Cale is currently sleeping on Luke, Beelzebub, and Leviathan's room. He was sleeping peacefully, not until he tossed around and noticed someone's presence. 

“Did I wake you up?”

Cale instantly opened his eyes and woke up, seeing a familiar sight.

It's scary how Barbatos' smile was not so different from Ron.

“What's with the surprised look?”

Cale looked around and noticed he was the only one in the room. It could be the others are in the other room, where he was staying.

‘The pillow fight must've worn them out.’

“The others?”

“They're still asleep.”

“What time is it?”

“It's 10 am.”

Cale just sigh and got up. He was assigned to cook breakfast or maybe lunch, since it's almost noon.

Thanks to the Vitality of the Heart, even though he lacks sleep, he's perfectly fine.

[ Royal Kitchen]

Cale looked around the kitchen.

With just a glance, Cale knew the kitchen design was modern; sleek and minimalist design, with clean lines and a focus on functionality.

It is equipped with the latest appliances, sleek cabinetry, and high-end finishes that create an inviting atmosphere for cooking and entertaining.

The kitchen also boasts stylish design elements such as clean lines, minimalist hardware, and bold accents.

Cale instantly knew that these details are often achieved through the use of materials like stainless steel, glass, and natural stone.

He expected the design to be renaissance just like the kitchen of the House of Lamentations, but it was actually a modern one.

This is pretty much an advantage of him, since modern equipments are easier to use than renaissance ones.

With that, Cale tied his hair and wore an apron. He pull up his sleeves and wash his hands before touching the utensils.

Cale prepared the ingredients and the utensils and equipments he needed.

“Cale, what are you planning to serve them?”

Barbatos asked.

“I'll be serving 5 different dishes. I want you to be my assistant, Barbatos.”

[Dining Hall]

The people gathered in the dining hall had haggard faces or eye bags on their eyes. The cause of that was a pillow fight.

The pillow fight kept going until it was nearly dawn, which explains the tired look on their faces.

Asmodeus let out a deep sigh.
