Next, Ray was waiting for Mira to be back while laying down in the bed.

  He was not really in the mood to do anything today, as a few days later, he would go to the sacred duel with Elsa. A fucking sacred duel where Elsa thought she was pregnant just because they were holding hands.

  *Sigh* Sometimes, dealing with all those protagonists and their antiques was just tiring.

  Not long after, Mira came back with luggage in her hands. It seems she was prepared to stay with the old Mr. Rei for the next month.

  Ray could see the redness in her eyes. Absolutely Mira was crying back in her home, but she still toughened herself and came back just so her loved one could be free.

  ' What a nice and beautiful love. It's such a shame if an old man would ruin it, isn't it?'

  Then Ray proceeded to find her a wardrobe to store all her clothes and belonging, and after everything was done, Ray took Mira to the dining room.

  ' Wait a minute here. You haven't eaten yet, don't you? Just let your darling cook something."

  Ray said with an amiable smile and kind voice. However, it seems a lot more like torture to Mira.

  Who would feel good if an ugly middle-aged old man asked you to become his lover and now try to look good by cooking you something?

  Even so, Mira knew she had no room for refusal. She nodded her head and waited patiently in the dining room.

  Back to Ray, who was now fiddling with some ingredients in the kitchen. He has just decided on what he should cook today.

  It was important to make a good start. Thus he decided to go a little bit all out this time.

  He took out some spiritual plant ingredients, and with the Intermediate-level cooking skill, He started to prep it.

  Next, he chooses a high-quality chicken as his main ingredient. He makes a quick work of the chicken, and soon a beautiful-looking chicken thigh fillet is coming out from the chicken.

  What Ray was going to make today is a simple chicken soup. Ray has noticed fatigue in Mira's eyes, and a chicken soup will do good in making her feel healthier again.

  The last and most important part of the chicken soup was, of course the soup. Ray had used the water from the spiritual pond as the base for this soup, and complemented with the spiritual ingredients, a heavenly soup stock was made.

  ' Hehe, thus I shall name thou, Phoenix soup.'

  *******

  A few minutes after Ray got into the kitchen, he finally came out with a bowl in his hand.

  He placed the bowl in front of Mira, and with a flash of his hand, he opened the lid.

  " Enjoy!"

  A beautiful aroma comes out from the soup, and suddenly.

  *ZIINGGGG*

  Mira could see the image of a phoenix flying from the soup, generating a mirage that was so beautiful that she became absentminded because of it.

  " This…"

  " Yes, this is the phoenix mirage soup. One of the ten legendary soups in this world. Generated with…"

  Ray was trying to explain the content and how miraculous the soup is. However, Mira, who has become dazed, didn't even hear what Ray said.

  She put her hand on the spoon that Ray had provided and started to scoop for the soup.

  " Kyaaaaaa."

  The event that happened after the moan was a "normal" one. Mira's clothes burst out because of the intense flavor, and her face ahegao'd with a super satisfied expression displayed on her face.

  " Thank you for the food."

  ****

  A few minutes later, Mira eventually recovered from the intensity of the food. And Ray knew that Mira's guard to him was currently at the weakest because she was still dazed about the food.

  Ray didn't want to waste his chance and came closer to Mira.

  *Smooch*

  A simple kiss was planted on Mira's lips, and the girl, who was still a bit dazed before, quickly regained her senses and became startled.

  " Wh-What are you doing?"

  " Hmm? You are so cute just now, so I couldn't hold back myself from kissing you. Is there anything wrong, though? Aren't we a lover right now?"

  " Th-this…"

  Mira wanted to refute, but he knew that the old man Rei was right. Her status now was his lover, and there would be nothing wrong for a lover to kiss each other.

  It's just, Mira could never say that it was her first kiss. From the start, her status with Ethan was not really clear. They have shown their interest in each other, but Ethan has not yet made a move on her, thus making her first kiss was stolen by the old man Rei before her.

  Tears almost came from Mira's eyes. Even so, she knew she must be strong. She held back herself from crying, and even though she was still disgusted, she displayed a kind smile to the old man Rei.

  " W-well, you could tell me if you want to kiss me. Don't make me surprised like that."

  A simple sentence that displayed Mira's determination, which only makes Ray more determined to NTR this girl from Ethan.

  Ray now was in a bit of hesitation. Should he used a direct approach like blowjob and fingering, or should he use a slower approach to slowly corrupt Mira's mind?

  He contemplates for a bit, and eventually, his choice was.

  " Then, how about you being the one to kiss me now?"

  Ray dropped the bomb that made Mira almost choked.

  Being forcefully kissed was one thing, but now this old man wanted her to be the one to initiate the kissing?

  Mira almost broke out and cursed the old man Rei. However, her logic could still hold her and tell her that this was the best thing to do.

  This old man could take her first kiss or everything, but her virginity and heart will always be with Ethan.

  ' I'm sorry Ethan, but just remember that my heart will always be yours. have waited for you for more than ten years, and i will always wait for you.'
