Capítulo 18: 17. A night to remember.
We sat on the chair as Jouichiro served us a banquet, looking at it made us gulp because of the beauty of the dish, but don't let your guard down for a second. I sense black miasma in some of it, I pray to the Gods out there, whoever touches that plate will experience a trip to hell, twice over.
We grabbed our plate and started eating, the taste was so good, no one's talking about how good it is, it was a match to see who can eat more. While the feast was happening, one certain individual in particular, slowly reached out to a plate with black miasma in it. Rayleigh, Sui Feng, Francis, and I closed our eyes to avoid seeing the downfall of our comrade.
It was not Louisa though as she is smart enough to see that we are avoiding some dishes and stayed on picking food from the plate we've chosen. It was not Saeko too as her instincts are making sure she chose the right plate to get food.
Hilda put the food in her mouth, time moved slow for all of us. We all were waiting for her demise. One second, two seconds, five seconds, ten seconds have passed when we opened our eyes, but the fall of our comrade didn't happen as expected. Instead she kept on touching all those black miasma foods and she seemed to... enjoy it?
Hilda stopped after noticing we all stopped eating.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked.
"Why?! We were avoiding those plates because it is Jouichiro's failed creations. So why are you eating it like its a delicacy?!" I exclaimed making her understand the situation.
"Oh. These? Compared to the food of the demon world in my world, you can consider these things as luxury in the demon world. If he made a restaurant with these kind of quality foods, he would be the most popular cook in the demon world, even the emperor would surely hire him as his personal cook."
All of our jaws dropped reaching the floor, even Jouichiro was shocked by her statement as she seemed to really enjoy Jouichiro's failed creations. Our dinner ended with our bellies full because of that great banquet.
While we were laying down on the chair, a text message coming from Azazel was just sent to me.
'Where in the world did you find that artwork?! Who the hell painted it? Do you know the painter personally?!' the text he sent made me curious as to what happened.
I replied him with a simple 'What happened?'
5 seconds after it was sent, Azazel replied. Man, that was fast.
'What happened? How does a simple painting of Shizaki Town reached a high price of 163 million yen?! Tell me! Do you know the painter personally?!'
I sent a reply to Azazel.
'It was me, why? You said not to get my hopes up, but it looks like I got more than expected.' Azazel didn't reply but immediately my phone rang like crazy. I stood up and went to the yard as I picked up the call, turns out it was Azazel.
"Why didn't you tell me that it was a masterpiece?! Give me back the care I gave you when you asked me to sell it using my connections! I was supposed to buy it should no one picks interest in your art. I thought it was all scribbles!" I flinched at his statement 'Its not like what I gave you were scribbles, you just didn't check it even after I gave it to you.'
"Fine, I'll make another one." 'consider it as payment for the pot that was destroyed by that freaking bird. It was a 2 in 1 deal in favor of me.'
"You sure?! Put it at my room near the study table then. By the way, are you having a party at the house right now? I seem to hear people there." He asked suspiciously
"Oh, that? Just some visitors I entertained as they were looking for you. You didn't owe anyone right?" Azazel went silent and when I looked at my phone, Azazel cut the call. The next message from Azazel was the money was sent into an account he made for me. Completely avoiding the question I raised.
That Azazel, did he went to Grigori to hide from his debtors?! That crow have debts?! It will never be money though as I know he is loaded. If I guessed what happened, Azazel forgot to make the artificial sacred gear to his customers... though sacred gear, they are all failed ones.
I then took it off my mind as I asked Jouichiro to make food for Griffon, Suicune, and the familiars. He immediately whipped some food for them and they enjoyed the food making Griffon scream over and over again.
I then noticed Uncle Rayleigh lying down at the yard holding a glass of rum.
"Uncle Rayleigh, why are you here?" I asked him.
"Oh, Vergil. Just enjoying the sight of the stars out here while being accompanied by this alcohol you called rum." He was the first one to call me by my name as Hilda and the others are still adjusting to it.
"Mind if I ask you a question about haki?" I asked him.
"Sure, go ahead."
"Is Gol D. Roger's 'Voice of all things' the pinnacle of observation haki? Or is it an ability of his?" Rayleigh seemed to be amused at my question and was reminiscing the time he was with Roger.
"Hm, its 50/50 actually. It is Roger's ability and yes, 'voice of all things' is the pinnacle of observation haki. The difference is Roger can hear the voices of those in the ancient era, the reason why our crew were finding information about the void century was because, a person from that era spoke to Roger to seek out the truth about it. Do you want to know what happened back then? I don't mind telling you." He asked with curiosity while waiting for my answer.
"Nah, if I do somehow happened to be in your world, I would search for what happened there with my own hands and power." He laughed at my answer.
"You sure are an odd one, Vergil. The people would love to hear what happened back then but you want to know about it with your own hands. HAHAHA."
"Where was the fun in that if someone gave you the answer without inputting effort and hard work in it? Food tastes good when you worked hard for it. Though we used uncle Azazel's stock for tonight, I've got the money to replace it by tomorrow."
"I see, anymore questions?" Rayleigh asked
"There is one more, did Roger ate a devil fruit?" Many people back in my time were speculating if Roger did eat a devil fruit or he didn't.
"Oh, that? Yes he did eat a devil fruit." My eyes lit up as my thought acceleration worked at full speed to speculate things.
"What is the fruit he ate though?" I asked in curiosity to fulfill one of the greatest myth in One Piece.
"It was the rubber-rubber fruit. Although not powerful as an Ancient Zoan, Mythical Zoan or a Logia, his creative use of the fruit made him powerful." I was shocked of the revelations that my thought acceleration crashed. Was Luffy, Roger's reincarnation? Did he reincarnate to Luffy without his past memories?
(Imagine this with HxH ending preview announcer XD)
Rayleigh unveiled a shocking truth to our hero, causing his brain to shutdown for a second before regaining his composure once more.
Meanwhile, Azazel has been training Vali in Grigori as he escapes his debtors by using training as an excuse.
(Cue in HxH 2011's ending 2 and enjoy)
----------
I was having fun writing this chapter as I have my friend read it and he laughed his ass out especially the hxh announcer as we both remembered Hisoka's face upon learning of Uvogin's death😂😂😂
Yeah it was all speculation about those things about Roger so don't take it too seriously.
Reached a quarter of a million milestone, man never knew that a cheesy novel like this would be popular XD thanks for all the support though. Glad to have you guys enjoy it.
If you have any problems with the novel do tell me so I can patch it up with a chapter like the Saegusa family, I will introduce their Psion system in a future chapter so don't worry, I'll cover it.
Thanks for reading my novel, Good Day/Night!
