NOVEL NEXT Chapter 104 Farewell Yet Again Nyx
As soon as the group began to relax the dimensional rift opened up again and Nyx appeared mere moments after she left. This caused Dahlia and Azalea to stiffen up as they thought that Nyx had returned because she had heard their complaints. The only people who looked relaxed were Nova and Zero.
“Hi guys I know I just left but I kind of forgot something semi-important.” said Nyx as she laughed
“Aunty is so silly.” said Nova as she laughed along with Nyx.
“It’s okay, I sort of expected it. So, what did you forget?” asked Zero
“Ah, I forgot to mention that in the next world that you all go to you’ll face some trouble. You’ll all be sealed away for about 10,000 years or so.” said Nyx in a nonchalant manner
At the mention of Nyx’s words, all eyes except Nova’s turned and focused on her. Zero then asked, “Do you care to elaborate?”
“No there’s no need to just take this. It’s a transportation device all you need to do is crush it and it’ll transport you to another world of my choosing. I’ve designated a relatively safe world for you to go to so you don’t have to worry about that fate.” said Nyx as she threw a small marble to Zero
Zero caught the marble and waved his hand over it causing the marble to disappear. Zero rubbed his forehead and asked, “Is there anything else you might have forgotten to tell me?”
Nyx shrugged and laughed before saying, “There is one more thing I wanted to ask you. Why is it that everyone has worlds and your dimension has nothing? Why don’t you at least have a house or building where you can stay?”
“There are 2 reasons the first being I rarely come here and the second I don’t really know anything about architecture. I only know enough to be able to recreate 2 buildings the Hakuba Shrine and Dracula’s Castle. So, when I learn more about it I can make a house or something” explained Zero
Nyx sighed and said, “Zero this is one of those moments when you can ask the system to do it for you. It’s intelligent and is always observing the areas around you so I’m sure it knows enough about architecture to build something decent. Have the system make you a place to relax and get away from all your troubles.”
Zero listened and contemplated Nyx’s words before asking, “Do you have a place like that Mom?”
“No, I never need it but I’m starting to regret it. I want to make a place where you and I can always call home without any pest intruding in my void and bothering us. It's what mortals do with their children right? I think this is the first time I’ve ever envied a mortal.” said Nyx with a sad smile
After saying that a dimensional rift opened up behind Nyx and before she could walk through the rift Zero grabbed her arm. He smiled and said, “I’ll build something amazing and I’ll invite you over next time Mom. I’ll also look forward to seeing the house you build. It’ll be a bit noisy with these guys living with us but I think it’ll be fun. The 2 of us will never be alone again.”
Nyx smiled as she hugged her son while both of them shed tears of joy. It was a tender moment and the peanut gallery didn’t make any noise as they watched the mother-son display. Nova on the other hand ran up to the 2 and they laughed when they saw her lift up her arms asking for a hug too. Zero picked her up and the mother and son hug now turned into a hug between 3 generations.
“Aunties you should join us.” said Nova excitedly
Nova’s suggestion shocked the 4 ladies. Valna, Dahlia, and Azalea all stepped back leaving only Hikaru to look to see that all eyes were on her. Hikaru shook her head and said, “No it’s okay. You gut enjoy your family time.”
“Big sis I heard from mom that my compulsion but you still came to help me anyway. I also think of you like family.” said Zero as he motioned for her to come.
Hikaru was touched by Zero's words but still refused to join the 3 individuals. Nyx saw that the others felt uncomfortable by this situation so she said, “Well I’ve really got to go now. I’ll drop in on you guys every once in a while.”
After saying those words, she bid farewell to them all before walking through the rift that she had opened before. The rift closed as Nyx waved goodbye to them.
After a minute passed Dahlia asked, “She’s not going to come back right?”
“I wouldn’t put it past her.” said Zero as he laughed
“Don’t say that I’m getting nervous now. Still, I can’t believe you and Nova are okay being in her presence.” said Azalea
“Why?” asked Zero
“There’s an oppressive force when we’re near her.” explained Dahlia
“Really? I couldn't feel anything. I mean I was a bit scared when she first appeared out of nowhere but that disappeared when she explained who she was.” said a confused Hikaru
“Nova couldn’t feel anything.” said Nova adding in her 2 cents.
“Maybe you guys were so nervous that you imagined it. This has been fun but I need to return to the castle.” said Zero
“You just got better I don’t think you should go out so soon.” said a concerned Hikaru
“I agree. You’re not up to it just yet.” said both Dahlia and Azalea
“Maybe but we don’t have time to waste and I’ve wasted too much already. Take care of Nova and make Hikaru feel at home here.” said Zero as he walked to the temple entrance.
“Papa Nova wants to go to.” said Nova
“No stay here and be a good girl. I promise when this is over we’ll go see lots of places together.” said Zero
Nova nodded and Zero opened the temple doors revealing the new scenery to the twin goddesses and Nova. They all followed Zero outside and marveled at the changes they saw.
“What happened?” asked Azalea
“It’s a long story so I pass on telling it now but I will when we finish. I’m sure quite a few things have changed here and in Nova’s world so you guys explore while I’m gone but be careful.” said Zero as he teleported away.
