Sukuna strolled back to Elina's flower house, effortlessly carrying the teak wood he had chopped into smaller pieces. Bibble, faithfully trailing behind him in the air, couldn't help but marvel at Sukuna's sheer strength. With a single hand, Sukuna effortlessly hoisted the hefty tree trunk over his shoulder as if it were no more than a feather. Bibble couldn't help but feel that even the strongest fairy in Fairytopia would struggle to lift such an enormous piece of teak.

"Hey, Brat. Quit daydreaming and watch your back. You don't want some fucking savage creature sneaking up on you and ruining your day, do you?" Sukuna teased mischievously, a wicked grin spreading across his face, as he planned to play a prank on Bibble.

However, the joke took a sudden turn as Bibble's fear overwhelmed him and he clutched onto Sukuna's pink hair tightly.

"Oh for Fuck-...! I can't see a fucking thing with your tiny body blocking my view. If you're scared, just hold onto my goddamn shoulder, not my hair!" Sukuna scolded.

Bibble quickly followed Sukuna's instructions, gripping onto his shoulder instead. When they finally reached the front of the house, Bibble let go and quickly flew towards the entrance. Elina greeted them with a warm smile,

"Welcome back! Dinner is ready. Let's sit down and eat," She was relieved to see Bibble and Sukuna return from Misty Moss Woods unharmed.

"Hey, Yujō! Where can I wash my hands?" Sukuna asked Elina, who was busy setting up the dinner table with the delicious food that she had cooked while Sukuna and Bibble away. Despite wanting to correct Sukuna about her name, Elina decided to stay calm and took a deep breath.

"Just walk a little bit inside, towards the kitchen. In the right corner, you'll find a bathroom where you can wash your hands."

Not long after a few minutes, Sukuna returned to the dining room and saw Elina and Bibble sitting waiting for him to have dinner together. Elina also distributed food to Sukuna and Bibble. They ate quietly.

"So, how was your trip to Misty Moss Woods? Did you meet any wild animals in the forest?" Elina asked while eating her hodgepodge salad.

"Nothing, the forest is very quiet. I doubt it, there are any goddamn wild animals living there," answered Sukuna who was still eating his dessert. Elina arched an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued by Sukuna's surprising revelation.

"Seriously? That's quite peculiar," she responded, taking a leisurely sip of her drink.

"Maybe it was just an unusually quiet day or the animals decided to stay hidden. You know how Misty Moss Woods is renowned for its diverse wildlife."

Sukuna shrugged, as he savored the last morsel of his dessert. "Perhaps. But I ventured deep into the heart of the forest, and I couldn't even hear a damn rustle. It felt eerily fucking deserted."

Bibble chimed in, "Yeahto, Elinaboo! Mostyloo is quiteto!"

Elina mulled over the situation, absentmindedly swirling her fork in her salad. "Well, nature has its unpredictable moments. Maybe we stumbled upon a rare instance of tranquility in the midst of a bustling forest."

With those thoughts in mind, the two magical creatures and one human resumed their meal in silence. After they finished eating dinner, Sukuna felt a bit kinder and offered to help Elina clean the dishes they had used. Elina tried to decline the help, saying,

"I can handle it myself." But Sukuna didn't hear her and they reached a compromise. Elina would wash the dishes in the sink while Sukuna dried them and put them away neatly in the cupboard. As Elina cleaned the plates, she accidentally caught sight of Sukuna, still wearing black trousers and a torn shirt.
