Lowanna pivoted and looked around in wonder Then she saw one dress Oh Oh
Tatiana smiled a wicked smile Perfect ThatÆs exactly the response you want for what you are wearing tonight Alright letÆs get it sized properly and get you ready
Chapter 2338
Randidly looked up from the paella in the large iron pan with a scowl already forming on his face Warm scents of curry and saffron drifted up from the rice and seafood He didnÆt have a large enough cooking surface on hand so he had been forced to hammer it out himself With his current physical abilities mundane materials were rather simple
Which meant it would also be easy to thoughtlessly squeeze the handle and rip it off on accident but he was managing without any incidents All his powers were locked away for tonightù he was a chef and that was enough Simply cooking was fun the sort of fun he hadnÆt experienced in a long time
All that good cheer vanished as he locked eyes at the unexpected arrival He chided himself for letting his guard down to this degree even while taking a break Such lax observation would be fatal back in the Nexus Fatia Cerulean You survived the explosion
The raptor construct chuckled A minor inconvenience nothing more Certainly very fascinating but the dangerous elements remained far from touching me And I hope you donÆt have any hard feelings about my attempt to cut into that fascinating dance Although you made use of the tools available to you I simply assumed you would prefer if these roles were taken into more reliable hands No offense was meant to that woman Devick
RandidlyÆs jaw clenched very much not having discarded his feelings when he saw Cerulean show up with its jagged teeth and threats Right before Devick had rushed up and used WestrisserÆs weapon to strike at Pine Cerulean had stepped out and confronted her Had Randidly not handed her the moment he had gathered using Seize powered by LowannaÆs Nether she would have not been able to overcome this foe And Randidly knew from experience what sort of remains Fatia Cerulean left in his wake after a victory
I heard a rather interesting rumor regarding Westrisser Do you know that madman is still frantically studying the fallout of the explosion Trying to gather more data for his next unstable attempt at capturing pure destruction The raptor construct clicked its tongue The blue aura around its body was at an all time low tide You have convinced him that this world is simply a memory a reflection of the true world And that soon the bubble will pop The only way for the people who live inside the memory to survive is if you help them You have maneuvered into an excellent position
Randidly straightened and rubbed his chin This was not a situation he had expected He had the word being spread through all peoples so he could get to work tomorrow But he had expected an unreliable element like Cerulean not to believe in the threat He prodded once more to be sure And you have discerned the truth of my words
Even if you exaggerate you are not the type to lie through your teeth regarding this matter And I am aware of the hierarchy of power between us Take me with you and you will have my undying loyalty Cerulean bowed his head just for a moment
The show of deference is nice but definitely you are the type not to mind lying through your needly teeth Randidly pursed his lips He spun the wooden spatula in his hand as he considered then scraped up the bottom of the rice and seafood in the pan then patted it down into a new flattened shape at the moment I am not sure how the process will work Assuming there arenÆt tight limitations I will consider bringing you along
Then I will leave you to your meal With those words the raptor construct flashed its teeth in satisfaction and departed Even this easy retreat felt like a surprise
Randidly had a sour feeling in his belly as he wondered what had brought on this change of heart The Pinnacle event had been wondrous but deference from the raptor construct Several complicated trains of thought writhed together in his mind until a massive knot of uncomfortable constriction remained
First compared to the average power of the Alpha Cosmos Fatia Cerulean was still an apex existence The Pantheon would be able to restrict his actions but few other individuals had yet reached that capability Even if he paid lip service to Randidly he would have an uncomfortable amount of freedom on Expira
Contrary to that first thought FatiaÆs presence would provide some benefits For one the creature was the individual who invented Fates Randidly wasnÆt exactly sure how it had died in reality but the raptor construct likely wouldnÆt cease its attempts to push the envelope if it joined the Alpha Cosmos If it could develop other sorts of abilities or special Skills the Alpha Cosmos would grow in power broadly no matter what sort of tiny dictator Fatia had become
Plus Randidly wanted the Alpha Cosmos to be exposed to some threat to spur growth He didnÆt want to helm a monolithic empire of a universe but one where different factions were allowed to flourish within reason Fatia Cerulean might actually be the perfect size to spur growth
Laying across all those concerns was the impending confrontation with Elhume it could be avoided no longer Not when he had broken ElhumeÆs little urn of regrets sitting at the top of the Sonora So while all those thoughts expressed his genuine feelings regarding Fatia they had no context Considering Randidly was about to enter into the fight he had been working toward for almost twenty years having a powerful free radical like Fatia felt like an extra risk
They stood on a dirt path that led to the quaint little cottage built by Neveah sitting atop the hill and giving a wide view of the surrounding terrain The sun sank low in the sky painting with orange gold colors and shadow to create an even more lovely vista than usual Enmya stood outside the cottage door dressed in a stiff looking robe covered in complex embroidery
Devick blinked several times as she breathed in whatever Hungry Eye was making in the house it smelled good
Lowanna you Enmya seemed to lose his breath for a second looking at LowannaÆs luminous figure wrapped in a small black silk dress with bare arms and shoulders He coughed several times into his hand to regain himself Devick suspected that was exactly the response Tatiana had been aiming for Err how about a stroll before we eat
Lowanna let out a small laugh You wish to walk with me Just like old times Yes Enmya A walk Perhaps you can explain what exactly this dinner is about
The two drifted down the sloped path their voices receding Even with the strange and precarious shoes provided by Tatiana Lowanna proceeded gracefully But while the romance seemed to swell around the other two Hungry Eye poked his head out of the door and waved an impatient hand Come on in Devick Actually this walk is good for us I have a bit of work I wanted to finish before those two return
Devick entered into the cottage and was surprised by the transformation All the extraneous furniture had been removed The bed the side tables the dressers all of it had vanished from their original positions Only the book and flower shelves remained emphasizing a small table with two elegant chairs sitting in front of the far window
Devick frowned Was the window always that big How the hell can you just snap your fingers and make a window larger Images are one thing but this is basic construction
Also she couldnÆt help but notice that the smell of the food was even more intoxicating inside the cottage She gratefully took another deep breath through her nose and almost sneezed at the intoxicating and foreign spice
Hungry Eye flitted around producing candles and placing them in various locations He put a few on the shelves snapping his fingers above the wick in order to light them He rubbed rapidly at the base of a few wax candles with his hand melting the bottoms slightly so he could stick them to the window ledge and make sure they wouldnÆt fall
As he made minute adjustments to the cutlery and the tablecloth he looked over his shoulder Can you bring out the first course Ah itÆs the big pot on the stove There should be bowls on the shelf above the oven
