CELESTIAL CARP CONTINENT
MAIN HEADQUARTERS
ENTERTAINMENT ROOM
Out of all the known places inside the Celestial Carp Continent, one of the most famous is the Entertainment Room, which is said to house all the entertainames and beautiful art are said to be contained inside this rooht-after places in the Traveler's World
But with the I over the Entertainrip, nobody had an easy ti it
Only those orthy were allowed to enter, and even they were exceedingly rare given the Immortal Empress' attitude
This custom was still retained after Alex and Delia took over the whole continent, and they did not slack down on the security As such, those anted to enter the roo it now
Because of this, the Entertainiven the rarity of its guests
Today however, this situation has changed, as 5 people were given access to use the Entertainiven access' Instead, these 5 were 'forced' to enter the Entertainment Room
[Alina]: …
[Queen Mother]: …
[Professor Frances]: …
[Yao'er]: …
[Milo]: …
These 5 people were no other than the Companions of Alex and Delia, all who looked like they did not want to be inside the Entertainry fro interrupted, as a piece of half-eaten chicken drumstick could be seen on her hand This dru chewn off by Alina, with her face seeets smaller
Queen Mother still has her pissed face since 3 nified inside the room
As for Professor Frances, an undeniable expression of boredo radiated off her body She coupled this expression with a sleepy yawn and a sigh, two things that just nified her disinterest
Yao'er on the other hand was looking at the afore for thenored the snack that was in front of her, as her eyes was only concentrated on Alina and co
As for Milo, well… he's still acting like Milo But his silence this tiiven the current atmosphere of the room
[Alina]: …
[Queen Mother]: …
[Professor Frances]: …
[Yao'er]: …
[Milo]: …
A few more minutes passed by inside the Entertain to break the silence All of the seee
[Alina]: …
[Queen Mother]: …
[Professor Frances]: …
[Yao'er]: …
[Milo]: …
It was only when exactly 5 an to be pressurized by the situation
This person was Alina, and the dru earlier had already entered her sto her without any ways to distract herself anyh touncomfortable from all the weird stares emitted by the other people in the roohtly reddened at this point, an indication that her own All-Seeing Eyes was affected by the aard situation too!
Because of this, Alina was forced to talk in order to defuse the current atht us five here to ave effort for this, I think we should give our own effort too So please don't just stand there and glower at one another Let's talk like we're acquaintances, even if we don't feel like doing it
Alina tried to modulate her voice and she also made sure that her words will be easily understandable This way, there is a chance that the others will hear out what she was proposing
But instead of helping her positively, Alina's words seeainst her
Queen Mother, Professor Frances, Yao'er, and Milo all reacted negatively to what Alina said, and the words that they said just proved this
[Queen Mother]: I a that Alex plans But this? This thing that he wants us to do here? I can't agree with this I have no time to play with Delia's Companions, even if they are technically our allies I just see no sense in this
Queen Mother still sounded like her usual angry self, and she did not mince on her rebuke at all
In fact, the way that Queen Mother spoke her lines left no gaps that Alina can exploit, leaving the latter feeling extremely helpless
[Yao'er]: I-I second that notion! Even if we're allies, I don't think it is necessary for ht be planning soing Milo protectively, with her suspicion-filled eyes still staring at Alina, Queen Mother, and Professor Frances warily
[Yao'er]: I don't like all of you, so don't expectinside, as she realized that even their 'ally' still thought lowly of them
[Professor Frances]: You see that reaction, Alina? Ho here! What use will it be for us to interact with this Spiritualist and Triplicator? They're just kids who can't even drink alcohol! Tsk, if you really want to have fun here, then let's just kick these two kids out and have fun ourselves!
And of course Professor Frances chose this time to propose another questionable opinion, and it was also directed against Alina herself
[Alina]: …
With these people clearly rejecting her proposal, Alina found herself speechless, since she did not envision them to be this rejective
Of course Alina had the feeling that her companions and Delia's Coet-together', but for the that she did not expect
[Alina]: Hey! We're gathered here because Alex and Delia wants us to be closer together! They don't care hoe do it, but at the end of this day, we should be ht?
Alina gave the others an iesture which forced them to answer to her
[Professor Frances]: Of course I know that we're here to have a tea with the Spiritualist and the Triplicator But even if I know that, I still don't like theood today, so I a Can we just do this the other day?
[Yao'er]: I am a minor, so I cannot drink alcohol Since you three are older, then you can just drink alcohol by yourselves As forinside our house will be ahere…
