Celia: After Dying in the Apocalypse, I Live Once Again!

Chapter 156: Oddly Serious Debate...

All smiles, we then let Celia go have fun; teaching a few of the wives, daughters, and friends how to cook. Of course, they’d likely forget everything in a few years, but fun is fun, you see. As for the rest of the harem… we were joined in one room.

Other than Celia’s wives, Zelia, Eternanel, and Nemu were here as well. After all, this was a discussion… regarding Pure Mana, one which couldn’t involve our wife. Celia was always made of Pure Mana, so her theory is 100% correct. And while Celia is now intentionally adding Pure Mana into the meals she prepares; she isn’t a yandere, and Celia sees it as no more than… seasoning.

Vulely: “So, the verdict is still not out. Have we all been cannibalizing Celia this whole time?” I asked with a serious tone.

Zia: “Technically, we have, but… that depends on your personal views. Is eating her Pure Mana fine and normal, nothing extreme… or is it us literally eating tiny pieces of her?” She expressed with a thinking pose.

Selfros: “There aren’t any sex acts that I know of… regarding the eating of Cultivator energy sources. So I don’t find anything wrong with what Celia is doing.” She said with an unbothered shrug.

Guanyu: “I feel the same.” She added with a nod, agreeing with Selfros, which is rare.

Vulely: “…”

Ah, this is no good. The Cultivators are all ancient, so they don’t care even slightly. As for my sister wives… a few are yanderes, so they’re hot and bothered from this new knowledge; while the rest and I are… conflicted.

Philosophical debates are… a major problem subject for Higher Beings. Most of us lack morals of Mortals, but philosophical things plague us far more than it does the short-lived beings. If Celia was always doing it intentionally, then it wouldn’t be so conflicting. Now there’s a new consent and love question added to our minds.

Nemu: “Aren’t you all just being too… childish?” She proposed with her arms crossed, looking bored, letting out a yawn.

Ria: “Childish? How so? You’ve been eating Celia as well, Nemu. Doesn’t that feel… a bit wrong?” She replied with a raised eyebrow.

Eternanel: “It isn’t so literal. This is not even close to being the same thing as like Celia… putting her blood into our food. Please recall what Mana is.” She explained in her daughter’s stead with a sigh.

Vulely: “Mana…? Please clarify what you mean.” I requested with a curious tone.

Nemu: “Mana is used, consumed, and given to the target. For example: Healing Magic. Are you eating someone when you get healed by them?” She answered with a giggle.

Vulely: “…”

Nemu: “No, you aren’t. That’s common knowledge! Celia isn’t breaking off pieces of herself, and then putting said pieces into food. She is simply… using Pure Mana for a unique application.” She lectured with a smug tone and expression.

Xena: “Are you certain of this, Nemu?” She asked with an uncertain tone.

Zelia: “If Celia was actually doing that… then Celia would have died a long time ago.” She answered for Nemu, tone that of complete confidence.
