Chapter 28: Naturally

The plan to hand over the cake to Zoe and go home quickly to spend time with Set was already gone when Zoe brought me here.

But it would be a lie if I didn’t think that she would take me back home.

But looking at Zoe’s actions now, I kept thinking if I could go home.

It’s clear that Zoe dropped me off in this place that I’ve never seen before, but I don’t know why I’m in a situation where I have to worry about how to get back home.

Or maybe my destiny was going to be like this from the moment I first met Zoe.

While thinking about how to get back home safely and quickly from this situation, Zoe, the culprit of all this, is teasing Sol over there.

“Space puppy? Don’t you want to play hide-and-seek? It’ll be really fun! It will be fun!”

“Ugh, once I get liberated, I’ll enjoy that second.”

She clearly said she would enjoy it, but it must have been my delusion that it sounded like she was going to kill me.

Zoe, who maintains a consistent attitude without being intimidated at all, even though she is an Aspect, seems to be called legendary in another sense.

Zoe, who was fed up with Sol’s not-so-funny prank, made an expression as if she had just thought of something and opened a portal above her head.

Just when I thought she was finally thinking of me and was going to send me back home, Zoe continued to play pranks on Sol as if it were impossible.

“Ah, that’s right~! Space puppy, I brought you a gift from over there~ Come on, go get it!”

“That’s really insulting… Those are my asteroids!!! This guy…!!!”

I thought that both Zoe, who was playing such pranks, and Sol, who was responding to those pranks one by one, were really amazing in some ways.

“I guess Zoe is the ‘creator of stars’ now, seeing how she keeps playing around with Sol like he’s a pet dragon.”

But if I keep staying like this, I don’t know what will happen to Set left alone at home, so I have to go back as soon as possible.

I had no choice but to decide to use the forbidden means that I didn’t want to use if possible.

Take a deep breath and calm down.

This is all for Set.

I shouted loudly to Zoe, who was one of the two creatures pulling aggro by showing off that thing in the sky above.

“Zoe!!! If you don’t come here right now and return me to where I was, I won’t make you a cake even if you come to find me in the future!!!!!”

“What! Whyyyyy!!! That’s not allowed! That was my only joy these days!”

When I used the forbidden means that I didn’t want to use, threatening the child with food like an adult, Zoe finally stopped playing pranks on Sol and came down to where I was.

I was glad that Zoe didn’t completely erase me from her consciousness, and when I talked about Set who was waiting for me at home now, Zoe also didn’t want to admit it but understood, so she opened a portal to send me home.

Still, she seemed to have some regrets, so she said that she would call me to this place again next time.

I strongly refused that and only managed to stop her after promising that I would put something more special in the cake I would make next time.

Just as I was about to enter the portal, Aurelion Sol blocked Zoe’s ears and told me to wait a moment.

Oh, I thought I was finally going home, but it seemed that Sol had something left to say to me.

“It’s really amazing that you can handle that Zoe. I can’t believe that being is a mortal. Why don’t we make a deal? If you come here again and make Zoe shut up, oops mistake. make her quiet, I will think about erasing this Runeterra again. This guy seems to keep following me around and bothering me regardless of what happens to Runeterra. How about it, will you accept it?”

There’s no way.

I accepted Sol’s offer without any hesitation.

This reduced one of my worries about having to leave Runeterra and find another planet.

Thank you, Zoe.

Sometimes you are helpful too.

From now on, I will mark you directly.

You shouldn’t think about playing pranks on that great person.

Of course, I kept this thought in my heart without saying it out loud.

Today I saved this world from the end.

Without anyone knowing this fact.

I asked Sol if he would really keep that promise in order to get his confirmation.

“Of course.”

Zoe, how much did you bother Sol that he would give up his revenge on Targon, who tried to tame him, and ask you to stop him instead…

While saying words of comfort to Sol in my heart, I was finally able to return to our home where Set is.

When I passed through the portal, the first thing that caught my eye was the front door of our house, which I was now used to.

It seems that Set is sleeping because I can’t hear any sound from inside.

I was worried that he might be surprised and cry because I wasn’t there, but I was so glad.

Now I have to go inside and finish all the things I have to do before going to sleep.

I grabbed the doorknob to go inside the house.

But clearly a little force is needed for the door to open, but as soon as I pulled it, the door opened right away.

There’s no way I came out without locking the door.

I clearly checked twice before leaving the house to deliver the cake to Zoe.

Then the remaining possibility is…

As soon as that possibility came to my mind, I kicked the door open and quickly entered the house.

Set, I have to check if Set is safe first.

The old woman and Riven haven’t finished working in the fields yet at this time, so as long as I don’t know who came into the house, I don’t know what might have happened to Set.

I rushed to the room where Set was.

It only took about 1 second to arrive outside the door, but I couldn’t rest assured until I saw Set’s safety with my own eyes.

I opened the door and checked inside, and Set was sleeping soundly.

Fortunately, nothing seemed to have happened to Set.

Then the problem was who came into our house.

If Set is not the purpose, then it is me or the things in the house that are the purpose, but strangely, I couldn’t find any traces of anyone having been in the house.

Then I started to doubt if I really left without locking the door, and then a woman lying on the floor next to the bed where Set was caught my eye.

It seems that I didn’t find this first because I was too preoccupied about Set.

When I got closer and looked closely, she had ears on her head like me and even a tail on her butt, so it seemed that she was a Vastaya of a different race from me.

While I was thinking about why an unknown Vastaya was collapsed in our house, I felt movement from that woman.

I didn’t know what to do, so I kept my distance and watched, but suddenly that woman started talking.

“Heeuung (Whimper). Mama, open the door…”

What the f*ck is this?!?!!?
