Return of Boros (Currently being Rewritten)

Helper of All

After spending quite some time recovering from Kino's horrible cooking, Boros managed to sit up and drink the tea that was offered to him by her, albeit wearily. He didn't want to get poisoned again. After drinking the tea, he faced her with an annoyed stare.

"I presume you can't cook at all."

Kino looked away and growled a little. She wanted to think that she was a good chef, but her visitor's reaction to eating her cooking made her think that maybe she wasn't that good. Or maybe he wasn't used to it due to being a monster? That could be it. It had to be. After all, all the other guests she had at her house, on the rare occasion she did invite someone over, they all complimented her cooking and said it was good. So far, Boros was the only monster that had eaten her cooking. She was now confident that it was because he was a monster that he didn't enjoy her cooking.

"I can cook, but I don't think you can eat food for humans. After all, monsters usually eat all sorts of gross things, right?"

The alien just stared at her, wondering if she was serious or just in denial.

"I ate the other things and they were fine. The moment I took a bite of that last thing, however, it felt as if my innards were being torn asunder by some unholy force of nature."

Kino sat silent for a moment, trying to think of anything that could let her think that her cooking was at least somewhat good.

"...Maybe you can only eat meat? After all, you do have rather sharp teeth. That could be it, right?"

Boros thought for a moment. This could potentially be the answer as too why he didn't enjoy the food on this planet besides the meat. The meat was definitely delicious. That white stuff might have been the eggs? That could be the problem...But wait, didn't he eat vegetables on the bowl of the white stuff? In that case, it couldn't be that he could only eat the meat of this planet, and the plants were poisonous to him.

"On that bowl of pearl-like eggs, I ate what appeared to be plants. If that is the case, then it isn't a matter of me not being able to consume the fruits and vegetables of this world. It's just that you can't cook for shit."

"YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO PUT IT SO BLUNTLY, DAMMIT!"

There wasn't any other excuse that she could think of to try to make it seem that her cooking was good. It was evident that the guests lied to her now that she thought about it. They did look rather sick when they left, but she thought that it was because they ate too much.

While Kino worried about her cooking, Boros looked around the cluttered apartment. It was definitely a mess, and being the leader of the Dark Matter Thieves, he didn't like to be surrounded by garbage. He was used to having his own room just for his throne, along with a massive bedchamber and chefs that would bring him whatever food he wished at any time he wants. Here...it was like a small room with a bathroom and a kitchen connected to it. It also had a mat on the ground, a table, and a TV. All in all, not very much.

'I guess I just need to suffer this to be so for now, until I can get enough of my strength back to go somewhere more spacious.'

There was something that he was wondering, however. Something that he couldn't get off his mind.

"Human, why did you help me? If you knew that you were in peril when I awoke, why do something so stupid?"

Kino looked up from her temporary despair of not being the cook she thought she was and sighed.

"Ok, so, I like to save any monsters or heroes that I see if they're hurt. I never let them know who did it, but I always help them. When I think they're gonna wake up, I take them outside and I leave a note. If it's a hero, I give them a note that says, 'You were hurt in your battle, so I took care of you.' And I sign it with the fake name of Gino. I didn't know what else to use. If it's a monster, I pretty much do the same thing, only I put the name Cyte instead."

Saving both heroes and monsters alike? That was something that Boros didn't expect to hear. Saving the allies along with the enemies. That didn't exactly seem like the smartest thing to do. It was like she was a Savior to all.

"Why the fake names? Are you afraid that you'll be discovered if you use your true name?"

She blushed a bit and looked down.

"Actually, I use Gino as a prototype for a character I wanna use in short stories that I write, and Cyte is the name of a Silevoboden character of mine that I really liked. So, you know."

Boros had never heard of a creature such as a Silevoboden, so the thought of a potentially fearsome creature to battle intrigued.

He sat down across from Kino and looked at her intently.

"Tell me what manner of creature this Silevoboden is. Is it fierce? Deadly? Can it destroy cities or even planets?"

The girl wasn't expecting an onslaught of questions from the alien asking about one of her creations. After all, her stories weren't anything special.

"Well, basically a Silevoboden would be considered a Dragon level to God level threat if it existed, but so would most of my species if they were real. I guess you can say they're pretty much Demonic Dragons that have a humanoid form. Although some of them may have a Succubus or Incubus demon half."

The fact that they didn't exist disappointed Boros slightly, but he still wanted to know one more thing.

"What is this Succubus Incubus monster?"

Kino's face became a deep red as she thought about a way to put this that was the least embarrassing. She didn't exactly have any knowledge on how to word things properly and usually put things bluntly or hinted at things.

"Well, um...A succubus is...Well...Uh..."

Boros looked expectantly at her, anticipating some sort of world-ending beast that could pose a major threat to the universe.

"A succubus is a female demon that uh...is a sex demon."

All interest that Boros had of the species immediately vanished as he got up to see what he could do.

'A demon of sex? How disappointing, I expected the species to be a warrior race.'

Being disappointed seemed to be a theme for today. Lose the best battle of his life, get poisoned by what he thought was good food, and get let down by what he thought would be an epic monster race.

He stopped in his tracks suddenly. He felt like something was missing. Like something wasn't right. Looking down, he confirmed his suspicions. He was still naked. Turning to the human getting off of the floor to take care of the dishes, he asked her a simple question.

"May I get some clothes?"

It was quite a simple question. However, to Kino, it was not that simple of a question. All this time, she had thought that he was in some sort of skin-tight suit. After all, she couldn't see anything down there. However, this revelation was something that proved to be a bit too much for the girl.

Her face turned even redder at the knowledge that she was in the presence of a nude alien, which was something that not many people would be able to say and mean it.

"I-I'm sorry, but I d-don't have any clothes that could fit y-you..." she stammered out.

Kino was tiny, and Boros was massive. If they were to stand side by side, Kino would come up to about Boros's waist. And due to her love of showing skin, she didn't have anything that would cover Boros in the slightest.

Grabbing her wallet, she got on her shoes and opened the door.

"I'm going to go and get you some clothing that you can wear. I'll be back soon. Please don't trash the place. Please?"

Her face was still very red, but she had calmed down a bit to where she no longer had a stammer. Boros looked at her as she went out the door and closed it.

"...Why did I have to become stranded on the strangest of planets?"
