Chapter 462 ( Night Conversation )

The night had arrived, and the group had everything ready to rest.

Tents had been erected, one for Cloud and his two girls, one for Menchi, one for Shio, Sapphire and the two little ones, and finally two tents for the 4 zodiac members.

Cloud had noticed Sapphire's slight hostility towards the two little group members, but after spending some quality time with her and explaining that she had not been replaced, she calmed down and was now happily playing with the two little creatures.

The group at this time was getting ready to rest, but not before arranging shifts to prevent anything from attacking them during the night, after all, no matter how nice the place was, this garden was on top of one of the most dangerous places on the continent.

"Don't worry, I'll be on guard" - Cloud said calmly.

Of all those present, he was the one who needed rest the least thanks to his draconic blood.

"I'll accompany you" - Piyon said as her companions nodded.

"Ok, I have no problem" - Cloud replied as he shrugged his shoulders.

It was obvious that the Zodiac women wouldn't leave the blond unsupervised, least of all in a situation like this.

Cloud slowly walked to where the campfire was and sat in lotus position while closing his eyes.

Piyon walked in his direction and sat at a safe distance, in case things got a little out of hand.

"Goodnight, anything just holler" - Clook said as he looked at Piyon seriously.

The bunny girl nodded calmly as she watched everyone get into their respective tents, at least everyone but Mimi and Sora who quickly sat on Cloud's legs and head respectively.

Piyon had to admit it was a strange, but at the same time harmonious scene, though she quickly shook her head.

She had her guard up, but at the same time she could feel her eyelids starting to get heavy.

She along with her companions, were tired after all the ordeals they had to go through, after all, this mountain had many more dangers than she thought, to the point that one could say it was like an introductory mission before going to the [Dark Continent].

Piyon again shook her head as she started to think about everything that had happened during the last few hours, only to notice how Cloud was still with his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping.

This caused a huge annoyance in the woman, after all, it was a blow to her feminine pride that someone would ignore her despite her beauty.

She wasn't interested in Cloud, but at the same time she thought that the blond's attitude towards her person, left much to be desired.

"Do you need anything?" - Cloud asked as he opened one eye in boredom.

He had felt the annoyance growing in the rabbit-eared woman.

"You could at least talk to me" - Piyon said as she folded her arms - "It's rude, not paying attention to a lady."

Cloud slowly closed his eyes, but not before shooting her a bored look.

"What?" - Piyon asked as she frowned.

"Nothing" - Cloud replied as he went back to musing.

Piyon stared at him for a few seconds before shaking her head and pulling a book out of her bag.

Slowly time continued to move on, a moment Piyon couldn't stand it any longer - "Could you at least say something to me!"

"Speak quieter, the girls are sleeping" - Cloud replied while keeping his eyes closed.

". . ." - Piyon could barely resist the urge to tear his hair out because of the words Cloud had said, though she had to calm herself down because she knew she couldn't yell - "Ok, can we talk something?"

"Ok" - Cloud replied as he opened his eyes and looked carefully at the woman - "What do you want to talk about?"

"I don't know, you could tell me a little about yourself" - replied Piyon with boredom.

"There's not much I can tell, I mean, I've already told you more than enough" - Cloud answered as he started to think - "Let's see, I'm immune to many elements, what are they? That you'll have to find out for yourself."

"You practically told me nothing" - Piyon snorted as she folded her arms - "You could at least tell me your dreams, your likes, your dislikes, something more person."

". . ." - Cloud gave her a look before sighing - "Ok, let's see, where could I start?"

"Your parents?" - Piyon asked as she cocked her head to the side.

Cloud was silent before looking up at the sky - "My parents were more human than you think, my mother was a wonderful female, she took care of me during my most fragile moments, even to the point of giving me some of her vitality."

Cloud was trying to change the details of his life as a human to fit with his life as a [magical beast].

"Was it?" - Piyon asked in surprise, only to notice Cloud's expression darken - "Was it?"

"She died with using too much of her vitality" - Cloud replied with a dark expression as his gaze sharpened - "She fought all my young life because my father was after her for her race so he could have strong offspring, but seeing that she was born weak, he abandoned us, only to return when he heard that I had grown so quickly in my power level."

"What happened next?" - Piyon asked curiously.

"I devoured him" - Cloud answered coolly, and although this was a lie, he truly wished he could.

". . ." - Piyon was silent when she heard this, after all, she didn't know how to react to this - "Don't you feel remorse for devouring your father?"

"I never considered him my father, he was just a DNA donor" - Cloud answered neutrally - "But well, I think we'd better change the subject".

"OK" - nodded Piyon calmly - "Tell me, what are your tastes?"

"I don't have very specific tastes" - Cloud replied as his expression relaxed slightly - "I like to eat meat of all varieties, especially those that are draconic in origin."

"Cannibalism?" - Piyon asked in surprise, only to frown.

"Something normal is the 'beasts'" - said Cloud with disdain, only to notice the forced smile on the rabbit-eared woman's lips.

"Okay, I get it" - Piyon said awkwardly - "I'm sorry I've been treating you like an animal."

"What I said about how I ate dragons, it's a normal thing because from the dragons' point of view, all living things are food, more so for my race that has [devouring] as an ability" - Cloud replied calmly - "And before you say something else, no, I don't plan on devouring humans."

"That's a relief to hear, but I still can't say I believe you" - replied Piyon seriously - "I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize" - Cloud replied calmly as he started to think - "I think it's your turn to tell me something about yourself."

"Huh? Oh, that makes sense" - nodded Piyon as she cocked her head to the side - "I don't know what I can tell you, though."

"What kind of [Slayer] you are, that's a good indication" - Cloud replied calmly.

"Well period, let's see, I'm a member of the information division, and although it sounds very proud of me, I'm an expert in handling computers and various technologies" - Piyon replied proudly - "These cute ears I created them myself, they even look like the real thing, don't they?"

Cloud looked at Piyon's ears and noticed how they moved without her doing anything about it.

Slowly, he brought his hand up to the ears and caressed them gently, not noticing how Piyon's cheeks flushed as her body trembled slightly.

The rabbit ears she was wearing could detect her mood changes, and this was because they were connected directly to her nerve receptors, almost perfectly simulating the effect of normal ears, minus the fact that they couldn't be used for listening for the obvious reason that if she did, the information overload might be too much.

Cloud quickly stepped back, only to notice how Sora was looking at him and wiggling her ears, as if she was saying that she wanted him to pet them too.

"Ok, you jealous little girl" - Cloud said with a small smile as he started petting the little doe.

"Kyu ~!" - Sora seemed to be enjoying the blond's affection, not noticing how Piyon was looking at her with jealousy, though whether this was because of how nice Cloud was being to Sora, or because of how the little Jackalope was being so submissive to Cloud, was unknown.

"What else can you tell me?" - Cloud asked calmly as he gave Piyon a look.

"Let's see, despite my looks, and my relationship with rabbits, I don't like carrots, in fact, I don't eat many vegetables" - Piyon said as she started to think - "I like a lot of things, but I don't think you'd be interested in them."

"We have time, we can talk about it calmly" - answered Cloud as he opened his eyes and looked carefully at the woman.

"Well, you're right" - nodded Pyon calmly - "But I say one thing, and you mention one of yours""Sounds good to me" - nodded Cloud as he continued to pet Sora.
