Chapter 534 - Brad (2/2)
”Savages, still ripping us off!” It was the burly woman with her blonde hair fashioned into thin twin-tails with the end of her hair quite... bushy. her muscular frame covered by a surprising dress that seemed to fit her figure quite well while her manly face forming a deep scowl.
”I know right,” Nik turned around and smiled. His violet gaze matched with her dark brown orbs. Folding her thick arms over her... well, Nik couldn't call those godly pecs b.r.e.a.s.ts so, chest. ”Beat it, pretty boy! I have seen many of your kind, and killed em, too.” She practically snarled. A little amused Nik snickered. The simple removal of the communication barrier simply changed the situation 180 as Nik continued, ”And, you believe that a pretty boy could actually survive in Paradise?”
His inquiry seemed to have made every host in his vicinity recall the deadly situation they had been through. ”I know enough to recognize one just by a look.”
Shrugging and not continuing to persuade the woman into a conversation, Nik waved his hands and started moving. ”You just got blew off the third time...” Sky mused as her words made Nik's smile broaden, ”Yep... this shows that everyone here has a manner of resistance against the charm provided by my bloodline... isn't that great? I can speak and smile freely. Although... I wouldn't hate a woman at my side.”
”Even that muscular brute?” Lilith inquired.
”She's a woman, isn't she... and I could benefit from her diet, so it wouldn't be so bad,” Nik avoided contact with a growling elephant-sized dog and jogged a little, his speed equivalent to the stat points of 6 points while trying to contact Brian and Ray. Once again, the system chat function turned out to be disabled as he couldn't connect with the two.
With his slippers softly squeaking against the creamish floor as he quickened his pace to simply slide past the intersection of two slowly moving hosts, Nik chuckled while hearing the soft curses leaking through the mouths of the two middle-aged hosts.
”Passing through!” he shouted without care. Since this is his last hours within the system, he might as well stop pretending to be some mature and overly cautious host and screw around as much as he wants.
As Nik finally jumped over a bald dwarf. Truly, it was an easy jump but at the cost of being called a son of a bitch which Nik didn't mind as he finally stopped in a stupor, almost hitting into another 'wild' spirit. Like Nik, the youth wore a slightly bigger shirt. Much to his surprise, 'Go Mop' was printed on his shirt in English. A blonde youth, his hair almost platinum as his green eyes observed Nik's shirt. With both of their sandals/slippers coming to a screeching stop, the duo gazed at each other before smiling, completely unaware of how their own curves of lips matched each other.
”Nice shirt!” The youth commented, making Nik shrug and reply in kind, ”Go Mop, eh.”
”A scuba team of my country,” The man grinned, tracing the red print of over his sky blue t-shirt, ”The best one, if I may say so.”
”Nik,” the apostle offered his hand to the handsome lad. With his brows arching in slight surprise as he instantly shook Nik's hand firmly, ”Yin Brad... honestly, it is my lucky day to meet... normal host.”
'Yin Brad?' A little amused by the mixture of two cultures in a single name, Nik finally took his hand back and shrugged, ”We may as well be crazy, you know, relatively compared to them... isn't that right?” Nik smiled at the passing dwarf who only huffed in annoyance and didn't take any part in the conversation. ”See?” Nik smiled wryly.
Brad gazed at the back of the dwarf and snickered, ”I am gonna take a leap of faith and tell you a secret... the dwarven women are crazy~!” With his green eyes gazing at Nik for some kind of affirmation, Brad was pleasantly surprised at Nik's reply as he rubbed the bridge of his nose, ”Haven't slept with one... until now, I am more of a spirit guy, you know.”
”Wow... spirit, eh... our world is only infested with ghosts. Never came across a spirit... not that I can do anything about them since I can't even touch them...” Shrugging, Brad gestured to move as the duo kindred spirits started moving towards the slowly developing line of hosts that led to a new seating region with a slightly raised stage. ”How come you can touch ethereal existence like spirits? Some strange technique?” Brad inquired with a tone of curiosity and such familiarity that could fool the listener into believing that Nik and Brad might be the best of brothers in arms.
”Ooh, I can't tell you that,” Nik smiled with a grin, ”I feel that we haven't shared enough p.o.r.n to raise our level of friendship.”
”Ah, my bad,” Brad smiled in kind, ”Too bad, I don't film myself... I do have a stack in my device.”
”That's all we need in adventures,” Nik continued, making Brad chuckle. ”It would be true if I ever ventured into a barren world. Never had to use my treasures... but I still continue to stack them whenever I have the time. You know, data is power and all that stuff.”
It was easy enough to understand that even if their worlds were different, the culture was extremely similar, so the conversation about p.o.r.n and its various tags began smoothly as their loud voices soon became the source of annoyance to many hosts present in the line that led to the seating region.
”Can you two perverted brats pipe down?” At this time, an extremely familiar voice echoed, making Nik turn to his right with a wide smile as he waved his hand towards the silver-haired petite youth in a crop top and a pair of black denims that outlined his curvaceous lower body. ”Ray,” Nik pushed the host behind him a little making space for the succubus to enter the line as Brad looked at Ray with a hint of surprise and remorse, ”A male? Damn... this world is turning deceitful by second.”
”And you are?” Ray inquired as he stood between Nik and Brad. Out of the three, Nik was the tallest followed by the lanky Brad and petite Ray. ”Yin Brad... Ray, right? Nice to meet you... just to make our future conversation less awkward, let me state clearly that I am not interested in any form of male.”
”Good job genius,” Ray crossed his arms, ”You achieved a level of awkwardness that you didn't desire... truly, Brian is more tactful than you.”
”Speaking of Brian... where is he?” Nik looked around, still unable to locate Brian as Ray shrugged, ”We'll find him if he is here...”
”Hey, don't leave me out,” Brad groaned, ”Nobody likes being a third wheel.”
”Sure,” Nik shrugged, ”Brian is our step-dad. You know, he sometimes worries too much and even pays for our food.”
”I always thought he's more like an elder sibling,” Ray mused, ”Step-father works, too. The kind that doesn't sleep with us.”
”Ugh,” Brad and Nik groaned simultaneously.
