Chapter 111: The Dorm House

Chapter 111: The Dorm House

The spacious interior was bathed in ample sunlight, with mana lights illuminating areas untouched by the outdoor lighting. As they entered, the group found themselves in an entrance hall, its size resembling that of a normal living room. Directly opposite the entrance stood a staircase leading upstairs, while on either side of the entrance were two doorways.

Opting to explore the right side first, Thea's group funneled through the doorway and discovered a decently sized dining room.

In its center, a round dining table and chairs were set for ten people. A decorative couch adorned the right side of the room, while a cabinet holding plates and cutlery occupied the opposite corner. Another doorway stood on the right side, its entrance distinguished by saloon doors. Peeking through the gap, Thea caught a glimpse of what lay beyond an industrial kitchen.

"I wonder how the larger kitchen looks, especially if this one is already so spacious," pondered Thea as she surveyed the well-equipped culinary space. From stone ovens to mana-powered metallic fridges, everything she needed was at her fingertips. There was only one thing missinga fryer.

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen anything fried yet. Even the donuts I had back at home were baked apparently. This might be a worthwhile future investment," Thea contemplated, her mind teeming with numerous business opportunities.

Curiously, Lily approached Thea, standing beside her. "What are you planning now?" she inquired.

"Do you know what frying is?" Thea asked, her mother's response holding the potential for future endeavors and income.

"Frying? No, I haven't heard of it yet... Why?" Lily responded, her curiosity piqued.

"Hmm, I'll show you tomorrow or the day after... Do you think you could get some cooking oil, and in large quantities?" Thea asked. New novel chapters are published on

"I'll need to purchase some, but it shouldn't take more than a day or two. Are you planning to cook something?" Lily inquired, her excitement growing.

"Why not," Lily replied, accommodating the request.

Interrupting their conversation, John interjected, "I'm sorry for eavesdropping, but do you two realize that the gate will close after we go back?"

Lily answered with a gentle smile, "I am aware of that."

Though her response addressed the question, their curiosity remained, prompting John to inquire further. "How do you plan on bringing her bed here, if the gate closes?"

"With magic, of course," Lily responded, her smile remaining.

"...Never mind," John relinquished with a sigh, realizing the futility of his inquiry.

"Anyways, now that you girls have seen the house, do you want to stay with me?" Thea asked the twins, her question carrying a dual meaning.

Blushing, the twins nodded in agreement. Observing the scene, Lily turned to John and suggested, "I think we should go. Give the girls their clothes and belongings, lets go grab a coffee. We still have some things to discuss."

John was taken aback by Lily's words, or rather, Zyla's words, as he saw her now. Nonetheless, he accepted the suggestion. Giving the twins two storage bags each, he showered them with hugs and kisses before being led away by Lily.

Lily had also embraced Thea and Mia, slipping a bluish stone into Thea's hand. "This is a message stone. Contact me later," Lily instructed before departing with John, leaving the four girls standing there, contemplating the new chapter that lay before them.
