The Arks - Chapter 426

From the area that her palm had been sprouted a growing tree. And within a few seconds, the tree was in a mȧturė state. Bryan’s eyes widened as the kids continued to be fearful at the Valkyrie and the growing tree. But the tree wasn’t done growing until it had its fruits ready.

Mavislin shot out a hand and a branch grew out of the tree, reaching towards Mavislin. The moment it touched her palm, a beautiful, ripe red apple appeared. Mavislin gently plucked it from the branch and waved her hand, asking the branch to retract back.

Taking one more look at the kids, Mavislin looked at the apple and flexed her right index finger. To Bryan’s surprise, her finger turned into a claw and she proceeded to cut up the apple into small pieces. She walked towards the kids and dropped the apples to each of their bowls.

“You can have these instead. They are called fruits and they are quite good for you. Not to mention yummy. These are called ‘Apples’,” explained Mavislin, smiling at them.

The two kids were skeptical but gave the new food a try anyways. Both their eyes lit up and they began to eat without any trouble. Bryan gave out another sigh, looking at Mavislin’s proud smile.

“Well, that’s one way to get them to eat healthily…”

“Keep in mind that these kids had just been taught what was soup earlier in the day. And they just learned the concept of ‘meat’ in tonight’s dinner. Anything that isn’t rotting bread would be considered healthy for them now…” replied Mavislin, with darkened eyes.

“Wait until they’ve gotten to know what are candy apples… That’s where the whole ‘eating healthy’ starts to clash,” remarked Raiyen, coming over.

Mavislin’s eyes lit up and rushed over to Raiyen, leaving Bryan buŧŧerfly confused. Tomoe felt his ears twitched while the kids played with his giant, white fluffy tail.

“What are those? I’ve never heard of them before, what are candy apples?” asked Mavislin, with eyes sparkling with curiosity.

It was at that point that Bryan could not tell if Mavislin had been one of the children. And somehow, Raiyen looked quite worried at the fact that Mavislin wanted to know about new foods.

“Well, it’s… Apples dipped in caramel! Humans consumed them during the end of the harvest period, where apples are full in abundance. I’ll bring some when I can, alright?” promised Raiynb, patting Mavislin’s head.

“We have a chef… We can ask him to do it under your guidance, right?” asked Mavislin, still pleading to Raiyen.

“Sure… But some other time, okay? We’ve got lots of time together, we don’t have to do everything in one day.”

Mavislin nodded happily. When she turned around, she was met with a whole swarm of children, with the two other kids from before at the front of them.

“We shared with them the apples… They like it, we like it. Can they have some as well?” asked the girl from before.

Raiyen could not help but laugh at the scene of Mavislin facing such a large crowd of hungry children. She breathed in deeply and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her eyes were now bright green orbs and she snapped her fingers.

Each branch from the tree began to extend and hovered in front of the crowd, performing twists and turns to be at the right spot. And with a nod from its creator, out blossomed apples for the hungry children. With a swerve of her hand, the apples were harvested from the branches.

“I did not train myself to be the fastest ȧssassin Mage alive to do the apple slicing,” grumbled Raiyen as he pulled out his blades.

“And I did not train myself to be the most well-rounded Mage on the planet to grow apple trees. Hurry up and slice them already, my hands are beginning to sore,” shot back the Valkyrie at her partner.

He sliced through the air and the apples, similar to the previous scene of distributing the chicken. But the time, the kids were amazed at how fast Raiyen was, glitching through the air to get through each apple. When he landed, Mavislin instantly shot out both her hands, palms wide open.

The apple slices danced through the air and landed into each of the children’s empty bowls. The children did not say anything else and began to munch on their healthy and wonderous dessert.. Mavislin turned around and gestured for the branches to return to the trunk.
