Chapter 102 - Truth (1/2)

It has already been a few hours and the group had finally reached their next destination.

Coconut Shade Oasis.

Unlike the rotten Mystic Palms Oasis, this particular resting spot sported lavishness that only a few willing merchants could afford. Of course, there are exceptions like Nik, who would go and take his pocket money by beating a few bandits, making his earnings composed of pure profits.

Once again, the group's thoughts were reaffirmed that looting is the best occupation of all. Especially, if a man-breaker like Nik is accompanying you.

During their encounter with the eighth desert bandit, Sokka had even shouted loudly— Charge!— while Yue laughed loudly and acted even more roguish than the burly bandit himself, making the poor guy prostate naked on the hot sand.

Ouch.

That time, Nik made a mental note to not that if he ever needed a torture department, he must definitely consult Yue.... and of course, Virya.

Virya's sense of afflicting pain... was too much. Even for Nik.

Sending a shard of glass than exploding it within the body while lacerating the organs from inside?

Sending a spear of ice through the butt and shredding the intestine?

Gauging the eyes balls with toothpick shaped ice. The word was— carving— but Nik didn't feel like correcting the murderous ball of cuteness and fluff.

On one thigh, Virya nodded after hearing much stuff about modern society while Sokka and Karna would of scoff at how farfetched these things sounded. While on another thigh, Pavāka simply leaned over Nik. Though a bit envious, she couldn't help but feel giddy when she was how much Virya seemed to be interested in Nik.

Of course, unlike the two bloody spirits, the group didn't know that he was an otherworldly horny teenager and only attributed his words to very distant dreams.

June, on the other hand, would in fact ask questions about many things, which would often match with Virya's question, making the silver-haired invisible spirit observe June with an appraising gaze.

But as they neared their destination, Sokka finally claimed something that actually made Nik a bit impressed by his dedication.

”Um... everyone... and that spirit you are talking to.” Sokka gave Nik a look, as if trying to find if there really was a spirit of Nik had just lost his head—, edge.

”Actually, Nina and I aren't in a relationship.” He looked at Nina, who had a clear look in her eyes and a beautiful smile. Seeing her, Sokka took a deep breath before gaining a bit of his old, suppressed courage.

”When I offered her to teach me about relationships and... well, you know... baby-making activities, Nina asked me to buy her out.

Ordinarily, it would have been impossible. Even Nina knew her request was a bit overboard. But... I kinda liked her company... and also had the money... sooo...”

Sokka dragged his words with a cheeky smile while rubbing the back of his head.

”Either way, what you saw between Nina and me was actually my training on how to talk with my girlfriend.

I apologise for both of our steads for all the inconvenience we caused.”

Before others could speak, especially, Katara, who looked like she wished to explode, Nina suddenly spoke out.

”If I had to say... it wasn't all Sokka's fault. And from him, I found out that it wasn't his money, but Nik's—”

Before she could complete, Karna finally had it enough and immediately stood up.

”Don't you dare...”

Pfft

Nina couldn't help but laugh out loud.

”You got me wrong. What I meant to say was, not only am I willing to teach Sokka the entire course, I am also willing to teach all the inexperienced ladies within the group.”

Then, as if she suddenly remembered something important, she gave Katara a mocking smile and licked her lips seductively.

”Ah! I forgot... we only have a single maiden left. All thanks to our tiger, there.”

”That's it!”

Katara exploded, and alongside, brought multiple tendrils of water, which was instantly stopped by Nik before anything permanent took place.

”Relax guys...”

Nik finally spoke up while looking towards Virya, who had an impassive expression on her face.

”Sokka? Why did you decide to speak up now? You know that you guys could have just pretended to break up, right?”

”It is part of the training. Honesty and Courage.”
