Chapter 30 - Chapter 29: Eat it All Until Nothing is Left

At Eden's room.

Himeko: "Umm, Eden. What is it that you wanted to talk about anyways? Don't we have to return tomorrow? Don't you want to stay with Ein?"

Elysia: "Umu, I thought we were gonna hear you scream tonight Eden~"

Eden deadpan stared at Elysia "Shut up Ellie, I've noticed something." She squinted her eyes "Did something happen that made you guys closer? Ein didn't tell me anything so that means it wasn't really a big thing for him, but it might be for you."

Elysia assumed a thinking pose and then her face brightened up "It's probably because me and Himeko slept with him?" She tilted her head.

Himeko blushed atomic red and was frozen.

Eden: "W-WHAT!?" She grasped Elysia and shaked her like a ragdoll. "What do you mean you slept with him!? And both of you at the same time even!"

Elysia: "Don't you understand Eden?" She said smugly "It's exactly what you imagine!"

Himeko: She waved her hands all over the place "NO! We did sleep with him but it wasn't what you think!" She protested.

Eden glared at Elysia "Himeko, what happened exactly then?"

Himeko: "At the last day of our exercise mission, I went to Ein's room to talk to him and we talked a bit. I then asked if I can sleep at his room." She said softly while blushing like a tomato.

Eden: "I see, then I assume Elysia appeared the next morning because she sneaked in while you were asleep?"

Elysia pouted "Mou, you're no fun Himeko! You were supposed to tease Eden with me."

Himeko: "Stop reeling me in on your plans Elysia. W-we didn't do anything lewd!"

Eden: "So that's what happened huh, you guys made a breakthrough. What do you think about him though? That bastard said he preferred a harem but he won't actively pursue one."

Elysia's eyes glinted and she stared at Eden "Hohhh, did you agree though?"

Himeko was surprised and just stared at empty space, dazed.

Eden: "Well, I'm torn. I want him all to myself for sure, but you know how he is. He's like a god among men, nobody can compete with him. He can do anything if he puts in a bit of effort and his face is like a crime. It's too beautiful." She said with a wry smile.

Himeko: "Un, he is amazing huh. He spoils us a lot too."

Elysia: "That's right! He's so sweet too. Did you know he prepares all our meals? It tastes heavenly too."

Eden: "Heeeh, so he cooks too huh? I'll ask him for a sample tomorrow then. Yeah, he is very sweet too. He actually made a lot of music for me back then." She reminisced.

Elysia: "But is there a reason that you're doubting if you can have him to yourself? I know you can't put a leash on him but he doesn't really pursue girls willy nilly. I think if you wanted he'd be fine with just you."

Eden gave Elysia a look "You want to mine some information huh. Well there's a certain problem with that you see. It's one of the reasons I didn't stay with him tonight too..." She then hesitated and fidgeted.

Elysia noticed it immediately "Ooh, so when you had sex with him, he defeated you so badly huh~"

Himeko: "W-what are you saying Elysia! That's their private matters you know!?"

Eden raised a hand "Hah, Ellie noticed it so it won't really be a problem to tell now Himeko. You're right Elysia, I think you know this by now but that bad guy probably has limitless stamina."

Himeko: "Ohh, we did notice while we were training. He doesn't sweat and his breathing doesn't change no matter what he does. He's a soldier and a researcher too. I don't even think he sleeps or something."

Elysia: "Right? He even prepares our meals just like a mother would. Trains us every time we have downtime too."

Eden: "Hah, that's the problem. That guy is too energetic. I have a busy schedule the next day, that's why sleeping with him right now is a bad idea. I had to walk bow legged the last time after all, and that would be bad."

Elysia's eyes widened "So he wrecked you huh? For how long?" She asked curiously.

Eden: "Well, it was at least 6 hours. And he's probably getting stronger too."

Elysia pondered for a moment "Hehe~ why don't me and Himeko help you try and take him down next time~"

Himeko pinched Elysia's cheeks "What are you talking about Elysia!? I... don't want others with us while we do that." She said softly while fidgeting.

Eden: "What are you muttering about Himeko? And Ellie" She squinted her eyes "You're not even his lover, he won't touch you like that if you haven't even confessed yet. Well, if we didn't drink that night I might've chickened out too." She muttered.

Elysia: "Un, that's the thing. I feel like he's above and beyond us, I'm just a simple soldier and he's already a superb one. He's valued highly by Dr. Mobius too, and she's very high up in status. I once saw that woman walking with him. And it might not seem much but that's like a miracle, Dr. Mobius is scary after all."

Himeko: "I understand that. I feel inadequate standing beside him, even as a junior researcher everyone already seems to kowtow to him. When he went away for a week he was like a VIP, the guy transporting him was all formal and nervous."

Eden: "So that's what you guys think huh. I'd say that Ein doesn't care, but your mentality is the one holding you back. Honestly, even though I'm a world renowned musician and performer if he went out there and didn't hide his identity. I'll be overshadowed by his genius too. His music is considered legendary after all, and most of my songs were composed by him."

Elysia: "Well, at least we know that even the voice of heaven feels a little inadequate against Ein."

Himeko: "Really? Even though you're so amazing? I think you fit him perfectly."

Eden smiled wryly "Thank you, but I think you guys should have some confidence as well. You're world class beauties after all. And I know that you guys aren't like those hussies too." She gave a small smile.

Elysia: "Himeko! Eden is giving us permission! Isn't that nice~"

Himeko: "Well, this is awkward, but thanks."

Eden: "You guys are my sisters now then. But you gotta take care of him there alright? I'm not going to be around after all. So don't let some hussy come near him okay!?" She then hugged them.

Elysia: "Of course! We'll take good care of him~ if you know what I mean." She said with mirth in her voice.

Himeko: "Don't worry Eden, we're quite worried about him too. He works basically 24/7 and still has time for us. We'll take good care of him." She blushed but gave a smile.

Eden: "Enough about this. Let's sleep now, we have to return to our lives tomorrow. We'll get busy so we should rest." They then lied down and slept.

____________________________________________

I woke up because of the sun light. I washed my face and went to the girls' room. "Eden, Elysia, Himeko. Let's eat some breakfast, I've got them prepared already." I want Eden to taste my cooking and breakfast in bed is nice.

Eden then opened the door and she saw me carrying plates of food. "Ohhh, is that your cooking Ein? The breakfast in this hotel is japanese after all."

She let me in and I put down the food on the table. "We have a frittata, baked sausage and eggs, and ricotta pancakes. Come on let's have a bite."

Elysia: "Waw, breakfast in bed? You charmer, I can get used to this."

Himeko: "Thank you Ein, these look delicious as always. And they smell absolutely heavenly."

Eden: "Now I know what you guys were talking about, I can't wait to eat!"

We ate quickly and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Well that's good, we have to check out though and it was nice till this lasted.

Eden: "So this is goodbye guys, I'll miss you. Let's do this again sometimes." She hugged us all one by one.

Elysia: "It was fun Eden! Of course we'll hang out again when our schedules line up."

Himeko: "Yes, this was a pleasant experience. I would like to do this again."

Ein: "Call me when you arrive at your destination Eden. And here, it's a blueberry rare cheesecake, some cookies too. Put the cake in a fridge and it'll last at least a week." I then kissed her goodbye as she went off in a car.

Ein: "Well, we need to get back to HQ I guess. You guys missed some training, we'll have to make sure you won't get too complacent." I pat their heads.

Elysia closed her eyes and hugged my waist "We'll have to catch up with you, even just a little."

Himeko: "Umu, we have to work harder. So we won't be a burden to you."

Ein laughed "Why are you so energetic today Elysia? Well, you guys will make fine soldiers with that attitude. Come on let's go." We then departed to HQ in a happy mood.

____________________________________________

We've arrived but I need to do my experiment. "Elysia, Himeko, can you guys train with Kevin for now? I need to do something with Mobius you see."

Elysia pouted "There's certainly something suspicious with you and Dr. Mobius. Are you having an affair!" She pointed at me.

Himeko: "You've been going to her a lot Ein, is that true?" She squinted her eyes.

Ein: "Haha you guys know that I'm a researcher right? We have an experiment planned and I want to do it right now. Mobius' a good friend of mine and we have a lot planned."

Elysia: "Is that so?" She was still suspicious.

Himeko: "Alright, just don't overwork yourself okay? We just went back from vacation after all."

I waved them goodbye as I went to Mobius' lab.

Klein: "Mr. Einheri, Dr. Mobius wants something from you. She told me to tell you to go to her once you've returned."

I patted her head "Okay Klein, thanks for telling me."

Klein: "Please don't do that Mr. Einheri, it's quite embarrassing." She pouted.

Ein: "Well, you're so expressionless Klein. You need to lighten up you know." He laughed at her.

Mobius: "Stop messing with my assistant Ein, I need you to store Vishnu and Shesha's corpses so they won't degrade." She rolled her eyes.

Ein: "Ohh, so their bodies have arrived here huh? Come on then, and I'll have to give you the corpse of the templar and chariot too."

We then went to a huge warehouse, the judgement and emperor class beasts were sprawled out on the ground. "Hoh, seeing them up close is truly fascinating. They're huge as hell."

Mobius: "Stop dilly dallying. I already told the higher ups that we have a better storage for them so you can store them now. And take out the templar and chariot, I'll extract their honkai energy later."

I then stored the huge corpses and took out the ones I defeated earlier. "Oh and Mobius, remember what I said before coming to the red zone? I want to try something."

Mobius: "Hoh? This should be interesting no? Then let's go to the lab then."

We returned to Mobius' lab and she was already holding a clipboard in hand.

Mobius tapped on the table impatiently "So? What is it that you wanted to do?"

Ein: "Hehe, you won't expect this." I then took out a seraph class honkai beast and she just looked at it, confused.

Mobius: "And what do you want to do with that?" She raised a brow.

Ein: "I'll consume it."

Mobius went silent and just stared at me like I grew a 2nd head. "You what? Those things are impervious to conventional weaponry, and they're silicon based as well. How in the hell are you going to eat those!?"

Ein: "You see, you're quite surprised. Well I have a theory, honkai beasts are very very hard right? And when an organism gets corrupted by honkai energy they evolve almost instantaneously to be stronger, harder, faster, etc."

Mobius: "And? I don't think it will have drastic effects on you even if you eat that thing."

Ein: "I want to try and digest it using honkai energy and maybe it'll increase my reserves as well? I can control my body functions as well and I'll funnel the digested nutrients to my body. If it's possible, and make my body have similar durability to a honkai beast. Even though I'm tough I'm not quite bulletproof."

Mobius just stared at me "How does your body really work? Are you even a human? Human anatomy doesn't function like that. Nevertheless, this is an interesting experiment. So you want me to scan you after right? Go ahead." She looked on with interest.

I then chopped it up the honkai beast to little pieces with a short sword. It's hard after all, better to chew little pieces. I grabbed a piece and enhanced my teeth with honkai energy. I bit the piece and it was like eating hardtack. Ugh, I'm gonna need some water after this for sure.

Mobius just wrote something while looking at him biting the beast. When he chewed it made a grinding noise that sounds like concrete being crushed.

After I chewed it to bits I then swallowed. I focused honkai energy inside my stomach and feel it slowly melting like hard candy. "I think it worked Mobius, I'll channel the nutrients to the skin of my hands and see what happens."

Mobius adjusted her glasses and observed carefully "A patch of your skin is getting pale! Does it feel different? What do you think is happening?" She pelted me with questions.

I tried to touch it and it felt harder for sure. "It doesn't necessarily feel different, but it's harder I'm sure. Stab that part with a normal knife or something and let's see." I gave Mobius a normal kitchen knife.

Mobius then grasped it and quickly stabbed on the pale spot on my hand. When it impacted, it made a sound like it was struck to a hard surface, and the tip chipped."

"Ooh, this is amazing. Did you feel anything when it hit you?" She asked.

Ein: "I feel tactile sensations but my skin didn't even feel elastic." I tried pinching the spot strongly and it was still elastic like normal skin."

Mobius: "Oh, it now needs a lot of force to be moved. It's extremely hard but still elastic. You won't be stiff at least. Come on eat it all! Don't leave anything behind and enhance every part of your body." She said excitedly.

I then put the leftover nutrients on my teeth and I had a better time chewing these. It's pretty bland too, no taste whatsoever. I'm gonna have to put some sauce on these things.

I then digested it all and put some on my vital spots first, my skull, eyes, nether regions, face, and chest. I then tried stabbing myself on the face and it just deflected it like it was nothing.

I took out another seraph and put some barbecue sauce on it.

Mobius: "Seriously? You're really putting some sauce on it?" She deadpanned at me.

Klein: "Well it is more enjoyable that way Dr. Mobius, it must be bland."

Ein: "You don't understand anything Mobius, you should learn some things from Klein." I waved the seraph in front of her like a piece of meat.

I then bit it without chopping it up and enjoyed it more with my home made sauce. Maybe I'll try hollandaise next. I then put the nutrients on my skin, skeleton, and muscles.

I looked at a mirror and I turned pale and I looked like a corpse. I controlled my melatonin and my skin slowly became a healthy carnation pink again.

Mobius: "Now, let me get a sample!" She then tried getting a bit of my skin with her mandolin like gadget. But my skin didn't even budge.

I laugh "Mobius, what will you do? You can't cut a sample anymore. Now what can you give me in exchange?" I teased her.

Mobius pouted "Stop being an idiot! Give me a sample and I... How about a date? You always pester me that I need to go out."

Ein: "Ooh, Klein did you hear that!? Of course I'll pester you, stupid. You're overworking yourself, so let's have you relax for a bit later." I then sliced a piece of my skin using my short sword.

Klein: "Do not worry Mr. Einheri, I am a witness to this deal and I would be your reminder when you cash out the deal." She said a bit smugly.

Mobius: "Ugh, not you too Klein. Fine, we'll get some new assistants anyway. They're young and trustworthy too Ein. So no need to worry about them leaking our experiments." She then gave me 2 files and it showed twins.

Klein: "They're a bit eccentric as well so you will get along with them just fine Mr. Einheri."

Ein squinted his eyes on Klein "Are you saying I'm weird Klein?"

Klein nodded with a straight face "Yes, who eats honkai beasts anyway? And you're the only one Dr. Mobius can't win against."

Mobius: "Hey! I heard that. It's not that I can't win against him, he's just a scheming bastard." She muttered.

I laugh then I looked at the files more clearly "Hmm, Nuwa and Fuxi? They're quite impressive for their age. They might not be on the level of me and Mei but it's still amazing." (Insert pic here)

Mobius: "There, you happy now? I'm going to have more assistants so you better not pester me anymore." She huffed.

I pat her head "Umu, I'm satisfied. You work too hard Mobius, let's go to a relaxing place next time alright?" I smile at her.

Mobius just closed her eyes "Thank you, I do feel quite tired these days. And it's all your fault! I have to take play with Hamsuke now too." She pouted.

Ein: "Haha, Hamsuke helps you relax right? Especially when you're stuck in your research."

Mobius: "Yeah, it isn't running away from me now too. Thank you for giving it to me."

I patted her head and we played with Hamsuke for a bit. I even got a picture of her smiling while holding him.
