The blue-haired sorceress bowed her head politely.
- Thank you for the invitation.
- Of course, a friend of Rudeus can enjoy the hospitality of House Boreus.'' - Philippe confirmed politely.
- Pfft, who is this? - Eris muttered unhappily.
- Show more respect for my mentor. - I gave her a stern look.
- More... what..." She tried to snap at me, but when she saw my serious look, she changed her mind. - I apologise.
- Nice to meet you. I'm Roxy Migurdia. And you, I take it, are Philip Boreas Greyrat, my apprentice's uncle? And you, Lady Eris Boreas Greyrat, his student.
- That is correct. - Philip nodded. - Please, you may come in. The servants will take your things to the guest suite.
Of course, I asked my uncle to provide a place in the house for my mentor so she wouldn't have to stay in an inn. In addition, this way we would be closer to each other. And, after the meeting, for a while, we just chatted more.
- Thank you. - Roxy nodded gratefully to the butler, who poured juice into her glass.
He wanted to pour some for me too, but I gestured to stop him and shook my head. After that, I created some water with magic.
- The juice tasted good. - Roxy remarked.
- Ohhh... I didn't tell you about it, did I? - I sighed, "Not long ago I was drugged and kidnapped. I got away with it because those guys were lame. But I don't want to get into a situation like that again....
- Oh... can you elaborate? Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
I have to admit, that episode has instilled in me a certain, perhaps unnecessary, caution. Now I mostly just drink the water I create with my magic. But sometimes I buy juices in town, in more than one place and without any kind of schedule, so that I can't calculate when I'll decide to drink juice and spike it with some kind of poison.
And then, later that evening, I visited Roxy in her room.
Once we were alone, I pulled the girl against me, wrapping her in a tight embrace. Roxy tensed at first, but immediately relaxed and covered her eyes.
- Even though we were texting, I missed her.
- Me too... - The girl replied quietly.
Stroking her, intertwining our fingers, I take her hand. After which I pick up the sorceress in my arms. My strength was quite enough for that now. Although, she's still a bit taller than me and in this position we probably look completely incongruous. Still, I carried her in my arms to the bed.
- You're getting more confident. - Roxy noticed.
- Good.
I lean down and kiss her soft, soft lips.
And just then, coming to my senses, I put a barrier on the room itself and the door. It would be awkward if we were interrupted here. But with the precautions over, I'm on to Roxy herself. I've just cast an anti-conception spell on myself beforehand. It doesn't actually affect my body or my hormones, it just sort of neutralises the sperm. I should be back to normal in a couple of days. It's a complicated spell, though, so it's best to cast it beforehand, while I can still maintain my full concentration.
- Rudy.
- Roxy...
I kiss her again, but now I'm also spreading my arms out a bit.
But to my shock, the sorceress pulls me away from her and looks me in the eyes with a serious look.
- Rudy... let me.
Lifting up, she already kissed me herself. And, I felt a slight current touching my lips. Roxy was using the sex magic from that book! And I wasn't ready to resist it. Especially when her fingers closed around my boner. Even through my clothes I could feel the magic piercing my nerves, heightening my arousal and bringing pleasurable waves of pleasure.
- Tell me how you'd like to do it...I'll do as you say.
- Right now I just want to...kiss you everywhere!
And straightway he pounced on her, kissing her lips, her cheeks, her neck, her shoulders. And then I lift up her dress and touch her tummy with my lips.
- Ahh... stop Roddy I...
- No, I won't stop, Roxy!
Her legs, too. It's a special pleasure, taking off a girl's socks like that, kissing her thighs, and finally her most secret place. And then I guess I just got more energetic during the separation. Or actually more confident.
- Come on, like that time...
Putting my arm around the girl, I rolled over onto my back with her, and Roxy was right on top of me. She just had to lift up a little on her knees so I could pull down my trousers. She took off her dress, leaving me in a thin white shirt and panties. We never fully undressed as we were too eager and engrossed in each other. Well, or I was too infatuated. Perhaps my body had not yet grown enough to cause a girl to become aroused on its own. But, after all, I did possess some special techniques!
Getting comfortable, I also started caressing the sorceress' delicate body with my hands, stroking her smooth skin.
- Mhhh...
And, of course, I used magic too.
In the end, my straining cock was in the loli wizard's tight hole and she began to move her pelvis smoothly.
Again and again, my cock slid into her pussy, but even though we were just getting started, I could barely contain myself anymore. It felt so good inside her that I could already feel the pulsing tension ready to erupt into a powerful eruption. Love magic is too insidious! And, I had shamefully lost to it.
Taking hold of the enchantress' hot thighs, I reflexively began pushing my pelvis into her groin myself, sliding my cock inside her pussy until the sensation of growing tension erupted inside her.
But still, there was more after that.
And after a brief respite, I had enough for one more time.
So far, I clearly lacked stamina. On the other hand, Roxy was getting tired too. But we were pleased with each other. Even when the excitement wore off, I was happy just to hold her in my arms and hold her close.
- Come on... we should get cleaned up.
- Yeah.
There's no proper shower here, but we're both excellent waterbenders, so that wasn't a problem. Taking out a basin for bathing, I filled it with hot water myself, then diluted it some more, making the temperature comfortable. Roxy had undressed completely, as had I, and we were already soaking together in the warmth.
- Good... - The girl stretched out contentedly.
It was a bit cramped in the basin, but that was the beauty of it, so I didn't have to create a more spacious tub of stone. Also, in the warm water I started to get aroused again, looking at Roxy's charming charms.
- Mentor, I can take your foot....
- What?
Stroking Roxy's graceful leg while her foot touched my groin.
- Rudy, you're a fetishist... - The girl grinned.
- Maybe a little... but, I'm interested in trying it.
Now she swung her own leg, rubbing my trembling cock. After that she privatised my leg for the entertainment of her pussy.
In general, it took us some time to wash up.
And after that, clean and satisfied, we lay in bed again, cuddled together.
- How long are you going to be here? - I asked her.
- I was thinking of heading to Shiron. I've been invited to work as a magic teacher at the royal palace.
- Yeah, well, you're the queen of water magic now. Magicians of such high rank are rare.
- You're also very close to the rank of king... and you have this amazing magic... lightning... I've never been able to master it.
- Still, I'd hate to part with you.
- There's a lot of barrier magic in Shiron. I'd like to learn more about it.
- I understand.
Burying my face in her hair, breathing in her scent.
- Shall we go together?
- Mmm.
- My father kicked me out of the house, you might say, to make me more independent. I don't have to stay here.
- You've already started teaching that girl, Eris. It wouldn't be nice to quit until you're done with her.
- It really wouldn't.
Personally, I'd be very disappointed if Roxy left after the first few months.
However...
- The system has given me the task of training her. I'm afraid if I finish her training, she might make it into our group.
- Does that scare you?
- Hmm... though that doesn't mean she'll necessarily have to be my wife. - I stretched out thoughtfully.
At the same moment, it seems the system also decided to do something about my doubts.
Assignment received!
Teacher's Pride
Complete Mad Bitch's education! Teach her to read and write!
Reward: Random item
Roxy snorted.
- She seemed to like this girl.
- I feel more like she's trying to set us up. Yeah and a random item as a reward seems lame. Those books were useful, but it could also be something like a broken trough or a lip-rolling machine.
The system sensed a loss of trust.
The message shook and the reward item changed.
Reward: Grimoire of summoning magic
I blinked in surprise.
It's worth noting that summoning magic is quite rare and finding any books on it is something really meaningful.
- Well, you should definitely finish your training now.
- You're probably right...
- And even if the system wants to set you up with this girl. Is that so bad?
- What are you talking about?
- You said you had a similar assignment with me when we met, right?
- Are you saying the system only picks good girls for my harem?
- Pfft... yeah... - Roxy covered her mouth with the palm of her hand, holding back a chuckle.
No, she's right about something, of course. I've never once regretted meeting her. And maybe if the system hadn't been so insistent on bringing us together, I might not have been so proactive about Roxy. And then there's Sylphie. She's just a baby, but she's so pretty and promises to grow into a real beauty. And as for Eris. She's pretty mean right now, but we're getting along more or less. Besides, her mum is definitely my type, and her daughter is in danger of growing up to be an equally beautiful woman. If you can handle her temper, that kind of development isn't a bad thing at all.
Although, then I might be sort of lured into the House of Boreas.
And, after all, Roxy's right. I started Eris' training and I have to finish it. Otherwise I shouldn't have started in the first place, but I'm already in it. There's a certain pride in being a teacher. Especially since Eris has been really trying to study lately, even if she's not very good at it. She has no talent in the sciences, but I can't ignore her efforts.
- I think I'll continue her studies after all. - I sighed.
- Good. - Roxy nodded. - And I heard you promised Sylphie you'd marry her....
Oh, those two even talk to each other about that?
- She wouldn't let me go. And, um, about that.
I get my bag out of my inventory, and in it I find this box.
- It's a--
- Well, I guess... it's not that it's too soon, I just don't want you to get weird looks if we get married now. But, would you mind being my bride? By the way, these rings are magic.
- Ohhh... I... - Roxy was confused.
- Will you give me your hand?
Her lips tightened, and she glared at me with a glare and turned pink, but as I asked, she gave me her hand so I could slip the ring onto her finger. Immediately it flashed with blue writing.
A water wedding ring.
Owned by Roxy.
Increases life span.
Increases mana reserves.
Accelerates mana regeneration.
Focuses water magic.
Yes, it seems that the focus of magic can change from wearer to wearer. And, interestingly enough, after putting the ring on the enchantress' finger, I felt some change myself. My ring flashed for a few seconds. And when I scanned it as well, I found that to the ability to focus air magic, water magic was also added. Thus it turns out that my ring copies the individual abilities of my brides' rings.
Achievement "Appetite Comes With Eating."
You made a promise to the enchantress Roxy that you would make her your wife, and now your destinies are linked.
Reward: Loli wife to Roxy Greyrat.
The enchantress and I looked at the message together.
- Pfft... - The girl snorted.
- Right, that's a promise that I'll actually take you as my wife. - I added, kissing the enchantress' hand.
- Yes... - She smiled happily, hugging me gently.
And still, the rest of that evening we never left each other's embrace. We slept together. And in the morning, we just pretended to talk about all sorts of magical things for half the night. And then I fell asleep right there. Nothing wrong with that.
I forgot one thing, though...
Gilen, the next time I saw her, she sniffed suspiciously and made a judgement.
- Yeah... human children grow up fast. - She nodded thoughtfully, looking at Roxy and me. - Although, you are Paul's son...
- Ah... w-what... - The sorceress panicked.
- 'I see, I'd forgotten about your sense of smell. - Sigh. - Gilen, can you keep this a secret?
- Mm-hmm. - She just shrugged her shoulders.
Well, it's not that complicated with her. I mean, it's Guylen.
And Roxy's staying in Roa for a week, after which she's promised to stop by Bueno to meet my parents and Lilia.
- Do you want to take a holiday? - Philippe was surprised when I turned to him.
- Yes, I've been here for six months... Eris is starting to make progress, I hope it won't hurt her. I think I'll be back in a week. I want to come home to see my parents and my little sister.
- Didn't your father tell you not to come back?
- If he tries to object, I'll bury him in the yard.
- Ha-ha... I see, okay. But your payment for next month will be reduced.
- You're welcome. - I waved my hand.
Closer to the time of departure I also made for the sorceress an amulet with an electromagnetic barrier spell. It is quite effective as a defence. In addition, the current version has been improved, and now the spell can be strengthened by channelling more mana into the amulet.
- Thank you, Rudy... that's a valuable gift.
- You know it wasn't something difficult for me to create.
- I don't care.
The Enchantress hugged me affectionately.
- Eris, I left you a journal of notes. So you'll have learnt the spells from it by the time I get back.
- Pfft. - The girl turned away and stuck her nose up.
After saying goodbye to my little sister and other relatives, I travelled with Roxy to Bueno in a regular wagon. And you know, I felt quite a mental boost getting this little holiday. I mean, even just on the road I could practice magic, albeit not the most impressive, but quite costly. I finished the life support barrier form, adding a high and low frequency sound absorption parameter to it as well. And that also got me thinking about sound magic that could affect people's senses. But that's for later, while I started the next step of improving my defences. Namely, I used lightning magic to control the barrier's internal electromagnetic field to keep a constant pressure level for myself. That is, even if I find myself weightless or deep underwater, the pressure fluctuations shouldn't affect my body as long as the barrier is powerful enough to handle it.
We were just pulling up to Bueno when an email from Sylphie appeared in my inventory.
- Your little bride misses you. - Roxy smiled.
- Oh, shut up... - I rolled my eyes.
But I opened the letter happily. After all, I missed that girl too. Somehow I got used to it already, that she is everywhere running after me with her tail and looking into my mouth.
Well, here we are.
Sylphie writes anxiously, in uneven handwriting, that Zenith shouted a lot at Paul and then at Lily. And, you know, I was immediately alerted to that. So, the girl also wrote that mum seemed to be going somewhere. Actually, this message led me to think that Paul could still get to Lilia, given that Zenith was shouting at both of them.
And, right away, the system decided to dispel my worries.
Mission received!
Father-child
It has been discovered that Lilia is pregnant with your child, see to it that she can give birth without any problems
Reward: Zenith will become a grandmother
I gaped dumbfounded looking at this message.
- Ohhh... - Roxy looked out from behind me and covered her mouth with the palm of her hand.
- Umm... I wasn't expecting that....
The sorceress looked at me strangely.
- So... a baby?
I scratched the top of my head uncertainly, trying to imagine it. Lilia, me and our child. But my imagination painted more of a picture of Lilia with two children, one of which was myself. It's still very strange. Anyway, I wrote back to Sylphie right on the trip to tell her not to worry, and that I myself would be back to visit the village soon, to visit her, and to check things out for myself.
- Ohhh... but that's weird. - I sighed.
- What are you going to do about it? - Roxy asked.
- Ah... um, don't worry. I'm not going to make you babysit my child with another woman, if that's what you mean....
- No, no. - She put her hands up. - I can help you look after him.
- Lily can handle it. And... I don't know how things will turn out at home yet, but... either way, I'm definitely not leaving her with the baby. I may have to take Lilia to Roa. I can rent her a house there, help her deliver the baby, and support her while I teach Eris.
- I see.
- Actually, having a baby wasn't really a problem at all. It's just that I didn't expect it to happen so immediately... I used that spell, well, you remember.
- Hmm...
Frowning, Roxy stroked her stomach.
- Umm... nda... sorry. - I lowered my head.
- No, it's fine. Even if the spell didn't work and... me too... it's okay, Rudy. I'll be happy to have your baby.....
- GHM.
That phrase sounded surprisingly embarrassing.
- But still, let's not rush into it just yet if the spell worked. Okay?
- Sure. - The sorceress smiled.
Anyway, this pregnancy of Lilia's turned out to be a bit shocking news. But not so much that it knocked the ground out from under her feet. Having a baby isn't the kind of situation that would put me on edge right now. After all, I had already helped deliver Norn, watched her first attempts to crawl, and I remember my new childhood. In addition, now I am a child myself, but I am quite confidently standing on my feet and can take care of my offspring.
Nevertheless, this news is still confusing.
Because of this, I could no longer think properly about working on new spells, and just played with the parameters of magic to empty my reserve. Although, it's also not replenished fully most of the time lately. It takes me a few days to fully recover, too extensive a mana reserve. That said, I spend it every day almost to the brim until I feel internally drained.
And, just like that, we soon reached Bueno.
- Zenith, let me in, please! - I hear Paul's voice somewhere in the house.
- Maybe... I'll wait for you outside? - Roxy asked hesitantly.
- Yeah... that's probably best. - Sighed I. - Better yet, why don't you go look for Sylphie? And I'll find you guys later.
- Okay. - The sorceress smiled.
Roxy went further into the village, and I returned to my father's house. I opened the door calmly, but did not hurry to draw attention to myself. I found some suitcases here. A couple of minutes later I found Lilia packing her things.
- Hmm, where are you going?
The woman flinched and looked round in surprise.
- Mr Rudeus?
- Hmm, so that's my... - I assessed Lilia's slightly rounded belly. - Tell me what happened.
The girl raised her eyebrows pitifully, and her face reflected heartache. And a strong sense of guilt.
- I'm sorry, master.
She was about to kneel down, but.....
- Whoa, whoa, stop, think of the baby, better just sit down.
- Yes... as you say, master.
- Let me get this straight.
- I was punished for having an affair with you, master. The gods punished me as a child.
- Hey, you think my child is a punishment?
- Ah... I'm not... sorry!
- It's okay, Lily, don't worry about it. I can take care of you anyway. Have you forgotten that I'm a mage of holy rank? Really, I didn't expect you to still look at me like a mere child.
- ''I'm sorry, master. - The girl sighed in surprise.
At least she had calmed down.
- Now tell me.
- I wasn't sure about my pregnancy... and, I didn't want to tell about you being his father... master. But, after Mistress Ada came to tell me that she was carrying your father's child, suspicion fell on him. And I... didn't want anyone to think that my child was his as well!
- Oh...so the father did...go off to the side.....
- He's remorseful.
Lily also told me other details of recent events.
- Your mother was very... upset... she was betrayed by her own husband... and even me.....
- You did nothing wrong.
- I seduced her son.
- No, I took advantage of you.
- Sir... no... you only... because of affection you indulged my damned lust! I'm not worthy.
- Lily, if you weren't pregnant, I'd spank you right now for being so stupid. So, why are you packing? Are you getting kicked out?
- Mrs Zenith... she hasn't said anything about it, but... I'm afraid it's hit her too hard. The best thing I can do for her is to leave on my own...
- I see, so you've decided it's better to just leave her now that she's in a fight with Paul so Zenith can be all alone?
- Sir... - Lilia gasped.
- Okay, don't hurry yet. I'll talk to my parents myself.
- Y-yes... all right, Mr Rudeus.
And then I went up to the first floor. That's where I found Paul scrambling in the children's room where Zenith had locked herself in with Norn.
- Zenith, love... please... er... - Father looked round in surprise. - R-rudeus?
- Hi dad.
Going up to him.
- Why...
Bam.
My baby fist smashes into his face.
