<Rael Sutekh: Hey Karina. Howâs it been? You old yet?>
For the next couple of minutes, no reply came. Obviously, he didnât try to use any filters, and because of that, once the reply came, it was pretty damn dry.
<Karina: Youâre still alive? I thought you died since you hadnât messaged me for nearly two decades.>
<Rael Sutekh: Nah. I did disappear, but Iâd never die. Iâm too handsome to die, or something.>
<Karina: So youâve become more arrogant. What Grade are you at now? Iâve just reached Grade 7.>
What the�
Grade 7?
Wasnât Altros only Grade 2? If she was around, then why was the planet in danger to begin with? Unless she moved on? That seemed like the most likely alternative.
And it seemed like that was really the case, since Rael suddenly had a portal form in front of him.
<Karina: Iâve got some snacks prepared if you want to come over.>
Rael thought it over for a moment, then shrugged. He might as well do that, since he was a little curious about how she was holding up. Though, he did promise Gaia and Nyx that he would relax, so sadly, Rael had to compromise.
<Rael Sutekh: How about you come to me instead? My wives arenât letting me out.>
<Karina: Pfft⊠Wives? Well, well, well. If youâre so jolly with your wives, wonât I get killed on sight if I come there?>
Heh.
<Rael Sutekh: Most likely not.>
With that in mind, there was only silence for a few brief moments, when all of a sudden, a silver-haired and emerald-eyed beauty stepped through the portal. She looked much older than last time, but not in the sense of wrinkles or anything.
In fact, she just had a mature gaze to her that made Rael instantly warm up to her.
âSup,â Rael said.
As for Karina, she rubbed her forehead with a slightly pained expression, then nodded at him.
âHello. I brought some snacks.â
She pulled out a few bags of chips and then plopped them down onto the seat beside him, and sat down. She kicked her feet up on the nearby seat and relaxed.
âI shouldâve invited the others too,â she said with a sigh.
Rael raised a brow. âYou mean Asuna and Milf_GattlingGun?â
She hummed. âYep. Asuna just got married not too long ago. As for the milf, she was just exploring the world with her kid. I havenât talked to her in ages as well.â
âAnd you?â Rael asked.
âMe? Well, I stuck around my world for a bit until I got bored. Then I went ahead and switched to another world and became powerful. Now, Iâm bored again,â she replied and let out a sigh. âThough itâs hard to believe so many years have passed. The stronger we get, the less we feel the passage of time. Donât you agree?â
Rael rolled his eyes. âIâm not used to you talking philosophically. Just how old are you now? Three digits?â
She glanced at him as though she wanted to slap the shit out of him. Even though women age and reach thousands, it seems like they still care about their age to some extent. Rael found that a little funny, in all honesty.
Anyhow, the two of them chatted about some mundane things and began feasting on some food while also watching a movie. After a couple dozen minutes went by, more food arrived, and while he wasnât sure what he was expecting, he most definitely didnât expect Gaia to bring some vegan food over.
Grass, tomatoes, cucumbers⊠A lot of other vegetables and even some fruit. On the other hand, Nyx was a lot more providing. She brought a whole pork loin as well as a couple dozen tomahawk steaks. His mouth almost watered from the smell.
Though, things took a little bit of a turn when the women noticed Karina right beside him.
âI wasnât expecting any guests,â Gaia said, narrowing her eyes at Karina. âYouâre the girl from before. Youâve grown a considerable amount. Both in power and in maturity. Welcome.â
As for Nyx, she didnât have much of a reaction as she put the food down and sat down behind him. As for Gaia, she sat in front of him and began feasting as well.
It was a peaceful day, all things considered. Even reuniting with Karina didnât seem that bad. However, Rael did feel like there was something he was missing, and that might be the crucial aspect of his son hating his guts.
Honestly⊠If I want to set things straight and live on, I should probably talk it out with Uriel. Abandoning him and allowing him to just live his life seems unfair⊠Sure, heâs old enough to do that, but heâs still my kid, even if not biologically.
So at the very least, Rael wanted to be neutral with Uriel. For that reason alone, he spent the next couple of hours relaxing with the others, until finally, all of the movies ended.
Gaia and Nyx began the clean-up, and as for Karina, she sighed and waved at him.
âI feel like Iâm going to vomit, so Iâll take my leave. If you ever do stuff like this again, do let me know. I have a lot of time, since my summons take care of everything.â
Rael nodded. âNo worries. Iâm a lazy bum for the most part, so Iâll keep you posted. See you later, Karina.â
Finally, she gave him one last wave and left through the portal. Once there was no one else in the theater, Rael crossed his legs and focused on Urielâs presence.
As expected, he was still living in that same world, except this time, Rael noticed a scar across Urielâs hand. It was definitely not there before, which meant it was a relatively new scar.
Was he getting bullied? Did he have a fight?
Rael pondered it over for a moment, then stood up. Without a single beat of hesitation, he opened a portal straight to Uriel and stepped through.
