Chapter 425 Risea(Chapter preview)
"Risea?" Kai's voice suddenly echoed through the hall but no reply came back.
He was currently standing in the place where Risea used to hide and live in the past. It was also the first place where he had meet her and the two of them had gotten close to each other.
That had been a turning point for both their lives as Kai wondered whether Risea would have returned to such a position again.
He looked around the entire place once again while walking through the hall but didn't find anyone. His connection with Risea however pointed him towards the place he was currently in.
'Damn I am stupid. Risea must be in the alchemy room…' Kai thought while facepalming as he wondered how he had forgotten such a thing.
Kai made his way to the alchemy rooms as he slowly peeked inside. His eyes fell on a pink haired cute loli working over the alchemy pots.
Kai felt a nostalgic feeling spreading throughout his body as he remembered how he used to peek in on Risea when she had been practicing in the past.
That feeling was extremely refreshing for him as with a deep breath, he stepped inside.
"Can you teach me that?" He asked aloud, copying the same curious tone he had used numerous times in the past.
For a moment, Risea froze in place as she looked at Kai from head to toe. She then hurriedly took out a pill from the space ring at her hand? and swallowed it down her throat.
Kai could immediately tell that the pill she had eaten was to get the mind rid of illusions or sometimes, it was given to a depressed person.
"Ha…" Kai sighed while walking further inside the alchemy room. "To think that none of you could believe that I was real despite how many times I had died and come back to life."
Risea's body suddenly froze as Kai appeared in front of her and tapped her forehead with his index finger.
The loli's body suddenly transformed into that of a woman in her young twenties as Risea suddenly hugged Kai's body.
Instead of what his other wives had done, Risea just stayed attached to his chest while keeping her eyes closed. Kai patted her head for comfort as the pink-haired Nephilim lifted her eyes to meet his level.
Suddenly, tears formed at the corners of her eyes before they started rolling down her cheeks. Kai blinked in surprise as Risea once again buried her face in his chest and soaked his shirt wet.
Kai felt as though he was consoling a child but then, he had been used to taking care of Risea a way that would make his other wives jealous.
But he couldn't blame anyone for it because for him, Risea was someone who didn't have that big of an age difference with him.
Both of them were extremely similar and had events that pretty much ruined their childhood to an extent that couldn't be recovered.
"So I take it that you didn't get tired of me despite my absence." Kai said in a lightly joking tone as he had no idea what he should say.
But his words seemed to have an effect on Risea as she? lifted her head again and stared into his eyes.
"Centuries of disappearance and you still don't how to make a good joke." Risa muttered as a smile appeared on Kai's face.
"But then, I never need a gook joke to make you smile so you can't blame me for not learning how to make good jokes."
"No one is listening to us right?" Risea suddenly asked as she had a feeling that if any of Kai's wives managed to get a hand on the conversation, things weren't going to turn good for them.
"My powers prevent anyone from listening on to this," He then paused and seemed to be summoning something. "I am sure that Kosma would be coming here soon so I can't say that we have that much time left for ourselves."
"Then there aren't going to be any obstructions till then. Let me start teaching you." Risea said with a small smile as Kai knew that she was trying hard to smile.
He decided to encourage her and learn from her since he was the one to ask her in the first place.
"So first, lets go with a smell test. You know what to do?" Risea asked while raising an eyebrow as Kai nodded.
He then summoned a pitch black blindfold and tied it around his eyes, knowing full well that he could see beyond it if he wanted. But to give the test, he decided to let things stay the way they were and take it without his vision.
"Ok then here we go…" Risea muttered before one by one, she started bringing items closer to Kai's nose.
He immediately told her what the items were as the smile on Risea's face widened just a bit.
"Then here is the last thing." She said after five minutes as an intoxicating fragrance suddenly entered Kai's nose.
He felt something brush the tip of his nose as the blindfold vanished from around his eyes without any warning.
Risea face directly in front of his as the tip of her nose was touching against his.
"Its your fragrance." Kai replied as the smile on Risea's face.
"Correct!" She replied before pressing her cherry red lips on top of Kai's. He slightly laid back on the chair he had sat on too take the test as Risea sat on his lap.
The tears had left mark on her face which was weird considering her powers but the moment she felt a bit of happiness creep up inside her, her face brightened up.
"Mhm…" Risea purred a little before she moved backwards and her body suddenly changed. Now she looked like a woman just about to enter her thirties meaning that she had entered her mature form.
Her hands then moved to the top side of the dress she was wearing. Slowly, she slipped the dress of her shoulders…

"Hmm, I guess Kosma isn't that quick at figuring out things. I should have realized this much earlier." Risea muttered as the two of them laid on a bed.
"Well, she is kind of slow without any clue and I am too good at hiding from overpowered entities chasing after me." Kai replied with a grin as Risea smirked.
"Now you have turned into one yourself," She replied before lowering her voice a bit. "Kai, is the? fighting part over now?"
"Yes, Risea, its completely over. There is nothing left to do except building a safe place that I always talked about. Its the end of the journey." Kai replied while staring at the ceiling.
"Then there will be nothing left to worry about…" Risea muttered as she tightly hugged Kai's waist and closed her eyes.
Though she didn't need sleep, Risea knew that she would be able to dream again. Kai let her sleep in peace as he too closed his eyes and wondered what would be the best place to build the place he had thought of.
However, he knew one thing. He wasn't going to move away as long as Risea was sleeping.
