Leuko : Blind to the Sunshine

Chapter 4: I'm an Abomination

Chapter 4: I'm an abomination

The skeleton surrounded me once again in the sea of blood, still trying their fruitless effort to take away my eyes before they were reduced to dust. But there was also nothing I could do, so I simply lay there waiting for the darkness to arrive.

But suddenly, the skeleton started to smell very sweet, to the point I stood up to look at them.

But by doing so, the darkness immediately covered my vision.

Oh, I'm awake.

"Good morning, Luciel, I prepared you a breakfast." A gentle voice reached my air, and right in front of it was the delicious smell that I noticed in my nightmare.

I connected my vision with Pandora, allowing me to see Nurse Joy with a plate of multiple cut berries in one hand, and a basket of...

"Poképuff!" I exclaimed in joy as I tried to reach the basket, but I couldn't reach them.

Oh, Pandora must be near her, what is he...

Ah!

To my dismay, Pandora was currently swallowing a poképuff, without me!

"Pandora!"

"Kyu?" He stopped to look at me in surprise.

"Why didn't you wait for me?"

"Kyu!" Realising his mistake, he removed the food from his mouth and put it back onto its designated plate. He wanted to look innocent, but I could clearly see that there was still some treat missing.

I wanted to berate him more, but I was distracted by a gentle chuckle.

I looked at Nurse Joy who seemed very amused about the situation. "Please don't mind me, I just find your interaction very cute."

Cute?

"So Luciel, did you sleep well?" She asked as she raised a table on the bed to drop the breakfast. Pandora took this as a signal to continue his meal and immediately took back his poképuff.

"I never slept better than that! It must be because of the bed!"

"I'm happy to hear that."

Why would me, sleeping well, make her happy?

I tried to look at her to find my answer, but nothing in her gaze betrayed her intention, not even a slight trace of pride. I could detect some concern, however.

"Are you not hungry?"

Her voice took me back to reality as I gazed back at the breakfast she made me.

Once again, I verified that she really had no plan to eat this food before taking a fork and delicately took a piece of the berries bowl while making sure my elbow didn't touch the table and that my head was low.

Barely a second after, I already took my first bite.

The berry was obviously fresher and juicer than what I usually eat, but this one even had a more...sweet taste.

I looked for a napkin and cleaned my mouth with before inspecting the bowl.

This allowed me to notice a golden liquid covering the fruit, the liquid also seemed very sticky. I took my fork to collect some of it a bring it to my tongue, and as expected, it was sweet.

"What is this?"

"Oh, that honey, a sweet produced by a Combee. Its honey is said to be very healthy and can be used to help some mild sickness."

Oh, so that's why it's so tasty, do I really deserve something so tasty? It also seems very expensive, how would they want me to repay it?

Do they want my knowledge like Cynthia? No, it cannot be this expensive.
