Chapter 124: Tea Party with Best Friend (Mother-in-law)
After resting for a few days in the world of Golden Courtyard, Xue returned to the timeline of the post-Houkai Book.
Because he now possessed the power of the end, at least in the system related to the sea of trees, he no longer had to worry too much about the speed of time.
Because her daughters Kiana and Mei are busy with work, Xue is the only one at home now.
After thinking for a moment, Xue decided to visit Mei's parents. After all, as in-laws, she had never met them before.
Xue did what she said and called Theresa immediately.
"Hey, Xiaoxue, what's going on?"
At this moment in the Destiny Base, Theresa, who was correcting documents, saw that the caller was Xue and immediately stopped what she was doing.
"I'm going to visit Mei's parents. Can you help me contact them?"
Hearing this, Theresa also understood what Xue meant.
Indeed, the two parties are already relatives, but the parents of both sides have never met each other, which is indeed quite wrong.
"Okay, I'll contact Arisa now. Xue, you wait a moment."
"OK."
With that, Theresa hung up the phone.
A moment later, Xue's communicator rang.
"Hello, Senior?"
"I've already contacted Arisa, and I've sent her home address to your communicator."
"Oh, by the way, Cecilia and Alexandra are there now, they're having a tea party right now."
Hearing this, Xue couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She was afraid that the meeting between the in-laws would turn into a tea party among the best friends.
"Okay, I understand. Then you go ahead and get busy."
"Well, call me if you have anything."
After hanging up the phone, Xue glanced at the address on the communicator and disappeared from the spot.
……
Changkong City, high-end residential area
Following the address on the communicator, Xue arrived at a Japanese-style villa carrying a lot of things.
As if sensing the arrival of snow, the gate of the villa's courtyard opened automatically, and a young woman who looked 80% like Mei came out to greet them. It was obvious that this was Mei's mother.
"Sorry to bother you, this is just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
"I'm sorry for the expense~" Looking at the bags that Xue was carrying, Lei Dian Yousha quickly took them. He had to say that this relative-in-law whom he met for the first time was very thoughtful.
After putting away the gift prepared by Xue, Lei Dian Yousha took Xue directly through the villa and came to the yard at the back.
Seeing Xue coming, the other two people in the courtyard waved and greeted her.
"Xue, we have been waiting for you for a long time~"
"Hurry up and sit down."
Xue was still a little reserved towards these three friends who had a close relationship with her but were not very familiar with her.
But as they chatted, this restraint suddenly disappeared, and Xue completely blended in.
"By the way, where are Ryoma, Siegfried, and Mr. Alexei? Aren't they here?"
Taking a sip of black tea, Xue was quite curious about why these three people were not present.
"Just like us, they have their own little get-togethers. They're probably grilling skewers and drinking together at some barbecue restaurant right now."
Just as Cecilia said, right now in a barbecue restaurant somewhere in Changkong City, our three male comrades are having their daily drinking competition.
Although it is a competition, the outcome was actually one-sided.
After all, when it comes to drinking capacity, Siegfried and Raiden Ryuma are far behind Alexei, the orthodox Russian bear.
"That's it."
"By the way, Xue, Theresa told me that you can still mobilize some of your Herrscher's power, right?"
Everyone present knew about Honkai's existence, so there was no need to hide it.
"Sister Cecilia, what you said is a little wrong."
"My strength has been gradually recovering, and now it's around 50% restored. As for my powers, including 'Origin' and 'End', I can call upon them all."
Hearing this, Cecilia couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Does that mean you can still return to your former self, Xiaoxue?"
"That's more than that. When I first fought against the End, I was just the Origin. But now I have the power of the End. When I fully recover, I will only become stronger."
"It will probably go directly from a planetary level capable of reconstructing the Earth-Moon system to a stellar level capable of extinguishing the sun."
Xue has no intention of revealing her true level, which is close to the cosmic structure level, for the time being.
But even if it was just superficial stellar power, it was enough to shock her three good sisters present.
"Extinguishing the sun...that's a little hard to imagine."
"It's actually not that bad. After all, Xiaoxue saved the entire world and is a hero worthy of being praised as a legend and a god."
"Yes, if it weren't for Xiaoxue, we wouldn't be able to have a tea party here and enjoy such a peaceful life."
"Anyway..." Arisa, Cecilia, and Alexandra smiled at each other and looked at Xue together.
"...Thank you, Xiaoxue~"
Hearing the thanks from the three good sisters, Xue smiled, feeling a little helpless.
"Well, seriously, what are we talking about gratitude or not~"
……
Before they knew it, evening arrived. Xue said goodbye to her three good sisters and returned to Kiana's home.
Kiana and Mei in the kitchen were not surprised to see Xue walking out of the empty bedroom.
"Mom, you're back~"
"You're back, huh? Is Mei making dinner?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Mei poked her head out of the kitchen when she heard Xue calling her name.
"Do you need my help?"
"No need, I can do it alone, Mom, you can watch TV with Kiana for a while."
Hearing Mei say this, Xue didn't say anything. In this collapsed world at this time, she has already entered a retirement life in a sense.
As soon as they arrived in the living room, Kiana immediately asked about Xue's schedule for this afternoon.
Xue had nothing to hide about this.
"Nothing, I went to visit Sister Arisa this afternoon."
"Oh, I see. Speaking of which, Mom, this is probably your first time meeting Aunt Arisa, right?"
"Yes, and it's not just Sister Arisa. Sister Alexandra and Sister Cecilia are also there today."
"Hey~Are Aunt Alexandra and Mother Cecilia here too?"
"Yeah, what a coincidence! I originally just wanted to visit Arisa-san, but it turned out to be a tea party between sisters."
"It's a coincidence indeed."
……
After enjoying the delicious dinner cooked by Mei, Xue returned to the room.
The previous tasks have accumulated three ten-consecutive draws, and Xue is ready to draw them immediately.
But this time, Xue's luck seemed to be only average, with one gold and two purple items, and the rest were some classic fashion junk that were of little use.
Looking at the golden ball of light in front of her, Xue held it.
In an instant, a memory from the distant other side of the world flooded into Xue's mind, and an illusory golden holy spear appeared in her hand. Its name was the Spear Shining at the End "The Most Fruitful and Brilliant Spear".
Yes, this golden light is the life and power of a king named King Arthur, and it is also a fragment of Xue's soul in the Type-Moon world.
"..." After reading the memories of the Type-Moon world, Xue was a little confused for a moment. It seemed that her King Arthur was completely different from other King Arthurs.
He was born naturally by the will of the islands and did not have a sister like Morgan, so there was no Mordred among his Knights of the Round Table.
Moreover, he did not obtain the Holy Sword but directly obtained the Holy Lance, and successfully unified Great Britain, and finally died of old age.
And after his death, the mystery of that world's surface completely disappeared.
I can only say that, in a sense, I am probably the luckiest King Arthur among all the parallel worlds.
Putting away the illusory shadow of the holy spear in her hand, Xue looked at the other two purple light balls.
Well, one is proficient in cooking, and the other is better than nothing, with the bloodline of a winged angel that can be integrated with the original light-winged angel.
