Garou Ga Kill

Chapter 9: Searching For Clues

The next day, Himiko woke up in the morning like usual. She changed her clothes and went to the kitchen to prepare whatever food she can for the children. When she entered the kitchen, her eyes widened in shock. On top of the table, there was a basket filled with rabbits and birds. Her mind short-circuited for a moment.

She walked slowly toward them, she touched them, then pinched herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming. Her state changed from shock to happiness and excitement. She didn't know how all this meat came here then she remembered Garou, it must be his doing!

She raised her sleeves; she was too excited that she wanted to start cooking immediately. But she stopped in her tracks when she heard sounds coming from the outside. She curiously moved toward the window and looked outside. She saw Garou punching and kicking the air. His speed was something beyond her eyes capabilities. However, what drew her attention the most was his bandages.

Yesterday, when she met Garou, he was like a living mummy. His body was covered with bandages. But currently, he had none covering himself. His upper body is naked while he was covering his lower body with tattered pants. Garou didn't seemed to be bothered by his clothes. If someone asked Himiko's opinion on Garou's body, the first thing that would come to her mind is the word perfect.

Garou stopped his actions and turned toward Himiko suddenly and spoke "You are finally awake."

Himiko was surprised as she didn't expect him to notice her since he was immersed in his training, but she still spoke politely "um-ah yeah, good morning Garou."

"I assume you saw the meat" Garou said, making Himiko node, "Good, you should start making breakfast. The amount I gathered should be enough for breakfast, I will go out again later to get lunch food."

Himiko blinked in confusion, she said "The food you gathered enough for 2 days."

"No, it is enough only for breakfast. You are going to cook all of it" Garou replied casually.

Himiko wasn't sure how to reply, she was sure cooking all that meat is too much for breakfast. She believed that the food will go to waste and they won't be able to finish it all. She wanted to protest against Garou, but seeing his eyes made her stop any thoughts of rebelling against his orders. She sighed and went to cook.

Hours later, Himiko sat on the dining table alongside the orphanage's children, including Ari and Eren. However, no one of them tried to eat despite the massive pile of meat before their eyes. They were busy watching Garou wolfing meat like wild danger beast. By the time he finished eating, they had lost the count of how many plates he had eaten on his own. One thing for sure, he ate as much as 5 grown men or maybe more.

Garou looked at the children and Himiko who were eyeing him like a zoo animal. He didn't like it in the slightest. He said "If you are not going to eat, I will eat your shares. I can eat a few more plates, no big deal."

The children started eating as they were afraid of him eating their food. On the other hand, Himiko face turned red out of embarrassment, she apologized in a low voice before started eating like the children.

After they finished eating, Garou spoke with Himiko "Himiko, do you have clothes my size ?"

Himiko thought a little before saying "wait a moment, please."

She went somewhere then came back with some clothes. Garou took the clothes and changed into them. They were not a perfect fit for Garou, the shirt was brown and slightly tight for his size, the pants were beige coloured and somewhat short for him. He still took them, after all, they are better than nothing.

The children who saw Garou's current clothing laughed at him, which made Garou scowl a little. He internally decided to get better clothes later on.

In Nightraid's hideout, Najenda was staring seriously at Tatsumi.
