Chapter 511: Breakfast conversation and requests
"Rizzy has a very complicated background..." — seeing everyone’s interest, Idan decided to share the story of Rizzy while she was drinking his blood.
Idan told about his first meeting with the baby, keeping silent about a small incident that happened before that. Arabel, remembering what had happened then, was embarrassed and looked down. Fortunately, no one paid any attention to her.
Idan revealed the secret of Rizzy’s connection with Nemo and Izzy.
"That’s why her name sounded like Izzy’s to me," Irene remarked. "So Rizzy, like Izzy, is this Nemo’s daughter?"
"Ha ha ha! Nemo didn’t have time to leave Limbo, but he already became the father of two daughters? That’s hilarious," laughing, Esma held her stomach.
Irene, Arslan and Hailey were impressed by Nemo. All three of them showed some interest and wanted to meet him. Especially Arslan, who didn’t have many close male friends. He had learned a lot of new and interesting things about Nemo over the past day, and he thought he could find a common language with him, just like with Idan.
After listening to Rizzy’s story, Irene and Arslan found the whole situation very funny. Now they themselves have become uncle and aunt to Idan and Arabel’s adopted daughter.
It didn’t bother them much that Rizzy was a vampire. On the contrary, they found it very interesting. A tiny vampire cub with chubby cheeks and red eyes, sucking blood sweetly, was charming in their eyes.
What surprised them the most was that the baby would grow very fast compared to a human child. Compared to that, the fact that she could only drink the blood of Idan and Arabel didn’t surprise Irene and Arslan much.
"So it was you who cooked all these dishes?" Irene asked incredulously during breakfast, after learning that all these magnificent dishes were prepared by her younger brother.
"Yeah, Dan cooked it all, just like all the dishes from yesterday," Arabel confirmed.
"What?" — Irene stared at her younger brother, Idan, in disbelief at all this.
Last night’s dinner was truly great. Irene had never tasted such delicious dishes in both worlds.
In their home world, the cooking of the new world has not yet been properly developed, and in Junonia, Irene has not yet encountered cuisine of the same level as the one she tried yesterday.
Because of the conversation yesterday, it didn’t even occur to her to ask where all this great dish came from. The presence of powerful women made Irene think that all those dishes from yesterday were related to their presence.
"You’re really talented, Idan," Esma said admiringly, and her words only confirmed Idan’s cooking skills.
Irene looked at Arabel with mild envy, and then at Arslan with disappointment.
Arslan only smiled faintly. Unlike Idan, he didn’t have any talent for cooking, and he understood Irene’s feelings, but he couldn’t do anything about it.
"Hehe," — Arabel grinned and, not wanting to be left behind, declared: "My cooking is not much inferior to Dan’s cooking. I’ll give you a taste of my dishes one of these days."
Irene looked at Arabel incredulously and, seeking confirmation of her words, stared at Idan.
"Indeed, Belle’s cooking is not much inferior to mine," he nodded, which came as a real shock to Irene.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Arabel shared her intention to contribute to the development of the cuisine of the new world and to begin actively searching for talented chefs.
Her words caught the attention of Irene and Hayley. Irene was passionate about the idea of learning to cook as well as Arabel, and Hayley was intrigued not so much by the cooking process, but by the fact that if Arabel was successful, she would have more opportunities to enjoy delicious food.
"Sister, how would you like to move here to our territory?" asked Idan, recalling his conversation with Arslan yesterday.
Instead of answering, Irene looked at Arabel to get her opinion on the matter. To her surprise, Arabel did not frown or show any indignation, but, on the contrary, smiled.
"Frankly speaking, I wanted to ask for permission to bring my son here at least for a while," Irene confessed. It seemed to her that this place was the safest in their world right now, and she wanted to bring her son here.
"Bring my little nephew here, Irene," Arabel said and added: "And your mother, too."
"Good," Irene happily agreed.
"And thank you," she added gratefully.
"Don’t mention it, Sister, we’re a family," Idan said.
"You too, brother," — Arabel said to Arslan. "You can move in with us."
"Idan asked me about it yesterday and asked me to talk to Irene," Arslan replied.
"But I haven’t had time to talk to her yet," Arslan said, looking at Irene.
"Okay, then after breakfast, come back and start packing. Belle will come after she finishes her business and help with the relocation," Idan said.
Irene and Arslan nodded, agreeing with his suggestion.
"Sister, Arslan, I would also like to ask you for help in finding and hiring suitable people." Just like yesterday, Idan shared his plan to create the first wave of Beast Tamers in their world.
The requirements for candidates were as follows: they could be both awakened and mortal, Idan made no distinction between them. Age didn’t matter either. The main thing is that candidates should be prepared to face the Third Disaster and have experience of survival and fighting with animals.
"You can invite Awakened Ones from your own Guilds as well as from others. The most important thing is that they can be trusted." Idan outlined his requirements for the awakened.
After a short discussion about finding suitable candidates, Idan did not forget to ask for experienced builders from both awakened and ordinary people.
Idan needed to find the right person so that the doppelgangers could copy him and start setting up their territory.
There shouldn’t have been any problems with the materials. They could easily transfer everything they needed to their territory using magic bags and their storage ability.
"Okay, we’ll help," Arslan replied.
"Hailey," — Idan called, and his voice immediately caught the girl’s attention. "I want you to go to the capital and find a suitable building for our guild branch."
"Oh, no problem," Hailey agreed, still chewing.
"Please also buy the goods that the Master and the others asked for," Arabel turned to Hailey.
"Okay," — Hailey nodded. She had already seen the entire list, and although there were many items, she did not see any difficulties with her magic bag. As for the money, she had enough of her own, and the money Idan and Arabel had asked her to keep.
"Irene, Arslan," — Arabel addressed them at the end of breakfast, after Esma had addressed her through the Soul Force. "Tell me, how much do you trust Yulaya and Hazel? We would like to know your opinion on whether we should cooperate with their Guild and invite them here."
