Beneath the night sky, a small campfire was burning, and the sound of sizzling meat could be heard. A man and a fox can be seen lying next to the fire enjoying the freshly cooked skewers.
Nexus lay down using Aurora's body as a pillow as he opened the chat window. In the chat, Chen seemed to have bought an interesting topic.
-=-=-=-=-=-=
Chat:
Chen- Heyyyyyy, I was checking all the beast rankings... why can't I see Noir's and Yukihema's ranking??
Abdul- Do you have so much time on your hands? Also, how did you finish checking billions of beasts?
Chen: I just checked the top thousands, after all, people like them should at least be that high.
Jin: Valid point.
Jin: Also you didn't ask about Raj?
Chen: There is no way that guy is gonna keep a pet.
Jin: Another valid point.
Noir: Oh.. then what gave you the impression that I will keep a pet.
Jin: Another vali...
Abdul: Don't finish that sentence or ... well you know the consequence.
Chen: +1
Noir: Consequence. I wonder what you mean by that I would like to hear more about it...
Abdul: Nothing! Nothing! Also, I have something to do. Bye..
In an open field, Abdul quickly closed his chat channel. Feeling Noir's threat he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Really nobody is normal in the channel."
He muttered as he patted the giant dear next to him, it was his pet. Quickly climbing on its back he started to move from the area.
"Especially those devil trio."
Was the last thing he said before he continued on his way.
....
...
Noir: Also Chen what did you mean by '+1'?
Chen: Nothing big sis...
In the world, Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead, the only person he fears in this world is Noir. Plus she is on the same continent.
"It's better not to tick that she-devil."
At the same time, he felt more admiration toward Nexus who can go toe to toe with her.
"I should really learn from Brother Nexus on how to subjugate such monsters."
"Don't you think so?"
Chen asked with a smile as he tickled the little monkey standing on his shoulder, the monkey hearing his master's words tilted his head before continuing to enjoy the banana in his hands.
"Haaa, What crime did I commit to get you as my pet."
He sighed before focusing back on the chat.
..
..
Jin: Anyway what did you do to your pet?
Noir: I threw away the egg.
Yukihema: What a waste!!!
Chen: Oh, you are here. So what did you do to your pet egg?
Yukihema: I ate the egg.
Jin: !?
Chen: Waaa!?
Noir: How did it taste?
Yukihema: It tasted divine, plus that was just boiling it in water without any seasoning.
Sitting in a cave next to a small fire Yukihema couldn't help but wipe her saliva. Just thinking about the taste made her want to eat it again.
Although she has a title of Saint, to taste the egg again she won't mind doing some robbery.
"Ah, Noir really wasted that egg."
..
..
Noir: Did it taste that good? Now I regret it. I want to taste it.
Yukihema: Yes, it's a taste you can't forget after tasting it.
Noir: Hmm, there must be some who haven't hatched their eggs. Should we try to steal them?
Yukihema: Yes! Why didn't I think of that !?
Jin: Wait! Wait! Stop.. just let this conversation end here.
In an ice igloo, Jin sat as he looked at the chat, being the oldest member in the chat he couldn't help but give a tired sigh looking at their conversation.
"Oww"
A dog, that looked like a golden retriever just with redder fur gave a small howl feeling his master's emotion.
"It's ok, Jacky. Just looking at kids messing around."
Jin said as he gently petted the dog's fur.
"Though... Noir.. with blood on her hand can't be really called a child."
Jin muttered as he remembered the organization Noir was from, the Shadow Corp. A hidden governmental organization that raises orphans to be deadly weapons.
Although Noir had never talked about her organization or occupation.
After all, he has been working for the government for too long, so it's natural for him to know some things.
Plus she was one of the ones ordered to hunt a certain assassin that murdered her master.
"I wonder what's the deal with Nexus though."
...
...
Noir: Hmm,...
Yukihema: Sorry I overreacted..
-=-=-=-=-=-=
Looking at the chat an amused smile appeared on Nexus's face. Though he is also wondering what that egg tastes like.
"I should ask Raj, he must have kept his."
He murmured as he closed down the chat window, he then glanced at the world chat before closing it.
Nothing groundbreaking seemed to have happened so he opened his map.
Looking at the distance of 6000 km between him and Noir he sighed.
It seems from the current speed of travel he should be able to meet with Noir in about a year or two.
"Though, our way seems to cross the center of the Flame Fox forest."
Nexus rubbed his chin as he thought of this. After all, as he traveled toward the center the stronger the enemy's he has been meeting.
One time he even had run into a peak second rank. Even with all their power they were forced to run away.
Plus from what he has learned, the ruler of the forest seems to be in the Spiritual lord rank.
"Hey, Mrs. All Seeing Eyes. What are our chances of escaping from a Spiritual Lord."
[Note: Zero change. You two will die.]
"Wow, so blunt."
"At least try to sound nice."
No reply came.
"haaa, why I am trying to talk to my own authority?"
Nexus said with shame as he turned around burying his face in Aurora's soft fur.
As for Aurora, she was just enjoying her meal while feeling her master's touch. As for his behavior,.. well she has gotten used to it.
