Chapter 386: CH.379 HomeBase Grand Reveal, part 5

Tea and Factory VR

 

With our dragon flights, and the surprising addition of dragon evolutions done, it was time for tea. Before heading back inside, I gathered up all of Agunan’s old scales and put them into Storage. I’ll ask Agunan later what he wants to do with them. If he doesn’t know or just let’s me decide, I might use some of them as experimental scales so that Wilma and I learn how to work with dragon scales before we mess up with Lady Janina’s scales. 

Agunan’s scales were also interesting in some ways. Like Lady Janina’s scales, when mana was put into them, the scales reacted. But unlike with Lady Janina’s that just let out light, Agunan’s scales caught on fire when mana was put into them. And the fire they let out was strange, as it didn’t actually burn me at all, but when I brought out a piece of scrap fabric from Storage, the cloth burned away completely. So the fire is somehow selective. I’ll run some more tests on it later, let’s get back to the tea.

 

And coffee/hot cocoa/few other warm drinks that you could choose from. Tea was just the most common in this kingdom as both coffee and cocoa have to be imported from the Crystal Empire. 

But for me that is no problem as I can make both with HomeBase. And if anyone asks, I just flew over to the Empire and bought some. No one will know that I didn’t do that.

Also, because a certain duo of Dragonmaids went way overboard in the kitchen, the assortment of sweets we had to offer was more than what a busy coffee shop would sell in a month. And when I asked them why they made so much, they just said it wasn’t their fault. That the others talked them into it. 

Well, I don’t really blame them, as it isn’t really a problem. At the end of the day, I can just take the rest of the sweets into Storage. But they better not go overboard again until I’ve at least dented what I currently have.

 

Unlike with lunch, the tea snacks were laid out on a table where you could get anything you wanted. Tinkhec was standing next to the table, giving them out and explaining what everything was, but it was still basically a snack buffet. The drinks were served to the tables.
