Chapter 90 - The Festival (2/2)

”That sounds good. Will you join me, Luke?” Alexis inquired, as she removed her white embroidered blouse.

”C-clear.”

Although Luke liked to go to bed early to wake up early, he didn't have much to do the next day, so he was glad for the invitation. During the time it took Martha to prepare the tea and put Nathalia to her bed, the half-wolf and Alexis sat on the couches in the main living room to talk.

Taking advantage of the situation, Luke decided to clear up a doubt he had about Pontiff Rebecca. ”How can she manage to appear so young when she's so old?”

”Eh... Don't tell her I told you, but she suffers from a curse. Let's just say that when I met her she appeared to be older, and over time she was...”

”Rejuvenating.” The half-wolf surmised.

”Yes. Many would think that is a blessing, but I believe that for her it must not be good at all to see everything get older but her.”

”Could she end up turning into a baby? That would be... cruel, to say the least.” Luke theorized.

In the back and forth of several other subjects, Alexis ended up touching on an even more delicate issue than curses.

”So? What did you do for a living before you ended up here?” she asked, as she adjusted the cushion on the couch she was propped up against.

”Do I really need to answer that?”

”Oh, come on! Tell me something about yourself! You already know a lot of things about me, and I know practically nothing about you.”

”You have to earn my trust first. Or do you really think I've forgotten that you owe me a wish? We had a bet, and I ended up killing the demon receptacle.”

The half-dragon, instead of backing away as Luke expected her to do, stood up and sat down next to the half-wolf.

”Don't worry, I can pay my post. What do you think you can ask of me?” Alexis asked, leaning her bust forward.

Since she was now wearing a thinner T-shirt, her breasts were well highlighted. Without asking permission, she moved her face closer to Luke's face. Alexis placed a hand on his thigh and began to move up.

Initially, the half-wolf had no desire to stop her, in fact, he was almost mesmerized by the woman's red eyes. However, soon a weight fell on his consciousness.

”I can't do that to Ayumi...” he said, stopping the advance of Alexis' hand.

The half-dragon also seemed to come back from a trance-like state and stepped back. ”S-sorry. I didn't know you guys were getting like this, you know, in such a serious way.”

”It's not that...actually, it's complicated.”

In the end, when Martha arrived in the room carrying the trays with the teas, Alexis and Luke had each gone to their rooms.

A few more days passed and the atmosphere between the two of them became awkward again during that time. Ayumi Yamazaki also did not return to the Mansion, and this made Luke even more stressed and worried, however, he soon focused on what he had to do next.

”Shall we? The emissary from the Church warned me that it is already close.” The half-dragon said, putting on her boots at the entrance to the mansion.
