YM778.TV Chapter 80 - Why Did We Have To Leave?
The man and his tiger turn around in despair and follow the two ladies back to Yueliangs\' home, with Qing in tow.
"May I know what delicious dish you two have prepared for our return?" Yueliang asks, trying to prepare himself.
Meiren excitedly answers with wide eyes. "We made some barbeque steak, as well as some Potato salad from your home world. I know it may not be much, but we tried really hard to do our best."
"Well I look forward to tasting the fruits of your labors." Yueliang says hoping up and down that they got better, or this meal may be his last.
"Awe, thank you." She replies having her enthusiasm raised, while Huoli sees that it is just him not wanting to get sick like last time, thus she rolls her eyes.
They continue on their short walk back to the house, with Yueliang thinking to himself. \'Did they really get better? If so I should reward them somehow.\'
---- A Minute Later ----
"Yay, we are back." Meiren says excitedly as she sped forward to start preparing everything before they all got in. She quickly got the tableware out with her chi, as well as the potato salad out of the fridge. Once the table was set, and the others started walking in she levitates the deer steaks off of the grill that is just smoking as the fire was put out before they left, and placing them on a plate in the center of the table. She saw that everyone was seated thus she went to hers.
Before anyone has eaten, Yueliang says. "Before we eat, let me get some chopsticks. Anyone else want some before I get mine?" He asks as he walks towards the kitchen.
"I will take a set." Qing says.
"Same here, I would like to try them." Shen Hu says, while turning human in his seat.
"I am up for a shot at it as well." Huoli chimes in.
"Sadly I cannot for now." Meiren declines.
"Alright, give me just a moment." Yueliang replies.
Yueliang walks through a short hallway and into the kitchen. He turns to the left, opening a draw. Seeing the sets of chopsticks, he reaches to picks up some bamboo sets with an appealing design.
---- Meanwhile ----
Shen Hu and the rest at the table start rubbing their eyes, and Huoli says. "Why do my eyes itch?"
Shen Hu asks? "Yours as well?"
---- Back In The Kitchen ----
*Boom. *Splash
Yue jumps back into the hallway, then leans up against the wall. "WHO GOES THERE? If you have a problem with me, it does not mean you have to try blowing up my kitchen, you know." Yue asks with his heart pounding, blood pumping, and thoughts racing before he looks back in the kitchen seeing foamy liquid all over, the cabinet doors blown open, and thing sprayed all over. He thinks to himself. \'At least there is tile in the kitchen or this would be a pain.\' Then seeing that no one is there, he grabs the chopsticks, and heads back into the dining room.
Seeing him back Qing asks. "What was that explosion?"
"It seems to have been a mixture of a few ingredients, however it is fine now. Just a mess to clean up later." Yueliang replies before continuing with a calm expression, and passing the chopsticks. "So, Meiren, Huoli, care to tell me who nearly blew up kitchen?"
The two ladies in question, look at each other, then him, and Huoli answers. "We do not know."
*Sigh. "I guess this means I have to burn down the house to make sure there are no more terrorist or assassination devices here then." Yueliang says purposefully exaggerating the situation in hopes they would confess.
"Wait, I thought you said it was just some ingredients?" Xue Meiren speaks up next.
"It was, someone used baking soda and vinegar to make an explosive. Who knows what else they made and where it may be currently?" Yueliang answers.
"Oh..." Meiren and Huoli both look at each other.
"You want to confess now?" Yueliang asks.
While Meiren looks down, feeling ashamed, Houli, who looks equally so speaks up. "That was our fault, well mainly mine. We did not know it would do that, just that you could clean with them. So I figured if we mix them, it would work even better, and it did." She says with a smile, as she was proud of coming to such a conclusion.
"Alright, I understand. You where just trying to clean, and did not know of the chemical reactions. Do not worry about it any longer, I forgive you. Mistakes happen." Yueliang says while trying to comfort them, before continuing.
Xue Meiren speaks up next, asking. "Chemical reactions? What are those?"
Yueliang realize after a moment of surprise, that he is speaking to extremely intelligent animals, that did not use such things normally, thus he could not expect such knowledge from them. So he answers. "You know this will make it faster, first off. I am going to hire a chef to teach you both cooking, so you can show your true talents. Then, I will ask one of the Sky Orcs to teach you both chemistry, speaking of. Why did you not see it from my memories? And is there anything else you want to tell me before we eat?" Yueliang asks.
Xue Meiren giggles before saying. "Sorry, I have the memories, but I guess we where too excited, and forgot."
Yueliang just sighs upon hearing this, and says. "Fine, no chemistry teacher then."
Xue Meiren hearing this replies. "Yay."
Huoli then speaks next. "I am sure you will enjoy this meal. Plus I even added something to whiten your teeth, hydrogen peroxide."
Yueliangs\' eyes widen like saucers before saying while standing up. "Tell me you did not mix it with vinegar?"
"Um, yes?" Huoli says.
"Alright, everyone leave through the front door immediately." Yueliang says quickly and in a rush he thinks. \'Yang can you dispose of this potato salad, the chemicals that are currently around the house, and anything aerosol like that is harmful as well\'
"Not a problem brother. However it will cost 1,000 shop coins to get rid of this chemical compound. It is actually pretty funny that you are still referring to this perisitc acid as food at this point. You do realize that you got extremely lucky just now? If she did not warn you, I would have. But that stuff could have killed you. Now that I think about it, how did you not notice the eye itchiness? Is that not one of the first symptom." Yang asks rhetorically.
\'That reminds me, we still have to talk about that situation, that I mentioned later.\' Yueliang says.
"Hahah, brother, you should really relax soon. Ohh, I know, how about a hot spring? That should help, you do know that stress is bad for you right." Yang says, trying to change the topic, while also genuinely worried.
\'Well anyways, I am going to head out the others are waiting for me.\' Yueliang thinks to Yang, while walking through the house to the door. However about to reach for the door, he looks to his left and then he sees the mountain of supplies the goblins left. Upon noticing this he pulls all the crystals and ore the goblins left here as per his instruction into his inventory.
After doing this, Yueliang thinks to himself while walking to the door. \'I should talk to Yin, it has been a while, and I miss my best friend.\' Then he reaches for the door handle once more, and opens it, thus heading out the door to meet the others who on their faces are clearly full of questions.
"Why did we have to leave?" Qing asks, with the others nodding in agreement.
\'Seriously? Even the human does not realize, well, what can you expect from a group that rejects magic, and what not. I guess, they still have yet to advance their sciences that far.\' Yueliang thinks to himself before saying. "*sigh. Sorry, the reason why is because while cooking, Huoli created perasitic acid by accident. While it may not sound bad, it can kill you very painfully. However if you manage to live through it, your life will still never be the same." Yueliang explains while trying not to go into too much detail.
"How so?" Huoli asks, as she is curious how she made such a dangerous thing with trying, and yet even when she touched it, it did not harm her.
"Well, since you are curious, if you are in contact with it long enough with just your skin it will eat through your body, destroying the organs that keep you alive. You will bleed inside, and choke on your own blood, among many other painful and gruesome things. While it only takes 3 minutes touching your skin, it is much faster and worse if you swallow it. Plus they eye itchiness you felt before, was a beginning symptom of it." Yueliang replies in semi detail this time.
