Hotpot Time

One particular night, the Warp Corp employee decided to take a different turn from the usual duel he had with the Blade Lineage Mentor.
As soon as there was a slight sign of defeat, he took Kim by the hand and began to drag him away from the bloodshed. Somewhere nice, somewhere a little far.
He was not pleased with this, to say the least.
Bamboo-Hatted Kim Blade Lineage
What now? Is this your way of ending a battle?
Duo W Corp
No, no. I'm just taking you out for once. You looked exhausted back there.
Bamboo-Hatted Kim Blade Lineage
...Have you lost your mind? I never tire when it comes to our feud.
Duo W Corp
Oh, suuuure.
Kim was not pleased, but in no way did he oppose. He follows accordingly, until the two of them reach a restaurant.
Bamboo-Hatted Kim Blade Lineage
.....
Bamboo-Hatted Kim Blade Lineage
A hotpot?
Duo W Corp
Yup! My treat!
Bamboo-Hatted Kim Blade Lineage
I have important matters to attend to, you are surely aware.
Yet as he says that, dishes are already placed onto the table and the pot is filled with boiling soup. The mentor finds himself in one of Duo's most clever traps: Social interaction.
As he continues to try and protest, Duo doesn't make a single effort to try and shush him, only continuing to cook different sides.
Duo W Corp
You know, I kinda miss eating this kinda stuff. But not having to eat at all is totally worth it, don't you think?
Bamboo-Hatted Kim Blade Lineage
Then, for what reason are we here if it is not for you to eat?
Duo W Corp
You're so silly. If I'm gonna kill you one day, I have to make sure you're actually enjoying yourself, right?
Kim blinks. He lowers his head and grunts, annoyed. So this is what he's here for. To talk and socialize. To have a date. Though he should brandish his sword and point it at the Warp Corp employee...
Bamboo-Hatted Kim Blade Lineage
Fine. I accept your offer.
Bamboo-Hatted Kim Blade Lineage
Let us speak of whatever you wish.
...In the end, Kim decided it would be better if the two of them stopped for one day and continued their date, with no worries about time and money.
