Chapter 18 - Sacrifice
Kira didn't know why but he suddenly felt thrilled. Maybe because this was the first time this squirrel seemingly had such a faint hint of hesitation in her eyes. For goodness' sake, this squirrel never showed even a tiny bit of reaction towards me and yet she's reacting like this with this damn cheap sandwich?! Was she trying to tell me that this sandwich was better than the flawlessly handsome me?!!!
Frustration and thrill were fighting within Kira. He was thrilled about the fact that this girl was finally reacting but frustrated to hell that a sandwich just beat him. Damn it!! Calm down, don't sweat it! There's no way that a sandwich could beat you. She was surely reacting like this because she's hungry and that the handsome me was the one offering this damn sandwich. The most important thing was that she's finally showing something. This is a good start…
Kira forced himself to stay calm as he waited for her to succ.u.mb to his 'handsome x sandwich' seduction move.
However, just as he raised his expectation that he was going to definitely win over her this time, the girl suddenly averted her gaze.
"Never mind, I don't want it." she said with a straight tone, causing Kira to close his eyes as his veins began to pop again from too much frustration.
"Tch! Stop pretending, I know you want this. C'mon, don't be shy. You can't let that growling creature inside your stomach growl again, you know." Kira still persisted and Zeri looked at him again. When Kira tried to brushed the other tip of the sandwich to tease her again, Zeri raised her hand and all of a sudden…
She shoved the sandwich in his mouth, causing Kira's eyes to widen almost looking like they were going to fly out of their sockets. The surprise was too much for him that he almost stumbled back on his own feet.
"I said I don't want it. Even if I take it, it won't be enough to satisfy me and fill my stomach. I already gave that to you so you should respect it and eat it," she said with a straight, almost monotone, voice while Kira could do nothing but slowly chew the sandwich in his mouth in a daze. He covered his mouth with the back of his hand as he looked at her in great disbelief.
"I sacrificed my sandwich so you would forgive me from pinching you too hard a while ago. So we now we're even, okay? I'm going to find some more food. Bye." Before Kira could react, the girl already dashed away and he could almost see the smoke she created from her turbo speed.
Looking at the direction where she had disappeared to, Kira seemed to have gone limp as he sat on the bench. He was still chewing the food in his mouth as he slowly shook his head. He looked like he was in lethal shock. Never in his life had someone ever dared to shove food into his mouth. Not until this uns.e.xy little damn squirrel appeared in his life.
By the time he finally swallowed the food in his mouth, Kira stood up with his hands on his hip. He was so damn frustrated he didn't even know what to do. He simply walked back and forth with an extremely pissed look. What the hell just happened?! That squirrel shoved food in my mouth?!! And she even called that sandwich a sacrifice?!!! Ha. Ha. Ha. Squirrell!! What the hell!!!!!
