Chapter 230: Cheerful Master Kalpas
"The Golden Garden. What do you think ♪?"
Elysia brought Kenji to a villa under Eden’s name. Having been to the Elysian Realm, she had also invited Eden and the others in this era to form the Golden Garden family.
"This is the rich woman Eden’s asset, right?"
Kenji sized it up. Although it wasn’t as luxurious as a royal palace, the building materials were all top-of-the-line.
"That’s hardly worth mentioning. And let’s forget the ’rich woman’ nickname."
Eden opened the door and looked at the two of them helplessly. She wasn’t very fond of that title. What she pursued was pure art, not money.
"My dear Eden, let me tell you..."
Elysia hugged Eden’s arm and whispered in her ear.
"Congratulations. Now, let me think... what should I give as a gift..." Eden pondered what to prepare.
Should I give the entire Fire Moth organization to Ellie’s child?
In any case, she was the one who sponsored most of Fire Moth’s research funds. Love me, love my dog. Whether it was a nephew or a niece, she liked them very much. She definitely had to give a "small" gift. If they wanted a small island, that was also possible. Anything that could be bought with money, Eden could get.
It had to be said, the soundproofing of the house was truly impeccable. The moment they entered, they could hear a very healthy, loud laugh, which was completely inaudible from outside.
"Do you feel this scorching wrath?!"
"Burn to nothing in this searing heat! Perish without a trace!"
"Suffer for your own insignificance and stupidity!"
"Regret ever appearing to block my path!"
He’s on fire. The moment Kenji heard it, he knew who it was: the cheerful big boy, Master Kalpas.
"It smells so good! Is Kalpas cooking ♪?" Elysia’s nose twitched. She could smell a passionate aroma.
Kenji walked to the kitchen doorway and glanced in. He nodded.
The kitchen is a battlefield. This saying was being displayed to its fullest extent here. Master Kalpas’s cooking skills, if placed in his world, would definitely rank at the very top.
"Kid, what do you want?"
Kalpas turned his head, his face covered by a mask, his true appearance completely hidden. This was the underlying logic of the world: the mask was Kalpas’s true body. If I used Za Warudo, I wonder if I could see his true face.
"Master Kalpas, Ellie is pregnant, so the food needs to be a bit healthier," Kenji said.
"Call me Kalpas. I understand."
Kalpas paused for a moment, turned off the fire, and then began to look up pregnancy diet guides online, his expression exceptionally serious and meticulous. He searched while taking notes in a small notebook: what she couldn’t eat, what she could eat, and what she needed to avoid.
This was his home now. He valued every member of his family. Even if Elysia was a Herrscher, a pregnancy was not something to be taken lightly.
Brother Kalpas is really so gentle. He really is... I’m crying.
Kenji secretly nodded. He seemed to have an explosive temper, but Kalpas had a gentle heart.
Look! I’ve caught another sneaky little cat.
Pardofelis, grabbed by the head and lifted up, her four limbs flailed, her tail drooped, and her body was completely off the ground.
Seriously, he doesn’t even know how to pet a cat gently. It was last time, and it’s again. Poor meow.
"Boss Kenji, let go! My head’s gonna split!" Pardo wailed. She had just gotten back from a "procurement" run and was immediately arrested.
"Little Pardo, where did you go?" Newest update provided by novel~fire~net
Kenji put her down and began to rub her cat ears. The texture was nice. This was a mogul cat.
"Ahaha, nowhere." Pardo shook her head and hissed.
Kenji lifted Pardo up again and gave her a little shake. A pile of things fell from her body.
One of Vill-V’s inventions, one of Teacher Painter’s manga, and a window with an armory label on it. A window?
The other things were one thing, but to be able to swipe a window from the armory... Pardo, you really aren’t picky.
"Eden, does the Golden Garden need a new window?" Kenji asked with a smile.
Eden was also amused. The glass in the Golden Garden was all high-strength, bulletproof glass, of a much higher grade than the one on the ground.
"So, Pardo, what did you plan to do with this?" Eden asked with a smile.
"Oh, nothing. I didn’t want any of the weapons, but a thief can’t leave empty-handed, so I uninstalled the window," Pardo said, scratching her head, her tail swaying behind her, making one want to grab it and pet it.
A thief never leaves empty. I had to take something.
As for what use this window had... she didn’t care. She just had to bring it back.
"Boss Kenji, long time no see! What have you been busy with lately?" Pardo asked with a smile. The keychain Kenji had given her last time had protected her at a critical moment, so she was very grateful for his gift. He was a good person.
"Oh, nothing much. Just capturing some gourmet food from time to time. Want some?"
Kenji took out a Mermaid’s Tear. He would capture ingredients in the Toriko world, and then visit his group members in their worlds.
"Can this be eaten?" Pardo looked at the tear, which was like a work of art, sparkling and shining. She loved shiny things the most.
"Is this an ingredient? Even the best quality gems I’ve ever seen can’t compare to this," Eden marveled after observing it.
"It can be preserved for a long time."
Kenji thought of what Streaming Light had said. Her tears had no expiration date. The one Kenji had eaten, she had kept in her chest for several hundred thousand years. For Streaming Light, who had lived for over ten billion years, a few hundred thousand years was just the length of a nap.
"Boss Kenji, let’s keep this for our collection." Pardo couldn’t bear to eat it. It was too much of a waste.
Kenji said nothing, and just took out several dozen more tears. Pardo was stunned for a moment, then immediately popped one into her mouth.
So, you should have said so earlier! I thought it was very rare!
"Meow~ So delicious!"
A cat’s cry was heard. Pardo’s tail instantly went ramrod straight, then began to spin in circles behind her like a fan.
Kenji glanced at it. What a flexible tail.
"Pardo, your tail can do that ♪?" Elysia asked in surprise. This was the first time she had seen Pardo do this.
"Hehe, it’s just so delicious, I can’t control my body," Pardo said, scratching her head in embarrassment.
Cats love fish, let alone an ingredient as delicious as this.
Pardo gathered her "procured goods" and then slipped away. She had to go and put these things away properly.
"Ellie, have you guys been missing any... unimportant items?" Kenji asked.
The cat loved to procure goods. She would definitely start with the people around her. But it was all just insignificant little trinkets.
"We have. We all know Pardo took them, but it’s no big deal," Elysia said with a nod and a smile. Since it was Pardo’s little hobby, they didn’t mind indulging her.
A little cat... what bad intentions could she have?~
