Chapter 47

We were strategizing till late night. Eden fell asleep at some point so we decided to stop and to go sleep.

As usual, I am sleeping on the floor and those three are occupying my bed.

When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by the moon. It's actually crescent shaped. A new moon. But why did I wake up at this hour?

The reason was actually very simple. My phone which I usually keep with me even in sleep is vibrating.

"Why is it vibrating?"

I take the phone to check the reason. It's showing me a reminder.

"Mom's birthday."

I had forgotten about the day and date but apparently, today is my mom's birthday. When did I set this reminder? Maybe at some point, I set it. So what should I do?

I turn off the reminder and get up. I am one of those types, when my sleep is interrupted, I can't fall asleep again.

I sit on the sofa and think. What should I do? I don't hold that grudge against my parents anymore. I have let go of that grudge. But my mom is already dead. Should I do something for her even if she isn't here?

I look at them. They are peacefully sleeping on the bed. Eden is as usual in the middle with Hazel and Fay on both sides.

That place looks really comfortable. Wait…why am I becoming happy? Am I becoming a pervert? Anyway, let's not wake them up. Looking at their peaceful sleeping faces, I became happy.

So, the question remains, what should I do?

(You can offer her something.)

An offering? But she isn't buried and her funeral wasn't held?

(It doesn't matter. You can offer her anything and it doesn't matter whether she had her funeral or not.)

I see. That certainly sounds good. So I should make something, right?

(You can offer her food. Which is perfect for celebrations. If you can.)

Of course I can. I can cook. Don't forget that.

I heard everything from System and went out. I am going to the poultry farm outside of the city.

I should get some chicken and eggs. Beef would be preferred but my mom didn't like beef. Milk is another thing I need. Vegetables can be found there as well.

If you are wondering why I am talking so confidently even if everything was destroyed, the answer is easy.

Don't question the plot. That's all. I said that everything is automatic. And the livestocks were not damaged. I have all the food I need.

I took a few chicken and eggs. I have the milk as well. Now where should I make it?

(Why not your place?)

"No. I will probably wake Hazel or Fay up."

(That's true. So how about your parents's house?)

"That's good. I will leisurely walk there. It's not good for the milk or eggs if I run."

(You have the singularity. Just use that.)

"I can use the singularity for something like that?"

(Yes. Tear the space and move from one place to another.)

"That's pretty handy. Should I just tear open the space or imagine?"

(It's your choice.)

I see. Then let's imagine. Tearing open something that doesn't have a body would be funny.

I imagined my parents's house and tore the space in my mind. A black tear appears.

I walk in. It's my own ability so I can't doubt myself. And I see the exit as well. I walked through the exit and arrived at my parents's home.

It's not in bad shape. Because, it wasn't affected by the attack. So the kitchen should still be available.

I enter the house and I become nostalgic. So many memories until that certain incident.

I walk through the living room. The kitchen is connected. The house is kinda dusty. Because no one has been cleaning it. Maybe I should clean the house too.

I drop off the ingredients and look for a cleaner. The vacuum cleaner is most preferable but if it's not available then anything will do.

I find a mop. The old type. This is really old school but I can't ask for more. I will be done quickly if I use my strengthening. My speed and precision will increase and the work will be flawless.

I soon get it over with. Because I have to prepare a lot of things. I have chicken so let's have chicken as the main dish. I have some fish as well. Caught 'em.

"Can I bring my parents here?"

(You can. But it will cost you some .)

"How much?"

(About 10000 for each. 20000 in total. But you have enough to spare some. I will tell you when they are ready.)

"Much appreciated."

I wanted to have a nice talk with them. Before, I could only talk to them for a while. It was only in my dreams. So I plan on talking to them. A nice candid conversation.

And how am I going bring them from the dead? Silly…I can do whatever I want. As long as I can imagine it. So I used it.

I look at the clock. Dawn will break in about an hour. The night is still dark. Probably the darkest because the moon is shining the brightest.

I start my preparations. The dishes I have in mind are all common. But I plan on baking a cake and making a pudding.

I can cook but baking and desserts are out of my reach. Never tried them. I have the necessary recipes in my phone.

After the preparations are done, I take a breather. I slump down on the sofa. It's been a while since I've felt this way.

My home where I grew up. It was a common house but to me, this has become my treasure. Before, I didn't feel this way but now I am feeling it.

Maybe that saying was right. You really do notice something after you lose it. I learnt it the hard way.

But because I was too relaxed, I dozed off before I noticed. And when I woke up, I was too terrified.
