The expensive ride was comfortable, the passing city at night, flowing lights dancing clubbers and people enjoying the night. Risa sat close to the window. Her eyes narrowed further each ti they passed an expensive restaurant.
"Hm?"
Once they reached the city centre, she began to realise just where they were going. Her head turned towards Nikolai, who leaned back and closed his eyes. To anyone else, it looked like he was sleeping or resting.
'He's doing sothing strange with his energy... why is it moving so fast... ah?! Did it just increase slightly?'
"What's the matter, Risa? You're staring at Ma--Nikolai like that." Sarah's voice twisted when she forgot there was a human in the car and changed her wording midway. Her eyes watched Nikolai, then peeked at Risa who seed to act strange.
'Why is she copying Nikolai's pose and closing her eyes like him?'
Little did either of them know Risa was using her special eyes and trying to copy the action of forcing her bloodline energy to flow through her faster. 'I don't get it... why does going faster...'
However, this thought only lasted a mont before she felt her muscles start to relax, and then her body felt comfortable as Risa slowly closed her eyes.
'Ah... this feels strange... it's good~ and comfy.'
Nikolai also found this small peace a few nights ago, although, for him, it ant his obsidian tide could slowly purify and improve his other bloodlines. Therefore, it seed to increase in Risa's eyes, but in reality, it decreased and beca stronger.
He could feel her gaze, then heard Risa's soft and calm breathing beside him. Nikolai realised she tried to copy him and instead beca sedated and relaxed, no longer causing trouble.
'I am glad that Lord Baldon accepted to et tomorrow night. He didn't call any nas or speak bullshit...'

Co at midnight, be prepared to stay over.
Bring so beer.

Slowly, the car's ambient music played a slow, low-fi beat while the trio seed to recover from the past hectic few days. Tonight, he would drink heavily and then sleep all day. No one could stop him. This restaurant was sowhere that most people couldn't eat in their entire lives.
Nikolai wanted to enjoy the taste and tell his father... and one day hoped his mother would also be able to dine there with him.
'If Risa knew I perford this training to improve my soul force... She might stop, so let's tell her it's for beauty sleep. Since I will need help to create a body for mother...'
Elizabeth wasn't currently awake because she had overused her powers for the past few days.
Especially in the dungeon with Risa and facing off against Ludwig. She needed to use her powers to teach Nikolai many things, and thus, he let her sleep inside his trench coat storage space.
There was a sudden buzz in his pocket, interrupting his sleep.
However, these days, the people who contacted him were important to him or related to Ryan. It wasn't like he needed to pay the debts off anymore or avoid the calls for late paynts.

Nikolai couldn't help but find their texts amusing, especially Selene, because he never expected her to be so cute before. After they spent the night together, he saw another side of her. He couldn't stop himself from smirking whenever she spoke or made a mistake and got embarrassed.
'Let's give them a reply and apology for being busy...'
Since he wanted to avoid any trouble, he ntioned eating with co-workers and that he would be drinking tonight and closed his phone.

Shortly after, the car pulled up at the VIP box, thanks to the planned ride. The driver didn't need to wake the trio until the very last mont when he parked the car.
A beautifully elegant sign hung above the trendy yet elegant restaurant with a dark wall and luminous lights.
[Luminary Garden] One of the most expensive and exclusive restaurants in the city.
Thanks to Ivan's contacts, that he got in the past thanks to Dimitri. Nikolai booked the best box.
He liked this restaurant because of the calm dining atmosphere. The trendy setup and the fact they could eat while overlooking the well-maintained gardens.
Soon after they arrived, he helped wake the two sleeping won.
Their dresses almost rode up to their crotch, causing the pair of them to blush when they noticed. However, Risa lifted her lips into a playful smile. It seed she wanted to seduce him even now.
"Nn..."
"Mmmph? Sorry... I must have been tired, Nikolai."
"Let's go get sothing to drink; you two feel much better now, right?" Nikolai couldn't help but wrap his arms around both won's shoulders. He helped them walk because both of them almost fell to the floor because of their dead legs.
Then they finally entered the beautiful automated doors covered in flowers and the restaurant's na in a lovely gothic font.
"Greetings, sir and ladies."
An elegantly dressed man wearing white gloves greeted them at the entrance, his expression soft and kind. They went through the empty and beautiful lobby. Outside, there was a long queue of people, but thanks to the VIP ticket and parking pass, they could avoid it.
He handed his phone to the man, who scanned it with a skilled and fluid motion, passing the phone back instantly and tapping on the keypad.
"You are in VIP Box number one today. It is the utmost popular spot with a full view of our garden," he spoke respectfully toward them. "Would you like a al prepared with the rarer beast or spirit ingredients?"
"That'd be great. I will trust the establishnt's choices, ideal for a vampire, cat and werewolf."
"I will find a perfect selection."
Yes, this was also one of the best places to co as a monster.
They gave priority to non-humans for the tickets to the highest VIP rooms.
The group walked past multiple sets of double doors into the central section. They then took a spiral staircase down into a basent area. Then, followed onto a balcony overhanging a beautiful, bright, and illuminated underground garden.
"Wow!"
"Oh my... it's so beautiful..."
"Yeah, it's quite amazing."
A female was guiding them. She looked back with a gentle smile. There was no mockery in her voice or actions it was clear she enjoyed her job. "You have seen nothing yet, dear esteed guests. This is only the general dining area and the secondary garden."
It was like they transferred the exotic paradise of a garden to the centre of a concrete jungle. Blue flora that gave off a sour yet delicious scent, edible pink leaves with a sugary taste. When soone chewed the stems of purple grasses and shrubs, a spicy taste spread throughout your mouth.
And those were the simplest attractions...
However, if one had sharp eyes, then they could catch sight of so valuable herbs that should be impossible to grow here. Others seed rare or exotic, which belonged to high-grade beasts.
Sarah gazed toward Nikolai, biting her lip as she wondered just how much he had spent to book such an extravagant place.
'I really have the best boss... and he's so handso!'
'Hehe~ the fish in that tank look so delicious. Will Nikolai get mad if I eat one?' Risa saw the enormous aquarium that flowed around the entire room. Its dull blue light added a nice ambience to the room. Strange-looking freshwater fish swam around gracefully inside it.
"Here we are!" the female employee announced, opening the door to a large corridor with one-way mirror windows. She pushed open another door into the deepest VIP room that overlooked a private area. "This is the main garden, a special feature only viewable to the top two VIP rooms."
Beyond the window, multiple small wooden bridges arched over several rivers connected by ponds full of fish, lily pads, exotic fish and turtles. The garden featured tall rock formations surrounded by multi-coloured water reeds.
But perhaps the best thing of all was that this room contained not only the four of them but the view of the beautiful waterfall.
Risa stood still. Her eyes locked onto the waterfall. She glanced back at Nikolai with a pleading and hopeful expression.
"I-Is there sowhere we can take a swim down there? That would be so cool!"
"T-That..." The poor attendant's face beca blue, her eyes looking at Nikolai for help. It appeared she was also a monster, maybe a herbivore or fish type due to her seeming to feel scared of Risa.
"Give it a rest; you can eat what the chef serves, and there's no swimming!" Nikolai couldn't help but smack her behind, causing Risa to let out a seductive moan before running to the sofa covering her ass.
"You! I will not share any fish with you, Nikoliar! You said you wouldn't hit my ass anymore!"
"..."
'I am going to kill this cat... maybe the vet will euthanise her for a small fee...'
"Ahaha.... forgive , I will go and collect your chosen starters... please, relax yourselves." The poor female looked scared of Nikolai while Sarah smirked at him with narrowed eyes. The poor girl even used her digital pad to cover her ass from view, peeking back with a fearful gaze.
Nikolai suddenly wanted to leave and drink cheap beer at the convenience store.
These won only gave him a headache.
