chapter 671: first outing after arriving at the sirius continent

"why are you two stopping me?" cynthia asked. "i just plan to wake zion."
"t-there's no need for you to do that, mother," shana replied anxiously. "sister, why don't you wake zion up instead?"
"t-that's a good idea!" rianna didn't even hesitate before rushing to thirteen's room.
they had once stumbled upon thirteen and erica sleeping together in the past. if her mother were to see such a scene, things would become troublesome, which was something that they didn't want to happen.
in order to prevent a scandal from happening, the two sisters worked together to stop their mother from seeing things she shouldn't see.
cynthia found the actions of her two daughters quite baffling. but rianna had already gone ahead to wake thirteen up, so she no longer insisted on coming personally. they'd just meet on the dining table, where she'd have breakfast with the young generation.
when rianna entered the room, a sigh of relief escaped her lips when he saw that it was only sherry lying beside the teenage boy.
the two were hugging each other, and there didn't seem to be any problem with their posture. sherry's pajamas were also properly buttoned, so both of them were safe.
in the eyes of others, the two of them looked like siblings who had a very close relationship.
the only difference was that the teenage boy had black hair, while the teenage girl had blonde hair.
after a brief pause, rianna lightly shook zion's and sherry's body, waking them up.
"rise and shine," rianna said. "get up, so we can have breakfast together."
thirteen and sherry stirred at the same time before looking at the person who woke them up. "what are the two of you looking at?" rianna asked, crossing her arms over her chest. "you should thank me because my mom was planning to personally come wake you up.
"just imagine if the one sleeping beside zion is erica instead of you, sherry. just thinking about the consequences is enough to make the hairs on the back of my head stand on end. you better talk to erica later and tell her not to visit your room at night. got it?"
"mmm." thirteen hummed before propping himself up from the bed.
he then raised his arms to do a bit of stretching.
soon, a black snake crawled on his body, and coiled herself on his neck, flicking her tongue at the teenage boy's cheek.
"good morning, tiona," thirteen said before kissing the snake's head.
he then glanced at sherry, who was right beside him.
"good morning, sherry."
"good morning, zion."
"dress up, so we can eat breakfast together."
"un."
however, as if thinking that going outside to have an activity was a good thing, sherry
decided to propose an idea.
"how about we go and visit the zoo?" sherry asked.
thirteen smiled because this proposal didn't sound so bad, and it fit sherry's character.
"have you been to a zoo before?" thirteen asked.
"no," erica replied. "all the zoos in the cygni continent were closed when the evacuation order was given. dimensional gates often appear inside cities, so everyone had to stay
indoors most of the time."
erica also didn't have the opportunity to visit the zoo because her family was very poor several years ago. now that she had managed to earn a bit of fame and had a rather large salary from the central government, her family's life had changed for the better.
even so, she still never got an opportunity to visit the zoo because she was always busy most
of the time.
"let's go to the zoo," erica supported sherry's idea. "that's fine, right?"
the sorceress gazed at zion because she knew that even if the others didn't approve of it, they
would change their mind if the teenage boy supported the idea.
seeing sherry's and erica's pleading gazes as if they were little children, thirteen couldn't
help but smile faintly.
"okay, the three of us can go." thirteen nodded.
"hey! you don't plan on taking us with you?" rianna complained.
"oh, sorry. i said it wrongly," thirteen replied. "what i meant to say is that we should all go
together."
"hmph! that's better." erica smirked.
after getting everyone's agreement, the group prepared their first outing after arriving at the
sirius continent.
to their surprise, even cynthia decided to join their group, making rianna and shana feel like
she was up to no good!
