Chapter 55: A Mistake That Must Be Kept Secret!

  Tia and her sisters all asked Celia just to continue sleeping for now, as they had something to attend to. Celia, now knowing her connection to the three… thought nothing of it, figuring herself as someone who had a good taste in women, as well as people.

  Even with their crimes, Celia didn’t really care. This time around, she wasn’t a saint, and never would be. Regardless of what they did… she was betting that Guanyu had done far worse, after all.

  Lia: “Shit…” She said softly.

  Tia: “Lia, stop repeating that curse over and over again… We have to face reality.” She sternly scolded.

  Lia: “Reality? How can we…” She scoffed, not accepting the scolding.

  Nia: “It isn’t that bad, Lia.” She coaxed.

  Kids In The Cell: “…”

  Back in the dungeon, the three were in front a specific cell. In it were two little girls, names being… Nina, and June. Upon coming across the two randomly while strolling around this city, Nia had kidnapped them, and kept the two in this cell for months.

  Originally, Nia just assumed that she had the urge to torture them to death. Although she never did so, and even made sure that the little girls were properly fed and clothed. This lingering confusion… lasted until Xena helped them.

  Lia: “We kept our daughters locked up in a dark, scary cell for months, you two! Can this really be forgiven?!” She exclaimed in anger, both at herself and at her sisters.

  Lia: “They aren’t dead, nor injured. Mere hardship… is something they know, and can get past. We just have to get Xena to recover their memories, and they’ll understand.” She replied with a confident tone.

  Nia: “Hopefully… I can’t believe that I’d ever treat my daughters this cruelly.” She added with great remorse.

  Xena: “Oh, that’s why I felt their Souls nearby. What’s this? The family is almost entirely back together!” She said with another excited laugh.

  A Repeat Of Earlier!

  June: “…Maybe I can be Celia’s daughter in full this time.” She said with a relieved, even happy tone, as she was released from imprisonment.

  Nina: “Heh… I guess so. Regardless, mothers, we require… boons for your crimes. Causing your own daughters so much emotional distress like this, surely giving us PTSD… isn’t so easily forgiven.” She said with a smug expression.

  Tia: “Whatever you wish for, we’ll acquire. But due please recall… this Dimension is limited in entertainment.” She replied with a forced smile, fully aware of Nina’s hobbies.

  Nina: “Can’t you beg Xena for some manga, or something? I want to laze around for a few days to recover…” She poutedly requested.

  Poof!

  Everyone: “( ? _ ? )”

  A treasure trove of manga flooded the dungeon hall, them being the best of the best from various modern Dimensions. Despite never courting Celia’s… Xena accidentally started seeing herself as part of the family. She was already taking care of Ruina, one of the daughters, so that didn’t help in this regard.

  And witnessing the cute, barely 8-year-old Nina begging for manga… ignited Xena’s maternal instincts, forcing her to give the girl what she requested. Ignoring the very strict rules she herself put in place…
