Volume 9 Chapter 7: Lily’S Glare (1/2)
Chapter 7: Lily's Glare
Now that I have this new skill, [Soul Split], I should find myself a good body...ehh, what's a good body anyway?
I can't just chose randomly regarding this. I have a feeling that this soul splitting thing will also weaken me by at least a half and I don't know if I can even take it back.
It's best not to do it for now and just wait in the future. If I can find a good vessel, then I'll decide to split my soul or not. Otherwise, let's not do it.
After tanking up in both jobs, I stretched my divine sense to the extreme to look for bad guys to catch.
I used the same trick I did in [Earth] and captured those that I can see. After a while, there's no activity so far so I went back to [Watervilet] and started to paint textures to level up.
At the same time, I meditate my mind to train on the daos as I paint. This way, I can get stronger faster. The stronger I get, the less enemy I will worry about.
Yet, even with all this power...I feel that this still isn't enough!
What is it...this feeling…
Like that, the day pa.s.sed by and a new day arises.
I promised to meet up with Lily so I went back to [Earth].
”Lucas, you're here. Now, sit down so I can tell you your schedule for today.” (Lily)
I sat down and listened to Lily. After I'm done with this, I should start looking for the demi-vampires tomorrow...

………………….The h.e.l.l!? I don't get any breaks at all!
Seriously!? Saint Lucas College!? And is it really alright for a hero to model in a magazine for Bad Boys!? And what's with this Date a Celebrity!?
Also, who the h.e.l.l is this Sh.e.l.la Maize!? How come she's everywhere!!!???
Rather, I'm having breakfast, lunch, and dinner with her!?
”...Oi, this Sh.e.l.la girl...” (Lucas)
”Sigh...Sh.e.l.la Maize is the only daughter of Bryan Maize, CEO of Maize Industries and one of the leading companies on Magi-tech advancements. It is well known that Sh.e.l.la Maize is a diehard fan of the [White Haired Adventurer] Lucas so...” (Lily)
”...And you let her take 3 spots on my schedule!?” (Lucas)
”There was nothing I can do about it...did you know? She originally asked for the whole day with you...” (Lily)
A...a whole day with a diehard fan...just thinking about it gives me s.h.i.+vers…
”I did my best you know? After I declined the whole day arrangement, she even booked your midnight spot! I just couldn't let that happen!” (Lily)
...A midnight spot...she wouldn't be thinking of raping me...right?
”So in the end, I can only promise her that you will eat with her in all three meals...Lucas, make sure you don't do anything that you shouldn't do...got it?” (Lily)
”Yes! Yes! Yes!” (Lucas)
d.a.m.n, why is it that when Lily or the girls give me the glare, I feel more frightened than facing a dragon?...
Lily chuckled and gave me a kiss.
”Well then, it's already 5:00 am. We should get going or we'll be late.” (Lily)
”What are you saying? I already know where this Sh.e.l.la girl is and I can teleport there directly. I say we move up the Bed talk with you to 5:00 am - 6:30 am. Sounds good?” (Lucas)
”Ah? How about the other girls?” (Lily)
”Hm? Yeah, where are they?” (Lucas)
Giving them a call, it seems they're all busy...Freya is back in [Harus] and managing the newly released pure-blooded vampires while showing Mei around. Aeran is having a meeting with the [Senerth] gatekeepers along with Eu and Aleris. Steph seems to be doing some mafia work.
All that's left are…
”Masta!” (Vil)
”Master~ morniiin~” (Fen)
...These two…
”Well then...let's go!” (Lucas)
”Kya!?” (Lily)
”Vi-!? Master, are me mating again?” (Vil)
”Master!” (Fen)
Carrying the three off to bed, we proceeded our business according to the schedule…
+ + +
6:29 am. I immediately teleported to the front gate of the Maize mansion with Lily.
”Lucas, I look fine right? There's nothing on my face or hair?” (Lily)
”No need to worry so much. You look perfect.” (Lucas)
”Geez, it's all your fault. Why did you have to do it till the last minute!? My legs are still shaking a bit...” (Lily)
Oops?
I scratched my head while lauging wryly, causing Lily to pout, seemingly dissatisfied with my reaction.
Today, I'm only wearing a smart casual outfit since wearing armors would be disrespectful. Though, I can't do anything about my metal arm...maybe I can texture paint it to look like a fleshy arm but...this metal arm is bulkier and has potrusions so I guess it would be weird if it has a fleshy feel…
Lily rang the doorbell and the door opened.
”Mr. Lucas!” (Sh.e.l.la)
Suddenly, a 15 year old girl with drill blonde hair jumped towards my embrace...eh!?
Well, I couldn't just dodge or stop her since she's the client...not like we're in need of money but still...
This must be Sh.e.l.la then?
I looked over at Lily and saw her nod while sighing.
”Haha, so sorry about that Sir Lucas. My child's a bit of a fan of yours so she was just excited.” (Bryan)
”Haha, it's fine Mr. Maize. I was just a bit surprised as well.” (Lucas)
A plump middle aged man appeared and laughed.
”Well then, I must be going now. I still have an important meeting. Please, make yourselves at home.” (Bryan)
”Please don't worry about your daughter and take care, Mr. Maize.” (Lucas)
”Yes, yes. Ah, Sh.e.l.la, make sure to behave properly alright?” (Bryan)
”Un! Bye bye papa!” (Sh.e.l.la)
Sh.e.l.la nods while still hugging me...oi, how long are you going to hug me!? Look, Lily has been giving me the glare for some time now!
Aftet seeing Bryan off, we all moved inside and had our breakfast. All the while, I kept Sh.e.l.la company and answered her questions.
Of course, I didn't tell her everything. Especially those informations that isn't allowed to be told to other people.
After breakfast, she was about to pull me to her room but…
”I'm very sorry Ms. Maize, It's already 7:30 am. Sir Lucas still has other appointments.” (Lily)
”Eeeh?” (Sh.e.l.la)
Phew, it's good that the talk during breakfast took long...otherwise, things would be bad…
”Well then, I'll see you later at lunch.” (Lucas)
”Ah! Oh, okay! See you later Lucas!” (Sh.e.l.la)
Somehow, she no longer use any honorifics when calling me…Lily is glaring at me again…
Umm...was I not supposed to say that?
After saying goodbye to Sh.e.l.la, I held Lily's hand and teleported us away.
Next is the interview with Channel 52 so I directly teleported in front of their building.
Going in with Lily, we went to the reception desk.
”Excuse me, I'm supposed to have an interview with Channel 52?” (Lucas)
”Understood. Name please?”
