Chapter 24: The alluring charm of a succubus
«Itsu, you're really incredible! Next time I want to fight you too!» Chantal exclaims.
She's completely overexcited.
Before, she looked at Itsu like a strong rival.
But now, her admiration has grown so much that she nearly worships him like a god.
Hakuto, Rika, Chantal, and Itsu are sitting at the table in a private room at Cordesol Meat, the luxurious South American restaurant chain that just opened in Ashiya.
The table is set for five, but one seat remains empty.
The fifth guest warned he'd be late because of prior commitments.
«Yeah, even though old Tendo's strength is complete nonsense... for a moment I really thought I could beat him. But he just played around the whole time... If I had minded my own business, I could be enjoying this free dinner properly...» Itsu replies.
He's still in pain and visibly bruised, even though more than three hours have passed since the fight ended—and despite the fact that vampires have strong regenerative abilities.
Hakuto watches them with a grim expression.
The power scale he had imagined has been completely overturned this afternoon.
