Otherworld Adventure 320 A Normal Day

Luca, Angelia, and her friends had already returned before them because the two took a while to find the materials they needed. After they arrived back at the estate, the duo quickly took a shower and began preparing to spend the night in their small workshop.

Cecil had already received permission from his wives to spend a few days crafting the teleportation gate, but when he arrived inside the small workshop in the wagon. He felt that it was a little inadequate. There was no way he and Ren would be able to build the large parts of the gate inside their tiny workshop.

The two quickly exited from the workshop and Cecil told Ren to rest for the night. He decided that they'd begin their activities tomorrow instead. Cecil himself went to his parents and asked for permission to build a workshop on their family's lands.

He naturally got permission so he quickly set off into the mountains that very night and began looking for a sizeable chunk of rock to create his new workshop from. Cecil couldn't find one so he instead lopped off one of the mountain peaks and lifted the large piece of earth over to his family's lands.

He found an empty area on the plateau that was farthest away from the family's main mansion and slowly let down the chopped off mountain peak.

Cecil was lucky that the loud thud didn't wake anyone up. He immediately began carving out runes and magic circles on the large piece of rock. He worked throughout the night and was able to finish the final runes of the large magic circle he created.

"Alright, now all I need to do is activate it!"

"C-Cecil?! What's that?!"

Cecil immediately turned around when he heard his mother's voice. He saw not only his mother but his father, as well as the rest of his family, were also there.

"Good Morning!"

"Don't 'good morning' me, mister! Explain! Why did such a large...rock suddenly appear on our family's grounds?!"

"I...brought it here?"

"..." Anastasia only looked back at her son with an incredulous expression.

Cecil grinned and said, "I did tell you I was going to make a workshop yesterday, now watch. I'm going to create it by molding this large mountain peak I took!"

"M-Mountain peak?"

Ren immediately rushed forward and observed the incredibly large and complex magic circle before exclaiming, "I-Is this the magic circle for Stronghold?!"

Cecil patted Ren's head and praised, "Hehe, that's correct Ren. If you've managed to memorize this then you'll be close to graduating!"

"O-Okay...but I don't think I'd be able to create this magic circle...let alone activate it..."

"Hmmm... well, this is a high-ranked earth magic spell...but if you train you'll be able to do it one day! Now stand back, I'll be activating it now!"

Cecil placed his palm on top of the magic circle he had set up and began pouring his mana into the circle. After receiving his mana, the magic circle began activating. The light from the large circle attracted even the people from the city. They all wondered what the Silvarias were up to so early in the morning.

Lucia was still a little drowsy when she came out. She rubbed her eyes and drowsily said, "Huaahhh, Cel is doing something absurd, right?"

"Oh, Lulu, you're up? You could have continued sleeping. And yes, it's just darling doing something absurd as usual. It's nothing new for us."

"Hrmmm... earth magic? Is Cel using a high-ranked earth spell?"

"I think Ren said it was Stronghold," Serilla replied before taking out a blanket and wrapping it around the still drowsy Lucia.

"Huaahh... Cel can use every single elemental spell once he's seen their magic formation... it's such a cheat..."

"Well, not just anyone could use his casting method."

"I tried...and failed miserably. It's hard because you can't make a mistake while writing out the runes and creating the spell circle. Even when I used Hyper Sensitivity, it was still hard because I sometimes get fl.u.s.tered and forget what rune to write next..."

"Well...switching Hyper Sensitivity on and off isn't a pleasant thing to do... even I still find it dizzying when I'm the one who uses more than you do, Lulu. Only darling can effectively use Hyper Sensitivity like that!"

"Cel's just weird! Seri, make sure to raise your baby properly, don't let him/her turn into a weirdo like Cel!"

"Hahaha, okay Lulu~"

While they were talking, Cecil's magic spell had finally finished activating and soon, the large chunk of rock was replaced by a grayish-white building.

"Phew...that took a while," Cecil said as he stood up. He turned towards his family and exclaimed, "Tadaaa, it's my new workshop!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Everyone in the family only looked at the new building that had suddenly popped up out of nowhere, turned around, and walked back into the main mansion.

"It's just Cecil being Cecil, nothing new," Matheus said.

"I wanna sleep..." Gabriel said before finding a clean spot in the garden and falling asleep. Luca had to drag his a.s.s back into the house after his mother told him to.

Kaiser only nodded at his son and told him to come to the dojo for morning training before he left.

Only Lucia, Serilla, Ren, and Angelia were left behind and they were clapping.

"Good job, Teacher!"

"That's so cool big bro!"

"Alright darling, let's go back inside and have breakfast, alright?"

"Do you want pancakes, Cel?"

"..."

Cecil was left standing in front of his new workshop awkwardly. He was hoping to impress his family, but it seemed that all the absurd things he's done previously have already made his family immune to it.

"Jeez... I thought they'd be impressed! Was all the stuff we did during the journey to and from Regulus that amazing?"

The girls shrugged at his question. How would they know? Cecil's 'normal' was obviously different from other people's normal. On the journey to Regulus, Cecil had displayed his absurd combat prowess and the odd conveniences he kept on pulling out of his wagon and spatial ring.

Making a new building appear out of nowhere was no longer anything new because he did create a small settlement for the travel group during the times they spent resting out on the road. He didn't use earth magic, but instead his plant manipulation to create small huts for the people to rest in.

Fatima had probably informed Cecil's other siblings while his father had told his mother about it so they were hardly surprised.

"Let's head in for breakfast, darling! Also, you need a bath!"

"Cel, come bathe with me before breakfast... I'm still a little sleepy so please scrub my back..."

Seeing how drowsy Lucia was, Cecil picked her up and said, ��Okay."

"We can all go in together~" Serilla said as she happily clung onto her husband.

The happy trio immediately walked back towards the mansion and left behind Ren and Angelia.

"Are those 3 always like that?" Angelia couldn't help but ask after seeing how lovey-dovey her brother and his wives were being so early in the morning.

"More or less... it was the same during our travels so it's nothing new to me," Ren replied. He walked into the workshop and began exploring the inside. Angelia only reminded him about breakfast before making her way back to the mansion.

Right after breakfast and morning training with his father and the family's disciples, Cecil went back to the new workshop he just built, and with Quinn's help began moving the equipment inside his small workshop into the newly built one. There wasn't much to move so they were able to finish quickly.

Ren had to go to school with Angelia today so Cecil didn't begin creating the teleportation gate just yet. Instead, he started preparing the materials needed for the crafting and artificing process.

He also told Quinn to inform his father that he would be roaming around the kingdom later to look for people that might have the potential to become an artificer. His father's reply was to just go to the kingdom's school and find young prospects there.

"Hmm... it would be easier to just hire some artificers but that's impossible. I won't let just anybody see the process of teleportation gate crafting."

Cecil had already let Lucia's mother, Anna, know about his intentions of creating a teleportation gate so that he could bring them over. Anna agreed to it, but she needed to inform the Anglaria King about it.

After she's gotten permission from the king, only then would she be able to continue the project. Cecil still hadn't received a favorable reply from Anna, but he had already decided to gather up the materials for the teleportation gate.

If he had to, he'd just create a one-time use gate and bring over Lucia and Serilla's families before destroying it after he's sent them back to Anglaria. Right after he finished preparing all the materials for the teleportation gate, Cecil locked up the workshop and roamed around the city for a bit.

He was surprised to see that the houses and the roads were very close to the ones from Earth. He checked out the city as well as the entirety of the valley. Cecil was impressed because the living conditions of the citizens were splendid. It was a great contrast to the other powers he's pa.s.sed through in his journey.

Unlike the other powers, his kingdom didn't have any areas that resembled the slums or a district with poor living conditions. The welfare of the people was greatly taken care of and everyone had enough food to eat, clothing to wear, and a house to live in.

The streets were clean and there were no dirt roads within the city. They were either paved or bricked. The city was bustling with activity and the bright atmosphere uplifted Cecil's mood.

He continued roaming around for the whole day before coming back to his family's estate and started working on the teleportation gate's parts with Ren. Cecil had also found out that Lucia had somehow become a teacher at Angelia and Ren's school.

Ren was surprised when Lucia had suddenly appeared in cla.s.s and began teaching them about magic. When Cecil questioned his wife afterward, Lucia replied that Fatima was the one who suggested it to her.

Rather than just training and sometimes idling around, it was better if she put her abilities to use and help the younger generation by teaching them. Although none of the Earthlings could use elemental magic, it wouldn't hurt for them if they learned about the elemental magic system anyways.

It was better to know about it than remain oblivious to it. Cecil found it quite amusing that Lucia went back to school. Of course, this time, not as a student but as an instructor.
