Chapter 47
Let Me Have a Bite
After a long while, Rize's nose suddenly twitched, and after smelling a familiar scent, she slowly opened her eyes.
She then struggled to move toward the source of the smell; if she didn't eat soon, she would die!
Rize, who had struggled for a while to reach the basin, looked at the not-so-fresh flesh and blood and began to devour it without hesitation.
As flesh and blood were ingested, Rize's internal organs gradually grew back, and she regained some strength. However, her severed limbs did not have enough energy to continue growing.
Just as she was about to eat more, she discovered that she had already finished eating all the flesh and blood in the bowl.
"I want to eat, I want to eat something, Kaneki! And that delicious food, I know you're here, come and let me have a bite, just one bite!"
"I'd do anything if you just let me have a bite."
Back in her room, Akiyama Rinko looked at the large bed in the middle with a somewhat awkward expression, feeling a mix of emotions—wanting to go out but also looking forward to it.
Hyuga Gen quickly noticed her expression and knew that she must have accepted what happened that afternoon, otherwise she wouldn't be as obedient to him as usual.
Furthermore, judging from Akane Nanao's behavior, her affection level should increase even faster after they have a relationship.
Thinking of this, Hinata Gen took off his clothes right in front of Akiyama Rinko and swaggered into the bathroom in the room.
"Hyuga-sama!"
Upon seeing this, Akiyama Rinko cried out and quickly covered her eyes, only removing her hands after the footsteps had stopped.
"Hyuga-sama, really, how can you leave your clothes lying around like that?"
Looking at the clothes that had been thrown on the floor, a hint of helplessness flashed in Akiyama Rinko's eyes. She walked over and picked them up one by one, putting them together. Then she turned around and tidied up the bed.
As Hyuga Gen, who was already taking a shower in the bathroom, thought about his earlier probing and a smile appeared on his lips.
Having just taken a shower before coming out in the afternoon, Akiyama Rinko had no desire to take a shower now. The battle just now didn't even qualify as a warm-up, let alone leave her sweating.
Seeing that it was getting late, Akiyama Rinko used a few teleports to return to Hinata Gen's apartment.
After entering Hyuga Gen's room, ignoring Nanao Akane lying on the bed staring at him with wide eyes, he picked up his bedding and teleported back to Hyuga Gen's villa.
As soon as she was teleported back, Akiyama Rinko felt her legs go weak and she almost fell to the ground. She also felt extremely sleepy.
Feeling that her magical energy was nearing depletion and knowing that she had overexerted herself today, Rinko Akiyama forced herself to lay out her bedding on the ground despite her exhaustion, then took off her combat suit and crawled inside.
When Hinata Gen came out of the bathroom, he saw Akiyama Rinko sleeping on a makeshift bed on the floor, wrapped tightly in a blanket.
After walking over to Akiyama Rinko's side, Hinata Gen listened to the soft snoring beside him and did not intend to disturb her. He took a pillow from the bed and lay down on the floor as well.
Meanwhile, Mingming, who was walking down the street with crows flying everywhere, was grinding her teeth in frustration. She had no idea where her employer had gone, and no one answered her phone.
In the middle of the night, Rinko Akiyama was half asleep when she suddenly felt someone kick her, and she was instantly wide awake.
Turning around, I saw that it was Hyuga Gen, who was fast asleep. He was only wearing his underwear and was curled up as if he was very cold.
"Why is Hyuga-sama on the ground, and completely naked?"
Seeing this, Akiyama Rinko's heart softened. After some hesitation, she gave half of her blanket to Hyuga Gen, completely forgetting that she herself was not wearing any clothes at the moment.
It wasn't until she covered Hinata Gen's head that Akiyama Rinko noticed this. Just as she was about to leave, she found herself being wrapped around the waist by a pair of strong arms.
The sudden turn of events caused Akiyama Rinko's body to stiffen. Then, a white light instinctively appeared on her right hand, but it dimmed again in an instant, and her body slowly relaxed.
Turning her head to look at Hyuga Gen, who was sleeping peacefully, Akiyama Rinko couldn't help but wonder if he was really asleep or just pretending.
Rinko Akiyama felt sleepy again. Seeing that she was being held so tightly that she couldn't get away, she had no choice but to resign herself to her fate and closed her eyes again, falling into a deep sleep.
"Stop fooling around!"
"Bang bang"
The next morning, Gen Hyuga was awakened by a knock on the door. He first glanced at the empty bed, then called out:
"Who is it, so early in the morning?"
The butler's voice soon rang out from outside the door.
"Young Master, weren't you supposed to attend the banquet hosted by the Suzuki Foundation on the Elizabeth today? Mr. Shiro Suzuki just called to ask when you're leaving, saying he couldn't get through to your phone."
Hearing the butler's reminder, Hyuga Gen remembered that he still had to attend that banquet today, so he yawned and said:
"The exhibition? Oh, I remember now. Butler, please tell Uncle Suzuki that I'll definitely be there on time, so he doesn't need to worry."
"Yes, young master. I'll go prepare breakfast for you now. Is there anything you'd like to eat this morning?"
"I want to eat instant noodles, the rest is fine as usual."
"...Okay, it's ready for you."
Although the housekeeper didn't know what was so good about instant noodles, he still agreed.
After the butler left, Hyuga Gen stroked his chin and muttered to himself:
"As a noble among demons, isn't it a bit beneath me to eat instant noodles for breakfast? But for some reason, I really want to eat them this morning."
After standing up, Hyuga Gen remembered that the butler had mentioned that his phone was unreachable. So he picked up his phone from the bedside table and saw that it had run out of battery.
Not long after I plugged my phone in to charge, Mingming called.
"Hey? Hinata-kun, why did it take you so long to answer the phone? Do you know how worried I was about the money, oh no, how worried I was about you? I couldn't reach you all night and I thought you'd been kidnapped."
As Hinata Gen listened to Mingming's tone on the other end of the phone, which was clearly suppressing her anger but trying to appear normal, he couldn't help but feel ashamed. He had really forgotten about her.
"Sorry, Mingming-jie, my phone died last night. I'm at my villa in Japan right now. Don't worry, I'm safe with Rinko here."
Hearing Hinata Gen say that he was alright, Mingming breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was a little afraid of Hinata Gen's strange abilities, she still cared more about Hinata Gen's safety, after all, that was money.
