Chapter 114- Shirt Wars!

The day passed quietly for the trio. They didn't do much except for cooking dinner and idling around. Kai used that time to do his daily research about his illness. The progress was still stagnant but Kai felt as if he was grasping something.

His trip to the Frozen Plains wasn't all bad and mind-shifting as he thought. It actually helped him discover something about himself that could be very well linked to his illness and that is the fact that the more he used Origin, the more his symptoms have a chance of appearing.

To be more precise, he focused on his fight with the Spider Queen. During that fight and right after he got hit with the acid, Kai felt himself snap for a second, and that made him unleash more Origin than he usually does.

After the end of the fight, he felt the after-effects of that in the form of bloody coughs and a general feeling of weakness in his body. It wasn't as intense as when he lost consciousness a few weeks ago. But, it was certainly very similar to that albeit more watered down.

So, with that in mind, he came to the conclusion that his illness was linked to his powers in some shape or form.

'I need to do more research on my own body. Maybe I should do a full scan of it? I think Eva's family has the technology to analyze the Origin's circulation inside the body and the seals.' He thought as he looked at the data in front of him.

"Kai! Can you tell this old hag to leave me alone!" As he was like that, he heard Eva yelling from the outside.

"Let go of his shirt and I will let you go, Kiddo!"

"On my dead body! Let go!"

"No, you let go!"

Feeling their auras flaring, Kai sighed, closed the computer, and walked outside. There, he found the two beautiful women fighting over a shirt that he presumed belonged to him.

"I have nothing to wear so I will wear it. You already have clothes." Eva said.

"Are you dumb, kiddo? Do these clothes look like they're good to sleep in?"

"Still better than mine!"

The two were grasping the shirt from both ends as they pulled it toward themselves. The shirt was already getting stretched from the sheer power.

"You two… What did I say about fighting?" Kai asked coldly, making the two flinch.

"She started it!!" (x2)

They said as they pointed at each other in sync.

"Sigh, both of you won't wear it. Since when did my clothes become yours to wear?" He asked.

"..." The two girls immediately let go of the shirt before they looked down with a sad expression. Kai was almost impressed at how in sync they were. It was as if they were twins of some sort. A twin that can't stop fighting, that is.

'Now, what should I do with these two…' He thought to himself. But, when he saw the two of them sulking, he could only shake his head before he walked to the shirt and picked it up.

"I said no fighting. Besides, why are you even fighting for a shirt?"

Immediately, the two looked up with a serious expression.

"It's not ANY shirt, Kai! It's YOUR shirt! Do you not understand how valuable that is?" Eva said as she shook her head, seemingly disappointed at the fact that Kai couldn't see the sheer value of that shirt.

"..."

"The kiddo is right, Kai. That shirt is a precious piece of treasure that I must obtain no matter what."

"Dream on, it's mine!"

"Pfft, you always make me laugh with your jokes, kiddo. Are you perhaps a clown? If you're not, I suggest you become one, you have the knack for it."

"No need, you already are the best in the business," Eva retorted with a sarcastic tone.

"Grrr…"

"Grrr…"

Glaring at each other, the two girls started their banter again, ignoring Kai's words. Well, on the brighter side, they weren't physically fighting which Kai wouldn't tolerate at all.

'These two…' Kai was completely speechless at how ridiculous they were. He couldn't even comprehend why they wanted his shirt that much. It's just a shirt for god's sake.

"How about we settle this through a game?" Kaya suggested.

"A game?"

"Yes, let's play a chess game. The winner gets the shirt and the loser has to bow down before the winner and say 'I'm completely and utterly stupid to even dare to challenge you, my queen'."

"..."

"That's a good idea. Let's do it."

Looking at the two, Kai couldn't even find a way to stop them. His mind couldn't handle such odd situations. Fighting weird creatures from another world was honestly easier to digest.

As he was like that, the two girls pulled a chess board from somewhere that Kai didn't even know and set their pieces.

"Get ready to be completely and utterly trampled on!" Kaya said.

"Pfft! I won the world championship when I was only 5 years old."

"5? I was the best chess player when I still didn't even learn how to walk." Kaya rolled her eyes.

Meanwhile, Kai just sat down and watched them silently. His urge to sigh was stronger than ever but he held it in.

After that, the two began playing and it was… intense to say the least.

For starters, neither of them took even a split second to think before they moved their piece. They were so fast that the best chess players in the world would look at them as if they were aliens.

In a matter of seconds, both of them had already moved past the opening phase and were well into the midgame. Looking at the two women, they had a very serious expression of complete focus. If someone told Kai this game of chess would determine their life or death, he would've believed them. But no, this game was for his shirt. Hell, he didn't even give his consent!

But, for one reason or another, Kai found this atmosphere rather pleasant and familiar. Perhaps that was the real reason for him not stopping them. Their banter, their energy, and their expressive reactions, he enjoyed looking at them from the side. It gave life to his rather cold house.

As he was having such thoughts, Kai heard the two girls click their tongues. Looking down, he saw the reason why. They both reached a draw.

"Goddamit! Again!" Kaya said.

"Sure!"

The two started another game and that also ended in a draw. Then, they repeated that three more times in the span of 5 or 6 minutes and they all ended in a draw.

"What the heck?!"

"I'm actually shocked you have a brain to be able to keep up with me. Did I perhaps grow dumber?" Eva said with a deadly serious expression.

"You're the dumb one!!"

"You two, this is enough." Kai finally stood up and stopped this war.

"But… the shirt!!" (x2)

"Sigh… If you two really want my shirt. Why didn't you just take two, one for each one of you?" He said as he rubbed his temple.

"Oh…" (x2)

And that's how realization hit them.
