Chapter 218: Flowers
Alex and Celia appeared in one of many cities.
His house was empty, only having a few pieces of furniture to not look too empty. It had a bed, so shelves, and a table. That was enough as Alex wouldn’t spend ti here. He also bought a small house that had just two rooms.
Celia looked around, “It’s dark!”
It was dark and empty, actually.
Alex ruffled her hair, “I won’t use this house for anything else other than teleporting. Of course, if my daughter grows up big enough and becos independent, I will help her get her own house.”
“I don’t want to leave daddy and mom’s side!” Celia’s eyes grew sadder as she thought that Alex wanted her to leave the Deathwill Castle and live independently without anyone.
She was too young to understand him, so he quickly lifted her up, apologizing, “That’s not what I an.
If you want to be with us until the end, then that’s fine as well. How about you get your own room in the Deathwill Castle? We will prepare it together, turning it into your own kingdom!” Alex smiled.
And as his words sounded like a good ga, Celia nodded, wiping her tears, “Okay!”
In a few days, Celia would get her own room. She would only spend days here, playing many gas with her wolf friends. But when the night ca, Celia would run toward her mother’s bed to sleep with her.
If Sara were gone for a mission, Celia would use her room to sleep alone. But if her mother or aunts were back ho, Celia wouldn’t even think of sleeping alone. She would run toward them and invade their beds.
Her wolf friend, Ubo, would also follow her.
Alex didn’t know about it, but he sowhat predicted such an outco already. For now, it was ti to do so shopping! Alex also promised his daughter to visit a restaurant where she could taste many new dishes unique to the city.
Celia was overjoyed, never letting his hand go as her eyes wandered around the new city, new people, and races.
Alex explained new stuff to her, answering his daughter’s all questions. He was also learning a unique knowledge about the another world’s fantasy, having a good and precious ti here.
“Daddy! This is a casual dress!” Celia pointed at one shop.
She saw many girls her age wearing the sa clothes.
Alex naturally bought her the casual dress.
He then went to the restaurant. In that place, Alex thought about his ti in the ga world and his current situation. On his side, he had Celia, who had been drinking a new tea with a smile on her face.
She also snatched cookies from her father’s plate.
‘Everyone is real… It still feels surreal… I can’t also believe it, nor do I have valid proof that the world is real… But nothing really changes, right?’ Alex recalled the first prisoner in his castle.
That man was a hungry demon. He would respawn upon death… But he was a real man nonetheless. And on his path, Alex would kill much more people, not just hungry demons. Would his psyche remain the sa now that he knew the truth about the world?
Or would he just lie to himself, thinking it was still a ga?
He whispered, ‘Now, it makes sense that I can impregnate my wives. The legendary class just breaks the current world’s limits… If this world is real, players soon will get that privilege too.
But when and what has to happen for two worlds to beco closer?’ Alex thought seriously.
Celia had been peeking at his face on his side, ‘Daddy is lost in thought. He looks so cool in this way.’
Her eyes twinkled.

“I would like to buy five flowers. Ah, but the fifth one has to be quite small. I am actually interested in these…” Alex whispered while ruffling Celia’s hair.
The shopkeeper lady stared at them with a warm smile, “Sure thing, young man! But five… You must be either a lucky boy or soone from a wealthy family.”
“I’m too lucky,” Alex faintly smiled.
Celia looked at the flowers, which were actually four roses and a daisy flower. The latter flower belonged to Celia!
Alex knelt, sneaking the flower into Celia’s hair, “It’s for you. You can put it into a glass at the end of the day.”
Celia nodded, feeling too happy that she had received a flower. She didn’t know the reason, but it felt really good to have one for herself. Was it because she liked getting presents, or was it because her father bought the flower for her?
She didn’t know. But that mattered not! Celia just smiled from the bottom of her heart, looking innocent and adorable.
The shopkeeper lady and others felt their hearts lting as they stared at the little dullahan.
Alex explained, “The gesture behind giving flowers has a peculiar magic, Celia. When you receive it from the person you love, you can’t help but feel nice. You smile on your own, your heart beats with contentnt, and you want to hug that person, don’t you?”
Celia’s little hands were already up!
Alex chuckled, “Even if those flowers wither soon, our beloved girls will rember it for an eternity.”
The shopkeeper lady sighed, “Young man! My flowers will never wither unless you cast magic on them!”
“Ah… I am sorry, then!” Alex apologized before turning his eyes to Celia. He lifted her up now that he had flowers stored in his inventory. He should’ve expected the fantasy world’s flowers to be better than Earth, at least in longevity.
He paid through the system, which was like using a debit card. He then returned to his house with Celia hugging him.
She asked, “Do I also give a flower to daddy?” She wanted to make Alex smile too.
“You have already given a flower. Your smile is a flower! And your mom and aunts will also do the sa,” Alex grinned, planting a kiss on Celia’s forehead.
She grinned, “But I want to give sothing more!”
Alex thought seriously, “You can find a male plush toy similar to Kubo!”
“Really?!” Celia’s eyes sparkled as that idea sounded the best!
Her father would play castle roleplay more with her, and she also would have more friends! The idea of buying the new plush toy always would make Celia excited!
And that was what Alex wanted, for he thought more about his family and friends than himself.
[You have returned to Deathwill Castle.]
