Chapter 281: Heading To The Third Step!
.....
Both Boundless and Calista were on the 'shorter' scale of things, being 5 '8 and 4' 10, but that was only when lined up next to the Silver foxkin.
And then there was the silver foxkin in questiona foxkin who was also the source of such a loud ruckus echoing out.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Loud footsteps sounded out wherever he went! And the reason for such a thing was because of the dozens of items he had stacked on top of him!
There were teddy bears, jewelry, ornaments, and just about anything else gimmicky you could think up!
One would think that the young girl was the one to have Azmond buy all those things, but unfortunately, that was not the case.
"..."
He took one glance at the busty, brown-eyed beauty walking beside him and couldn't help but let out an exasperated sigh.
|Hehe~| Boundless giggled in a mischievous way.
Azmond had organized this 'shopping trip' so Calista could pick out some new clothes and whatever else she wanted.
But, in the end, it turned into nothing more than yet another buying spree commenced by Boundless!
The only thing that Calista had gotten was a pair of cloud-shaped earrings and a frilly gray and white dress.
And she had worn that set of earrings and the dress every day since she got them.
He tried so many times to get her to buy more, but she was still adamant about that whole 'paying you back' thing, so all attempts at giving her more stuff were proven futile.
Which left all the other junk that Azmond carried outside the store as the handiwork of that goofy brown-haired beauty!
Calista was as reserved as could be when it came to spending his money, even after he repeatedly informed her of his immense wealth.
Boundless, on the other hand, was as shameless as could be!
Speaking of the shameless woman herself.
|Ooh! Let's go there, Calista!|
"Well I-"
Calista attempted to tell her how she wanted to stay with Azmond, but she didn't even get the chance before Boundless had already started to pull her along.
"A-Azmond"
She tried to voice a plea to him, but her soft voice fell on deaf ears as he turned in the other direction.
"He-Help me," Calista begged.
But no response ever came.
*****
BING!
Azmond put all the items Boundless bought into a storage ring after leaving Calista to fend for herself.
Which was something that brought up another topicthat topic being that Calista became the second person to be able to see Boundless!
Such a new feature was another one of the boons Azmond had gained after breaking through to the Middle Quantum Golden Core Formation Realm.
Or rather, it was a neat 'power' that pertained to his 'Main-Party Member' list, as he had gained the ability to activate the 'See Boundless ability' for all those in his 'Main-Party'.
Which essentially meant that he could choose whether or not he wanted somebody in his 'Main-Party' to see Boundless or not.
And it was such a new ability that made him decide a few days ago that he would add Calista to his 'Main-Party' and activate the 'See Boundless ability'.
Such rash actions performed by Azmond led to quite the explanation he had to give to Calista, but it all worked out in the end.
And it wasn't like it was a completely uncalled for act on his part, as it was getting quite annoying to explain himself every time he zoned out while talking to Boundless.
So if you think about it, all his menial problems were solved just like that!
...
A few more days passed by.
A few hours ago, Azmond, Boundless, Emu, and Calista had made their way over to the 'Swanson Transportation' branch in the city of Astralopolis.
They were now in one of the swan-shaped ships that were stationed on the second step, preparing for takeoff.
"I like it," Castila mumbled.
|Riding in a Swan spaceship never gets old, right, Azmond!?|
Azmond looked at what the two of them were doing to him and became a little astounded by the variation.
One lightly tugged on his robes, while the other smothered him with her milky white breasts.
The difference between how the two acted contrasted greatly.
Nonetheless, he still decided to respond:
"Indeed, riding in a spaceship is quite a surreal experience. That stands true no matter how many times you've done it." He replied to them both while calmly gazing out the window.
The City of Astralopolis was unlike the city of Cogsworth on the first step, as there were at least five Swan ships stationed on the second step.
Furthermore, there were other transportation companies situated in Astralopolis, so seeing a ship passing overhead was quite a common occurrence.
And it was because of such 'occurrences' that got Azmond thinking.
'I wonder if the spaceships are able to go into outer space. Unless they're not built for space travel, but that wouldn't make much sense'
He curiously pondered the matter of interstellar travel outside of Asterion.
'But why would the descriptions for the Anglerfants state that nothing below the Tribulation Transcendence Realm could pass through the 'Starry Seaboard'?'
Azmond had already guessed that the 'Starry Seaboard' had something to do with 'space' as it didn't take a genius to infer that the 'Starry Seaboard' was something like an entrance of sorts that led outside Asterion.
But what confused him greatly was the fact that nothing below the Tribulation Transcendence Realm could make it out of the 'Starry Seaboard' in one piece.
There was also the fact that the 'insane scientists' who 'created' the Anglerfants should've had the necessary technology to build a spaceship.
So why did it seem like that made no difference when it came to 'escaping' Asterion?
It was almost like someone or something was trapping all the people of Asterion, and they would not be able to 'break free' unless they reached the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
But understanding that only led to more unsolvable mysteries popping up for Azmond.
