A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 1565 - 1053 Physical Attribute Issue_2

"No way."

Tachibana Rui snorted lightly.

"But one of the reasons I want to move out is indeed related to him."

"Hmm? What’s the relation?"

"He likes my sister. When my sister fell asleep on the sofa before, he even tried to steal a kiss from her, and I saw it."

"........."

Hearing Tachibana Rui’s response, Duanmu Huai was speechless.

"First there’s the mistress, now the student? Not to be rude, but I think your sister might have some special physical attribute that attracts these kinds of people."

Some women seem to have this tendency; they look like ordinary people but always encounter scummy men... Duanmu Huai thinks Tachibana Rui’s sister might have some of this attribute.

"Don’t ask me........"

Tachibana Rui sighed too, then stood up and walked out of the bathroom. Clearly, she’s also a bit frustrated with her sister’s troublesome attribute. Maybe that’s why she wants to move out — the saying "out of sight, out of mind" applies here. With the house such a mess, she kind of doesn’t want to go back.

"Are you worried then?"

"Of course, Yōna just sees him as an ordinary younger brother. She doesn’t have any defenses at home, and the other party is a boy going through puberty, so I’m worried something might happen."

"Hmm......"

Hearing Rui’s answer, Duanmu Huai pondered for a moment, then stretched out his hand to draw a stroke in a place Rui couldn’t see. A flash of light followed, and then Duanmu Huai had a bottle of cola in his hand.

"Here, this is for you."

"What’s this?"

Looking at the cola Duanmu Huai handed over, Rui reached out to take it with a puzzled expression.

"Good stuff. As long as you let him drink this, you’ll never have to worry about him making a move on your sister again."

"???"

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s answer, Rui held the cola in her hand, dumbfounded.

"Uncle, you’re not giving me something illegal, are you?"

"Don’t worry, it will definitely solve your problem."

Facing Rui’s question, Duanmu Huai chuckled, then patted Rui’s head.

"Alright, you should head home soon."

After sending Tachibana Rui into the car, Duanmu Huai also went home directly. However, he didn’t go back immediately but went to the ruins of the original Western-style house, where Naruse Mio was working hard.

"Hey, how’s it going?"

"Ah, uncle."

At this moment, Naruse Mio was holding a magic wand high, pointing towards the sky. Then those dilapidated fragments lifted up and piled to the side—this was also Frieren’s training for Naruse Mio, asking her to use her own magic to completely dismantle the ruins of the Western-style house, then pile the waste beside, using this method to train Naruse Mio’s magic control ability.

Frieren herself seems pretty lazy, but when it comes to educating her disciples, she’s just like a devil.

"It’s really boring......"

Putting down the magic wand, Naruse Mio complained to Duanmu Huai.

"I really didn’t expect a magic user to have to do this kind of stuff. I thought magic users just fight monsters..."

"There’s not such a number of monsters for training now, but someday I might go to the universe to look. If I find suitable ones, taking you to fight and level up wouldn’t be bad either."

Since this world had previous biological civilizations, perhaps there are other cosmic civilizations too. Naturally, Duanmu Huai wouldn’t mind wiping them out.

After all, for the safety of humanity, eliminating all threats in advance is very important.

"Alright, we’ll stop here for today. You should remember we have an event tonight."

"Ugh......My whole body is sore and just wants to sleep..."

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s reminder, Naruse Mio looked dejected. Today, Duanmu Huai and others were about to go to the Devil World to attend a banquet, mainly to celebrate Rias’s coming-of-age and debut battle in the ranking competition. As members of Rias’s team, Duanmu Huai and others naturally had to attend. Naruse Mio originally didn’t want to go, but Duanmu Huai told her that she is now a member of the Tribunal, and with Tribunal backing, there’s no need to worry about the demons, so Naruse Mio reluctantly agreed.

As for why it’s at night—the reason is simple, demons only have full energy in the evening, similar to vampires. During the daytime, they can’t muster energy, so you can’t have everyone yawning while attending a banquet.

As the star of the show, Rias naturally had already gone to the Devil World with her followers. After Duanmu Huai returned, he also brought other Tribunal members to the luxurious hotel hosting the banquet through the teleportation array. Of course, from the outside, it was just about as impressive as human five-star hotels, offering luxury and splendor. However, for those living on a space station, constantly enjoying the universe’s beauty, this scenery didn’t excite them much.

"Ah, Teacher Duanmu."

A well-dressed Kiba Yuuto was standing at the entrance, and upon seeing Duanmu Huai’s group arrive, hurried up to greet them.

"You finally arrived; thankfully, the banquet hasn’t started yet. Please come with me."

"Where’s Liliath?"

"Lady Rias has already gone to greet her brother. Oh, Teacher, did you know? Our first opponents are Zed’s followers."

"Oh......Cyan, huh."

Upon hearing Kiba Yuuto’s description, Duanmu Huai nodded. He already knew there were two superior demon families at Ryuo Academy; one is Rias’s, and the other is Zed Cyan, the student council president, whom Duanmu Huai had encountered a few times. She’s a short-haired, glasses-wearing, serious-looking girl akin to a model student. She and Rias are the same age and also the sister of another Demon King, Leviathan...

Well, it’s normal for someone that age to join ranking matches at the same time.

The banquet was quite lively, and the appearance of Duanmu Huai’s group attracted the attention of many demons. However, for unknown reasons, no demons dared to greet them. Duanmu Huai was happy with the tranquility as he sat at the dining table and indulged—it turns out there are demons roughly his size in the Devil World, so there’s no worry about seating.

Of course, when it comes to dining, it’s like-minded friends drink a thousand cups but strangers nary a word; Duanmu Huai eating alone gets dull. The reason he was so ravenous wasn’t just because he had expended lots of protein over at Rui’s place earlier and needed replenishment, but also that he had company to eat with!

And that person was none other than Frieren!

She was sitting opposite Duanmu Huai, with a pile of steaks almost as tall as her in front of her, picking them off one by one with a fork—Duanmu Huai had to admit he was impressed.

After all, speaking of elves, most would envision them as fruit and vegetarian lovers, rarely eating meat. Yet here’s Frieren enjoying it heartily—and you being under five feet tall at that, where does all this food go?

This was quite the mystery for Duanmu Huai.

Nevertheless, having someone accompany him to eat naturally widened his appetite. Mary and Naruse Mio have small appetites, typical for regular girls, where their meal portion is just about one bite for Duanmu Huai—hardly enough. With Frieren’s appetite, they make a great pair, eating heartily at the table, while beside them...

"Ugh, watching them makes me feel full."

Naruse Mio rubbed her belly, and Mary nodded in agreement.

"Yeah... It’s not surprising Duanmu Huai eats that much, but Frieren being such a big eater is really odd... Plus, eating so much with that figure..."

"I’ve heard it’s hard for elves to gain weight..."

The two whispered as they kept their gaze fixed on Frieren.

What can you say... All that’s felt is envy, jealousy, hatred.
