Chapter 100: A Morning.

(Celia’s POV)

Once it was morning, I had woken up before Guinevere did. It was pretty cute seeing her sleep… I felt like waking her up would upset me, so I got out of bed without waking her up. Guinevere funnily seemed to reach out for, as the warm pillow that she was holding onto vanished. How cute…

As a career woman, she was likely to wake up anytime soon. As such, I decided to make breakfast for her. The fridge was full of ingredients for me to use, which was good. Now then, what should I make…

It had been a while since I’ve made food for anyone, but luckily, I still knew how to do so. By the time I finished making her an American breakfast, Guinevere had woken up, and groggily made her way into the kitchen. Probably to make food herself.

Guinevere: “Celia?…” She said with a shocked tone.

Celia: “Good morning, I made you some breakfast.” I say with a smile.

Guinevere: “…”

Celia: “What’s wrong?” I ask.

Guinevere: “Are you trying to seduce me?” She asked.

Celia: “No? I figured that you would be going to work early, and I wanted to repay for giving us a place to sleep tonight.” I reply.

Guinevere: “I see…” She replied.

I gestured for her to sit at the table, and she did. Putting her food in front of her, I saw Ria and Yona come downstairs as well. Luckily, I had made portions for them, too.

Ria: “I can’t recall if I’ve ever eaten your food, Celia.” She said with a thinking pose after taking a bite.

Yona: “I don’t think that we’ve ever had food that she’s made.” She agreed.

Celia: “Well, there was always someone or some cook that would make our food.” I reply.

Ria: “That reminds me, Celia. The food stored in your inventory is spoiled now, as you were out of your body. I’ve taken the liberty of removing them, so please be aware that you don’t have anything on hand to eat.” She informed.

Celia: “Noooo! My stockpile of food!!” I exclaim.

This earned me a few laughs from the three, much to my pleasure, as that was my intention. That is to say, to be funny. After breakfast, I offered to drive Guinevere to work, but she denied my offer. She had her own car, and she knew that I was leaving soon.

Ria: “Guinevere… Could we perhaps stay here?” She asked.

Guinevere: “I am not home much, but is there a good reason?” She replied.

Yona: “Our original dimension was destroyed, now only being basically an empty void plain.” She said with a sigh.

Guinevere: “And Celia? What is she doing?” She asked.

Ria took the liberty of explaining our circumstances, which took only a few minutes. We didn’t want to hold her up, after all. So her explanation was as fast and as barebones as possible. Guinevere was a very busy person, and her time was valuable.

Guinevere: “I understand. Rather than stay here, you’re welcome to stay in a different estate of mine. Frankly, it is a bigger one, and you and your family can comfortably stay there until Celia saves everyone.” She explained.

Celia: “Our family, Guinevere.” I correct with a smile.

Guinevere: “…Yeah.” She replied with a smile of her own.

She informed of the other estate, and then she left for work. With Yona and Ria in tow, I drove my new car to another estate of Guinevere’s. She was right, it was much bigger… Why doesn’t she live in this one? Her reasoning was that her current estate was closer to her job.

That being said, this place was big enough to house at least fifty people. Guinevere even gave us the keys to it, so getting the gate open was easy. Once inside, I parked the car in the garage. Stepping out of it, us three started to explore the estate.

It was very grand, but decently minimal to a certain extent. It was hard to explain, actually. Regardless, it was a very nice place. This place would be more than enough to house our family for a decent while. And just like the fridge at her current estate, the fridge here was stocked up.

Well, that is kinda just cheating. The fridge and pantry was completely full always. That is just how it is in Heaven. No one will ever go hungry here, and there is no such thing as homelessness. Even before God got invested in Heaven again, it was a very amazing place.

Ria: “We need to get permission, but I feel like Heaven would be the best place for us to live in.” She said with a thinking pose.

Yona: “Living in Heaven, even though we’re alive? Is that even possible?” She asked with an unsure tone.

Ria: “Celia has such a good relationship with the powers that be. I am sure that she can convince God to let us stay.” She reassured.

Celia: “Even if I could, why do that?” I ask.

Ria: “While being here, this is the first time that I’ve seen you so relaxed, Celia. While in our dimension, you wouldn’t relax at all. Here, there are no problems for you to fix or help with. It is peaceful.” She explained.

Celia: “…”

I guess that she is right. In all of my second life, being here right now, where nothing is really going on, is the first time I’ve relaxed. I had honestly forgotten what this felt like… Though, I know that it will be short-lived, as I need to save the rest of my family.

Yona: “Then, once this is over with, Celia, please ask for this to be a reality. We all have long since struggled to get you to relax.” She pleaded.

Celia: “I’ll try.” I reply with a nod.

Ria: “Unfortunately, even once she saves everyone, it won’t be over.” She said with a sigh.

Yona: “What do you mean?” She asked.

Ria: “I will explain it later, once everyone is here. As it will affect everyone. At the very least, Celia won’t have to plead to God for a decent while.” She replied.

Celia: “That’s pretty scary sounding…” I say with a nervous tone.

With Ria’s reassuring that everything will be okay, I prepared for my next trip. Ria will be by my side during it, but I will not be able to contact Yona at all. As such, I wish to spend the rest of the day with her. Just judging from the last time, it will be a while until I can see her again, after all…
