Misfit Race for Food Hunting
Millie is cooking one pancake on a frying pan and made on good flap to have it land on top of a stack of other pancakes making it thirteen along with four other plates.
"Oh my, these pancakes smell great! I hope everyone loves them!" Mille giggled and put the spatula into the sink.
She carries the other plates into her arms with the fifth plan on her head and made her way to the dining room where everyone is waiting and having their own fun time while waiting for their breakfast.
"Hey, I wonder if this collar would be worth something?" Jazz asked, looking at the spiked collar that just "happen" to be in his hands right now.
"You fucking bastard! Give me back my collar or else I'm going to fill your body full of holes!" Loona threatened with a growl and showing her fangs.
"Kid, I would do what she says if I were you. You remember how down it went for Broseph when he stepped on her tail yesterday." Zenkichi reminded him of that little incident from just a day ago.
"I said I was sorry, dude!" Broseph said, hugging onto his bandaged legs and shaking like a leaf after the crazy ordeal of being beaten to near death from the dog girl. He also has some scratches on his face.
"And just when I thought I've gotten through to him." Makoto sighed.
"It's best just to let him take things from the outside." Selnia advised.
"Oh, here comes Millie." Akane informed.
"Yes, time to refuel our gaming energy!" Miko excitedly.
"Okay everyone, pancakes for all! Now, I hope you don't mind having some toasts while I whip them up, the stove was being a little tricky to work with." Millie said as she settles the plates down.
"My, my, such wonderful smell is making even me feel excited!" Sabro sniffed the fluffy texture of these pancakes.
"Oh, I see you added raspberry." Akiharu noticed the little red dots in the pancakes.
"Yep, thought I make them a little special today." Millie nodded.
"Now try to be mindful and leave enough for everyone else next to you, otherwise you might find yourself too greedy for food." Millie advised with a little joke at the end.
"As long as this can help ease my stomach, then I'm good with anything." Shoko said before she starts eating one pancake.
"I guess that goes for you too, Iruma, considering how much food you eat than the rest of us." Selnia advised to her boyfriend.
"I'll try, but I'm not good with holding myself back." Iruma said.
"I know you and Selnia have only been here for three days and all, but how in Hell can you eat so much?" Shax asked curiously.
"It just how I am when it comes to being on my own for most of my life, with no parents and others to care for me." Iruma explained calmly and ate one pancake.
"Sounds like you've been fucked up and had to survive hard way longer before this Hellish Apocalypse." Jazz commented, after giving Loona's collar back.
"Not to worry, Master Iruma. I, your humble servant, Asmodeus Alice, will make sure that your hunger will not be a bother to you and to others." Alice promised as he stuffed a pancake in Iruma's mouth.
"Here Iruma-Kin, try some big juicy hydra tail!" Clara shoved a big piece of mouth into Iruma's mouth as well.
"Oh, thank you, Clara." Iruma thanked before munching the food down into his throat in seconds.
Loona just looks at Iruma for a moment thinking about the large amount of food this blue hair kid eats since coming here, she even had to help Millie in the kitchen to make some more food for Iruma to eat just to keep him from getting hungry after the first plate.
And this leaves him with concern in her doggy thoughts.
"Hey Clara, can you really replicate anything you've been before like food with your magic?" Selnia asked.
"Yep, yep, it's a special Bloodline Ability that has been within my family for many, many, many generations and so on!" Clara nodded and pushed her hands into her pockets.
"I can bring out toys, games, some random stuff I thought would be fun like this blanket with a blood stain that looks like it came from a heartbroken wife who found out her husband was cheating on him, and this pretty diamond skull!" Clara pulled out all the stuff she just said.
"Wow, that sounds like a real handy ability to have!" Iruma complimented.
"Yes, but it can be quite annoying like how she just keeps pulling things and throws them at us." Alice annoyed.
"I think she's just trying to be playful." Gaap believed.
"Helpful that also hurts, but I agree." Five agreed.
"Sometimes, pain can be a great teacher." Allocer stated.
"Millie, you mind if we talk in the kitchen?" Loona asked.
"Sure, Loona. Zenkichi, you come with us since I believe this might be a grownup talk." Millie said as she got up from her chair.
"Okay, hopefully it's not something that could scare the life out of me." Zenkichi nodded and follow the girls into the kitchen.
"What do you think they're gonna talk about?" Akane asked Makoto.
"Probably nothing serious, but just in case, I'm going to try join on the conversation to see what's the situation." Makoto said as she leaves the table to join the three others.
"Hey Iruma, why don't you try eating this pancake with some birdseeds." Kamui dared while giving the pancake to Iruma.
"Okay." Iruma said as he took the pancake.
Meanwhile in the kitchen, Loona spoke about why she wanted to have this private talk.
"Okay, I'll try not to waste any of your time, so I'll just come out and say it. We might be running out of food." Loona said.
"For real? I thought we'd have enough for a month!" Zenkichi shocked.
"Even so, we still have a lot of mouths to feed and not to mention there's Iruma with his big appetite that we're gonna have to be very careful." Makoto pointed out.
"Damn, didn't realize we would be going down so soon." Zenkichi rubbed the back of his head.
"So, how much food do we have left?" Zenkichi asked.
"I did some checking on our food supply last night before going to bed and from what I can gather… We only have enough for two days, three at most." Millie informed.
"Then we really need to restock our food supply right away, just enough for all of us and hopefully for Iruma." Makoto stated.
"I blame his parents for making him go hungry so much, wish I arrested them if I knew." Zenkichi angered because of people like them deserves to be in jail.
"They're probably dead right now." Loona said, not giving a shit about those two who messed up Iruma's life.
"Let's focus on getting more food and that leaves the big question: where?" Makoto pointed out.
"It's gotta be a place where there are lots of food to go around with all kinds like meat, vegetables, pre-cooked stuff, food that is good to be cooked in a microwave, spices to help make the food taste better, even the snacks like cookies and crackers." Millie listed the food group that is needed.
"Let's not forget water and other drinks that can help us stay hydrated." Makoto reminded her of the liquid.
"Hmm, maybe…" Zenkichi got an idea of such a place.
"You have a place in mind, old man?" Loona asked.
"Old man… I'm not that old." Zenkichi felt hurt from that.
"Zenkichi, focus! Do you know a place where we can find all the necessary food we want?" Makoto asked, wanting to get everyone to have a common goal.
"Oh right, I do remember hearing about a new food marketplace that's said to have everything one needs, and it was combined with several food market companies too." Zenkichi mentioned.
"Really? Like everything, everything?" Loona asked.
"Well, maybe not like literally everything, but it certainly has a lot." Zenkichi said.
"I think I heard about that too, it just opened at least 10 days before the Apocalypse." Makoto remembered seeing the news about the new food store.
"Great, we just need to go there and get all the food. Should be easy if it's not surrounded by demons and other shits." Loona said.
"The only problem is I have no idea where it is, I never got around to know the location." Makoto confessed.
"Yeah, no go from me too…" Zenkichi admitted as well.
"Are you shitting me?" Loona glared at the two humans.
"Now, now, I'm sure we can find another way to find the place." Millie tried to calm down Loona.
"I know where that is." Iruma said, catching the four by surprise.
"Iruma, you know where that food store is?" Millie asked shock.
"Yeah, I was part of the construction crew that was in charge of making the place for eight months and that was two months before the opening." Iruma explained.
The scene changes to everyone gathers in the living room where Millie and Iruma are standing in front of them with the big board behind.
"Okay everyone, now I don't want to alarm you all, but we might be running out of food soon and we'll need to restock." Millie informed.
"Oh no, I hope it's not bad." Kerori worried.
"Don't worry, we're fortunate enough that Iruma knows the best place where we can get all the necessary food." Millie placed the map of Tokyo onto the board.
"The food store is right here, right next to the Meiji Shrine which is only about 4-5 miles long." Iruma pointed and trace the food to their current location on the map.
"Leave it to Master Iruma to know every place he has visited. Truly a man who seen it all." Alice complimented.
"You compliment him too much, and it's not like he can do much better than me." Sabro proclaimed.
"Huh? Would you care to repeat that, Sabnock?" Alice asked with his eyes full of anger.
"This doesn't look good." Five worried.
"All I'm saying is that with my amazing strength, I can easily beat Iruma to the food store before him and carry the most food back here as well." Sabro smirked.
"Oh, so you think you're better than Master Iruma? Is that what you're saying, you big oaf?" Alice asked mocking the blonde demon.
"Was that not obvious? Maybe I need to say it slower for you to understand." Sabro grinned and leans his face a little closer to Alice's face.
"Come on, let's not get into a fight or anything, not when we need to get some food." Iruma pointed out what's important right now.
"Not worry, Master Iruma, there won't be any fighting." Alice assured.
Iruma let a sigh of relief, happy to hear that only the relief was short-lived when Alice said more.
"Because we are going to have a race to see which one will get to the store first and show that you're the superior one!" Alice declared loudly with bursting into flames.
And Iruma felt like his relief was shattered into millions of pieces like glass being hit by a whacking ball.
"A race, huh? Sounds like something I ca go for!" Sabro smirked as he stood up.
"Oh great, we're making this into a race." Loona rolled her eyes.
"Yay! We're going to play a game!" Clara cheered while shaking Shoko and Philp's hands.
"Will you let go of me!" Shoko demanded.
"Not this is a game I wanna play, count me in!" Shax raised his hand.
"Agares and I will also partake in this lovely event." Gaap volunteered himself and his sleeping friend.
"For real?" Agares complained yawning.
"I'm already feeling excited!" Elizabetta smiled.
"Wait, you're going to do it too?" Kerori asked shock.
"We might as well make this food recovering mission into a game for everyone to enjoy and let me tell ya, I'm really good at games!" Miko smirked.
"When did this get out of hand?" Makoto asked with a sigh.
"Hey, it this will help us get some food, then I say we go for it." Loona shrugged.
"Now, let us go to watch me win!" Sabro smirked as he marches forward to the outside.
"Well, Iruma, somehow this ended being something that was out of your control." Selnia commented.
"Why does this keep happening to me?" Iruma asked crying.
"Suck it up, you were able to survive this long, so now you should at least show the others how much your skills to get through the tough things." Loona stated with a hard slap on the back.
"Now get going so we can get on with it." Loona walked away with Iruma following her.
"You don't think this is gonna get too out of hand, right?" Selnia asked Millie.
"Oh, I'm sure everything is going to be fine. It's not like it's gonna be to the death that there might be some blood spilling here and there." Millie smiled calmly, but her words don't seem to calm Selnia down at all.
"Oh dear…" Selnia gulped.
(Five Minutes Later)
Everyone is standing in front of the building and facing in the direction where the large food store is from the direction Iruma gave them.
"Before we start this off, let just be clear that the only place we're going to is the food store to restock our supplies. You all know that, right?" Loona asked.
Everyone gave the Hellhound woman a nod to know that they understand.
"Good, now you are allowed to do whatever you want in this "race" except for killing each other and trying to face off against something that would be too much for you to handle. If you see like a powerful demon than it would be in your best interest to get away from it." Loona explained the danger.
"Oh please, like anything is dangerous for me." Sabro smirked.
"Your funeral." Loona shrugged.
"I can't believe we're really doing this. I'm not even that good in gym." Philp worried that she might actually die if she goes through with this.
"It's okay, you can stick with me and Iruma if you don't want to go in alone." Selnia offered to team up.
"How do you get yourself motivated to like run fast?" Five asked Broseph.
"Well, I do like surfing and the beaver tails we have back home." Broseph answered with a little drool.
"Okay, try thinking of those things in the store calling out to you." Five advised.
"Five! Less talking, more getting yourself ready for the race!" Miko shouted as she puts on her helmet and saddle herself on her bike.
"Won't the demons just get ahead of us?" Akane asked Makoto.
"True, but we have to be more focus on getting the necessary food that will help last us a long while." Makoto pointed out.
"Alright, get your shit ready…" Loona pointed her gun at the sky.
The demon students got themselves ready by bringing out their wings while the humans just go into a runner starting position.
"…Go." Loona said simply and shot the bullet.
Everyone started running and flying forward with the demons gaining the lead with Sabro in front and Alice is right behind him, Millie and Loona also started running because the former didn't want them to be left out.
"You know, I really don't care about winning, Sabro can take it for all I care." Iruma said.
"But wouldn't be just an insult to his pride since he was challenged and consider the kind of demon he is, he'll probably hate you until you're dead." Philp pointed out, making Iruma realize that would definitely be the case.
"Let's try not to worry about that right now. We need a plan in order to really catch up to our demon friends." Selnia looked up, seeing them getting far ahead.
"Hey, I think I see something that might help." Iruma pointed at a rickshaw.
"Huh, what are the odds of finding one here of all places." Selnia surprised.
"Hop on, I can try getting us there." Iruma offered to give them a lift.
"Are you sure it's not too much trouble?" Philp asked concern.
"It's fine, I've done this all the time for Selnia." Iruma said making his girlfriend blush.
"(Still, I really wish there was a better for me to help everyone than just my evading skill.)" Iruma thought wished to be better use for everyone.
Unknown to him and the girls, they are being watch from afar of a large chubby man in a big cart-car.
"Looks like I have found myself a new customer." The chubby man smiled.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Oh yeah, the search for the big food store has now been turn into a race by Sabro and Alice being so rival with each other as everyone is dragged into it, and it looks like Iruma might have a fateful encounter with mysterious man who wishes to do business with him.
