Chapter 300: Captured a Hachimi
Inside Kenji's small dimension.
Munch, munch, munch...
A thousand Tibats were lying on the Sun Jewel Meat, feasting with big bites. The sound of chewing echoed, leaving one... speechless.
Kenji covered his face. The attraction seemed a bit too strong. But it was also heartbreaking. These Tibats had never eaten anything good before they left this world.
After more than 30 million reincarnations, the number of Tibats who died must be immense, probably more than all the Fire Seeds combined.
Smack!
The main Tibat covered her face. Although the aroma had an irresistible temptation, stirring her soul and shaking her mind, she managed to restrain herself. She didn't pounce on it like the other Tibats. That would be too embarrassing.
Besides, when the other Tibats ate, she could sync her senses with them. That way, she wouldn't get her clothes all greasy.
"Let's go, Elysia."
Kenji left Tibat here. Even if they ate for a thousand years, they couldn't possibly finish all the ingredients in this dimension.
"Hachimi, Hachimi, Hachimi..."
Kenji walked the streets of Aohma, searching for his "Hachimi" (Lush Jazz Cat). Curiosity killed the cat. Sephir had come to Aohma, so she'd have to obediently accept a collar.
If Aglaia knew she had sold the house cat she'd raised for so long, would she cry and throw a fit?
A fluffy "Hachimi" tail dangled from the eaves, swaying, just like baiting a trap.
Sniff, sniff...
"Meow~"
Sephir, who was sunbathing, twitched her nose. An excited expression appeared on her face, and she let out a happy cry, rolling around on the roof.
What's that smell, meow? It smells so good, meow!
Kenji dangled a crystal-clear, emerald-green plant in his hand. This was a special Jade Catnip from the Gourmet World, a mineral that could attract many large felines, emitting an allure far more potent than ordinary catnip.
"Meow~ Meow~ Meow~"
The "Demigod of Cunning" was now no different from a cute, spoiled cat. She even showed her belly, her eyes closed, her face flushed with excitement and pleasure.
"It's that strong?"
Kenji hadn't expected this. After he put the catnip away, Sephir flailed her limbs and subconsciously said, "Don't go, don't... meow?"
Sephir opened her eyes and saw Kenji's teasing smile.
"How dare you tease me."
But... it smelled so good. The scent of catnip lingered on Kenji, making her want to get closer. She had to use all her willpower to barely control herself.
"Sephalia, is it?"
Kenji took out the contract. It was time to collect. The pet cat was his.
"You know me?" Sephir was surprised. Did Aglaia tell him? That's the only possibility.
"This is the contract Aglaia signed. You're my Hachimi now."
Kenji handed the contract to Sephir. Aglaia thought it was just for an ordinary cat, not the cat she had raised for so long.
Sephir scanned it quickly, her eyes wide. She said in a trembling voice, "How is this possible? How could she sell me!"
"This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
The handwriting was too familiar. It couldn't be a forgery. Sephir refused to accept the truth. This must be a genjutsu!
No! A world of despair... the north wind blows...
Seamstress, why would you do this to me!
At this moment, the heartbroken cat was like a frostbitten eggplant, completely wilted. The contract had dealt her a 100% critical hit.
Kenji quietly watched Sephir's performance.
Good chance! (Sephir's thoughts) A cat has 800 tricks. Playing pitiful is part of the plan. Even if that 'seamstress' signed this stupid contract, it has nothing to do with me.
We'll never meet again! Goodbye!
Cling!
A coin was tossed by Sephir. Her figure vanished, and the contract disappeared with her.
"Yare yare."
Kenji shook his head. He knew this would happen. Sephir wouldn't just give in.
"Time, reverse."
He didn't chase, just stood there and reversed Sephir's time. The vanished Sephir was rewound right back to him.
"Areh?"
Sephir, still holding the coin, rigidly lifted her head to look at Kenji's "kind" smile.
I was already in Xuanfeng City! How am I back in Aohma?!
Even Oronis's authority can't do this!
"Ahem... good afternoon. Have you eaten?" Sephir coughed, her voice weak, her blue pupils darting around cautiously.
"Nope. Are you treating?" Kenji replied. Even all the food on Omphalos combined couldn't fill him up.
"I left the kettle on! Gotta go!"
Sephir tossed the coin again, vanishing. This time I'm going to Styksia! I refuse to believe you can bring me back again!
"Tsk, so hasty."
Kenji used the same trick. Sephir "rewound" back, coming face-to-face with Kenji in a "loving" gaze.
"You *** (Omphalos curse words)!"
Sephir was speechless. Are you f*ing kidding me? You just have to mess with me, don't you?
At this moment, she felt like the Monkey King trapped under the Five-Finger Mountain. All her divine powers were useless.
Dammit, I'm done playing! 'Seamstress,' I'm coming for you!
Sephir just wanted to find Mama Aglaia for comfort and protection.
"ZA—WARUDO!"
Sephir had just activated her ability when Kenji, instead of reversing time, used the almighty Time Stop.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Time resumed. Kenji grabbed Sephir's head with one hand and lifted her gently.
He'd had practice from lifting Pardofelis (Cat) twice. The "feel" of both cats was top-notch, especially their ears.
Sephir resisted for a few seconds, then just went limp.
"This feeling... it's so familiar... Did that 'little prince' (Wandi) teach you that?"
Suddenly, she felt Kenji's grip was familiar. This wasn't her first time... When she was caught by Wandi, she was lifted just like this. To experience it again after so many years, but in this situation... it gave her mixed feelings.
"Self-taught."
"Captured one Hachimi."
Kenji dangled Sephir, deftly slipping the collar onto her neck. Now Sephir was his Hachimi.
AglaIA had basically asked him to 'cuck' her. He had to go show this off.
"Who are you calling Hachimi!" Sephir pulled at the collar, but couldn't break it.
"This thing... it's not going to suddenly shock me, is it?"
"Yoohoo~ The Hachimi knows her stuff. If you want it, I could add that feature."
"I don't want it! Hentai!"
Sephir had seen how "wild" those nobles played. Whips and candles were the basic setup. The more depraved... it was monstrous.
