Chapter 184 - 178 - You Can Talk?

Weiss stormed back into the room closing the door hard.

Ruby turned to Weiss seeing that she was upset.

"What's wrong best buddy?" Ruby asked Weiss seeing that she was angry while zipping over to her to cheer up her roommate.

*Ring Ring*

Ruby could hear her scroll ringing. She pulled it out and saw that it was Shallot. She answered the call and could see Shallot's face.

"Hi Shallot, have you made it to Atlas yet?" Ruby asked.

"I have made it to Atlas my little strawberry, but I'm currently looking around Mantle right now. I find it interesting that it is so machine-focused here." Shallot said while turning the camera to show the streets and all the lights of the city.

"It looks so... clustered," Ruby said looking at what was on her scroll while also feeling giddy that she was his strawberry.

"Weiss leaned over Ruby's shoulder looking at the image while also still being upset with Neptune.

"Nice hairstyle ice queen. It suits you and brings out your eyes better. The nice outfit also. I don't think that I've seen that one before." Shallot said seeing the change in hair and clothes.

Shallot knew that paying attention to a girl's clothes and hair was a must if you want to get along with them.

Weiss humphed taking the complement but was feeling better than someone recognized that she had on something different. She took pride in her appearance. Ruby could see the smile on Weiss's face even though she was acting like it didn't matter.

"Can you ask him to pick up some explosive dust there. I heard that they have a wider range of dust in Atlas." Blake asked from the bed.

"You've gotten pretty lazy recently," Yang said from the side.

"What do you expect. I'm pregnant. I have to make sure that our baby is born healthy." Blake said while rubbing her stomach with a smile on her face.

Weiss thought that what the others had was nice. Shallot always noticed the changes around him even when he wasn't there. Why can't Neptune notice when she changes her things. Shallot even noticed that it was something that she hadn't worn before.

"Do you know how long you are going to stay there?" Neo asked while coming out of the washroom. She could hear that they were talking to Shallot.

"Is that Neo?" Shallot asked.

The others were starring at Neo. They didn't even know that she could talk and her voice was adorable. Her voice just made them want to hug her and not let her go.

"YOU CAN TALK!?" All the girls asked while standing up.

"Uhm." Neo nodded her head.

"What! Shallot, you knew she could talk!?" Weiss asked since she never knew that Neo could talk. She thought that she was mute.

"Yeah, I've been known. There was no reason for her not to be able to speak. I always make sure that all of my girlfriends are healthy and nothing is wrong with them." Shallot said. He has to take care of those that will be his family after all.

Neo pulled her scroll out before typing.

"We know you can talk so why don't you talk," Yang asked.

Neo hit a buŧŧon multiple times then started typing again and showed the scroll to the others. It had three words.

[Tiresome and Troublesome]

Blake nodded her head in understanding. If she could lay around while having some fish with Shallot rubbing her head that would be perfect.

Weiss just starred at it while also wondering when Neo came in since she wasn't here when she walked out of the room.

"When did you come in here?" Weiss asked.

[When you left out. I was using my semblance to get past everyone so that I wouldn't be stopped by anyone.]

Neo showed her scroll to them while sitting on the bed next to Blake and pointed toward the book that Shallot had gotten for her. She was almost finished with it and wanted to know what was going to happen next.

*BOOOOOM*

The girls could hear an explosion from the front of the building.

Shallot heard the explosion over the scroll.

"Do I need to head back right now?" Shallot asked since he knows that they should be able to deal with anything that could happen right now. The only one that could have given them problems would have been Salem but she is being kept at his mancave... dungeon. She's kept at his dungeon right now.

Winter wasn't that far away from him and was watching him talking on his scroll. She hadn't seen him smile so much until after he was talking on the scroll.

"We can handle it. It's probably nothing. It could just be a food fight again." Ruby said remembering their food fight.

Shallot was ready to fly back hearing that there could be food that is being wasted instead of being eaten.

"Probably not a food fight. Probably someone fighting and might have been blasted through a wall." Blake said knowing that food being wasted would have Shallot back almost as fast as if they were in danger.

"Alright, I'll leave things to you girls. Neo and Blake can't go out though if there is a problem. I don't want anything to happen that could endanger the babies." Shallot said. The girls would be fine but he wasn't sure what high-speed movement and fighting would do to the baby.

He didn't want the babies feeling like they are in a washing machine and they get their umbilical cord tangled around them.

Blake wasn't planning on doing anything anyway while Neo thought that whatever happened to Beacon wasn't her problem, to begin with. She wasn't even a student here.

"Weiss, let's go check it out!" Ruby said while looking toward the door.

"I'm coming also. In case there are some people causing problems and I can smash their face in.." Yang said while punching her hand.
