Peace of Mind

Rachel woke up the next day after having slept soundly, within her mind were not the thoughts of what happened yesterday, just that it had been a long time since she slept this nicely.

Her chipset re-started and she opened her interface to look at the amount of digital cash she had, together with what she had in cash, would be enough to cover the expenses thanks to Morpheus.

She didn't forget to give a single prayer of thanks before tidying up and departing her room.

What she found at the other side of her room, wasn't so surprising.

For one she saw Sarah sitting on the couch with her legs crossed and two swollen cheeks, the thing is... they looked recent.

And humming in the kitchen with an apron was Morpheus, cooking something, and what he's cooking smells incredibly nice.

"Good Morning, Rachel... excuse my modesty for using your food, when do you usually prepare your stall?" He asked without turning around, the two females assumed he was using the kitchen, neither of the two noticed how the pan was slightly reddish on its own as he moved it.

No gas or electricity was being used, only divinity.

"Good Morning, Grandma." Sarah didn't say much and evaded Rachel's gaze, still blaming her for this bastard's presence in their house.

"Good morning, I don't mind sweetheart, you shouldn't have bothered yourself... in two hours I should be down there... I didn't think you knew how to cook..." She even walked up to him just to make sure that he wasn't going to burn the house.

"Why is that so?" He inquired as he moved the frying pan around.

"Well... you didn't even know where you were standing~" She giggled and took a seat, giving her granddaughter a sidelong glance, she had never seen her this calm in the morning, she wasn't even wearing her 'jaws'.

It was then that she moved her gaze to the frying pan and gaped.

'Eh?'

"W-What are you doing?" She asked more with shock in between than actual bewilderment, if he doesn't have enhancements, how is he doing this!?

Did he lie?

"This is a magic trick of sorts, don't bother... I'm going to finish and then we can move the stall." He tried to not explain too much, with all the wonders that technology itself can accomplish, surely this small thing is not too surprising.

And indeed, she just assumed he's using some mysterious means.

"Are you going to remain with me?" She asked hopefully, it'd be reassuring to have him around with her in the stall, it isn't safe all the time.

"No, I need to go somewhere..." He had nowhere to go, but he wanted to look for a peaceful place to study the chips.

"Tha's sad... Sarah, and you? why are you here still?" She then finally addressed her granddaughter, a little nervous.

But before she could even answer, Morpheus opened his mouth again.

"Your good for nothing granddaughter is hungry and doesn't know how to cook, so I had to actually cook for her after what she tried to pull of, can you believe that?"

"..." The girl just clenched her hands tightly and said nothing else, indeed... today they had a 'rough' start.

When Morpheus woke up he had one leg on the couch and one outside the couch, however, there was something heavier on top of him.

He immediately glanced at the big pair of jugs in front of his face, however... the visage wasn't too reassuring, because the beauty sat on his crotch with her hands fiercely trying to strangle him, not having a good result apparently.

"..." He sighed and glared at her a little as she continued to squeeze her robotic arms tighter and tighter around his neck, but that damned neck isn't bending!

She saw that he woke up and grit her teeth "You have an enhanced neck don't you! it has to be!"

She hadn't seen many cyborgs with enhanced necks, it's one of the most complicated parts of the body to enhance mostly due to the connections between the many systems of the body.

Moreover, his doesn't look mechanical at all.

Even as his eyes opened to glare at hers, she didn't stop squeezing.

*SLAPP!!!*

He slapped her, softer now than before but her face was once again flung aside, taking the chance he then exchanged places and sat on her stomach, pinning her two robotic hands against the couch!

She couldn't believe she was this powerless!

"YOU!!"

*SLAP!!*"

He slapped her again, harder until the red turned slightly purplish.

"HOW DAR-!"

*SLAP!*

"I"

*SLAP!*

"STO-"

*SLAP!*

"..."

By the time she got the gist of the 'game', her cheeks were already burning.

Yesterday she told him that she would get her boyfriend to beat him up, but it was nothing more than words, she does have a boyfriend but he's weaker than her, mainly because he only has one enhanced arm while she has two...

Be it as it may, her poisonous gaze locked his, wondering what kind of enhancements he has to overpower her so easily, it might be corporation or military enhancements, only they get them so much stronger than the public market.

Seeing her reluctance, he stood up from her stomach, he had been wearing just small shorts and a small shirt together with her bra, no sight of the hideous jaws.

After holding her cheeks for a few seconds, she stood up and got on guard, preparing to have a serious fight.

She started with a jab, but it got quickly returned to her, he didn't even need to use magic.

The exchanges continued with her getting her face demolished each time until finally, he just countered her fist with a fist of his own.

*BAANG!*

The firsts clashed and hers immediately released some sparks and got flung aside!

!!!

*PAA!*

His first impacted her chest and sent her harshly against the wall where he took her neck and even lifted her up.

!!!

He's too strong...

"IF YOU WEREN'T RACHEL'S GRANDDAUGHTER, FOR THIS... I WOULD HAVE ALREADY KILLED YOU..."

"..."

*COUGH!!*

*COUGH!!*

She coughed when her neck got released, thankfully he didn't punch her had enough to bleed, but still, she could feel how her cyborg's arm got slightly damaged there.

Morpheus didn't even need an enhancement spell... before becoming a god, he was a six-winged archangel... after attaining godhood his race increased in rank, attaining him ten wings... although these bionic bodies could indeed make him struggle a little, they're far from being able to create a heavy wound on his body, at least not these ones she has.

Sarah didn't say anything else and just retreated back to her room, stumbling.

Perhaps, she and her boyfriend together would be able to do it? she wasn't too hopeful.

She came down not too late afterwards and saw him cooking, she decided to stay and eat since she's hungry, she's staying in their house, surely he will allow her to have some food, right?

**

**

And so, the trio ate, and the two females marvelled at the taste of this food.

Bacon-Wrapped Chiken Breasts.

"I'm off... thanks for the food..." Sarah threw Morpheus a deep glare before putting back her hideous jaws and leaving after covering herself in her hoody.

"Who are you leaving that plate there for?"

!!!

The girl that was almost departing through the door literally felt her soul leave her body... she looked back only to see those cold eyes glaring at her.

After gulping a good one in and remembering the beating that she got, she walked back to the house, took her plates and cleaned them before making her way out again.

"Aren't you going to say your farewells to your hardworking grandma? disgusting girl..." He disdained once again and it impacted right at her heart.

!!!

"..." Rachel bit her lips but she didn't say anything, awaiting her granddaughter's words.

"Have a good day, grandma... I'll be off." Her words seemed genuine but then her poisonous glare didn't stop looking at him to the point she even took out two fingers and pointed them at his eyes, then at hers before departing.

'The joke...'

...

"I'm sorry... she's just... complicated, don't be too hard on her." Rachel fidgeted, a little ashamed, but she's surprised that there is an improvement with just a single day... aside from her swollen cheeks that is.

She stood up and prepared to clean the dishes but he stopped her.

"Complicated? she's a villainess... a villainess I tell you! A demon duchess!"

"Please don't exaggerate, she helps me pay the bills and works hard herself... she... she just has bad manners." She sighed and then when she saw him taking the dishes to clean then, stopped him.

"Let me clean the dishes..."

"No, I will do it..." He took them but then she stopped him, she couldn't allow her cute guest to do so many things in her house, she's the one that's supposed to be the host!

"Morpheus! you can't do everything yourself!" Having had enough she took the dishes from his hand, the God could only sigh and pass her the apron.
