Chapter 714: No One Can Save It (2/2)
'Is Chef Krune an idiot?'
Jilin smiled bitterly after hearing that. Even Jalo, who had seen those two together for the first time, could read the mood in the air, but Krune still didn't notice a single thing!
Bai and the others, who were looking through the door, almost fainted as well! Lino even felt the urge to get inside and kick Krune's ass! Unfortunately, Bai held him back.
Nina, too, felt like a deflating balloon.
They once again were made clear of a simple fact. Don't ever, ever underestimate Krune's EQ! His denseness is capable of putting even the most resistant heavenly materials in the Universes to shame!
”Don't worry. Although it is just a year, it is also an entire year. I'll be sure to take care of you three properly.”
Krune said with a solemn expression, sure that he had understood Nina's intentions correctly. He was even feeling incredibly proud inside.
'I'm getting even better at understanding the human's emotions. Feifei would probably be very happy if she saw me today.'
Well, Feifei would probably send him flying with a kick. Sadly, she wasn't here at the moment.
”Alright! Let's go back to work. Bai is collecting everyone's orders for me. Now that they saw I'm back, there is definitely a lot coming our way.”
Bai and the others also felt disappointed, not knowing what to say to Nina. It was evident that expecting anything from Krune would be a lost cause.
Jilin shook his head as he put his hand on Nina's shoulder. He then murmured on her ears.
”I'm telling ya, there is only one thing that would work with Chef Krune, a very straightforward and clear action. These words with hidden meanings will not bring you anywhere.”
Nina got red once more. She felt helpless about how everyone seemed to know what she wanted except Krune himself.
Finally, she made a decision. Since everyone already knows, what's the point in continuing to hide her feelings like this? Her body filled with determination as she once again looked at Krune.
”Chef Krune!”
Krune, who was about to go wash his hands, looked back at Nina, puzzled.
”Yes?”
Nina then took a deep breath before saying.
”I love you!”
Jilin and Jalo froze in place. Bai and the others at the door, who were just about to go back to work, immediately turned around as fast as lightning.
'It's here!'
But the most surprising thing was still to come.
Krune looked straight at Nina before nodding his head.
”I know. I love you too.”
*Boom!*
Everyone's heads exploded! Well, not literally. But still, they felt like that. They never thought that Krune also had feelings for Nina. He hid it just way too well!
Nina also didn't know what to do. She had never expected that her confession would go this well! She kept avoiding Krune's eyes as her entire body felt hot with excitement.
But it was then that Bai, Krune's oldest employee, felt that something wasn't right.
'Wasn't that answer way too... bland?'
He looked around as he noticed everyone's eager eyes too. In the end, as the oldest employee and the second in command, he had to put his body on the line to confirm the situation.
”Ahem... Chef Krune...”
Krune looked at Bai, puzzled.
”Oh, you are here. Did you finish taking the orders?”
Bai narrowed his eyes after hearing that.
'Is it really the time for you to care about the order?'
As his doubts increased, he decided to act.
”Cough, cough... I haven't. But I have another question...”
”Do you love me too?”
Everyone almost passed out! Bai, don't you have a wife and kid already? Since when did you become gay?!
However, they soon understood what Bai was trying to do. Sure enough, Krune nodded his head.
”Of course! I love everyone here. You are all very important to me.”
*Bang!*
Everyone fell with their faces on the floor... kind of feeling. Finally, Nina and the others comprehended Bai's actions.
'That's not the kind of love Nina is talking about at all!'
In all the four realms, no one can save the wisp's EQ!
