Chapter 658 Selene's Birthday Party
On the morning of March 1st.
The Eternal Theocracy, the fifth circle.
To celebrate Selene's birth, Aiwass took Lily and Selene out for a good meal.
Since it was Selene's "birthday party", of course Selene would choose what to eat.
But even Aiwass hadn't expected that Selene would choose a roasted whole lamb...
"…Is everything really alright, Selene?"
Aiwass couldn't help but ask.
It's too strange to eat this kind of thing before daybreak. It's hard to imagine where it can be sold.
But this is not a big problem. After all, you can buy basically anything you want to eat in the Church.
But from another perspective… although I don't know what relationship Selene has with lambs, she does have the square eyes of a lamb. This sounds as strange as a harpy eating roasted chicken, or a murloc eating roasted fish.
"It's as strange as a harpy eating roasted chicken, or a murloc eating roasted fish...Isn't that what Dad thinks?"
Selene said with a smile what was in Aiwass's mind.
Her devilish blood-red square pupils have an oppressive power that can see through people's hearts.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with that."
Selene sat on Aiwass's left, repeatedly trying to lift Aiwass's hand and place it on her head: "After all, among animals... it's always the big fish that eat the small fish.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with the strong eating the weak."
After Aiwass's correction, Selene quickly followed suit and fixed the bug of calling Aiwass "Mom." However, she quickly switched to calling Aiwass "Dad."
Considering that her body was indeed partially constructed from Aiwass's flesh and blood—even that it was Aiwass's pastoral care that finally awakened her—this statement wasn't entirely wrong. Just like people with pets at home sometimes call them sons or daughters... Selene's relationship with Aiwass was much closer than that.
Lily on the side was obviously feeling a little overwhelmed by the situation.
She sat on the other side of Aiwass, not knowing whether she should stop Selene's behavior. After all, Selene was partly her. However, Lily herself would never dare to do such a ridiculous and rude thing or say such weird words.
She also didn't know whether she should just watch or turn her head away and pretend not to see.
So Lily tried to change the subject: "How about I go call Mr. Hermes..."
"Don't worry about it Sherlock. Didn't I leave him a sandwich?"
Aiwass shook his head. "He's reached a critical juncture in his study of the tantra. Given his personality, he hates wasting time and meaningless arguments at a time like this."
"Even though I asked you to call him, he would definitely come. But he would probably be unhappy. It's better to let him finish his study."
The threshold for understanding the "Foolish Songs Tantra" was simply too high. Aiwass curiously glanced at it from behind Sherlock's back, only to feel dizzy and confused. He also confirmed that he truly had little potential for the path of wisdom. Even Sherlock, after reading it for so many days, still couldn't understand it at all.
Today Sherlock said that he had a premonition that he could understand this secret book, so Aiwass simply didn't bother him.
"With any luck...when I get home today, I'll see Sherlock master this mysterious skill."
Aiwass said happily.
It wasn't that he needed Sherlock to do anything for him. He was just happy for his friend's progress.
"...This is the first time I know that the young master can cook."
Lily said a little strangely.
As the ritual neared its end, her vitality was severely depleted—after all, she had forcibly split another self from her own body. It was like she had suffered a serious illness, unable to lift heavy objects and even staggering when walking.
Of course, Aiwass couldn't let Lily do housework when she was in such a bad condition.
After he gave Lily a brief recovery, he made breakfast for Sherlock, who didn't plan to go out.
"It's just an ordinary sandwich..."
Aiwass said casually.
After all, he had lived with a roommate in his previous life. Although his roommate, whose name he could not remember, was very good at taking care of others, at least some housework skills were still necessary - he couldn't just push all the work onto another person, right?
Even if the other person has a good temper, you can't order them around like this. Friendship will eventually wear away.
When his friend was too tired to cook and didn't want to, Aiwass still had to help. After all, he remembered that his friend didn't like takeout very much...
Thinking of this, Aiwass felt a little sad.
...His memory was so fragmented that only vague but full emotions remained in his heart, but he could not remember the names of those people or their appearances. It was like going on an adventure with someone in a dream, and after waking up, he only remembered a vague and general impression.
On the other hand...if Aiwas's memory is a part that Huan Tiansi cut off from himself, then he kept the memories of those people but cut off the feelings about them. What's the point of keeping these dry memories?
Might as well take them all away.
——Or take them all on yourself.
This thought came to Aiwas' mind.
He desperately wanted to make himself more complete - the current Aiwass always made him feel scared because he didn't know if he would still be the same person after completing his past memories.
On the other hand, Aiwass wondered if his personality would change drastically, becoming a cold and indifferent person. He wondered if he would still be recognized by his current friends, family, and loved ones, or if he would still care about everything he held so dearly.
Just as Aiwas was lost in thought, the harpy-style roasted whole lamb from a restaurant called "Salt of the Sky" was served.
As the name suggests, this shop specializes in a special salt bowl that looks like a stone, and when you rub the meat in it, it will have a light salty taste.
It is said that the harpy people like to use this kind of bowl - they have the custom of eating wolves, sheep, eagles and fish. They will roast all kinds of hunted meats and rub them in this kind of bowl to season them. Over time, they will become crystal clear because of their smoothness and soaking in fat.
Just as the waiter was about to help cut the meat, Selene suddenly let out a low growl like a wild beast.
The waitress, who looked as pure as an angel and had white wings, was startled. Selene's beastly aura made the waitress shudder and instinctively take a few steps back.
When Aiwass signaled her to leave, "Miss Angel" suddenly ran away in fear.
After she left, Selene rushed forward and ate the barbecue with big mouthfuls. The way she ate even scared Lily - she herself had never expected that Selene would lose her mind because of barbecue.
She exuded a visible black-red aura. This seemingly well-behaved and elegant black-haired girl now had a ferocious expression and drooled as she devoured the lamb like a frantic, hungry beast.
That posture...
——Compared to the path of love, it is more like the path of beasts.
