Chapter 213: Dinner {213}
Time skip.
Keitaro walked through the grand hallways of the hotel, his eyes gazing at the infrastructure of the hotel.
This place looks quite pretty.
Akane in the meantime could be seen lazily lounging on his shoulder.
She purred softly, her tails swaying behind her as they passed the staff, who didnt seem to notice the six-tail fox.
Akane was paying more attention to her surroundings and increasing her illusion-making power.
She needed to get better at her illusion-making skills if she needed to trick Satoru's six eyes, Satoru was improving at an alarming rate. The tricks she had used earlier couldn't help now, Satoru six eyes would be able to see through them like they were an open book.
As he reached the door to their room, Keitaro slipped the key into the lock, he slowly turned it before opening the door.
The room was quite spacious, it was filled with luxurious furniture and the same classic elegance that radiated throughout the hotel.
To his surprise, Shoko was already in the bed, layed out. Looking like she was getting ready to take a nap.
Well dam, she was quick.
Keitaro raised an eyebrow. "How did you get in here before me?" He asked slightly amused.
Shoko not even looking up at him, her eyes gazing at the ceiling as if she was high off some shrooms.
She lazily waved her hand in his direction. "They gave me my own key," She replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Keitaro chuckled. "Figures."
He should have expected this, Shoko's name was also on the list, plus he quite literally came here with her.
He placed his bag down before walking toward the bed, he looked at her with a soft smile.
"Hope you're ready to enjoy this trip."
Shoko had a smile on her face, she was planning on enjoying it.
Akane on the other hand jumped on the bed, she trotted her way toward Shoko's lap before curling herself into a ball and falling asleep there.
Though Keitaro couldn't help but notice the way Akane nose seemed to be moving as she took in Shoko's scent.
He could also see the way, Akane was subduedly taking some of Shoko's curse energy and natural energy as if she was getting familiar with it.
That was good, so if someone were to somehow get Shoko out of his sensing range...which considering how well he knew Shoko was about 10 to 15 kilometers away.
And if somehow this was too small, he had a seal on her which he could sense even if she was 3 continents away.
Even if she was on the moon...It was a special seal...he was protective of her, it wasn't his fault he had about 15 different safety protocols for her.
...That was also not ignoring the fact that he existed.....even if the person who tried something was a six-eye.
She fell asleep a bit after that, Keitaro stretched his body a bit, after sitting inside of a plane for hours on end.
He was feeling like stretching his leg muscles a bit, it was always good to do some stretching.
Walking somewhere he knew he wouldn't make too much noise.
Keitaro started with a light stretch, he then did some squats, moved his shoulder around a bit, and then did a handstand.
He wanted to make sure his muscles were relaxed but worked up enough so that he did not get any tears when he started to move around.
He was sure he could stimulate that feeling using curse energy, however he much rather do it himself.
It felt much better to him anyway and he wouldn't have it any other way.
After doing his stretch, he decided to go take a bath, self-explanatory enough.
Changing into some much more comfy outfit.
...
....
As he fully finished putting on his clothes, from the corner of his eyes, he noticed what seemed to be a little pamphlet talking about souper, it seemed to be starting soon.
He dried his hair a bit using his own control over a flame...yes, he went into sage mode to dry his hair, it wasn't that big of a deal.
Anytime he wanted to master a skill, he would find a way to use it in his everyday life so that he could master it faster.
Having the motion for healing down was the most important thing, he had that down, now he just needed a way to somehow have some control over the flame without standing around for 10 seconds.
"Shoko..get up, Souper is in 30 minutes"
He gently shook the girl currently lying on the bed.
"....let me sleep...."
"Come on"
"Can't it wait a bit more.."
A dry chuckle escapes his lips.
"Oh I heard they served some of the best wine here, a shame you won't be able to taste it"
Shoko eyes flutter open nearly immediately at the mention of wine.
She was predictable.
As she gazed at the side of the bed, her eyes met with Keitaro. His spiky blond hair seemed more tamed than usual, he probably had just washed them a few minutes ago.
His azure eyes gazed at her with warmth so warm that she could feel herself melt a bit, he was wearing a black turtle neck sweater.
His grandma's necklace was wrapped around his neck, she could barely make out the necklace behind hidden under the turtle neck sweater.
