Chapter 116 - Investigating Simon (2/2)
”Aaargh!” Dahlia took two of them off and wore the one which covered her eyes already.
”Good choice.” Light sparkled in the light, exuding an aura of pride and satisfaction. He had pleased the Dahlia and gained more favour. Simon would surely think better of him he thought.
”Hmmph! Lucky bastard. You just have quicker hands!” Lenn pouted and crossed his arms, looking away and shaking his head with a disappointed expression.
”I will win next time.” Coliart also did the exact same as Lenn.
”Losers are losers.” Light put on his own set of sunglasses and made a confident pose.
”Enough already!” Malece snapped.
”We have work to do, come help the kids! We need to gather information and find my Hubby as soon as possible!” Malece ordered with a stern look, pointing at the group of children who looked perfect fine and ready.
”But they-”
”No buts! Get to work!”
”Yes, Mistress!” Everyone went to work and gathered the children in a neat formation at a nearby clearing which may or may not have been where the protagonist suddenly died.
In fact, there was a rotting corpse there which Light disintegrated to stop the kids from getting scared.
But who knows? Protagonists all have plot armour right? Probably.
In this day and age, not even a king can stay safe against a dragon.
”First order of business, collect information on the YuLuShu brothers and find out my husband's whereabouts!” Malece stated the goals straight away, without any hesitation. This needed to be done as soon as possible so everyone could move forward.
”Second priority is collecting other relevant information about this world. We need to know about the power scaling, the cities and the history. Local cuisine comes third, we need to understand what we are eating before actually taking them in. We can't exactly go back home whenever we want. That gate won't recharge for another month. So let's all work hard and grow stronger!” Malece finished her invigorating speech, walking over to Dahlia and hugging her.
”Make sure to stay safe out here too. Your dad would really be angry if you managed to get even a single scratch on your face. He might even destroy a city if that happened…”
”Don't worry, mom. I am responsible.”
Simon's group:
VROOM VROOM
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ
”CUT CUT! UNTIL I CAN'T CUT NO MORE!!!” Simon was busy with collecting wood for building temporary shelters. Since his lawnmower technique essentially gave him the ability to cut almost anything, he put himself to great use in the art of deforestation.
”Simon! Don't cut too much otherwise this place might go into climate change!” Michelle yelled in the distance.
”Don't worry! I'm replanting as I go!” Simon tossed a bundle of seeds all over the ground as he passed by with his all powerful lawnmower of doom.
BZZZZT
”Ah! I think I cut a squirrel! Poor thing.” Simon continued cutting through the trees, continuing until he had enough wood to build the homes for around 1100 people.
Jack's group:
”Yo, Mu. How is your sword training coming along?” Tyrone popped out of nowhere in his blossom form, wielding his sword.
”Wanna test it out?” Mu drew his sword and readied himself to spar with Tyrone.
”Stop what you're doing! We have work to do! These houses aren't gonna build themselves! Do you think anyone else has time to spar and have fun? No! Get to work before the Mistress yells!” Jack bonked each of them on the head with a flip flop, moving on to cut some pieces of wood into nicely cut planks. This was truly the fine work of a carpenter.
”Even the disciples have to work so hard… makes you wonder what all of these planks are going to look like once the Blood Guardians are done with them. I bet each of us will be in a 3 bedroom condo. I hope I end up with the both of you.” Mu cheered.
”That'd be cool.”
”I agree.”
