Chapter 75. Elizabeth
Chapter 75. Elizabeth
Rei was cooking the lunch menu as the people started to gossip about the recent news.
"Hey have you heard? The kingdom have said that they are cracking down on the capture for the seven sins and their kid." A customer said.
"Wasn't the sevens sins and the kid the criminals from a few years ago? They were the ones that killed the strongest holy knight." His friend responded.
"What's this? The kingdom are cracking down on the capture of the seven sins?" Rei asked as he turned his head over while still cooking.
"Ah Rei san might not know but they have already captured Fox sin ban and gathered the location of most of the other sins. Now that I think about it, Rei san has the same name as the kid." The person said.
"Shut it you, Rei san is so nice and such a good cook how can he be a kingdom wanted criminal?" His friend said knocking his shoulder.
"Hahahahahah my bad, Rei san you wont reduce my portion right?" He said looking apologetically at Rei.
Rei chuckled.
"Don't worry about it, I've have had a few people make that mistake." Rei said as he turned back to continue cooking.
'If only they knew, if only they knew....' He though as they were on point.
"Here, your lunch time special for 2." Rei said as he presented the meal to the duo.
"Hahaha thanks Rei san." They said before they started to eat with alot of vigour.
Rei started to clean up the equipment. Rei then walked over to the bar and told Meliodas about what he had just gathered.
"Hmm so they have started to speed up..." Meliodas said with a serious face.
But suddenly, a figure covered in large armour appeared and fell forward.
Everyone stared as they continued to eat their meal not wanting to stop at all.
Rei walked up to the armoured figure and picked him up.
"Don't say anything alright guys." Rei said as everyone nodded.
Rei then carried the figure to the guest room and opened up the armour.
"Eli chan...." Rei whispered as he saw Elizabeth. He could only shake his head as he removed the rest of the amour and put them by the side. Tucking her into the bed, Rei walked down and whispered into Meliodas' ear.
"Hey dad, the person in the armour was Eli chan."
Meliodas widened his eyes slightly as he went upstairs.
"Guy's we might have to close early today since that was a friend of my dad's so today I'll give everyone a free meal ok?" Rei said to which everyone cheered.
"Alright, line up everyone here gets meal so don't push." Rei said as he quickly went back to work.
They watched in awe as they could see Rei increase the pace of which he is making the food. He was using 8 large pans to quickly make all of the food. His hands became a blurr as he made each of the meals with unbelievable speed.
"Woah amazing...." The customers said as they watched in awe.
"Hehehe you noobs haven't seen anything yet." A person suddenly said causing the people to turn and see a aged man crossing his arms.
"I have been following the Boars Hat for many years now and I can say this is not even Rei san's fastest speed as he can control way more than just 8 pan. If I had a guess, Rei san can even do 15 pans if he wished. We call him Asura as everytime he increases his speed there seems to be the image of Asura behind him with 3 heads and 6 arms helping him cook. This is the Asura way of cooking. Many have tried to learn but was turned away each time through a cook out. Rei san seems to embed his fighting intent into his food causing the enemies to cower in fear not being able to cook to their best when they're against Rei san." The aged man analysed causing the people to widen their eyes in shock as they never knew Rei was called Asura.
"Oi ossan! Stop spreading my bad name." Rei called out as he continued to cook with 8 pans.
"Hahahaha sorry sorry, but Rei san is truly impressive to be able to cook with 8 pans. Most people can't even multi task with 3." The aged man said rubbing the back of his head with a laugh.
"It's easy, you just have to set the course of action in your mind while your body moves on instinct to flow through the plan without any wasted movement or else the taste would be changed badly." Rei said which right after he said it his eyes widened while his arms didn't stop moving.
'Wait....Isn't that what dad had been trying to tell my in my swordsmanship?? To keep to a style yet let your body be free and flow through them...' Rei thought as his swordsmanship passed the threshold.
"Hahaha ossan! Your comment helped me more than you think. Here I'll throw in 2 more dishes of any kind that you want." Rei called out as he wanted to thank the aged man for helping him break through with his swordsmanship.
"Really! Hahahahaha, then if you can, can you give me the usual then?" The man said as he received eyes of jealousy and envy from the other customers.
"Of course! Coming right up!" Rei shouted as he increase his production rate. Dishes were finished one after another, each time one was done, another was being made keeping a constant supply going. Rei wiped away his sweat as he gave the last portion to the last customer and brought the open sign back in.
"Phew, I can't believe I can use Joichiro's cooking with my swordsmanship. Hahaha Really, life is full of surprises." Rei said removing his apron. Walking back into the room Rei could see Meliodas touching Elizabeth's boobs with his haki.
"Oi dad...Really?" Rei asked as his mouth twitched a little seeing Meliodas feel the boobs of a sleeping girl.
"What?" Meliodas said when Elizabeth woke up and sat up straight, looking down she could see Meliodas grabbing her boobs causing her to blush.
"Hi, I was just checking your gender." Meliodas said causing Hawk to slap him using his ear.
"IDIOT!! YOU CAN SEE HER GENDER!!" Hawk shouted as Rei went out to quickly make her a meal.
Soon, Elizabeth and Meliodas could be seen walking downstairs.
"Hi, do you want some food?" Rei asked with a smile.
"Umm if that is ok." Elizabeth said embarrassed.
Rei handed her some egg fried rice which had a assortment of different meats and veg on top.
"Here try this." Rei said as he smiled.
"Thank you, but I don't know if this will offend you but how are you able to cook with a blind fold?" She asked.
"Oh that's because my other senses can help me even without my eyes." Rei said simply as he tidied up.
"Ahh! This is the best food I've ever eaten!" She exclaimed as she took a bite.
"Hahaha thats what they all say about my sons cooking after the first bite." Meliodas said with a grin.
"Wait, he's your son?" Elizabeth pointed towards Rei.
"Adopted son." Rei corrected her.
"Ahh I see." She said eating her meal.
*DON DON DON!!
Three heavy knocks could be heard disrupting Elizabeth's meal.
"COME OUT! WE KNOW YOU ARE IN THERE!!!" A voice could be heard from the other side of the door.
"Dad let me deal with this, I'll show them the consequences of interrupting a ladies meal." Rei said with a smile.
"Just don't hurt them beyond repair." Meliodas said nonchalantly.
"Got it..." Rei said as he walked to a door with a smile.
