Evolution begins with an ant colony-Chapter 301 The Waifu War Begins
Tatilia's hand firmly grasped Akun's, her fingers entwined with his as she pulled him through the bustling crowd. Her pace was swift, and Akun had to quicken his steps to keep up with her.
"Where are you taking me?" Akun called out over the noise of the crowd, his voice laced with curiosity.
Tatilia turned to him with a mischievous glint in her golden eyes, her lips curled into a playful smile. "It's a surprise!" she replied, her voice carrying excitement and anticipation.
Akun chuckled, feeling the thrill of the unexpected. He allowed himself to be led by Tatilia, his curiosity piqued as he wondered what surprise awaited him amidst the lively festivities.
Amidst the vibrant festivities, the aroma of sweet honey wafted through the air, drawing Akun's attention as Tatilia led him to a bustling food stall. Run by a group of evolved bees, the stall was a hive of activity, with customers of various races gathered around, eagerly sampling the delectable treats on offer.
Kaldarix, catching sight of Akun, waved enthusiastically and called out, "Evening, Father!"
Meanwhile, Mellin bowed respectfully and greeted Akun, "Evening, Master."
Returning their greetings with a soft smile, Akun nodded in acknowledgment. His gaze wandered to the array of pancakes being served, each one drizzled with golden honey. A faint flush colored his cheeks as he realized the source of the honey. "Wait... They're selling their honey... That same honey?" he murmured to himself, a mixture of surprise and curiosity flickering in his eyes.
Tatilia, noticing Akun's interest, called out to the bees running the stall, "Hey, could you prepare some pancakes for Master here?" Her tone turned slightly playful as she added, "Using my special honey, please." She blushed right after.
"Yes my queen." The evolved bees replied, buzzing with enthusiasm, immediately set to work, their wings fluttering as they gathered ingredients and began making more pancakes.
Akun's brows furrowed slightly in curiosity as Tatilia's words lingered in the air. "Special honey?" he murmured, his tone laced with intrigue.
Tatilia's smile widened, a mischievous glint dancing in her golden eyes as she leaned in closer to Akun. "Yes, something I made just for you, Master," she whispered, her voice soft and alluring.

A flicker of surprise flashed across Akun's features at Tatilia's intimate gesture. "You made it for me?" he echoed, his voice tinged with disbelief.
Tatilia nodded, her golden hair swaying gently with the movement. "Yes," she affirmed, her gaze locked with Akun's. "For you."
Akun cleared his throat, a hint of uncertainty clouding his expression as he struggled to decipher Tatilia's intentions. "Thank you," he replied cautiously, his voice betraying his inner turmoil. "I appreciate it."
Inwardly, Akun couldn't help but muse about Tatilia's motives. "Special honey? Made by her for me? What is she up to." He blushed slightly. A past if him had an idea of what was going on, but he prevented his thoughts from wandering into uncharted territory. Discover exclusive content at novelbuddy
Just then, Hestria emerged beside them, her breath slightly labored from chasing after them. "I finally caught up." She mummerd with labored breathing.
Hestria's chest rose and fell with each labored breath as she cast a questioning glance at Akun. "Master, what are we doing here?" she inquired, her voice tinged with exhaustion from chasing after them.
Tatilia's expression tightened at the sound of Hestria's voice addressing Akun as "master." A flicker of irritation danced in her eyes as she clenched her jaw, her demeanor tensing with unease.
Before Akun could respond to Hestria's question, Tatilia interjected, her voice cutting through the air with a hint of sharpness. "We're here to enjoy some pancakes," she declared, her tone firm and assertive.
Tatilia's golden eyes narrowed with suspicion as she faced Hestria, her posture tense and defensive. "And who might you be?" she demanded, her tone sharp with accusation. "What business do you have at Master's side?"
Hestria, undeterred by Tatilia's hostility, stood tall, her expression calm. "I am Hestria, a loyal servant of Master," she replied calmly, her voice carrying a hint of authority. "I accompany him wherever he goes, ensuring his safety and well-being."
Tatilia's lip curled in disdain, her wings buzzing with agitation. "Is that so?" she scoffed, taking a step closer to Hestria. "And what makes you think you're capable of such a role? Dose master really look that weak to you?"
Hestria's gaze remained steady, her hands clenched at her sides. "No he doesn't, but that doesn't change the fact my loyalty and dedication to Master are unquestionable," she asserted firmly. "I will protect him with my life if necessary."
Tatilia's eyes flashed with defiance, her wings buzzing louder with agitation. "We'll see about that," she muttered, her voice dripping with disdain. "Master deserves only the best by his side."
Their confrontation crackled with tension, both women standing their ground, each determined to prove her worthiness to stand by Akun's side.
Akun's brow furrowed in concern as he observed the tense atmosphere between Hestria and Tatilia. Thoughts raced through his mind as he thought about the situation. With a heavy sigh, he muttered to himself, "Is this a famed waifu war? Are they about to fight over me?" He shifted uneasily, a sense of responsibility weighing on his shoulders.
"I should get them to stop before they escalate things further," he resolved, preparing to intervene before matters worsened.
But before he could utter a word, a disembodied voice echoed through the air, addressing Tatilia directly. "And who are you to decide what's best for master?." The sudden intrusion caught everyone off guard, suddenly a rift materialized and Chrono Nexus stepped out.
Her presence commanding attention as she fixed her gaze on Tatilia and Hestria. Invisible currents seemed to crackle between the women, a silent exchange of power and will.
Without breaking her stride, Chrono Nexus swiftly approached Akun, enveloping him in an embrace. "Long time no see, master," she remarked, her voice tinged with familiarity and a hint of mischief.
Akun tapped her head as he said. "Chrono Nexus, I don't remember calling for you,"
Glancing back at Hestria and Tatilia, Chrono Nexus offered a cryptic explanation. "With so much competition, I would be a fool to not show up."
