Karl was still sleeping in the couch when he heard a knock on the door which awoken him from his slumber. He then got up and answered the door.

"Yo! Good Morning." a man with spiky white hair said.

"Ohh you're the guy who fought against Mortred!" Karl said.

"Yes I am that guy. My name is Hatake Kakashi. Sorry for what happened the other day." Kakashi apologize as he c.a.r.e.s.sed the back of his head with his hand.

"Nono it was our fault. We should be the one apologising to you" Karl said as he also c.a.r.e.s.sed the back of his head.

"Anyways. Hokage-sama ordered me to inform you about the meeting in this afternoon." Kakashi said as he hand out a scroll.

" Everything should be written here. And don't worry about the meeting place. I will pick you guys up when it's time." Kakashi said.

Karl accepted the scroll. "Thank you for informing us"

"No problem. Now I must take my leave. I had my students waiting for me" Kakashi said.

Karl nodded and then Kakashi left.

'What is the meeting for? I should've asked' Karl thought. 'Well anyways. Time to wake her up. We still need to do some stuffs' Karl thought as he walked upstairs and did just that.

6 hours later.....

=≠=≈=≠=≈=≠=≈=≠=≈=≠=≈=≠=≈=≠=

"Waaaaa this stuffs are heavy!! You should've let me used my dimensional inventory!!" Mortred said as she sat on the sofa.

"Ohh come on don't be such a baby. I know you have experienced picking up much heavier stuffs before" Karl said as he brought some stuffs into the kitchen.

"Why do we have so many ingredients? who's going to cook it?" Mortred asked.

"Me ofcourse"

"You can cook?" Mortred was shocked.

Karl sighed. "what's with that expression? Is it really surprising that I can cook?" Karl asked.

Mortred just nodded.

"I have travelled our world for 5000 years. In order for me to not starve during my journeys, I learnt how to cook various things" Karl said almost bragging.

"Eh~?" Mortred said still had her doubts.

Karl sighed. "Then I'll just prove it right? Wait for a bit I'll make something" Karl said as he went upstairs with few bags. After sometime, he went downstairs with his clothes changed now. He was wearing normal house clothes while holding an apron in his hand.

'He's really serious about this' Mortred thought.

Karl just went to the kitchen and wear the apron and started cooking. Mortred just looked at him cooking but she just can't understand what he is doing with those ingredients. All of her life, she only eats fruits from trees considering she live in a mountain. Sometimes, other member of the veil sisters would visit her with few unique foods with them. She is the youngest in the group so other members take care of her. After 10 minutes of watching Karl cook, her patience ran out.

"Does cooking something takes this long??" She asked.

"If you want something decent then 20-30 minutes is just natural" Karl just said still doing his thing.

"20-30?? I could find a whole basket of fruits in that time!!" She yelled.

Karl sighed. "If you don't want the food then I'll eat them all by myself" Karl said to her.

Mortred then pouted.

'She's really handful... like a teenager' Karl thought.

"Please wait just a little bit more okay?" Karl said as she looked at her.

Mortred saw his sincere eyes and just couldn't argue so she just nodded and waited for the food. Aftet some more minutes, the food was done.

"Yaayy!!"Mortred celebrated like a kid.

Karl just couldn't help to smile at the cuteness he is seeing.

"Sit in the table.. I'll work as your waiter just for today" Karl said. He really felt like his a father now taking care of his hungry kids. He couldn't help but to smile more. Karl served the food and both of them ate.

Mortred was surprised at the quality of the food Karl made. It is sooooo much better than those fruits that she found back in her home. She enjoyed the food a lot. Her view on Karl raised a few level.

Karl finished his food first and washed the dishes in the kitchen.

"We should prepare now. Tsunade asked for our presence in a meeting." Karl said.

"Meeting?" Mortred asked.

"Yes."

"Hmmmkay" Mortred seemed uninterested in this meeting.

Karl just looked at her enjoying the food he made making him feel fuzzy insides.

'It's first time I cooked for someone.' Karl thought. As a cook, it is natural to be insecure whether his cooking is good or not when being fed to other people. Seeing the first food that he made is being eaten happily made him smile.

'Nice. She liked it' Karl thought. He continued cleaning the kitchen as he smiled.

*Door Bell sounds*

"Maybe it's Kakashi" Karl said as he went to the door and answered it. It was indeed Kakashi, whose amused at what he is seeing.

'Apron' Kakashi thought.

"Good Noon Kakashi. Is it time for the meeting?" He asked.

"Yes it is" Kakashi answered.

"Okay give us 5 minutes. We'll change clothes" Karl said.

"For the mean time, come inside. Have you eaten lunch?" Karl offered.

"Ahh not yet" Kakashi answered.

"Good timing. We had some food left over. Come have lunch"

"Nahh I'm fine. I'll grab something to eat later"

"Ohh come on don't be shy. Besides, it will just get cold later and it'll be a waste." Karl reasoned. Not really going to be a waste. He could just heat it up but he need reason.

Kakashi wanted to refuse but Karl seems to be persistent. If he won't accept it, they would just waste time arguing. Kakashi sighed inwardly. "Then I'll take the offer ." Kakashi said as he c.a.r.e.s.sed the back of his head. Kakashi then came in and looked around the Hokage's residence. It's his first time seeing it and he was surprised how big it was.

"Come in the table and sit down." Karl said to Kakashi.

"Okay" Kakashi did just that. Karl then placed plate and food in the table.

"Thank you" Kakashi said.

"Your welcome" Karl smiled.

Mortred had already finished eating and placed her plates at the sink. Karl then looked at Mortred's clothes.

"Mortred are you gonna change your clothes?" Karl asked.

"Nope" Mortred answered.

"But you've been wearing that clothes for 2 days now."

She tilted her head "What's wrong with it?" She asked.

"What do you mean 'what's wrong with it' ofcourse it's wrong your clothes will get dirty over time did you not know that?" Karl angrily said.

"But I've been wearing my armor for decades now but It didn't really get dirty" she said.

"That's an armor!! And a special one made by Veil Sisters. There's a different between the two!!" Karl yelled.

"I bought clothes for you earlier. You wear those and clean this one for the mean time" Karl suggested.

Mortred was confused. "I don't really get it but okay" Mortred went upstairs to change her clothes. While this was happening though, Kakashi is looking at their interaction. Karl and then saw his amused expression

"Sorry about all of that." Karl c.a.r.e.s.sed the back of his head.

"No no it's fine.". 'They are different when they fight. It's like they put all of their very being on the line' Kakashi thought. He then put his attention in the food that was placed on the table.

'Well I can't say no to free food' Kakash talked to himself as he took a bite. But what caught him off guard is how tasty the food is. It's very tasty he just started chowing at it. Karl just looked at him while smiling.

"You can have the rest in the pot and help yourself with the food. I'll go upstairs and change now" Karl said to him.

When he was about to head upstairs, Mortred came down with the same clothes she is wearing earlier.

"I thought you're going to change clothes?" Karl asked.

" I don't like all of them. It's hard to fight with those clothes." Mortred said.

"So are you gonna wear that clothes again?"

" Yes." She said.

Karl then sighed. "You're really a troublesome girl." Karl said. His orbs then appeared and float around Mortred. There was two blue orbs that is cleaning her clothes while the purple one dry her clothes. And just like that her clothes are cleaned.

"Wow!! You can do stuffs like these too?" Mortred asked as she looked at her fresh like clothes.

Karl sighed again. 'I felt like I'm a parent or something' He thought.

"I'll change clothes upstairs now." Karl said as he headed in the stairs.

"Okay" Mortred said as she sat in the couch. As she silently sat down there, he just saw Kakashi sitting in the table chowing the food.

"His food are great right?" She just said.

Kakashi then turned around assuming that the question is targeted to him.

"He cooked this?" Kakashi asked.

"Yes. I thought his just joking but he really can cook" Mortred smiled.

'He can clean clothes faster than a washer and cook food that is better than those from restaurants. He doesn't just have strong skills at fighting but his also good at everything' Kakashi thought. Now his in deep thought thinking about Karl. But he was stopped though when Karl already finished changing clothes and went downstairs with his mage clothes. Karl then looked at Mortred.

"You ready?" he asked.

"Yeah"

"We're ready now Kakashi. Shall we go?" He asked. Luckily Kakashi already finished eating so he stood up and put his plates at the sink and went to Karl and Mortred.

"Let's go" He said as he lead the way. Karl just nodded and followed behind him with Mortred in his side.

Few Hours Later...

=≠=≈=≠=≈=≠=≈=≠=≈=≠=≈=≠=≈=≠=

The meeting just ended and Karl and Mortred already went home. They felt really tired especially Mortred. The meeting had taken a long time but everything went smooth and there's really no complications

"Mahh!! They had so much questions" Mortred said in a annoyed expression.

"What do you expect? We revealed we came from different world. Of course they'd ask" Karl answered.

"Well at least we got something good from it. Tsunade placed us in a team after knowing that we'll stay here." Karl said.

" Yeah. We had finally a way to have fun" Mortred said. Karl just looked at her and smiled.

"I'll make dinner now. Wait for a bit" Karl said as he went upstairs to change clothes.

" Yay food!" Mortred cheered.

After all these days they've been together, Karl finally understood Mortred. She maybe act tough sometimes but all if it is just an act

The real she is kinda childish like a teenager in a rebellious stage. Even though she's kinda tough to handle and sometimes he would scold her, Karl doesn't really hate her presence at all. Karl smiled and went to the kitchen and made dinner for the two of them while Mortred watched him cook. If others would see them, they'd be like husband and wife bonding as a couple. Even though that's kinda impossible to happened considering Karl looks at Mortred like his daughter. Well we don't know what on the authors mind. Only time well tell.

They then started eating after Karl finished cooking They happily ate what Karl made while talking about somethings that happened in the past few days. After eating, Karl decided to sleep early for today so he bid farewell to Mortred and lay on the sofa and fell asleep. Mortred then also decided to sleep so she went upstairs. And just like that another day had ended with usual way of ending it.

Sleeping.
