Grandpa Universe In Multiverse

Chapter 425: Tales of Ba Sing Se

Alexander took everyone to his home in the inner wall and let them rest for the night. It was the first day of their stay in the country-sized city.

For the next day, Alexander had given money to all and told them to just have fun while he investigated the city. They all happily went out, reminding him they were still children after all.

So, he went out to see what was going around the place. Ragnarok and Dobby had also gone to their ways. Dobby was going to Iroh's shop where he worked and also help him to find a new shop to buy. Ragnarok went with Chomei and Azula.

Alexander while roaming around noticed that he was being continuously followed. So, he changed his attire and face. Now he looked like an eastern martial artist monk. His looks really went well with the area he was in.

He now did a reverse and instead started following the Dai Li around, to see what they usually did. And he did not like it.

He soon found out that they had their own hidden headquarters where they did lots of brainwashing on people. Telling them that everything is okay, there is no war happening outside.

~Hmm, my instincts say that the king doesn't know about the war. Huh, what a worthless king, but again, all decision making people in this world have disappointed me till now.~ He thought and kept on looking.

He then found out that people were not allowed to talk about the war in public or else they would simply vanish. Most likely arrested by the Dai Li.

...

Middle Ring of Ba Sing Se.

The Middle Ring of Ba Sing Se contains the city's middle-class populace. Inside this ring are a vast assortment of shops and restaurants, as well as the financial district and Town Hall. Mostly middle-class people lived and roamed this place.

Chomei, Azula, and Ragnarok had come to the market to look around. He was still treating Azula although he didn't need to tickle her much now.

"Woah, this place is so big. How did they cramp all the people in here?" Chomei wondered.

Ragnarok chuckled. Chomei had not seen any modern world's city yet so he was like this. As curious as a little child.

"This city is apparently more than five thousand years old. But this is really not as magnificent as I imagined it to be," Azula haughtily said.

But Chomei ignored her and simply entered a shop. "Woaah... look at those shining glasses."

"HEY! NO DIRTY PETS ALLOWED, LEAVE THEM OUTSIDE!" The shop owner suddenly shouted.

Chomei just turned around and left. Ragnarok huffed at the shopkeeper, "Foolish man, you probably lost the wealthiest customer of your life."

Ragnarok went out to Chomei, "Why didn't you talk back, kid? He was rude."

Chomei replied in his cheerful voice, "Well, I am not human-looking so I can imagine why he talked to me like that. Besides, I know I am not the best looking of my brothers. I look weird with my beetle head and butterfly wings. I am ugly and I know it.

"Humans have always been afraid of me due to this. Many even thought I was poisonous. But I couldn't let such things ruin my mood. So I decided to never get sad. Then I found out that if you stay happy then nothing bad happens. Since then, I became Lucky Seven Chomei. Hehe..."

Ragnarok warmly patted his head, "Who says you are ugly. You are one of the best looking and behaving of all your siblings. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. And if someone bullies you, you just tell uncle Raggy here, I will deep fry them."

"Hehe... okii." Chomei chuckled.

"Yes, you are not ugly. Your wings are one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen," Azula added.

Chomei and Ragnarok were shocked. How did the foul-mouthed girl say something so nice?

But Chomei happily started flying around her, "Hurray! Hurray! my treatment worked. Azula is good now!"

*Puchi!*

Chomei squeezed Azula's cheeks with his head, "Hehe, didn't I tell you, I am the best nurse in the world."

Azula rolled her out and looked on the other side.

Part 3: Art of Tea

Pao Family Tea House, Lower Ring of Ba Sing Se

The Lower Ring was home to the poor classes of Ba Sing Se's society and the majority of its population. During the ongoing hundred-year war, these consisted of newcomers to the city, including its multitude of refugees.

Most of the Lower Ring residents work with their hands as artisans, laborers, and craftsmen, while the rest were merchants and food vendors. Due to the impoverished state of the citizens of the Lower Ring, as well as the influx of refugees, the crime rate is significantly higher. The Lower Ring was also the most densely populated area of Ba Sing Se

"My friend, tea is like human emotions. Drinking cold can taste bad and ruin your day while drinking hot can make your day." Iroh quoted while drinking lemon ginger tea with Dobby.

"And just like humans, tea comes in many different flavors, some amazing and some not so," Dobby added.

"Hahaha... perfectly said, my friend. Okay, I am done working on my shift here. I am supposed to look around a few shops here. Would you like to join me, my friend?" Iroh asked.

"Sure, where is Zuko?" Dobby asked.

"Ah, he must be around somewhere contemplating something. The kid has been going through a lot these days. Haha, I just imagine the face of my brother these days. Both his only children are now away from him and from what it looked like, Azula hasn't contacted her home either." Iroh laughed.

"Yes, she hasn't. Anyway, this war will soon be ending. *Sigh* The world could have gotten so much better but it ended up getting worse due to this war. Seriously, humans are humans' enemies." Dobby muttered.

"Absolutely correct, my friend. I was once a foolish ambitious man too. But when I ventured into the spirit realm to look for my son, I changed. I didn't find my son but I found my peace." Iroh said.

"Oh, look, this shop looks nice. It even has some nice decorations outside. It looks clean too, and also empty." Dobby stopped on the tracks.

"But this looks expensive." Iroh contemplated.

"Most good things are usually expensive. But it won't help if we don't ask. Let's go in." Dobby encouraged.

They met the shop owner. Dobby used his magic to make the shop cost just as much money as Iroh had.

"Ah, this is exactly how much I had. I guess it's my lucky day today." Iroh happily gave the money.

But Dobby also secretly gave the owner the real amount to not be unreasonable to him. Dobby just felt like helping Iroh so he did, with no extra strings attached.

"Well, I guess I will go out to shop for some things for this shop. Do you want to join me?" Iroh asked.

Dobby felt that Iroh also had something else in mind so he declined, "No, I will go and look for what kids are doing."

Iroh then closed his new shop and went to buy a basket and some incense burners.

...

Part 4: Doctor Aang?

Saitama and Aang were looking around the whole Ba Sing Se together. They would just jump from one place to another to travel.

"Hahaha... brother Saitama, this is so fun. I feel just like when I was in the Air Temple." Aang cheered.

Saitama was also wearing a suit similar to Aang. "Yes, looking around the city is indeed fun. We have already caught 30 thieves."

"Yes, that too. Let's race to that building now. Whoever loses has to buy lunch for the other." Aang suggested.

Saitama's face turned competitively serious, "Fine by me"

"1"

"2"

"3"

"Go"

*BOOOM*

Aang was left behind dumbfounded, standing at the start line. He had not even taken his first step yet. He didn't have hair on his head but still felt like he lost some.

~Whoah, he is so fast.~
