Liam nodded and dashed through the window with the bedsheets, leaving Luke and Nash behind. Nash then fell silent and activated his invisibility; shortly after, the door burst open, revealing Valerie.
"Good day, Smiley!"
Luke returned her greeting with a friendly smile.
"Good morning to you, as well, Val."
Valerie smiled and looked around the room, then looked around with a shocked expression.
"Wow, Smiley! You did an excellent job cleaning this room!"
"Haha, yes, I did. It was, however, quite difficult to clean."
"But you did great in the end, so everything is fine!"
Luke secretly glared at Valerie. He wants to smack her head so badly, but he has to stop himself every time he is about to do so. Luke only sighed internally but flinched when a plate of cooked pork was suddenly placed in front of his nose. Luke then turned to look at Valerie, who was holding the plate.
"This is for you, Smiley!"
"For... Me?"
"Yup! You worked hard, and you deserve to be rewarded!"
Valerie pushed the plate towards Luke, and he accepted it. Luke then stared at the plate for a few moments. He's not sure why, but an awful thought occurred to him. Maybe it is because he just woke up. The horrible thought was too much for his mind to bear, so he spoke his thoughts aloud while staring directly at the cooked pork on the plate.
"Is this... Songbird?"
The entire room fell silent. After that, no one dared to say anything.
Luke then swallowed. Perhaps he should not have said that. Luke flinched when he heard someone inside his head laughing. It is the voice he hasn't heard for a long time, Joe.
• HAHAHAHA! That's ridiculous! Hahaha! My stomach—! BWAHAHAHA!
Luke frowned and pursed his lips. He then clenched his fists around the plate.
'What's so funny?'
Joe, on the other hand, continued to laugh without responding to Luke. Luke simply frowned and looked at Valerie, who was still standing motionless.
"Val I..."
Smiley, you're such a moron."
"Ha?"
Luke came to a halt in disbelief while looking at Valerie with shock. Valerie simply sighed and crossed her arms.
"How could I ever cook my adored Songbird? I adore that adorable piglet! Seriously, you should've known that by now!"
Luke smirked and laughed through his nose.
"Ha. Ha. Ha... Right, my mistake, I apologize."
'This is just my second day here, how should I know?'
Luke simply sighed and let Valerie grab his arm and drag him outside. The bright rays and glittering ocean could be seen in the distance once they were outside. It was so bright that Luke had to squint his eyes or he'd go blind.
• Hey, Dad! The ocean is looking fantastic right now!
Luke simply frowned and blinked his eyes several times. He sighed in relief after his eyes adjusted to the light. He then looked around at the scenery. As Nash said, it is indeed beautiful... Not until Paris' face appeared inches away from him.
"Hey, newcomer, are you having a leisure day or something?"
Luke paused his frowning and smiled at Paris.
