Chapter 196 Daddy, Mummy Is In My Class!!
"Here," Severus had put a black pill on her bed, waiting for her to exit the bathroom. "I knew you would need this the moment we returned because you still lack a strong stomach for this. Why do you vomit so easily?"
She swallowed the black pill with no questions asked since he would not poison her anyway.
"I need to take a bath, I don't know why I feel dirty." she returned to the bathroom and the shower head turned itself on once it sensed her body. The warm water cascading down her body provided some relief to her senses. She sniffed twice and tilted her head back and sighed deeply. "I did not fight in the battle but I feel exhausted."
"You dispended energy slowing down the beasts and blinking back and fourth to distant places like these planets is also tiring. You have covered a journey of millions in seconds, did you think it has no toll on you?" Severus responded.
She sniffed again, and she started to get the sense that she was on her way to catching a cold or she had one already.
"Severus, isn't there a way to help the mecha warriors heal faster? I don't mean to stop their inevitable deaths but I am talking about things like bleeding out when it can be prevented. Or saving them from damaging their mental strength, giving them significant energy boosts, I know that's why they take the mutated beast bodies. It's because some of them have such abilities. But it looks to me like it's not efficient."
"Medicinal herbs on the forum could help but you will become poor in ten seconds if you are to purchase enough herbs to help them all. It will be easier to plant them yourself, you do have purifying water after all. No, rejuvenation water is better and as a guardian reaper, you have more access to it than anyone. Additionally, Lythia values you a lot, that's why she almost scalded me when you refused to eat anymore hell fruits. So please, gouge yourself on them to save both of us from her wrath and get in with her good graces. She will be of ore help to your growth than you realize." He handed her a hell fruit as he spoke.
Even though she had given up on the baby project, the fruit was still tasty. It was like a mixture of very sweet strawberries and mint with lemon. It was kind of like a strawberry mint lemonade. She enjoyed eating the fruit so if the provider did not mind giving, she would keep eating.
"Do you want a taste?" she asked him.
"Ew." Severus turned his nose away. That fruit was nasty and how she enjoyed it, he did not know. "By the way, how did you get stuck with that idiot Frost for a partner? His special ability is making his hair as white as snow, okay he can create a white freezing mist which grim reapers hate because your bodies crave warmth extensively but he has zero tactics. Why do you think he has been a solo guardian reaper for twenty years now? I feel like we were cheated, you should have waited for me before he signed you on."
"You were avoiding me because I was with your mother," She replied, "You need to deal with your mummy issues." she pointed at him and said. "Now come on, I have to attend an introduction to mecha class taught by my husband's grandmother."
"I don't have mummy issues." he mumbled.
Severus followed her out and as they walked, she smiled at her maids, two of whom she noticed were missing.
"Gertrude, where are Coral and Lia?" she asked.
"Both of them are down with the cold, I think they got the chill in their bones. The hospital is already full so they are in their rooms."
"Oh," Scarlet responded. "Give them some hot drinks and make sure they cover up well." This was one of the mysterious winter illnesses that seemed to have no cure. She pulled her own furs which Severus had procured for her on the underworld forum tighter around her body. This was another thing that perhaps could be fixed with medicinal herbs. "Severus, find something that can increase the internal heat in the body."
If she recalled properly, this was the illness which she was told would freeze up the bones and cause them to shatter from the inside. There was no way she would be telling the people to go out and build snowmen in such conditions. She would be commiting mass murder if she did.
The winter jasmine trees in pots around the castle were blooming well, thriving even. The beautiful yellow flowers stood out, spreading their lovely scent in the air. Well at least something was coming alive in this cold harsh weather, the winter here was way colder than that of earth. She had given these trees small drops of crystal water just in case.
She also met a few cats that were walking in a group, as if they were on patrol in the castle. Spiritual animals were really interesting to watch, they behaved so intelligently and at times, looked upon being treated like ordinary animals disdainfully.
"Hey beautiful cats." she greeted them.
"Hi,"
"I am the most beautiful."
"She is talking to me."
"Who touched my tail?"
"I want crispy fish today."
Scarlet laughed at the different replies she heard coming from them. Since they were spirit pets, she could understand their language. When Esong returned, he would probably wonder if her lunacy had been cured or not because spirit animals had the most funny conversations she had ever listened in on. She often caught herself laughing alone around them.
She found her family gathered in the common room, watching a movie on a big screen while having breakfast. This was probably the same thing most families on the blue star were doing.
"Morning everyone." she greeted. "Hello beautiful nameless." she also poked the cheeks of her baby sister that was wrapped up tighter than a burrito in blankets and some kind of warming device, probably Carolyn manufactured.
"Great, come and explain to Adler that house Slytherin in this magic movie was the strongest house." Beord dragged her to his side and said loudly.
They were watching the first part of Harry potter after Alex cleaned it up and made it interstellar viewing quality.
"Nope, no time for this." she twisted her body like a worm and escaped his hold. "I have mecha class this morning with teacher Cecily." she replied.
"With Justin?" Fey asked.
Everyone started to giggle at the notion of mother and son attending the same class. For Justin it was normal because it was a class for children his age abut for Scarlet!!!, so abnormal.
She thought it was a joke but when she got to the classroom, it was not just Justin but three other kids as well.
"Welcome student Scarlet, please, take a seat." Cecily smiled and pointed at the desk and chair which was bigger than the others. She was going to be the oldest student in this class.
Justin pulled out his terminal and sent his father a text saying, "Daddy, mummy is in my class!!!."
