Chapter 1081: Chapter 1081: Lucky
"You were here the entire time and you didn't even visit me!?"
"We have made an oath not to interfere with the doings of the mortals — I, personally, did not even know you were here."
"...Suspicious."
"I'm the one who should be suspicious, you could have visited this planet as soon as you arrived — the Margrea Oath should have already made it clear to you that I was here."
"How does that even tell me you're here!?"
"Margrea! Marleen and Grea! We are the ones who stopped the war!"
"...So, you are responsible for the multiverse dying."
"No...!"
Miss Pepondosovich and Marleen seemed to be having fun with their reunion, as both of their voices were almost being heard by everyone even though Miss Pepondosovich actually pulled Marleen away from the rest of the crowd to talk to her privately.
"But wow... you almost erased the entire multiverse and you've only just got here?" Miss Pepondosovich let out a loud groan while rolling her lips, "I have to say, nice work. Wow."
"I already said we tried to stop the war! We even asked the Higher Gods for help, but they all just went on to find their universes created by the Cosmic Piece," Marleen sighed as she placed her hands on her waist, seemingly just tired of everything, "And why are you complaining to me? Where were you!?"
"Wait, hold up - are you saying the Higher Gods weren't involved in the war?" Miss Pepondosovich squinted her eyes.
"...Why would they?" Marleen shook her head, "The very first reason the war happened was because everyone wanted a piece of the multiverse - the Higher Gods already have their own. Some tried to take it from them, but I think you know how that ended up."
"Huh... I guess—wait," Miss Pepondosovich's eyes then lit up as she looked Marleen in the eyes, "The Higher Gods have their own universes. That's right..."
"Yes. I believe I just said that. You-"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Riri! Where's Riri!?" And before Marleen could finish her words, Miss Pepondosovich just suddenly left her all alone there, with Miss Pepondosovich running around the field of crystals as she tried to search for Riley.
"Father's with Grandmother and the others in her ship," Lucy, who was busy trying to get to know everyone and currently talking to Hannah 2, was the one to answer her, "They are "
"Shut up, boy."
"W-we... we're close," Lucy quickly forced out a chuckle as he looked at Hannah 2, "Miss Pepondosovich is just merely being shy. And so, how does it feel to be real now? I heard that you were the same as I, merely a figment created by a superior being."
"I'm sorry, please don't be rash," Hannah quickly hid behind Aerith as she noticed her mother
glaring at her.
"Since you mentioned them, Sister - where are Dr. Caitlain, Miss Dee, and Alice 2?" Riley looked around the ship, "Could it be they have died?"
"No. Why would you even think that?" Hannah raised an eyebrow, "They are with Megawoman's psycho mother."
"Aha..." And as the topic suddenly and completely changed, Miss Pepondosovich could really only squint her eyes as she looked back and forth between the two, "....So the nonchalance and the tendency to just randomly change conversations run in the family, huh?"
"I'm sorry, Madam Pepondosovich," Diana sighed.
"Call her Madam Miss Pepondosovich, Mother," Riley shook his head, "Miss is her first
name."
"...Oh," Diana looked at Riley in confusion, "That's highly-"
"Miss Pepondosovich." And before the family could get off topic again, Katherine, who had just been keeping quiet and listening on the side, slightly raised her voice as she noticed Miss Pepondosovich seemingly wanting to say something, "Is... there something else you wanted
to say?"
"...Yes," Miss Pepondosovich pointed at Katherine, "Thank you, first wife."
"Oh..." Katherine's eyes widened as she subtly and instinctively glanced at Aerith, who also
subtly glanced at her for some reason.
"You mentioned you haven't found any of the Higher Gods' universes yet, kid..." Miss Pepondosovich then approached Hannah and placed her hand on her leg, "...I think that's about to change. I am going with you the next time you jump."
"Do... you have the ability to find them?"
"No," Miss Pepondosovich crossed her arms and chuckled obnoxiously, "I'm lucky."
"...Oh."
"Trust her, Sister...
...She's the god of luck."
