Chapter 12: Nice House.

(*Celia’s POV*)

Sia’s house was completely safe, so I relaxed once I made my way inside the house. It truly looked like Mika and Sia are very close. I mean, yeah, they’re girlfriends, but you can be in a relationship with someone, and still be somewhat distant.

I didn’t get that feeling from this house, as it felt like an actual home. I was a little bit dirty, and wanted to take a bath, but I can’t at all…

This is one of those times, where I am still confused about those new Mana Crystals… Well, they aren’t new at this point. But they didn’t actually give me every magic possible. For instance, I do not have cleaning magic. Such magic would be very useful at the moment…

Mika: “It’s fine. We aren’t really that dirty. If we get super dirty, then you can take a bath, and I won’t complain about it.” She said with a sigh.

Celia: “That works for me.” I reply with a shrug.

Sia: “I have some leftovers in the fridge, do you want any, Celia?” She asked.

Celia: “What kind?” I ask with a curious tone.

Sia: “Just some fast food.” She replied.

Celia: “I haven’t had fast food in many years, considering that I now live in a fantasy dimension. I would prefer food from there, and I just so happen to have a lot of meals stored in my inventory.” I say with a smile, before putting out some fancy looking steak meals on to the nearby dining table.

Sia: “You eat like this every day?” She asked with a raised eyebrow.

Celia: “Pretty much? I am a Princess, you know.” I reply with a nonchalant tone.

Sia: “No? How would we have known that?… Whatever… Hopefully, this food tastes as good as it looks…” She said with an unsure tone.

Something that I never mentioned, is that Amelie sold her restaurant, and her estate back in Tuseoun. She moved her restaurant to Yona’s kingdom, and some of the cooks stay at Yona’s castle to cook for us.

As such, when Sia took a bite of the food, her mind was clearly blown. Since I figured that Mika can still taste things that I eat, I took a bite as well. She also seemed to be shocked by how good it tasted.

With a satisfied smile, I continued to eat the rest of my meal. Sia lost all sense of maturity and begged me for a second helping. As I am not one to turn down a hot woman, I gave her three extra servings. She ate them all, funnily enough.

Celia: “I would give you more, but I worry about your health.” I say with a concerned tone.

Sia: “I’ll be fine… I just have to work out a lot to lose all of the weight that I will definitely gain from eating this much. It’s worth it, though!” She said with a satisfied expression on her face.

Mika: “Celia! Stop trying to seduce my girlfriend via food!” She yelled.

Celia: “I didn’t cook it, though?” I reply.

Mika: “It still counts!” She pouted.

Celia: “…”

Sia wanted to help clean up the dishes, but I just put them back into my inventory. After that, she suggested for us to just watch some TV. I haven’t seen a TV show in many years, so I was more than willing to go with her plan.

*Some Time Later.*

Yup… Just as vapid and boring as I remember. And yet for some reason, I seem to miss such vapid entertainment… Stupid brain!

Celia: “Should we really be just watching TV right now?” I ask with a serious tone.

Sia: “What else should we be doing?” She asked back.

Celia: “Preventing our deaths?” I reply.

Sia: “Colt is a major coward, so I wouldn’t put it past him to just give up by now.” She said with a shrug.

Celia: “Are you sure? At least back in my original dimension, it would cost you a shit ton of money to hire a PMC. Let alone get them to shoot at people in a first-world country.” I say with a serious expression.

Sia: “How much exactly?” She asked with a curious tone.

Celia: “Maybe a few hundred grand?” I say with an unsure tone.

Sia: “Colt is pretty rich, just like Mika and I. Although it is a lot of money, that kinda bill isn’t that much to people like us.” She said with another shrug.

Celia: “…”

Damn rich people! Well, I am actually rich as well, so I have no ground to stand on. Though, I would wish that Sia and Mika would take this shit more seriously…

*Some More Time Later.*

Sia was in the process of dosing off into sleep, while I struggled to stay awake. Mika’s body is so fucking weak! Why is her body already so tired?

Mika: “Hey! I am a movie star, not a random well-built woman who lives in a fantasy dimension!” She said in defense.

Celia: “Have you considered working out somewhat? It would do you some good.” I proposed.

Mika: “Eh, I’d rather fall asleep unless I have work to do, or I can spend time with Sia.” She replied.

Celia: “…”

Why was I chosen to keep safe such chill women!? Surely, there are other people who can do such a thing, right?… I haven’t met this Goddess yet, and I already have a grudge against her…

Did you know? Sia’s place is one of those houses that rich people buy, that were mostly made out of glass. Even parts of the ceiling were glass.

Very fancy, I would say. Though, when said glass above our heads was broken, it sure wasn’t fun at all having glass raining down on us…

After the glass was shattered, random grenades came shortly after. Though, they were not explosives, but rather contained some kind of smoke. I tried to cover my mouth and nose, but it was far too late, and I breathed some in.

The smoke was clearly a sedative. Sia had no chance of resisting it at all, so she quickly fell asleep. As for me, if I was actually in my body, I would have easily resisted it.

Mika: “Celia, don’t fall asleep!” She yelled.

Celia: “I wouldn’t if your body was so weak!” I yell in annoyance.

Mika: “Stop being rude! I am not in a world where I can get crazy strong like you.” She said in defense.

Ah shit, I don’t have time to argue with Mika… I quickly used wind magic to get rid of the sleeping gas. But the damage was done, and I was slowly slipping into an unexpected nap time…
