Nero, My Existence Is Perfect

Chapter 55

Nero was finding Choko's way of getting annoyed with the others cute, but he had to admit that it bothered her too. We are close to Choko's house, so Nero decides to try on the mask he got today.

Nero goes to the inventory, click on the invisible mask item.

'Yes'

'I don't think it worked, I don't feel anything different' Nero says to himself.

"How strange, they stopped." Choko is surprised that people have stopped looking and talking about Nero's beauty. She looks to where Nero should be and sees an old woman in the place. "Guys, where's Nero?" asks Choko desperate looking around and not finding her.

"She was by your side just now," Jana speaks looking at the sky imagining that Nero could have flown.

Nero was finding it hilarious, he couldn't stand it and began to laugh.

"Sorry ma'am, what's so funny? Have you seen our friend who is here now?" asks Jair to Nero.

"Hey guys, it's me Nero" she laughs more.

"Nero? Like?" Choko asks relieved.

"I got an invisible mask today, I was curious to know how it worked. Apparently, it doesn't make me invisible, well, it makes me unrecognizable to others." This is Nero. "Too bad it's for a short time, I only have 3 minutes left on the mask" a stopwatch was on the right corner, warning me how much time was left.

"Okay then let's go." Reply to Choko is happy to be able to walk without those looks for Nero.

Arriving at the gate of Choko's house, an alert flashed on the screen invisible to others in front of Nero.

"OW, it's you again," says Choko hugging Nero, her face flushes and she lets go of Nero.

The sun was already setting when they arrived at the door of Choko's house, a smell of roasted meat could be felt from afar.

"Mmm, Aunt Latifa's food is the best" Breno talks patting his belly.

"Mom, we're here!" says Choko entering the house.

"Hi my darling!" speaks Latifa going to her daughter and kissing her on the forehead. "Guys" Latifa gives each one a kiss.

"Hi, aunt," they reply.

"Mom, can they have dinner here today?" asks Choko.

"Of course they can, I was already waiting for them." The gentlewoman speaks.

"He was?" asks Jana.

"Yes, as you well know my dear, I have my feelings," he replies with a wink at Jana. "In a little while we'll be serving dinner, go upstairs and clean up. You're not going to sit at my table like that." Latifa says with a smile.

"Yes mom," Choko speaks up the stairs.

Nero, Choco, and Jana went to Choko's room while Jair and Breno went to one of the guest rooms where they had some spare clothes.

"Let's wash up and then go downstairs." Says Jana entering the bathroom, Choko goes right behind followed by Nero.

The bathroom was big enough for the three of them, they start to wash quickly, with a certain tension in the air, Choko throws nervous glances at Nero, he didn't know what was happening to him. Since the morning when he woke up his thoughts have been confused. "Is it if I'm liking Nero? Why does it mess with my senses so much?" he asks himself, she was very confused by everything that happened.

Nero looked at Choko who was so thoughtful, he remembered the kiss earlier today, the kiss that saved Choko's life, but also Nero's first. What a mixture of feelings I was feeling, I liked Choko, I just didn't know if she felt the same too.

"You guys are so quiet, what happened?" asks Jana curious.

"Mm? Oh nothing, I'm just tired." Reply Choko getting blushed.

"The day started early today and the third floor of the dungeon was exhausting." Reply Nero.

They finish the shower, change into clean clothes and go down to dinner. Arriving in the living room, they find Jair, Breno, and Latifa sitting on the sofa talking.

"Here they come, now we can finally have dinner," Latifa says to the boys.

"Why do women take so long for everything?" Breno asks a little impatiently.

"And when will you get used to it?" Jana says rolling her eyes.

"Never honey, never!" says Latifa with a smile.

They sit at the table and the table is set with the best food, Nero's stomach churns with hunger.

"Mmm what a wonderful table, Aunt Latifa, thank you very much!" Nero says thanking him for the food.

Nero didn't know what to taste first, roast beef or checkered chicken? I had so many options, I couldn't get used to so much food when I was used to little. Come to think of it, in the other body how Nero worked hard during the day to be able to eat at night.

He put a little of each on his plate, marveling at every bit of food he put in his mouth.

"Beno told me about today's battle, and how his grandfather's spear was snapped in half. There's a blacksmith in town that I believe he can fix." Latifa speaks, making a point.

"That's wonderful, so my mom won't be so upset." Says Breno hopeful.

"She might be a little mad, but she'll forgive you," Latifa speaks consoling him.

They finish dinner between conversations and laughter.

"Thank you, Aunt, it's late now, let's go home." Thanks to Jana accompanied by Breno and Jair to the door. "Good evening!"

"Thank you for the company. Good night, children, take care!" speaks Latifa.

"Thank you, Aunt, I'll go to bed," Nero speaks up the stairs. "Good night, Aunt Latifa, good night Choko."

"Good night Nero." Reply Latifa and Choko.

Reaching the room, he opened his inventory and selected the time ring. 'What is this item for?' he asked himself
