BXBX NOVEL Chapter 130 - A Deal
Presently, both of them are eating, however, Elma was avoiding him, to be specific she's avoiding making eye contact with him.
From the outsiders' point of view, they looked like they were having a lover's quarrel, but it was far from reality. Elma was just annoyed with his teasing, although she's clearly avoiding him, she couldn't stop eating what's on her table.
"Hey, I'm sorry okay?"
"Hmph!"
"I didn't mean it."
"Hmmph!"
"It was fun teasing you that's why.."
"Tch..!"
He smiled wryly, he thought. 'I've gone too far, alright…. let's see...hmm? Oh, I think I know what to do.'
"Elma, look at me." He stared at her, however, she only glanced at him for a moment, before ignoring him again, seeing that he had to use his newly acquired trump card.
"1 parfait." He raised one of his fingers.
This instantly got her attention, from what he observed Elma seemed to love the parfait so much, and so his guess was right, however, even with that she only looked at her a few more seconds than before because ignoring him again, he thought. '1 isn't enough huh? Then..what about more."
"2?" He looked at her, however, she still ignored him.
"3?" She still ignored him.
"5!" Finally she looked at him with a hard expression, then she replied. "Make it 10!"
"Deal! He immediately agreed, adding 5 more wasn't a big deal.
After he ordered 10 different kinds of parfait, she stopped ignoring him, however, she was still pouting at him.
"I'm sorry really, I mean it."
"I know...if you aren't you wouldn't give me 10 parfaits... but please don't do that again.." She stared at him in the eyes.
Hearing that he thought. 'Parfaits..what a powerful weapon!' he replied. "I'll try, but I wouldn't promise to not tease you again."
Elma stared at him for a moment, before saying. "...Fine, but if you go too far with your tease I won't just ask for 10 parfaits but 100!"
"Alright, you do that then shall we continue eating?"
"Okay!"
After eating at the restaurant. Kyle brought her to the mall so that he could buy her few clothes, it was still 8 PM, so the mall wasn't closed yet as they went to the female clothing shop, the employee of that said shop was stunned as she saw how beautiful Elma is, it would be a lie if she didn't feel inferior, however, as she was asked for recommendations of what should Elma wear, she was elastic, she made her try almost of the outfit in the shop, which was enjoyed by visitors and staff and even the manager of the shop enjoyed this self-made fashion show.
Elma was a bit embarrassed wearing those kinds of revealing clothes, she enjoyed wearing various kinds of outfit and because of her little fashion show, many girls bought the outfits that Elma tried, the manager was happy with this development, then she asked Elma to be pictured so that she would become a model in their shop. Elma was hesitant to accept the offer, however, the manager said if she is willing to be the model of their shop she will give her those clothes that she wanted for free!
Knowing that. Elma stopped hesitating and accepted the shop manager's offer, seeing that Kyle knew that it would take him a while to go home so he decided to call his family instead of texting them.
After calling them, he continued to look after Elma.
---
At exactly 10 PM,
Elma was worn out, she wasn't physically tired, but mentally exhausted she didn't think that it would take her 2 hours to finish, she swore that she wouldn't accept that kind of offer next time.
"Hey, are you alright?" He asked.
"Yeah...I won't accept that kind of offer next time, it's mentally exhausting."
"Haha, right but aren't you glad that you get clothes for free?"
"Yeah.." Elma smiled.
Suddenly he stopped his tracks, he had forgotten something important, he looked at Elma and asked. "Say, are you going to sleep in that old apartment tonight?"
"That's right, sleeping there is better than sleeping in the mountain, sea, and streets."
"Sigh* yeah what did I expect, forget sleeping there. I feel pity whenever I think of you sleeping in that almost collapsing apartment." It was even worse than Sadao's old apartment!
"I don't see what's wrong with me sleeping there? It's still usable no?"
Hearing her he rolled his eyes and replied. "Yeah, no sh*t you're sleeping in my house."
"Y-you! Eh?! Ehhhh?!" She pointed at him with her finger while blushing, although she couldn't remember anything she knew that when a man and woman sleep in the same house, they will do something 'lewd'.
"Hol' up, don't let your imagination run wild. It isn't what you think it is, I won't do anything to you, besides even if I did I can't. I'm not the only one living in my house." He cleared the misunderstanding with her because he wouldn't want this misunderstanding to grow, it's a pain the ass to deal with.
"Really?"
"Yeah, so you're coming with me."
"Alright." She accepted his offer, she trusted him that much.
He looks at her with a wryly smile, he thought. 'She didn't even ask any other questions. I need to let her know that she shouldn't accept without giving it a thought, anyway thanks to the fact that she is naive, I wouldn't bother answering countless questions before she would agree.'
He brought her home after she agreed, then after he did, he remembered a certain LN from his previous life named. I Shaved. Then I Brought a High School Girl Home.
If he were to title his situation right now, it would be called I Fainted. Then I Brought a Sea Dragon That Lost Her Memories Home.
Thinking that his expression turned weird, then it stopped after he went inside his house, as soon as he went inside he was immediately greeted by an intense bloodlust, however, it wasn't directed into him but to Elma.
The person who let that intense bloodlust is no other than Tohru! She glared at Elma with bloodshot eyes, she tried to make her tone normal but, she failed. "Kyle...I know that I accepted the fact that you can bring any woman here, but...I don't think I can tolerate this b*tch! From all the other women around, why her?!"
"Wait! I can explain!"
Gritting her teeth, while looking at Elma who was hiding behind Kyle's back, then she replied. "Fine….! So what is it?"
"Alright, first of all, she isn't what you think she is, we just met based on your reaction she seemed to know her right?"
"That's right, she lives in the same world as me!"
"Okay, then I'll go straight to the point. Elma lost her memory after coming here."
Hearing that Tohru's anger vanished, and became dumbfounded, she stared at Elma. "What? Are you sure?"
"Yeah that's right, isn't that right Elma? Hm? Elma?" He looked at her with confusion.
Elma shouted with happiness and excitement. "You! You're a dragon too right! I'm glad to meet another of my kind! I thought I was alone!"
Suddenly she hugged Tohru tight as she could. Her action made Tohru froze in the spot, making her mind blank for a moment.
"W-w-w-what is happening here?!" As Tohru snapped back from reality, she exclaimed.
