Chapter 574: Like Father, Like Daughter. (1/2)
Elise brought her daughter cookies, placed them on the table, and made hot chocolate. She sat down on the mat in front of Little Emma and noticed that she looked to have grown up for a few years now. She knew at least a little about the [Dimensional Room]. Elise knew how incredible this was, and now her daughter has literally become a dragon among humans.
She was not only strong but also very smart and has a foster father who protects her. If her situation were simpler, as was Mizuki's, she would indeed be tempted by the times Theo flirted with her and had that kiss... However, she didn't feel good enough for him.
Little Emma took a cookie and ate it. Then, after sipping some hot chocolate, she stopped and looked at her mom, ”Mom, you're so beautiful, and you have a great personality; dad loves mom too, so why?”
”Girl.” Elise patted Little Emma on the head and sighed, ”Adults have their reasons, and I just can't. Now eat your cookies. By the way, are you staying the night here tonight?”
”Yes!” Little Emma nodded.
”Okay, I'll clean your room.” Elise left without a second thought.
'Humph! If Mom is going to play hard to get, I'll make dad come get me; I want to see her resist his charm.' Little Emma thought and put her hand over her mouth as she giggled: ”Shishshi~.”
The moment Elise returned, she saw Little Emma look at her seriously and speak to her telepathically: [Mom, listen to everything I'm going to say and act calmly.]

The threads of mana stopped moving towards Theo when he stopped meditating. His clones fell apart, and all the mana was transferred to the main body.
The outfit he wore, consisting of a white V-neck T-shirt and black dress pants, and white sneakers were wet with sweat, Theo used [Clean] on his body, and all the nasty odor was gone.
His children surrounded him the instant he stopped meditating. Although only one day passed outside the [Dimensional Room], inside the [Dimensional Room], several days had passed.
”Dad, play with us!” Little Yumi, who usually likes to train, missed playing with Theo after he was reclusive for almost one month.
”Yes.” Theo gave a small smile and added, ”Let's eat some first. Are you hungry?”
”Not a lot.”
”I'm!”
”A little bit.”
”I am going to eat!”
”If it's sweet, Yui wants it.”
”I want candy too.”
”I want a lap!” Little Sophia and then Little Gustavo said, ”Me too!”
”...Well, let's go inside first.” Theo hugged each of them and carried Sophia and Gustavo in his arms.
”Let's go in too.” Shina said, ”I'm going to prepare a few things. Mizuki, Yuki help me.”
”Yes,” Mizuki and Yuki agreed.
Helena also joined, she already got acquainted with the girls after one month spent together with them, ”I know how to make sweets~” She said.
”Wanting to win Theo through the stomach?” Ariana hugged Helena's neck in a friendly way and let out a playful giggle when she said, ”That's right if you know how to make candy, at least half of our kids will start to like you a lot. Theo is also fond of sweets, and he is a lover of sweet and sour things at the same time. Like a lemon cake or strawberry and chocolate.”
Helena smiled and kissed Ariana's cheek, ”Thanks for the info.”
”My pleasure~” Ariana laughed, not minding the kiss.
The living room was huge, more than ten meters long and wide. In the lower right corner, there was a row with ten 50-inch televisions and ten video game consoles; each console had four controllers. Even Yuki and the girls played with their kids. And in the center of the living room is a gigantic dining table.
Zaira puts her hands on the back of Theodore and Luise and says softly: ”Children, go to the bathroom and wash your hands.”
”Yes.” Sophia and the rest followed them towards the bathroom.
Downstairs, Theo made something similar to a school bathroom, with the female and male parts and with several divisions, since he had many children, it was more practical that way.
”By the way, has Emma gone to see her mother?” Theo asked as he sat down in the chair at the end of the table.
