47 Narcissistic Lance (2/2)

”Lance, if you want to enter this dorm, you will have to do the work everyone else does. We all have chores like cleaning and organizing and helping out with a bakery. If you want to join, then you have to cook a yummy dinner everyday!” Lance sucked at domestic things. Renae thought that this would surely chase him away.

Sure enough, Lance's face fell. ”Cook?”

”Yup, it's not like we have anything against you,” Renae nodded, ”but all boys who want to enter the dorm will be in charge of meals. So they must be able to cook.”

Renae was actually lying of course. Hana's team of Pokemon actually took care of the entire dorm. Especially Gardevoir, who was like a maid, butler, and cook alll in one. Hana didn't had the heart to stop her roll though.

”The dorm has a tight budget so we can't order food or a cook. And we all miss homemade food.” Renae continued adding on to the lie. ”You can're hire anyone else to do it for you either. After all, we don't hire maids to do our chores.”

Lance frowned. ”Are you sure?”

”Yes! If you can cook, I'll let you in instantly!” Renae exclaimed. Hana just nodded along with Renae.

”Fine, I'll be back.” Lance gave them a wink and sauntered off.

Renae slammed the door. ”Finally, that pest is gone. I swear, if I have to see his face daily, I'll lose my mind.”

Hana tapped her fingers thoughtly. That Lance person . . . was suspicious. And somehow, she felt like they have been tricked.

”Hey, I got an amazing oppurtunity for you!” Lance bursted into Leo's study the moment he reached home.

Leo didn't even look up at the sudden entrance. He just continued looking over documents.

”Hana Zhao.”

”What do you mean?” Leo responded quickly. Tsk. Tsk. So you only pay attention to me when I mention her? Lance grinned slyly.

”We — you can live together with her in a dorm. All freshman enter one remember? It's a good chance to geet closer to her and find out about the antidote.”

”Dorming?” Leo nodded inwardly. That didn't seem half-bad.

”The end of the month is coming soon.” Lance reminded. ”What if the next attack is even worst?” The flame poison was a terrible weakness. His eyes darkened at the though of it spreading out. ”There are already rumors, brother. We need a solution soon.”

”Alright, take care of the procedures.” Leo agreed.

Lance inwardly cheered. Score! Now to add the finishing touches.

”Well, we should also hide your identity since we can't have others knowing about your condition. And you see, it's about your cooking . . . ”

He couldn't wait to see the following months. He predicted that it would be quite exciting.
