Chapter 1654: Plans

“Of course, I’ll accompany you if you want… though, wouldn’t it be a bit… awkward? I mean… you know,” Mark said.

“Yeah, I know,” I said. “Hmm, I honestly thought about just bringing you along but maybe that would be considered insulting. Well, my husband’s father side might not really mind you, but the mother side, those that are Japanese, might find it rude due to their customs.”

“Hmm… it’s complicated,” Mark nodded. “I guess I could simply stay somewhere else too? I wouldn’t really mind just staying on a nearby hotel while you are with your family, then when you’ve got free time we meet again for some tourism.”

“Really? But… I would feel kind of bad if I left you behind,” I said.

“Nonsense, the other option would be just going there and causing a ruckus, and the other would be just staying back home,” he said. “And it’s still better to just go with you and then go to an hotel and do my own stuff, I’ve always wanted to visit Japan anyway. Now that we can even learn languages quickly thanks to magic stuff, there won’t be any problems with the language barrier either.”

“I’m glad you’re so optimistic… thanks,” I nodded, holding his hand and kissing his lips. “Love you.”

I hugged him after that, as he hugged me back and kissed my forehead a few times, caressing my hair.

“It’s alright, don’t worry about me. also you could set a portal so I could go back home anytime too, right?” Mark asked.

“Oh yeah! Wait… if I leave one there too, we could always go back and forth with ease!” I said.

“Yeah… I didn’t think about that but you’re right,” Mark nodded. “Sounds really interesting. We could do the same with other places of the world to easily teleport between them, but we would have to first visit them the normal way.”

“I agree, but sounds reasonable, we could even do it with this Realm too,” I nodded. “However, there’s a problem, there’s a limit of how many of these portals I can make… although the spell I used is separate from the actual alive in BNLO, it still connected to it.”

“I see, what’s the limit right now?” he asked.

“I think around five!” I said.

“That’s more than enough for key points…” he laughed lightly. “Anyway, let’s go have a meal, we’ve talked enough stuff. We’ll go to Japan as you want, don’t worry. I bet Elena will be happy, right?”

“Yeah I think she will,” I nodded. “I’ll do my best to have a good impression on my late husband’s family… that he passed away doesn’t mean those people aren’t my family anymore. I want to reconnect to them, even though they might be a little distant… or even if they don’t want to. Some Japanese people can be cold, especially to foreigners like me. I’ll try to be polite and learn all their manners and customs better. Last time we visited them was several years before my late husband passed away, Elena was still a little baby girl… I didn’t make a good impression with them even then, and they didn’t seem to like me that much.”

“Wow, that’s harsh…” Mark said. “But kind of weird too, your late husband was… not completely Japanese right?”

“Yeah only half Japanese, his Mother side was Japanese, her father was Mexican,” I said. “But his mom and dad went to Japan to marry and live and then moved to Canada after a lot of other things happened in their lives… my late husband lived part of his childhood in Japan, so he always remembered the house of his grandparents fondly and all of that.”

“I see… it’s really interesting,” Mark nodded. “And your parents were…?”

“I was born in Canada, but my parents and my grandparents came from Chile,” I said.

“Oh right, I remember now,” he nodded. “I thought one of them was from Mexico?”

“Yeah my grandma,” I nodded. “But they lived there and moved to Canada when they just married and had me here in Canada, so despite all that I’m 100% born Canadian, heh.”

“Haha, I see,” he nodded. “Have you ever wished to go back to visit Chile before?”

“I don’t know… not really?” I said. “But over the years I’ve become more curious and been getting more comfortable with the idea, but it’s not as important as going to Japan… after all I don’t think there’s any family members over Chile? No, maybe an aunt or an uncle…”

“I wonder what’s the underworld of Chile though,” said Mark. “I mean, the hidden magical world over there…”

“There’s a lot of myths about monsters over there, and other things,” I said. “And there’s the Mapuche and other indigenous tribes and their legacies… so perhaps there must be a lot of mystic places to it… perhaps even a Realm where the Indigenous Gods could be living? Sounds interesting, but then again, it might be for most countries with their own ancient religions and mythology.”

“True that,” he nodded. “We haven’t even looked for what could be here in Canada either… probably something with the Inuit? Or the Métis.”

“Interesting, you’re right! Perhaps something like that could exist, but unless we’re called by them or something, I doubt we should disturb them,” I said. “I believe it’s better to leave things like they are and not annoy others, especially gods or spirits of ancient times.”

“Right,” he said. “Well, here we are, let’s have some nice dinner and go to sleep then.”

“Hm!” I nodded. “Let’s!”

We went inside the restaurant where we met again with our family and friends, enjoying a delicious dinner after a hard day of work. While doing so, we heard a lot of rumors and it seemed that the news about the mines being freed from monsters spread quickly, even more that “a group of brave adventurers” managed to beat an evil wizard that was down there making the Earth Eaters evil.

The people were mostly rejoiced with the idea they could go back to mine at the Underground Mines, which were where they could get the higher rarity and quality ores, so I suppose their industry may regain their momentum and they will stabilize their economy, which I had heard had become slightly bad after the Underground Mines were left unusable.
