Chapter 197 Tragedy
"Hey, isn't this a teacup?"
Darkness glanced around to the side and then spoke, rendering Houst's attempt to conceal his intentions ineffective.
"Listen to me, I just wanted to help you tidy up these cups, but I didn't expect them to be so fragile. They broke with just a gentle squeeze."
Houster wanted to explain something, but Xiaomi's mouth had already pursed.
"Mom and Dad asked Xiaomi to watch the house, but Xiaomi didn't do a good job and actually let the family's important 'tragedy' break..."
Xiaomi's eyes welled up with tears.
"Aren't they just some cups?"
Houst didn't expect the girl to react so strongly, and he blurted out something on his own.
"Oh no! There's a demon here who's made the children cry!"
Aqua's other abilities are hard to say, but she is quite adept at kicking demons when they're down, and she immediately started making sarcastic remarks from the side.
"As expected, a devil is a devil. 'It's just some cups,' huh? Don't you even know what kind of family this kid comes from?"
Under Aqua's verbal onslaught, Houst couldn't hold back any longer. More importantly, he actually absorbed some of Xiaomi's sad and negative emotions.
"Hey, little one..."
I meant to say ghost, but it ended up being rice.
"Please stop crying. At worst, I'll go outside and steal some cups right now. I guarantee they'll be much better than your broken ones!"
Houst was a devil who didn't know how to comfort people, and his words made Xiaomi even sadder.
Xiaomi kicked its thick thigh, then revealed its little tiger teeth and shouted at it somewhat fiercely, "Xiaomi's cups don't break! They're the best cups!"
"Do you need me to purify this demon for you? Don't worry, I don't charge for purifying demons."
Aqua quickly moved closer and volunteered herself to Xiaomi.
"I think if you did something wrong, you should apologize properly."
Broly said to Houst from the side.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault."
Houst glanced at the boy who had easily knocked him down, then at the little girl with tears in her eyes, and finally chose to apologize honestly.
however……
"That's not how you apologize. You should do a dogeza (a deep bow in apology). Wait, what's a dogeza? A dogeza is..."
Broly generously taught Houst the apology techniques he had learned in the first world. Then, the grayish-blue demon made a deep bow in front of Xiaomi and sincerely apologized. Xiaomi wiped away her tears and quickly forgave him.
"You are Xiaomi's familiar, and if the familiar is wrong, it's Xiaomi's fault. Xiaomi will sincerely apologize to Mom and Dad!"
This is a child who is willing to take responsibility, which Aqua is somewhat disappointed about because she was unable to take the opportunity to eliminate the demon next to her.
Houst was both surprised and touched. He pointed to the shards of the clay cup on the ground and said, "Let me try again and see if I can make them into cups again."
"Um?"
Broly leaned closer and asked, "Can this be made back into a cup?"
"I'm not sure, but I once saw how the people who made this thing made it when I passed by their homes."
Those people mixed water and clay, spun it around on a plate, and once it took shape, they fired it. That's how they made the cup.
As he spoke, Houst demonstrated by crushing the shards of the clay cup into powder with his fist and then pouring water into the powder.
Then, he kneaded and rubbed it with his big hands, like playing with mud. You know what, although he looked like a rough and unruly devil, he was surprisingly skillful. Houst made some decent-looking tragedies just with his hands.
"Fireball!"
After cooking with magical flames, Broly witnessed another unorthodox use of magic: the demon Houst used the flames he summoned to directly scorch the clay cups on the ground.
As expected, a cracking sound rang out, and the finished clay cup broke apart, turning into the fragments we had seen earlier.
"I don't know why, but every time I get to this step, the cup always cracks on its own. The humans who made these cups must have used some kind of magic I don't know about!"
When Houst said this, he looked very confident.
Wiz and Darkness looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
"Pfft, you stupid devil, of course you'll crack the clay cup if you burn it like that."
Aqua then laughed.
"Hey, do you, the high priest, know how to make cups?"
The demon looked over.
"Of course."
Aqua is a treasure goddess; she always possesses some strange hidden abilities.
"Please teach me how to make this cup!"
"Host requested."
"Ha, what a joke! You expect me, a goddess, to teach a demon how to make a tragedy?"
Aqua, of course, refused, however...
"Master Aqua, I want to make a tragedy too!"
Broly also pleaded.
There are no cups on Planet Wanpa. In the past, the shells left over from the Wanpa spiders' meals were used as water storage containers for rainwater.
Thinking back to when I returned to Wanpa Star, having already achieved water freedom, I knew I would definitely need better water-carrying tools.
As a result, Broly also developed a great interest in making tragedies.
. . . .
"Sigh, another day without business."
As Piao Sanlang sighed, the woman behind him slapped him on the head.
"Whose fault is this? A customer had already taken a liking to our magical artifacts, but you insisted that he was a clueless person and that you wouldn't sell magical artifacts to someone who didn't know their value, so you just kicked him out..."
Weiwei clenched her fists, wanting to punch her husband on the head. She used to like him because he had a strong personality.
However, because of their highly individualistic nature, some of the exquisite magical items they create are now difficult to sell.
She didn't care about hardship when she was young, thinking that as long as there was love, everything would be fine. But after having two lovely daughters, the family's difficulties made this mother bow her head to the cruel reality of the world.
"Honey, I'm not against you choosing your customers, but you also need to think about our family's dire financial situation. If we don't earn some money soon, we'll all go hungry!"
"I'll definitely make money with my wife, but if I abandon my principles as a magical artifact craftsman just to make money, then the magical artifacts I make in the future will definitely lose their soul... What the hell?"
Halfway through his sentence, Piao Sanlang widened his eyes and uttered an interjection.
What did he see?
A group of people are playing in the mud in front of their own house?
And there's a demon playing with fire nearby?
. . . .
"The most important thing in making cups is controlling the heat. We must strictly ensure that the cups are heated evenly during the firing process!"
Aqua is like a serious and responsible instructor of tragedy, with her hands behind her back, strictly instructing her students on how to make tragedy.
"I did it!"
Finally, after more than half an hour, as Xiaomi's parents walked home in the shadows of the setting sun, the first cup was successfully fired.
A group of people and a demon were surrounding a terracotta cup that had been fired on the ground. The scene was very strange, as if some kind of evil ritual was being performed.
"Xiaomi, what are you doing?"
After cautiously approaching with his wife, Piao Sanlang suddenly asked his youngest daughter in the crowd.
Hearing the sound, Xiao Mi turned around and saw that her parents had returned. She was very happy and, not caring that the cup was still a little hot from being cooled down, picked it up and put it on her head before running to Piao Sanlang and Weiwei.
"Mom and Dad, look! These are the new cups I just made. Now we won't have to worry about cups anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Piao Sanlang and Weiwei exchanged bewildered glances.
At that moment, the man saw his old friend, Wiz.
His eyes lit up, and he immediately inquired about the situation from Miss Lich.
