Chapter 1160: Plans



After talking a lot with Frigga and Eustace about the Tower, we continued our day as usual, this time, I decided to spend some more time with everyone else. Especially with the rest of our party. As I was planning on only going with my family, everyone else was going to be left behind, and I had to communicate this with my big "main party" that I brought everywhere across the deserts.

Because we sure had a gigantic party... Just how big we were? Literally nothing could stand against us when we were so many, quite literally an army. I can't believe we were so many and we still managed to always get anywhere somehow.

"Just as I thought, you're descending..." Catarina nodded. "Well, good luck then. I'm not really planning on going myself, that is too dangerous and unknown for me. I'll stay in the village for a while though, I want Silva to rest and learn math, magic, language, writing, and so on while staying here. And well... I just want her to have a better life for the moment. Once she is strong enough, maybe I'll bring her along for my next adventure."

"I'm definitely coming, big sis!" said Silva, her crimson eyes full of determination to drag herself wherever Catarina went to, as dangerous as it might be.

"Woof!" Blackie also barked in affirmation, their Undead Wolf had become a rather mighty steed and companion after several evolutions.

"Sure, alright, you're free to do whatever you want, you're a free spirit at heart after all," I nodded. "If you want to, you can bring Francesco and Silvio with you too."

The two Infernal Blazing Ghosts panicked, glaring at me in utter disbelief.

"Eeeh?! But master! You don't want us anymore?!"

"W-We've been helping everyone in the village! We love cooking for the children!"

"Is that so? Well... I just felt like I might be forcing you to be here, so if you truly wanted to leave, you're free to do so," I smiled.

"Nah, I am not bringing these two dumbasses," Catarina laughed.

"Eh?! So mean!"

"Catarina, after everything we've gone through, you can't treat us like that!"

Silvio and Francesca felt slightly hurt by her harsh words.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

But...

"Look, I didn't mean it in the way you thought," she sighed. "I do care about you two idiots... It just that, as you just said, you already made of this place your home, right? There's no obligation to come with me. You're happier here- Ah right, we're all ghosts now!"

"Wait, you're a ghost?!"

"Can't believe it!"

The two gasped as their ghostly figures expanded comically, and then Catarina showed her translucent, crimson-colored form.

"Of course! You can stay here as much as you want, permanently even! If you want, this will be

your home from now on, alright?"

"Ugh, you're hugging us too tightly, auntieeee!" Fabian complained.

"Hahaha!" Spectra only giggled cheerfully.

I'm glad I picked these brats, they're good kids.

They will grow up to become incredible adults.

I'm sure of it!

"Um, mom..." Laura wanted to say something.

"Oh yeah! You two should come with me if you really want to..." I said. "It can't be helped

after all I'm-"

"No, we're staying too," said Takeshi.

"Yeah, we want to stay here..." said Laura. "Unlike you, we don't have much of an attachment

with Earth, we don't really care about going back."

"Not one bit," Takeshi said.

"Oh..." I muttered. "B-But... really? Not one bit?"

"Nope..."

"Not at all."

"Ahh..."

Okay then...

"Well, there's something else, another reason too..." Laura said mysteriously.
