Ground Floor, Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.

Aurora was helping Theo arrange the dining table for them to eat. He had just finished their meal, and they were famished after waking up from their nap.

"I can't still imagine a ramen with the taste from the Kokoro Islands." Aurora said with an intrigued expression.

"I won't spoil you, but knowing you I'm sure you'll like it." Theo chuckled as he placed his and Aurora's bowl of ramen on the table.

"I'll see for myself." Aurora declared in defiance as her eyes shone in determination.

She wanted to see if her brother really knew her tastes.

Theo could only laugh as he saw her silly behavior.

They soon sat down at the dining table after they poured a treat for Mayia as well.

Aurora looked at the bowl in front of her and gulped as she smelled the amazing aroma coming from it.

Differently from the golden color broth of the miso ramen, this ramen had a red color broth. Instead of pork slices, there was a kind of meat that Aurora couldn't identify.

Without any more delay, Aurora picked up a spoon to taste the broth. And as soon as she placed the broth inside her mouth, she felt transported back to the Kokoro Islands. 

The taste was explosive and delicious which made Aurora unable to hold herself back and pick up the chopsticks to taste the noodles. And she was greeted with another explosion of flavors.

"This ramen is so delicious, Theo!" She only managed to say that as she devoured the ramen in front of her.

Theo let out a happy smile when he saw how much she liked it, he was really happy as her opinion mattered a lot to him.

It was only after seeing how much she liked it that he started eating as well. But differently from Aurora's reaction, Theo didn't express much emotion as he tasted the ramen. He quietly ate his portion as he made mental notes and critics of what he was tasting.

After tasting it, he noticed that the taste of the ramen as a whole wasn't exactly as he was expecting.

'A failure, huh? But I feel I'm close to the final recipe.' Theo sighed to himself afterward.

But although he deemed the ramen a failure, it was his professional chef's opinion, his personal opinion was that the ramen was extremely delicious. 

On one side he had to consider all kinds of technicalities, and on the other side, he just had to consider if he was happy as he ate the dish.

He deemed the two sides as equally important, but at the moment he was trying to increase his chef level, so he had to consider the technicalities with special care. But it didn't mean that he would stop trying to make the people happy with his food. This could be exemplified by the ramen he just cooked, although he didn't achieve the technical goal he intended, he still achieved the happiness of eating the dish.

In such a way, Theo and Aurora devoured more than one bowl of ramen until both of them were satisfied.

"Ahh, I'm so full!" Aurora exclaimed as she patted her belly.

"Me too!" Theo laughed.

The two of them laughed out loud as they patted their bloated bellies.

"How about we watch something as we digest this food?" Theo asked as he observed Sylph's drones picking up the dirty dishes to wash them.

"Sure!" Aurora readily agreed.

After the hearty meal she just had, she just wanted to lie down. So, the idea of watching something with her brother was particularly appealing.

A while later, the two siblings could be found watching a TV show down the hall from the dining room.

They didn't have to worry about the dirty dishes because Sylph would take of that for them.

"When we left, this place was filled with New Year decorations." Aurora commented as she jumped on the comfy couch.

"Yeah, Sylph must have cleaned and kept the decorations saved somewhere." Theo said as he looked for something for them to watch.

"How about we binge-watch an anime? It's been a long time since we did that." Aurora suggested as she watched her 

idea." Theo smiled as he opened one of the streaming services that they signed.

As it was a normal streaming service, the catalog of animes was minimal, and the same happened in every other streaming service. That's why Theo wanted to launch his anime-exclusive streaming service. With it, the public would have a much easier time finding an anime to watch.

But that was for another time because after searching for a while, Theo finally found an anime that made both of them interested.

It had 24 episodes and it was launched last year.

Just like that, the two of them started to watch the anime and they were absorbed by it.

The anime was a sci-fi comedy about a couple who had to go through all kinds of crazy and wholesome situations.

Theo and Aurora found it so funny that in certain moments they laughed so hard that tears came out of their eyes.

They were having so much fun watching it that they even noticed the passage of time, and it was only many hours later that they noticed that it was already 10 pm.

"Should we stop a little to have dinner?" Aurora asked as she looked at the cold weather outside through the glass windows of the room.

"Let's just order something, I don't want to cook anything." Theo shook his head.

"Hmm, I want a burger then." Aurora smiled as she also didn't want to stop their program to cook dinner.

Soon after, they told what they wanted to Sylph, and she would take care of it.

Without worrying about their dinner, they continued binge-watching the anime.

Sylph only took the time for them to watch one episode to come up with the orders they asked for. She took less than 30 minutes to finish everything.

Theo and Aurora weren't surprised anymore by how efficient she was, but they still thanked her with smiles when they saw the delicious food in front of them.

They ate their food as they continued watching the anime.

They didn't plan to stop any time soon, so the two siblings had the time of their lives just the two of them.

After spending so much time in a big group for the past two weeks, the two of them found themselves happy and content to be in company with each other.

They were more than siblings, they were best friends. 

That's why they loved spending time together.

And just like that, Theo and Aurora had a lovely night binge-watching an anime.

They had constant smiles on their faces as they had fun watching the anime, and their loud laughter reverberated through the empty house.

A lovely night indeed.
