"Stop nagging, just wait to eat the delicious soft-boiled egg," Bayonetta said unhappily.
"Also, the other breakfast items are already prepared, there's hot milk and golden-fried bacon, and toast already spread with strawberry jam. Go eat first."
Aiden knew that staying by Bayonetta's side would distract her, and to stop her from continuing to waste ingredients, he shrugged his shoulders and turned around to walk to the dining table.
After sitting down, he didn't immediately start eating. Instead, he turned back to look at the witch wearing an apron.
The witch, dressed lightly, now wearing an apron, made him think of certain chefs from some h*ntai he'd seen before...
Alright, guilty as charged, but when he used to be with Jeanne, for the sake of adding some spice, she had dressed like that too.
While Aiden was thinking this, Bayonetta let out a cheer from the kitchen.
"Darling, the soft-boiled egg is done. This time it's absolutely perfect."
Aiden withdrew his thoughts and looked at Bayonetta as she carried two plates with fried eggs, walking over with a light step.
"Here, you eat this one." Bayonetta placed the plate in her left hand in front of Aiden.
Aiden lowered his head and took a glance, indeed finding it fried to perfection.
Then... he leaned over to glance at Bayonetta's plate and noticed that compared to his, the appearance seemed just a little less impressive.
Looking at Bayonetta, who had picked up a knife and fork and was about to cut into the egg, Aiden suddenly raised his hand to stop her.
"What? Darling, you're still not satisfied? This is already the best I've ever fried."
Bayonetta looked at Aiden discontentedly, then continued, "Alright, alright, I'll go fry you the most perfect soft-boiled egg again."
"That's not what I meant." Aiden shook his head, got up, walked over, and pushed Bayonetta, who had also stood up, back into her seat.
Then he picked up her plate and placed it beside his own. Next, he used the dining knife to cut both fried eggs in half, and then used the fork to swap one half of each egg.
Seeing this action, Bayonetta was a bit surprised, and a little moved in her heart.
As a witch, money and such didn't mean much to her. What she might really need was a genuine attitude, an attitude unrelated to money and material things.
"Darling, do you know what I want to do now?" Bayonetta said.
Aiden placed the plate back in front of her. Before he could respond, the witch suddenly stood up with a swoosh, pushed him down into the chair, straddled him on his lap, held his face, and kissed him.
After several minutes of a passionate kiss, Bayonetta finally let go of Aiden and said with a smile, "That's your reward."
'It was a nice reward, but...' Aiden wiped his lips and felt like they had gotten swollen from the kiss. So he complained, "Next time you reward me, don't use so much force."
"Got it!"
Bayonetta stood up and returned to her seat, happily starting to eat her breakfast.
"Oh right, Enzo called just now. He asked us to go to Rodin's bar," Bayonetta said halfway through eating.
"Did he get news about what you asked him to look into?" Aiden asked.
Bayonetta nodded, swallowed the food in her mouth, and continued, "I need to find a way to figure out my origins."
'That, I know. You're a witch!'
Although stating Bayonetta's true identity probably wouldn't count as a spoiler, thinking of Jeanne, Aiden still decided to leave this chance to her. Sisterhood and all that.
'But... Jeanne should be arriving today, right?'
After breakfast, the two rested for a while and then went out.
But just as Bayonetta was holding the keys, getting ready to start the car, a taxi stopped in front of her house.
"Hey, you two, had a good night?" Enzo got out of the car with a cigar in his mouth and asked loudly.
"Extremely good, I felt like I went to heaven," Aiden replied dramatically.
Enzo let out a grunt, he thought Aiden would be a bit more reserved. "Lucky that the angels didn't interrupt you guys. So, can you describe what heaven's like?"
"Indescribable in words. Let's just say... beyond amazing," Aiden said.
If it were an average girl, after hearing the two of them talk, she'd definitely feel a bit embarrassed.
But who is the witch lady? She glanced at Enzo and said coolly, "To you, I'm afraid every night is like hell, right?"
"Nonsense!" Enzo was so angry he jumped, "My wife praises me every night!"
"Actually, I slept quite peacefully at your place those few days," Aiden added a jab from the side.
Faced with the two echoing each other, Enzo's face immediately fell. He complained indignantly, "Don't be so smug. Say that again when you're my age."
"In fact, my physical age is already thirty." Aiden glanced at him too. "But my body is always in peak condition. As we say back home, forever eighteen."
"Damn it, you people..." Enzo was seriously hit. He shouted loudly, "God, send down divine punishment to punish them!"
"Careful the first one struck is you." Aiden patted his shoulder. "Quit complaining. Go drive. That's what you came for today, isn't it?"
"I came to check whether you guys messed up my car." Enzo grumbled but still walked over to his sports car, and as he passed Bayonetta, he casually caught the keys she tossed over.
Although Enzo's sports car had no trunk, it was at least a four-seater. Since Enzo was driving himself, Aiden and Bayonetta naturally chose to sit in the back, leaving the front passenger seat empty.
Aiden leaned forward and patted Enzo's shoulder, "Drive."
"I shouldn't have come. Makes me feel like I'm your private chauffeur." Enzo complained again but still started the engine.
Soon after, the sports car drove out of the neighborhood and got onto the overpass at a junction.
At this moment, Bayonetta took out a lollipop and began sucking on it. Noticing that Aiden was staring at her the whole time, she asked, "Are you wanting to taste my mouth, or try the flavor of the lollipop?"
In fact, Aiden was very curious about the flavor of her lollipop. But what he said was, "Can I have both?"
"Of course not. You can only choose one, especially when I'm eating a lollipop." Bayonetta licked the lollipop and threw a flirty glance at Aiden. "I hope you choose my mouth. It's much tastier than the lollipop."
"Sorry, but I really want to try your lollipop right now." After saying that, he felt something was off and quickly corrected, "I mean the lollipop in your hand."
"Of course I know. That line should've been mine." Bayonetta's gaze swept across Aiden and then she handed him the lollipop she had already been eating, "You don't mind, do you, Mr. Cat?"
"What do you think? Think about what you did to me last night." Of course Aiden didn't mind. He directly leaned over, took the lollipop into his mouth, then nodded.
It tasted pretty good, turns out it was vanilla-flavored, but still carried the rosemary scent from the witch's mouth.
Hearing what Aiden said, Bayonetta naturally remembered the line she said last night about feeding him her saliva, and she couldn't help laughing.
"But you didn't waste even a drop last night, darling."
"You didn't give me a chance to waste any."
"..."
Driving, Enzo couldn't help but feel speechless hearing the two of them talk. At the same time, he felt even more grateful that he didn't let Bayonetta stay over with Aiden last night, she really would corrupt his kids.
Just then, while sucking the lollipop, Aiden suddenly thought of something. He looked up at the rearview mirror of the car, and sure enough, he saw a sedan following them not too closely but not too far either.
So he asked with a smile, "By the way, Enzo, how long have you been wearing that coat? I've never seen you change it."
Enzo patted his leather coat and proudly said, "Not long, just a little over half a month. After all, it's genuine leather and cost me a lot, so of course I have to show it off. Why? Got a problem with that?"
"I was just thinking, no wonder you didn't notice..." Aiden said with a smile.
"Notice what?" Enzo asked, puzzled.
"If you'd washed your coat, you'd have noticed. But now..." Aiden suddenly leaned forward, reached behind Enzo's collar, and pulled out a bugging device.
"Oh, poor Mr. Enzo. Looks like someone gave you a present and you didn't even notice. You don't even know whom to thank,"
Bayonetta took the bug from Aiden, looked it over in her hand, and said, "Still working. I really hope you didn't leave your coat in the bedroom during this time. Otherwise... it wouldn't be any different from a live broadcast."
Enzo's face immediately turned grim, though he was also confused, "Aiden, how did you know?"
"Back when I first met you, I saw someone put a bug on you." Aiden shrugged. "I was going to tell you, but... sorry, I forgot."
He really had forgotten. If he hadn't remembered that plot point while eating the lollipop, all three of them might have gone back to the bar without realizing they were still being followed.
Since Bayonetta wasn't sitting in the passenger seat now, she naturally wouldn't have noticed.
"Damn it. The person who planted the bug, what do they want? Are they after my family?" Enzo's expression was ugly.
"Probably not. I can feel that person's target is me."
Bayonetta casually tossed the bug behind her, tilted her head slightly to look back, and saw the car following them disappear at the overpass fork.
"Darling, looks like someone still has their eyes on me. Let's hope it's not a man." Bayonetta turned to Aiden and said, "If it's a man, what are you going to do?"
"If it's a man, I'll shove my gun up his ass and warn him not to hit on you." A dangerous light flashed in Aiden's eyes.
Hearing this, Bayonetta's face immediately filled with utter disgust, "Darling, that's a bit gross. If you really do that, I won't let you touch me for ten days."
"Fine then, I'll let Enzo do it." Aiden looked at Enzo who was driving, "You don't mind, do you?"
"Of course I mind! I'm not into men!" Enzo shouted loudly. "I absolutely, damn it, what the hell is going on!?"
Enzo's expression changed from anger to horror, because while he was talking, he saw in the rearview mirror a mid-sized airplane flying directly toward them.
"Is this... a terrorist attack?"
