Chapter 76: An unprecedented feat!
Because everyone was so exhausted, Alex decided to not wake them up. Even his little friend told him to not do it.
Therefore, Alex and Celia made their way to Stella's room. Here, Alex gently bent his body above her bed. Alas, Stella didn't even plan to let him go. In her sleep, she was like a koala that would take her time to leave her favorite spot.
Alex whispered to Stella, awakening her for a second. She noticed her bed, then Alex's voice urged her to lie down.
As Stella was familiar with sleeping in dirty clothes, she promptly used wind magic and plummeted onto her soft bed.
She closed her eyes and unconsciously buried her face in the epic soft pillow.
Celia took a blanket and threw it over her.
"We go to our room now…" Celia whispered like a little detective to not wake up Stella for the second time...
Alex chuckled and followed her.
He also had access to Sara's room. And since Celia was with him, no system could stop him from entering Sara's room.
Her room was quite peculiar. Alex saw Celia's stuff on one side, which was children books and some toys. It seemed like Celia didn't care about her room's tidiness during Sara's absence.
In fact, Alex saw Ubo's bone on Sara's desk…
Woof… Ubo woofed awkwardly, then jumped onto the chair and then the desk. He took the bone and ran away from the room.
Of course, the other side was solely for Sara's use. She spent her time with make-up and other hobbies here. Alex also saw a diary and books the lady her age would like to read in her free time.
He smiled faintly, then put Sara on the bed.
Celia once again was in charge of blankets.
"Alex…" the little detective whispered, "What about Schnee?"
Alex took the blue cat into his arms. He held her close to his chest as if she was actually his daughter. He wanted to see whether Schnee would react to such a teasing move, but the little cat was in too deep slumber.
He shrugged, "I will either put her in Stella's bed or wait for a little for her to wake up. I still have some time left."
Celia grinned, "I want to know what had happened! Ah!"
As the little dullahan realized she had spoken too loud, she covered her lips in a flash. Luckily, her mom didn't wake up, still sleeping with a smile on her face.
Alex looked at Celia with a broad smile, laughing at her minor mistake.
Of course, Celia didn't like it. She pouted and ran away from the room like her good friend Ubo.
"And then… I saw that big wolf… He was so big… Like this big!" Alex spread his arms wide, making his words seem grand and cool.
Celia's blue eyes twinkled. Ubo was the same.
It seemed like Ubo didn't care about other wolves as he found Alex's story cool. He was indeed a loyal and good family member of the Deathwill Household.
"That's why mom had no armor on her! That big wolf destroyed it!" Celia nodded with an understanding.
Alex confirmed her words, turning her little self more proud.
Celia felt like she was getting stronger by understanding the battle flow. Soon, she would fulfill her dreams and become excellent support for her mother!
Ubo supported her with a few faint woofs.
"Alex!" Celia suddenly raised her voice, "There are a lot of black wolves outside. Do you think we would be able to become friends with them after beating them?"
"Huh? That's not how you make friends…" Alex said, but he then thought inwardly, 'Maybe you make friends by beating some common sense into them in this world?'
Celia looked down, "I always wanted to have dullahan and human friends… so I want Ubo to have wolf friends too!"
Alex nearly cried from these words as he found them so sweet.
He wiped off non-existent tears, then lifted Celia, putting her on his lap, "Why won't you become friends with everyone? Remember? I went to the outer world to meet Remia, the forest fairy. You already know how nice she is. I think you will meet her soon."
"Really?!" Celia's eyes sparkled.
Alex smiled widely at her. He then remembered the Aqua Park and how all forest fairies enjoyed nature here. There were many families with their kids here too. In fact, didn't he speak with the funny kid trio?
Alex recalled them and became lost in thought.
Wouldn't it be possible for him to show a little of the outside world to Celia? He had a checkpoint in the forest fairies' capital. It wasn't like Alex and Sara would reveal their location to the dullahans.
Alex pondered seriously about it, but he also didn't want to give false hope to his little friend.
He looked at Celia, who had been looking at him silently.
"Celia… Have you ever dyed your hair?" Alex asked.
Celia shook her head, "No!"
"How is your dullahan control? I don't think I've seen you recently losing your head like during our first meeting," Alex asked the second question.
Celia broadly smiled, "I am becoming stronger!"
"Haha! I am glad. Then, you can expect a little surprise soon. You and Ubo," Alex smiled like a good father, planting a lot of curiosity and expectation in two little hearts.
Celia and Ubo couldn't hide their excitement.
Alex patted their heads gently, "You two should sleep now. It's already late."
"Okay! Good night, Alex!" Celia nodded.
Woof! Ubo nodded.
After these two left him alone, Alex shifted his eyes toward Schnee. She had been sleeping in the kitchen corner. She didn't look bothered by her surroundings and Alex's loud voice.
He sighed, "I guess I will leave you in Stella's room. How could I let you sleep in one of the guest rooms?" His wife in name deserved better.
Stella's bed was also vast, so there would be no problem. Alex also couldn't see Stella moving around and kicking Schnee away from her bed.
After Schnee's kitty form landed on Stella's bed, Alex turned around and left the room with his eyes on the system.
Once again, the system hid many notifications from him…
[You can form Werewolf Spirit(F)]
[You have achieved the unprecedented feat! Your sword has slashed through Wolfen Demon's hungry demon concept.]
Alex's eyes widened.
