“So once again, how do we plan to train in 2 days that would be sufficient enough to beat your dad?” I asked

“Good question” she replied

Then silence filled the room

“You don’t have any ideas, don’t you?”

“You’re right, I don’t have any ideas”

“Then we are screwed,” Talia said

“If you don’t beat him when he comes home…” Talia expression then changed from scared to grossed out

“We will have to be engaged with-with-with them…” Talia then fainted

Yasu quickly caught her, before she could fall on to the ground

“Is your sister going to be ok”

“It is mother, but yeah it is going to be ok”

“She still is admitting that it is her mother, even though Talia being engaged by someone”

“Alright then” Not going to bring up the mother/sister conflict again

I then set Talia on the bed that I just played in and started to leave

“Wait, where are you going?” Lily asked

“I’m going to find a way to train by myself, you can stay here and watch over your sis-, mother”

“Oh ok then, see you later, I guess”

I then left the room and headed outside, to find a way to train and getting better within 2 days

“I could just keep using the moves provided for me to enhance my cloak”

“Ok, that’s an idea, let's do this!”

I was high in spirits and started to with that tactic

I first found a rock, making sure it wasn’t a golem this time, but a normal rock

And started to hit it, I know it is boring and tedious to do this, but it was the only way to get ‘stronger’

A hit, after a hit, and another hit using different skills, which only swept and whip

It wasn’t before long before, both my skills were maxed out

The only thing that changed when I maxed out those skills was that my sweep skill can take down any and all enemies, which I would say pretty convenient, but it still did no damage, which was the downside

“Looks like, I have to rely on my ‘whip’ skill unless I get a new skill by repeatedly ‘grinding’ levels for my cloak and myself”

I decided to stop hitting the rock when I ran out of energy and then started to head by to Lily’s castle, though I felt like I should’ve gone back to Mist’s castle

When I was at the castle, I found out that it was looking good as new again

Upon entering I would see that Lily and Talia wasn’t there to greet me, but instead in the castle in the dining room ready to eat

As I went in they saw me and restrained themselves

“Ahh, it seems you came back,” Talia said

“Yeah, we were just about to eat”

“Do you want to join us”

“Sure” as I took an open seat at the large dining table

“Ok, so what is there to eat, I asked?”

“We start off with this” as Lily opened the lid covering the food to reveal this dark substance, similar to Athena’s dish, though it seem to have a dark aura emitting out of the dish

“Is that safe to even eat?” I asked

“Oh of course it is, I mean look how edible it is,” Lily said as she starts to drooling

“It may look repulsive to your tastes, but I rest assure you this food is safe to eat as well as the food that we eat here in the Abyss”

“Can it get better than this” as a point at the dish that Lily was drooling at

“Nope,” Talia said nonchalantly

“*Sigh*”

And with a sigh, I took a spoonful of the dish surprisingly it was pretty good

“Well, is it good” Seeing Lily looking at me

“...Yeah”

“So do you want more?” as Lily started to open the lids of all the dishes that are present on the table

“Look at all these foods!” Lily said as she drools as she looks at every dish, but to me, all the dishes looked exactly the same

“They may look the same, but they must be different in taste!”

I then started to take a bite of every single dish… and sadly…. THEY ALL TASTED THE SAME

Losing my sense of taste, I looked at how Talia and Lily enjoyed their food

They were eating nice and quickly as if all the food tasted and looked great

While in the middle of eating, Talia sees that Yasu wasn’t eating

“Aren’t you going to eat anything?” Talia said as she handed some of her food to me

“Nah, I’m good, I already got my fill”

“Really?! Alright, then you're missing out!” Lily then started to eat a lot faster

“...”

“Imma go sleep,” I said as I stood up from my chair

“Mhmm!” Lily said as her mouth was stuffed with food

Once I found my room, I jumped on to my bed, though the bed is different from the standard beds, I have seen and have slept on previously during my knockout

The beds were somewhat black in color with a faint red covering the black, the mattress was weirdly squishy and soft at the same time

When I sleep on it, I couldn’t help but feel soothed and disturbed at the same time, an alias I still went to sleep
