Chapter 147 Professor's Restaurant at Saint Kruitz Abbey

In the professor's restaurant at Saint Kruitz Abbey, Lan Qi leaned back in his chair, resting.

He might actually be asleep.

He hadn't rested for a long time in the eighth-tier Shadow World earlier, and then he immediately returned to the present world and then to Brilda's house. The drowsiness had only accumulated in his heart, and now, even if it was just a chance to pretend to sleep, he would fall asleep without realizing it.

"Good thing we fed him."

Talia glanced at the sleeping Lan Qi and muttered.

When they were competing with Sid earlier, they didn't eat much themselves, and instead, they were both feeding Lan Qi.

"Let's move him back to his room later and let him rest."

Sigrid said softly to Tata while eating.

She was also careful not to wake Lan Qi.

"Okay."

Talia nodded.

"By the way, I'll help you clean up the room on the first floor later. You can just live there. I'll usually cook three meals a day. It would be even better if you could occasionally help buy some things."

Talia looked at Sigrid and said.

According to Sid, her luggage was still being stored on the second floor of the Brilda Opera House in the dimensional branch and would be delivered later.

Anyway, the dimensional branch had already sent the person over first; the luggage was secondary.

"No problem."

Sigrid couldn't help but think of her journey to the orc city-state in the Shadow World. Kaliella had taken care of her daily life all the way, symbolically giving her small tasks such as buying groceries.

Now it was as if she had dreamed of the time when she lived with Kaliella.

Living with her really felt like living with Kaliella.

"Wait, where does Lan Qi live?"

Sigrid suddenly realized a problem.

"The innermost master bedroom on the second floor."

Talia pouted and answered reluctantly.

"Then where do you live?"

Sigrid continued to ask Talia.

"The second bedroom closest to the innermost one on the second floor."

Talia could only answer truthfully.

The rest were just a few guest rooms.

"No, that's not fair. We should let him live in the middle, and we should each live in the rooms next to him."

Sigrid argued.

She almost fell into Tata's trap.

In theory, there was no problem with living like this.

But for every day that followed, she would have to worry about the room next to next door, about Sigrid secretly running into Lan Qi's room.

Every room in this house had been decorated by her and Lan Qi, and the soundproofing was very good.

She probably wouldn't be able to sleep well every day.

"Or, we can live together. That would be fair."

Sigrid suggested.

She obviously had the same concerns, so she knew what Tata was struggling with.

As long as they did as she said, everyone's needs could be met.

"Are you willing to squeeze into a bed with me?"

Talia didn't have any objections herself, but she had only ever slept with Hugh, and the woman in front of her wasn't really Sigrey, but a stranger she had just met today. Talia hadn't thought about becoming roommates.

But this was indeed a solution. She could directly keep an eye on Sigrid herself, so she wouldn't have to worry about her sneaking into Lan Qi's room.

"What's your sleeping posture like?"

Sigrid hesitated for a moment and asked warily.

The most impressive thing about Hyperion's sleeping posture was how bad it was. She would often wake up with her on top of her, leaving many psychological shadows in Sigrey's young heart. If possible, she didn't want to sleep with a girl like Hyperion who easily rolled around, kicked people, and stole blankets in her dreams.

"It's okay, what about you?"

Talia's eyes moved when she heard the words "sleeping posture."

She was sure that she slept very quietly and felt that her tolerance for sleeping postures was quite high.

The only thing she couldn't accept was when Hyperion sometimes sucked on her body in the middle of the night, scaring her into hugging her chest and jumping out of bed.

So she had to ask.

"Relatively quiet, at most I'll turn over and hug a pillow or blanket."

Sigrid rested her index finger against her chin and pondered.

She didn't bring her black and green pillow from the North Continent, and sometimes she would often wake up hugging a pillow.

"Okay, let's just move our luggage to the second floor later. We'll live together."

Talia finally agreed to Sigrid's suggestion.

Being roommates with each other, they wouldn't have to worry about each other sneaking around, and they would be the same distance from Lan Qi's room, which was a good solution.

"To be honest, I don't hate you. I even think you're a pretty good person. Everything I said to you when we first met was the truth."

Sigrid said with relief.

Even now, she would still feel particularly natural when getting along with her, as if they had already lived together.

Talia was stunned when she heard this.

She hadn't thought that she would actually praise her.

This straightforwardness was also exactly the same as that child in her memory.

"If we had met in a different way, we should have been able to talk happily. I don't deny that."

Talia didn't understand why her thoughts were always so similar to her own and muttered to herself with her eyes lowered.

Unfortunately, even if the two of them became more familiar with each other in the future, they would still be strangers.

The only intersection was Lan Qi.

And Lan Qi was also the goal they were fighting for.

The peace from before returned to the dining table, with only the occasional sound of forks and porcelain plates lightly touching, echoing from time to time in this dining room.

They ate their own food quietly, without saying much.

It took time for Talia to slowly open her heart and get close to people she wasn't familiar with. In the beginning, she would mostly listen passively to the other person's words to judge whether they were suitable to be friends.

As for Sigrid, she was originally a very outgoing person and didn't have any problems with being reserved when meeting someone for the first time, but she realized that if she didn't eat quickly, the food on the table would soon be gone, so she could only focus on eating lunch.

She would occasionally glance at Talia in surprise.

Sigrid didn't understand why Talia could eat so elegantly and make the food disappear so quickly.

Wasn't this really Kaliella from the later period?

Even the way she ate was exactly the same.

Big stomach, no need to swallow much.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Talia tilted her head and asked Sigrid, having noticed Sigrid's gaze.

"You're using disguise magic now, right?"

Sigrid's gaze was caught, but she didn't panic and asked without moving her eyes.

If you're going to look at a beauty, you have to look at her openly.

"Of course, you're using it too, right?"

Talia put the sliced grilled potato balls into her mouth with a fork and chewed as she spoke.

After appearing in the imperial capital of Brilda in a righteous manner, she would use the identity that Nigel, the upper echelon of the Boisun Kingdom, gave her to change her appearance.

She could feel that Sid was very strong, even a type of genius like her Sigrey, but she was really too young.

"I'm a little curious about what you originally looked like."

Sigrid always felt that the appearance of this gray-haired woman didn't quite match her excellent temperament, as if she had deliberately disguised herself to lower her beauty a bit.

"Heh heh, I can be the woman you want to see the most."

Talia chuckled.

Without even talking about her own appearance, which was always praised by Lan Qi, with Kaliella's magic, she could also have Kaliella's illusionary face.

"It seems you're really confident, but no one can compare to the woman I want to see the most."

Sigrid could basically determine from Tata's attitude that Tata herself must be very good-looking.

"Who is it?"

Talia didn't feel any contempt from Sid's words, but rather a kind of belief and recognition, but the woman Sid was talking about had an irreplaceable meaning to Sid herself.

"My mom. She's the most beautiful woman and the best woman in the world."

Sigrid said firmly.

"...I see. You're a good child."

Talia nodded in agreement, as if she understood something, after hearing Sid's words.

Although she, as a demon princess, was certainly competitive, she knew how much weight a mother held in the heart of a human child like this.

"Aren't you going to argue a bit? You seemed very confident just now."

Sigrid didn't expect Tata's reaction to be like this.

She actually thought that it would provoke the other party to disagree and directly show her.

"No matter how confident I am, I can't compare to your mom in your heart."

Talia shook her head gently, her mind at ease as she spoke.

She recognized that Sid was a filial daughter, and filial daughters wouldn't be bad people.

"Um...how old are you actually? Should I call you older sister or younger sister later?"

Sigrid thought of another question, holding onto a corner of Lan Qi's chair back and leaning closer to ask Tata.

Seeing the other party's mature and dignified answer, she couldn't help but shorten the distance a little.

If they really had to pretend to be Lan Qi's fake fiancée, then they might have to call each other sisters when helping Lan Qi act outside.

"..."

Talia began to be silent.

She couldn't possibly say 800 years old, right?

"I'm 25 years old in the Herton Kingdom."

Talia finally said the age on her identification in the Herton Kingdom.

She added a qualifier, so it didn't count as lying, nor did she go against her conscience.

She thought to herself constantly.

"What, you're actually younger than me?"

Sigrid looked at Talia in surprise.

The aura of sedimentation and the overflowing maternal nature on the other party made her subconsciously regard the other party as a mother figure, feeling that the other party's actual age would be slightly older than her, but she didn't expect that she was only twenty-five years old.

"Ah, you're not just 25?"

Talia was also shocked.

In her imagination, Sid's girlish energy should be either the same age as Hugh or in her early twenties like Sigrey.

"This..."

Sigrid felt embarrassed.

She had originally basically planned to call the other party older sister.

As a result, after going around in a circle, she herself was the older sister.

"Tata, are you sure you're twenty-five?"

Sigrid asked again tentatively, indicating to Tata that if she had lied just now, she could still change it.

"I, I didn't lie. I'll show you my documents later if you don't believe me!"

Talia said stubbornly, a little annoyed.

"Okay, okay, I believe you."

Sigrid agreed repeatedly.

"Then outside, I'll call you Tata, little sister, and you'll call me Sid, older sister. Is there a problem?"

Sigrid felt that no matter how she thought about it, it was strange. In terms of the mode of getting along, she would subconsciously imagine the other party as a Kaliella-like mother, but in reality, she had to call the other party younger sister.

Their current real identities in the Kruitz Empire were a bit awkward. It wouldn't arouse suspicion if real sisters called each other by their nicknames, so it would be better to use a way that was easier to say.

"N-no problem!"

Talia could only bite the bullet and admit it, her face flushed slightly.

The grandfather clock in the guest dining room ticked leisurely, time passed slowly, and the cat boss constantly transported the prepared meals and empty plates between the kitchen and the dining room.

The heat rising from the coffee on the table also slowed down. In this winter, time became very slow.

As the cat boss brought up the demonic dessert black chocolate soufflé, the fluffy and warm black chocolate soufflé with ice crystal-like custard sauce, alternating between hot and cold, rich and light, this lunch was almost over.

Lan Qi smelled the familiar fragrance of the dessert, sniffed, and slowly opened his eyes.

He thought he had dreamed of his Purgatory Corridor Academy again.

"Lan Qi, are you feeling better?"

"Lan Qi, are you hungry?"

The two women on the left and right looked at him at the same time and asked him, their voices much softer than before.

Lan Qi could tell who asked which question without relying on the tone of voice.

"Not really."

Lan Qi shook his head, silently looking at the plate of demonic black chocolate soufflé dessert on the table, and began to recover from his short nap.

"Let us feed you."

Talia and Sigrid both noticed that Lan Qi might want to eat some sweets to supply sugar to his over-exhausted brain.

This time, Talia and Sigrid looked at each other in advance.

They just wouldn't compete and just take care of Lan Qi together, which would save effort and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"I'm fine!"

Lan Qi cheered up immediately.

He sat up straight as if in a conditioned reflex, his eyes clear, and replied to the two of them.

"..."

The two slowly put down their cutlery.

They didn't expect Lan Qi to dislike being fed so much.

"What was I going to say..."

Lan Qi rubbed his temples.

Whenever he woke up, not only his dreams, but even the things he was thinking about before dreaming were easily forgotten.

He remembered that he had thought of a very important matter the moment he saw Sigrid, but at that time, the unexpected encounter was too shocking, so he had to deal with the urgent matter first.

"Right! Sigrid, can you give me some of your blood?"

Lan Qi remembered, excitedly turned to press Sigrid's shoulder, and asked her.

"What do you want my blood for?"

Sigrid remembered that Lan Qi had also asked for some of her blood when they separated in the Shadow World, and she had given it to Lan Qi without asking too much.

She didn't even know what Lan Qi had done with her blood.

Looking at Lan Qi intimately grabbing Sid's shoulder from the side, Talia resentfully folded her arms again.

Her and Sid's agreement was not to compete, and since Lan Qi took the initiative to touch Sid, she had no reason to interfere.

"It's like this, I have a friend who went to the Blood Moon City under the Kruitz Empire in the present world before. Although she came back alive, she was also poisoned by the fire of the Blood King's Palace. Now she is burned by the Blood King's Divine Fire every day, and once she leaves the shielding barrier, there is a high probability that she will be located by the Blood Clan through the Blood King's Divine Fire. Only your wolf blood, which has violent vitality, can cure her. Can you help me save her? She will become our reliable companion."

Lan Qi explained to Sigrid.

Because he was worried that Ifatia would call him brother when they met, he didn't tell Sigrid in advance that his friend was actually Hyperion's mother.

"Of course, no problem."

Sigrid agreed very readily.

There was a crash behind Lan Qi.

"Wait, she, Sid is a werewolf?"

Talia asked Lan Qi in shock, already standing up with a surge of emotions.

"Yes."

Lan Qi turned around and nodded to Talia.

"She is the reliable companion from the North Continent that I told the cat boss about. We didn't expect her to come directly to Brilda to find us so quickly."

He further explained.

Toriado seemed unreliable, but in reality, he was still thinking of ways to save his compatriot, Ifatia.

"..."

Talia clenched her fists, pursed her lips tightly, and looked at Sigrid with a complicated expression for a long time, her golden eyes full of luck, gratitude, and intimacy.

She originally thought that the plan to obtain high-level wolf blood to save her sister was full of uncertainty and danger. After all, the sixth army god, the Violet of Water Azure Jade, was by no means an easy person to mess with. She didn't expect that a seemingly distant dream would come true in a way that was even faster than falling into a gentle town.

"Thank you, Miss Sid."

Talia bowed in thanks.

"Wh-what's wrong? Why are you thanking me all of a sudden?"

Sigrid was also full of confusion.

"Actually, the person you want to save is Tata's sister. She has been thinking about curing her sister, who is suffering from the torment of the burns, as soon as possible."

Lan Qi answered for Talia.

"I see."

Sigrid understood the situation and her expression relaxed.

She stood up, grinned, and walked to Tata's side, who was bowing her head.

"Your sister is my sister. Now we are good sisters. Don't be so polite. Please take care of me in the future."

Sigrid put her arm around Talia's shoulders and said to her.

"No, wait, that's not a sister..."

Lan Qi suddenly realized something was wrong.

Why did Sigrid also regard Ifatia as her younger sister?

"Wow, Sister Sid."

But Talia and Sigrid didn't care about his words at all and hugged each other, weeping.

Leaving only Lan Qi, who felt that everything was over.

Tata's cry of "Sister Sid" was about to burn his brain. What was going on?
