"I'll take that snake one who reels of poison. His core must be tasty" Hope replied seriously while looking at the humanoid beast with serpent eyes.
The beast felt a chill go down its spine. It heard everything she said and almost blurted out, "Since when did cores have taste? And don't you absorb them? Why do you sound like you want to eat them instead?! Who's the real beast here?"
But it's pride stopped it. It refused to argue with a human woman who seemed to be pregnant too. And why was she even here with that big belly?!
"O..okay" Muku didn't say anything and let her have her way.
After all, she might start crying if he questioned her choices. Which has been happening a lot lately.
It seems even an R9 can't escape the hormonal imbalances caused by pregnancy somehow.
