Requesting a Food

Mio was quite shocked to see that Somi was that happy because she gets to read so many books, if it was any other normal children, they might have already thrown a tantrum as kids reading a book with no pictures or colors would be the most boring thing that they can do. Little children have short attention spans so reading a book that is full of words and no pictures is sure to be boring for them.

But, unlike any other little kid, Somi was different. She was happy to hear that she was gonna get to read tons of new books, for her knowledge was everything, and it was partially because it was one of the few things that her Mother had taught her. Somi already liked reading because it helped her calm down a lot and also took away her boredom easily, it didn't matter what is the story or book about, as long as it was entertaining and interesting in her eyes, she would read it without hesitation.

"I'll bring them to you tomorrow since it's quite inconvenient for now. If I had known that you would be so ecstatic about it, I would have gotten it on my way. Oh yes, it's almost lunchtime, do you want to go out for lunch or we can just go out for dinner and eat lunch at home?" Mio gave Somi a choice before taking a book that was on the table to look at and when she saw it, she almost dropped it to the ground.

"Business and Finances for the Experts"

Reading that title made her bone shiver because of how embarrassing it was, but it was one of her books that she made. But it was not because of the title that she dropped it, but it was the book itself because just like the title, it was all about building a business, basically being an entrepreneur. It was a very complex book and Mio couldn't believe that at such a young age, Somi was reading it, and she couldn't help but doubt if she could understand any of them.

She was not looking down at her, but she was just too young to be reading such books. Even some successful entrepreneurs are having a hard time comprehending the contents of the book that she wrote. But it was because most of the things that she wrote were about being selfish but still somehow kind. The book is just about taking every advantage that you could get even if you trample on your enemies, but not your workers. In the end, the main point is that never become too kind, or else you will get eaten.

"Oh wow… you actually read this. I'm embarrassed now because almost all of my business now belongs to someone." Mio said as she stared at Somi to see her reaction, but she only tilted her head at her before answering her.

"Yeah… I'm actually inspired by my Mother. It's actually quite funny, in the Immortal Realm she is called the Goddess of Wealth, everyone is terrified of her but at the same time they want to strike a business with her." Somi chuckled before continuing.

"But I kind of doubt that, I'm sure that you just let other people manage that business of yours. This book… I actually like it a lot, it's probably one of my favorite books that I have read, especially this part right here." Somi said as she gently took the book from Mio's hands before flipping the page to look at something.

When she found it, she pointed it out with her fingers and when Mio read the part that Somi wanted her to read, she was even more embarrassed because it was a quote that she made for this book. She would have never expected that Somi would like it so much to the point where she said that it was one of her favorite books out of all the books that she read.

"You want something, right? Then you should fight for it, not beg or wish. You will not get what you want if you are not strong. Because at the end of the day, you're the one who makes your fate."

"I like it a lot because it not only says a lot about the true hardship of being a business person, but it also says a lot about life. You are the one who makes your fate because it is your life." Somi showed a little smile and when Mio saw it, she just smiled at it before thanking for her liking her book so much.

But behind that smile, she began to think if she should put any more quotes or speeches in her books, but when she remembered that almost all of her books have such things, she became depressed at that thought. But there was nothing that she could do about it anymore, she couldn't just hide them since she already promised that she would give her the books.

"Thank you for the compliment, Lady Somi. Then I hope that you also enjoyed my other books that you have read as well as the other books that I will be giving you." Mio smiled a little forcefully as she just relented and accepted her fate that Somi would be able to read all of her takes about life.

"I look forward to it. But I think I want to eat lunch here. Your food is really good, I enjoyed it very much. At least I think it is better than the food that we got for breakfast the other day." Somi answered as she began reading again while still keeping her attention on Mio.

"I see… then I will start cooking now. Do you have any preference that you want me to cook? You don't have to worry about me because I know every single recipe that is on Earth. I'm sure that you have read or even seen some food while you watch TV." Mio said with a confident tone that she was not lying when she could cook all the dishes that are on Earth, she even knew some food that had already been erased from history because of the tragic event.

"Then… can you make that roast pork belly? When I saw it, there was only one thought in my mind, I wanted to try it. But I don't have any money for it. The money that Mother gave it is useless in here." Somi said what she wanted to eat.
