Itsuki awakened from his mental state with a surprised and confused look. In front of him is Chris who casually wipes up some blood trace from his lips while looking super annoyed. Itsuki is shocked seeing the blood on Chris's lips.
"Ah... Itsuki, welcome back. Don't worry, this is not a big deal. Tsk... I seriously never expected they will found out that I am helping you, at least not this fast. But rest assured, I had given them some lessons just now, you should be able to activate this orb again soon, and the next time you are in that space, they would not have the guts to do all those wicked things on you anymore." said Chris. Itsuki nodded sheepishly.
"Hmm... I wondered where is Byako?" said Chris as he noticed that Byako is not in the hall with them.
Then, Ben opened the main door of the hall and walked in with Byako who is now in his cat form, and Ben definitely doesn't look very happy.
"Ah... I see. He brought Ben here." said Chris with a slightly awkward and bitter smile.
"I was informed that you were just having some ordinary training with Itsuki but Byako just told me that you two are doing something really dangerous, and I smelled a scent of blood in here, just what the hell you two had done?" Ben asked, he sounds a bit angry but still checked on both Chris and Itsuki, particularly Chris.
"Well... Maybe not that ordinary... But it's just a slightly advanced training. Nothing weird about it. Right? Itsuki?" said Chris, obviously bluffing, and Itsuki sheepishly nodded.
"As if I will believe in that. Anyway, it's lunchtime, Jason had prepared some good meal in the cafeteria." said Ben before exiting the hall.
Chris is relieved.
"You heard him, let's go." said Chris.
Itsuki nodded...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chris walked into the cafeteria with Itsuki, and to their surprise, Sky and Seito had returned from their quest, they are now talking about the awful scene they encountered earlier with Maria who also had just returned from shopping with Yuki and Ai.
"Heh? That's awful! We all know that there's no cure once a person started mutating to a Kirin Demon! Oh dear..." Maria exclaimed in terror.
"Well, since what they consumed is not the genuine Kirin's blood but synthetic Kirin's blood that generated from some sort of hybrids, I am thinking that there might still have some chances for those people. I had consulted Dominic about that and he agrees with my hypothesis." said Sky.
"Ah... I wonder if Uncle Dominic has a way to cure those people." said Maria, rather blunt.
"I doubt about that, Ben and I had been researching the cure for Kirin blood's mutation for years with no result at all, not even a single bit of useful or related information can be found. So I believe that even it is just synthetic Kirin blood instead of the real thing, it would not be that easy." said Chris as he seated down and joined the conversation.
"Chris-chan!" Maria exclaimed before hooking on Chris's arm like a spoiled child.
"Hmm... Looks like you were having a fun time in the town with the girls." said Chris as he glimpsed at a fancy new bracelet on Maria's wrist which is kind of matching with the bracelets Ai and Yuki wore.
"You mean this pretty bracelet? Oh my! I never knew there is such a wonderful jewelry store in the store! There are all sorts of wonderful jewelry and ornaments sold in there, you seriously need to pay it a visit and buy something for Rei-chan." said Maria, who sounds very excited.
"Nah... He would not be interested in that, he only gifted Rei the things he crafted by his own hand, moreover, he already made a pair of nice matching butterfly wings pendants for her." said Sky.
"Heh??? Why didn't I know about that?" said Maria...
Hearing all these conversations from the side, Seito once again wondered what is the relation between Chris and that Queen of the Kingdom, and he can't help but glimpse at Ruby who clumsily walked out from the kitchen with a pot of soup in her hands.
"Even though it's not that hot, be careful not to spill it on yourself." said Jason from the kitchen like a caring parent.
However, everyone knows that, for a clumsy girl who is holding a pot of soup or whatever things while surrounded by a whole group of handsome men, that warm advice is nothing but a flag. And with this flag, she tripped just when she reached Chris's seat. Fortunately, Chris held her and caught the pot before she fall down and spill the soup.
"Watch your step." said Chris, in a cold tone.
Slightly scared of Chris, Ruby sheepishly nodded before running towards Jason who had just walked out from the kitchen with a plate of mixed vegetables. Ruby hid behind Jason while peeping at Chris.
"Ah... I am sorry for what she did, please forgive her, she just started learning chores the day before yesterday and is still not very good at it." said Jason as he realized that Ruby almost spilled the soup.
"Nah... It's alright, the soup is safe after all." said Sky, Chris remained silent.
Then, the security system of the secret base sends out a notification on incoming visitor's alerts. Sky viewed the notification.
"Hmm... It's Junior and Bob, that's rather early." said Sky, a bit surprised by their arrival.
"Well, perfect timing to have lunch together." said Maria, rather happy to see Junior...

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
