Chapter 521: Perfection Can Be Nauseating, A Little Flaw Is Necessary

"Let's just get down to business," Kawaki said dismissively. "We could skip it over, but out of politeness, I'll say just a bit."

With that, Kawaki clapped his hands lightly.

Immediately, three ladies from Hyakka entered the room, each carrying golden items. Notably, the three large gold items were two large spheres and a cylinder.

The Hyakka ladies placed the three gold objects on the ground.

"Kawaki-sama, these are the three most valuable remaining items from the Phoenix Treasure Vault," one of the Hyakka ladies announced.

Looking at the trio of golden objects, which together resembled something obscene, Kawaki was silent for a long time before he finally muttered, "Um... the shape looks a bit like... something I see every day in the bathroom. Is it just me?"

...

"Cough, cough," after the Hyakka ladies had left, Kawaki cleared his throat and continued, "As you can see, although the shapes might be odd, they are all made of pure gold. You three divide them among yourselves as a token of apology for my intrusion on your trash classification meeting."

"Hmph," Otose smirked, picking up one of the golden spheres, "I'll take a gold sphere since the store also has a TAMA (little ball)."

"Then, I'll take a gold sphere too," Jirochou picked up the other sphere, "after all, it's best to keep one's TAMA (life) in one's own hands."

"Hey, are you doing this on purpose? Why leave me with this kind of thing?" Saigou's forehead throbbed with a visible vein.

"Now that the gifts are accepted, let's discuss the real matter at hand," Kawaki nodded. "But where should I start? Let me think a bit."

"Hey, I didn't say I accepted the gift. I want one of those round, golden spheres, too! Why do I only get this useless gold rod?" Saigou complained unhappily.

"An Okama... shouldn't need a gold sphere, right?" Otose casually replied, cigarette in hand.Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com

"Hey, I'll kill you, you old hag!" Saigou yelled, spittle flying.

"Got it, got it, I remember now!" Kawaki suddenly opened his eyes wide, cleared his throat again, and said, "Um, actually, I have an utterly unadorable nephew... ah, that's not right; he was a tiny bit adorable as a kid, just a tiny bit, though. Now, he's completely not cute at all. The last time I saw him, he was trying to attack me."

"Why are you ignoring me?" Saigou interrupted.

"But even though he's not cute at all this time, he actually asked me for a gift. You all must understand the feeling, right? When a junior directly asks for a gift," Kawaki explained, looking at the three. "The last time I gave him a gift was when he was very young. I handed him something I didn't really know how to use. This time, he asked for something specific, and as his elder, I..."

"Kawaki, don't worry! Since it's a gift my nephew wants, I'll help you find whatever it is!" Saigou earnestly replied.
