Boooo!
The ship let out a loud sound, its chimney letting out a cloud of smoke as the people aboard were getting ready to sail back to Whale Island.
On the docks, Shizuku expanded Blinky's mouth, absorbing the armoured vehicle inside so she could take it out when she develops her ability further.
Like how Breck suggested.
"Shizuku, let's try some takoyaki since the ship is not going to sail for another 30 minutes." Breck came back to Shizuku with a couple of bills in his hand.
Turns out, Shizuku can't throw the money that Blinky absorbed back up until she finally upgrades Blinky with the Finite space rule. A bummer, but Breck is never short of cash.
When he walks past someone, the only thing he sees is money signs. And if they resist? Then what are they gonna do when a fist going faster than sound with the force of 10 Tons slams into their face?
In a couple of minutes, Breck borrowed some cash on his tab and then came back to Shizuku, watching the shops that those old heads set up. He is not going to steal. Gotta support those small businesses.
"Takoyaki? What's that?" Shizuku asked with confused eyes. She does not know what Tokoyaki, or any popular food other than bread and meat, is. She did grow up in Meteor City.
Breck looked at Shizuku for a second before sighing. He moved and turned her around before pushing her forward to the small shop. The two walked, with Shizuku inspecting every food.
"Hmm?" Breck turned to Shizuku, and he saw her looking at a stall where a bunch of chocolate-covered strawberries were set out in a line. Breck smirked before walking to the stall.
Three boxes of chocolate-covered strawberries, please!" Breck ordered, and the old lady at the counter smiled as she noticed Shizuku looking. SH nodded before preparing the boxes.
"Here you, younglin, hope your lady likes to sit," The old head said with a warm smile, and Breck smirked as he turned around. Breck took a box out of the bag and opened it.
He took out a strawberry under Shizuku's eyes and smirked as he placed it in front of his mouth. He bit down, and the sound of crunchy chocolate crunching was heard.
"Uhmm! Tastes like I remember!" Breck muttered with a smile as he tasted the strawberry and chocolate. Shizuku watched with saliva almost overflowing from her mouth.
Breck walked ot her and took out a strawberry. He placed it in front of Shizuku's lips, and she opened her mouth, only for Breck to bite down on the strawberry.
"Why did you do that..." Shiuku pointed as she glared at Breck. Her lips turned down as she started walking away from Breck. With a sheepish grin, Breck followed her.
"Shizu, if you want a box of these, then you gotta give me a tiny peck on the cheek!" Breck said, causing Shizuku to turn to him with a scowl, her cheeks slightly red.
"Fine, but only because I don't have money," Shizuku said before moving towards Breck and planting a kiss on his cheek. Shizuku blushed, her lips remaining on Breck's cheeks a bit longer than intended.
Breck smirked as he felt Shizuku's warm and soft lips on his cheek. He looked at Shizuku, noticing her red cheeks. Shizuku pulled back, looking at the box of strawberries in his hand.
"Here," Breck smirked as he gave one to her. Shizuku snatched it like it was a precious jewel, and she took one in her hand. She opened her lips and bit down on it.
Shizuku paused, a moan coming out of her mouth as she felt like she was in paradise. She had never eaten something so sweet and so delicious!
If she were on a famous food cooking show right now. Her clothes would have ripped off and been sent flying to the moon!
Boooo!
Shizuku and Breck turned towards the docks and saw the ship starting to sail away. They have not even taken 10 minutes. Why did the damn ship start sailing already?
"Whatever, we can just jump on it." Shizuku and Breck broke out in a sprint, running towards the ship faster than a bullet, breaking the sound barrier.
Boom!
A bunch of people fell on their asses as Shizuku and Breck ran to the ship. When they reached the docks, they crouched down and, using a burst of Ren, their figures sailed into the sky.
Boom!
The crew on the ship looked in shock as the two slammed down onto the boards, cracking the wooden planks and sending a tiny shockwave out from the impact.
"Stop the boat! We have some intruders!" The crew shouted to the captain, who let out a sigh of anger as he was prepared to turn the ship around.
Boom!
The head of the guy who said that was smashed away from a punch. His chest caved in, and his body shot out like a jet, smacking into a couple of sailors, knocking them down.
The captain and the rest of the crew stopped what they were doing. Looking at Breck with pale faces and fear as his blood-covered fist opened.
"I suggest you keep going towards the original destination. OH, would you rather have me cave your skulls in slowly and painfully? Either way, I will enjoy it," Breck said with a smirk that sent shivers down everyone's spine.
"Y-Yes! Right away!" The captain fumbled with his words as he started steering the ship back onto course. Breck nodded as the rest of the crew took the dead sailor into a room.
"Well, are you ready to work on your Blinky? This will take a week," Breck asked Shizuku, who nodded with a strawberry between her teeth. Breck smirked as he noticed a smidge of chocolate on the corner of her lips.
He leaned down and gently lifted Shizuku's head by the chin. Shizuku looked at him while blinking, only for him to wipe the chocolate down with a finger.
"You got some leftover chocolate? Let me clean that," Breck said as he put his finger on his tongue, licking the chocolate off. Shizuku blushed, pushing Breck away slightly.
"Hehe... Looks like someone is shy~," Breck teased, only for Shizuku's face to go back to her neutral one. She looked down and got back to eating her strawberries, though she couldn't hide the faint red on her cheeks.
"How cute~," Breck muttered.
