NOVEL NEXT Chapter 94: Chapter : 94 : It's Camping Time!
"D-don't look," Lysandra shouted, embarrassed beyond comprehension.
"I was not a part of this!" Vegia shouted, defending herself.
Zera had already looked away before Lysandra shouted. Zera was blushing furiously, *W-why did I have to look? Stupid. Stupid Zera.*
"I want to vanish," Arisha muttered, her hands cupping her face in embarrassment.
"Oh, come on. It's not that bad." Thrisrle teased.
"Heartlord! Give me my clothes back!" Xyxion asked, clutching onto Aiden, so her front can't be seen.
Aiden nodded, smiling nervously, "System... Do as she says,"
---
[REQUEST ACCEPTED]
---
Clothes reappeared on Nyxion's body, wrapping around her curves. Nyxion, regaining a sense of modesty, took a sigh of relief.
Then she hugged him tightly, wrapping her arms around his neck, whispering into his ears, "Heartlord, I love you."
"I love you too," Aiden whispered back.
Beside them... Leona and Ivy twitched. Leona yawned, and Ivy rubbed her eyes, finally waking up.
"Daddy... Mummy..." Leona muttered, rubbing her eyes.
"What timing!" Vegia frowned.
---
[SOUNDPROOFING DEACTIVATED]
---
Lysandra scooped Leona up, pressing her to her breast, "Ohh, baby, good morning. Did you sleep well?"
She nodded.
Slowly, she opened her eyes groggily. As she got used to it, she looked around. Her eyes fell on Nyxion and Aiden.
"Daddy... Why Ny-Mummy on your lap?" Leona asked, perplexed.
Ivy had gotten up. "Did we get out of the forest?" She asked, yawning cutely.
Arisha ruffled her hair, "Good morning, Ivy-Chan."
Ivy nodded.
"Ahh... She just got scared. That's all." Aiden replied, scratching his cheek nervously.
Nyxion turned her head toward Leona, pouting. "Your daddy is mine right now. Don't think of taking him from me now." She said, as she was still recovering emotionally.
Loena started giggling, "Ny-Mummy is such a kid."
Nyxion stuck her tongue toward her, pushing her cheek on his chest.
Leona just giggled.
Lysandra smiled, leaning in to plant a soft kiss on her forehead, "Nyxion... Don't act like a child." She said, scolding her.
Ivy blushed a bit, thinking of everything that might have happened when she was asleep.
Then she noticed, "Fluffynugget? Where is Fluffynugget?"
They looked around.
"I have seen him after these two fell asleep," Thristle said.
"Mii~"
His voice came from the direction of Zera.
Zera laughed, rubbing the back of her head nervously, "He just came out and started giving me company. Though I don't understand anything this cute little fluffball said."
Fluffynugget flew inside, reaching toward Luna, then clung onto her tail, and gave a content, "Mii~"
"Ohh look... He is home." Aiden said, jokingly.
Leona laughed cutely at it.
"You naughty little boy. You finally remember where you should be?" Luna purred mockingly, then smiled.
"Why did we stop?" Lysandra asked Zera.
"Well... In a few minutes, it will be completely dark, and it will be impossible to be on the right path. We should make preparations before it is completely dark. Like setting up a campfire and a tent." She explained, still blushing from earlier.
"Okay, girls. Time to work." Aiden said, then added, "Nyxion... are you done recharging?"
Nyxion frowned, didn't want to leave, but reluctantly got off him, pouting toward him.
---
The group had already set up a campfire.
"Easy!" Luna said proudly.
"Have you two done this before?" Vegia asked.
"Yes. Master and I met in this forest when I was just a wolf. We spent a month in here." Luna explained, grinning toward her.
"Time for tents," Zera shouted cheerfully.
She went at it instantly.
"She looks really excited," Lysandra asked, carrying Leona, who giggled at Zera.
"Seems like it." Others said in unison.
"Mii~"
"I always wanted to have this. Sitting in front of the fire, sleeping inside a tent, in a dark forest. It's all so new and exciting." Zera said cheerfully, her eyes sparkling.
---
[SYSTEM NOTIFICATION]
[THE BEST TENT HAS BEEN CHOSEN.]
[DO YOU WANT TO BUY IT?"
---
The panel appeared in front of Aiden. The sound of the synthetic woman was heard by everyone except Zera.
"It can speak?" Vegia said, confused.
"Why? Is it not supposed to speak?" Aiden asked.
"No. I mean, I never heard of panels speaking to their owner." Vegia replied.
"Let's think of that later. Let's see what she has stored for us." Aiden said, looking toward the screen.
"It's so glowy, daddy," Leona said, beaming.
Ivy nodded, "Mmm...."
Aiden smiled toward her, then looked back toward the screen.
---
[THE CONTINUUM TENT: THIS CAN ACCOMMODATE AS MANY PEOPLE AS THE USER WANTS, BUT WILL LOOK THE SAME FROM THE OUTSIDE.]
[PRIZE: 15200 GOLD COINS]
[WOULD YOU LIKE TO BUY IT?]
---
---
"Hmm... Not bad." Aiden muttered.
"Now we can sleep inside the same tent without setting up multiple tents. We can also stay close to Master." Luna said cheerfully, beaming, "Master, please... Buy it."
He looked toward the others. They nodded in agreement, a mischievous smile playing on their lips.
"I am not joining," Vegia said. clutching her staff close to her chest.
"Oh Vegi-Chan... You're such a child." Thristle teased.
She looked toward Zera, who was still setting up her own tent, absorbed in her work.
"Hey... Can I share your tent?" Vegia asked, reaching her.
Zera didn't notice her at first, but when she repeated, she looked over her shoulder, "Huh?"
"Can I? I don't want to be in the same tent as that pervert. Who knows what he will try?"
Zera smiled nervously, "You can if you want. I will have a sleeping buddy with me. Lucky me."
Aiden sighed, then purchased the tent.
---
[PURCHASE COMPLETE]
---
The tent appeared in front of them, where he wanted it to be.
The tent was the size of a normal tent for two, but the surface had intricate designs and arcane symbols.
"Huh? It's so small. I thought it would be big." Luna frowned, looking disappointed.
Ivy walked toward the tent. Standing in front of the tent, she grabbed the zipper.
Slowly, she pulled it down. Then she went inside.
"Kiddo... Is it big from the inside?" Aiden asked.
No answer came at first.
"Hey... Why isn't she replying?" Lysandra asked, worried.
"Aunt!" Leona called.
"Ivy, I am coming in," Aiden shouted.
Vegia and Zera heard the commotion and walked toward them.
"What happened now?" Vegia asked.
"Ivy went inside, but did not answer."
"What do you mean she is not answering?" Vegia asked.
"Girls... Don't come in until I say so." Aiden made it clear.
Slowly, he went inside. What met his eyes was not something he was ready to find. She saw Ivy, sitting on top of a neatly prepared futon, and there were exactly eleven of them, as he had thought for the size of the space. Ivy was looking around. It was white all around.
"Girls, come in!" Aiden said, walking toward the centre futon, making himself comfortable.
The other heard it and came inside one by one.
Luna's tail wagged as she dashed in, "Whoa… Master, it's huge! Look, look! I can run circles in here if I want!"
"Don't," Lysandra scolded her, stepping in with Leona in her arms. "This… This feels like a royal chamber hidden inside a tent. Incredible."
"Mii~" Fluffynugget squeaked, fluttering around Ivy before settling right on her lap. Ivy giggled, hugging him tight.
Arisha entered slowly, eyes wide. "This… This can't be a tent. It's like walking into another world."
Zera practically jumped inside, her mouth hanging open. "Uwaaah! I knew it was special, but this? This is like a palace! So much space! Look, even the futons are soft and fluffy." She plopped down on one, bouncing up and down like a kid.
Vegia followed, hugging her staff close, still blushing from earlier. "It's… too much. What sort of system is this? It's absurd."
"Just accept it, Vegi-chan. My King always pulls out the impossible." Thristle smirked, already making herself comfortable on the futon next to Aiden's.
Nyxion clung to Aiden's arm possessively, resting her cheek on his shoulder. "I'm sleeping beside Heartlord. No one is stealing this spot."
Luna puffed her cheeks, looping her arms around his other arm. "No! I was first. Master always sleeps with me."
"Mnnhh… but today, I'm the one who gave myself to him." Nyxion shot back, her eyes blazing.
Leona, watching from Lysandra's lap, clapped her hands. "Ny-Mummy, Lu-Mummy… don't fight. Daddy is big, so both can sleep with him!"
Everyone laughed at her innocent logic.
Aiden sighed, patting Leona's head. "My wise little girl."
Lysandra sat down gracefully.
Arisha was quiet, but her hand rested on Aiden's thigh as if to remind herself she was still there.
Zera noticed and chuckled nervously, "Looks like I'm the only one not glued to you."
"Want to join?" Thristle teased immediately, winking at her.
"Wh-what? No!" Zera yelped, hugging her knees, her face crimson.
Vegia groaned, "How do I always end up stuck with lunatics?"
"Mii~" Fluffynugget chirped in agreement, making Ivy laugh even harder.
Zera's stomach let out a loud, grumbling growl. She smiled nervously, rubbing the back of her head, cheeks red in embarrassment, "Can we eat now?"
