This is a direct continuation of my first book.
(Hazbin Hotel) The Radio Demon and The Doe-Eyed Killer
So if you haven't read that book yet, go read it because you will be VERY confused if you don't!
I know year 2020 has already come and gone for us...
(Gosh ever since I've figured out the method of writing Haikus, and especially through Jinlong's poetic bashing of Jayr Aikia all those many chapters ago...I have come to the realization that I LOVE WRITING HAIKU'S! 😁) ————————————————
A nine year old Aciano was singing a song that he name Spider Web as he slices the lotus roots with a kukri blade while his group of onlookers peer at him through the kitchen doorway in various stages of bewilderment.
He doesn't bother to acknowledge it as he poured the sliced lotus roots into the soup that's been boiling at a gradual heat with the lightly seared Hellish Boar ribs, that will continue cooking until tender under a low flame.
One thing he can admire about Modern technology is that when you want a fast process of cooking, you only need to turn the stove dial.
He's still humming that odd little song cuz the alternative would be humming to a different song...
The other song never ceases in drawing forth a dull buzzing sensation that reverberates through his whole body and into his soul. It also makes his head hurt so he refrained from that second song and choses to sing his newly created Spider Web song.
For his butterflies the songs affects on them are similar enough to a purring cat, and the affect is not unsurprisingly calming.
He waits for the soup to cook and gathers the bowls and sets the aside on the countertop. Then he taste tests the soup with a separate spoon and hums in approval.

He smiled before getting the large ladle and serving out portions of the lotus root/boar rib soup.
He turned around and smiled at the onlookers. "Well, are you going to just stand around or are we going to eat this before it gets cold?"
The inhabitants were immediately impressed by Aciano's culinary skills. Elizabeth hummed over the delicious flavor. "This is delicious Aciano!"
Demonia smiled and pointed her empty spoon at him. "I'm having you help out more in the kitchen young man."
Aciano shrunk down to his nine year old form and blushed with a soft smile.
Vlad smiled as he offhandedly offended a piece of boar rib meat to Grimm Fang. "You remembered how to cook this didn't you?"
"Yeah...it's weird. It makes my head hurt but my heart feel warm all at the same time."
Viviana and Caliban shared the briefest of looks before Viviana smiled at Aciano. "He made it for you didn't he?"
