In a state of pure bliss, Akira reached for another helping of the enormous amount of food lined up on the table.
While the dinner had indeed been expensive, it was priced at wasteland rates, which were inflated due to including the shipping cost of the ingredients and other expenses. True, the same spread couldâve been found in the city for much cheaper. But since it had been prepared for wealthy hunters who could afford to develop discerning palates, the quality of the comestibles had to be rather high. And since Akiraâs palate had yet to even reach the level of âdiscerning,â he was completely blown away by how delicious everything was. He sat grinning from ear to ear, looking even more like a child than usual.
Carol watched him eat, resting her chin on her hands. âPretty good, huh?â
Akira nodded firmly. âItâs delicious.â
âYeah? Glad to hear it,â she said, and gave a small sigh. She seemed to be sulking a little.
âYou donât look very glad. Wait, I didnât order too much, did I?!â
Fearing that heâd made a terrible mistake, Akira blanched, but Carol just gave him a wry smile.
âNo, itâs not that. Itâs just... I mean... Normally when Iâm eating with a guy, their eyes arenât on the foodâtheyâre looking here.â Sounding somewhat hurt, she pointed to her cleavage.
Akiraâs eyes followed her finger, but there was nothing in his gaze that even remotely suggested lust for the opposite sex.
âSorry to let you down, but at my age food interests me way more.â
âSince this smorgasbord is clearly more appetizing to you than I am, I believe it. Looks like you really did order a ton, but be sure to eat it all, okay? No leftovers.â
âNo problem! Iâm going through a growth spurt right now,â he replied before clearing another plate. Even though heâd prioritized quantity over quality when ordering, his appetite had indeed been so voracious that heâd already demolished half the spread.
Akira had once been battered and bruised from so many years of toughing it out in the slums, but the sixty million aurum medical procedure heâd recently undergone in a Kugamayama City hospital had restored his body to health. But the procedure hadnât corrected the deficiencies heâd suffered in his physical growth due to malnourishment. In order to grow normally, he now needed a large amount of nutrients, and had in fact undergone treatment at the hospital to help him process them more easily.
Furthermore, thanks to his training regimen and constant monster encounters, his physical abilities were rapidly developing, meaning his body was demanding even more energyânot to mention material from which to manufacture new cells whenever he took medicine to restore his injuries at the cellular level. So Akira now required more sustenance than ever, which meant he was constantly starvingâyet between daily hunter activities and his bodyâs growth, heâd never reach an unhealthy weight. Consuming the delectable food in front of him guilt-free, without worrying about it affecting his performance, Akira was truly on cloud nine.
âWhat about you, Carol?â he asked.
