Chapter 1183: Meeting Old Friends 1
To have some fun before departing, Maria and company decided to go visit the Dwarf Kingdom again after a long while, bringing forth new faces that had never visited the place, such as Fabian and his friends, and also Nia, Celes, and Eustace.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Woah, what with this place?" Fabian gasped. "So many things... and steam?!"
"Why is that carriage moving on its own?! It has no horses?" Beery jumped out of surprise.
"Look! Look! They're selling some weird fluffy colorful thing, it smells sweet! What's that? they're making it using a machine!" said Spectra.
"It looks so colorful, but smells like sugar...?" Nick asked.
"This place's so incredible!" Garon said.
"That's cotton candy kids," said Maria with a giggle. "They make it using a special machine, it's really tasty! Do you want to give it a try?"
"I want too!" Celes jumped, grabbing Maria's dress.
"Of course dear! Let's go have some cotton candy then!" Maria nodded with a giggle. "Nyx, want some too?"
"Oooh, cotton candy?! Yeaah!" Nyx came running towards Maria after she was called. She was mostly distracted from looking everywhere.
As they all ran to buy cotton candy for the kids, there was a couple here that were having a date together amidst all the chaos.
"This place is so amazing... I never visited this place before, Veredorr..." Tear smiled as she looked around, holding the hand of her boyfriend.
"It is a pretty amazing place, yeah!" Veredorr nodded, his pale skin was growing red from all the steam everywhere. "Really hot though... I visited it when I was a ghost, so I didn't feel it at all, but yeah, this place's really something... How can dwarves just be fine in this heat?"
"Haha! I guess we're the weirdos here, we're too used to the cold," giggled Tear.
"I suppose so," Veredorr smiled, looking at Tear's adorable attire, she was wearing a very beautiful white summer dress, and a comfortable-looking straw hat for the sun that was rather strong in the mornings here. "You look beautiful today as well."
"E-Eh?" Tear was caught off guard with the sudden compliment, growing as red as a tomato, her blue skin turning red was also a very cute thing. "Geez... I am not that pretty... Seriously, I don't know what you find cute about me..."
"Everything?" Veredorr laughed. "You're the most beautiful woman in the world, Tear."
"Hello! Is someone there~?"
She knocked the door very loudly, until someone came running to open the door angrily.
"Okay who is it?! Who is knocking the door so damn hard you piece of shit- Ah, Maria?! Long time no see!"
It was a beautiful dwarf woman with red hair made into braids and freckles, with a tomboyish attitude and a motherly smile.
"Helga! I brought the whole family today! Can we fit inside?"
"Woah, what in the world?! You sure got a HUGE family!" laughed Helga. "Good thing we got a larger house now! Lucifer! Emeraldine, Partner! How have you been?!"
"We've been good, thank you Helga, a lot has happened," Lucifer smiled warmly.
"Yeah, too much I would say!" giggled Emeraldine. "Glad to see you fine and healthy!"
"Yep! We fought a few monsters here and there, a few gods... but it's alright," Partner nodded. "Honest to god work."
"E-Eh? Wait, what?!" Helga gasped. "Okay, you gotta tell me all of that right now! Myriad! Kids! We've got guests! Maria came back!"
"Wait, what? Maria?!" Myriad responded from afar, Maria assumed he was on his workshop
most likely.
"Auntie Mariaaaa!"
"Uncle Lucifer!"
"Auntie Emeraldine is here?"
"Auntie Partner looks so beautiful!"
And also all five of Helga and Myriad children came running, it was a big family, but even
then, they were very welcoming.
