Food saved the world.
With just one glance,
Lorna's entire attention was drawn to it.
The lamb chop that had just been taken out of the oven was still warm, and the high temperature made the crackling sound of popping oil on its crispy surface.
The lamb fat wrapped in sauce slowly slid down and dripped onto the grill, making a seductive sizzling sound.
Lorna: "…"
Be reasonable.
She suspected that in order to eat the food made by Issou himself,
She was willing to give her life to him.
"Are you hungry?" Yi Su looked up at Lorna, who was at the kitchen door, and said, "It's almost time to eat."
"Do you need help?" Lorna's gaze moved away from the lamb chop and fell on Issou's hand. Looking at her slender wrist holding such a heavy tray, she felt like her wrist would be crushed by gravity in the next second.
Seeing Issou looking at her, Lorna said, "You know, I'm a mutant.
I'm a mutant. "
As soon as she finished speaking,
A cloud of green energy floated on her hand. The next second, Issou felt his hand become lighter.
The tray containing the lamb chop was lifted up by an invisible force. It floated in the air and steadily landed on the dining table outside.
"Wow." Issou took off the thermal gloves on his hands.
He asked with a smile, "So Lorna, can you control several trays at the same time?"
"Several trays?" Lorna glanced at Issou and asked word by word, "Are you kidding me?"
She controlled the energy to open the cupboard.
Two sets of knives and forks floated to the dining table automatically.
She continued to speak,
"Issou, do you have some misunderstanding about my superpower?"
Seeing Lorna's expression, Issou couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, I just think that if the waitress I hired had your ability, we would be able to serve the food much faster."
"Serve the dishes?!" Issou's words made Lorna reveal a rare expression of disbelief. She looked at her and said, "After seeing my superpower, the first thing you thought of was to use my superpower to serve the dishes?!"
Issou put his hands on Lorna's back and pushed her out of the kitchen, saying, "What can I do? I'm the one who's going to open a Chinese restaurant."
So, she couldn't be blamed for thinking of how to make use of Lorna's superpower the moment she saw it.
"What's more, I'm not a mutant," Issou shrugged innocently at Lorna. "Being normal limits my imagination."
Lorna was about to speak when Issou placed a piece of lamb chop in front of her. Lorna was speechless.
Did she think that by doing this, she would forgive her?
…
…
…
Alright.
She would.
Lorna, who had bowed her head to the food industry, glanced at Issou, then took the fork from his hand. Looking at the delicious lamb chop, she couldn't help but put it into her mouth.
The moment the lamb chop entered her mouth, her first reaction was that it was hot, but when she bit into it, it was crispy. It was so crispy that she could almost hear the crunching sound of the golden skin breaking.
Then, it was tender. After the tender and juicy lamb absorbed Issou's special seasoning, it diluted the original rank smell of the lamb. Combined with the spicy taste of the cumin in her mouth, when she chewed, her mouth was filled with the perfect combination of salty, spicy, and crispy.
Lorna was speechless.
What the hell!
How could Issou's food be so delicious!?
…
A tray of lamb chop was obviously not a small amount, but Issou and Lorna were able to finish it all together.
After enjoying the delicious meal, Lorna looked much gentler. She looked at Issou sitting across from her and said, "Although you're not a mutated human, Issou, you do have some amazing magical powers in certain aspects."
Hearing this, Issou smiled and pointed at the tray in front of them. "Like this?"
"Yes, but not just this," Lorna leaned back in her chair and raised an eyebrow at Issou. "And your smile."

The next day.
After Lorna had breakfast at Issou's place, she planned to leave. But before she left, she asked worriedly, "Are you sure you're okay? Issou. "
"Of course." Issou smiled warmly because of Lorna's concern, but she had to admit that she was fine now.
She admitted that what happened yesterday was indeed very scary. But before something even scarier happened, wasn't she saved?
Therefore, a delicious lamb chop meal and Lorna's concern was enough to stop Issou from thinking about what happened yesterday.
Issou said to Lorna, "Even if you don't believe what I say, you should at least believe what you see with your own eyes, right?"
Hearing this, Lorna looked at Issou. The black-haired girl, who slept until dawn last night, looked full of energy. The smile on her face was so bright that it seemed to be able to blow away the haze in one's heart.
Okay.
Issou did look good like this.
Lorna was about to speak, but Issou suddenly winked at her. She said, "Besides, Lorna, are you sure that Marcus won't come looking for me if you continue to stay here?"
Lorna was worried that she would not dare to stay at home alone after what happened yesterday, so she stayed to accompany her for the night, and then …
She had already eaten her fill last night, but Lorna and Marcus worked together to feed her a mouthful of dog food. Issou was speechless.
Lorna was not embarrassed by Issou's teasing. Instead, she seriously suggested, "Maybe you can ask me for help."
Issou asked, "Will you help me? Lorna. "
"Of course," Lorna said, and raised a finger at Issou. "As long as I can get a delicious meal."
"Hey." Issou pretended to be in disbelief. "What happened to being friends?"
Lorna could not help but laugh. She reached out and hugged Issou. She patted her back and said, "No matter what, call me if you need anything."
"I will." Issou hugged her back. "Thank you."
Whether it was because of her that exposed her identity as a mutated human, or because she stayed to accompany her for the night, Issou was very grateful.

After Lorna left, Issou did not stay at home. Instead, he went back to his room, packed up his documents, and left.
No matter what happened, as long as Issou wanted the Chinese restaurant to open successfully, she had to apply for a business license, a retail permit, an inspection permit from the Ministry of Health, a signboard permit, and so on.
Issou, who was finally done but almost broke his leg from all the running, was speechless.
So why had she been so foolish as to jump into the pit after being provoked by her own mother?
[You finally realized?] After receiving Issou's call, her mother could not help but laugh. [Good girl, it seems like your reaction arc is not that long. I thought it would be comparable to the Nile River, but it turned out to be the Amazon River?]
Issou was speechless.
She did not feel happy, okay?
What was the difference between first and second?
They were both created by the world! Of! Names! Of! Length!
[So you really did it on purpose?] Issou asked curiously. [Why did you suddenly ask me to start a business in New York?]
After Issou graduated, she and her mother discussed the topic of starting a business. However, for some reason, it became her mother paying for her to open a Chinese restaurant in New York.
At the time, Issou was confused by her mother's words. Only now did she realize that she could start a business without going abroad, so why did she have to come to New York?
Although it was necessary to apply for various licenses to open a Chinese restaurant, it was always more convenient to have someone who knew them in their hometown.
[What do you think?] Her mother did not answer. Instead, she threw the question back to Issou.
Upon hearing this, Issou seriously thought about it. Her mother knew that she could break the Dimensional Wall, but she still asked her to come to New York. Putting aside the fact that she did not know which Dimensional Wall she would break, she also knew that New York was so dangerous now, but she still asked her to stay here and continue to wander …
Issou felt like the truth was right at the tip of her tongue. [Mom, did you …]
[Have you been watching some messy TV series recently?]
[Where?] Through the phone, Issou could hear the disdain in her mother's voice. She said self-righteously, [I've been so busy recently that I'm dog-tired, okay?]
[Oh.] Her mother said confidently, [Then it must have been in the past.]
Issou, "…"
[Don't change the topic.] Issou cleared her throat. [Just tell me if you don't like me because I'm a burden.]
[Stop fooling around.] Her mother chuckled. [Is there a second person in the world who is more adorable than my obedient daughter?]
Upon hearing this, Issou happily replied, [That's true.]
Hearing Issou's reply, her mother, who knew that she only heard the word "cuter" and ignored the word "burden", was speechless.
My Big Baby might be a fool, right?
For a moment, her mother did not know if it was a good idea to let Issou go to New York alone. This was because her silly look really made her feel uneasy.
Issou, who did not know that her mother had already equated her with a fool in her mind, was relieved when she found out that her mother did not ask her to come to New York to kick her out of the house.
