YM778.TV Chapter 992: TRIP FOR THREE
[I want to give her the benefit of the doubt. As long as Lewis has the right to succeed the Spirit World, I don\'t think she\'d do something that she might regret later.]
"We\'re planning to return to the palace to check on Nero," Mama Boss said. "But we\'re going to return here as soon as the construction is done."
"I will leave my Soul Beasts here to rebuild the villa that burned down," Papa Boss added. "But we\'ll be waiting for you here, Neoma."
"Why?"
"Because we want to train here," her father said. "The Spirit World is ideal for Mona and I to train since we both use Spirits. And this world is full of them."
Oh, right.
But…
"Don\'t worry, Neoma," Mama Boss said, smiling as if she could tell what Neoma was thinking. "I\'ll make sure Tara would give us the permission to take longer."
Ah, then Neoma was no longer worried.
[I\'m sure Mama Boss will take care of it.]
"Okay, Mama Boss, Papa Boss," Neoma said, and then she paused for a moment when an idea popped up in her head. "My dear parents, I have a favor."
***
NEOMA smiled at her "children" who completed their last mission successfully.
After talking to her parents, she immediately went to the tent where the kids were staying.
Of course, Lewis was with her.
"Greko, Juri, Jeno, Xion, Paige," Neoma said, calling her "children" one by one with a huge smile on her face. "Good job, everyone."
As expected, the kids\' faces beamed.
[They look proud of themselves, and rightfully so.]
"Thank you, Eomma," Greko said cheerfully. "The mission you gave us helped us increase our team work!"
"Greko worked the hardest. Of course, Lewis is the champion," Juri said, smiling while patting Greko\'s head gently. "But Greko really saved us with his healing and potions."
Everyone nodded in agreement while Greko blushed.
"I\'m happy to hear that," Neoma said, and then she paused for a moment before she gave her "children" a sad smile. "I want to stay with you longer, but I\'m afraid I need to leave again. This time, I\'m bringing Lewis with me."
To be honest, she wanted to bring all her "children" with her.
But Lord Manu said he could send three people at maximum.
Hence, she chose Hanna and Lewis.
[Hanna because I need her skill, and Lewis because I need to raise him since he\'s my Guardian Knight.]
"I\'m sorry— I can\'t bring everyone with me."
"It\'s alright, Princess Neoma," Paige assured her. "You don\'t have to apologize for that. We understand, and we support your decision."
Aww.
[I\'m lucky to have children who don\'t see each other us competition.]
"Is there anything we can do while you\'re away with Lewis, Princess Neoma?" Jeno asked carefully. "Aside from training, of course."
Xion nodded in agreement. "We will never stop training to be stronger and more useful to you, Princess Neoma."
Once again, Neoma was touched.
[I love these kids.]
"I actually need you in different places," Neoma said, and then she explained to her confused "children." "Juri and Jeno, I need you to return to high society. I\'m taking Hanna with me, so I need people who will control the higher nobles in our place. Can you do that for me?"
Juri and Jeno nodded immediately. "Of course, Princess Neoma."
"Great. I\'ll give you the details later. You\'ll be working with Jasper Oppa for this mission," Neoma said, and then she turned to Xion. "I need you to return to the \'Underworld,\' Xion."
The \'Underworld\' in this context was the world of the criminals.
"And I need you to buy people\'s \'mouths,\'" Neoma said. By \'mouths,\' she meant people who would spread a gossip for her. "I\'ll give you access to my funds, so buy as many mouths as you can. I\'ll also give you a shopping list. I have so many things I want you and your guild to sweep all of them at the market."
Xion nodded politely. "I understand, Princess Neoma."
"Very well," Neoma said, and then she turned to Paige and Greko. "You two will learn from the Cosmic Tree while I\'m away."
Paige and Greko looked shocked, understandably. "Excuse me?"
"I\'ll be cheering you on," Neoma said cheerfully. "And, oh, I\'ll leave my Spirits with you to help you train while you\'re doing your missions."
Now her "children" looked even more confused.
"I\'ll leave Soju, my Water Spirit, to Juri and Jeno. Kimchi, my Fire Spirit, to Xion. Mochi, my Wind Spirit, to Paige and Greko. Then I\'ll leave Namoo, my Wood Spirit, here to guard the Garden of Life," Neoma continued, checking if she had forgotten anything else. "Well, that\'s it for now."
***
BOOKS.
Hanna was amazed while reading the books that her father wrote himself.
[Father wrote everything he understood about our shadows as a Quinzel.]
To be honest, when her father said that he knew a technique to master to Black Hole, she thought they would start with practical training.
[But Father asked me to read these.]
It was fine.
Hanna loved reading, after all.
"What are you reading, Hanna?"
Oh, dear!
Hanna was too focused on reading her father\'s theories that she didn\'t notice Neoma\'s arrival.
And the Imperial Princess didn\'t come alone.
[Lewis, too?]
"Neoma, Lewis," Hanna greeted the two while gently closing the book. "What are you two doing here at this hour?"
"Do you want to go on a trip with us?" Neoma said, grinning. "I can\'t guarantee it would be fine, though. But I promise to entertain you so you won\'t get bored~"
"With Lewis?"
Neoma and Lewis both nodded.
"Where are we going?"
"To the Dead World," Neoma said, winking at Hanna. "A world that we can destroy again and again."
Oh.
OHH.
[Neoma knows what I need.]
Hanna couldn\'t help but smile while shaking her head. "You\'re like a ghost, Neoma."
