Chapter 248 - Potential Targets (2/2)

”And Rei is just too, hot.” Nik concluded his reasoning while Shinobu kept gazing at him for a full minute before Mitsuri finally stood up and hugged Shinobu from behind, an action that surprised Nik and Shinobu alike. But her words instantly made Shinobu elbow right into her cleavage with a vein popped out of her temple.

”Don't worry, Shinobu! Even if we all are cuter and hotter than you, I will never push you- OOF!”

Kneeling down with her arms hugging her bosom, Mitsuri gazed at Shinobu with a bitter expression. But that was just the start of it for the moment her pale-green gaze met Shinobu's violet one, the Pillar of Insect smiled menacingly. A smile that Nik had seen on a particular demon in Shinobu's memories.

”Ara… Are you maybe… calling me ugly? Surely, that couldn't be what you are implying, right?”

Mitsuri's expression froze as all her indignation extinguished in just a mere moment.

”Ah… no… Why would I?”

”I apologize then,” Mitsuri could swear that she saw a shadow of a demon receding back into Shinobu's body as the petite girl continued, ”Now… is there going to be that event where the entire state is covered with demons or not?”

She faced Nik, who looked a little bit ponderous while his free hand flew in motion when a pained Mitsuri crawled to Nik. Seein her head getting petted so gently made Shinobu realize that she had to stop giving others a chance to come into Nik's contact at her own expense.

”I'll have to check it with my… colleague.”

Nik spoke softly and then finally felt something strange. Extremely so.

The entire room was filled with light, unlike the place where Shizuka and Yuriko are staying at.

Gazing at Nezuko's head, Nik finally wondered out loud.

”This is quite strange.”
