Chapter 55 Strange

Strange.

[Ace POV],

After I finally succeeded in making a basic health pill with 30% purity, I continued to produce more pills throughout the night.

When I was tired, I would take a short break before continuing.

I also purchased some wooden bottles to store the pills in.

It was small, with each bottle costing four bronze coins.

I brought ten, for a total of forty bronze coins.

In addition to the two sets of materials I brought, I spent a total of 6 silver coins and 40 bronze coins, reducing my total number of coins to 48 silver coins and 87 bronze coins.

Each bottle could only hold three pills, and I could only fill five of the wooden bottles I brought.

And, despite numerous attempts, I could not produce a pill with a purity greater than 33%.

All of the materials have also been used.

I can only say that my success rate in making pills is far too low.

And because I couldn't spend all day making pills, I didn't buy another set of materials, so all I could do was pack my stuff and leave the garage.

Yes, all day, because I'm sure a new day would have arrived.

And I was proven correct when I emerged from the garage to find the sitting room lit by sun rays that had escaped the curtains.

Using my mental clock, I calculated that the time should be around eight or nine o'clock.

I spent the entire night just making pills.

Aside from that, I didn't notice Anna or Mia in the living room.

Chris was there, but he was alone and sleeping.

I was about to approach him and ask where they were when I heard a noise behind me

I quickly turned back to see what was causing the noise, and when I saw it was Anna approaching, I relaxed my guard.

And, for some reason, she was wet and dressed only in her underwear.

I stood there for a second, about to ask her a question when she let out a low scream and dashed into a nearby room with the door open.

I was perplexed by this and was about to speak when I heard her curse from the room.

Her target for cursing-me.

"Ace, you bastard, you prev! Do you enjoy looking at my body?"

Hearing this, I was baffled as to what was going on.

This reminds me of what happened after our fight with the Asmodeus Serpent.

This.......

What a violent specie of a woman.

'Do you really want me to look at your body?' 'Are you normal?'

I was so perplexed by what was going on that my thoughts unintentionally spilled out of my mouth.

Unfortunately, Anna heard what I said, and as soon as my words fell silent, I began hearing the sounds of objects being crushed in the room.

I was so puzzled by this that I had to look at Chris, who had just awoken from the sounds, to see if he understood what was going on, only to find that he, too, was confused.

"Ace," Anna called in a low tone.

When I heard it, I got chills.

It must be me hallucinating.

Thinking of this, I replied, saying;

"Yes?" I said.

"Could you please leave some clothes in front of the door for me, Mia, and Chris?" This time, she asked with a soft voice.

After hearing what she had to say, I did as she asked and left, leaving some clothes in front of the door.

Given her state, I believe she had a bath.

'Looks like the pipes are still working,' I thought as I sat down next to Chris on the sofa.

Turning to face him, I asked him a question about which I was still curious and said;

"Do you know why Anna is acting this way?" I inquired.

Hearing this, he had a hesitant expression on his face before responding, saying;

"I suspect she's in that time of the month," he stated.

I had a sudden realization when I heard this and was about to speak when I felt a touch on my shoulder.

When this happened, the chill I had felt earlier returned.

'Strange,' I thought as I turned my head back to look at Anna, who had some clothes on her shoulder and had changed into a new set of clothes, holding my shoulder with Chris' shoulder.

She was smiling, but her eyes weren't, and Chris was sweating for some reason.

She looked at Chris with a 'smile' on her face and asked him a question, saying;

"Chris darling, what time am I in?" She inquired, and as soon as she did, I heard a shout from the back.

"Sister Anna!" exclaimed the voice.

It sounded like Mia.

Hearing this, Anna let go of our shoulders and softly shouted back at Mia, saying she was coming and dragging Chris along with her.

She returned some clothes to me and held some in her hands before leaving.

I didn't know what to give her when she asked for clothes earlier, so I gave her several sets.

I'm assuming they're for Chris and Mia to change into after taking a bath.

After they left, I decided to close my eyes and rest for a while as I waited for them to return.

.......

"Ace, wake up",

Hearing my name, I slowly opened my eyes, and when I saw Mia and Chris dressed in new clothes, I realized I had slept off.

Anna spoke to me with her hand on her nose before I could say anything.

"I don't know what you've been doing in the garage, but you stink," she said, adding, "Go take a bath."

I was about to refuse that there was no need, but since I felt uncomfortable and decided to take a bath.

I confirmed that the pipes were still operational at least.

..........

I felt refreshed after taking a bath, equipping myself with the twin blades, and changing into new clothes.

After a brief conversation with Anna, I made my way out of the building with the rest of them, but what was strange was that when we emerged, there was a large crowd gathered in one location.

Curious, I made my way there with Anna and the others.

I didn't have to push my way through the crowd to see what was in front and why they were gathered when they saw the twin blades at my back.

Even though they were sheathed, the scabbard alone gave them an idea of the blades' quality.

As we made our way to the front, I kept hearing things like "is that a portal?" "It appears to be a gate" and so on.

As I heard these things, I became more curious, and when I finally got to the front, I saw what had gathered them.

I also saw Adara and some of my classmates in front, so I went there while observing the strange thing in front of me.

It was over five meters tall and circular in shape, similar to a portal in a sci-fi movie.

When I got close enough to see what it was through the primordial chronicle, I realized it was something else, but I was also perplexed because I hadn't expected it to be what it was.
