Another Stupid Isekai

Two weeks passed by in a blink of an eye. With Tihana angry with me I wasn’t able to spend much time with her since she was just avoiding me, so I focused more on Sudarshana, and our work together.

We managed to go halfway through one position of alien poetry. It was hard to keep the meaning of those poems while switching words to English since there was much lost in transition, co sometimes we just did few sentences despite working for hours.

I noticed changes to the city. The medical teams working on their healing magic were part of it, but the television coming was another, even stronger culprit.

I couldn’t understand it, but apparently, publicity gets people all railed up. Everybody was talking just about this first show that was to show up. In a couple more days there were also supposed to arrive people from another one, and the streamers. Unfortunately for Dustin, he couldn’t stay that long.

His time in Ark passed, and Will flew him back to the United States. The boy cried, but we just couldn’t keep him longer.

Eventually, the day of arrival came. According to the deal, Wuxia was providing the filming equipment, for which they were paid in Earthly money. They were also providing lodging in barracks for the staff and the stars.

We had no idea who is going to come since we were a bit cut off, and also the TV station kept it a secret. All I knew was that the show face, who apparently always went on the trips with the stars, and helped them survive was coming for sure. The guy’s name was Kim Soo-geun. But I wasn’t very interested in this whole affair, so maybe there were more juicy informations there.

I just came to the research facility as I used to every day. Technically to pick up Tihana, but really to get miss Patel.

There was quite a crowd gathered in front of the gate hall, waiting for the stars. Surprisingly most of them were Indian reporters, with temporary passes. They had polaroids bought in Ark, and notebooks, which was very annoying for them, but my barriers were merciless for the electronics, so they had to figure something out.

The receptionist and newly appointed security got already used to me, just coming in, and waiting in the designated area.

– Hi dad – said Tihana, rushing past me.

I immediately knew where she was going.

– Hey! Just watch from afar like a nice kid! – I shouted after her.

– Ok! – she replied.

– She will be fine – said Sudarshana, as she came to me.

– Yeah I know, but still, I need to remind her. That’s my job.

– You really got into this dad role. It’s kinda interesting.

– Why? – I asked surprised.

– Because I would never suspect you for wanting to be a father.

– Well, she wasn’t a planned kid…

She laughed.

[0)ᴠʟ – Definitely not by you, and you should never tell her that.

– I know – I winked at her. – Are we going to get some work done today?

– Yeah. I hope we can finish this next month.

– Oh… – I said while standing up. – I wasn’t actually talking about translation.

She frowned immediately and punched me in the chest slightly.

– Are all your thoughts dirty?

– Only the ones about you.

– Can’t you be more romantic.

– I’ll be romantic all night long with you in my bed.

She grabbed my arm and started pulling me to the exit, as she looked over her shoulder if somebody heard that.

– I love when you are this shy – I whispered to her.

– And I don’t like when you are embarrassing me – she replied.

We got outside just as the ruckus started. Although the famous people didn’t arrive yet, the staff did, and cameramen, writers, directors, sound experts, all of them were surrounded by reporters asking tons of questions.

It was kind of funny since most of them couldn’t even understand since they didn’t speak English. Some women took the responsibility on her shoulders, though, and started putting off a statement, about the whole endeavor.

It became oddly quiet when all the people suddenly had to write everything down, and couldn’t just shout more words at her.

I noticed Tihana, standing there, and trying to look over people, but she was just too short, even standing on her toes. Sudarshana saw it and stopped.

– Maybe we should make sure, she goes back home? – she suggested.

– Maybe… Maybe I should take her to my place for tonight.

– She won’t go – she immediately pointed out. – And you are being overprotective right now. Let’s just hang around a bit here, pretending like we are talking, and when she leaves, we will go.

We did just that, talking mostly about our current translation project since that was the most potent topic we had. Then we switched to the construction of my home in Dwarka, since that was going at full speed towards being finished. I suggested she would help me with the furniture when it’s all done.

All this time we watched over the crowd, which soon went crazy when the famous people showed up. It was still kinda strange with all the polaroids and writing. I noticed how annoyed were the reporters, which almost made me laugh.

Wuxia soldiers had to step in and make the path for the show stars since the journalists wouldn’t let them go. Tihana followed them, and we decided to follow her a bit, but she stopped as soon as the whole group went to the headquarters to meet with Hatta.

– See? It all want ok – said Sudarshana as we both observed my fake daughter heading towards Boris’s place.

– Yeah… Maybe I’m overreacting, but something tells me she will want to get involved if she sees an opportunity.

– Then maybe you should get involved with her? To make sure everything is fine.

– You know how I feel about this…

– Yea, I do – she smiled at me. – Let’s go, we have work to do.

So I shadow walked us to my house, and the rest of the day went as usual.

This period of time came to an end with 24 345 240 points remaining on my account, and 21 class points.
