Chapter 864 - Siblings' Ramen Feast and Plans for Bloom Week

The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the Pedrarruna Forest, surrounding the expansive manor. Inside, in the spacious kitchen, Theo, a man in his early twenties, moved with practiced efficiency. He was preparing a ramen dinner. He carefully measured ingredients – broth, noodles, various meats, and vegetables – demonstrating the precision expected of a head chef and restaurant owner. He simultaneously prepared several side dishes: a simple salad, a plate of gyoza, and a bowl of pickled vegetables. His movements were economical and precise, a long time of experience evident in his actions. Theo paused to adjust the flame beneath a pot of simmering broth; internally, he was pleased with the rich aroma filling the kitchen. He anticipated Aurora's arrival. He hoped the meal would be a welcome treat after a long school day for his young sister.
