The Blind Bandit (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 16: The Jewel Meat part 3

~At dinner~

The place where dinner was gonna be was quite beautiful. It looked like an observatory with a clear view of the full moon just out the window. Overseeing the whole landscape. It would've been a wonderful feeling along with the gentle, calming light breeze in the mix. But there was just one, tiny, little thing wrong... 

'I'm never going to get used to this. All this formal attire just isn't part of my style. At least, this one feels more comfortable and not as tightly bound as the others.' Sarafina thought to herself. She wore a sleeveless black black dress that reaches down to her feet and had sky-blue butterflies decorated the skirt and wore a silver cross necklace with a sapphire jewel in the centre. But she didn't have to worry about the choice of clothing for very long as the long awaited meat had finally arrived to be eaten. "Sorry to keep you waiting so long. The jewel meat is served." 

Whoa...the sheer energy from the meat alone was enough to fill Sarafina with glee as the others' eyes widened by it. It was actually sparkling and shining bright like a precious diamond. The others gave out cries of delight as they looked at the meat. "It's like the moonlight has grown dim. It's like daylight only in here. Of course this alone could illuminate the entire inside of that giant mammoth's body." Well, that's certainly one way to put it. 

"Toriko! That your skin is sparkling so much.." Sanny exclaimed as he looked over at the giant hunter. Now that he brought it up...he was still sparkling. Giving the long haired man a grin, Toriko replied back, "Yeah, I was one step ahead in the mammoth's body and took care of the true food." "I knew it!" Sani shouted angrily as Toriko continued, "When I went to the toilet before even my poop was glittery!" Sarafina almost choked on her water as she tried not to laugh. "Really?! Then shut up, that's freaking disgusting!" The feminine man shouted as the chef shouted, "Before we're about to eat, Toriko-san." Leticia strongly agreed. "Yeah, seriously?! We're trying to enjoy something here, and how dare you say such a disgusting thing in front of Sarafina-sama?!"

"That's your biggest concern?!"

"Anyway," Toriko said, getting a huge grin on his face as he stared at the meat. "Ain't we going to eat?! Jewel meat!" Following suit as the others put their hands together and said, "Itadakimatsu!" Everyone cut a piece of the jewel meat, and took one bite. Sarafina couldn't help but laugh as the others seemed to melt from the taste. Taking a small piece Sarafina tried it and understood why they felt that way. It was way more delicious then anything she's ever had before! Once she swallowed her whole body glowed. It was a pure and gentle white glow. The kind one would expect to see coming from the gates of Heaven. The glow seemed to just dance and swirl around her the more she ate of the jewel meat. She believed she had finally found something. The woman then stopped mid-chew when she felt eyes staring at her. She looked up and sensed that all of them were staring at her in wonder. 

"What a warm glow..." Komatsu said as he stared at her. "I haven't seen something before." Coco said. "Wow..." Said Rin, completely speechless. "I don't know what to even say..." Sunny said in slight shock. "Of course you don't, Sarafina-sama is just wonderful." Leticia said with admiration in her eyes. Sarafina couldn't help but give out a little nervous laughter as they kept looking at her. She felt her power grow and the energy spreading around, but is her glow really all that impressive. "Beautiful..." Her eyes picked up that comment. It was so quiet, you almost couldn't hear it unless you really listened. Surprised, Sarafina turned her head and asked, "Did you say something Toriko?"

"What? No, I-I didn't say anything." Toriko said as he went on to stuff his face with more jewel meat. Sarafina tilted her head to the side. Hmm, odd. She could've sworn she heard him say something. She looked at him but with the every from the jewel meat coursing through him, she couldn't see him to be lying. Sarafina shrugged and thought to just it slide.
