Chereads / The Mage Poe / Chapter 27 - Lucia and Ivy

Chapter 27 - Lucia and Ivy

Time slowly passed and the other people present around them went to bed, it also looked like the savior had finished scolding the red haired girl for now.

Having calmed down both of them turned around and faced Poe.

"Sorry about that, she just really likes cute things…"

Saying that, the tall girl send an apologetic look towards Poe.

"I-it's not a problem."

Poe said halfheartedly to the tall girl who helped her out.

"By the way my name is Lucia and this girl who attacked you is my big sister, Ivy. Though I sometimes feel like I'm the big sister…"

Having said so, Poe turns to inspect them. The tall girl who helped Poe have short and blue eyes, while at the same time giving the feeling of her being a responsible big sister.

The red haired girl on the other hand, funny or not also had red eyes. Sometimes people get the same color hair or eyes as their element, so Ivy was most likely a fire mage…

[Ivy, human fire mage, lvl 13]

Yep, a fire mage all right, even with her sister right beside her, she was still giving off a dangerous feeling. Like she would jump at Poe at any minute.

"Ah! My name is P-Poe!"

Having understood that they were most likely waiting for Poe to tell them his name, he felt obliged to tell them his name as well.

"Poe is it, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you."

Having said so. The tall girl turned towards a window that was showing the outside and there were indeed darker outside than before. Maybe this place was coordinated with the outside, so you could feel the passing of the days.

"Well it is night and all, so for now let's sleep. We can talk again tomorrow. Ivy!"

Having said so. Lucia knocked Ivy out before laying down on a mattress next to Poe starting to sleep. Indeed Ivy was dangerous. While Lucia was talking, she had tried sneak closer to Poe.

Poe did not even notice it, but luckily, Lucia saw what her sister was up to no good and stopped her in time.

Laying down, Poe was staring up at the celling. Today was really a nice day… If we do not count in the red haired demon…

Thinking this, Poe slowly let his sleepiness take him.

"Zzzz"

While Poe had finally fallen asleep, a certain red haired demon had freed herself from her sister's hold after she fell asleep and was now making her way towards the defenseless Poe.

Slowly the night passed.

Waking up the first thing Poe noticed was that he was not sleeping where he used to or more like, he could not move at all.

Looking around himself franticly, he noticed that a certain someone was embracing him…

That certain someone had long red hair running down her shoulders and was drooling all over Poe.

Looking to the side, Poe could see Lucia sleeping just besides her sister, so Poe did all he could to wriggle an arm free and using all his strength, Poe managed to poke Lucia awake.

"Eh? Huh? Poe? What are you doing there?"

Lucia, who just woke up looked around confused. Though after seeing a certain someone embracing Poe and Poe's pleading look, Lucia soon found out what happened.

Coming to Poe's help. The first thing Lucia did was push her big sister away from Poe, while trying to free him from her grasp at the same time, but it proved harder than it looked.

"Eh? Lucia~?"

Ivy herself also woke up and to Poe's despair; she tightened her hold around him.

"Ivy! Release Poe!"

Lucia said to her sister while trying to save Poe.

"Eh? AH!"

Ivy seemed to have realized what she was doing as she soon released Poe, who ended up flying into Lucia, ending in both of them falling to the ground together.

On the floor both Poe and Lucia ended up heaving a sigh of relief before getting up.

"Sorry about her… She seems to have taken a liking to you…"

"I see…"

Poe found Lucia friendly and great, but her sister was dangerous…

"What about we treat you to something to eat? As an apology for her behavior? There is a café just a few minutes from here."

Saying so, Lucia pointed towards Ivy, who got up and looked towards Poe with shinning eyes.

Poe who heard the suggestion agreed instantaneously, he would have to live off monster meat for a week, but he had not seen any monster that dropped something edible, so he was quite hungry after not having eaten for such a long time.

Finally yet importantly, Poe had no money, so buying food would be impossible. This apology really came to Poe's help and he really liked food...

Ivy, who saw the change in Poe's behavior after the food was mentioned, smiled for a little before going with her sister's suggestion of treating Poe to eat something.

Poe, of course did not know that Ivy was starring to plan a whole lot of things to do now that she found Poe's weakness…

Maybe using food as a bait will work, Ivy thought to herself as she started smirking to herself.

After getting dressed and ready to go out of the sleeping quarters, Poe, Lucia and Ivy left behind the sleeping quarters to get something to eat.

Lucia wondering how to make friends with Poe, Poe thinking of all the great food, he was about to get and finally Ivy, thinking of what she could make Poe do for food…

The people walking on the streets did send a few weird glances Ivy's way, but that was mostly because of the creepy smirk that was plastered all over her face…

Nothing special happening, they arrived at the café.
