17 Interrogatory (1/2)

”...”

Rainer was still digesting this sudden revelation.

”In other words, you were teleported by your father to mankind's border and by chance, I saved you and then you become my maid.

Later you were afraid to tell me about the truth because you didn't know how I would react, did you?”

”Yes...”

Alisha was depressed, she had just told her own story and Rainer had barely reacted.In fact she was still afraid of how he would react.

”...!”

Alisha was surprised to see Rainer approach her.

Showing the confidence she had in Rainer, she remained in place.

*Pluff*

Rainer patted her ears and her tail.

”They are very soft! Alisha, it's fantastic!”

Rainer was very happy, he was able to see a girl with beastly characteristics for the first time in his two life!

Of course, he was only curious about her appearance and there was no feeling of disgust or depravity.

”You fool, you should have told it to me earlier.”

Said Rainer as he sat back on the bed.

”But I didn't know...” Alisha was looking for the words to excuse herself.

”No buts... anyway, we all have our secrets so don't take it the wrong way... Maybe someday I'll tell you mine hehehe.”

He said, trivializing the importance of the matter.

”Besides, from what you're saying, it's probably that your parents are alive!”

”I lost faith a long time ago...” Said Alisha as she looked down.

She didn't seem to want to talk about it anymore, so Rainer avoided mentioning it again.

”I feel like I've taken a weight off my shoulders, Young Master!”

Alisha seemed liberated after telling her biggest secret to Rainer.

”Now I have to return to my duties.”

”Huuuh, it's okay, but bring Lerna in case something happens, I'll stay cultivating so I'll be fine on my own, you' re the one I'm worried about.”

Again, Rainer didn't know the value of those words in a lady's heart when she had just opened her heart.

”W-well, I'm leaving now!

Alisha quickly escaped from the bedroom.

”Maybe I've gone too far?”

Said Rainer as a slight smile appeared on his face.

...

Even several days later, Rainer was unable to remove Alisha's true appearance from his mind.

Her shapely face, with a small nose along with a couple of pink cheeks.

Slim eyebrows and large yellow-eyed, snow-white hair that evoked a contradictory feeling of warmness in her appearance.Her pointed ears and her long slender tail along with her thin figure and medium height, made her look like a high class model on Earth.

But it was her warm smile that seemed to purify one' s soul, which would trap anybody in an illusion from which they would never wish to awaken.

...

A week away from the tournament, Rainer managed to stabilize his foundation at the middle stage,with two breaks through so consecutively, he risked to have a weak foundation. That's why he was spending the rest of the time before the tournament turning his Astral Gate into his attribute.

After nearly a month of practice, Rainer was able to assimilate the spatial attribute into the 10% of his Astral Gate, where the spiritual energy was originated.

”Huh, it is slow but step by step I'm getting closer...”

Rainer had great expectations about the Space-time Monarch Method, he wanted to discover what secrets these techniques and their creator held.

...

*Knock Knock*
