Chapter 128 Journey to the wasteland 1 (1/2)
2 months passed since the elimination of the invaders, in Mars' building on one of the top floors 4 very naked figures lay crumpled together in a king sized bed, one of the figures suddenly sat up and looked around
'....tired'
Mars resisted the urge to fall asleep again but only just barely and stretched before he climbed out of bed leaving behind Chloe Elsa and Varvei in dreamland, Mars put on some pants and walked up to the window and looked out at the river for some time until his stomach grumbled
'guess I'll go eat something...'
Mars' life had changed in the 2 months since he destroyed the fort, first the most obvious; night activities, he had finally stopped holding himself back and taken the plunge which the girls welcomed with open arms, this Mars of cause found wonderful although the trade off was that he was a little tired in the morning
'it's well worth it though... now let's see what's in the fridge...'
while Mars was rummaging through the fridge for something edible someone was sneaking up on him and suddenly jumped on him and hugged him from behind
”morning Mars”
”good morning Varvei”
it was indeed Varvei, she was the second earliest riser in the household and often trained on the roof early in the morning with her long spear
”how are the other two?”
”still asleep”
”I see...”
”anything interesting in there?”
Varvei peeked over Mars' shoulder into the fridge with great interest, being a half-dragon she, like Mars had a healthy appetite
”ah! dips on the roasted chicken!”
Varvei elegantly slipped past Mars and reached into the fridge and grabbed a piece of roasted chicken which she then proceed to stuff her face with it
”so good~ Elsa's cooking is the best”
”yeah I know, now give me some too”
”but I called dibs on it!”
”...then should I eat you instead?”
”...fine you may have a piece”
Varvei relinquished a piece of roasted chicken to Mars with a pout on her face
”thank you”
”humph whatever...”
”yeah yeah, don't be mad or I won't kiss you anymore”
”...I'm not mad”
”really~?”
”....I'm not mad”
Mars decided to leave Varvei alone and chewed on the roasted chicken as he thought about what he should do for the day, suddenly a zombie, or rather Chloe walked out of the master bedroom, her hair was messy and she was wearing a shirt which was half open, furthermore her green eyes were dim
”toilet...”
Chloe was not a morning person, Varvei stopped eating and helped Chloe with finding the toilet meanwhile Mars decided on his course of action
”I think I'll go to the academy today...”
while Mars was thinking Elsa showed up, she also wore a shit but looked a lot more fit to fight then Chloe and gave a gentle smile when she saw Mars stuffing his face with leftovers
”good morning Mars”
”Morning Elsa, I'm going to the academy today, wanna come with?”
”hmm... no I think I'll stay, say hi to Hanna for me”
”sure”
Mars finished eating and went up to the roof and looked around the rooftop garden before he called out
”Victoria”
”I'm... right here”
Victoria jumped out of a nearby form a nearby brush, she looked a little different then she did a few months ago, her orange stripes was a lot more pronounced and another set of horns was growing from her head, although they were still small
”oh there you are indeed”
Mars kneeled down and petted Victoria on the head which caused her to let out a loud purr, Mars spent some time with Victoria until eventually Chloe and Varvei, both wearing their red mantels came up to the roof
”Mars here's a shirt and your mantel”
”thanks Varvei”
Mars put on his shirt and mantle and looked over at Varvei and Chloe
”you girls ready?”
”yeah I'm good to go”
”me too”
”okay then...”
Mars transformed his left hand and with his claws he slashed out into the empty air as he activated a skill, instantly a rift in space formed and after a few seconds it stabilized, Mars then made a small bow towards Chloe and Varvei
