I was inside the carriage with Alice, which was heading straight for the Screeching Villa. But the moment was... awkward.
’Stare Harder Ultima Editio-
"Alright, what’s with all the staring?" I pinch the girl’s nose who was staring at me with much intensity just now.
"Ou Ou Ou Ou, Master, leave my nose be." Alice said while flapping her hands at me in a way of retaliation... this felt nice.
Being able to overpower someone who’s not stronger than me. I wonder if Jacob’s back already.
I let go of her nose, "Okay, now would you tell me, what was that about?"
Alice moppingly rubbed her nose while saying, "I don’t wanna tell you."
"Do you want me to grab it again?"
A few painless flaps later, "To think I wasted so much mana and hardship for you! If I knew the very important matter was sleeping with that woman, I would have never used magic to help you!" She turned around and huffed.
I realize what she meant.
It was because Alice had to use spacial magic to teleport us.
When I received the Very Important paper from Alice back at the Religias’s, it was to notify me that Marika had been at the BAR! last night and was calling for me to come.
But since I was away looking after Seman and his army, I couldn’t have come even if I had gotten that piece of information delivered to me there... besides, there was Veronica at the camp, I had to give precedence to each woman.
Can’t just let one woman hog all the time... even if that woman only comes on her fucking indefinite time.
I knew that going from Whitedon to this area would normally take about 9 to 10 days. Even if I rode on my fastest horse and took minimum breaks, it still wouldn’t be enough.
So I thought of Alice, who had very recently learnt of using Spacial Magic. But the problem was that the distance was too big and she was still a beginner at that category so there could be some error.
But still I went with that idea. The power of using teleportation concept was somewhat simple.
If you couldn’t precisely visualize and pinpoint the location you wanted to teleport, the spell could go wrong and sent you to another city, world or even dimension if you’re powerful enough... and I believe she had the power to do so.
So we went with the safer route of using Marks.
When you leave some of your mana residues at one place, it can be used to identify that spot easily or even help you lure away some problems and that was Marks.
Alice had left several marks on the way when she traveled here and we thought of using that method to teleport a safe small distance first before continuing and going on until we arrived at the specific place.
"Such powerful, deeply agonizing spellcasting." Alice showed a look of agony, "Only for it to be used for my master to fuck another married woman."
"You knew she was married?"
"She’s too old and pretty not to be!" Alice said with venom almost spitting out.
"And if you’re so angry with her," I lightly pinch her nose again, "Why did you give her that bottle then."
Alice slapped my playful hand and looked away, "That... I had to do that. I know how rough you can be, master and with how old that woman is, I had to help her out somehow."
I laugh at her bitterness. Marika was not that old... somewhere around peak 20’s to early 30’s, I think. Besides...
I grab her nose and play with it hard this time, "How can you complain so much when you used your spell so wrongly, huh!"
The teleport spell that Alice used the first time, it brought us immediately close to the temporary residence... which it was not supposed to.
With the safety distance I set up for our first teleportation, it was not supposed to bring us this far... nowhere close to it.
Which meant that, either she was bad at teleportation or...
Alice snatched her nose away and looked at me with pity, "Why are you grabbing my nose so much, master? What if it gets deformed?"
"I don’t have a problem with that. I’m the only one who’s going to be with you anyway." Alice smiled and came for a hug that I pushed away, "And onto the more important matter... why didn’t you tell me that you never used teleportation magic before!"
"Hehe... you knew." Alice said with an awkward smile.
"Anyone would if they get transported 100 miles away from their initial place. So what’s your excuse?"
"I don’t have any excuse, master and I did used the spell a few times... just not on any living beings or more than one item or anything that’s so tall."
My brow couldn’t help but break down at her words. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NovelHub(.)net
What she’s saying isn’t just bad news, it could have been catastrophic.
Anyone would know that when using Spacial magic, details were the utmost important thing. Details could reap apart a person and disfigure them in ways unimaginable.
If she had told me, I would never have allowed her to use that spell on us.
And the spell is too valuable to be left in the dust.
"When we get home, you will put your maximum focus in mastering that spell."
"But master... I would need volunteers for that." Alice tilted her head while blinking her eyes cutely.
"...I hear there are a lot of recruits coming to the Villa."
Anna smiled devilishly, "...I understand, master... hehehe."
’Why does it feel like I did something very ominous.’
The Sun’s time to kick the bucket came when we arrived at the Villa. As soon as I got out on the main courtyard, I felt a refreshing feeling overwhelm me with a sense of fear rising from everyone.
I inhale deeply, "Nowhere like home."
Then I saw someone approaching me as my eyes lit up.
"Master!" Anna said as walked with a steadfast speed, but someone was faster than her.
"NYAGHH!" Sadie ran towards me with a few broken ropes dangling around her and bashed into me.
Her overly huge body ramming into me, should have crushed me, but I was strong enough to handle her.
"Good Girl! I missed you very much. Did you miss me?" I smile and scratch her large body as she nuzzled into me.
"Nyagh?!" Suddenly, Sadie stopped and started sniffing me. Then she looked at me with wide eyes which practically spoke betrayal.
"I- I have something to confess Sadie. I- I- I may not have been completely loyal in our relatio-"
"BAnG!" Sadie didn’t let me finish as she turned around and gave me that special double sided butt kick.
Now I said that I was strong enough to handle her... but let’s be real, even if I was ready, I couldn’t have stopped that kick from hurling me away and breaking through the front wall.
Anna and Alice came running to me and kneeled to check on me.
"Are you hurt?" Anna looked at my body with worry while Alice already started using healing magic on me.
"It’s alright." I reassure them both, "We both know Sadie didn’t mean that."
"...Alright, I might have been wrong." I look at Sadie quietly huffing and leaving. "But you can’t blame her to be jealous now, can ya?"
I get up and get in through the broken wall, "We need to fix that."
"Yes, we do, but there are pressing matters, master."
"Your Step-Mother is here."
