Slice. Slice. Slice.
The Vinter Family gathered around a table, the main course of which was argesagna with a huge amount of cheese, meat, and sauce.
Even six people could hardly eat it all at once, but... there was one Phantom among them, who unlike ordinary people could consume much more calories than the others.
Leona cut thesagna into several pieces, putting a piece for each of them. However, the pieces were not the same, only hers and Gary''s. The smallest piece was reserved for Trici.
Sure, she demanded that she get asrge a portion as possible, but Leona realized that it would be a miracle if Trici ate that much. After all, the satiety of a particr food was not determined by size, but by the amount of calories, and the type of calories.
Eating two bars of chocte with a total of one thousand calories was very easy, it had a lot of carbohydrates and sugar, which did not satiate very much and was loved by the human brain because it was a quick source of energy.
But, eating a thousand calories in foods like cheese or meat, which are low in carbs and high in protein, was a different story and a much more difficult task.
It could bepared to soda and milk. Drinking a liter of soda was easy and quick, moreover, it didn''t even quench thirst, but drinking a liter of milk was a great challenge even though they had the same amount of calories.
"Mom! This piece is too small!"
Trici eximed puffing up her cheeks and crossing her arms over her chest unhappily.
"I haven''t eaten all day! I can eat a piece twice as big! That''s for sure!"
Leona smiled bitterly, shaking her head.
"I already told you, if you eat this then I''ll give you another piece. I''m not greedy, but you''ll have a hard time eating this one."
Trici cast a re at Leona before looking at Adam. Unlike Trici, to him, Leona put the biggest piece since she knew that Phantoms had a much higher appetite than ordinary humans.
"Pffft! It''s not fair for him to have such a big piece!" Trici snorted. It was the typical whims of any child and little sister.
"Hmm. Maybe you should do a test then? I''m sure Adam will eat his big piece faster than you eat your little one." Leona said confidently putting her hands at her sides and looking at Trici with a smirk on her face.
But... before Trici could give her answer, Adam spoke up: "No."
Trici and Leona looked at him, clearly expecting a different answer.
Adam picked up his knife and fork, beginning to carefully and slowly cut his piece into smaller ones.
"I don''t want to rush into anything. I''ve been waiting to eatsagna like this all my poor life. I want to savor this moment."
Adam said calmly, bringing the fork up to his mouth.
"However, if you want you can have apetition with each other. I won''t get in your way."
Adam shrugged before finally getting a taste of the dish he wanted so badly and waited so long for.
Waves of pleasure spread throughout his body while the red sauce gushed into his mouth like divine juice.
...
Ssh.
Red drops flew in front of ra''s face, a torrent of blood rushing from Redcore Wolf''s left paw.
A sh of pain reflected on the monster''s face as his eyes went wide in disbelief, unwilling to ept reality.
Crackle.
The sma charge ripped a chunk of flesh from Redcore Wolf''s paw as well as a single w that flew off to the side and crashed into the wall, leaving a red stain.
A few drops of bloodnded on ra''s pale face, running down her cheeks in crimson trickles.
Crackle.
Immediately, following her instincts and her body''s desires, ra thrust her right leg forward, closing the distance between her and the Redcore Wolf.
Her shotgun only had eight charges, just how many shots it had enough energy for.
''Seven more shots left...''
ra internally muttered seeing only Redcore Wolf in front of her, it seemed that the rest of the world no longer mattered.
''That''s enough.''
Crackle.
ra aimed her shotgun at Redcore Wolf''s head before pulling the trigger.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
The sma shotgun shuddered, purple energy lines running down its ck body, gathering all the power within.
Then, a secondter, a powerful sma charge flew out of the double-barreled muzzle, ending up in front of Redcore Wolf''s shocked eyes.N?v(el)B\\jnn
It was unknown if Redcore Wolf could withstand a direct st of the sma projectile to the head, but like ra, he had instincts that couldn''t allow him to stand still.
Whoooooooosh.
At thest moment, Redcore Wolf jerked his head, partially dodging the shot.
Step.
Before Redcore Wolf could recover, ra took another step forward, removing her block.
The monster''s right paw immediately copsed downward from the previous inertia, but since ra had taken several steps forward, the red ws crashed not into ra, but into the steel floor behind her.
sh.
ra swung her shield twice as a sma disk, its sharp des spinning at tremendous speed.
Bursts of blood rushed from Redcore Wolf''s chest, where it left an x-shape deep cut with charred flesh due to the high temperature.
''That shield. I didn''t know it had another function. Good thing I was told about it.''
ra pondered as she took thest step and crashed the shield into Redcore Wolf''s chest with its broadest part as if she was trying to push therge creature away.
Sure, even with Code D, the human body didn''t have enough strength to do that, Redcore Wolf''s entire body was several hundred kilograms and his body was strong and stable.
But, technology could bring its adjustments in a deadly battle between a human and a monster.
After all, ra was now utilizing the sesses of two free scientists at once.
Tremble.
The shield shuddered before red pulses traveled across its surface. Then, they came out in a single point, crashing down on Redcore Wolf''s chest like an energy wave, throwing the monster to the other side of the room with great force.
"Gha..."
ra exhaled hot steam as her gaze darkened.
''This is bad... There''s only three minutes left...''
