Stellar Train: I Open a Small Shop on the Train-Chapter 179
Chapter 179 - 179
Soon, Ye Yun, Xiangling, and the little mischievous evil god finished preparing tonight's meal.
Every night, there were at least 20 people eating.
Each meal had at least 20 dishes.
As for whether anyone worried about having too much food and not finishing it?Paimon said, "How little do you think of my appetite! With Paimon here, there's no need to worry about waste — it will all be eaten clean."
Ye Yun called out to the group playing in the sofa tea area.
"Stelleg, Firefly, Milim, dinner's ready, go wash your hands quickly."
Milim immediately perked up when she heard it was time to eat.
This flying chess game was really hard to play — her plane would get hit back by Kiana or others just after a short time.
This flying chess game was impossible to play!
Milim dashed to the small bar and took out her personal rice bowl from the cabinet.
In a flash, Milim appeared at the dining table holding her bowl. Looking at the table full of delicious food, she took a deep breath.
The aroma of the food filled her nostrils and instantly excited her, making her twin ponytails swing wildly.
"Wow!!! So much delicious food! I'm going to eat it all up!"
At that moment, Himeko came over, scrutinizing Milim.
"Milim, did you wash your hands?"
Milim felt guilty as soon as she heard the question and became restless.
"Um... I washed them!"
Himeko softly hummed and asked again.
"Really?"
Milim broke out in a cold sweat, jumped up from her chair, and ran to the small bar to wash her hands alongside Klee and Bailu.
Milim waved her hands under the faucet for a moment and tried to leave, but Bailu grabbed her.
"You need to use some soap to get them clean!"
Bailu squeezed some hand soap onto Milim's hands, rubbed them together, and rinsed with water.
"All done, now they're really clean."
Milim looked at her hands — indeed, they looked much whiter than before.
"So amazing! My hands actually got whiter."
Bailu rolled her eyes at Milim.
"You didn't just whiten them, you cleaned them! How long has it been since you last washed your hands?"
Milim didn't feel embarrassed and answered seriously.
"Probably decades."
As a demon lord, Milim had a long lifespan and a vague sense of time.
Also, in Rimuru's world, the hygiene standards of an entire world were just average at best.
So Milim didn't think much of it.
After washing her hands, Milim returned to the table and waved her hand next to Himeko.
"Look! I washed my hands!"
Milim looked at Himeko expectantly for praise, and Himeko smiled.
"Good. Remember, you must wash your hands before every meal, got it?"
Milim was overjoyed to get praised.
"Okay! I'll definitely wash my hands before every meal from now on!"
Then everyone gathered around the table and started eating.
At that moment, Topaz's phone rang. She picked it up and saw a message from Aventurine.
"Everyone, Aventurine sent over the schedule for the first round of tomorrow's elimination matches. Want to take a look?"
Stelle, Firefly, and the others nodded eagerly.
Topaz said, "I'll send it to the big group so everyone can see."
Soon, everyone's phones rang, and they all looked at their screens.
Milim looked up with her mouth full, feeling confused.
What are these people doing? Each of them holding a glowing tablet, staring at it and not even eating?
Paimon sat beside Milim and was surprised Milim hadn't buried her head in her bowl.
"What's wrong, Milim?"
Milim pointed at the others with her spoon.
"Why aren't they eating?"
Paimon glanced at them indifferently.
"Don't mind them. We eat our own food. After this bowl, we'll get another."
Milim nodded and focused on eating, ignoring the others.
Stelle looked at the schedule. Her opponent tomorrow was a girl from an unknown planet with three spirits:
Water-type spirit: Steeltooth Shark.
Mechanical-type spirit: Paipai.
Flying-type spirit: Little Firefly.
Among them, Steeltooth Shark was the strongest, at level 30.
Stelle felt a bit worried.
This Steeltooth Shark was pretty strong and just happened to counter her Blaze Monkey.
"This is a bit tough. Could it be that the mighty Galactic Fire Hero is going to be eliminated in the first round? That would seriously damage my reputation."
Ye Yun smiled and said to Stelle:
"How about this? Want to spend some money?"
Stelle shrugged helplessly.
"Spending money won't help, unless I buy a god-level spirit core and hatch a super powerful spirit now."
Ye Yun shook his head.
"No, I mean, do you want to level up Mika? Her combat power is pretty strong."
Stelle looked at Mika, who saw her looking and stood up with hands on hips, expectantly staring at Stelle.
Stelle looked at Mika for a while, then turned to Ye Yun.
"How many star coins?"
Ye Yun snapped his fingers, and a stone wrapped in bubbles appeared in front of Stelle.
"This is Mika's exclusive evolution stone. Using it will instantly raise Mika's level to 60 and evolve her into the Miris form, greatly boosting her combat power.As for the price, it's not cheap — 200,000 star coins. So, how about it? Want one?"
Stelle hesitated. She only had 400,000 star coins left.
Her daily fixed income from the farm was about 500 star coins now.
With that little daily income, if she wanted to collect more stellar Jades, she'd have to find a way to sneak into Amphoreus to open boxes secretly.
"I'll think about it."
Silver Wolf teased her.
"Yo, A Stelle, you can't even spend 200,000 star coins?"
Stelle rolled her eyes.
"Why don't you get one? Easy for you to say. Besides Topaz and the others just took on a big order from Ye Yun, who else has 500,000 star coins?"
Almost everyone had spent their coins during the last lottery store event.
No one wanted to miss the resurrection cards.
Then everyone continued eating, and after dinner, each went home to rest.
Milim looked at the dispersing group and ran to Himeko.
"Himeko, can you arrange a place for me to stay?"
Himeko, about to take Bailu to wash up, asked:
"Aren't you going back to your place?"
Milim shook her head.
"I don't want to go back. I can't eat well or play well there. I want to stay and play here~ okay~ Himeko~" Milim tugged on Himeko's hand, shaking it and acting cute, trying to get a place to stay from her.
***
Upon hearing this, Himeko said,
"Alright, come with me, I'll take you to the treehouse."
Milim was happy that she could stay, spinning around in place excitedly.
Then, Milim followed Himeko to first send the seven little ones back to the Rose Castle to rest.
Next, Himeko led Milim to the treehouse.
As soon as they entered, they saw Stelle, Hutao, Silver Wolf, Amber, and Calestia sitting in the hall playing console games.
"Stelle, are you guys going to stay up all night again?"
Stelle shook her head in response.
"We'll play a bit more, then go to sleep."
Himeko said,
"Okay, don't play too late, you have a match tomorrow. By the way, Milim is staying here tonight, so take her along later."
Stelle looked at Milim and waved to her.
"Milim, come sit here. After I finish this round, I'll find you a room."
Milim happily ran to Stelle's side, curiously staring at the big screen.
"What game are you playing?"
Stelle thought for a moment and restarted a game, inviting everyone including Milim to play.
They were playing a game similar to Contra, supporting up to ten players, but the more players, the higher the difficulty. Each player's lives are counted separately.
Milim got absorbed in the game quickly. For a kid like her, this kind of video game was absolutely irresistible.
Inside St. Freya Academy,
Theresa gathered Kiana, Mei, Bronya, Fu Hua, Durandal, and Himeko at Kiana's house.
Under their gazes, Theresa took out the resurrection card she had bought from the little evil god.
"Kiana, Durandal, are you ready?"
Kiana and Durandal nodded.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I'm ready!"
"Yes, I'm ready too."
Theresa tore the resurrection card and shouted loudly the name.
"Revive! Cecilia!"
As Theresa finished speaking, a door appeared in the center of the group. The door slowly opened, and a woman resembling Kiana and Durandal floated out.
The woman landed on the ground and slowly opened her eyes, looking around in confusion before fixing her gaze on Theresa.
"Theresa? Are you dead too?"
Theresa looked at the woman, trembling with excitement.
"It's not me who's dead, it's you who revived, Cecilia. Welcome back!"
Cecilia was curious.
"Revived? What's going on?"
Just as Cecilia finished speaking, a white figure flashed before her eyes—a white-haired girl with a ponytail appeared in front of her.
"Mom! Let me explain. Actually, you died many years ago. Then we met some friends from another world. They gave us something that can revive people. So, you were revived!"
Cecilia was puzzled but quickly understood.
She looked at Theresa.
"Theresa, she's my daughter, right?"
Theresa nodded.
"Yes, Kiana is your daughter, and so is Durandal over there."
Cecilia was trying to make sense of things, now more confused.
"I remember when I checked back then, there was only one. How could there be twins? That's impossible. Did I remember wrong?"
Seeing Cecilia's confusion, Theresa explained the whole situation.
"In short, that's the situation. Anyway, genetically, Kiana and Durandal are 100% your daughters."
Cecilia was very angry. "Otto! How dare you! How could you do this to Kiana!"
"Theresa, where is Archbishop Otto now?"
Theresa replied,
"He has been executed and is currently imprisoned in a special prison in another world. The situation there is very complicated. If you want to see him, I can help you arrange it."
Kiana heard Cecilia wanted to see Otto and bounced excitedly, waving her hands.
"Mom~ Mom~ Do you want to see Otto? I can take you. I'm very close with Dparkle; I'll just call her!"
Cecilia smiled warmly at lively and cute Kiana.
"Good, my Kiana is really great and amazing. Alright, let's not talk about him now.
Kiana, Durandal, come here."
Kiana and Durandal approached Cecilia.
Cecilia wrapped her arms around them and gently stroked their hair.
"Alright, come tell mom, have you been eating well?
Did you make good friends at school?
Have you been exercising regularly?"
Theresa, Mei, and the others saw this scene and quietly left the room, giving Cecilia, Kiana, and Durandal some space.
The three talked for more than an hour before coming out.
Cecilia looked at Theresa and the others waiting outside and smiled.
"Sorry, we talked for a while."
Mei smiled.
"It's okay, Senior Cecilia."
Kiana jumped happily next to Mei and introduced her to Cecilia.
"Mom~ This is Mei, my best, best, best friend. She cooks really delicious meals!"
Cecilia looked at Mei and smiled.
"Hello, Mei, thank you for taking care of Kiana."
Mei shook her head.
"No need to thank me, Senior Cecilia. Kiana is my good friend. It's what I should do."
Kiana then ran to Bronya.
"Mom~ This is Bronya, a little dwarf, a big idiot, hehe~"
Bronya rolled her eyes at Kiana, looking very disgusted.
"Dummy Kiana, poor thing, I don't know when you got delusional, always talking nonsense."
Kiana responded,
"What? I'm not sick. I'm very healthy!
And! I'm not an idiot. I'm the owner of the Athena Valkyrie armor! The strongest Valkyrie of destiny! The incarnation of wisdom and war!"
Bronya chuckled.
"Hehe~"
Cecilia, watching the two tease each other, realized that although they insulted each other, their relationship was actually very good.
If they weren't close, they would have fought by now.
"Hello, Bronya."
Bronya heard Cecilia greet her and stopped paying attention to Kiana.
"Hello, Senior Cecilia. I have read about your deeds countless times when browsing books."
Cecilia smiled.
"Oh? My deeds are even recorded in books?"
