Eat this Tasty Piece of Meat from your Master

"Congratulations for coming out of the closet."

I whispered such in Kevin's ear just as a playful banter, but who would have thought that he would not retort back and shift his head away from me in silence.

(Eh…? What's with this reaction? Does he really swing that way? No way?!)

I didn't ever think that my teasing words would hit the bullseye. And thus, even though I didn't have any objections to my friend's sexual orientation, I couldn't find any more suitable words to say and fumbled.

"Ah… Uh…"

Thankfully, Fairy Meiying unknowingly helped me to save me from the awkward situation as she closed the portal and announced.

"Congratulations to all of the participants for clearing the 139th Inter-Galactic Ranking Competition. You are the best talents of all that have passed through all the hurdles that have been thwarted towards you and have finally come out victorious, alive, and stuffed with treasures."
