NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 219: The Fairy-Unfairy Feast
"What the?"
Nolan sat in shock as his eyes rapidly flashed through the area, but they quickly settled, only to widen to their absolute limit.
He found the girl on a tree branch, her hand plucking away one of the green fruits.
Immediately, it headed towards her mouth, and he rushed forward.
"DON'T!" he screamed out as he arrived before her in a flash and snatched away the fruit at the last second.
The tiny girl bared her teeth at Nolan in shock, but Nolan didn't pay her any mind. Instead, he looked at the fruit in his hands.
Right before her, he bent to the ground, and his dagger appeared.
SLASH
The sound of the fruit getting slashed rang out, and the juices splashed onto the ground.
What followed was an absolutely shocking scene.
Immediately, the snow the fruit landed on began sizzling, and steam rose into the air, followed by the snow itself turning into crumbled, inky blackness that faded into thin air like ashes.
In an instant, the ice from the green apple had burned away the snow on the ground and turned it to a burnt mass of ashes.
"Just as I thought..." Nolan said with furrowed eyebrows, and then he threw the fruit away before he grabbed the red apple instead.
Once more, he sliced it apart with his dagger, and the juices dripped onto the ground. But this time, no sizzling sound was made, and the floor simply turned a color of green.
Immediately, Nolan threw the rest of the green fruit in his mouth, feeling a large burst of sweetness clouding his senses.
Only then did he pluck about ten more green fruits from the branches, placing them before the girl.
"This is the Fairy-Unfairy Apple tree," Nolan explained. "It's a poisonous and also sweet fruit that grows in two bunches: red and green. If you bite the red, you'll be fine, as that is the Fairy fruit. But if you bite the green, it's poison that will burn off your organs. So, it's the Unfairy fruit."
"Do you understand now? Not everything you see can be eaten, so definitely receive my permission first before you eat anything. Got it?" Nolan asked her. She stared deeply at the green fruit in his hand for a long time before finally taking a small bite.
Immediately, her eyes widened in realization, and like a monster, she began gobbling down fruit after fruit.
Nolan watched dazedly, and soon his jaw dropped to the ground.
He watched as she grabbed a total of about five apple fruits and stuffed them into her cheeks all at once.
One had to know that just one of the apple fruits was the size of his clenched fist, and the small girl, with her tiny lips, somehow shoved five within her cheeks with seemingly no problem at all.
Only after she stuffed down seven in her cheeks did her throat finally expand, and Nolan watched blankly as the fruits were all crushed at once. Then, her throat expanded largely, and she forced everything down into her stomach, small traces of juices staining her green dress.
It was like she could sense his gaze on her. Raising her head, she sighted Nolan, who was looking at her like a monster with his jaw dropped. Once more, she stared back blankly at him.
"What the hell? How can that tiny mouth of yours carry so much?" Nolan asked as he grabbed one of the apples and tried to throw it into his mouth.
But no matter what he tried, Nolan couldn't cause it to go between his teeth unless he tried to tear one into his own cheeks.
In the end, he could only take a simple bite at once, and the girl took her attention away from him as she carried the remaining apple fruits, popped it into her mouth all at once, and then gulped it down once more.
GRUUUUUUUUM
The sound of her stomach roaring out loudly rang out, revealing she had yet to be satisfied. Nolan, though scared, had no choice but to start gathering up the red apple fruits, particularly choosing the biggest to feed her hunger.
Dazedly, he stood there, watching as she devoured many fruits into her mouth at the same time before her throat expanded and she forced down everything at once.
The scene repeated a couple more times before, finally, Nolan saw her stomach bulge up from under her dress, and then she stopped eating. She spit out the remaining fruits before reclining on a tree branch nearby.
[She ate a total of 350 apple fruits the size of your clenched fist!!!?] the system said.
Nolan simply looked dazedly before he shook himself up.
'Now I at least know her eating prowess is out of this world, and those tiny lips of hers are nothing but a facade. She can widen her cheeks to contain about three of my heads and crush it down all at once. Even her throat can expand.'
'It's like she's built for eating...' Nolan thought to himself, but now that the girl had eaten, that was one more of his problems resolved.
Immediately, he packed up about 600 more of those apple fruits and stuffed everything inside his storage ring.
Now, he at least had enough food for her to last the second day.
"So, I have no reason to worry at all. Now, all I need is to get a clear aerial view of this area. For that, I'll need a high place..." Nolan mused silently, and his gaze stretched around the area. Quickly, he found just what he was looking for.
An especially tall tree whose top dwarfed every other tree in the area.
'That place will do just nicely. Once I see the entire area, then I can decide on my next move...' Nolan thought and he turned his attention to the girl who had a satisfied expression on her face, her hand robbing her huge belly.
