After Sheila left, Ask was still thinking about her suggestion.
Marrying them all... is of course just an unrealistic idea.
Apart from anything else, is the reason why he is delaying decision because he doesn't know who to choose
well.
It feels like being an exchange student in a distant school, surrounded by beautiful female classmates, and feeling sad every time I think about having to go back sooner or later.
"What are you thinking about?" Nora's voice sounded beside her.
"Why do you all appear and disappear like ghosts?" Ask said helplessly, "It's as if you appear from my side every time."
"I'm sorry, the sand is too soft, so there's no sound when you step on it." Nora put the tray in her hand on the small table next to him, "Would you like to try the baked pasta and ice cream I made?"
Ask glanced at it. The curly pasta mixed with slightly burnt eggplant meat sauce had excellent color and aroma; the ice cream was matcha forest green, sprinkled with some passion fruit and raisins, which also looked very tempting.
I took the spoon and took a bite. The softness of the baked pasta, the deliciousness of the meat sauce, and the satisfying feeling of the ice cream frosting melting in my mouth were simply better than any delicacy in the world.
Horrible. Ask couldn't help but look at Nora. It was terrible. This girl could actually practice from a kitchen novice to this level. She must want to enslave my mouth, tongue and stomach.
"Don't be silly, finish your meal quickly." Nora said with a smile, "Otherwise, if others see you, they will think I am biased."
"You only did my part?" Ask asked.
"It's a trial version, I'll let you judge it first." Nora replied gently, "If you like it, I'll make it for them."
"So I'm your guinea pig." Ask joked.
"Yes, sooner or later I will keep you in my cage." Nora also joked.
…
Ask suddenly felt a chill rising from the end of his spine. Although Nora's expression and tone suggested that it was just a joke... why did he still feel a sense of dread
"Ah, don't think too much, I was just kidding." Nora knelt down beside him and picked up the small bottle on the table. "Sunscreen?"
"Um… "
"They should have asked you for help to apply it, right?" Nora asked with a smile.
Then the strange chill came again. Ask suddenly realized intuitively that it was not caused by a guilty conscience, but because every time Nora was secretly angry, the spirits floating around her sensed her mood changes and came closer.
After plundering Nora's "spirit" ability, Ask saw six or seven spirits surrounding her one or two meters away, slowly absorbing the negative emotions that overflowed from her. Because these emotions have a certain natural dissipation, they will subtly pollute the surrounding mental bodies, so people will have the illusion that the surrounding temperature has dropped.
“They’re pretty kind, aren’t they?” Nora said, hugging her knees as she sat on the beach. “Spirituals don’t have mental bodies or physical bodies, so they crave to occupy bodies and have emotions. I occasionally throw negative emotions to them as food.”
"There shouldn't be any mutations, right?" Ask asked.
