Soul Karmas

"Hey, Noel, be a good boy and help me cook the dishes. Really, don't be so lazy… at least help me cut and pass on the ingredient? You are my partner, right?"

The entire time, Snow is just laying down lazily upon a huge pillow and having a soft blanket place upon the ground.

While Snow's sleepy murky brown eyes have been gazing at the busy blonde man that has taken out the tools needed for cooking outside upon the dangling silver chain on the side of his waist.

In this world, the most nonfighter halflings become a chef which is usually the one with light power, while the halfling with dark power creates a power object relating to the ability of darkness, which having a small space inside an object is one that are produced by them.

So, having a dimension inside the simple black jade bracelet Snow has given to Claude wasn't suspicious and problematic matter, although he suddenly remembers the bracelet made with a black feather in Ange's wrist after arriving in the world.

And the object was made by the client Noel using his black feather as the vessel which was already an excellent piece of evidence enough to show that Noel has deep feelings toward Ange but the young man has remained oblivious the entire time.

Honestly, Snow suspects that Ange has shut that certain part of his brain while turning a blind eye about it or just in great denial and just has his eyes to Brian.

"... I'm blind."

"Don't lie! At least be a reasonable partner and give a better excuse!"

Say the unreasonable person who was famously known in their organization, Snow couldn't help but roll his eyes at such a hypocrite man causing a baby carrot stick to be thrown his way since Claude has caught his reaction.

Although, Snow has easily caught the carrot stick with his hand before he ate it in a rather loud sound while blatantly telling about how delicious it was while staring at the annoyed sky-blue eyes with his half-lidded one.

"... I'll just cheer while you cook."

Regarding the status of Snow's broken heart, there are two types of emotions that are far more prominent among the others which are hunger and sleepiness. So he wasn't really being lazy for no reason.

"Brother Claude… please cook delicious food…"

"Brother Claude… please make sure it also looks good…"

"Brother Claude… hurry… I'm hungry..."

Although, Snow seemed to have a habit of teasing and annoying the blonde man while slowly rolling around the large blanket and pillow while hugging a small red apple shape in his arms with a perfectly childish, adorable, and annoying attitude of a child.

"... You... "

"Hahaha, Claude finally met his match, huh? The kid is truly a perfect partner for him!"

"Arnold stops it, can you see that Claude is about to erupt, don't make yourself a target…"

The other young man in their four groups has suddenly let out a loud laugh while the beautiful young woman has rolled her eyes while gently patting the young man's arm with great familiarity and intimately placing her hand upon it.

Snow could easily comprehend that the two of them seemed to be a couple and he couldn't help but give the blonde man that was cutting potatoes a pitying look, although, Claude appeared to see the look in his eyes and has almost cut his finger because of it.

"What is that look for? Somehow… it irritates my heart…"

"Ah, I am just thinking about how Brother Claude is a pitiful single dog… while I'm so fortunate enough to be a kid since I'm too young for romance…"

"...!"

Snow doesn't know if this is part of the vile aura effect, but he honestly enjoys seeing the speechless and irritated expression in that beautiful face of the blonde man.

"Brother Claude, don't be angry. Don't you know that such emotion is unpleasant to see in a beautiful face?"

"Isn't this unpleasant beautiful face going to be yours? As my partner, do you think I will allow you to be in a romantic relationship after you grow up? Heh, we will be a single dog together!"

…. Somehow, that self-confidence is annoying and adorable at the same time.

Snow has finally swallowed the food in his mouth before a sweet smile oozing with charm and adorableness appeared on his delicate face. 

"I don't want to be a single dog though… since you have a strong illness called possessiveness which I seemed to be unable to ignore later on… then how about I make you my wife after I grow up?"

"Pffttt…. Hahahahah!"

Ignoring the laughing Arnold and chuckling Lisette that has been cooking in their own setup kitchen since Snow has mentioned at the start about preferring to eat the food that the blonde man will produce, he also witnessed how Claude has suddenly choked and splutter while many emotions appear on his face.

"What the hell!"

"So, do you want to be my future wife?"

"Brat, who will be your future wife? Just… take a nap like a good boy while I cook your food alright? I will honestly have a heart attack by the nonsense you have been spouting off."

Snow that has been refused on his unexpected offers that his mouth has unconsciously spoken out without thinking too much about it has just blinked his murky brown eyes while there wasn't any disappointment and sadness that has emerged in his heart.

Although Snow thought the man appeared so lovely and amusing to tease, however, it doesn't change the fact that his heart hasn't been move to where he suddenly felt romantic emotion toward him.

Well, if Claude has said yes, then even Snow wouldn't mind accepting it since the blonde man is already his future lover in his mind so it wasn't really a problem.

Too bad for Claude though… Snow would just let himself be chase once again since it will be nice to experience once more after having a short fresh start relating the two of them.

So the ignorant and unconcerned Claude that has just lost the chance of becoming together with his future lover in a faster way has continued to cook the food, before finally taking out the important ingredients that have been kept inside the black jade bracelet on his wrist.

"What!"

Suddenly, the quiet group in the far distance that has remained silent the whole time couldn't help but let out a loud sound full of astonishment and surprise.

Even Claude that was just planning to take out some items was greatly surprised when the black jade bracelet seemed to have taken out half of the ingredients without any warning.

And it was many piles of animal dead bodies along with the vegetables and herbs that have aura within them, showing how precious each one of the ingredients on the ground is.

Deers, wild boars, bears, rabbits, peacock, cabbage, celery, carrots, potatoes, red chili, apple, grapes, orange, and many ingredients that easily cause everyone to die with great envy.

And Snow has just let out a chuckle after witnessing the dumbfounded expression on the blonde man's face since it was something he has secretly done after seeing that Brian and Ange were in the same place as them.

Let them witness what they lost because of their betrayal. Of course, Snow has also planned to treat Claude as the greatest treasure in the entire world along with added teasing and bullying.

"Brother Claude… I have gotten all of that for you~ I'm still young, but aren't I brimming with overwhelming talent along with great potential as a wonderful husband? Too bad I won't ask a second time, so just remain single for life."

Snow lip curls up while laying in the large comfortable pillow with a casual attitude after speaking such declaration although the domineering atmosphere that appeared around him was unusual while at the same time felt so right.

He was truly a person full of contradiction and unusualness.

"I wonder who will be my future lover…"

Claude: "..." 

This brat is asking to be spanked again… although after hearing the declaration and witnessing such a scene… should I lock ourselves together into a black room later on?
