Chapter 10: Lazy healer and weird cat
“Do they also bully you in a hide and seek?”
To his words, Sara burst out laughing.
She covered her lips and shook her head gently. As her laughter subsided a little, Sara turned her eyes to Celia, who had been staring at her as if wronged.
How many times did her daughter request assistance against her aunts?
Celia wanted to bully back, but she never had a chance.
Now that Alex was with her, she would make them play with her all games she had heard about back in the Dullahan Kingdom.
Seeing how excited her daughter was, Sara momentarily lost herself in thoughts. As she did, Alex and Celia dug into her dishes.
After some time, Sara replied, “They don’t even dare to try. If it wasn’t for me, Stella would continue to laze around in the castle.
Before I tell you a little about your wives, how do you see me?” Sara asked curiously.
They had been together for a week now.
Although Alex always logged out quite late, he spent most of his free time with them. Of course, he logged in late due to his school. He couldn’t neglect his studies.
But as per many mothers’ worries, many other students got too addicted to the new world.
Alex saw far fewer people in his school. That was quite an odd feeling as school rules were pretty strict in his area.
“How do I see you? Well… You appear as a collected and responsible woman,” Alex replied to Sara’s inquiry.
He heard many times how children changed parents. He didn’t know whether Sara was one of those, though.
She nodded with a dazzling smile, “I always used to be strict with myself… The one time I let my rules go was when I fell in love…”
Sadness flashed in Sara’s eyes.
And as she noticed four eyes deeply looking at her, Sara quickly changed her topic.
‘I guess she doesn’t want to speak about Celia’s father,’ Alex took a furtive glance at his little friend.
As he guessed, Celia looked sad. Her head low, she stared at a nearly empty bowl with squinted eyes and unconcealable longing. She yearned for a person who would help her mother make their lives merrier.
Other than daddy, who else could it be?
Alex didn’t move. He didn’t want to give any thoughts to his little friend. He maintained silence and listened to Sara’s talk.
“Stella is like the embodiment of sloth. I wouldn’t be surprised if she were to be a sin of sloth. She is so lazy that she doesn’t walk unless necessary. So how does she move? Well, did I pique your interest?” Sara spoke too fast, actually.
However, Alex knew the reason.
He spoke louder and spoke more than he should, “She doesn’t walk… Anyone would think she just doesn’t move, but you just asked me how she moves instead… Hmmm… I believe she uses some technique?”
Celia lifted her eyes and raised her hand, “Stella uses wings!”
Sara nodded.
And as the last topic, about Sara’s love, had utterly evaporated from everyone’s hearts, Sar spoke slower, and her smile returned.
She replied, “Her mother hails from the winged tribe. One has to cross seven mountains and reach the clouds to even speak with them. As someone with pride, my father obviously challenged their grounds…”
The Winged Race was peculiar. They held two elements, holy and wind. Only those from the royal bloodline could wield two, but Stella somehow could use a little of her wind despite choosing the holiness as her primary class.
They said that her laziness brought out the wind elements. After all, Stella flapped her wings slowly, so slowly that she wouldn’t be able to fly without wind mana.
Alex didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. But the former was much better in their mood. He laughed as he imagined the lazy lady moving her wings.
He also had a good image of Stella.
Sara and Celia openly talked about her looks.
“Mom is more beautiful!” Celia shouted, then pushed her plush toy’s head down, making Kubo agree with her words.
Alex was also forced to agree. Well, he didn’t mind.
“Schnee is the opposite. She is fickle, energetic and she likes to tease a lot. Her personality is surprising because she is a cat woman, and her mother would be good buddies with Stella… I guess it’s my father’s genes’ fault,” Sara sighed.
Even to her, Schnee was too much.
That kitty surely would take her time and play with hungry demons. She wouldn’t just fight them to death but make sure that those hungry demons would think twice before attacking her.
Of course, some might think that it was a good idea. fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m
However, the hungry demon’s mental was formidable. And then, Schnee’s worst side was that she had some sadistic tendencies. That was precisely why Sara couldn’t efficiently deal with Schnee.
Sara spoke about the cat woman’s worst side in a whisper so Celia wouldn’t hear about it.
Alex nodded, “I am glad that I met you first.”
He spoke genuinely.
From what he learned, Schnee was the worst. If he really were to become her husband, he would need to keep an eye on her the most.
Stella was also troublesome. That was because Alex didn’t like to laze around nor waste time doing anything literally. In his world, one wouldn’t find Alex watching random videos on the net or him taking a nap after school.
He always tried to use his time wisely.
Of course, Alex played a lot of hide and seek with Celia and Sara. However, was it really wasted time? Alex genuinely enjoyed a new experience as no one from his family had a child as young as Celia yet.
And his relationship with Sara was crucial. For her, Celia’s happiness was the priority. He always made sure that three of them would do many things together.
Other than fighting skeletons, that was indeed the case.
Alex never thought about it as wasted time.
Besides, he often socialized with his friends. After school, he would usually have some fun with them and his girlfriend… But now, the times had changed, and their lives became chaotic.
He also did his best to spend some time with his parents on Sunday, when neither had to work.
“I guess I really want to meet your sisters and my wives. Let’s head out immediately after the dinner,” Alex said.
Sara nodded, “Out of two, I am mostly worried about Schnee… She might go too deep into the forest and enter the lands where even she would be endangered.”
All Deathwill Sisters had reset their level.
Since not every NPC had this chance, all three were peculiar ladies. However, Deathwill’s Castle was in even more unique land. Their environment never forgives, and they all should tread carefully.
Alex understood that, so he prepared for the adventure as much as possible.
