Supreme Magus novel Chapter 4482

Chapter 4482: First of its Kind (Part 2)

Zinya managed to turn even a boring Accumulation session into a competition.

"I have to admit that I’m a sheep to her wolf." Kamila sighed. "I take magic one day at a time to learn how to take care of my children, whereas Zin practices magic as if she has to prove something to the rest of Mogar."

"Sounds like those Snow Thrower magicos I worked with." Lith replied. "Still, don’t worry too much. Everyone gets excited at first, but real discipline is hard to maintain when you have a busy life like you and Zin."

"That’s so true." Kamila replied. "If I were still working full time as a Constable instead of taking my maternity leave, I don’t think I’d have learned even one third of the spells I know, and my mana core would be yellow at best.

"Once Zin has to breathe on for hours just to brighten a sliver of her core of a single shade, I doubt her enthusiasm will last long. Now, what were you saying about our date?"

"I’m way ahead of you." Lith replied. "I’ve everything planned already, but there’s nothing I can do if you don’t let me know when you can take some time off from your work as vice-coordinator.

"I can’t just kidnap you in the middle of a meeting and drop the children on Mom like a bad habit."

"It would be so romantic, though." Kamila pictured herself being swept off her feet and whisked away to a nice restaurant, ending the evening in an intimate location covered in rose petals.

"Right. Romantic." Lith snorted. "I can almost picture myself barging inside Jirni’s office and carrying you away in the middle of a briefing while you’re instructing Royal Constables all over the Kingdom.

"You’d become the butt of the jokes of your colleagues at best, and I’d throw hours of work and preparation in the gutter at best." Kamila swallowed hard as reality smashed through her idealized version of the events.

"Gods, if you did something like that during a tactical briefing, the damage to the investigation would be incalculable." She said in horror.

"And I’m not done yet." Lith tutted. "At that point, I round up our children and throw them at Mom while they are still calling our names and begging us not to abandon them."

"You monster!" Kamila snarled at the mere thought.

"Now answer me this. How romantic would you feel after I humiliated you in front of your subordinates and the last thing you heard were the desperate cries of our children?

"How would you respond to my seduction attempts, knowing that Ral, Val, and Ely think we are gone forever?" Lith asked.

"I think I’d be too busy trying to kill you to listen to a word you say." Kamila said after taking off the rose-tinted glass of her consequences-free fantasy. "After that, I’d run back home, reassure the kids that everything is alright, and try to salvage what I can of my work."

"My point exactly." Lith nodded. "Well, are you still interested in a spur-of-the-moment romantic trip?"

"Gods, no!" She said. "I’ll let you know as soon as Jirni can give me a few days off."

"Good girl." Lith patted her head. "See you later!"

’I hate it when he treats me like that, and I hate it even more when he’s right!’ Kamila grunted.

Kamila had to wait until the Kingdom got the situation with the Ishara under control before she could apply for leave. With Jirni taking charge of the Ernas region, Kamila was the only one with the know-how to direct and coordinate the investigations in the rest of the Kingdom.

When she was finally granted a short vacation, Lith and Solus were already done upgrading Thundercrash and had even stored enough materials in the tower to conjure a Divine Beast-sized railgun from the Workshop if necessary.

Only replica ingredients would be used, and they would only keep physical form within the tower’s area of effect, but if anyone dared siege the Verhen Mansion, it would be more than enough to make the enemy a nasty surprise.
