Chapter 311 Being friend with that guy is bad enough

?"Ah-ha! How's that!" Gluttony smiled brightly as she presented the grand Sushi bento, exquisitely arranged and made with all of her skill.

Gluttony's masterpiece, the grand Sushi bento, was a dazzling display of culinary artistry. Encased in a gilded black wooden box, the assortment of sushi within was a symphony of colors, textures, and flavors.

The meticulously arranged fresh fish and seafood, sourced with precision, formed a vibrant mosaic. Each piece was a testament to Gluttony's various knife skills, creating a visual feast before even taking a single bite.

The sushi pieces ranged from delicate sashimi slices to intricately rolled maki, with a harmonious blend of tastes that danced on the palate. The rice, expertly seasoned and shaped, served as the foundation for this culinary masterpiece.

From the rich marbling of tuna to the buttery texture of salmon, every ingredient was selected with utmost care. The bento contained a mix of traditional favorites and innovative creations, showcasing Gluttony's culinary prowess. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

"Ohhhh!" As Pride gazed upon the grand Sushi bento, even her anger took a back seat, momentarily replaced by the allure of this gastronomic spectacle.

"As expected of you, Gluttony," Pride genuinely praised Gluttony for her exquisite culinary skill.

"Ok! Then, as a special service, I'll deliver this bento myself. Where is your man?" Gluttony asked as her hand quickly packed the bento.

"Second floor, the room at the end of the corridor," Pride answered truthfully but then immediately rectified her blunder. "Wait! He's not my man!!" Pride quickly corrected herself.

Expecting to be teased by Gluttony, Pride instead saw Gluttony's face pale as if she had seen a ghost.

"What did you say? Second floor? At the end of the corridor!?" Gluttony asked in alarm.

"Yes... why?" Pride was confused. What's wrong with that room? Yes, it has a lot of talismans plastered on it, but aren't they witches? They have means to suppress or even kill evil spirits and demons.

"Shit!" Gluttony swore and quickly rushed out of the shop, forgetting the sushi box, which fell for Pride to take along with her.

"Wait! Gluttony! What's wrong!?" Pride called out and followed Gluttony out of the sushi bar.

She followed her toward the second floor and saw Gluttony preparing her magic while running through the corridor, activating the function of her Sanctum Sanctorum to let the occupants within the room and people around it ignore and not recognize them.

"So... not just the Sushi bar, this entire apartment is her Sanctum Sanctorum," Pride uttered after witnessing what Gluttony did.

Gluttony quickly entered the room at the end of the corridor and saw Daniel meticulously examining his blade amidst a collection of weapon maintenance tools spread on the floor before him. That blade was, of course, the one Reiko resided in.

However, as members of the Seven Witches, they knew better than to trust that propaganda from Cyrus. The Path of Knowledge faction only signified Daniel's power as the same rank as a GrandMaster mage, but they knew that even so, GrandMaster Rank is strong, but not strong enough to close the hell gate by himself!

Gluttony's wariness shot through the roof the moment she heard Daniel's full name. She prepared for the worst.

"And, what is your relationship with Grand Paladin Christopher Ward?" Gluttony asked, still wary of the blade in Daniel's hand.

Hearing the question from Gluttony, Daniel's face was shocked; his hair stood on end as a creepy feeling ran throughout his body. His mind reverted back to the day when he was plundering all the treasure from Mammon, recalling the words spoken by one of the female paladins who seemed to be a fan of boy-love manhwa. — 'Kyaaaaaaaaaaahh! The Magitek x Mammon ship! This is soooo spicy!' ---

"E... Excuse me... Wh... why do I need to have some relationship with that guy? Are you insane!?" Daniel retorted with disgust, his thoughts dwelling on the many kinky scenarios that happen in boy-love manhwa.

"Eh?" Gluttony was confused; somehow, she got the feeling that Daniel had misinterpreted her words.

"I mean... Is he your friend, or something..." Gluttony wanted to continue but was immediately cut off.

"The first time that guy saw me, he even wanted to shish kebab me! Being friends is bad enough; why do I need to be something else with that fanatic psycho!?" Daniel quickly corrected Gluttony, who was about to continue.

That's exactly how he feels—being friends with that guy is bad enough. Why would he want to be something more than a friend? Is this woman crazy, or has she read too much boy-love manhwa?

— Meanwhile - Atlanteus Base —

Within a newly built large building complex, on the rooftop, there's a luxury house built in modern architectural style.

In the living room, a girl is busy arranging various cosmetics on the table. Beside the array of beauty products, there is a yellow iguana dressed in a flowery frilly outfit, reminiscent of a character from a Hollywood fairytale princess animation.

Next to the iguana is a priest in a black trench coat, none other than Christopher Ward, who volunteered to help take care of Sylvana since Michaela was suck at kitchen work.

"Achoo! Damn... someone must have cursed me behind my back," Christopher uttered before placing the food plates on the table.

"Or maybe they're just planning to kill you," the iguana quipped.

Christopher: "Shut up, Princess."

Iguana Mammon: "You!"

"Come on, Princess Aura! You need to get dressed before you go to the prince's party." Little troublemaker Sylvana approached the iguana and used Envy's expensive lipstick to paint the iguana's lips.

"I want to die..." The Iguana Mammon said without any hope, but suddenly, he felt a surge of killing intent from behind him. It's a no-brainer whose it belongs to.

"Also, I'm just kidding, I love my life," Iguana Mammon added.
