Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 524 More Interlude I have exam tomorrow, so this is the best that I can write...

[Asteria]: Hooman, why are not acting aggressive to Alina? Even if she was your partner, it is not right for you to act like that! You... you are an Abyss Envoy, someone who’s not meant to be acting like this!

[Alex]: Why do you care about that, Asteria? You don’t seem to be this nosy before... What made you become interested in my plight now?

[Asteria]: Oi hooman, why are you becoming suspicious of me again? I am offering to help you here, and that’s what you say? Hmph, something is really wrong with you...

[Alex]: You are a fairy, a creature who cannot understand the thoughts and emotions of humans like me. So don’t act like you know the matters of romance.

[Asteria]: Hah?

[Alex]: Hmph, you think I don’t act like how I should around Alina? If you think of that, then just keep it to yourself! Tsk, what a little dumb fairy. No wonder many hates you...

[Asteria]: What did you say?

[Alex]: Nothing. You know what? Why don’t you just go back to your nest and guard your food there? I think Sierra’s there again, ransacking your honey stock once more.

[Asteria]: That little bi- baby’s stealing my food again? Argh, you are so dead to me now!

[Alex]: Oi, what did you say?

[Asteria]: Ah, I said that Sierra will be disciplined properly after this.... There’s nothing that I said related to killing. You can sense that I have no killing intent, right?

[Alex]: ...Just scram and go back there. I want to get back to cooking already.

[Asteria]: Fine.... Go back and cook for your lady boss. Seriously, why can’t Alina cook by herself? If she likes food, then she should be the one cooking it. Doing it this way is just-

[Alina]: You want me to cook? Fine, I will be starting now. And the first ingredient shall be you, Asteria.

[[[Alina, who suddenly loomed behind Asteria, said as her whole body released a menacing aura. Seeing this made Asteria tremble, and it got worse after she heard what Alina just said.]]]

[Asteria]; H-hey, female hooman. Did you hear what I was saying? I was just joking you know.

[Alina]: Alex, why is this ingredient talking? Is this a magic ingredient? Hehehe, if I cook this, will my food taste better?

[Asteria]: Oi! I’m not a talking ingredient, I am a fairy queen!

[Alex]: Oh, this ingredient will surely taste nice. It has been fed with honey every day, so be assured that its body will be both tender and sweet...

[Asteria]: Hey Alex! If you meant that aesthetically, then I am fine with it! But you’re talking about eating me, right? Oh goodness, please don’t do that to me!

[Alina]: Hm, it’s hard to grab this ingredient. Alex, do you have a net that you can use there? I shall capture this ingredient in one fell swoop...

[Asteria]: Hey, I’m out of here! You two... go do what weird stuff what you want to do without me!

[[[[Asteria flew away like a scared rabbit at this point, leaving Alina and Alex shaking their heads at her sudden retreat.]]]

[Alex]: And there she goes. Stupid little fairy. Why can’t she just let us do our things in peace?

[Asteria]: Alex, give Asteria some slack. She is a fairy, so her mentality is different from us. You cannot just expect her customs and attitude to match ours...

[Alex]: So what, you’re okay with Asteria sleeping in Queen Mother’s cleavage everyday? Hmph, even if Queen Mother has no qualms with that, we have to children with us! What do you think will Sierra and Kiera do when they see Asteria’s sleeping habits? They could try emulating that on others!

[Asteria]: Alex, you sound too paranoid to me. There’s no way Asteria’s sleeping actions can be that bad. Give her some slack.

[Alex]: Oh? What about the time when Asteria tried to make an extra fairy? Surely that is not a good action!

[Asteria]: Well-

[Alex]: Alina, Asteria tried to convince Professor Frances to make a new fairy out of the organic materials out there! And Asteria wanted that fairy to be her loyal servant! My goodness, what do you think could have happened if Professor Frances agreed? A new abomination might be born, someone that will be loyal to Asteria!

[Alina]: ...

[Alex]: Don’t give me that silent, judging look Alina. You know that one fairy is already is a trouble for us. But two? Hmph, that might make things even more chaotic!

[Alina]: I get it, Alex. You don’t like Asteria’s chaotic actions, as you fear that it will jeopardize us. But look at us now. We have been staying with Asteria for months, and yet nothing major bad thing has happened to us... If we can stay like this for the years to come, then there should be no problem with Asteria’s stay.

[Alex]: ....

[Alina]: Alex, please loosen up your attitude on Asteria. Sure, she might be rude, stupid, and b**chy, but she is loyal to us in the end.

[Alex]: Loyal? Alina, you know what that fairy did in the Immortal’s World! She contacted the Great TimeMaster while we are in our mission! Is that a sign of loyal-

[Alina]: Alex, please shut up or I will personally slash that mouth of yours.

[Alex]: Ok, I will shut up now.

[Alina]: Good. Now, once you see Asteria later, you will apologize for alienating her. As for Asteria, I will also ask her to apologize to you. Do you have any problem with that?

[Alex]: ...Nothing.

[Asteria]: I have no problems too, female hooman. But why should I apologize too? I did nothing wrong here!

[Alex]: What the f**k Asteria? I thought I told you to leave? Why the f**k are you here then? You... are you eavesdropping on us?

[Asteria]: So what if I am? Your conversation is just so interesting that I could not help but listen in..

[Alex]: You...

[Asteria]: Hehehe, I am really happy that Alina stood up for me. She must really like me as a pet. Sigh, if it is for you, Alina, then I will be fine on getting petted. You’re the one who defended me after all.

[Alina]: ...Alex, why is the talking ingredient back? Oh, nevermind. Let’s just cook it now.

[Asteria]: Wait! I am just joking! I really did not listen in! I-I will leave now, ok? This time, it is real, I promise!!!!
