Chapter 351: Chatter in the Hospital
A few hours had passed since the strange woman’s voice reverberated across the entire planet.
In that time, Kaiden and the girls found themselves transported to the nearest awakened hospital. They didn’t suffer any serious wounds, but it was thought by the arriving governmental agents that they’d best get checked out.
The spacious room they received inside the awakened hospital was a big step up, even compared to the room Kaiden got after beating David Bennett, back during his first-ever duel. It was even better than what Nyx and Aria enjoyed when they suffered serious wounds in the undead dungeon.
It felt as if their status got upgraded all of a sudden in the government’s eyes.
A large, OLED television screen glowed in front of them, playing a comedy show they were watching while barely paying any attention to it; it was mostly just background noise.
Kaiden sat sunk into the couch, shoulders finally at ease and arms draped over the backs of his girls. All four of them were near him, relaxing in their own ways.
Nyx leaned into his left side, sipping on her strawberry milkshake with the slow contentment of someone who felt she had earned every drop. She was visibly very satisfied with her performance. Her cheek rested lightly against his shoulder.
On his right, Aria unwrapped a protein bar while softly nuzzling her head against the arm behind her. She was crunching into the bar with her usual vigor while stretching her legs out in front of her. The girl looked like she had a lot of energy left to spare.
Behind them, Bastet lay stretched across the backrest of the couch while using her tail to playfully nudge Kaiden’s head. The Solar Empress’s body was languid as though she had claimed the best spot all to herself. At the same time, she was licking an ice cream with feline grace with a self-satisfied purr that vibrated.
Between Kaiden’s legs, Luna sat cross-legged on the floor with a massive bowl of popcorn nestled against her lap. She leaned back against him, resting her head on his crotch as though it were the most natural pillow in the world. Her commentary sounded every now and then at the comedy show on the TV, mingling with the occasional crunch of popcorn between her teeth.
