Chapter 274 - Departure (2/2)

In essence, Nik was a simple man. If he finds a welcoming snatch, he will definitely smash it!

In Kanao's vision, she could easily see past Nik's skin and observe the minuscule movements in Nik's muscles and his heartbeat. Either Nik happened to be an amazing liar, or he was being completely honest.

”I... will need some time.”

Kanao stammered, standing up while pulling the thin sheet alongside.

”Sure,” Nik grinned, ”Be sure to meet me after breakfast. I will be leaving with Elizabeth for a few days and I wouldn't want to miss out on the training today.”

Kanao almost staggered down! They just... they had just committed an unholy act and Nik was acting too shamelessly!

***

The breakfast was quite ordinary. Instead of sharing a huge meal with everyone, Nik sat down with Shinobu, Elizabeth, and Saeko. Mitsuri also had to commence her daily schedule once again. After all, she was the main pillar in the cooking department for the entire demon-slayer force. Instead of sharing a modern meal, Nik happily chewed on bread and drank tea.

”So, JoJo is your son, that's a surprise!”

Saeko mumbled after finishing her bite. She had met the muscular comedian when he trained under Elizabeth's method and his nature was impactful enough to leave a deep impression on her.

”Wait, how old is your son?” Shinobu tilted her head and inquired with a smile.

Not caring to answer the questions of her 'fellow devourer', Elizabeth placed the cup down and looked towards Nik.

”When should we leave?”

”How does two hours sound?” Nik inquired with a smile.

Elizabeth nodded and stood up before gazing at Shinobu with a slight smile, ”I am old enough to be your grandmother and still beautiful enough to pass as your elder sister. Does this suffice?”

Exchanging a smile of her own, Shinobu narrowed her eyes. Elizabeth lasted longer than her last night and she is capable of making equivalent retorts. Nik's choice didn't disappoint her.

”Yes, elder sister.”

Observing the situation from sidelines, Saeko and Nik exchanged gazes before shrugging. Saeko didn't plan to cause any troubles for others as long as she got her usual lovin' while Nik never planned to stop himself from giving his care and attention to the girls.

Later, Nik finally managed to get all the remaining girls together. Alongside Elizabeth, Nik had planned to bring Nezuko with himself. The training with his girls itself was hard and exhausting. Instead of making any insensitive comments, Nik genuinely guided their training. As he had already observed, Rei was on the verge of breaking through to finally being able to achieve Continuous Focus Breathing Technique while Aoi and Saya were still making slow and gradual progress to get a hang of Breath of Water and Fire respectively.

This time, his spar with Kanao was more enlightening. With a staggering difference in the power of observation of his eyes alongside the tempering of his body and muscle memory based on his skill [Battle Arts], Nik's movements were more fluid. But his basic experience and skill in swordsmanship remained a far cry from Kanao's.

With his daily training completed, Nik left with Elizabeth and Nezuko under the hesitant gazes of the recently deflowered maiden.
