Chapter 217 - Luring the loli (1/2)

After that long winded explanation Kenichi drank a glass of water only to find Chikage still looking at him while still holding onto the empty plate which earlier had a piece of pumpkin pie in it.

”Is there something else you want to know Chikage!?” asked Kenichi

”Yes! Is there any benefits from chocolate or candies?” asked Chikage with a twinkle on her eyes.

Kenichi smiled and nodded her head ”Chocolate is a favorite sweet treat that also has health benefits. It contains flavonoids, which act as antioxidants. Antioxidants protect the body from aging caused by free radicals, which can cause damage that leads to heart disease.

While chocolate contains ingredients beneficial to health, it does not mean you should overeat chocolate. Chocolate bars and candies are often high in fat, sugar and calories. Moderation is always the key and dark chocolate conveys more benefits than milk chocolate!

Sweets and fats can contribute to optimum health due to the health promoting phytochemicals they may contain – many of which are still being identified”

Hearing that explanation Chikage smiled again and said ”Thank you” after which she directly moved towards the deserts table and started eating everyone of them one after another with a smile on his face.

”Man! That Mikumo Kushinada is really something. She forced such a young child to show no emotions on her face” said Kenichi as he started walking back to the table where his girls were sitting.

While moving towards his table he saw a lady wearing a red kimono that is knee length with slit up the side it is decorated with a light floral pattern. She pair's a obi that is light colored with polka dot's, sock and sandal's with the kimono. Her physical appearance is that of a woman around Shigure's age her black hair were tied up with only the fringe and bang's loose.

”I have seen her somewhere but where!? Ahh.... can't remember her at all!” thought Kenichi to himself as he walked away towards the table.

(A.N - Who can guess who this women is!?)

During the banquet, in the shadows of the night.

”Man, why did we end up with patrol duty?” yawned a guard as he and his partner were patrolling the grounds.

”Master Fortuna expects us to be vigilant” lectured the other, ”Otherwise the captain of the guard might get angry.”

”Who's going to come at this time at this place? We are missing out on all the food” complained the first one.

Just as they passed by a rock, a shadow darted right past them.

”Stupid fools,” muttered Natsu, in his Hermit gear. He darted from the shadows to shadows, getting closer to his main objective.

”Hey you!” shouted a voice.

”Ahahaha, look what we have here?” chuckled another guard, this one bigger than the other two while wielding a trident.

Natsu's eyes narrowed as he focused, knowing this one was stronger. As the guard spun his trident while threatening to chop Natsu into pieces, Natsu heard a familiar voice.

”Axe Kick.”
