279 A Great Morning

The chapter I owed...

...

The next morning, when Bloed woke up, he felt something heavy against his body.

Opening his eyes, he saw a silver-haired girl sleeping soundly with her head on his right chest and a black-haired girl sleeping with her head on his left arm.

As soon as he opened his eyes, one of the girls opened her eyes as well, as though she had been waiting for him to wake up.

"Good morning, master," Regina said softly, moving like a proud cat to give him a kiss on his lips.

Bloed replied with a smile and another kiss, that was followed for a third kiss, and a fourth, and a fifth...

If not that Liu Ying groaned at that moment, startling the pair of lovebirds, perhaps they would have made out right there.

Unfortunately, even although Liu Ying did not wake up, she destroyed the mood completely.

"… That bothersome demon." Regina clicked her tongue in irritation. "Why did she want to sleep here in the first place? Interrupting our time together."

Bloed smiled wryly with a helpless expression. What could he answer in this situation?

The reason Regina was irritated was that last night when the three of them went to sleep, Regina sauntered arrogantly towards Bloed's room, bragging to Liu Ying that they were going to do you-know-what.

What she was not expecting was that when Liu Ying saw that, she gritted her teeth angrily and charged inside the room with the excuse she was still a bit afraid after what happened and did not want to sleep alone.

After that, a war of fake smiles and sharp words started in the room, with neither Liu Ying nor Regina taking a step back. Normally, Bloed would have interfered to stop their fight, but he was too tired to bother.

Thus, he simply lay on the bed and fell asleep.

And perhaps because Liu Ying was tired as well, or because Regina did not want to bother him, but when the girls saw that, they stopped fighting almost immediately.

Not much after that, he felt two warm bodies lying down against him.

Just like that, the three of them fell asleep.

It was Bloed's first experience sleeping with two girls at the same time, and although they just slept, Bloed found that he liked it very much.

Almost immediately, some thoughts that any man would have started to appear on his mind.

Yeah, he was definitively going to do that one day.

Although with Regina and Liu Ying's personalities, he was going to need a while to make that dream reality.

"… Master, what are you thinking about?"

"Huh?"

"… I have the feeling you were thinking about something I was not going to like."

"You are imagining things," Bloed said with a straight face, surprising himself by how easy he found it to lie.

Fortunately, Liu Ying started to wake up at that moment. Opening her eyes groggily, and stopping Regina from continuing her interrogation.

The demon looked towards Bloed's face and smiled sillily, planting a kiss on his lips as well.

"Morning…"

"Morning." Bloed smiled and caressed her hair, making Liu Ying close her eyes happily like a puppy happy to receive its owner's attention.

"Demon, you know I'm here as well, right?"

"… Right, I forgot about you." Liu Ying rolled her eyes and kissed Bloed again while smirking to Regina before standing up from the bed with a yawn. "I don't want to fight with you now. I need to go to the washroom."

"You are right. We should not fight so early in the morning." Regina smiled and nodded. Putting on a smile so sincere that both Bloed and Liu Ying were startled.

In fact, Liu Ying took several steps backward a bit creeped out.

"O... kay?"

Distancing herself from Regina and wondering if the Valkyrie was plotting something, the demon left the room with a weirded out look.

And she was right.

As soon as Liu Ying left the room. Regina grinned victoriously.

She then went to close the door and locked it up. After that, she looked at Bloedand licked her lips.

"Master, the demon finally left. It's still early. Don't you think we should do something meaningful?"

Upon saying that, Regina started to slide down her clothes.

Bloed did not know whether to laugh or to cry.

"Please stop bullying Liu Ying so much, okay?"

"I'll think about it."

When Liu Ying returned, she found the door locked and heard the sounds coming from the room.

Furious, she gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to break.

That day, Bloed was forced to face Liu Ying's displeased face during the entire day.

…

After Bloed and Regina left the room, they ate a quick breakfast and started their day.

Today, Bloed planned to experiment a bit more with his new ability. He had used it to create a new technique, [Imaginary Slash], but Bloed did not plan to stop there. In fact, he had already thought about another technique he was planning to create.

This time, he was planning to create a defensive technique.

But when he parted towards his laboratory, he met with two acquaintances.

One of them was a point-yeared girl with long white hair and silver eyes, so beautiful that it seemed like nature itself was praising her beauty; and the other was a golden-haired and golden-eyed fox girl with a deadpan face and transcendent beauty.

"Bloed." Eve greeted him with a soft nod.

Bloed was about to return the greeting, but he suddenly noticed a sharp glare being directed to his way.

Stunned, he followed the glare to find the white-haired elf looking at him angrily.

"Miss Elwha?"

"Hmph!" Elwha snorted and walked away, ignoring Bloed.

But through their mental connection, Bloed could feel a bit of… embarrassment?"

"What was that?" Bloed was confused.

"… Why is the Elf Princess angry with you?" Eve tilted her head with her usual expressionless look.

Bloed smiled wryly at a loss. How was he supposed to know why she was suddenly like that?

He remembered they were alright yesterday.

"Anyway, it's good I found you," Eve said, quickly forgetting about the elf princess. "I need to talk with you."

"Did anything happen?"

"No." Eve shook her head. "I just want to discuss your additional reward."

Bloed was startled. Additional reward?

He did not know about that.

"… You see, you agreed to participate in this competition for the spiritual fruits. But to be honest, what happened during the competition and you and your girlfriends' performance is not something that can be compared to just some spiritual fruits. Thus, I decided to give you an additional reward."

Bloed nodded in understanding. Not just her, he also thought it was a bad deal.

Even if he counted the reward he would receive from The Great Savannah later, it was still a bad deal.

But he ended earning a lot during the competition, so he did not care too much about it.

Of course, it doesn't mean he was going to reject Eve's offer.

After all, free things are good things.

The thing was, Bloed was not sure about what to ask for.

No, he thought of something. But even he thought it was an outrageous request. He was not sure if Eve was going to agree to it.

In the end, though, he decided to ask.

When Eve heard his request, her eyes opened slightly wide.

Then, she looked at Bloed with a strange expression.

"That is… A strange request."

And smiled.

"But I think I can help you with that."
