บท 48: CHAPTER 47

MELANIE MALACHITE POV

She sat in her bed, feeling giddy as she tapped the ground with her heels in childish excitement.

"Calm down Melanie. Your excitement won't bring them here any sooner." Her sister chided from the kitchen.

"But what if it did?" she asked, knowing well enough that it won't. But she was feeling a bit childish okay. Sue her.

Miltia simply rolled her eyes and went back to working on whatever dish it was that she was preparing for Jaune.

And Pyrrha. Jaune's right-hand girl and his constant shadow.

"If you have time to waste then you might as well come here and help me with some of this." Miltia said while gesturing at the dishes in front of her.

She gave her a raspberry and flopped back in bed.

A moment later, she started to flip around in excitement and realized that laying down just won't work for her.

"I don't understand your excitement." Miltia said from the kitchen.

"How could you not Miltia. We're getting new weapons!!"

"We could always buy more thanks to the funds we stole from Roman and the White Fang." Miltia replied calmly.

"But any weapon we buy from the Weapon stores couldn't be compared to the weapons that Pyrrha and her friend make for us." She exclaimed as she remembered Jaune showing her his own weapon.

It was… there were really no easy words to convey just how good his weapon was.

Suffice to say that she had never seen such a good weapon. And if what Pyrrha said was true then the real value of the weapon was much… much more than they could afford even with the Lien they have at hand.

Pyrrha herself had made new weapons for her.

Of course, her new weapons perfectly resembled her old ones so that people won't realize that she had created new weapons. And her new weapons also worked in the same way as her old ones did.

Except that they were made of a far better quality alloy and could handle even the highest tier dust without needing constant repair and maintenance.

Neo had taken one look at Jaune and Pyrrha's weapons and had asked for her own.

Of course, she and Miltia were here first so they would get their weapons before her.

She remembered the pout of Neo's face as she realized that she won't be getting her weapons any time soon and felt the urge to giggle.

The pout was then wiped away as Jaune promised to make her some Ice Cream with his divine hands.

She drooled upon remembering the things made by Jaune.

Miltia… was a decent cook but she felt bad for comparing her to Jaune but Miltia might as well be cooking her grass peppered with some salt when compared to the things that Jaune made.

Of course, that had only served to make Miltia even more determined to become a better cook so that was good in her own opinion.

Just at that time, her scroll buzzed.

It was a message from Jaune.

"Miltia, they're coming here!" she yelled in excitement.

"But… I'm still not done yet." Miltia said from the kitchen.

She ignored her sister and quickly closed all the curtains of their apartment and made sure that the front door was properly closed before she used the new power given to her thanks to 'All Roads Lead to Home' and opened a portal on the wall.

The portal opened to Jaune's personal Pocket Dimension and she could see Jaune and Pyrrha standing in the distance.

"Jaune! Pyrrha! Here." She said and they turned to look at her before they smiled and started walking toward them.

With two large Black suitcases in their hands.

She felt excitement bubble in her heart as they finally entered the room.

"Jaune!" she said and jumped at him with a hug.

Jaune caught her easily and swung her around before he put her down and let her go in favor of hugging her sister Miltia.

She turned to Pyrrha and pulled her in a sisterly hug.

Jaune must have sensed her excitement through the shroud because he didn't say anything and quickly went toward the Living room where he put down the suitcase on the table, an action which was followed by Pyrrha as she put the other suitcase beside his own.

Jaune looked at them and smiled "Now let me show you the fruit of labors of both Pyrrha and our teammates Ruby and Weiss."

With that, he opened the first suitcase.
