章節 656: Seeing her again

In front of Mafuyu's apartment, Lou tries to stay calm, he slowly reaches out his nervous hand and knocks on the door.

Knock!

He waited nervously, he then heard the movement inside slowly commit closer while his heart started to beat even crazier as the life energy committed closer.

Kach!

The door open, Mafuyu who clueless open the door and ask," Who are you-"

"Hey?"

Bang!

Luau who did not even finish his greeting got a closed-door fast, no reply whatsoever, she just closed the door after seeing Lou.

"Hey, let's talk, no need to hide from me."

"....... I don't want to see you.."

"But I want to see you…" Lou helplessly said.

"Just give me time."

".... I can't…."

"....."

Lou knocks again trying to convince Mafuyu to open the door but Mafuyu persists, not wanting to see Lou at all.

He waits… and waits… and waits until the sun slowly goes down and night starts to cover the whole world.

But Lou never left, he just stood there like a stone waiting for Mafuyu to open the door but after six hours, the door still closed.

Lou helplessly said," At least you need to eat, don't wait me, you can rest first, i will wait for you until you decide to see me."

"..."

He then heard the movement inside, it seems Mafuyu finally left the door at last, he knew that she was also waiting on the opposite side but Lou did not force his way, he wanted Mafuyu to decide it.

While thinking when she is going to let him in, he hears a loud movie inside, some sound like something breaking while some sound like overflowing water.

Lou then smells the burning smell coming from the room and the black smoke next after the smell comes out.

He comes closer to knock again but Mafuyu opens it first for him.

Block smoke suddenly comes out from the room while Mafuu's head comes out while looking at Lou.

She looks at Lou with a face full of dread and embarrassment.

"What's the matter?"

"....C-Can you… cook?"

"..."

Mafuyu's face was shaded with red after seeing his reaction, she angrily asked this time," Can you cook?"

"Yes."

"Good, come in."

Mafuyu then widely opened the door and let him in."

Lou's helpless smile, from her reaction, it seems she dont know how to cook at all, just for the black smoke coming from her small kitchen and her funny looking face, he hit the bullseye.

He removes his shoes while Mafuyu gently bends down and takes out new sleepers and puts them on his feet. Lou is slightly dazed, then smiles, he gladly accepts her service and slowly walks in the kitchen.

What he sees is a trace of tragedy, a man-made disaster, a place that even slime doesn't want to live.

The kitchen

Not just any kitchen, it's only Mafuyu's apartment kitchen.

Lou can even categorize the kitchen of her as a forbidden place just from what he sees right now.

Mafuyu feels embarrassed seeing Lou reaction, she wants to pull Lou outside but Lou already enters and starts cleaning, she wants to help but Lou gently pushes her out while starts cleaning again.

While cleaning, Lou starts to cook some food to minimize the time that he needs to consume.

While cleaning, Lou also notes those sticky notes that are sticking on the refrigerator, some are just reminders but most of them actually note what he likes to eat.

There's also some reminder when taking care of your husband, taking care of food nutrition.

He even notices some children's books around and some notes and research appear taking care of the baby.

The most absurd thing that Lou discovers is the hidden cabinet.

A hidden cabinet full of baby supplies, Lou slightly dazed seeing those supplies that Mafuu prepared, she still has many months to wait to give birth but she is already prepared.

Seeing her secret, Mafuyu hurriedly pushed Lou and hid it, she closed it then angrily looked at Lou.

Lou pulls her to his arms and gently hugs her.

"Sorry."

"Why are you saying sorry?"

"... I'm an idiot…. I didn't even notice it… .sorry."

"It's not your fault, I'm the one who tries to hide it... I want you to be carefree as always…." She gently whispered while letting him hug her.

"Just accept my apologies... I feel sorry right now."

"Then I will gladly accept it." Mafuyu felt that her decision seemed right, the result was different from what she imagined but right now, the result is not that really important.

"Let's help each other,"

"Yes."
