Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

Chapter 173 You Are Scaring All The Fish Away



I tried to read, but that went over as well as you would expect with the way Calishora was going at the drinks. After the first two, I forced her to open them herself. That slowed her down a bit, but she wasn\'t a couple billion-year-old dragon for nothing.

"I can see why mother wouldn\'t want us to have this stuff! It\'s too good! How do you ever get anything down with all these different flavors?!" Calishora asked with a bit of a slur, popping the top off her sixth drink. I had made sure that each one was different, but the mixed alcohol was going to catch up with her.

"Don\'t worry, you will learn later why we don\'t drink all the time," I said with a chuckle, my eyes glued to my phone.

I could access the internet or at least things that I had accessed before, so I was trying to see if there was anything I could get from this. Even when I got the power back on, the internet wasn\'t just going to start working again.

What I wanted to do was create something like the internet but have it connected through the trees. I wasn\'t completely sure how I was going to do that yet, but Mr. Tree could act as the internet police.

In my time, the internet had become a cesspool for fake news and information, among other things. There was also the darker side of the net, but all these things could be fixed with proper monitoring. The problem was that it was the worldwide internet, but every country had run on its own rules.

Division was no longer going to work, and I wasn\'t going to stand for anyone\'s shit. Mr. Tree would watch the new internet when the time came. I knew that my dream of a perfect world was never going to happen, but I could work towards the best version I could make it. If I was going to make the world bigger in the future, I was going to have to have good control of the people in it.

What did that actually mean to me, though?

Control.

Was I just supposed to hold it all and point everyone in the directions that I assumed best for them? Did I stand behind them and only step in when it was needed? Or was I just sitting back and hoping for the best?

"You are making that thinking face again," Calishora said, and I was pulled from my thoughts. I had been spacing out on my phone, so I put it away. There was nothing there that could help me.

"Just trying to figure out how to make everyone get along and work together. You know, without forcing them to do it," I said with a sigh.

"Are you not the king?" Calishora asked, and I shrugged.

"To most, but I am not accepting of all humans. There are a good number of people that refuse to change," I said.

"Then let them die. The ones that are willing to listen to you are the most faithful. Those people will do as you say. If not, then you can kill some of them to make an example," Calishora suggested, but I shook my head with a smile.

"No, that is not how I do things. I do like to make and set examples, but not by killing people. That will make me no better than Tiamat or Alpha," I said as I watched the bobbers floating on the water. We hadn\'t had a single bite yet, and I had already recast twice on both lines.

"It does not sound like you are trying to be better than them. Both of them have full control over their people," Calishora explained and took a drink from a chocolate milk cooler, emptying it.

"Oh yes, full control. That is why you, Tiamat\'s own daughter, are willing to come over to my side," I said with a smirk, and Calishora blinked at me.

"Oh. Well, you do make a very good point," Calishora said as she bent down to fish out a tall can from the lunch bag. "Is this the same horse piss that you are drinking?"

"Nope, that is a caesar. I would try to describe how it tastes, but they aren\'t flavors that you would be used to. It is much more hearty than the coolers," I explained, and Calishora cracked open the can with a small snapping hiss.

I watched as Calishora put the can up to her nose to the spicy caesar, pulling back right away.

"What is this?! There are chemicals in this that will burn your mouth! Are you trying to poison me?!" Calishora demanded, and I nodded with a smile.

"You have been poisoning yourself this entire time, silly. Alcohol is a poison; what you are smelling is the tabasco sauce or whatever hot sauce they are using. I don\'t know if you will like it, but you might as well try it. If you don\'t like it, I will drink it for you," I explained, and Calishora nodded.

"I will try this thing. You, humans, drink strange things," Calishora said, shaking her head and then taking a drink.

She didn\'t drain this can, and as soon as she was done drinking, Calishora started to cough.

"My mouth is on fire! Why would you do something like this to yourself?!"

"Personally, I like to put hot sauce on everything! Eggs are the best! God, I haven\'t had a good meal in ages!" I laughed, but it was true. My body had no need for food, and I didn\'t crave it in the real world.

That did not stop me from having a plate with two poached eggs, sliced ham on English muffins, and hollandaise sauce. A bottle of Franks was in my other cup holder, and I flipped the top to squirt it into the creamy, rich yellow sauce.

"What is that?"

"Eggs benedict. One of my favorite breakfasts," I said as I cut a portion and put it in my mouth, closing my eyes in ecstasy.

"Can I try?" Calishora asked.

I opened my eyes and looked over to find the can of caesar on the floor of the boat.

*BUUUURP!*

"What was that?!" Calishora asked in surprise as her hand went over the mouth that the loud burp had just escaped.

"This is what happens when you drink too fast," I said with a chuckle and then cut her off some of my food, holding it up for Calishora. "Here, try this."

Calishora\'s cheeks were starting to get pinker, and she leaned forward to slowly bite down on the fork. Then she tried to bite through the fork, but I grabbed her by the cheeks.

"Don\'t eat the damn fork, woman!" I growled as she growled feral back at me as I tried to take the fork from her, almost spilling my plate.

I finally got the fork out, and Calishora started to chew the food. Her eyes closed, and she made an erotic moan as she slowly slowed the food. When she was done, her eyes opened, and she turned back to me.

"More, please," Calishora asked cutely, opening her mouth.

"I can just get you a plate," I said, but Calishora closed her mouth and shook her head.

"Mm mmn. I don\'t know how to use that tool. Please feed me more," Calishora asked, putting her hands together, and I sighed. It was hard to say no to her when she was being cute like this.

I also would probably incur her wrath if I denied her. I was the one that gave her the first drink, and now I was going to have to sleep in the bed I had made.

Once the plate finished and refilled three more times, Calishora leaned back, rubbing her belly. The pink in her cheeks had started to settle down, and she didn\'t bother going for another drink, which was a good thing.

*Bloop!*

I looked over at the noise, and I jumped up.

"Cali! Grab your rod! You got a bite!" I said as I watched the red and white float bobbing.

"What do I do?!" Cali shouted as she jumped up, tripped on her bottles, and then unceremoniously fell out of the boat with a scream.

I slapped my hand to my face and considered if I should reel the fish first.

"I am drowning! I can\'t swim!" Calishora screamed from the water, and I rolled my eyes.

"Quit making a fuss. You are scaring all the fish away," I complained.

"I AM DROWNING!"

"No, you are flailing in neck-deep water is what you are doing," I sighed as I looked over at the non-bobbing bobber.

Once Calishora was back in the boat, I dried her off with a towel, but she wasn\'t talking to me now.

It wasn\'t my fault she fell out, but in truth, I had mostly laughed and was not that helpful.

"Are you ready to go back now?" I asked, and I watched the angry face turn into something that looked scared.

"Back?" Calishora asked, giving me a worried look, but I shook my head.

"Not your back, my back. I am taking you home with me, but before I do, I am going to take over your body. This is something that I am going to need your permission for," I explained as we were suddenly standing in the starship where Calishora\'s real body lay dormant.

"Why?" Calishora asked as she looked around in surprise.

"I am going to make sure that your ship never gets to Earth."
