Chapter 258 - One Last Meal Together (2/2)
As Tanjiro helped Nezuko pull out the plate that covered the dish that made Nezuko sniff around it loudly, Yuriko did the same with barely concealed anticipation and the moment she looked at the beautifully decorated meat with an enticing aroma, she couldn't help but gulp.
”Phew!”
Brian couldn't help but whistle as he gazed at the carefully crafted meat in front of him, too, a reaction once again supported by everyone at the table.
”Awesome work, Mitsuri.” Nik grinned and matched Mitsuri's pale green eyes that seemed to be wanting to know his true thoughts, ”This food rocks!”
Finally satisfied with Nik's response, Mitsuri, alongside others dug in. The main thing to note was that Inosuke happened to be quite different from Nik had thought previously. Aside from stealing the side dishes from Tanjiro's plate, his face seemed entirely different from a boar's, as painted by his actions.
Zenitsu, on the other hand, had grown over his attraction and fondness of the female kind and gazed at the clearly godly male specimen in the dinner table tonight- Brian.
What's more?
He is still single!
Of course, his saliva dripped. Not for the food, though, making Ray smile in satisfaction.
”Hey, what happened to you two after that… we could hear it outside.”
Elizabeth inquired in whisper while gazing at her two disciples, whose swordsmanship had now officially reached the ranks of a master.
”Nothing.”
Saeko snapped with an indignant groan, stuffing herself with the spicy porridge while Shigure nodded calmly.
They both were expressing the truth!
Nothing happened! They didn't cum, Nik didn't make a move and they both remained in need as their only source f outlet turned his back on them with a smug smile.
”Too bad…” Elizabeth smiled brilliantly and hearing the brunette's words, Shizuka smiled in tandem.
”It's official!” Yuriko suddenly spoke up with her eyes as brilliant as the sun and a wide smile on her face, ”I have finally tasted the best delicacy of my life!” Nezuko hummed in approval with an uncharacteristic flush on her face, a flush that could also be seen on Yuriko's cheeks.
Mitsuri smiled in victory while Saya couldn't help but feel weird by seeing her mom accompany someone other than her dad.
The dinner was as wholesome as it could be with Tanjiro cutting well-maintained pieces of meat for Nezuko while Brian shared his non-violent instances of the worlds he had been to, their traditions, foods and such. Of course, Ray did reaffirm her vow to bag a genuine dragon over the dinner table while Nik also described his first homeworld to the group. But judging from Shinobu's expression, he still seemed to have missed out a few details that simply weren't in the capacity of his knowledge.
As the dinner came to an end, with their partners already in the Harem or in the bed, the tri-fiends came to their usual meeting spot once again.
”Are you ready?”
Ray inquired with barely-veiled concern as he gazed at Nik and Brian. Truly, as a fortunate Earthling, Ray did not enjoy the act of killing. But from what he had gathered, bloodshed was already a part of Nik's and Brian's life. While Nik might not be an active murderer, his hands weren't unstained. And this indifference to bloodshed set the Temporal Fiend and the Incubus a little different from the Succubus.
Although Ray had already killed before, at least, in his case, they died out of too much happiness and pleasure coursing down the veins of his targets' cocks.
”You sound weird when you are nervous. Squeaky, even.”
Nik observed while Brian nodded.
”Hey, I am just worried… because you are the last of your lineage… and I have a thing for unique things.”
If Ray still felt nervous, he let nothing transpire on his face as his smile soon emerged back.
”Anyway, I hope that you gain a massive amount of World Source in this particular reaping session.” Ray shrugged as Nik smiled and looked at both of them.
”You both will stay here?”
Brian shook his head at Nik's inquiry.
”I'll leave tonight for my rank-up.” He replied calmly, ”A client at the verge of Rank-up posted a personal request to hire me as a protector.”
”Do you think that it's a trap?” Nik inquired with a frown.
”I doubt it.” Brian shook his head, ”The client is actually a host of a highly valuable and endangered lineage- The Scaled Behemoth. Not to mention that the rewards are enticing enough.”
Nik pondered for a moment before looking at Ray, ”Did you know that you could get personal requests aside from the missions placed in the guild bulletin?”
”Yeah. Sucks to be you, huh.”
Ray smiled and turned on his heels, ”I'll be staying here. Still need to complete the current main quest. Be sure to return by tomorrow morning.”
Nik nodded at Brian, making the temporal fiend speak up, ”I now have a reason to believe that even the basic information regarding the system given to you was tempered with… be sure to read the memory scrolls I sent you.”
Nik nodded with a heavy heart. This wasn't even funny anymore. Clearly, Nirdai had some personal motives or his situation wouldn't have been so weird.
