Lorna originally thought that what happened today would have some effect on Issou, but to her surprise, he looked like nothing had happened.
Okay then.
It seemed that she had underestimated Issou.
While thinking, Lorna suddenly smelled a tantalizing aroma. When she looked up, she saw Issou, wearing a pair of thermal gloves, taking out a grilled lamb chop from the oven.
With just one look, Lorna's attention was completely drawn to it.
The lamb chops that had just been taken out of the oven were still warm, and the high temperature made the crackling sound of oil popping on the crispy surface. The sauce wrapped in the mutton fat slowly slid down and dripped onto the grill, making a tempting sizzling sound.
Lorna: "…"
Be reasonable.
She suspected that in order to eat the food personally made by Issou, she would give her life to him.
"Hungry?" Issou looked up at Lorna, who was at the kitchen door, and said, "It's almost time."
"Do you need help?" Lorna's gaze moved away from the grilled lamb chop and landed on Issou's hand. Looking at her slender wrist holding such a heavy tray, Lorna had a feeling that her wrist would be crushed by gravity in the next second.
Seeing Issou looking at her, Lorna said, "You know, I'm a mutant."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a ball of green energy floating in her hand. The next second, Issou felt his hand lighten. He saw the tray with the lamb chop being lifted by an invisible force. It floated in the air and landed firmly on the dining table outside.
"Wow." Issou took off his thermal gloves and 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?"
She controlled the energy to open the cupboard and let two sets of cutlery float onto the dining table. She continued, "Issou, do you have some misunderstanding about my superpower?"
Seeing Lorna's expression, Issou could not 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 food?!" Issou's words made Lorna reveal an indescribable expression. She looked at Issou and said, "After you saw my superpower, the first thing you thought of was to use my superpower to serve the food?!"
Issou put his hands on Lorna's back and pushed her out of the kitchen, "I have no choice, I'm the one who wants to open a Chinese restaurant.
So it was no wonder that Issou thought of using Lorna's superpower as soon as she saw it, okay?
"Besides, I'm not a mutant," Issou shrugged innocently at Lorna, who was sitting down. "Being ordinary limits my imagination."
Lorna heard this and was about to speak when Issou put a piece of lamb chop in front of her with a fork. Lorna, "…"
Did Issou think that she would forgive her if she did this?
…
…
…
Okay.
She would.
Lorna, who had bowed to the food industry, glanced at Issou and took the fork from his hand. Looking at the delicious lamb chop, she could not 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 brown surface breaking.
Then it was tender. The tender and juicy lamb chop absorbed Issou's special seasoning and diluted the rank odor of the lamb. Mixed with the spiciness of the cumin, when she chewed, her mouth was filled with the perfect combination of savory, spicy, and crispy.
Lorna, "…"
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 who was sitting opposite her and said, "Although you're not a mutated human, Issou, you do have some amazing magical powers."
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 seemed to be worried and asked, "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 had 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 make Issou forget 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?"
Upon hearing this, Lorna glanced at Yi Su. The black-haired girl, who had 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 clouds in one's heart with just a glance.
Okay.
Issou did look good like this.
Lorna was about to speak when Issou suddenly winked at her. She said, "Besides, Lorna, are you sure that if you continue to stay with me, Marcus won't come and cause trouble for me?"
Lorna was worried that she would not dare to stay at home alone after what happened yesterday, so she stayed with her for the night, and then …
She had already eaten her fill last night, but Lorna and Marcus, who were video chatting, had teamed up and stuffed a mouthful of dog food into her mouth. Yi Su: "…"
Lorna was not embarrassed by Issou's teasing. Instead, she suggested in a serious tone, "Maybe you can ask me for help."
Issou asked, "Will you help me? Lorna. "
"Of course," Lorna said as she raised a finger at Issou. "As long as I can get a good meal."
"Hey." Issou pretended to be in disbelief. "Where's the friend we agreed on?"
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 his identity as a mutant was exposed, or because she stayed with him 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 smoothly, she had to apply for a business license, a retail permit, an inspection permit from the Ministry of Health, a license to hang a sign, and so on.
Issou, who finally got it done but almost broke his leg, 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 that your reaction time is not that long. I originally thought that it would be comparable to the Nile, but it's just the Amazon?]
Issou was speechless.
He did not feel happy at all.
What was the difference between first and second?
They were both born from the world! Of! The! Of! Long!
[So you really did it on purpose?] Issou asked curiously. [Why did you ask me to come to New York to start a business?]
After Issou graduated, she and her mother had discussed the topic of starting a business. However, for some reason, in the end, 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 that, Yi Su really thought about it seriously. Her biological mother clearly knew that she could break the dimensional wall, but she still let her come to New York. Putting aside the fact that she didn't know which dimensional wall she would break, she still let her stay here and continue to wander when she found out how dangerous New York was now …
