Heaven, Earth, Me 2 (GL)

Chapter 370. Future plans. Talking about Ebirah's situation.

Yasenia nodded. "That's nice. Next time, I'll also join. Today I wanted to rest a bit."

They smiled excitedly.

Yasenia was very sharp in many things and had given new perspectives on things more than once. Not only that, Yasenia's knowledge in one specific profession might be lower than theirs, but she had the advantage of having studied plenty of them.

Naturally, she wasn't an all-knowing genius. However, now that she probably could also do professions herself, Yasenia was about to learn much faster. Acquiring theoretical knowledge and practical knowledge was very different, after all. You needed both as long as you wanted to innovate in a field.

Yasenia was curious, so she asked a little more in-depth. "How much stronger would you estimate the final result if we use transmuted items instead of common ones? Are they easier to work with? Or are they more unstable than common materials?"

Evelyn answered. "We've calculated it will be from two to ten times better. Even then, we've just estimated some quick numbers, so we can't tell for sure. As we explained before, we are still quite novices with transmutation. Therefore, things will most likely get better in the future."

Evelyn frowned. "We also don't want to say anything about stability while creating items since we still haven't even used them. "

Yasenia commented with a languid voice. "Well, it's true that we rush these things. Even then, in the future, we can create a shop that focuses on quality instead of quantity. That way, getting acquainted with powerful people will be easier. Moreover, it will be much more manageable than creating tens of thousands of items to meet a demand for common cultivators."

They felt that it was a good idea.

Andrea suggested. "That's a good way of development. We should think of a plan and how to create a stable foundation. We don't want our goods to be coveted by strong powers and snatched away."

Yasenia understood that. "I have some ideas, let me give them a little bit more thought, and I'll tell you in the future. For now, there is one relatively important thing we have to decide."

They looked at Yasenia as she said the following. "We've got two options now."

"We buy some supplies and sell most of our low-level items in this city. Then, we rush toward Ebirah's place and start our shop there."

"The other option is to create a shop in this city, and after we gain a foothold, we meet with Ebirah's factions. We'll have a sturdier foundation, but I can guess that it won't be enough to face her Race. So, if they decide we've been keeping her kidnapped with us because we took too long to get her back, we'll get in trouble."

Yasenia looked at Ebirah and said. "Of course, we have a third option. We can also leave Ebirah with her parents and then pick her up later, but I'm sure neither Andrea nor Ebirah wants that, right?"

Ebirah used her six legs and two pincers to latch around Andrea and exclaimed, "I don't want to separate from Andrea! She is the only friend that treats me so well..."

Andrea said. "Let's go for your second suggestion. We can also modify it along the way and make a letter for them if we really need to make it known that Ebirah is okay."

The others didn't know a lot, but Andrea knew that Ebirah, although she was a princess, she was pretty lonely. Her parents choose their friends for her, afraid she would be kidnapped or damaged. Therefore, Ebirah hasn't felt the company of a real friend before meeting with Andrea.

Moreover, the way everyone treated her nicely, but without restricting her, was very liberating for the spoiled princess. If it weren't because the portal for the Secret Realm appeared in one of her excursions outside, and she slipped out of the guards' supervision to enter it curiously, she would've probably grown up into a sheltered and spoiled princess.

Andrea laughed softly and caressed her between the eyes. "Don't worry, little one. If you don't want to leave my side, I'll keep you by my side. We are best friends, remember?"

Ebirah exclaimed, and her body became soft. She liked Andrea's caresses between her eyes. It felt comforting. So much so that she thought her shell was about to fall off her back. Moreover, Andrea's words also made her feel a lot of affection for Andrea, not in a romantic way, but more like a family member.

Therefore, with some happy lobster noises as a background, Andrea spoke. "I think it is best if we gain a foothold first. That way, the backlash will be smaller when her parents learn about our contract. After realizing how strong the hate against humans is in this World, it has become too difficult not to think about the worst outcome. However, if we have enough influence, we can convince them."

Yasenia mercilessly popped that thought. "Darling, I don't want you or little Ebirah to be delusional, so I'll say this quite bluntly."

Andrea looked at Yasenia.

"This country hates humans, and they don't do it lightly. The slave circumstances of Humans in this World are almost worse than the Beast-humans in the Demonic side of the Sky Continent."

"Moreover, Ebirah's parents appear to be big shots, so they can't be weak, and most probably, they are seniors of the anti-human generation. Therefore, even if we are the strongest, they will always be against your contract with her. You must realize that, although its name is blood contract, the result isn't much different from a slave contract."

Andrea frowned and then sighed. She looked at Ebirah's pearly black eyes and saw that the little princess didn't understand what they had just said deeply.

Ebirah used her pincers to move Andrea's hand between her eyes again, and Andrea gladly caressed her between them. Ebirah made strange, happy lobster noises again, and her long, thin legs latched around Andrea.

Andrea smiled a little and said, "You are right. I shouldn't try to avoid inevitable trouble but face it. However, what can we do?"

Yasenia jumped from their lap and walked to Andrea's side. She sat before her and smirked. "That's not something we can think about now. We are strangers to how this World works, so we have to first meld with its customs and understand its culture. Only then will we be able to play the right cards. Thinking about it now is the same as thinking about what to do if the Moon suddenly disappeared."

Andrea smirked and placed Ebirah to the side.

Then, she picked the dragoness between her arms, making her lay on top of her. Andrea kissed Yesenia's mouth and asked. "So, what do we do now?"

Yasenia's mouth arched as she said, licking Andrea's lips softly. "How about going to bed? Roll a bit on the sheets, and think about it tomorrow?"

Andrea looked at the beautiful reptile between her arms, and her smile deepened. Her light green eyes looked into the coquettish golden eyes, and her arms tightened around the creature. "Sure, let's go."

Then, Andrea stood up and walked away, carrying the dragoness up the stairs. The others raised their eyebrows, and Evelyn's smile widened. 'Finally!'

Ebirah looked at the rest and asked, "Can I go up with them?"

They couldn't help but choke and cough. Then, their gazes landed on the 100% crustacean, and they couldn't help but think of strange things.

Cecile asked curiously, her face a little odd. "Do you think Andrea would be tolerant enough to...? You know, if things end up going in that direction..."

Evelyn shrugged, "Do lobsters even do it that way? I don't know the biology behind it, to be honest."

Kali sighed, "Girls, Ebirah is still a child."

Tatyana chuckled, "And so are Yasenia and Cecile if you look at them like a Dragon and a Phoenix."

Their faces became strange. They couldn't refute it!

Tatyana looked at the confused Ebirah and said, "You can't go with them yet."

Evelyn raised her eyebrow, "Yet?"

Tatyana shrugged, "Who knows how Andrea's feelings will change? She seems very fond of the little lobster. However, that's something for the far future."
