Another Side Of The Universe

Chapter 97 : Caligo

After a few days, the day to leave Sveratis came. 

“I’ll be sure to put up as many good words so the Admiral doesn't punish you too hard,” said Stravenkov. 

“Thanks. That would be very very cool,” said Ramenman. He rushed back to the ship. 

Stravenkov gives Kaizo a handshake. “Safe journey. I hope you reach Astraeus station with no trouble,” said Stravenkov. 

“Thank you, your Highness,” Kaizo replied. He nodded to Axion and they entered the ship. 

“Axion!” Stravenkov called.

Both Kaizo and Axion look back at him.

“If you would… Would you like to have dinner with me again... sometime in the future?” Stravenkov asked. 

Kaizo frowned.

Axion smiled. “That would be delightful,” she replied. 

A big smile filled Stravenkov’s face. He steps away, letting the spaceship close its door and take off. 

“She’s good,” said the Queen. “I think you both would be a good match.”

“I agree. Not only is she skilled, but she’s also smart,” said Tirion. 

Stravenkov’s face turned red. “M-Mom! What are you thinking? I-it’s nothing like that!”

“Child, I’m your mother. I know things about you more than you do. Besides, isn’t it time for you to find a wife?” said the Queen. 

“M-MOM!” Stravenkov exclaimed. 

“Her Majesty is right. The Kingdom would need a future Queen,” said Tirion. 

“Hey! Not you too….”

“And I might as well find someone good for Virion,” said Tirion. 

“Now don’t drag me into this. I’m not marrying anyone,” Virion protested. 

They laugh as the Astrum spaceship slowly disappears in the sky. 

“Course is set. We’ll be reaching Astraeus station in a few weeks,” said Rum as she checked the monitor. 

“Oh, can we stop by the star market on the way?” Ramenman asks. 

“No. Admiral Maskmana clearly said to get back soon,” said Kaizo. 

“Tch. You’re petty,” said Ramenman. 

Kaizo let out a sigh. “Didn’t you stock up on a lot of cup noodles already?” 

“Yes, but it will only last for a week. I need to stock more,” said Ramenman. 

“Hmph. Ridiculous” Kaizo mocked. 

Suddenly, Axion came. 

“Hey, can we stop by the star market?” Axion asked. 

“Yes, why?” Rum asked. 

“Wait, so it’s okay if Axion is the one who asked?” said Ramenman. But they ignored him. 

“I got a permit from the Admiral,” said Axion as she handed over her tablet to Kaizo. 

“What do you need from the star market?” Kaizo asked as he read the permit. 

“Personal stuff. And maybe a moment of personal space,” said Axion.

“Fine. We'll stop by the star market. Whatever you need from there, get it quickly,” said Kaizo as he returned her tablet. 

“Oh, my stuff is going to take a while. So I’m not coming back with you. You’re dropping me off at star market,” said Axion.
