Guards For The Princess

Chapter 88: Chopsticks

The Angkara Elvira and Tinia Atmaja had a small appetite, and they always spent only a quarter of the food Uncle Ken had sent them. It seems pointless, but Uncle Ken wants the girls to have a balanced and healthy diet, so make sure to always have three or four different dishes coupled with one soup.

This type of dish should be prepared in standard portions. It is impossible to set fire and seasoning on a small portion of the dish and still finish the dish while maintaining the same quality. Thus, the chefs at the hotel followed the standard menu when preparing dinner for Uncle Ken to take.

Angkara Elvira found the taste of food to be bland in some mouthfuls as the image of Ardian Prasetya saving her yesterday kept popping up in her mind. He always chatted excitedly with Tinia Atmaja every time they ate together, and the meal usually took up to half an hour until they were done, but now it couldn't be like that.

He's very troubled. Did the man really take his job seriously, would he sacrifice himself for a few dollars? Angkara Elvira does not know where her father managed to find someone like her, but she finds herself softening her attitude towards Ardian Prasetya significantly.

"Well, I'll let him stay for a while. It's kind of nice to have a bodyguard around, "inner Angkara Elvira.

"I'm full." Angkara Elvira's previous attitude towards Ardian Prasetya was indeed quite ridiculous, now that he thought about it. The man seemed to be eating him a lot, and that was where his great energy must have come from. He'll leave more food for her tonight.

"Eh? Are you not feeling well, Elvira? You barely touched your food." Tinia Atmaja asked curiously. The girl only ate a handful how could she be full?

"I'm just a little tired, I guess." Angkara Elvira shook her head. "I'll go up. Go tell Ardian Prasetya to eat with you."

"Huh? What's wrong with you?" Tinia Atmaja blinked when Angkara Elvira did not answer him and immediately went to walk up the stairs.

Angkara Elvira is a problem. Ardian Prasetya was someone he really hated, but he had saved his life. He wanted to treat her better, but the man refused to take her cue.

Tinia Atmaja was puzzled, trying to figure out what else her best friend was thinking when she saw the languid figure of Angkara Elvira disappear upstairs. Is he still traumatized by what happened yesterday? It's impossible, right? All day, why are you still thinking about that?

Tinia Atmaja put down her chopsticks, running to Ardian Prasetya's room to shout at her doorstep. "Hey, Shield Man! Dinner is ready!"

Ardian Prasetya opened the door and looked at Tinia Atmaja. "You called me?"

"Who else? you think I'll call Elvira the Shield Man? You're the only guy here knows...." Tinia Atmaja gave a soft slap on her forehead. "Oh? My fault. There's another guy here, sorry, hahaha."

Ardian Prasetya was speechless as he understood why this little demon was laughing. This girl must be comparing her to Elvira's pet dog, the God what's her name.

Ardian Prasetya peeked his head out the door, Angkara Elvira was not at the table. He walked out after Tinia Atmaja, and curiously asked, "Where is Young Miss?"

"Elvy? He said he wasn't hungry, and went upstairs." Tinia Atmaja explained as she pointed to the empty seat of Angkara Elvira. "Let's eat! Look, we even prepare your rice and chopsticks, you can use chopsticks, right?"

"Yes, although I'm not used to it, I can." Ardian Prasetya turned his gaze to the table, the side dish was still very complete. Ardian Prasetya no longer saw any reason to eat leftovers, after Angkara Elvira left. Besides, it seems that Tinia Atmaja is acting strange again tonight, but that doesn't really matter.

Tinia Atmaja smiled wickedly as she saw Ardian Prasetya take the chopsticks, and put a piece of vegetables on top of her rice. Tinia Atmaja held the victory fist under the table, very pleased as Ardian Prasetya stuffed the entire meal into her mouth.

"Yep, succeeded! Elvira you have to thank me. I have your revenge! Now Ardian Prasetya is eating all your saliva!" Tinia Atmaja could not stop grinning as she saw her revenge plan play out so well. With this he should be able to replace Angkara Elvira who ate Ardian Prasetya's saliva yesterday and made it break even.

"Hey, eat slowly, you'll strangle yourself if it's like that. Here, drink it," said Tinia Atmaja, pushing a bottle of orange juice into the mouth of Ardian Prasetya.

"Ehm? Uh, Yeah, thanks?" Ardian Prasetya did feel a slight hiccup after hearing the words of Tinia Atmaja. He swallowed it when he realized something was wrong. "Wait, this juice...."

"Oh, it's not mine, take it easy." Hearing Tinia's explanation, Adrian felt a little calm, at least until the girl finished her speech. "Not mine, but Elvira's. He didn't finish it, and there was too much left to throw away" Tinia Atmaja said as she stared innocently at Ardian Prasetya. "You don't mind, do you? You're not gonna throw up in the toilet, are you?"

Ardian Prasetya replied with a blank look. Tinia Atmaja obviously did it on purpose, but this was nothing to Ardian Prasetya. There was a time in the primitive forest when all of his metals had been used for weapons, leaving only a set of tools for him and his group to share. His mentality had long viewed sharing saliva as a very trivial thing.

The saliva of a beautiful girl, however, was a different matter, not everyone experienced such a thing. Angkara Elvira could spit into the bowl and strange people like Roland Pratama would probably lick it without hesitation. "It's okay, I'm not an olfactophilia."

Tinia Atmaja was a little disappointed by Ardian Prasetya's lack of reaction, but different worries pressured him, didn't she also drink from the bottle earlier? Tinia Atmaja could only faintly blush at the thought of it.

Although, Angkara Elvira drank it after she did. So, it shouldn't count as an indirect kiss, right? Isn't that how it works? His saliva should not be there anymore. Tinia Atmaja thought as she tried to calm herself down. Yeah, it should be.

"Hey, Ardian, I'm thirsty. Get me some water." Tinia Atmaja ordered. Honestly, the food is a bit salty.

"Do it yourself." Ardian Prasetya refused without even looking up from his food. Tinia Atmaja coughed. Then, with a grin he said, "Creasingly unwilling? Men's tissue."
