Chapter 10 - TIC TAC TOE, A shooting star

Heading to where Nell was, he looked around as he made his way there. After a couple of minutes, he was finally there, looking at a somewhat big building where the new maids were taught but there were no new maids anymore. So, it was just used as free space to teach Nell.

Rushing to the door, he was about to open it, but Nell soon came out. Not surprised to see him, she gave him a quick hug as Raiku hugged back. As if a normal occurrence they went to Nell's room next to his as she left her stuff while following him to the toy room.

It had started one day, when Raiku was five he was bored so he went to where Nell was learning her boring things as he waited, when class was over, walking towards Nell he fell as Nell caught it standing up Nell was still holding him in case he fell as he just held her as well. So they just hugged all the time that no one batted an eye lid about it.

He brought out the board game but as Nell looked at it...

"Tic tac toe...." Nell stared blankly.

"What is wrong with you..."

"Oh, c'mon~ It's not that bad of a game."

"No... We've played that game hundreds of times... You always win." She shook her head looking at Raiku with a vengeful face.

"Fineee. Uh what about balloon pop?"

"Hmmm, we've played that though"

"Sigh we already played with everything here, but balloon pop is always the one thing you or I never get tired off." Beaming Raiku grabbed some Balloons as he blew it up.

"Soo, now come help me blow these up!" He pointed at the rest of the deflated balloons currently.

{An hour later}

Over 60 balloons were already filled up and packed together. Raiku and Nell stood side by side as they looked at it, with sparkling eyes.

"Ready?" Raiku turning to look at her, excited.

"Mhm" Nodding, they both ran off and jumped!

Soon the sounds of popping covered the whole room. As two children's laughter illuminated the place.

***************************

After popping the balloons, they went to get something to eat. Going to the dining room, they took some snacks and ate there.

"Hmm, what should we do after?" Raiku looked at Nell,

"Hmmmm" Nell tried to think of things as she ate the small white cake in front of her.

"I don't- Oh the spear!" Nell said instantly with sparkling eyes.

"0.0 How could I forget about it! But let's stuff ourselves first" Raiku drooling, looked at the rows of chocolate and cakes.

"Your right" Nell having the same sparkling eyes.

A few hours later...

"I'm stuffed" A big bellied Raiku walked out like an imposing fat merchant.

"Same" Nell also having a big belly walked next to him.

"Hehe you look like a pig" Raiku teased,

"And you look like a cow" Nell retorted,

As both of them headed to the room, after opening the door they finally saw at the corner with the spear.

Rushing at it in excitement, they looked at it.

Nell moving forward tried to grab it.

"Nhhhhhhhhh" Nell struggling to lift it, started to sweat.

Raiku seeing this went next to her, there was a lot of space considering the spear was about 2.5m long.

"Grrrrrrr" Raiku and Nell trying their hardest to lift the spear.

THUD

They both fell down on their bums, exhausted.

Laying on the floor while breathing heavily, they looked at each other with a helpless expression.

"We're giving up right?" Raiku asked,

"Obviously" Nell rolling her eyes.

After a few minutes they got up and looked it was already dark.

"Why don't we go out for some fresh breeze?" Raiku looked at Nell,

"Mhm" Nell already 10 steps ahead going out.

"So fast..."

**************************

Outside in personal backyard of the prince.

"Ah~ the breeze feels nice" Raiku smilingly said,

"Mhm" Nell laying down by a tree nodded with a small smile,

Raiku sitting next to her looked up as he saw the beautiful stars.

"Pretty, isn't it?" Nell said,

"It is! Huh? what's that?" Raiku pointed at the sky

"Hmm?" Nell following his finger looked up

A bright line was being made as a shooting star passed by with speed and ferocity capable of killing any of the strongest cultivators.

"So beautiful" Nell said,

...

...

"Raiku?" She turned.

"I don't know why, I feel drowsy" Raiku laying on the tree,

Suddenly Nell also felt drowsy as she laid next to him.

The shooting star from afar already seemed to be over their heads, they fell asleep.

Everyone in the kingdom looked with their Jaw dropping mouth at the shooting star above them. No one in the continent had ever since one.

They even thought they were imagining as they saw it getting bigger and bigger.

Just where Nell and Raiku were, everyone was focused on the star that they didn't notice small spots of star lights covering them. Their bodies soon glowed blue for a couple of minutes then it finally vanished. As the strange energy was hidden deep inside of them.

Not long after, the star turned in to a streak of light as it disappeared, as if it never appeared in the first place.

Everyone shocked at such a sight, we're all entranced by it. As it disappeared, everyone noticed the crops had grown to large extremes. With such abundancy everyone related this to the star.

Immediately people started talking about the star in excitement, believing to have been blessed by the gods. Even Draga was shocked as he was cultivating but he felt something weird and came to take a look. And Lo and behold a shooting star...

Immediately after this, this day was known as star day.
