Another 30 days later , the frontline is finally used to the new expansion of freed lands " Commander , I've submitted your request " " Finally I was waiting for too long " " Even though it's because of the massive increase of the freed lands "
" But that means I can accept more sponsorship , thanks for showing me some of them too " " It's only natural after all , but I'm sure you are already aware of the supply and demand logic "
" So the freed land will lose value ? " " No , It would increase thanks to our goal to fight against the Labyrinth , the more land the more it would cost . Eventually it would motivate people , but because of your growth , we need you to slow down . You are growing way too fast and we need to catch up "
" Then that means I can spend as much time as I like touring with my spouses right ? " " There is no problem for the frontline lacking your presence as well as your spouse ,, it'll give us time to catch up to you "
Ryson recounts the recent improvements and the growth , as well as the maintenance and resistance against the Maze attacks .
' they still haven't responded to that report I've made , maybe they're trying to craft some noble quest which they had no choice but to bring people in '
" And that concludes it , we'll eventually gift you a high speed spacecraft for your vacation . the operating system can be integrated with Argus " " Thanks for that . How long will I wait ? " " You can get it tomorrow , so make sure to have your rest Commander "
" I should be saying the same thing to you " " Aha you're right " the call ends and Lily walks back to the dome , thinking about her frequent understanding of the future .
' Let's see divination is synonymous with calculation , but the calculation area of effect is very limited however , it seems like it has a side effect of causing the user to think a lot about the future '
She wonders if this was a psychological effect or the effect of magic ' I'm not one to research on my own but maybe it is involved with my own power ' she understands the potential synergy between her other powers ' Rate already said it himself about the future of my body so let's try to see the future of my body '
Later night , Rate uses his dreamland ability " So what are we here for ? " " To test something I thought of , Rate the dreamland is set to show the future right ? " " Yep I've tried to train it , but it doesn't go that far "
" It's fine " Lily starts to cast the spell for divination and the dreamland generated from her body slowly turns to light and leaves them in a world just like Rate's , with a climate made by Mother's breath , with Solaris's starlight shining the world .
" Your dreamland is gone " " Not really , I can see it clearly " Lily shared what she saw and a path appeared to them " Where does this lead to ? " Mother asked and walked to the path " It's supposed to lead to an evolution path I'm recording as much information as I can using the grimoire " Lily said .
" Is this like those skill trees in the games ? " " It is , but it's more on evolution " " What kind of evolution are you looking for ? " " Not yet sure , but it won't be bad to see what kind of options I have "
" Then can you show me mine ? " Lily thought about it " Sure why not ... maybe we can visit Solaris and Mother's body too " " Won't this be useful for figuring out how to save Solaris from a supernova ? " Rate said .
" Huh you're right , okay . Let's get this done by tonight " they visited Rate's dreamland next and Lily used divination and watched as a border appeared dividing the two side " what is this ? " " Probably has to do with the mark I gave you "
" So that side is dead and the other is alive " Rate said " May look different in Solaris because they're a star " as soon as they went to Solaris after checking Mother's Lily already saw the evidence .
" It really is divided that way " Lily looked at the neutron stars , blackholes , white dwarves , supernovas and whatever comes after a star's death " So this is what I would look like when I die ? " Solaris asked .
" It looks different from my death " Mother said " Yep , most of these are dangerous because it's like a giant explosion on a cosmic scale , could easily eradicate more than just life , could burn rocks and kids could die "
" That's worrying " Solaris said " But it can't be that bad . I saw something like that happen . I can just wrap fireball with myself " " But Solaris isn't one star they have eaten a lot , so the explosion wouldn't be something you can handle "
" Dear , if possible you can send me away " Solaris said now with an understanding of how dangerous their death could equate " now now , I wouldn't do something that cruel , plus I've already gotten a solution "
Lily used the Blank grimoire to show Solaris the world seal " To keep it short it's a kind of container that I can enclose your body with , it's gonna cost a lot to maintain , but it's mostly me being busy from doing anything else "
" It doesn't cost your life ? " Solaris asked " No it's just gonna cost me my time and effort . I've already found out that it's pretty cheap price , although I may need to eat a lot but we have plenty of those . And we are growing since woods and their teacher are eating the debris I got from cleaning "
" So you won't be investigating it anymore ? " Rate asked " No I won't , but the materials I can acquire as well as some lost technology can be useful moreover , I might be able to expose it as a plan later on , unless I have to change that too "
" You've changed a lot of plans too " " I know " Lily said and she found the right path she has to investigate " Oh perfect " " What is it " Solaris asked intending to participate due to being the concerned target .
" It's a path for you , after death we can bring you back ... even your soul will be fine " " What do I need to do ? " " It says further mastery of the fire you first gave me " " Huh sounds difficult " " Don't worry , the instructions are very detailed , we can work with it too "
" Thank you for thinking about me " Solaris said " What about me ? " Mother asked " Don't worry about yourself , you're not going to be killed that easily " " But isn't the trigger for the supernova plan using a time accelerating device ? " Rate asked .
" Yeah , it could be bad if we are hit by it , looks like I'll have to look into the absorption of aging " Lily said " Can you absorb something like that , it's not poison but aging " " Yeah but the reapers are the embodiment of any way to die " Lily said .
Rate sighed , not understanding how little Lily viewed the concept of a time accelerating device " Just be careful okay " Rate said and Lily smiled , sensing his worry " I'll be fine , in fact , it might be useful for this evolution "
They couldn't believe in Lily's boldness in the face of death , but thought of how she had faced her own death face to face " Hmm you are really stubborn about getting stronger " Rate said " I know right something that can make this fireball explode to something I can't handle and you said you want to use it " Mother said .
" I think I shouldn't mind you , I've talked with Argus and found out about your history , I don't understand how great it is , but it should be if you were able to elevate your strength to ours " Solaris said .
...
The next day , Lily packs her things in Ethan's space bags and took off with her spouses to the first planet ... Mother carried a lot of food with her to their suite " Hmm these stuff are really good " " Solaris here's your food " Lily handed Solaris a few stars shrunk with the seal " So this is the thing I am going to be inside of it seems small , but probably big inside "
" It kinda is " " I thought it would be dangerous to pull out a star that is supposed to bend space time " Rate said " It's because this seal is a very perfect container , can hold pretty much anything inside , the size of it is pretty small but it doesn't take a lot to maintain this much space "
" But isn't something like this hard to learn ? " " I just got it a month ago , been learning it for Solaris , moreover I was using the virtual technology to shorten my time " " Whatever happened to slowing down ? " Solaris asked " We are slowing down from now , this time we will be relaxing "
Lily lay on the bed " But what about the advertisement ? " " I accepted all of them " Rate was surprised to hear that " You can do that ? " " Yeah , it ensures that they won't bother us in our honeymoon "
" Are we just going to relax now ? " Solaris asked , looking at Mother , who isn't concerned about anything with he food in front of her " Yeah , for as long as possible until we get offered the position of those who retire from this world and protect the world inside from outside "
" So we do have to do something ? " Solaris asked " Yep we have to relax for as long as we like , now let's watch a movie " Lily said ' Relaxing as long as we like is a big luxury ' Rate thought , but joined while they sat down to watch the movie .
" That documentary was terrible " Lily said while the lights were closed " It's not like we got a choice , everyone is focused on fighting the labyrinth , most of the movies are supposed to be for advertisement . You could probably find some entertainment in festivals , but movies are difficult to make " Rate said .
" Maybe there are some festivals we can go to ? " " There's one with wine should be the right kind of festival to relax with " ... Lily woke up the day after the visit to a wine festival " What happened ? " Lily said , unable to remember what occurred yesterday .
" All of you were in a state of drunkenness after drinking this thing " Lily looked at the bottle that Solaris pointed to ' Huuh , what is that ? ' Lily looked at the blank grimoire , which had gathered up all of the memories .
After visiting the festival location , everyone was given a bottle of wine aged to the finest degree it would cause anyone to fall asleep for centuries which is the equivalent of death . This was not an assassination attempt but rather an attempt to intoxicate Mother and Rate who showed great tolerance .
Lily wasn't included as she was the commander , however after Mother and Rate drank some and got intoxicated they wished to share it but failed so they sneaked it into Lily's drink causing her to be intoxicated .
Nobody knows about the fact that she had drank it due to Rate's mastery on the arts he used to sneak the alcohol in " Oh that explains it " " I can't believe you'd be intoxicated by it while I was busy listening to how they developed alcohol , I never knew leaving something out can make it better "
" We had a lot of facilities that does the same too , but I don't think it would create a wine as potent as this " ' This type of wine could also be a dangerous illegal drug if it weren't for the variety of people in this world ' Lily continues reading the grimoire to see what occurred .
Solaris was the only one who listened to the documentation while Lily , Mother and Rate were fooling around the whole time ' Oh so that's what we did , good thing we had some level of control and didn't go as intense '
After the documentation Solaris returned having nothing to do , so now the drunks continued doing drunken activities " Oh so we did do something intense " Rate yawned and opened his eyes , unaware of what he just did .
" Guess I'll have to send some of this alcohol, maybe we can use the extra funds to bring this kind of wine to the frontline " " Lily what happened ? " Rate asked , feeling very tired and only having enough energy to ask about the lack of memories .
" I'll tell you but you should get some clothes " Rate realised the state he was own and quickly dragged the blanket and went into the wardrobe to get dressed .
" Wish I could keep that memory , although maybe I could " Lily used the Blank grimoire and extracted the memory that she should've retained and experienced what the Memories entailed " Hmm that was a fun experience "
Rate got out of the wardrobe , dressed " Sorry I don't know what came over me when we got drunk " Rate said " Do you actually remember ? " " I'm trying " " I'll say congratulations , our kid is coming " Rate sensed his body and found a foreign presence .
" T-there really is one ? Is drinking wine safe when having a child ? " Rate asked worryingly " I'll call mother-in-law " " Uh yeah , please " Lily creates a door connecting to her in-laws' room and knocks .
" What is it ? " Frank asked after opening the door " We got drunk and made a baby inside Rate " Frank was too half-asleep " " Oh , it's a dream " Lily looked at the coffee concentrate and diluted it and gave it to Frank .
" What !? You had a kid " " Yeah , we're wondering if it's okay to drink alcohol before we make it ? It was enough to intoxicate Mother and she's a giant dragon " " Did he get a hangover ? " Frank asked " A headache ? " he asked .
" No I feel fine " Rate said " I'll wake your mother " ... " So you already had the child ? " Lily nodded " I suppose you are going to be on this honeymoon for a while ? " Melda asked " Yeah , he won't feel bloated right ? Might not be a good thing if the rebels find I have our kid inside Rate "
" Normally , he should be bloated , but without Veda's seal , he'll have to eat a lot of food " " I'm sure the concentrated pills should be enough " Lily said , waiting to confirm " It is enough , so please take care of him " Melda said .
" Yeah you should do that , even I had to make sure the news of a calamity beast doesn't reach my wife's ears " " You said you were compensating for making that bad decision " " but I did compensate it " " You did , I hope you two enjoy your vacation "
" We will and if you guys want to have some wine to get drunk , you can have some of this wine " Melda and Frank looked at the wine bottle " Is this a gift ? "
Frank asked " I don't know the customs of your people , but gifts seems universal . It doesn't seem like a gift I should give after a wedding because we already got this " Lily showed them the red string .
" You're right , we will just accept this as a gift for your visit " Melda said . They returned back and Lily disconnected the door " Hmm that cuts off a few activities we can participate in "
" Like what ? " Rate asked " I was planning to do some sky diving or experience zero gravity for fun and other activities , but we're gonna have to limit that "
" That's fine it's not like it's exciting to us " Solaris said " Guess you're right , I'll have to consider that too " Rate sat on the bed with Lily while she sorted some schedule and cancels a few activities .
" So now that I'm technically carrying our kid " " Are you that scared to say pregnant " " Actually mom says that was not the right term since I was from an egg " " So you'd rather say you are forming our child right now ? " Rate nodded .
" Uncle Veda also told me that calamity beast have different ways to procreate from their bodies since their bodies are a world " " I'm sure I can work that out , at least it won't be as unpleasant as normal human birth "
" How does that one go ? " Rate asked " Are you talking about how children are made ? " Solaris asked " Oh yeah , but Rate will be a bit different . he's currently carrying our kid inside him , his body is basically like a world , so we need different ways to get our kid out "
" Whereas Aurora was born with the flames I gave you which used the air which you breathe out to create " Solaris said " Yeah , fire needs air to burn but yours is different " " And so is your air , it was able to change the properties of my flames " Solaris said .
" But did Veda give you anything that could help ? " Lily asked Rate " It's not Veda but the older calamity beast that help , it's an innate art or something to help me acquire it , the art is related to father's innate art , but it's something that allows me to ensure our baby's health " " I don't understand these innate arts " Lily said .
" Oh , it's pretty easy to understand . the entire lineage of calamity beast has several skills , innate skills are somethings that come to us as normal as base instincts . We calamity beasts have a lot of innate skills, but most of them have been sealed or are being suppressed by older alternatives before you bought uncle "
Rate drew a bar graph and formed a slash " Belows this line are the sealed abilities and above this are our innate skills , mother says she was born with the ability of dreamland , while father was born with a world inside him , a rare innate skill due to it's close relation to calamity beast . "
" So this seal that you place on yourself is that line limiting your access " " Yeah , Veda said that the seal is constantly changing to suit our body's capabilities because even if we can't access them , we are passively training them "
" Can you explain the different skills you have ? " Solaris asked " Oh sure , I have plenty " Rate started to use the graph to make a list " Because I can train my sealed skills passively I've been learning a lot for it , so many of them are related to a world building or improved life skills but more useful skills like dad's expanded space can manifest from a proper synergy "
" Interesting , it's kinda like mine " Rate thought of what he saw when he was learning about Lily's " I wouldn't say it's exactly like yours " " Why ? "
" Unlike mine it is more stable , it leans towards only a single idea of the nurturing of a world , while it also means strength and all yours is extremely different . It instantly taps into other ideas "
Rate removes the graph and shows a much better example of comparing his and Lily's powers " For me my powers would look like this " an almost perfect sphere is created with several dots connecting to each other
" All of my skills leans towards the further development of a world hence , while some can turn these skills into offensive abilities it all comes down to imagination "
A few dots light up with different colors " Of course there are also things that stray from afar like mother's dreamland ability which comes from the soul or father's ability which he described is related to how some calamity beast resist growing big by not expanding the space but not size "
" Can you do me ? " " Uhh for you , I guess it's more like you're a blank paper and several kinds of ink were placed on you " Rate created a white paper and placed images of several fire related beast that entered Solaris's body .
" Even though they have different flames , you absorbed them and made use of them " Solaris looked at the painting " Can I keep this ? " " Of course , let me print it out first " While Rate was making Solaris , the painting that describes their power , Lily looked at Mother .
" What about her ? " " It would be more related to the natural forces of the world , she is able to breathe out fire but also other things like a chilling breath , lightning even , but there are also others she can do which even I won't be able to understand all , she may have an affinity for many things "
" In the end , the only reason why we're all this strong is because we lived for a very long time " " Yeah that's right , so now onto your power " Lily was excited to hear it and watched Rate create a singular point .
" So to explain this is what I found when we were exploring your body for studying the seal " Lily watched the dot expand slowly into a bigger sphere , but eventually that sphere shape was slowly becoming harder to spot .
The surface of the sphere started to grow sharp thorns , which stretch in varying heights " Your growth isn't stable , your powers are stabilizing now , unlike before . But it's a surprise that you manage to make it this far "
" What can I say , I am a very strong person to not care when I'm so close to dying " " You are right about that , maybe that explains your strength of soul " " Yep " Lily laid on bed thinking about her body's own strength .
" I guess my powers are strange , clairvoyance , telekinesis , doors , bigger inside and I'm even absorbing magic like divination " " It is quite an arsenal of powers , but I think the most strange thing you have is your soul's ties with your body "
" What do you mean ? " " You seem to be very inclined with your own body , because of that I think it would be very bad if you die " Rate said worryingly " Huh what will happen to her if she dies ? "
" Because of her desire to stay alive it's almost like her body and soul are of the same thing " Rate tries to hide the fear " It's not like any human to be so inclined with their body , perhaps they wouldn't hold onto it much with the belief of the existence of the underworld but I'm terrified "
" No it won't be a problem " Solaris said and showed the phoenix flame inside Lily " She told me that this flame ressurects anything from it's ashes I don't know the specifics but " Solaris turned to Lily " You said that these flames can heal you so that you can return so make sure to keep this flame with you "
Lily smiled , hearing their worry " Oh dear , don't worry about it . I've already been killed before already I was walking between life and death when I was defending Beryl before I resurrected him with my blood , Right dear ? "
She shook Mother's body " Yeah I saw " Mother said half-awake " So don't worry about it " " Let me sleep okay , that drink was really good I wanna have it tomorrow " ' So later dinner then ' Lily sets up the order to get a few bottles for Mother .
Lily puts some noise silencer on Mother while she continues talking with the two " Thanks for worrying about me , but don't worry too much about me alright ? After all , we are here to relax and I doubt there is anyone in here that's strong enough "
" I guess you're right " Rate said , understanding Lily's strength " But I do think that wine was good , so if possible I want to drink some too " " Ohh looks like everyone wants to have fun now but you shouldn't be drinking that unless you want another kid " Lily teased .
" Yeah even though what we did last night was enjoyable , I guess I understand what dad meant about having someone you love " " So you remember what we did ? " Lily asked " I was just half asleep to remember the state I was in "
Lily laughed " Okay then " She looked at the paper which had her plans and what had occurred ' Hmm this one is exciting ' " I'm looking forward to sightseeing these towns today , even though they don't have as much entertainment we can enjoy at home they do have some live theaters and beautiful scenery "
" Let me look for the translator that thing " Rate put on his headpiece while Solaris searched for hers and Lily thought ' Let's make sure nothing bad happens ' she set the bank grimoire to look out for any potential accidents .
' I got lucky today that it was Rate who did it , but it could be bad if my vacation falls apart , if only I could relax without a care in the world '
