Next morning.
Lily who had just woken up walked towards the bathroom in the back. While passing through the kitchen, he saw the figure of Arthur who was busy preparing materials. Rubbing her eyes, the little girl asked.
“Arthur, what are you doing?”
“Oh? Good morning, Lily. I want to make something out of the yellow pumpkin people gave me yesterday. Ye know? Although relaxed, sometimes I feel bored and want to do something.”
“Arthur, what do you want to do?” ask Lily with sparkling eyes.
“Kue mud.”
“Eh?”
Hearing Arthur's words, Lisa was confused.
“Mud cake is a traditional cake from a country, a type of wet cake. Actually, the cake was introduced by invaders. The cake was inspired by pasteis de nata, a type of cake made from custard, which is a mixture of milk and yellow.
It's just that, the recipe of the dough is tailored to the ingredients that exist and are often found in place. As time progressed, the material was converted from potatoes into several other ingredients. For example, what I want to make, I change into a yellow pumpkin.
Uh? Is that confusing? Go to the bathroom, do not forget to wash your face and brush your teeth. Just wait, later you can see and feel it yourself.”
“Ya.”
Lily who initially looked absentminded nodded obediently. He then immediately went to the bathroom. After all, the girl herself did not know what was happening in her kingdom, so discussing the history in various countries of the other world clearly made her even more confused.
The ingredients needed are steamed yellow pumpkin, chicken eggs, wheat flour, sugar, melted margarine, coconut milk, and some raisins for decoration on it.
How to make it, first beat the egg with sugar until it dissolves with whiskey. After that put the yellow pumpkin and coconut milk, then stir well. Add the flour, stir slowly. Enter liquid margarine, stir the ratas.
Heat up the kuae mold, smear it with a little margarine. Pour dough up to ¾ parts mold. When it is half-baked, give raisins on it. Cover the mold and bake the mud cake until cooked.
After it is mature, just lift and serve.
When the mud cake was ripe, for some time, Lily had been sitting on a chair with two small legs that kept swinging. The little girl looked towards Arthur with an excited expression.
“Wait a minute, it's still hot. Eat when warm, ok?”
“Ya.” Lily nodded obediently. He then tilted his head. “Arthur, how about Joi?”
“Oh, Joe won't be back until next week. Seem to run in the woods, or at least like that? I really don't know his way of thinking.”
Arthur shrugged his shoulders. Hearing the young man's words, Lily also nodded lightly. The two ate together later. I really didn't think much about Jotaro because they were sure that he would be okay.

In the afternoon.
“Arthur, Arthur .. I'm bored.”
Sitting quietly on the back porch of the house, Lily looked at Arthur. They really just relax, eat, and drink something all day. As a ‘little boy’, the girl of course feels uncomfortable.
“Then, what do you want to play, Lily?”
“Mancing?” Lily tilted her head.
Arthur's stunned. Recalling the dark experience with the empty bucket, the young man felt reluctant to fish. Come to think of it, he was usually out of luck when fishing. Like when in the river, he was almost unlucky. When in the lake, the fish he caught was actually bitten in half by a water ghost.
Arthur felt that it was better to relax back and forth like a salt fish than to fish and feel depressed when he came home.
“Isn't fishing boring too? Is there anything else you want?”
“Then, what will we do, Arthur?”
“How about playing while learning to control your strength?”
“Controlling power?” Lily looked confused.
Seeing the confused Lily, the young man got up. He then walked towards the courtyard. The young man then used a simple fireball trick. After that, he then said.
“This way is actually simple. Merely, what I want is the way you control this fire. Examples like this.”
A fireball the size of a volleyball floating above Arthur's index finger suddenly became smaller. After that, it changed in the opposite way, becoming bigger. The young man then flicked his finger, one large fireball instantly turned into four small-sized fireballs. Once again flicking a finger, the fireball instantly disappeared.
“As you know. This is a qi energy control exercise with a simple trick. You have extremely strong fire-type qi energy and a lot of capacity. But you can't control it at all.
You usually use an umbrella, then directly swing to the enemy, burning the enemy in a random way. Such a thing is usually less effective to fight against an enemy with equal strength. So you have to learn it, ok?”
“Ya.”
Hearing Arthur's explanation, Lily nodded with a serious expression. Instead of looking resolute, she looked so cute. Seems pretty interested in playing around with that sort of thing.
After simple guidance and a layover, Arthur lets Lily start practicing. He himself sat on the terrace while enjoying a relaxing time. Really live comfortably. Not thinking about what needs to be done, not lacking in money, and life is really comfortable.
Slowly but surely, time passed.
In the evening, Arthur and Lily have dinner together. After dinner, they sat down for a while.
Arthur grabbed the girl while stroking her head. He told her some stories. You could say, telling a fairy tale before going to bed is like what parents usually do.
After Lily falls asleep, Arthur takes her to his room. Cover it with a blanket, then go to her own room. Just about to lie down, the young man was shocked when he got the message from his badge.
‘Can't they see the time? If they didn't do it this afternoon, they should have called me tomorrow!’
Despite complaining in his heart, Arthur still received advice from his superiors. When reading the information provided, the young man's eyes blinked.
“Hah?! Division 9? I don't know them at all, do I? Why did they call me? Request help?”
After carefully reading the information, Arthur finally understood. Actually, Division 9 asked Arthur to help them on a mission. He contacted her for some reason. The main reason was their not-too-distant location, and the enemies one would encounter were the types of monsters, which Arthur was targeting.
Although he was a little confused at first, the young man finally chose to leave after giving it some thought. The reason is actually quite simple. He was feeling a bit bored, so hunting down some monsters to put in ‘refrigerator’ was not a bad choice. Moreover, he also felt quite curious about the other divisions.
According to the information, the case where a division consists of only a few people such as Division 6 led by Arima was rare. Usually, the number of other division members is quite a lot and has its own uniqueness. Therefore ...
Arthur plans to go see her with his own eyes.
