David used his mind power to wrap around Celesteâs enormous pet tortoise as they head quickly toward the Milky Way in twelve-dimensional space.
The twelve-dimensional space was the highest-dimensional space in the universe.
The enormous tortoise moved very quickly inside and, in just a little over a week, they had reached the Milky Way.
This was Astrid and Miaâs hometown.
Even though they did not want to part ways with everyone and wanted to go to Earth too, they had to go back to visit their parents and family after leaving home for so long.
Plus, they were already here so, of course, they had to go back.
On Planet Royal in the middle of the Milky Way, the space shook and a huge crack appeared. After that, an enormous tortoise appeared from the space crack, a massive building on its back.
The appearance of the enormous tortoise immediately triggered the defense system on Planet Royal.
Countless battleships approached the enormous tortoise.
In a blink of an eye, the enormous tortoise was tightly surrounded.
At the same time, three figures appeared not far from the enormous tortoise.
They were Emperor Nimbus of the Milky Way Empire, Empress Gamora, and Nimbusâ uncle Wilfred.
When the trio looked at the sudden appearance of the enormous tortoise, they did not have any traces of worry on their faces. Instead, they were smiling happily.
It was because they had seen this enormous tortoise before.
Back when Astrid left with David, they took this enormous tortoise.
Now that the enormous tortoise was back again, wouldnât it mean that Astrid was back?
At this moment, Astrid was inside the building at the tortoiseâs back. She was saying goodbye to everyone reluctantly.
She hugged everyone, leaving David to the last.
âDavid, Iâll be going back now. Have a safe journey,â Astrid said, her eyes red.
David reached out to wipe away the tear in the corner of Astridâs eye. Then, Weâre not parting ways forever. Do you need to do this?â
âI am reluctant to part with you all. Iâm sad that I have to leave you.â As Astrid said that, she sobbed.
âItâs fine! We can always keep in contact. Itâs been so long, Iâm sure Mr. Barlowe misses you too. I promise you that after you reunite with them, Iâll come to get you so you can reunite with everyone on Earth, what do you think?â David asked comfortingly.
âReally?â Astrid showed a look of surprise in her eyes.
âOf course! You saw how fast I can be. As long as you want to come over, Iâll come to get you immediately.â
âAlright, itâs a deal then!â
Astrid mustered up her courage and took a step forward while blushing. Then, she stood on her tiptoes and planted a soft kiss on Davidâs lips. After that, she turned around without looking back, leaving only one sentence.
âThatâs my first kiss.â
With Davidâs strength, he could avoid that easily.
Yet, in the end, he did not.
Dodging the kiss was trivial for him, but if he did that, he would undoubtedly hurt Astridâs vulnerable heart.
David could not bring himself to do that.
If he was heartless, his love life would not be as chaotic as it is.
âItâs okay, I can suffer a little disadvantage.
âWait!
âSomethingâs wrong!
âAm I the one suffering a disadvantage?
âI am the one benefiting!
âWhoâs Astrid?
âThe beloved princess of the Milky Way Empire and one of the four fairies of the Milky Way.
âSheâs the dream girl of countless men.
âIf outsiders saw her kissing a man voluntarily, there would be an orchestra of hearts breaking!â
As he watched Astrid leave, David reminisced about the cool feeling on his lips. Then, he followed after Astrid. While he followed her, he said, âWait for me. Iâll send her off.â
He had abducted Nimbusâ daughter for so long, so he had to give him an explanation, right?
Even if there was nothing between him and Astrid, he was the one who took her away in the first place.
How could David let Astrid go back alone after Nimbus handed her to him?
Countless battleships surrounded the enormous tortoise.
The tortoise had very low intelligence, so it would only listen to Celesteâs order. Without orders, it would hover stationary in the air.
