Looking at the weird looking disc, Lilia frowned her brows.
“I thought you said your spatial ring was destroyed when a space rift dragged you to our plane of existence?”.
Eris nodded, “And that was the truth, I always carry this disc with me… it was a gift from my grandmother”.
As soon as Eris finished her sentence the disc changed its form and became a necklace which looked like a little metal cube, with only one of its faces marked with a rune which meant “barrier”.
Mylene’s eyes widened, “To think that you had that thing all this time… perhaps it was good that we ended up trapped in this mortal plane”, she thought.
Lilia was a bit curious about Eris’s necklace, but everyone has its own secrets and triumph cards, and since her son didn’t look interested on the thing, she just shrugged and put the subject at the back of her mind.
Eris previously scanned the other planets just in case some corrupted escaped to them, but there were no results, so officially they were exterminated, so now that the work was done it was time for the fun.
“Mylene, Eris, do you want to tag along or do you want me to take you back to the mansion?”.
“Mm?”, both Mylene and Eris were confused about Lilia’s words, but Kana helped them understand.
“Big brother reserved the whole day for us to go have some fun at the beach”.
Eris smiled at Kana, “Then if you don’t mind, I will go too, in fact I know of a good place to swim, the island where I hid my body can’t compare”.
Mylene also agreed to go with them, after being fighting and causing troubles between each other for such a long time, a good relax now that they were in a truce wouldn’t hurt.
Eris told Lilia the coordinates direction of the place she mentioned and they disappeared from the forest, this time the travel inside the dimensional tunnel was actually longer, nearly two minutes which was a sign that it they island they were going was quite far, from their previous position.
Once they reached their destination Aster agreed with Eris, the island they appeared was quite something, white sand and crystal-clear water, some green vegetation here and there and rock formations which complemented the scenery.
There was near to zero current as there was a reef near the island creating what could be considered a huge natural pool.
“I wonder if I could transport places like this to the mind space when I become strong enough”, thought Aster as he admired the beauty of this place.
No one was wearing the proper get up for a beach, so while Lilia used a barrier talisman to create an improvised changing room for the girls, Aster took out a few things from his spatial ring.
Lounge chairs, a table and of course a large grill, now that the preparations were complete, he walked behind a rock and changed into beach shorts while remaining shirtless.
“What a shame reincarnating didn’t make me a genius chef, so that I could win over some mythical creatures with my dishes”.
Rya chuckled.
“Well, technically you got two dragon girls and two book girls, even then there is still Eris and Mylene who descend from nature-oriented races”.
While Aster was chatting with Rya, the girls finished changing, when they left the barrier the scene that welcomed them was the little “camp” Aster set up for them.
“What do you say ladies, it’s a bit minimalist but I think a day at the beach, and a night admiring stars doesn’t sound too shabby right?”.
Aster’s voice caught their attention, Kana rushed towards Aster and did a little turn.
“Look big brother, I chose this swimsuit myself do you like it?”.
He looked at Kana, she was wearing a white two-piece bikini decorated with ruffles on the chest area and around her hips making a little skirt, Aster nodded and gave his verdict.
“You look cute”.
Kana smiled listening to the response she wanted, but the other girls didn’t fall behind, specially Lilia, her get up was rather simple but effective… a black micro bikini that barely covered the important things.
Aster saw her mother “modeling” for him and he smirked, “Yours also looks terrific on you mom”.
Lilia had a bright smile on her face, “Thanks darling, I was going to use heart shaped pasties, but I decided to leave that for later ♥”.
Listening to Lilia’s shamelessness, Eris and even Mylene blushed, but that also made Aster focus his attention on them, Eris was wearing a black bikini which wasn’t as showy as Lilia’s one, and she also complemented it with a violet sarong.
Mylene wore a dark brown swimsuit and a pink sarong which combined with her hair, as for Alice and Aria they used red and blue bikinis respectively.
“You all look good, now you can go ahead and play in the water while I prepare something to eat”.
Kana didn’t need to hear it twice, she dragged her mother along and entered the water, of course they previously verified that there wasn’t any dangerous spirit beast in the surroundings and everything was clear.
Alice and Mylene also followed them into the water, while Lilia and Eris sat on the lounge chairs to enjoy the breeze.
While Aster was lighting up the grill, Aria leaned against his shoulder.
“I have practiced cooking… so let me help you with this”.
Aster gave her a short kiss, “Of course, to be honest I was just going to apply some salt and pepper over the meat, so a girl’s touch would do no harm”.
Aria smiled, “My stomach still hurts when I remember that time you left Alice in charge of the food, so I gave myself the task of learning how to cook for my husband ♥”.
Aster laughed, his sister had many talents but cooking wasn’t one of them, up to this day he still wonders how she managed cause such an intense stomach ache when she only used edible things to prepare a meal.
While Aria took care of the seasoning, Aster looked at the girls each one having fun at their own style, Kana was swimming around with her mother and Mylene while Alice simply floated face up on the water.
Surprisingly Lilia and Eris were chatting while they leisurely laid down on the lounge chairs… or at least that was on the surface, it didn’t escape Aster how they were “unconsciously” flaunting their charms.
Aster walked towards his mother and sat at the edge of her lounge chair.
“What are you two ladies talking about?”.
Lilia smiled, she extended her hands and dragged her son closer to her so that his body was resting on top of her, with hos face buried between her breasts.
“Nothing too important, I feel a bit tired after all that travelling so you will have to comfort me darling ♥”.
Eris had a weird expression on her face, she was feeling quite curious about how these two ended up being a couple, she didn’t judge them due to that as she has seen relatives marrying to maintain their lineage, it’s not that uncommon on families with a bloodline inheritance.
The problem is that those who do that tend to keep their relationship at a carnal level, the male part looks for a woman to truly love, but out of what she has observed Aster and Lilia weren’t like that, they were so clingy that if she didn’t know they were family she would have thought they are newlyweds.
“Mm?”, Lilia which was tightly hugging her son, felt a curious gaze directed at them and she smiled.
“Eris, haven’t you heard that the curiosity killed the cat?”.
Eris cleared her throat and looked away, “I didn’t mean to offend you, if you two don’t mind could you tell me your story, like how did someone with such an outstanding bloodline ended up in a mortal plane, who is the woman whose voice we can hear but we can’t see no matter how much I try… and how did you get together like this”.
Lilia shrugged, “Unlike what you think we are all natives of this mortal plane, although I do come from a higher ranked stellar system were there are heavenly conquerors… as for how I became my darling’s lover it’s not something I can easily explain,
“Since the very moment he came to this world I loved him with all my heart, you see I developed a heart demon courtesy of my scum bag of a father and family in general, since they treated me like a mere tool for their own purposes”.
“Aster was the one that helped me overcome it, he even burned his blood of origin to cure my internal wounds… originally, I was supposed to return once he was born and hand him over to the clan so they could train him, but how could I do that to my own flesh and blood”.
Aster looked at Lilia’s lovely expression and he smiled remembering how Lilia waited for him to take the first step, even when she knew the things he was doing with Alice.
Lilia chuckled, “I guess you could say, we have been through “health and disease”, so it was only normal for us to develop a strong bond, in what regards Rya, I leave the explanation for my darling”.
Eris war marveled by their story but he felt confused about something.
“Wait, if he burned his origin blood then how come he’s got such a strong bloodline now?”,
Lilia licked her lips, “Well, once we “crossed the line” my primordial yin took care of that, but even before that he was as talented as he is right now”.
Eris felt her face burning listening to Lilia’s frank answer, “Can’t you have some delicacy”, she thought.
