Chapter 48: Eh?...

  Narrator Vulely: “Shouldn’t we… be going to fight right now?” I ask with a defeated tone.

  Celia: “Our attacker has decided to calm down, so I see no reason to go into battle immediately. This current party is strong enough to where we don’t have to really worry, you know.” She denied with an unbothered shrug.

  Narrator Vulely: “(- _ -)”

  Guanyu: “Not going to war on our own actions is wise, Vulely. Ignoring that being makes us look far stronger, as well.” She added with an approving nod.

  Narrator Vulely: “( ’-’ ~)”

  Xena and Nemu chimed in with (which I’ll omit out of spite) their own… nothing reasons as for why this was all above board, and logical. Like that nightmare I witnessed was just a mere joke, or figment of my imagination… this group went shopping instead of fighting our newest enemy!!!

  Really… Celia is such a slut for fashion, what is even the point of shopping for clothes in this Dimension? There is absolutely not a single reason to ever where ANYTHING not made by that woman!

  Guanyu: “Vulely, Nemu has me concerned. Did you and her do anything important without my knowledge? And will you willingly give me your memories of said things?” She asked with a scary, more-serious-than-ever-before tone, directing it right to my mind.

  Narrator Vulely: “…”

  Guanyu: “Ah, Nemu must be threatening you, yes? Worry not, as I shall vow to protect you from her, if it ever comes to that.” She added with a knowing tone, softening her voice.

  Damn… now I understand even more why that entire Cultivation world feared Guanyu. It would be very nice to rat Nemu out to this Cultivator. But… I can’t, as Nemu can still do crazy shit with Mana. Oh well… Hm? Did Guanyu just flinch?… Fuuuuck!!! She was listening in on my thoughts, and I forgot that Guanyu is one of the few people who know of Celia’s Mana origins!!!

  Kiss!

  Nemu, Xena, Celia, and Me as well: “(~OAO)”

  Guanyu: “I see, I see… I really should have known about this by now. Thankfully, I’ve obtained this interesting knowledge.” She said with a bit of a dissatisfied tone at the start, before it turned to a happier tone.

  Celia: “What kind of knowledge did you get from just kissing me, Guanyu?” She asked with a deeply confused expression, rubbing her lips from the sudden kiss.

  Guanyu: “That your lips always taste so good, dear. Now, this dresses design is quite pretty. Let’s see if it works on you, and then we’ll steal the design for our homemade clothes.” She replied with a coaxing tone, gently guiding Celia into one of the free dressing rooms. “Nemu, I’ve restricted your Mana powers. Once I get a clear picture of what happened from Vulely… I’ll consider returning them to you.” She inwardly voiced, both to me, and considering the words and Nemu’s subtle reaction… Nemu also heard the Cultivator’s lecturing sentence.

  Nemu and Me: “…”

  Silence filled the store, as Nemu stayed in a corner by herself. Xena was off looking around this place, so it was just me (in voice form) and Nemu alone. I noticed Nemu trying to use her control over Mana several times, but she clearly failed to do anything at all…
