It goes without saying that after all that was done, the monsters started killing each other. Thanks to that, the blood absorbed by the blood-eating tree was already enough to almost fully ripen the fruits. This was also when monsters with a single gic factor unlocked appeared again.


    "It''s almost time." Barbara rubbed her hands together like a person looking forward to dinner.


    Arielughed at that with a single loudugh, saying, "Hungry?"


    "Now that you mention it..." Barbara touched her belly. "Actually, I''m a little peckish."


    "Pfft!"


    Maisa and Julia held back theirughter. It was quiteical to see this scene, especially after Barbara had noticed that Ariel was just teasing her. Barbara puffed out her cheeks. It was pretty cute, as she normally had a fiercer expression.


    Seeing the interaction in front of him, even Amon smiled a little. Barbara didn''t know whether to be happy or sad. However, she didn''t stay in the daydream for long. Despite the shame she felt initially, seeing a small smile form on Amon''s face had already made her day.


    Adopting a toothy smile, Barbara said, "Although it''s not much, I have a milk chocte bar. In fact, I almost forgot I had it saved."


    She took out the chocte bar. It was inevitable that the other girls would look intensely at her hand holding the chocte bar. Even Amon looked. After all, Amon liked chocte - not just choctes, but his favorite candy was still chocte bars.


    "Want a piece?" Barbara asked Amon.


    "Mm." Amon did not refuse.


    A mischievous smile curved Barbara''s lips. She got a little hot as she put a piece of chocte in her mouth between her teeth and said, "Take it~"


    "Barbara, you-" The words Maisa wanted to say were interrupted by the shock she got when she saw Amon actually leaning towards Barbara''s mouth, and with his mouth he sealed Barbara''s lips for a few seconds before leaning back again with a look of satisfaction.


    ''Is this valid?'' Maisa''s eyes widened. ''Is it possible to use chocte to make Amon kiss me?''


    Julia was having a simr thought. It was clear what she was thinking, as she was smirking as she thought to herself.


    Almost at the same time, J?olia and Maisa said, "B??rbara, give me a piece, please!"


    Barbara felt sweet inside and touched her lips dreamily, as if she was just kidding, not having much hope despite being full of anticipation. When she heard the twins'' request, Barbara thought about refusing, but as she was already happy, she ended up giving each one a piece.


    As fast as a sh, Maisa took the chocte in her mouth and looked at Amon with her bright eyes. "Amon, take it!"


    "OK." Amon did not refuse. He didn''t dislike any of this, so why deny anything?


    After a kiss not so quick but quite ''sweet'', Maisa had a dreamy look...


    Julia was next. As Ariel saw all this, she felt out of ce, but at the same time she had a smile of interest. She wasn''t particrly interested in dating but rather in whether it was as good a kiss as the three girls made it out to be... Or was it because of the chocte?


    Well, despite being a little interested, she didn''t want to cross that line just yet.


    - -


    Some time had passed, and the blood fruits were ripe. Roars and battle sounds echoed. The main aggressors were monsters with 1 gic factor unlocked.


    "We are going," Amon said in a neutral tone.


    Leaping from the tree, he ran with the girls right behind him. He would stop the strongest monsters while the girls took the fruits. With the battle mode activated, they were quick to get very close to the blood-eating tree. The moment they sensed their presence, the monsters roared furiously.


    Amon blocked the strongest monsters and let the girls through. However, some who still didn''t have the gic factor unlocked stood in their way.


    "I''ll take care of it," Barbara said. She was engulfed in blue mes. She knew she herself was the best at holding these monsters, so she had volunteered.


    "We leave them to you." The twins and Ariel walked past her.


    At that moment, Barbara looked like a queen of mes. Her expression was majestic, and she squinted at the monsters.


    "They will not pass," Barbara said.


    She nced lightly at the monsters as she held her flexible sword, her pupils showing a somewhat careless sense of indifference.


    "Piss off!!"


    With a quick, clean cut, Barbara''s flexible sword cuts off the head of a three-eyed dog.


    Like abustor, mes exploded in her right foot and she took to the air. Taking advantage of the weight and speed while falling, Barbara hit a monster in the head.


    A monster was trying to follow Ariel and the twins. Barbara appeared and yelled as she kicked it upside down, hitting the monster''s jaw. "I told you I''ll deal with you motherfuckers!"


    She spun around and cut the head of another monster that tried to get past her. Eyes cold, Barbara punched some kind of ape monster in the chest.


    "Piss off, you fuckers!"


    Ariel looked back andmented, "Looks like someone is having fun."


    "Heh, she''s just being herself," Maisa said.


    "Hey, don''t get distracted! Let''s get the blood fruits soon," Julia said, pulling one off the tree. Although she found the way Barbara was fighting interesting, they had a mission to fulfill.


    Knowing Julia was right, Ariel and Maisa joined her. In the distance, the students who were hiding thought they could perhaps take the chance and steal the blood fruits. However, an overwhelming fear made them think twice.


    *BOOOOM!*


    A punch from Amon mmed into a monster''s chest. It was as if a bazooka had hit the monster, or even something stronger. The rumbling sound brought the sound of thunder that made it seem like the heavens were about to open.


    It was too scary for the fledglings lurking. If his attack power scared them, his speed did even more so. One of the monsters with gic factors unlocked tried to run towards the girls but didn''t even have a chance to take more than ten steps before being blocked and apparently killed by Amon. Before long, it was as if the heavens were raging; the sounds of thunder echoed non-stop. It was far too scary!
