Kopii couldn't take his eyes off the stranger's face. Her face held a smirk, and her eyes held anticipation. Kopii squinted as his grip tightened, but not too much - he could still get rid of her at any moment, considering the fact that the person in front of him wasn't an adventurer, but… a goddess. But before he could open his mouth, she cut him off:
"Ooo~, look who it is!"
The goddess pulled him into her embrace. Before he could do anything, his face was buried between her charms. Quickly realizing his position, Kopii froze, unsure of what to do. His face rapidly flushed red.
"That's not fair! I can't feel anything! Damn it, this is unfair… But even so, what a beautiful sight!"
Kopii heard Kane's voice change its tone too quickly. But that wasn't important now, he decided to get rid of this overly embarrassing scene.
"You're even cuter than we thought."
But before he could do anything, he heard a voice, and then felt a touch. Feeling an impressive bust, Kopii felt his face turn red to the tips of his ears.
"You became even cuter when you blushed… Just perfect!"
"What a cutie."
The goddess placed her hands on his cheeks and raised his face, now they were looking each other in the eyes. But Kopii couldn't hold the gaze for long and involuntarily lowered his eyes. He wished he hadn't, because a view of her large cleavage opened before him.
"Ha-ha-ha, how beautiful, simply perfect! Lean forward, Kopii! Lean towards paradise! Just one step! Come ooooon! Don't hesitate!"
"Ah, cutie~."
The goddess hugged his head and gently stroked it. Because of the embrace, Kopii found himself between her breasts.
"Yesssss! This is what paradise is! Aha-ha!"
"I-I… I c-can't b-breathe."
"What a red little voice you have. Simply charming~."
"Hey, can't you see he's uncomfortable with you! Get lost!"
Before Kopii could say anything, another goddess snatched him into her embrace. Before Kopii could say anything, she leaned into his ear and whispered:
"Silence is consent."
He felt a shiver run down his spine as her hot breath touched his ear.
"I-I-I…"
Before he could come to his senses, she continued again, starting to squeeze him tighter.
"Do you like it? If so, join my family… and all your fantasies will come true."
"Coooome oooooon, Kopii, agree! Just imagine, hee-hee!"
"Why should he join you!? Huh?! Either way, he'll be better off with me. Right~."
Starting to pull him to her side.
"N-n-no! He wants to join me!"
Starting to pull him in different directions until they both bumped foreheads. Kopii realized one thing: if looks could kill, they would destroy each other.
"Let him choose where he wants to go. Well, of course, we both know the answer."
"Oh, come on! Who will you choose, cutie…?"
…
…
Kopii ran away.
"It's all your fault!"
"The hell it is!?"
"Well, what else could I expect from a loser? What a disappointment."
"Can't you just shut up? Willing to sell everything for boobs."
"To each their own. And most importantly, I admit it, unlike some. Let's not point fingers."
"You think I'm like you? You're wrong. I… You're just lust, and you can't exist without me."
"Oh, how we're talking now? If it weren't for me, you would be killed, you wouldn't be able to raise your level so quickly, you would even be raped."
"I didn't ask you for help."
"A-ha-ha. Yes, you didn't ask me for help, you begged me for it. Or have you forgotten?"
"That's enough! Are you going to start this pointless argument again?!"
"You started it."
"Oh, okay, I admit that I started this argument, happy?"
"Of course… You see, thanks to me, you were able to learn to admit your mistakes. If it weren't for me, who would have taught you that? Do you understand?"
"Yeah, yeah."
Slowly calming down, he quickened his pace, but stopped abruptly, looking around the streets where he was, and, most importantly, wondering why he was here.
"Huh!? Where was I going?" he thought, frantically trying to remember where he was going, and, most importantly, why. His face strained more and more in an effort to remember the reason.
"How nice."
He couldn't remember where he was going - probably because the goddesses and the argument that started made everything fly out of his head. Looking at Aiz, who was devouring all the food he had prepared for the whole day, eating it all at once, Kopii asked:
"Aiz, can I ask a question?"
"Yes."
"You eat so much, but why don't you get fat?"
…
…
"I don't know. Maybe it's because I spend a lot of time in the dungeon or training. Probably because of that."
"Yeah, probably… You know, I have a very good idea."
Waiting for her to give him her full attention, Kopii smiled slightly and continued:
"Let me teach you how to cook. What do you think?"
"… I don't know."
"No, think about it. If you like my food so much that you come to such a… place every day, I emphasize, every day, just to eat."
"I don't…"
"Yes, I know that you come to find out the truth."
Cutting her off, Kopii saw a contradiction reflected on her face. He roughly guessed what she was thinking about. Probably, she herself doesn't admit that she comes here to eat.
"How blackheartedski cuteooo!"
Kopii couldn't agree with Kane for the first time, because when Aiz's eyebrows were frowned, and she was slowly stroking her chin, letting him know that she was seriously thinking. The longer he looked at her, the more he realized that she was just like him. At their first meeting, he always thought she was cold and aloof, but then he realized that she simply, in simple words, can't express her feelings correctly. Or is this his assumption?
"Okay, if you don't want to. Oh, nothing to worry about."
"No, I… can't cook… and when I was taught… I wasn't good at it."
"They just didn't try to teach you. But I…"
"You?"
"Me."
"You… I can try."
"A-ha-ha, I knew you'd agree! Let's not waste any time and start right away."
Getting up from the bed, Kopii took an apron and approached Aiz, handing it to her. After hesitating a little, she held out her hand, took the apron and put it on.
"Let's start."
"…Yes, let's start."
Kopii was, of course, skeptical about her words, because she is a genius who appears once every thousand years, and she has no talent for cooking.
"Let's cook one dish, and then compare who did what. Of course, I'll help you."
Thirty minutes later, Kopii couldn't believe his eyes. They cooked together, he helped her every second, but when he turned away for a second, everything went wrong.
"Well, I think this is…maybe edible. I'll try."
"Oh, of course. You can try."
"When did you manage to do this?"
Before he could even try, Aiz was already eating what he had prepared. She just glanced at him and started eating faster.
"Where are you rushing to?" Kopii thought, taking a spoon to try. But he hesitated, carefully examining the contents of the spoon.
"Is this really safe to eat?" he thought, glancing at Aiz, but no matter how hard she tried not to look at him, pretending that all her attention was focused on the food. But he noticed how she stopped to see his reaction. Realizing this, he had no way back.
"Oh, normal… But you know, there is something to strive for. So we will cook every day, even for thirty minutes - that's a good thing."
"Okay, well, I'm full, so let's go sparring."
Today, he was able to resist for quite a long time. If he didn't even touch her with his finger, it doesn't matter, the main thing is progress, even if it's so small.
"Ha-ha-ha, you could have not hit my head so hard."
Slightly rising to his knees, he saw a dish and a note on the chair.
"Enjoy your meal".
Looking at this dish, he saw that it was almost no different from her first, but even so he ate it all, even if it was disgusting. But even so, this was the first time a girl had cooked for him. Just like that.
He didn't count Naaza, because they are one family.
