Chapter 712 - Social Media (1/2)
After testing the power of Gundam against Gastrea, Haru and Esdeath went back to Saitake's residence.
Haru left his Gundam in the warehouse and he told Saitake to not touch it since he was afraid for the scientist in this world to mess up his Gundam. He didn't fully trust Saitake even though he had placed a collar bomb on his neck.
Saitake was disappointed, but he didn't say anything, only told the scientists in his area to not touch it.
The scientist who heard Saitake's decision could only grumble since they really wanted to observe this Gundam closely.
Haru looked at their reaction and also knew how hard it was when a scientist was forbidden to research something that they took an interest in, but then he really didn't want them to mess up his Gundam.
If he allowed them to observe then it was the same as teasing them, and that was why it was better to say that they disallowed to do so since it would mess up the machine, especially when he told them that they might be killed once something happened to the machine.
Esdeath also reminded them at the same time.
When Esdeath the one who reminded them, they turned silent.
Everyone knew very well that the one who piloted the robot was Esdeath and seeing how brutal she was made them shudder.
Esdeath once again raised her prestige as a strong fighter in this world.

Inside Saitake's residence, Saitake looked at Esdeath and Haru with a complex expression. He saw Haru cooking in the kitchen while Esdeath was meditating with her sword.
”.....”
Saitake didn't say anything, but he was attracted by the smell which was coming from the kitchen.
Esdeath also had a hard time meditating when a delicious fragrance kept coming toward her nose.
*Grumble!*
Their stomachs started to make noise and made them quite uncomfortable waiting for dinner.
”Haru, when is dinner ready?” Esdeath asked.
”Soon, wait for a moment,” Haru said.
But his words were similar to punishment in their ears.
Esdeath was impatient and walked toward him looking at what kind of food that he had made. She saw a quite large pan with reddish rice with various seafood such as shrimps, clams, and squid. There was also ham, various vegetables, and pieces of lemon on each sector of the large pan. ”What is this?”
”Paella,” Haru said.
'Paella?!'
Saitake who was sitting on his head listening to their conversation and couldn't wait to test his food. It wasn't a secret that he was a food enthusiast and his only enjoyment in this life was testing various food which was made by a lot of famous chefs. He put a serious expression on his face and thought that Haru might be bluffing and the food which Haru had made wasn't good. Even though the aroma from the Paella was giving a slight acidity increasing his appetite, he wouldn't say that it was good until he had put that food into his mouth.
Paella is a Spanish rice dish originally from Valencia. Paella is one of the best-known dishes in Spanish cuisine.
Esdeath wanted to take part in the Paella, but her hand was slapped by Haru. She pouted at him after she was disallowed to test it.
”It's not over yet,” Haru said and added a garnish that increased the aroma of the Paella. He brought the pan to the dining room while looking at Saitake who seemed to keep glancing at them. ”Saitake-san, do you want to join us?”
”H - Huh?” Saitake was stunned then coughed. ”Well, you've invited me, it'll be rude to reject your invitation.” He stood up while raising his huge stomach up proudly.
Esdeath snorted but didn't say anything afterward since she felt that this guy was really similar to Honest, but the same as Honest if Saitake kept continuing his action then Saitake might lose his life the same as Honest.
Haru took a portion for each of them on the plate before starting to eat at the same time.
'Beautiful...'
