Capítulo 114: Greeting
"Welcome to my world!"
I couldn't help but smirk at the shocked face of Valerie. It is amusing seeing all the shocked faces of others when they see my pocket dimension. Even Ophis has the same expression when she comes here.
"Is this… Is this another world?"
"You can say that. Come on, let me show you around."
I then begin to show Valerie around. After a few minutes of walking around the mansion, we decide to take a lunch break. For today's lunch, I decided to cook some noodles or, more specifically, a Drunken Noodle.
I really want some spicy food now. Of course, I also cook other dishes as well, just in case Valerie did not like or cannot handle spicy food.
It took a few hours to cook the food, and after I finished cooking, Lucina helped me place the food on top of the tables. I frown a little when I see Valerie hesitate when the food arrives.
"Valerie? Is there something wrong?"
".....No"
"Please tell me if there is something wrong. You are here as our guest, not as a prisoner."
".... Can I really eat all of this?"
I look at her with a shocked expression. What kind of place did she live in to make her hesitate about eating the food without permission?
"Of course! You can even eat all of them! But you need to do it fast before Ophis decides to eat all the food in front of you."
Valerie and I look at Ophis, and true to my word, Ophis is already inhaling the food. Ophis eat all the food, even the extra spicy Drunken Noodle I made.
"Come on, eat. There is a lot of food you can enjoy here. You don't need to ask for permission to eat food if you are hungry. You don't need to beg for it. Ask me, and I will make you some food. As long as I'm not busy, I will cook it for you. Or you can cook your own food. My wife over there is learning how to cook, and you can learn how to cook with her if you want to."
"En. Thank you… Thank you so much."
"Think nothing of it."
I smile at her and give her a head pat before I go back to my food that, for some reason, is gone. I look at Ophis, who innocently slurps my noodles.
"Ophis…"
I sigh a little when I see her look in the other direction while still chewing my noodles. I take another noodle from the big bowl and put it on my plate before I begin to eat it. I look at Valerie, who decides to take the Drunken Noodle into her plate and begin to eat some of it.
When I see her widen her eyes and see her face turned red, I know that he cannot handle my type of spiciness. Lucina decides to help Valerie and give her a glass of water before saying.
"Sorry about that, dear. Isaac's brand of spiciness is too much. Only a few people can handle his type of spiciness."
Valerie drinks the water in a single swing before looking at the noodle on her plate.
"I can do it."
"You don't need to force yourself to eat it, you know?"
"No. I can do it."
"I see. Then go ahead."
"Thank you."
For the next few minutes, I see Valerie struggling to eat the Extra Spicy Drunken Noodle. In the end, she cleaned up her plate of Drunken Noodle with red lips and a bright red face. Her usual pale face became red and sweaty after eating the noodles.
"Good job"
I praise her and give her a head pat. After patting Valerie's head, I feel someone tugging my shirt. I look down and see Ophis presenting her head toward me like a child asking for praise. I smile at her and give her a head pat as well.
"Good job for eating all your food."
As I pat Ophis's head, I feel her give a soft purr. As time passes by, I start to think that Ophis is a cat, not a dragon.
~2 hours later~
"Now, let us continue the lesson about alchemists."
Right now, I give a basic lecture about Alchemists to Lucina, who decides want to learn about Alchemists. If she wants to make a weapon like Balmung, then she needs to learn about Alchemist.
Sitting next to Lucina is Valerie and Ophis. Valerie decides to want to learn about Alchemists as well, while Ophis… Well, she came here to eat some cookies.
"Any alchemist process has four distinct processes. These are Nigredo, Albedo, Citrinitas and Rubedo."
I flick my finger and conjure a blackboard and chalk. I then use my magic to let the chalk write what I said.
"Nigredo! Nigredo is the stage of putrefaction or decomposition, the dissolution into the base component. Albedo! Albedo is the stage of purification, where the base components are cleansed of their previous associations. Citrinitas! Citrinitas is the stage of reconstruction, using the purified substance gained from Albedo to create something new. Lastly, Rubedo! Rubedo is the stage of hardening or stabilization, where the new creation is imbued with its own unique identity that prevents it from unraveling."
After I said that, Lucina raised her hand and said.
"Is that all the stage of Alchemist?"
"Of course not. Those are merely an overview of the alchemist process, and each individual stage has multiple sub-stages that require extensive knowledge to do correctly."
"I see."
"Now! We will begin with-"
I stop mid sentences when I feel someone is standing outside the portal. Not only someone, but it was also a group of people.
"Isaac? Is there anything wrong?"
"Someone is standing in front of the portal. A group of people."
"Cat and Albion."
I snap from my thoughts and look at Ophis.
"Pardon me? Can you repeat that, Ophis?"
"Cat, Albion, Monkey, and Blonde Siblings."
"Ah. Kuroka, Vali, Bikou, Arthur and Le Fay Pendragon?"
"En"
Does Kuroka tell them where we are? Does she not still have a contract with Ophis?
"Ophis, can Kuroka tell the other about my secret?"
"No. She can't."
Then how do they know where we are?
"I guess they can wait. I don't want to let them in. Let us focus on our lesson for now."
~5 days later~
I must praise their stubbornness. The group that comes to the portal of my pocket dimension still stays near my portal. While I don't want to meet them, Lucina and I need to get out and buy some formal clothes for Valerie and Ophis.
The reason? Tomorrow is the day we will meet Amaterasu and Susanoo to get our payment for selling Adamantium to them.
With a heavy heart, Lucina and I walk away from the portal. We could, of course, use the time control of the portal to get back in time where we walk inside the portal with Valerie, but we did not want to wait for another week to meet with the Shinto faction.
Lucina, Ophis, Valerie, and I walk into the portal, and a second later, we are inside a rather familiar alley. However, there is something different in the alley. Instead of an empty alley, there is a tent outside our portal and inside the tent is a rather familiar face.
"You know, I never thought to see an S-class criminal, the grandson of Lucifer, The descendant of Sun Wukong, The descendant of King Arthur, and the descendant of Morgan Le Fay make a camp in the middle of an alley like a beggar."
