CHAPTER 25 - AGARTHA IS ACTUALLY CRAZY

CHAPTER 25 - AGARTHA IS ACTUALLY CRAZY

I’m still alive and kicking. After that horrible incident, Lizzy and I had this intense horror chase scene that took half an hour to finish. I did my best to outrun her, hide inside the lockers, lay down under the pews, and even go behind the altar curtains.

Good thing Yufa was there to calm her down. She leads her to the shower room so that she can have a change of clothes and had her wounded forehead treated.

While Lizzy is busy taking a bath, Yufa and I went back to our jobs in repairing the warping device.

“Thanks for saving me, Yufa.” I laughed with relief.

“Hahaha! It’s nothing. Accidents like that happen.”

“Yeah, but in our case, we eat accidents for breakfast. Lizzy's forehead is like an alarm clock that explodes every morning.”

I’m finally finished in tightening the screws, and Yufa has also finished her programming stuff on the console. I went down and looked at the fruits of our labor.

“Let’s have a test run,” I said.

Yufa nodded. She pressed something on the touch screen controls and the metallic rings started to rotate around the diamond. The dark diamond at the center of the device also brightened up, giving this sky-blue color. The machinery gave off this weird future-tech noise that is used in those sci-fi movies.

Suddenly, a hologram projector opened a model of the world map in an oval form. A feminine cybernetic voice echoed throughout the hall.

“It worked!” Yufa raised both her hands and asked for a high-five. Of course, I took it with a smile on my face.

“Hoh? So this is what the Warping Device when it’s fully operational.” Lizzy said.

The princess just entered the hall, now clean and neat. She had a change of clothes, with a long black sweatshirt and a beige short skirt. It’s not only the clothes that are different but all her looks too.

It’s a complete makeover while retaining my favorite look of her; Lizzy is wearing eyeglasses. Her long black hair is tied in twin braids that flow through her chest. She’s even holding a thick encyclopedia that makes her look like the hottest bookworm you can find in a library.

Oh, there’s also this signature bandage-bandana on Lizzy’s forehead to cover her wound.

“L-Lizzy?” I blushed.

Lizzy approached me and twisted my right ear.

“Ow! Owowow!”

“Stop staring at me, you stupid donkey. You’ll get me pregnant.”

“Wooow!” Yufa clasped her hands and had her eyes full of sparkles upon seeing Lizzy’s nerd-style getup. “You look so adorable, your majesty!”

“Really?” Lizzy smiled. “I have to make a disguise so that Agarthans would never notice me. I’m a wanted criminal in my own kingdom after all.”

“That will do, Ms. Lizzy! I did not realize that it’s you at all! It’s like you’re a completely different person, but still beautiful!” Yufa cheered.

“Thanks,” Lizzy said.

After hearing Yufa’s compliment, that’s the time when Lizzy finally released my dying red ear. I think all the blood will clot in it any minute.
