Wouldn’t hurt to have the Kais give their opinions on something like this, y’know?”
Lapis nods. “A fair assessment. Just a word of precaution, though, you can spread some of the burden among the rest of us. I know you want all the options to get things settled before they can go from bad to worse on the table as soon as possible, but don’t try to start shouldering too much of these things.”
“Mm.” you mumble in slight agreement as you finish up the steak and rice. “Well, we can put it off until later. How’s MOGUERA’s work coming along?”
“Even with the distractions, we’ve made some good progress.” Lapis replies with a smile. “Still got a few more hours to go until it’s done, I’d say, but things have gone by without any real hitches.”
“Nice. Anything you might need help with?” you ask as you start to put the dishes away.
“I think we might need a few areas scouted out again, but shouldn’t take much time.” Lapis turns to Chuu Lee. “Though we could take a shift on that task.”
“We could. Let’s check with Krillin when he gets back.” she confirms.
You decide to check in with him directly, asking him telepathically, ‘Hey, Krillmeister, you good? The Hulud-Rah stored away safe somewhere?’
‘Yep! Just settled them in somewhere safe. And… there we go! Okay, back in just a moment.’ And after a beat, Krillin teleports back… carrying two large, flat boxes, one in each hand. “Somebody wanted pizza?”
“PIZZA!” Buu cheers, pumping his arms in the air. “Pizza! Pizza! Pizza! Pizza!” Buu happily takes one of the boxes, opening it up and getting the large cheesy pie… and fits the whole thing in his mouth at once. “Mmmm!”
You chuckle as you watch him chow down, but then a thought crosses your mind. “You know… if this ‘Chorus of Evolution’ that the worms mentioned actually means anything, maybe that’s the key. Probably something to do with some mix of demon realm science and magic and… I dunno, alchemy or something. Bet that means they’re still under Towa’s employ for this. Eh, still makes for some good song lyrics, I think.”
