15. The New Chef at the Cateen

"The new Chef at the Canteen"

Blade is weak as he walks through town. How come, he is very hungry. He has not had breakfast yet. He just got paid, he was not able to go to the grocery store yesterday. The reason... Drake and him marathon the latest episodes of the anime One Piece.

He can't refuse because that is his favourite anime. Luffy is his idol. Probably, if the opponents chase him now, he will be dead.

He looked at the Pergula-arena. He felt even more hungry. It was a square shape just like the Patopat, it was the landmark of the town. Patopat- It was one of the native delicacy in town. Sticky rice wrapped in coconut leaves and cooked in boiling syrup, from extracted sugar cane juice. At that delicacy Pozorrubio is known.

It seems that his saliva is dripping. He then wiped his mouth in no time. In the pergula the events in the town are held.

He is going straight to the market. Of course, he buys food first. He will just buy a burger first to eat. He will cook porridge when he get home. He even heard the complaint of his intestines for now.

He was wearing a shirt and shorts. He had not even combed that morning. He had to go to the market because their kitchen was empty. So he hurried and did not care about his appearance.

"Hello, Sir Blade!" Leah smiled at him.

He is one of his gay students, every morning at school, Leah approach him to carry his belongings. He was amaze to him at the market.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"I worked here at the market when there’s no class . Your really handsome Sir! Even your hair is messy."

"Ande lay atet! You just want a treat?"

"Sir... Just a burger."

His prediction was correct.

Blade looked around. It was hard, what if it wasn't just this student who was there? He will become broke in no time.

"Do you have any companions?"

"I’m alone, Sir. If you like, I’ll call my classmates?"

"Son of a bitch! No!"

"All right Sir. But you please treat me a burger. Just one, please?"

"Okay, but don’t tell this to others!"

"Okay, okay!" Leah was excited.

The two of them chat while buying their food. Then, he remembered Rane. Of course... He promised her that he would pay back if he gets his salary. He just had to fulfil his promise. The burger he orders are cooked and he and Leah ate together.

"Sir, it looks like you're dating me!" its language is thrilling.

Blade choked on those moments. He stroked his nape and back until he could breathe easily.

"Hey! Stop that! We are not dating!"

"Sir... You know that we had a crush on you. You are so handsome. That's why, I was inspired to go to school. It was as if I was looking at the angel's face every time I see you! "

If you only knew Leah, Blade is really an angel . Blade immediately consumed the food.

"I'm leaving, I need to go to the market. Don't spread that I treat you a snack, okay?"

"Yes, I promise! Bye! Love you!"

Blade just shook his head and went to the market. When he finished shopping he went to a bakeshop to buy a cake. He would give it to Rane and Conrad.

In the afternoon he went to Rane’s house. Drake was still asleep at this time. He did not want to take Drake with him because he might even bring Rane a flowers for dead.

"Sir, Blade?"

Rane was surprised when she saw Blade on the terrace of her room and he was holding a box of cake.

"Hello, Rane! Where’s Conrad?"

"He had a nap."

"Is that so? Here, I will repay you as I promised." he handed her the box of cake.

Rane was a little bit surprise as she accepts it. She didn't expect that Blade will be true to his promise. Every time Blade went here, he would ask food or a snack and then he will connect to their WIFI and surfs the internet.

"Thank you. You already have a salary, Sir?"

"Yes, I already have a salary. But don't spread it the others might want a treat and that’s not good for me. I will be ended up broke. But anyway, let's eat that cake. Let's just left Conrad some pieces and please, can you get some juice?"

“Okay!”

Rane went to the kitchen she was really amaze on Blade. She was a bit shock when someone talk..

"I guess you have a visitor?” Karen asked.

"I have no guests. Only Conrad will eat with me."

"Is that so? You seems like your keeping a secret. But just keep it for I will know it soon." Karen tormented her, before she left.

Rane take a deep breathe then she sigh. She left the kitchen with the tray that contains glass with orange juice, saucers, forks and bread knives. When she arrived, they ate immediately.

"This cake I bought was delicious! The taste of my first salary!”

She winced at Blade's reaction.

When it comes to food, Blade becomes a child. And this angel is also handsome. Oh dear! She’s having a crush on Blade.

"Ahm... Thank you for this cake."

"Your welcome. It’s just a little token for the good things that you did to me. By the way, did your Mommy make cookies? Can I ask? I'm still hungry, I might not be able to stop eating this cake. I don’t want Conrad to be upset."

Rane scratched her head so hard. Her feelings has been change! No more crush!

"All right, I'll just go to the kitchen and get some cookies."

When she returned, Blade immediately get the cookies she had brought and he left. Blade was eating cookies while walking when he met Francis. He was on a bicycle.

"Hello, Sir!"

"It's just a blade, we're not at school. Your diligence ah? What are you selling?"

"Pandesal, Sir ..." he replied shyly.

(Pandesal-our famous bread. For now, it has different flavours but still, I prefer the classic for it is good to dipped in coffee or chocolate drink.)

"Is there more?"

It opened the box and looked.

"Ah... Eh... It’s just one."

"All right, can I take it?"

When it comes to food, Blade is shameless.

"Ha?! Ahm... It is okay, Sir."

"Do you want some cookies? Let's go to the store, I’ll treat you some drinks. And let’s eat this cookies, together."

"Eh... I am shy, Sir!"

"Oh gosh! I'm not ashamed to ask for the pandesal! So don’t be shy at me, okay?"

As if Blade knows how to be shy?! Isn't it?

Francis did not refuse anymore. Francis leads his class. He is not only smart, he is also hardworking. After they had a snack, he immediately went home. Drake was awake when he arrived.

"Where have you been?"

"Everywhere."

"You came from Rane?" he asked.

Blade smiled foolishly at Drake.

"Yes, I brought her a cake. We had a snack together and we talked for a long time. Conrad take a nap this afternoon so no one bothered us. She was happy to be with me, you know that..."

"YOU! You really rival me! You don't let me flirt with Rane, then.. You! You flirt with her!”

Blade was just annoying Drake and he was success! The corpse was disturbed!

"I am not courting Rane. I just brought her a cake and we just talked."

But Drake was already mad.

"I feel that I’m losing a lot of blood in my body! Give me blood! Negative AB, first class! Buy at the blood bank, right now! I know you got paid!"

"The blood bank is closed at this time ..."

"I don't care! Just, get me some blood because I will soon run out of my body! It's your fault! Your so abusive!"

"Okay, fine! I’ll get you some blood."

Blade already left. But his nonsense does not end. Nothing, he just wants to teach Drake a lesson. He was pissed off on Drake the other day, because he boasted that the only blood he drank was the most rare in the whole world.

The negative AB first class. And in big blood banks Drake buys.! He immediately returned with a blood bag. He translated it into a glass wine. This corpse is very picky.

"Oh there!"

He handed over the glass to Drake and he takes it. Drake did not drink the blood immediately. He smelled it, first. Checking if it was safe.

"Wait, this blood smells weird ah! It's not negative AB first class! It's also not of type AB positive, O, and type A neither type B. What kind of blood is this?!"

"Why don't you taste it?"

Drake look at him and he seems to be skeptical. He sipped a little. Its eyes widened. Then, he drank one after another. It even rubbed, especially the contents of the blood bag. There was not even a drop left! Blade cover his mouth, he seemed to want to vomit.

"It's delicious! What kind of blood is this?"

"Don't find out!"

"No, tell me!" he insisted.

"You insist... It's the blood of the itchy dog that was carved by the drunkards around the street-corner. I asked the blood." Blade smiled.

(Killing dogs is prohibited by our law. But still, there some people who kills dog and ate them, sad. I don’t tolerate this matter for I love animals especially cats and dogs.)

Drake stiffened and could not speak. He ran into the bathroom and...

"AAARGHHH!" you know what happened.

Blade laughed stubbornly. His stomach hurt and he was crying by laughing. Drake came out of the bathroom weakening. His eyes were deepen.

"You are really shameless, Blade! You are shameless! You mixed my noble blood with... Blood of a very low creature! ABUWISIT AK PA!"

Drake was really mad. We can't blame him.

"Blood of low creatures... You dog itch! Ha ha ha ha! At least, there is proof that the blood of the dog itch is even tastier than the negative AB you are proud of..."

"TSE! Let's just fight!"

"Okay!"

Meanwhile... In a hidden place...

"What, are we just like this ?! We'll just leave Blade wandering around looking for us. Why don't we just rush him and finish him?!"

"All right, do it Astaroth if you want to die! Do you think you can just win him alone? Maybe you forget... We worked together before, just to overthrow him." Ike said.

"Until now, are you still afraid of Blade? Huh, he was imprisoned for a long time. What if he weakened?"

"That's just the work of a coward, Astaroth. The point for all of us... Wait for Blade to approach us. And by that, we will beat him. What is your ass blowing up there? Tang'na! " annoyed by Legion's language.

(Tang’na-means mother whore. Putang-ina is the complete word. It’s a bad word so don’t learned it. I’m just explaining it, okay?)

"We will see Blade at the right time and opportunity. Let’s convince him to join our group."

"Are you out of your mind, Zech?! After what we did to him, he won’t join us. We all know Blade, he will never be convince to be with us. Oh dear, I'm getting bored..."

"Do what you want Astaroth. It is your life. We will just continue to have fun in this world. We will not think about that stupid Blade!" said by Hydrian.

"I'm really going to do what I want because I'm really bored! I want a fight!"

"All right, you look for Blade yourself. Just come back to us when you finish him. Crazy-arrogant!" Vaulant's annoyed language.
