Chapter 239 - Shinobu- The Meanie! (1/2)

”Oh... this looks like dishes actually meant for humans.” With sun right above their heads, a dark shadow seemed to have hidden the upper region of Shinobu's face as her exposed cold smile sent shivers down the already quivering Mitsuri while Obanai had long receded into the sidelines due to Mitsuri's arrival, allowing Nik to happily interact with the two of them without any interruption.

”What's going on, Mitsuri?”

Shinobu tilted her head slightly, the locks of her hair gliding down her face as Shinobu's glimmering eyes made Mitsuri sweat even quicker.

”I- I- I-” Clearly rattled, Mitsuri's teeth clacked against each other while she gripped on her thighs and trying to avert her gaze, but Shinobu's absolutely scary eyes petrified Mitsuri gloriously.

”You? What? Did you maybe think that I am not a human?” This time, even Nik scooched a little outwards, unwilling to earn the ire of the mindbogglingly crazy Shinobu as Mitsuri gulped, her green eyes finally shifting towards Nik, desperate for his help.

”Or maybe...” The silent rage hidden within Shinobu's words made both of them shiver into a stop, ”Did you think that I am not qualified to eat what humans do...”

”It should be one of the two things, right?”

Shinobu whispered, the delicious dishes presented in front of them failed to suppress Shinobu's indignation as her large round pupils bore into Mitsuri's large bosom, this time properly covered under her chef's uniform.

Finally, a Mitsuri also burst into a furious ball of indignation, ”It was all your fault!!”

By now, the busy villagers couldn't care less about the drama happening around the table, but that didn't mean that Shinobu didn't. Mitsuri finally took a deep breath to gather her bearings before looking straight into Shinobu's eyes while her cheeks inflating into a furious pout while her eyes widened in righteous rage.

She was going to curse!

”Shinobu, you are a meanie!”

”Eh?”

This time, everybody stopped and looked at the kind pinkette that only knew how to smile. With two pearly globules of tears forming around the corner of her eyes, Mitsuri's cheeks remained flared, ”Yesh, you are a meanie!”

Mitsuri repeated herself with glaring indignation as Nik couldn't help but widen his eyes and catch an eyeful of the scene. No matter how he looked, he simply got positive vibes from Mitsuri even when she was definitely angry.

”You don't get it, you are the one who served me the soup of eyeballs, remember?”

Shinobu regained herself from the stupor. Mitsuri was no chiseled hung who could attract her attention and make Shinobu speechless through her beauty. Nik could achieve that feat, but not Mitsuri.

”That's why I said! You are a meanie! Bleh!”

As if to justify her act, Mitsuri finally took it up a notch and stuck her tongue out while slamming her palms on the table rather lightly. A soft tap.

”Didn't you feed me goat's foot?”

Shinobu pursued. This wasn't even funny!

”But you are the meanie! Always teasing me! I don't like it!”

Mitsuri continued herself, finally unable to keep her cheeks inflated all the time, but finally, a serious expression took over her face as Shinobu groaned.

”If you have some problem, then speak! Why would you even feed me all those things? Did I ever poison you?”

Shinobu countered while Mitsuri bit her lips and floundered.

”B-but... I don't like to fight...”

”So... you just tried new cooking techniques on Shinobu, no biggie~”

Nik couldn't help but snicker as Shinobu turned her glare towards Nik, ”You, hush!”

”And you,” Shinobu eyes Mitsuri with a hard expression, ”I respected you and if I took my teasing to an inappropriate level, then I apologize.

But you know me enough that I will never use my professional expertise on you for inappropriate matters. I guess I took you for something else.”

Shinobu huffed and then looked at Nik, ”Come with me!”

Looking back at Mitsuri, Nik sighed softly and stood up, but not before grabbing a plate for himself and then tapping on the top of Mitsuri's head, bringing out of her dazed stupor. Her face spoke that she was almost ready to burst into tears as she gazed at Nik with an apologetic expression.

”I'm not going to lie, Mitsuri, as much as the bowl of eyes projected an evil finesse, maybe, you two should talk it out...

Shinobu likes you, after all, it is a fit of momentary anger.

All of this will pass.”

”Nik... I- I'm the *hic* worst...”

Mitsuri lowered her head and before Nik could part with a few words of wisdom to take advantage of the vulnerable Mitsuri, he was pulled back an angry Shinobu, making Mitsuri slightly desperate as Nik flashed a smile before covering Mitsuri with his Pheromones to help her calm down.
