Transcended as Lord Buggy-Part 1

119. Test Result

Soon afterward, Cricket comes together with the girls & Diane. He met them on his way here and they forced him to carry their groceries. He's also accompanying their shopping. The poor guy couldn't refuse Mantis' request or he will sleep alone tonight.

"Bad timing, huh?" asks Buggy as Cricket sits beside him.

"Sigh, at least it didn't take a long time because the dinner time is close," says Cricket.

"Is there any problem today?" asks Buggy.

"Just a small problem. Some thugs tried to steal on our ship, but got defeated easily," says Cricket while puffing his cigarette.

"The guards didn't make trouble, right?" asks Buggy.

"Luckily they didn't, or they would also get beaten up," says Cricket while smirking.

"Heh, I'm sure they would. You should've known it from Manba & Ruff, but let me introduce him. He's Bani, the one that has high possibility to be Palu's biological father," says Buggy.

Buggy introduces Bani to Cricket and also does the opposite. They have some small talks while waiting for the dinner to get cooked. The food's ready after 15 minutes and they have dinner together.

Mantis has saved some portions for Ruff, Manba, and Deon who aren't here. Even so, the portions that get served here are still a lot. The 3 boys here are the biggest eaters in their crew, so they need a lot of food.

"I'm really glad that you've helped me to cook all of these. I won't be able to cook this much by myself," says Diane while they eat.

"Don't mind it. Preparing their food is my duty as the crew's chef. Besides, you've taught me some cuisines from Birka, so thank you," says Mantis.

"It's alright. I always wanted to teach my daughter if I ever have one. But since my baby got kidnapped, I never thought of having another child," says Diane with a sad expression.

The dining room suddenly gets gloomy because of it and it makes Diane panic.

"A-Ah, but it's okay because I have my husband, and now my baby is back. W-Well, we need to wait for the DNA test to be sure of it though," says Diane to cheer them up, but then she gets gloomy because of her own words.

"Don't worry, I'm sure the result will be positive," says Jude to cheer Diane.

"Hehe, I hope so. Ah, by the way, which one of you girls is Palu's girlfriend?" asks Diane curiously.

*PFFT* *COUGH COUGH*

Palu spits his food a little and coughs because he is surprised. Diane's question is very sudden and that question is very wrong.

"I don't have any girlfriend, yet," says Palu after drinking water.

"You don't have one? You are 26 and almost 27, you know? This is the best time to get a girl for a man," says Bani.

"That's right. There are 2 beautiful girls here and you can't even get one of them? Wait! Y-You don't go the wrong way, right?" asks Diane with a horror expression.

"No way! I'm normal and like girls. Sigh, but these 2 are out of the question. If I want a girlfriend, I will need to find someone else," says Palu before biting the meat on his hand.

"Hmm? Why are they out of question?" asks Diane curiously.

Palu doesn't say a word and just uses his fork to gesture something. He points it at Mantis to Cricket first before pointing at Jude to Buggy. Mantis & Cricket don't have any reaction, but Jude blushes and it makes Buggy sigh.
