Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Four, Seven

Third Person’s POV

Penelope arrived at the stream where the others were waiting.

"If all of you are done, let’s exit the space so Aunt Lucy and Ben can take a proper shower. I am sure they would love a nice hot bath." Penelope said as she stood next to Erik.

"That sounds lovely, darling. How do I exit?" Aunt Lucy asked. You could tell she was uncomfortable. The grime and scent was a bit too strong for her.

"All you have to do is think ’out’ or ’exit’ and you will be back into the living room." This time it was Kai who answered.

Aunt lucy thanked him and left the space. Aunt Mary, Kai and Ben also decided to follow. The only one who did not exit was Erik.

He was looking at Penelope with a smile.

"What’s the matter?" Penelope asked him.

"Penny, I was thinking...You mentioned that we would be experiencing weather changes as well. Do you know how bad will it get? Should we consider relocating?" Erik asked.

Penelope stayed quiet for a brief while. She started to consider this possibility. Eventually the terrain where their house and her home were located would be unhabitable.

"Perhaps. To be honest, I know we will experience extreme rain, which will cause major flooding. Then Extreme cold, where everything will be iced out. Afterwards it’s the extreme Heat. Those are the major three weather changes that I recall from my dream. I had completely forgotten about this. With the extreme rain, the homes in this area are bound to be flooded. It would not be safe to stay here." she said.

"That’s exactly what I was thinking. I think that we should consider leaving this place tomorrow morning. While chaos has not erupted." Erik said once again.

"Hmmm....That’s a good idea, but where would we go? We would have to consider the building’s endurance. Preferably apartment building since they have many floors. I am not sure how bad the flooding would be. All these extreme weather changes seem to last 3 months long each, or longer. Then we would also need to consider accommodations. Realistically, we cannot cramp all of us in one single apartment. People would suspect. We also need protections." Penelope felt a headache coming. Again, why couldn’t she transmigrate 3 months prior to the apocalypse like most female leads in the novels?

"Well....I do have a specific place in mind. Do you remember the condominiums dad gifted us in his will? We own the top 5 floors. 10 condominium suites under our names. Kai and I own both condominiums on the 21st and 22nd floor. You own the remaining condominiums on the 23-25th floor. Including us having access to the rooftop. I think that should work. The building was built with the best construction materials, meant to withstand natural disasters. I believe that would be our best choice. The only downfall is that, once the power goes off, we would need to walk more than 20 floors up the stairs." Erik was genuinely worried about this matter. It was okay for Kai and Ben to walk that, but Penelope is a girl. She should not strain herself so much.

"20? That’s it? We can manage. This is good. We need to also train our stamina. Working out will help us with our future superpowers. With Aunt Mary and Aunt Lucy staying in the space, it would just be us and Killian." She said.

"Oh right, I forgot about this Killian fellow." Erik said.

"Brother, I was thinking of something...What if we tell Killian that one of us awaked a space superpower. That way he won’t question when we start storing supplies away?" Penelope said.

"Hmm...That’s a great Idea. This will keep you safe from prying eyes. We can say it’s either one of us men. No one would come after you then." Erik said.

"P, I was thinking of something else..... Do you think you could store our house into the space? If we can construct homes, is it possible to bring already built homes inside?" Erik said.

Penelope stayed quiet for a while. She had not thought of this possibility at all.

’Oddy, is it possible?’

’Master, Let me double check with the upper management...Upper management confirmed... Yes you can. You can bring in anything. Just ensure that you cut off all electrical wiring to prevent accidents. Our power system will provide natural energy that would power your home. However, please keep in mind that for that, you will need to personally bring the homes into the space. As owner of the space.’ Oddy said with a smile. He really liked his master’s elder brother. He just made his job a lot easier. Oddy was not really excited about having to build a home from scratch. Only he knew how much work that would be for him.

"Brother, yes we can. We just need to cut off all electrical wiring. To prevent accidents. We can bring this home in and my home too. We would have two homes here. Maybe we can go to Ben’s house to bring his inside too?" Penelope thought this space was just too convenient.

"If we did this, we wouldn’t have to worry about our living conditions here...." he was rubbing his chin with his right hand as he thought for a moment.

"Penny, should we try to put the home inside before we leave tomorrow? Maybe, let’s head out a dawn."

"Brother, you must be a genie cause you just read my mind." Penelope said grinning.

Erik just laughed and rubbed her hair. "Okay, now that that’s settled, out we go" and poof, like magic. He disappeared.

"He acts all aloof and indifferent, but honestly, he’s much more childish than Kai sometimes." she muttered and left the space.

From the cave came a majestic looking Phoenix calling out ’Oddy, brother, Oddy come out’

’Yes Lya, how can I help you?’

"Brother, can you tell me something. What is going on with my sister’s memories. they are all mumble jumbo. I feel like I can’t grasp her memories well.’ Alyanna said in a child like tone.

’You noticed it too? I am not too sure either.’

’Brother, she has memories of four different past lives. You need to report this to your higher ups. What if her soul was damaged during this transmigration?’

’Four? Shouldn’t she have all 7?’ He asked bewilder. He clearly remembered her having 7 lifetimes.

The phoenix cocked her head to the side and said ’That’s what I don’t understand. Why can’t she remember her other 3 past lives?’

’I’m not too sure either, I’ll send a report out to upper management.’ Oddy said confusedly.

’Okay brother, I’ll be at my cave if you need anything.’

’Alright, you just worry about upgrading your powers for now. I’ll ask if I can get you some shinier gems to eat.’ with that, oddy disappeared.
