My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 204

"Sorry, we got so caught up in the moment that we lost track of time," Kisha said, her words carrying a double meaning intended to mislead everyone. And just like that, she successfully made everyone think that she and Duke had engaged in something unthinkable in the forest. The insinuation was particularly effective since almost everyone knew they were a couple.

Of course, everyone pretended not to catch the meaning behind her words out of respect for their leaders. Besides, those words were not meant for them but for those monitoring through the hidden cameras around.

"It’s alright, young madam. We’re just finishing up here, and you were only gone for about an hour. If you ask me, that’s not nearly enough time for you newlyweds to spend alone, especially with the villa now crowded with people and kids. It’s only right for you two to have some privacy and enjoy a date." Vulture’s words helped make their farce more believable.

By doing so, no matter how many times Duke and Kisha entered the forest, it would only look like they were using it as their little rendezvous point for intimacy and privacy away from the others.

Kisha nodded in satisfaction, appreciating how Vulture picked up on her cues and managed to provide a plausible explanation. She couldn’t help but admire Vulture’s instincts and quick thinking.

However, more intriguing than that realization was the fact that her territory space seemed to operate on a different time scale compared to the outside world — approximately 1 minute inside equated to 10 minutes outside. They had spent nearly 10 hours in the space, which outside amounted to barely an hour.

Kisha pondered the implications: if she were to spend the entire 15 days required for her mission inside this space, would it affect the countdown timer for completing her mission?

She would have to wait until midnight to find out if the time spent inside the space would count towards her mission duration. If it did, that would pose a significant problem. However, tonight they also needed to administer the Heart Gu Pill to Duke’s subordinate, so she decided to focus on that task while waiting. They had managed to plant a plot of crops during their time inside.

If the system only recognized time according to the outside world, it could work in their favor. But if not, she feared they would be out of options.

Duke and Kisha avoided discussing what happened inside the space, maintaining an air of normalcy. After finishing the farming tasks, Sparrow and Vulture resumed their training with Reeve.

Meanwhile, Kisha and Duke leisurely rested in the living room, snacking on small berries like blueberries and raspberries, which they pretended to have foraged from the forest behind their villa but were actually sourced from Kisha’s space.

Marcus continued to be busy around the villa, tending to the plants and aspiring to become the villa’s gardener and farmer. Meanwhile, Mike and Gant efficiently cleaned the house, and Daisy joined them in the kitchen, where she was learning to cook for everyone. Daisy also showed a keen interest in gardening.

Before they could finish preparing dinner, Kisha and Duke’s leisure time was interrupted by the doorbell on the intercom. Without needing to get up, they glanced toward the door as Gant swiftly ran outside to open the gate.

Soon after, he came back with a complicated expression and his head lowered. "Young Madam, Master, you have a visitor." He said before running inside the house to join his brother and grandfather. _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}
