A life beyond insanity (Kaiman x reader)

4. The idea

Kaimann hates that guy. Not only that he was flirting with Nikaido and tried to get his hands on his precious gyozas, now he was making a move on one of the customers. Who does he think he is?! Kaimann's head was filled with anger, not sure of why he was so upset about it. For a minute, he was thrilled to get rid of me, but then...

"Such a delicate flower should be around other beauties, like me."

The lizard man was furious, I am a good looking man too; handsome, pretty...why the hell am I getting upset over this crap?! That reminded him of the time he pretended to be a woman, furious at another woman's insulting words over his body, he reacted the same way. His mind was fully occupied with his thoughts, not realizing my constant whining to release me from his grip. I looked like a teddy bear in his arms, gaining several weird looks on our way back, it was embarrassing. Nikaido looked just as puzzled at the sight. Kaimann had finally got back from his train of thoughts, demanding gyozas to calm down. Instead for letting me go, he sat me beside him, "and another plate for her too."

"So you can steal them again" I said annoyed.

His eyes went back to Nikaido, "Make an extra portion for me." That was his way of saying: I won't steal them this time. A little uncomfortable, I ate the gyozas slowly. Nikaido noticed that, asking me if I would like to talk to her later on. Thankfully I accept, hoping that it will be us two only. Kaimann didn't seem to be offended, leaving us alone after his plate was empty. Nikaido had to ask me, "Did something happen between you two?"

"What gives you that idea?"

"You didn't fight."

I stayed silent. That wasn't the thing I wanted to talk about. She changed the subject soon after, getting to the point of what to do now. I shrugged, "I don't know how to have a life in this place." She grabbed something from her pocket, revealing the money I gave her for the food, "This is money from sorcerers, are you from that realm?" A little scared, I hesitated to answer.

"Are you a magic user?"

I shook my head," I only grew up there." I told her the entire story, of why we escaped to the realm and why I stayed there until now. Nikaido listened very carefully, waiting for me to finish.

"And this devil got you to hole to live your live in peace?"

I nodded.

"Well I don't know what you can do for a living, but you can stay for one night. For free of course." At least I didn't have to worry about that. Nikaido closed her restaurant soon after and headed upstairs. She wore some shorts and a tank top and for me, she pulled out a long shirt from her cupboard, "It is one of Kaimann's shirts but it will do just fine as a nightshirt." I felt a little unsure to ask her, since she offered me a place to stay for the time being. Nikaido was sharp, noticing me having countless questions in my head, "Come into bed and ask me what whatever you want." "Who did you...?" she smiled wide, "It is written all over your face." Covering with her bed sheet, we faced one another, "Ehm...well...the thing is...are...I mean..." Fiddling with the shirt, Nikaido asked me if this question was about Kaimann. My long moment of silence gave it away. She laughed sweet, "Kaimann and I are only friends. This shirt you are wearing is one he cannot wear anymore, so he gives them to me." I feel bad about tasking her things that are none of my business. Nikaido pressed her finger lightly on to my nose, "Are you interested in Kaimann?"

"No way!" this sudden outburst made her jump, "Relax, I was just asking."

I turned quiet once more, turning onto my back, facing the ceiling. She did the same, placing her hands behind her neck, "But he sure likes you."

"For free gyozas, he would like anyone."

Nikaido laughed out loud, "True."

"Nikaido, I have to ask you something." She listened as I told her about the incident that happened with Kaimann, where he attacked me with his knives." She sighted loud at this, "he sure loves his gyoza."

"But this is just sick, killing me for a bit of food."

"In that case, I teach you how to make them, that way he has no reason to kill you anymore."

I raised a brow at this, asking of why that should save me. Nikaido grinned, "If I am not around, he would be glad to have you there to make them."

"I am not going to cook for lizard head!"

"Suit yourself. Night N/A."

"Night Nikaido", I stayed awake a little while longer, thinking of what I could do the next day. Kaimann seem to have the same idea, lying in bed, with his spikes pressed into the pillow. He couldn't sleep either. Not because he had someone on his mind, but something that made his stomach speak up.

In the world of sorcerers, the devil got caught.

The one that helped me escape was now on the floor, with a foot pressuring his back to stay down. The man before him is a very well known sorcerer, with long red hair and a terrifying mask around his mouth. The devil swallowed hard, as the man came closer, "So you helped her out?" He refused to answer, getting a kick from the person above him. It was a man with a heart mask on, ready for his next orders, "En, I guess you went to that restaurant yourself?"

He nodded, "You told me to see it for myself and it sure was entertaining. Not many humans dare to hide in the world of sorcerers from their fate."

Another large person appears, with a blue mask, completely covering the entire head, "The restaurant has been taken care of and all humans are ready to be executed."

"Not all Noi."

They both looked as En, as he went towards the window, seeing a building on fire, "A little mouse got away. Shin, Noi, go to hole and bring this human to me. I shall take this execution into my own hands."
