"Hey, Fei," Phinks closed the door behind him. "I got you something."
Feitan stared at the brown bag in Phink's hands. "What?"
"Remember Greed Island? I managed to finish it, and turns out they let me take out three items from the game. I'm giving one to you." Phinks took out a card from his bag, and handed it to the shorter man. "I'm sure you will like it."
[67] [Elder's Growth Medicine] [B-30]
This medicine allows you to grow by one centimeter for every pill you take. A bottle contains 100 pills. It's quite desirable for people older than 20.
Feitan, having read the description, glared at Phinks - but the taller man was oblivious to his death vibes. "How is it? It's sure to be very useful," Phinks chuckled at the last two words.
"Do you have a death wish?"
"What?"
Feitan kicked Phink's shins, hard. "I no need these pills, Phinks."
Phinks smirked at his shorter companion. To be honest, he felt that an angry Feitan was a cute Feitan, given his size and all. Adorable, in fact. Well, except when Feitan uses his Nen. Then he'd be anything but cute.
"Then I'd better use my Nen, then." Feitan growled.
"Wha?" Wait, had he actually said those things out loud? Phinks gulped, edging towards the door. "W-wait a minute, Fei! Calm down, I didn't mean it!"
"You'd better not." Feitan walked menacingly towards the Egyptian, with his protective suit materialised and ready for action. "Or I burn you."
Phinks ran for his life.
"Why isn't Phinks joining us for dinner today?" Kalluto asked inquisitively.
Shalnark sighed. "He's currently nursing a wound in a rather sensitive area, so he won't be coming today."
"Eh? He didn't seem to have any visible injuries when I saw him just now," Nobunaga commented. "What injured him to the point that he can't even eat out with us?"
Machi sipped her tea. "Feitan happened."
The Zoldyck child looked questioningly at the Troupe's torturer. Feitan, on the other hand, calmly snapped apart his chopsticks. He sensed the boy's gaze and stopped. "Are you curious?"
Kalluto paused for a while, considering his replies, before nodding.
"Have you ever heard of the phrase '屁股烧焦'?"
AN: '屁股烧焦' roughly translates to 'roasted butt'. Apparently, Phink's glutes did not meet a very happy end, and thus he was unable to sit down properly, much less join the Troupe for a meal without publicly embarrassing himself.
P.S. [Eldest's Growth Medicine] is an actual card drawn in the manga. If I can find my screenshot of the card, I'll use that as the story image thingy. (Pardon me, I have absolutely no idea what it's called.)
