Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 385 - 386: Waking Up 2/2 [2/3]

"What am I doing? I should be the one asking... What are YOU doing!"

"Me? I was trying to find the instructions for the game, the one that Mom and that bad girl played! Isn’t it in your cabinet? So, I was..."

"Huh?! How did you know...No, wait! Who told you that?!"

"It was little sister Shuoyue, She said she saw it when moving houses yesterday."

"What?!"

Hearing this, Liyu couldn’t help but furrow her brows in frustration, cursing her sneaky sister in her heart.

’Shuoyue!’

’That pesky girl! Trying to set me up again!’

’If Sister Limo actually gets hold of that... thing, and starts playing that naughty game with Yuan’er,’

’Wouldn’t my butt be whipped by mom?’ Just imagining the scene made Liyu shudder.

While she cursed, Liyu also felt exhausted.

She felt overwhelmed by everything she had to do. Not only did she need to keep an eye on their mom, who seemed to have suicidal tendencies, but also look after the naive Limo, and guide the innocent Yuan’er. And now... she also had to be on guard against the crafty Shuoyue.

’Sigh’

’What a life!’

Never mind,

No matter what, she can’t let Limo have her way now! Those books, although she hadn’t started studying them properly yet, she was certain that they were not something that a naive Limo and innocent Yuan’er should be reading! It will would definitely corrupt them!

On the other side,

Seeing Liyu’s resistance to her opening the cabinet, Limo blinked with curiosity:

"Liyu, Liyu, there’s no need to worry! After I figure out how to play, Yuan’er and I will play with you. We won’t leave you out, relax~"

"Huh?!?"

Hearing Limo’s innocent words, strange images popped up in Liyu’s head, causing her face to flush crimson red. After shaking her head frantically to dispel these inappropriate thoughts, Liyu quickly denied:

"That’s not the issue! That... that game, we simply can’t play it! And... and! There’s no instruction manual in my cabinet at all! You’re causing trouble for nothing!"

"Liyu, Liyu, Why are you lying? If there’s nothing, why won’t you let us take a look! Besides, if Mom can play it, why can’t we! It’s not fair!"

"This isn’t a matter of fairness at all!!"

"I don’t care! I want to play!!"

"Enough, Limo! You’re overdoing it!"

...

...

With the sisters arguing louder and louder, it’s not surprising that they ended up tussling with each other. Their squabbles and the sound of their tussle shattered the calm atmosphere of the early morning mansion, creating a lively and rowdy atmosphere.

With the sisters’ continuous ruckus, inside the master bedroom on the third floor,

A girl in a black lace nightgown, who had been resting with her eyes closed, slowly opened them to reveal a pair of strange, yet innocent and kind, scarlet pupils.

Undoubtedly, this girl was none other than Yumo, who had momentarily exited her statue mode.

After hearing the girls’ commotion, the sleepy look in Yumo’s eyes vanished. Replaced by an indulgent, yet rather helpless look:

"These two are causing a commotion this early in the morning? They really are energetic."

Slightly glancing toward the room where Limo and Liyu were, Yumo couldn’t help but sigh.

As she sighed, the bedding next to her moved slightly.

The next moment,

A red-haired woman, still half-asleep and clad in a revealing nightgown, slowly popped her head out from under the covers. Judging by the satisfied smile on her face, this woman had evidently had a delightful night.

After looking around in a daze, she affectionately hugged Yumo’s slim waist. Lifting her head slightly, she added to Yumo’s remark:

"Mother, isn’t this perfectly normal? After all, Limo and Liyu are still children... It’s normal for kids to be full of energy, isn’t it?"

"That’s true."

Yumo responded with a noncommittal nod.

Subsequently, the young girl slowly lowered her head, gazing lovingly at the red-haired woman who affectionately clung to her.

"Good morning, Kalina."

In response to Yumo’s greeting, the red-haired woman, namely Kalina, revealed a sweet and obedient smile:

"Good morning, Mom. Did you rest well last night? Are you satisfied with this new house?"

"Of course I am. Thank you, Little Na, for giving me such a wonderful gift."

Smiling, Yumo happily raised her hand to gently rub Kalina’s head. The latter closed her eyes in pleasure, reveling in Yumo’s affection.

"However, Mom, it wasn’t just me who made this house possible."

As always, Kalina responded humbly:

"The Black Rose family put in significant effort too. Furthermore... without the ’considerable assistance’ from the monster races in the forest, this new house wouldn’t have been finished so swiftly."

"Mmm, that’s true. It was really unexpected that they would come to help. However, since they did help, we must reward them accordingly."

"Indeed, I will make sure to do that"

Kalina obediently said.

After that, the red-haired woman once again buried her face into Yumo’s warm embrace. At the same time, a faint smile flashed across her face.

...

’Mom is really merciful, even considering rewarding those fickle monsters?’

Kalina naturally disliked the monster groups nurtured by Yumo in the forest, which could potentially get to the side of the Church or the Girl of Destiny at any time. If it weren’t for her mother’s instruction, Kalina would have fed them to the Abyssal Demons a long time ago...

’Oh well’

’Since Mom has made her decision, I have no room to argue.’

’Hmm... perhaps not bullying them for the next five years?’

’That should be a decent reward, right?’

’Of course, the prerequisite is that these races behave and don’t cause any trouble...’

...

’By the way’

’Mommy~’

’You smell so nice.’

Sigh, I wanted to make Kalina’s Illustration before this chapter but sadly, after making more than 100 examples non of them got the nearing image I wanted, except one and right now I am modifying it but the inpainting process is the one field I am weak at so it will take some time...
