My Little Pony: Another World Adventure
Chapter 126 Family Dinner
There are two characteristics of machine soul.
1. It cannot exist independently from its carrier.
2. Her power depends on the number of people who respect her and need her.
Therefore, in the desolate and dangerous Lop Nur, Miss Qiu, who used nuclear flames to illuminate the new future of the then-infant People's Republic of China, gave birth to a powerful machine soul - Qiu Wu - that could exist independently without a carrier, amid the strong and pure beliefs of countless experts, scholars, soldiers and people.
This girl, who is as elegant as a lotus and as tall as Malan, not only possesses a fully materialized body of flesh and blood, but also hides a power as strong as nuclear fission beneath her seemingly slender and fragile appearance.
Latan was surprised that Chao Long chose Qiu Wu as the commissioner to the United States, but he could understand it. The world is in turmoil, and the various disasters created by the time travelers have made the chaotic situation brought about by the disintegration of the Soviet Union even more dangerous. A commissioner with strong personal strength is undoubtedly more competent for diplomatic work, and her deceptive and soft appearance can also eliminate the sharp contradictions in the diplomatic process to a certain extent.
The Red Lion looked behind Qiu Wu and said in fluent standard Mandarin: "Since you are here, why didn't you bring some teachers or political commissars with you?"
"You're too polite. I didn't..." Qiu Wu was halfway through her sentence when she realized that Latan was not being polite to her. "You are really... outspoken. Is your school really short of teaching staff?"
"If it's just about teaching magic, there's no shortage of it," Latan said, "but now the curriculum at Hogwarts has been completely reformed, and a lot of liberal arts and science subjects need excellent teachers to lay a solid foundation for students. I don't want my alma mater to produce a group of idiots who can only chant spells and have no logical reasoning ability. That's an insult to me."
"You are indeed as arrogant as Colonel Chao said." Qiu Wu blinked, and his clear eyes curved into two beautiful arcs. "Then why don't you hire a local teacher from Chicago?"
Latan was shocked. "And then promote happy education like the United States, and raise a group of idiots who don't even know their own country is in North America? Rather than seeing that tragic situation, Miss Qiu, you might as well poke my eyes out right now."
He looked at the clock on the platform and said, "It's already so late. If you don't mind, come to my house for a quick meal."
Qiu Wu's eyes flashed with a trace of vigilance. Could it be that the Scarlet King was going to use the dinner as an excuse to get some benefits or promises from her country? She waved her hands quickly: "No, no! Party rules teach me not to take even a single needle or thread from the masses. Mr. Magnus, you are also a member of the people. This is not in compliance with the rules."
"But welcoming guests is a Chinese custom, isn't it?" Latarn asked. "In that case, Miss Qiu, please pay for the food and let me personally cook a meal for you to celebrate your safe arrival at Xiamamian. Wouldn't that be against the rules?"
Qiu Wu opened her mouth, but knowing she had no reason to refuse, she took a deep breath and finally nodded helplessly: "Then I'd better obey your command, Mr. Magnus."
"You'd better be prepared to bleed a lot." Latan curled his lips, "There are quite a few people coming to the dinner tonight."
----
Minamoto Kiyotaka knocked on the door lightly, and bowed at a standard 90-degree angle the moment the door opened: "Good evening, Aunt Lenara!"
"Hey, my dear nephew~" The flour-covered prosthetic hand touched his head lovingly. Minamoto Kiyotaka looked up in surprise, only to see Malenia in a pink checkered apron appearing at the door. The Valkyrie was grinning lovingly.
"Why is it you?" Minamoto Kiyotaka patted the flour off his hair in surprise.
"Why can't it be me? This is my brother's house!" Marenia put her hands on her hips, showing a hostess's temperament. "Come in, the slippers are in the shoe cabinet, get them yourself. Why are you alone? Where are Colin and Dante?"
"Colin was detained by Professor McGonagall. He made the pumpkin that was supposed to be turned into a teacup become as big as a carriage and crushed the table." Minamoto Kiyotaka picked out a pair of furry gray slippers for himself from the shoe cabinet. "Duck Brother is still fiddling with Gojo Satoru's eyes. When I was putting my books away in the dormitory next time, I heard him swearing in Italian. Obviously, things are not going well."
"Pumpkin carriage..." Marenia said thoughtfully, "Hey, I have an idea -"
From the kitchen came Ginny's scream: "Marlene! Come here! Luna wants to eat our dough!"
Marlene rushed over, and Minamoto Kiyotaka followed immediately. The scene in the restaurant could only be described as tragic. Flour and yeast were scattered all over the round dining table, a rolling pin was half hanging dangerously on the edge of the table, stainless steel bowls filled with water and oil were scattered everywhere, and the closed kitchen was filled with the sound of chopping as fast as machine gun fire.
Ginny's red hair was dyed white by the flour, and she looked quite old. She and Qiu Wu each held one of Luna's arms to stop the crazy girl from sticking her head into the fat white dough. Marenia leaned over from the end of the table to pull the dough in front of her, almost hitting Luna's head. Lena sat in a wheelchair nearby and watched with a smile, as if she was enjoying a farce.
Minamoto Kiyotaka had no way to help, but he didn't want to just stand there and do nothing, so he bowed to Reinara and said, "Good evening, Auntie!"
"Good evening, friend of Latan." Lenara's tone was a little vague, "What's your name? Jeremiah?"
Although Latan had said in advance that his mother was still somewhat confused, he didn't remember a single word of it, right? "I'm Minamoto Kiyotaka, auntie."
"Ah...ah, yes, Xiao Yuan..." Reinara covered her forehead, "I'm sorry, my soul has been out of the body for too long...Have you eaten, Xiao Yuan?"
If I had eaten, I wouldn’t be here!
Minamoto Kiyotaka said helplessly: "Not yet, Auntie."
Luna suddenly came out from under the table and came close to Minamoto Kiyotaka, staring at him with her big light blue eyes. Minamoto Kiyotaka could even feel her warm breath. As a conservative Japanese, he was not used to European and American girls ignoring social distance. He leaned back subconsciously: "Sorry——"
Luna raised both of her palms, and the flying flour painted the hybrid's cheeks pale. The crazy girl said firmly: "Noh!"
Minamoto Kiyotaka's eyes widened, and he looked confused.
Ginny at the other end of the table said tiredly, "She means that you are very suitable to be a Noh actor... Aaron, please bring her to me and I will look after her."
Qiu Wu watched Yuan Qinglong grab Luna's collar and bring her to Ginny like a cat, and said to Lenara, "These kids really are...very individual."
"They are all very cute little ones." Lena's thin but beautiful face exudes the glow of motherhood.
There was a knock on the study window, and Nexter's face filled the window frame. Minamoto Kiyotaka ran over and opened the window. In the shining light, Colin walked in from the windowsill with Dante and Gregorovitch.
Dante held the shoes in his hand and said carelessly, "Brothers and sisters! Am I not late?"
Ginny shouted, "Brother Duck, did you fail in making your demonic weapon again?"
Dante's face flushed instantly: "Demon weapons...how can this be considered a failure? I'm just accumulating practical experience!"
Then came a string of half-understood words, like "Cursed power and the power of the devil are not the same", "It's all because the cursed tools are too weak", which made everyone laugh and the room was instantly filled with a happy atmosphere.
Lenara said to Gregorovitch, "You're back, Dad."
"Hmm." Gregorovitch muttered. He was now working in the forge shop in the town in front of the academy. He had lost a lot of weight and was much stronger. He looked more like a martial arts master like "Aobai" than Santa Claus.
Qiu Wu extended his hand to him: "Hello, old man, my name is Qiu Wu, the specialist sent by Colonel Chao to connect with your grandson."
Gregorovitch completely ignored Qiu Wu's outstretched hand and said angrily, "Who are you? Are you the same as that monster Latan?"
Qiu Wu cast a look at Lena with concern for her family relationship, turned around and said: "Old man, your grandson is not a monster, he-"
"You!!!" Gregorovitch yelled without warning, frightening Minamoto Kiyotaka who was standing beside him and flinching. He turned around and glared at Colin, who was standing on the windowsill of the study with his feet dangling in the air. "Take off your shoes before you come in! Don't dirty Latarn's table!"
"Oh oh oh." Colin responded repeatedly and hurriedly tried to untie his shoelaces.
"Hmph, you reckless brat." Gregorovitch turned around, "Why are you looking at me?"
Qiu Wu said sincerely, "Mr. Old man, the way you express your emotions is exactly the same as that of Chinese parents. I just arbitrarily assumed that you are not a competent parent. Please accept my apology."
Lenara smiled and said, "Dad is just too twisted."
"Grandpa Gregorovitch is a very good man." Colin jumped down from the windowsill and pulled out two pairs of short swords from his waist. "In order to help me make this pair of swords that can resonate with the power of light, he tried almost all the materials."
"There is no future for a two-blade guy." Minamoto Kiyotaka chuckled, "Come and join our Taidaoxia camp."
Colin curled his lips and said, "Grandpa Gregorovitch has also dissuaded several students who wanted to use the katana as their main weapon. After all, it's really too frustrating to work so hard to climb a dragon and still not be able to do it."
Minamoto Kiyotaka stopped laughing.
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion in the kitchen. Everyone turned their heads to look. The sliding door with frosted glass slid open to the left and right. Cassandra, with a bloody face, poked her head out from inside. She held a bloodstained boning knife in her hand and asked calmly, "Do you want to eat cilantro?"
"No, sister." Dante was dumbfounded, "You killed someone in the kitchen?"
"What? Oh, you mean this." Cassandra wiped some of the red liquid on her face and put it into her mouth. "This is watermelon juice. I accidentally used too much force when I was cutting the watermelon. So do you eat cilantro or not?"
Colin raised his hand: "I—"
"Let the guest speak first!" Cassandra glared at Colin, then smiled at Qiu Wu, "Miss Qiu, is there anything you don't like?"
Qiu Wu said casually, "The guest should follow the host's wishes. Let's see what the children think."
"I'm fine with either." Marenia used her prosthetic knife to cut the dough into equal-sized pieces. "Anyway, I can't taste anything under the influence of the bloody corruption."
"I'm not picky about food. Ouch, Luna!" Ginny slapped the crazy girl's hand away as she tried to grab the dough to play with it, "This is not plasticine!"
Luna withdrew her hand in disappointment, and suddenly said whimsically: "I want to add some goldigan."
"No, that stuff smells like snot." Minamoto Kiyotaka suddenly realized something, "Wait, who's cooking?"
"Of course it is me."
Gravity Thunder grabbed the dough on the chopping board, beat and stretched them, one became two, two became four, four became eight... In just a few seconds, the dough evolved into chewy noodles, which were coated with flour, curled up and flew into Latan's hands.
The red lion poked his expressionless face out from above Cassandra's head, holding noodles in one hand and a spatula with a few pieces of chopped green onions on the other. He was wearing a black vest on the upper body, with an oversized yellow apron over the vest, which was about to burst with his strong muscles. He exuded a virtuous aura from head to toe.
"Brother Duck, Brother Lonely, and Paparazzi, the three of you should stop standing there. Help clean up the countertops and move the table to the living room. The restaurant can't seat so many people. Ginny, get some chairs for the guests. Marlene, take Luna to the bathroom to wash up. How can the boss of the Daily Planet look like a fool?"
