Unfortunately, Nero wasn't paying attention to Choko's current dazed expression, she was more interested in the slice of strawberry cake in front of her, Nero was almost drooling just by looking, how would she have time to pay attention to Choko?
*Cough*
Nero faked a cough to calm down, she didn't want to look inelegant, then she took a fork by the side of her plate and took a piece of the slice of the cake and carried it towards her mouth... feeling a heavenly taste spreading all over her mouth, she felt her whole face blush in ecstasy and happiness overflow throughout her body.
'Damn sister... damn sister... She ate the cake slowly wanting to taste every piece while cursing her sister for having made her miss the chance to experience every pleasure in life...
"But if all this hadn't happened, would I still be me?" When she asked herself this question, Nero was a little confused, since she hadn't been herself since she was Nera and Nero. "Is it right to say that memories make me who I am, so without the memories of Nero or Nera, I wouldn't be me?"
Nero shook her head throwing those thoughts away, she didn't think thinking about it would lead her somewhere. Now she could only accept what had happened to her and continue to live as best she could without losing anything, but of course, she could not be hasty and put everything to lose.
"Nero?"
"Huh?" She looked at Choko. Seeing the strange expression Choko was giving her, Nero began to wonder if she did anything strange.
"I called you a few times... did you like the cake so much?" Choko blushed, "You want... you want my share too?"
"An angel? Not. A goddess?" Nero wondered. 'Who in their right mind would give their cake...?'
Nero's eyes sparkled with light even more blinding than the midday sun. Choko and her mother Latifa were stunned with their bright and beautiful eyes looking like a rare jewel.
"Did she like the cake that much?" The pair of mother and daughter looked at each other. Latifa tried her best not to shed any tears, wondering how hard it was, for her to be so happy just eating a simple piece of cake...
"Man, man, aunt's already full, she can eat my share too," Latifa said with her eyes full of love and compassion.
She looked at them both without understanding why they were acting like this. But she didn't refuse. "I can't waste this wonderful cake if they're already full, right?"
With that thought in mind, Nero smiled cheerfully and said, "Thank you, Aunt Latifa, Choko."
"Don't worry, you can eat all you want." Latifa tried her best to repress her tears and smiled at Nero.
"Yes, yes, Nero, I was already full," Choko said putting her plate with half the slice of the cake intact.
"They're so kind..." Nero thought, "They're not trying to fatten me up and then devour me, right?" Nero almost thought of refusing when she thought about it, but when she thought of stopping eating that divine cake, she made her eyes wet.
She really believed that she had this possibility, not only in this life but in Nero's past life, she knew that there were many psychopathic people who ate human flesh... just thinking about it made her tremble with fear.
"No, no, they wouldn't do that to me..." Convinced that Choko and Latifa weren't cannibals wanting to fatten her up and then eat her. Nero ate the cake again with a big silly smile on her face.
"Daughter... do you intend to continue in this life as a hunter?"
Latifa's worried voice reached Choko and Nero's ears. It was evident from Choko's mother's expression that she was not satisfied with her daughter's lifestyle. Nero looked silently, she could understand Latifa's concern, the life of a hunter was risky.
"Mother..."
Choko looked at her mother's worried expression and took a long sigh. She breathed some air; she closed her eyes for a few seconds and opened again.
Choko's eyes glowed with determination as she responded: "I know you're worried about me. But you don't have to worry, this daughter of yours here doesn't intend to do anything too risky and put my life at risk. I don't want to leave my dear mother alone after all."
Look, she smiled kindly at her mother as she finished talking.
Hearing her daughter's answer, Latifa said nothing more. She knew her daughter was stubborn, and when she decided something, she could hardly go back. But she couldn't help but worry about her daughter going out hunting monsters, putting her life at risk.
After finishing all the cake, Nero rubbed her belly satisfied.
Seeing Nero's silly smile when she finished eating, Choko and Latifa looked at each other and smiled. It was satisfying for both of us, seeing Nero's happy smile.
Soon one of the maids came to them and collected the dishes and served them a new cup of tea.
"Thank you." Nero thanked her when she got the tea glass.
After they finished their tea. Choko stood up and looked at her mother and said, "Mom, we're leaving now. I'll come back later."
"Right. But be careful out there." Latifa said worriedly.
"I will." Choko gave a reassuring smile.
Nero has also finished her tea, although she is not used to drinking tea, she liked the taste.
Choko turned to Nero and she said, "Shall we go?"
"Yes." Nero agreed. But before she left, she looked at Latifa and said, "Thanks Aunt Latifa, everything was great!"
After the two of them finished changing, they left. Nero wore her leather clothes again, while Choko was wearing black pants and a tight brown blouse and a short-sleeved black jacket.
Although the clothes are simple, she was still very pretty.
