Chapter 403: Chapter 337: Sothing’s Not Right
Ash felt that things had been increasingly off lately.
Although Vatican Mura was always a bit off, or rather Ash had never been to a decent place, coming to the Void Realm ant encountering amnesia-inducing fun houses, and living in iwa’s place also ant worrying about being attacked and drained at night.
But the recent oddness was the “waking up to find your roommate has turned into a girl” kind of oddness.
Firstly, getting out of bed. Because he had recently been unable to enter the Void Realm, Ash could only sleep soundly. However, each ti he woke up, he found an additional cake in his room, a different style every day—red velvet, black forest, white forest, mousse taking turns. Ash even wondered if Senheiser intended to fatten him up before eating him.
But it seed no one else received this treatnt—only his room sprouted a cake every day.
Very strange.
Then there was Liss. Ash discovered that the consumption rate of his high-class Substitute was getting faster and faster. Every ti, Liss claid she hadn’t done anything, but she was nearly using up three Substitutes a day, making Ash even suspect her of using Substitutes for forbidden human experints.
Quite off.
The young lady had issues too. Ash would occasionally encounter Hanna in the cafeteria, and she’d always gladly slap Ash’s shoulder, head, buttocks, and so on, as if they were very familiar with each other, although their relationship should have been more like streetlights to a temporary worker.
Extrely odd.
Furthermore, Ash always felt that every woman he ca across seed to like him a lot. At the restaurant, when buying a drink, the Sea Demon lady would deliberately scratch the palm of his hand. While in the gaming pod, the staff lady would co by every hour to remind Ash to rest, drink water, eat snacks, and sotis, when Ash was too busy gaming, she would feed him directly.
Besides these, there were many other things that made Ash toss and turn, checking his Status info repeatedly to confirm that his Profession was “Eternal Damnation Walker/Society’s Loafing Individual” and not sothing like ‘Walking Hormone’, ‘Muddy Legendary Level Worker’, or ‘Humanoid Hypnotic Spritz’.
Even though Ash thought he looked okay, compared to Igula, who could charm n and won of all ages, there was still so distance. Yet, his popularity was nearly catching up to that of Gold Coins.
Could Senheiser really fancy this kind of worn-out, downtrodden corporate-slave look?
However, being the center of everyone’s attention really felt aweso, Ash occasionally even laughed in his sleep. He had never thought before that being handso could be so useful, and sotis he even regretted not having the Crow dical Practitioner give him a complete facial transformation package.
But it still felt very wrong.
Finally, last night Ash saw Igula in the restaurant and took his tray to sit opposite him, then sothing utterly incredible happened—
Igula ran away!
Swindler hadn’t even finished his fatty al yet, and as soon as Ash sat down, Igula hurriedly left, reluctant even to call him “Bro Ash”!
After pondering thoroughly, Ash suddenly realized that Swindler seed to have been avoiding him these past few days. There were several tis they were about to et in the corridor, and every ti Igula would take another path to leave. Ash had initially thought Igula was in a hurry, but now it seed, Igula clearly avoided him upon sight!
This was definitely sothing very off.
“So, I just wanted to ask if you guys have any clue.”
Inside Ash’s room, Ash, Harvey, and Liss were gathered around a table, sharing a freshly erged strawberry cheesecake.
Perhaps due to the aftereffects of Blood Moon sweets, Harvey quite liked sweets. But he didn’t like eating the cake directly; instead, he dipped it in cat grass smoke, eating it like fries.
The Necromancer casually remarked, “Igula never called you ‘Bro Ash’ before, did he?”
“Although he never said it, I know he definitely respected ,” Ash replied. “Now that he doesn’t even talk to , I knew there was a serious problem.”
Liss picked out all the strawberries, popping one into her mouth after another, and spoke unclearly, “Dad, did you upset Aunt Bokin sohow?”
“I didn’t…” Ash suddenly rembered how he had barged in while Igula was taking a bath a few days ago and had a deep conversation, “…do sothing like that (very quietly).”
“If you offended Aunt Bokin, why not just pick a ti to apologize to him?” Liss said, “For example, rush in while he is taking a bath, he will definitely forgive you.”
Ash looked at Liss surprisingly and gave her a thumbs up, “You even thought of the sa thing, indeed I didn’t na you for nothing!”
“Right!”
“But…” Ash pondered, “I think it’s not quite appropriate.”
“Why isn’t it appropriate?” Liss asked, “Is apologizing inappropriate? Surely it can’t be that bursting in on Aunt Bokin while bathing is inappropriate, Dad, you’re not exactly the good guy.”
Ash punched Liss gently on the head, saying, “Well, it just feels… a bit dangerous.”
“What’s dangerous?” Harvey, eating cake, making a popping sound, asked, “You’re not afraid of clothed Igula, but you’re afraid of unclothed Igula?”
“But I still feel that Igula in the bath is very dangerous.” Ash crossed his arms and closed his eyes, as if trying to predict sothing, “Mainly because I feel like Igula is holding back on sothing, I have a strong premonition that if I provoke him…”
He thought for a while, “Sothing bad might happen.”
Harvey and Liss exchanged glances, unable to think of anything particularly bad that Igula could do to Ash.
After all, Igula wasn’t a combat-oriented mage, the most likely thing he would do is hypnotize Ash.
And his tricks for fooling Ash were just the sa few things, either “running naked in the restaurant,” “calling Qinna wife,” or “calling Hanna daughter.”
At worst, all three at the sa ti.
Not to ntion the consequences, but Ash didn’t seem like soone who would care about such things.
Surely Igula wouldn’t beat up Ash, would he?
“Let’s move on to the next topic.” Harvey said, “Concerning Ash suddenly having female attention, I propose three possibilities: Ash’s illusion, an illusion Igula hypnotized out of Ash, an illusion from Beauty Mist poisoning, an illusion from a damaged soul.”
Since a damaged soul requires a full eight hours of sleep, it wouldn’t be possible to have two hours of quality sleep. Out of habit and a bit of self-pity, Ash had shared the news of his downfall in the Void Realm with everyone.
Liss raised her hand, seriously correcting, “Uncle Harvey, you clearly proposed four points!”
Ash looked grim, “Actually, it’s just one point… and this really isn’t my illusion! At least not just it!”
Harvey thought for a second, “I’m not the right person to judge this since I’m the sa gender as you and have quite sophisticated tastes, you definitely wouldn’t accept my judgnt. Let Liss speak, surely you’ll believe your daughter, right?”
Ash turned to Liss, who calmly swallowed her cake and let out a small burp.
She wiped her hands with a napkin, then grabbed onto Ash’s sleeve, her nose twitching, eyes brimming with tears, her face full of sympathy and pity.
“I’m sorry, Dad, I shouldn’t have pushed you so hard. Let’s not have a stepmother, okay? I’ll never ntion a stepmother in front of you again, don’t torture yourself like this, it really hurts Liss’s heart…”
Ash undid his belt outright, “Harvey, can you heal a miracle? Can you fix a spanked butt?”
