Chapter 499: Exploration (1) (1/2)

Since we had a day before truly exploring the high-end Waste Disposal Site that was known as Atlantis to the Earthlings, I used that time to accompany my mother.

Naturally, some of the girls went with me, especially those who were not that scared of her.

Right. Some were somehow scared of her because of how easily she could nag at me and I couldn't find words of rebuttal.

It's not pure fright but they're afraid that she would also nag at them and they wouldn't be able to say something in fear of getting on her bad side.

I already told my mother about everything about me and how the world would change from now. As for my father's identity as someone who has lived for perhaps a millennium and someone even stronger than me currently, I'd leave it to him to break that news to her.

”Mom, we'll be off.”

After spending the night here in the house the sly old man gave to them that was near the Academy, we're now all geared up to go to the exploration.

The night was kind of chaotic since the room my mother set aside for me was somewhat small that not everyone could sleep on the same bed as me.

Apart from the two who would accompany me, the other free spaces where they could lie down were decided via another competition.

Competition using playing cards.

And because it was a game that relies on reading someone, luck and prediction, Yuko won effortlessly.

However, when my mother heard about why they were playing cards, I got another earful and just told us to use a bigger bed so that everyone who came with us could sleep comfortably.

And due to that, the girls all joyfully called her 'mother' filled with affection. And that's even if some of them were supposed to be older than her, physically.

Well, we didn't talk about their age anyway. If my mother found out that Fleur and Irja were already more than a hundred years old, how would she take that fact?

”Daisuke. Must you take them to those dangerous places you mentioned? Why not settle here? And if you really want to live with all of them then let's get you a house.”

My mother asked as she looked on worriedly at everyone. Our strength might be somewhat foreign to her, however, she knew that our destination wasn't anything normal. And that danger could possibly befall any of them.

”I must, mom. I'm sorry.”

”I'm sorry too, mother. It's truly impossible for us to stop. Dai-kun, he… he will not let any of us down.”

As someone who had already established her position in my mother's mind even way before all this, Yuko grabbed her hand and apologized.

”I get that but you girls. You're also strong, right? Nag at him for me if he ever neglected you. I'll be expecting all of you to come back here before that plan you told me about leaving the Earth. I'll call your father back so we can send you off. Haa… That man is going places.”

Although with a slight irritation when she mentioned my father, my mother, Keiko expressed her sincere concern about us. And clearly feeling that, everyone had a smile on their lips

”Un. Leave it to us, mother. This monster, err… Daisuke will receive it from us if he ever does that.” Erin also stepped forward. Although she's kind of rough with how she moves, my mother actually instantly guessed that the girl lived a hard life, hence her slightly wild attitude.

After Erin, Avelin, Reinys, Elise, Fleur, Irja, Yumiko, Nysia and Leianne copied the first two, reassuring my concerned mother that we would all come back with everyone.

After leaving with the girls who came with me, we then picked up the others who remained at the island before opening another portal to the gathering place of the Heroes and Transcendents that would come with us.

At the moment, I was standing in front of them and was giving the background of the place we were going to explore.

The high-end Waste Disposal Site. It was actually called the Central Revitalizing Factory that was created to recycle outdated or defective technologies.

The one who ordered for it to be made was the strongest Family of this Central Region or the former Noble House situated in this region of the former Earth.

They were hoping to actually go back and become another one of the strongest Noble Houses on Earth again. However, they always failed spectacularly.
