Chapter 659: You Have Good Sisters



Stella slowly opened her eyes and looked in the distance.

She had been training with Siri for nearly six weeks, and the two of them had gotten closer during that time.

Unfortunately, something came up, so Siri had to leave, and they had to halt their training midway.

Just as Stella was thinking on where she should go next, she sensed something headed in her direction.

Since she was gifted with good eyesight that could lock into a target from a mile away, she was able to see a familiar scene, which made her smile.

From the distance, an eight-legged horse ran like the wind, and riding it was an old man wearing an eyepatch.

In less than a minute, the horse stopped a few meters away from her and neighed in greeting. "Grandpa," Stella said with a smile on her face. "Have you come to pick me up?"

"No," Stella's Grandpa, who went by the name James, replied. "But I missed you, so I came to see you before I picked up the two troublemakers."

Stella giggled because she already knew the identity of the two troublemakers.

Her little sisters, Maple and Cinnamon, had a habit of running away from home.

If not for the fact that they would always return safe and sound and that James could instantly find their location, their parents might have already fallen into depression due to worry.

"Where are they now?" Stella asked.

"In the Rigel Continent with Zion Leventis," James replied.

"... What?" Stella blanked out for a moment.

She didn't know that her sisters were acquainted with the Supreme Commander of the Alliance, who were sent in the same place as her during her First Wandering.

"This is the second time that Maple and Cinnamon met him," James stated. "Last time, they were with him until the Night of the Fireflies."

The Night of the Fireflies was a yearly event where people gathered to light flying lanterns with messages for their loved ones.

These lanterns would then be sent by Laplace Demon and The One to Solterra, so they could reach the people who were intended to see the messages of their loved ones.

"Are you going to pick them up now?" Stella inquired.

James nodded. "Chiffon is getting worried about them, so I came to pick them up."

Stella thought for a while before looking at her Grandpa with a determined look on her face. "Grandpa, can you take me to them as well, please?" Stella said.

"Why not?" James said as he reached out his hand toward his granddaughter so that she could hop onto the back of his mount.

Half a minute later, the eight-legged horse soared toward the sky and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Rigel Continent...

Maple and Cinnamon, who had been in the Rigel Continent for a week, both gazed at the North at the same time.

It was as if he was meeting an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a very long time. However, James knew that he had many old friends whom he hadn't met for a long time who were all scattered in the multiverse.

Since that was the case, he decided to form a good relationship with the teenage boy. Not to mention, he had a feeling that his two granddaughters would come to see him again.

"Bye bye, everyone!" Maple said while waving at the people who had taken good care of her

and her sister.

"Cinnamon will see you again later!" Cinnamon also waved her hand.

The two girls then walked toward their Grandpa, allowing the old man to lift them up and place them on the back of the eight-legged horse.

This was the first time that the Wanderers were seeing an eight-legged horse, and they thought that it was only an Avatar that belonged to the Old Man.

"Stella, aren't you going to go with us?" James asked as he mounted the horse's back with

Maple and Cinnamon in front of him.

"I'll stay here, Grandpa," Stella replied. "Please send my regards to mother and father."

James nodded before urging his horse to run.

A moment later, the horse ran to the north before disappearing completely.

"You have good sisters," Thirteen said as he shifted his gaze to Stella. "Aside from being troublemakers, they are indeed my beloved sisters," Stella replied.

She then glanced at the people that were in the vicinity and looked at them with great interest.

"Are you perhaps training them?" Stella asked.

"Mmm," Thirteen hummed in reply.

"Can I join?"

"I'll only allow it because Maple and Cinnamon are good girls."

Thirteen originally didn't want to help train Stella because she was a True Hero.

However, since he and the two adorable girls got along really well, he decided to make an exception and treat her a little better than before.

"I don't want to hear any complaints from you, okay?" Thirteen warned. "My training is

harsh."

"I understand." Stella nodded. "I will not complain as long as you give me proper guidance."

A faint smile appeared on the teenage boy's face as he thought of the many ways on how he could make Stella suffer in his training regimen.

Since she wanted to join their training, how could he possibly reject such an enticing offer?

After all, this would give him the perfect opportunity to know more about Stella's abilities and current fighting prowess.

Also, he had a feeling that because of her presence, the people that he was training would sense a feeling of rivalry and competitiveness, which would make them improve faster in their hellish training.
