Chapter 2167: Peaceful is nice
Chapter 2167: Peaceful is nice
The time passed after the quest in the world of Toriko and everyone had been resting on their own world.
Haru was the same and he was lying lazily as he looked at the members of Muse who were practicing in the yard of his shrine. He felt that this peaceful life wasn’t bad and it was nice that he didn’t need to think about a quest, but he knew that sooner or later, the quest would appear and it made him sigh.
Haru had complex feelings about the quest, he anticipated and was quite excited with the thought of getting stronger, but at the same time, he felt reluctant to go on the quest since he needed to spend a long time there.
In the world of Toriko, even though Haru only spent a few days in that world, the truth, he spent so long on GOD since the preparation of the most delicious ingredient on that planet was tough.
Luckily, there was a time difference between the inside of GOD and the physical world so no one realized that Haru had been busy cooking for so long.
Still, this also made him realize the beauty of a normal world where he didn’t need to fight nor there was a conflict where he needed to use his power.
‘Hmm… I might be wrong…’
Haru knew that no matter where it was, there had always been a conflict and one had always fought against something, but their enemies changed. It might have been a war in the past, but it was something different now.
Still, it had nothing to do with Haru right now and he just enjoyed all the members of Muse dancing practicing right in front of him.
The temperature was slightly colder because it was winter, but even so, sweat trickled from their foreheads, necks, and their bodies, showing how serious they were at their training.
Haru’s nose moved slightly and he knew that he might be a pervert to think about something so meaningless, but he wondered why girls’ sweat smelled so nice.
When some guys sweated, they reeked of sweat, but girls’ sweets smelled sweet.
Still, Haru thought that the girls in front of him might be an exception since he also knew that there were girls who had a pretty bad smell too.
‘It might be because they’re beautiful girls?’
Haru thought for a moment and decided to check the reward that he had received.
<Congratluations, you have received “Flash”>
When Haru received this reward, he wondered whether he had the ability to manipulate light, but he was wrong.
The origin of “Flash” was similar to the origin of “Ocean” that he received and it was also coming from the world of Nanatsu no Taizai. However, unlike “Ocean,” who gave him the ability to create a different space and manipulate water.
“Flash” gave him the ability to move at immense speeds which appears as a form of teleportation.
In other words, Haru’s speed had enhanced even further.
However, Haru felt that he could develop this ability more such as using it to increase his thinking speed, his reaction speed, and other speed on his body or abilities.
There were a lot of possibilities that could be done by this ability.
However, Haru still needed to train this ability further since he knew that the quest that he would face would be dangerous since his enemy on the next quest might have an ability to alter reality.
In other words, God.
Haru might have faced GOD in the world of Toriko, but that thing was just a strong frog. As for Acacia, he didn’t think too much about this guy since Acacia was just a strong human.
That’s all, nothing else.
Still, Haru thought that some GODs were just strong humans that were revered by the people.
However, no matter whether they were human or not, GOD or not, the fact that they were strong didn’t change.
They were ridiculously strong, and Haru thought of one crazy possibility that he was about to do in the next quest.
“Haru, how long are you going to sleep!”
Umi, who had been training everyone, approached Haru, who had been laying lazily while watching them. She was so disciplined, so she couldn’t bear to watch Haru, who was just laying lazily while watching them. While she didn’t hate the feeling of being watched by him and felt happy, she didn’t want him to be lazy.
“Give me some slack, Umi. I have been busy before,” Haru said.
“Have you been busy?” Umi was surprised, but then she couldn’t help but regret scolding him since she didn’t know anything. She felt that she was a failure as a girlfriend since she didn’t notice him who was tired. “So – sorry…”
Haru smiled and said, “It’s alright, you don’t need to apologize.”
“No!” Umi shook her head and said, “I didn’t realize that you have been tired, but I have tried to scold you. You need to punish me!”
“……….”
Haru looked at Umi and wondered whether this girl was a masochist. “Then sit here.” He lifted his body and tapped the free space beside him.
“Sit?” Umi was confused, but she did what she was told. However, she was startled and her face turned red instantly. “Wh – what are you doing?”
“Lap pillow.” Haru looked at Umi with a smile and said, “As a punishment, you need to give me a lap pillow.”
“But – but… we haven’t married yet and this much of intimate action is…” Umi murmured in low voice, but then there was something that bothered her. “And… and I’m full of sweat…”
“Is it wrong if you sweat?” Haru asked.
“My – My smell isn’t good…” Umi’s face was so red and she felt that she wanted to cry right now if Haru would mock her that her smell was bad. “Le – let me go, Haru…”
Haru looked at Umi and thought about bullying her. He turned his head and smelled her stomach. “Really? But you smell really good.”
“Ha – Haru!” Umi couldn’t handle it anymore and she almost fainted since this intimate exchange between them.
“Or do you hate being with me, Umi?” Haru asked sadly.
“No – No, I didn’t hate you!” Umi quickly said.
“Then do you love me?” Haru asked while looking at Umi curiously.
“I – I love you, Haru…” Umi felt that smoke kept emitting from her head, but she could say those words clearly.
“I love you too, Umi.” Haru laughed as he hugged Umi’s wait without hesitation.
Umi looked at Haru’s actions and could only sigh as she caressed her hand against his soft hair. “Moo… this is the last time, alright? I won’t do something like this again.” She could tell that this guy had been teasing her, bullying her, but frankly, she didn’t really hate it.
“……” Haru had an urge to roll his eyes since he was sure that this girl would give him a lap pillow again as long as he asked. Also, if they were alone, then their position might change with Umi asking him to give her a lap pillow. However, personally, he loved this side of her since it was cute.
Haru and Umi were in their two people’s world until they heard a loud cough.
“Cough! Cough!”
“Haru, Umi, did you forget about our practice?”
“………”
“Er…”
