Blake ran into Lillia on his way to check in on Sei. "How was the thing from Thardra?"
"Amazing! Lillia, when he fixes a few more things on it, and we can mass produce it we will have new forms of transportation." Blake replied. He had a child like grin on his face as he spoke about it.
"That's good. So… How did Sister Hina taste?" Lillia poked Blake, causing him to rub his nose.
"Not as sweet as you." Blake leaned in and kissed Lillia's lips. She snorted and kissed him back. He was such a smooth talker! But she was happy that two of the three had been taken care of.
"Okay, enough!" Lillia playfully pushed Blake away as she asked: "You are here to check on Sister Sei, right?"
"Mmmm… If she is ready for her second evolution, she will need to go into an evolution chamber with us just in case something goes wrong." Blake hated having to do this, but this was what the chambers on the bottom floor were for. Evolution chambers where many were lined up. There wasn't a day when one of the rooms was being used.
"Alright then let's check on her then." Lillia and Blake both pushed the door open to see a sight that made both of them crack up laughing. On the bed in the bedroom, Sei was upside down with a big wad of paper, kicking it up into the air and catching it then kicking it up into the air and catching it again before using her feet and kicking at it with everything she had while biting at the wad of paper.
In the corner was Tina rolling on the floor with a few of the other girls with bright red faces from laughing so hard. "Nya? Why nya laughing nya?" Sei did not seem to understand why everyone was laughing at her. But this only made the others laugh more because she was still playing with the big wad of paper while asking such a question!
Blake was the first to stop when he saw that Sei looked like she was about to cry. "Alright, enough!" Blake's voice sounded through the room, causing everyone to go quiet. "Sei, come here for a second."
"Nya?" Sei crawled over to Blake, who sat on the edge of the bed and sat next to him. Blake took her hand and sent some of his mana into her body to probe around a bit. He was not as good as Lillia at this, so he couldn't see much, but he could at least test for any signs of harm.
"I can't see anything wrong. Lillia, can you check, please." Blake could only rely on the master!
Lillia nodded and did the same as Blake, but her vision was much clearer, and could sense more of what was going on. "Everything is fine. Even her condensed drop of mana had been refilled. She can try evolving. With a bit of mana cleansing herb and help from the both of us, we should be able to push her to her second evolution."
"This won't harm her in any way, right?" Blake wanted to make sure that no matter what, Sei would not be harmed in any way.
"As for the help evolving to her second evolution, there should be no problem. As for what will happen with the condensed drop of mana, I am not sure. We will have to wait and see. If anything I will melt it if I see any signs of rejection during her evolution." Lillia replied. She had considered everything; otherwise, she would not have suggested any of this.
"Nya?" Sei, who was the subject of the conversation, sat there going back and forth between the two people sitting on both sides of her trying to figure out what was going on.
Blake smiled and scratched her ears, causing the cat girl to purr as he said: "We will be having you undergo your second evolution. "
"Nya!" Sei quickly shook her head. She understood the evolution thing. She had already experienced it once and did not wish to experience it again!
Blake sighed as he pulled Sei into his arms. "We will be there with you the entire time. Evolution is just the process of things. I have undergone two evolutions and also a complete bloodline change. I know you can pull through this. We will do our best to reduce the pain you go through."
"Nyaa…." Sei lowered her head. She did not want to do this! She played with Blake's fingers before sighing and nodding her head. If Blake was with her, then she would deal with the pain.
With Sei agreeing, Blake and Lillia escorted her down to one of the evolution chambers and entered it with her. These chambers had long turned into mini apartments and no longer looked like prison cells. Lillia made a whole new section with cells that are never used but are there just in case they need them. They had some of the strongest barriers on them with anti magic runic inscriptions inside.
After everyone was comfortable and the door was sealed closed. Blake opened the hatch to the door to speak to Tina, who was outside. "If the girls look for me at all, just tell them I went on a trip outside the city. Also, ask Bret to keep a sharp eye out for any movements around the base, especially if any dragonic shows up. I think with you and the girls, you should be able to deal with ten or so dragonic."
"Don't worry. Just take care of Sister Sei. We will handle things here." Tina pressed her fingers on her lips, kissed them, and then pressed them onto Blake's lips. "You worry too much. We have all grown so strong, thanks to you. We can handle a few days without you and Sister Lillia."
Blake smiled and nodded. "Then I leave it to you. Don't tease the girls too much." Blake waved goodbye and closed the hatch, and sealed it off before turning around and walking over to the bed. "I will hold her as I did for the other girls while trying to ease her pain. You just keep a sharp eye on her. If there are any changes that will cause harm to her."
"I will. Don't worry. She will make it through this."
