Stolen Castle…

Aunder couldn't shake off the unnatural scorn Su Yang's "spirit" directed at Dire. She loved the munchkin during her living days. Maybe…his hallucinations were simply projecting his own frustrations?

Was he missing something? As an esper, Aunder could virtually breathe psychic energy. It helped him easily utilize chakra, his favorite source of power. On the contrary, Ki made him sick. It wasn't exactly a weakness; he simply didn't like it.

The man aimed a hand outside his main room's window.

Suddenly, smoke burst from his hand, followed by a brief, but intense blast of pain. The G.o.ds probably blocked Aunder from this source of power, not that it helped much. The man could access taint. h.e.l.l, if he wanted Venus dead, she'd probably be dead. All deities and beings of celestial were weak to taint. One would think creatures of evil and darkness would use that element exclusively to wipe out their enemies of the light, but an element that was too good to be true would of course be a double-edged sword. Taint was neither good nor evil, just itself. The manifestation of corruption.

Aunder allowed his mind to wonder back to the main object of his thoughts. Su Yang.

Abruptly she appeared in the mirror, staring at him with caring eyes. She smiled. Why did he hallucinate this? What was she trying to communicate from wherever the h.e.l.l her soul rested? No…that wasn't possible. This image formed from the mind, a result of him missing her presence. He pictured all of her expressions, from the times he p.i.s.sed her off, to when they ate together.

Really, Su Yang kicked his a.s.s into gear when he felt like lounging for the day. On the other hand, Aunder could never cross the line with the woman. He knew what he'd done. They started the fight really and in return, he soul-bonded them. Of course the man left their free will in tack. There would be no fun in getting stuck with mindless zombies. Somehow, all of that led to him saving countless lives and performing heroic deeds—all outside of his original plans. He supposed the Venus sisters were clever enough to influence him to do so. As servants of the "light," they couldn't stand by and allow people to die horribly before them. In a way, Aunder underestimated the sisters just as much as they underestimated him.

Su Yang's peaceful expression s.h.i.+fted to tears, then utter hatred, before she vanished. He saw Dire cheerfully approaching his room in the reflection.

Why did he hallucinate this? What was his brain trying to tell him? This couldn't be some mere jealousy from the beyond.

"Aunder-sensei, I found it," Dire said, pa.s.sing him a glowing box. He opened the medium-sized box and pulled out the read cloak inside.

"Try it on," Aunder instructed. "Your magic should make it work for adult form too."

"What is it?" Dire asked.

Aunder pulled the hood of his cloak up.

"A chance for you to be just like me." He grinned. "That's the Red Reaper's cloak. I'm not compatible with it, but it will surely provide you the protection needed from the dark G.o.ddess we're about to visit."

"It smells funny," Dire said.

Aunder sighed.

"Just put the d.a.m.n…" He shook his head. "You're going to be the death of me if I don't teach you the ways of grat.i.tude."

Dire stuck her tongue out at Aunder, gaining his comical snarl.

He cut the prompt off there, having read the ability already. The young man performed a j.a.panese-style bow to the old man.

"I know I was a pain in the a.s.s, but thank you for teaching me," Clyde said. The old man chuckled.

"Just make sure you properly use what I taught you, boy," he said. "Now that I've pa.s.sed on that cooking line, it is up to you to add to it." He turned. "Maybe someday, you'll start challenging Master Chefs. Don't embarra.s.s me."

He walked off. Clyde blinked as he noticed the plate in front of him. A meal prepared by Master Chef Hector…

The young man paid his respects, enjoying the super-incredible flavor profiles of the meat and seasoned rice, and sus.h.i.+.

"You're so lucky," a hotel staff girl said. "Not only do you get to eat his cooking without paying an arm or leg, but he taught you. Are you related? Do you know him? Are you single?"

Clyde waved away the staff girl's comments.

"He probably saw a part of himself in me." He shrugged and finished the meal.

"Well, let's see, who do I make the bill out to—hey!"

Clyde was already back in the front lobby, not in the mood to deal with some jealous clerk. Alice anime-dove into him, flushed.

"Clllllyyydeee." She giggled. "Let's make babies right here."

Roaming hotel staff blushed, sighed, shook their heads or a combination of the three.

He eyed the chocolates on the table. Of course. Alcohol-spiked chocolates. And Alice actually got drunk from them.

"I'll take her to the bath," Tear said as she emerged from a hall. "Care to join us?"

"I've got nothing better to do," Clyde said truthfully. A butler, seeming to be in his twenties, glared daggers at the young man. Clyde ignored him. After spending an hour or so with his ma.s.sive b.o.n.e.r swinging and smacking for training, then brutally trained for another set of hours by a manic master chef, he needed a break.

He almost fell asleep in the relaxing bath. It was only by luck that he caught Detective Tetra in the front room by herself later that night. Dressed in a black night gown and a robe with matching slippers, her presence brightened the room, even with the lights on the lowest setting, allowing the moon to do most of the illumination. Long black hair, hazel-colored eyes, pointy ears, and Yuki-level b.r.e.a.s.t.s, the dark elf seemed lonely.

"Can't sleep?" Clyde said, taking a seat on the couch next to her. He made sure to leave enough of a gap as to not invade the dark elf's personal bubble. She moved closer to him anyway, gla.s.s of scotch in her hand. He knew that because of the bottle on the table in front of her. To think this world imported drinks from Earth and didn't know it.

"I'm just thinking about my homeland," Tetra said.

Clyde nodded.

"Messalay. You said you weren't born there."

Tetra eyed him.

"I was born in Royiko. Nation's seat of Yaponiya. What about you?"

"You know I'm not from this world," Clyde said. "Honestly, some things here are the same, but a lot of it…well—it's different." He couldn't exactly tell the woman that Satovia was created by a G.o.d that loved anime.

"Do you…want to go back?" Tetra said.

"At first, I did," Clyde told her. "Everything was foreign, but overtime, I came to love it. So to answer your question, no."

Tetra laid her head on his shoulder.

"Good. You'd truly be missed. You're a unique individual Clyde, housing knowledge and customs of another plane of existence. And you're G.o.dd.a.m.n hilarious." She chuckled. "Natalia told me how that training went."

"Oh G.o.d," Clyde said, spiraling the dark elf into laughter. He grinned, making a mental note to scold the loli later. He could almost see an image of her smirking evilly at him. "Can you believe that it actually works."

"I sure can," Tetra said as she righted herself.

The two talked a while longer. Somehow Clyde managed to steer the conversation onto food. He convinced the dark elf to let him prepare her a late-night snack.

The hotel staff didn't mind allowing the young man to put the Soul Heart cooking style to use as long as he made enough for the entire graveyard s.h.i.+ft. Only six people. They were all impressed, especially Tetra. She believed him to be a spoiled man, letting Yuki do all the cooking. And sure while her food still beat his, it was surprisingly tasty.

[You earned 10 cooking points!]

[Congratulations, your cooking has risen to level 26!]

[Quest completed. Road Trip Stage 2! Bonus EXP awarded for blowing her away with witnesses! Well done!]

[You've jumped to level 145! Stats increased! You can now command your food monsters to explode onto unsuspecting enemies.]

[Your relations.h.i.+p with Tetra has increased to Friend- Closer level 7.]

A double increase in level! Nice, he thought.

After another hour of chatting, Clyde and Tetra hugged in the middle of the hall, but instead of parting ways, the young man's erected tower sparked something within the dark elf. A light kiss exploded into pa.s.sion. She pulled him into her room. The feeling of large b.r.e.a.s.t.s, tight and wetness, and l.u.s.t brought the duo closer to each other.

He pulled out in time.

"You probably wouldn't believe me if I told you that it was my first time," Tetra said.

"What? Really?" Clyde said.

"I normally work maybe twenty-hour days," she said. "Relaxing and time off come to others easier than it does me. My friend, Ling, complains about it all the time." Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"You seemed quite relaxed when I joined you on the sofa," Clyde said.

"It felt strange," Tetra said. "No papers, no cases, no interviews or making arrests. I needed the scotch to calm my nerves. When you joined me for a conversation…well, I was quite happy. My friends sometimes joke about me being unapproachable. Deep down, I thought it was true."

Clyde eyed the woman with a new respect.

"You're not unapproachable," he said. "Although…some people can get intimidated by your beauty."

Tetra blinked then laughed.

"Every woman likes to be told their beautiful. It's mostly a human thing, but when it rubs off, there's no going back." She kissed Clyde. "Thank you."

A round of intense s.e.x later, Clyde found himself in the bath. Here's to hoping he could improve himself for day two.

He opened his hotel room door via keycard, slipping into the bed. His fiancées were in their own rooms, knowing d.a.m.n well that the bed wouldn't hold them all. The fancy rooms appeased their anger. All thanks to Tear's good tastes in hotels.

Wait…someone was in his bed asleep. He pulled back to see Yuki's sleeping face. Clyde shrugged as he crawled into the blankets. The demoness immediately cuddled into him. In fact, she tossed her leg over the young man, triggering the erection.

Miraculous libido and high endurance. The next morning began exactly as one would expect. Wild s.e.x with Yuki. At least he didn't forget to pull out.
