Chapter 259: Giving out an invitation (2/2)

”What do you want to talk about then? Your friends have already left. How about you catch up to them?”

Lake urged Elliot to leave his little restaurant. In a sense, he was telling him to get out of his territory. The little ancestor heard him but showed no intention of taking his leave. Little ancestors come uninvited and go uninvited.

”I am interested in your existence as a whole.” Hearing his words and seeing the intense look in his eyes, Lake trembled and felt a bit offended. He knew he was handsome enough to make many heart flutters like butterfly wings, and he loves when that happens. But he was not at all happy this time as it was a man showing such interest in him. He was straight!

”Don't get me wrong; I am not into robots.” Seeming to read his thoughts, Elliot said those words in a hurry to clear his confusion.

”Ah, I see.” Lake realized that he had misunderstood him and taken him for a pervert that preys on young and handsome robots like him wrongfully.

”What I want is your companionship, are you willing? Shit, that sounds wrong too, right?”

No matter how wrong it sounded, Lake understood that Elliot wanted him to join his party and become a personal chef for him and his teammates.

”You want me to follow you?”

”Yes, I think it is a waste to leave you here. You're an expert chef, and with your level of skills, you can probably best the best magic chef from the place I came from. So, how about it? Do you want to leave behind your stall and follow me to witness the wonder of the universe?”

Elliot wasn't going to spend his life on planet Xavier. He had already decided that after taking care of the mess in Earth and Xavier, he would create a spaceship and venture into the stars, traveling through the endlessness, exploring different planets, mingling with countless civilizations, and experiencing their wonders. Hopefully, he would be able to do that with his wives and companion. After all, a solo tour wasn't as colorful as one with many people.

”I need some time to decide.”

Lake was born in this place. It was his home, and the little restaurant was the embodiment of his lifetime. It wasn't easy for him to just agree to become the companion of someone he had just met!

”When I am going to leave this place, I will visit you once again. At that time, I hope you will have an answer.”

After throwing those words at him, Elliot left the restaurant.

Left behind was a robot with a deep pondering expression on his face.
