I Can Read People's Comments - Chapter 114 - Opinions

[Chapter 113 Comments]

Theo felt slightly weird to find no comments in the past two chapters, considering he had gotten comments pretty consistently as of late. He wondered if something had happened.

Ultimately, he couldn’t find out anything, so he had to wait until the readers commented.

That worried expression soon disappeared, replaced by a smile as he stood in front of the door of his apartment. There was a presence approaching him from the inside, so he opened the door.

“Dad!” Mia jumped straight toward Theo as soon as she heard the door open.

“Wooh?!” Theo hurriedly caught her, making sure she wasn’t hurt even though crashing like this wouldn’t hurt. “Do you miss me that much?”

“Of course. You have never taken me to play for some time, so I miss you.” Mia pouted.

“Haha. Then, I will tell you some good news.”

“Are you going to take me on the next mission?” Mia’s eyes brightened.

“Nope.” Theo shook his head but his smile remained.

But hearing his answer couldn’t help but make Mia a bit sad since she was hoping to spend some time with her father. No matter how mature she looked and behaved, she was still seven years old after all.

Seeing this cute daughter of his look sad was torture, so he stopped teasing her anymore and said, “There is no next mission until the exams, but after that, we will have a field trip with the entire class. And after that, we’ll enjoy summer vacation—only the two of us!”

“!!!” Mia widened her eyes in shock and expectation. The field trip was amazing since she could experience a lot of interesting things with her classmates, but the holiday excited her more. This would be a long and thrilling holiday. She couldn’t help but jump to celebrate it. “Yahoo!”

Theo’s expression mellowed. Even after the long, brutal battle and the exhausting trip, this smile was the one that healed him from all the tiredness.

An image couldn’t help but flash in his mind. It was the image of him when he was at her age.

At that time, the only thing he could see was his small apartment. There was no warm, cozy light illuminating the room. No one would come and welcome him back after a long exhausting day. In fact, there wasn’t even food to fill up his stomach.

Whenever he returned, he would just be embraced by the cold loneliness. He would often clutch his stomach, enduring the pain of not being able to eat.

After experiencing such a thing, he was certain that he didn’t want Mia to experience anything like that. Unfortunately, the school caused him to leave her for a few days from time to time.

He felt bad toward Mia because of his selfishness in wanting to meet his creator.

“Dad? What’s wrong?” Mia tilted her head in confusion, not knowing why Theo was just standing there without saying anything.

“Nothing.” Theo patted his daughter’s head and carried her up on his arm while asking, “Alright. Have you eaten yet?”

“Nope! I was waiting for you.”

“In that case, let’s cook something, shall we?”

“I will help.”

It was a warm and cozy activity for the family of two. It’s such a shame that Agata couldn’t complete the picture, but both of them knew that they were going to meet her eventually. So, there was no need to rush.

After eating, Mia remained at the dining table while watching Theo wash the dishes. She remembered about the trip and asked, “Where are we going after the exam? The field trip is not going to be in this world, right?”

“Sadly, the field trip will be held in this world. Well, I have agreed to hold it at a resort owned by a certain royal family. But both of us will have an adventure in another world after that.”

“Oh?!” Mia pumped her fists. “Since it’s an education program, I guess I can’t know about the exact location of the field trip.”

“Not really. I just don’t know the exact place yet. I’ll announce it to the class after all the arrangements are ready.”

“How about our family trip?”

“Why don’t you choose? Maybe a place I haven’t gone yet.” Theo asked.

“You have gone to the Mythical Realm, the Exorcism Realm, and the Sword and Magic Realm. I guess we can’t go to the Demon Realm because it’s not time yet, and we’re currently in the Modern Realm. So, that leaves the Witch Realm, Cultivation Realm, Post-Apocalyptic Realm, Knight Realm, and the Spirit Realm.”

Mia took a moment to think about the world she had learned from her classmates.

“The Witch Realm specializes in potions. We can drink the potion to gain an ability or throw it as a weapon. In fact, the Witch Realm utilizes potion in all kinds of activities, which is interesting. But I can see that you are going to say, ‘Don’t do drugs, kids,’ or something along the line.”

“Hahaha. You might be right. But the people in the Witch Realm call it a potion instead of a drug, right? It doesn’t really sound much different for me though.”

“In that case, we can leave the Witch Realm for another opportunity. Then, how about the Cultivation Realm? If what Li Wei said was right, then we would be in trouble since we would end up provoking an ancient being after some pedophile young masters do something to me and get beaten by you. And that young master calls his elder, and that elder will call the master of the family and so on until you fight an ancient being in that realm.”

“Haha. You don’t say. I told you earlier that there are a few ways to solve that problem, right?”

“Yes. Like killing with a borrowed knife or a full display of shame. But let me put this idea aside for a second.” Mia thought about the next world. “How about the Post-Apocalyptic World?”

“What do you know about this world?”

“According to Maya, this world has a hard time finding food due to their situation. And you will turn into zombies if you get bitten. The vaccine has made you immune, but the zombies are evolving, so they can’t really kill them and start a new world. But there are a few interesting things in this place like more developed technology and a weird power.”

“You seem to have a favorable impression of that world.”

“Not really. It’s just sad to see your family turning into zombies. It’s a quite depressing world.”

“Then, how about the next world… the Knight World.” Theo continued.

“Teacher Gareth came from this world, right? I don’t really like this world since it feels like there will be a lot of annoying nobles who will do anything because they have authority. If we go to this place, we’ll surely be in trouble with the king and the politics of the entire country.” Mia shook her head furiously.

“But they indeed have a unique power.”

“Yes. This is the most amazing thing in that world. They have the ability to improve their physical strength beyond the human limit. In fact, their physical strength is the strongest among all the worlds that are connected right now. So, going to that place will definitely be beneficial.”

“If you don’t like it, then we won’t go there.” Theo chuckled. “We will go there with your mother, or probably I will go there with other students on a mission. But that’s for later.”

“Mother will definitely charm those nobles, so no.” Mia pouted. “Instead of talking about that Knight World, it’s better if we discuss the Spirit World.”

“So, what do you have?”

“The Spirit World is quite a fun place. The spirits are like the twins, but they are more fairy-like spirits. They also have a unique way of controlling their essence, considering they have nothing other than essence. So, learning essence manipulation would be something that we can get from this place. It’s just… my power isn’t really related too much to manipulation.”

“So, among those worlds, which one do you want to visit the most?”

“The Knight World will definitely not be something I wish to go to unless it’s necessary. The Witch World seems to be interesting and we don’t know what we will get when entering this world. It’s basically a gamble.

“As for the Cultivation World, if we can stop the ancestor from coming out, then this world is more interesting than the Witch World. A cultivator is about to increase the essence stored inside their body, so I’m kind of wondering if increasing it would increase our assimilation or not. Enjoy new tales from empire

“Last but not least, the Spirit World. While it’s true that it doesn’t really have any setbacks when entering this place, this place is kind of mid. It’s not bad, but I can’t say it’s good either. So, I’m perplexed.”

Mia sighed. It seemed that she couldn’t come to a conclusion, so Theo tried to change the question. “I want you to just think about the world where you will have the most fun. It’s fine not to think about benefits and stuff like that.”

“No way. I’m the daughter of Theodore Griffith. While I can have fun, I’m not someone who makes decisions without careful thought.” Mia puffed her chest proudly. “Besides, as long as I’m with you, I will be the happiest.”

Theo smiled but didn’t respond to her so as to avoid affecting her decision. He just waited for her to reach a conclusion.

After contemplating for a few minutes, Mia smirked as though she had thought of a brilliant place to visit. “Dad. I think we should go to…”
