Levin POV

I was led down the hall by two beautiful maids, I could tell that they were both ghouls, it was obvious all the people in this mansion were ghouls. Shuu should be in the dining hall, because that's where they were taking me, apparently.

The mansion itself was creepy and dark in some places, the carpet colored a velvet purple, almost matching Shuu's hair. But this itching feeling I'm getting... there's no doubt something is wrong here, but I can't get it out of my head.

But that also comes to another point, I haven't had problems with Ghoul And human in almost a month, which is good news, but it makes me worry. It feels as if this is the calm before the storm, and it's just only getting started.

The maids open a door for me to a large room with a fireplace at the end and a large dining room table that spread across the room. They seated me at one end while Shuu came out of another door, all dressed up.

"Welcome! I hope the mansion is for your liking." He said as he sat down at the end of the table, folding his hands together.

A maid pulls out a chair for me and I sit down, wary that the maids are standing around the room, like statues on guard. While it made me feel like our conversation was being watched, it also made me uncomfortable.

Most of the woman looked about in their twenties to thirties at most, and all of them were beautiful. Must pay off to be some type of rich guy like Shuu. I sigh and lean my head on the table.

"Yeah, it's pretty nice." I said, but in reality it was still creepy, sort of.

Shuu snapped his fingers, and more maids came out of the kitchen door,heaving around giant platters. When they set them down, I thought for sure that it would be filled with human organs or something, but when the lids were opened, I found that they were all filled with delicious looking food.

I gulp, my stomach suddenly felt empty. "T-This looks delicious, Shuu." I said with excitement.

Shuu smiled. "I'm glad it's to your taste, it's the first time my maids have made human food. I usually only cook like this for my pet." He said.

Again about this pet, I haven't seen it, but I'm guessing he must love it very much to talk about it so much. I grab spoonfuls of pork and rice, maybe some eggs and bacon. I can tell they got breakfast and dinner mixed up a bit with pancakes and bacon on the table, but their ghouls so I'm not gonna be rude about it.

"That's actually a lot of food, even for a half ghoul." Shuu said with surprise.

I smile. "When I eat human food, it's like I have to redouble the servings." I explained.

Shuu grinned. "Like your pregnant!"

"No, I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant..." I murmured.

I shove a big of working my mouth and almost double over, this stuff was the most delicious pork I've ever tasted! The squishy inside and perfected outside crust. Just the right amount of seasoning too.

I find myself scarfing the pork and eggs down within seconds, downing some water to push it all down. I exhale and clear my throat.

"S-Sorry, it was so good I couldn't control myself." I apologized.

Shuu chuckled. "Its quite alright, my maids are trained is various traits, cooking is one of them." He said.

I turn to the lady who brought out the pork, one of the youngest ones. She looked about just turning twenty. "It was very delicious, thank you." I said, doing a quick bow with my head.
