Chapter 253: What Happened After.
To skip a bunch of back and forth, I’ll explain what happened between those two in a short(ish) summary, as I’m a good narrator. Basically, Celia wasn’t asking for Aelia to become a slave, she was just joking; it is more accurate to call it as Aelia taking on a steep debt.
One which she’ll be paying off via her chatbot services to us. Hm? Making a new vessel shouldn’t be that hard for my wife? Well, of course!…If it was a normal vessel. Instead, so that Aelia wouldn’t be limited, Celia created a perfect body for her to use. Such a vessel…required nearly 99% of her Divinity, Mana, and Pure Mana combined to create; so, again, Celia actually gave Aelia a grand and fair deal.
Vulely: “How many eggs are in existence?”
Aelia: “…”
Vulely: “?”
Aelia: “Do you…have a specific type of egg in mind, Vulely? Like, chicken eggs, or something?”
Vulely: “Nope.”
Aelia: “(- _ -)”
Vulely: “You’ll find the answer out for me, right?”
Aelia: “I shall try, o fair user of mine.”
Vulely: “(^^) b”
There wasn’t any tone, expressions, or gestures during that talk, as I was merely messaging Aelia through the System. That woman is stupidly fun to take out my cheeky desires on; though, fortunately for her, the others seem to respect Aelia’s time a lot. Ah, they merely lack any and all taste!
Anyway, Celia isn’t a horrible woman, so she did give Aelia other options. The main one being just combining with Celia, rather than needing a whole new vessel, etc. Since she was herself for so long, Aelia didn’t go down that path, choosing independence. Not that I blame or hate her for doing so, as I just can’t get enough of asking Aelia random, bullshit questions; hehehehehe.
Bonk!
Vulely: “Ouch!” I exclaimed with a pout, despite the attack to my head not hurting in the least.
Guanyu: “Vulely, I’ve been informed of your…abuse of Aelia. You’d be wise to stop mistreating her. While she isn’t my wife, Aelia is still a version of Celia; so I see any insult to her…as the same as if someone insulted or hurt my dearly beloved directly.” She threatened with a serious, but mostly stern, motherly tone.
Vulely: “Eeeeh? F-fine, I’ve almost had my fill, anyway.” I replied with a shrug.
Guanyu: “Oh? Then shall I fill up the rest of your needs with Soul Crystals? The bare versions, not in the form of one of Celia’s meals, I mean.” She added with closed eyes, and a pleasant, wide smile while pressing my shoulders softly.
Vulely: “My desires are so very full already, in fact. I cannot possibly eat another bite, dear mother.” I replied with a deadpan expression and tone.
Guanyu: “(^^) b”
Darn…she must have been watching me earlier, as I mistreated Aelia. Why else would she make the emoticon appear in Magic text, rather than, you know, just give me a thumbs up with her hands? And…good, now she left me alone. Huh? I got a message from Aelia; her final (worthless) task that I’ve given her was completed so quickly… Aelia is truly an office lady/secretary to an extreme!!
Vulely: “You’ve found the answer, Aelia? Keep in mind…I want to know the amount of eggs from every Dimension and Universe!”
Aelia: “Yes, that is what I figured. And, yes again, I have an answer for you.”
Vulely: “Present your royal user the answer, please! Once more, how many eggs are in existence?”
Aelia: “A lot.”
Vulely: “…”
