Chereads / The Mage Poe / Chapter 31 - Birth of a genius

Chapter 31 - Birth of a genius

It was still night in the sleeping quarters and the place had slowly filled up and there were now girls sleeping all over the place, but there was one, who had not gone to sleep yet and that someone was Ivy.

After she had gotten her splendid plan, she proceeded to wait for other people to come back and sleep first. When that was done, it was finally time to start her genius plan.

First, she moved towards Poe and Lucia. Ivy knew that her sister would most likely wake up if Poe were to be taken away from her embrace, so Ivy decided on something else.

Slowly moving Poe away from her sisters iron grip, Ivy took a nearby quilt and put it in between her sister and Poe. Now that her sister felt that there was something between her arms, she stopped holding onto Poe as much as before and Ivy managed to get Poe out of her sister's embrace.

Having succeeded in her genius mission, Ivy took Poe and hugged him as tightly as possible before entering sleep land with a blissful smile on her face.

In the other end of the sleeping quarters, a girl who saw the scene of Ivy taking Poe away from her sister chuckled lightly to herself while thinking that there were many unique people out there.

The night slowly passed and it was soon morning, Poe who thought he had been sleeping together with Lucia in her embrace was quite shocked to find a certain pervert embracing her with the biggest smile possible etched onto her face.

How?

That was all Poe could think of, because when he went to sleep, he was definitely in Lucia's embrace and for Ivy to get her out of her sister's embrace, she would most likely have to wake her up in the process. For Poe to land in Ivy's embrace without resistance from her sister? Impossible!

Looking desperately towards where Lucia was laying, Poe saw her embracing a quilt instead of him.

Seeing this Poe's first thought was just, really? A quilt? I'm being replaced by a quilt?

Poe could feel the tears starting to come out of his eyes; just the thought of being replaced by a quilt was dreadful and caused Poe to start weeping.

"L-Luciaaaa…!"

Poe said in one of the most desperate and depressed ways to ever greet the world. The image of what looked like a little elf girl on the verge of tears begging Lucia for help was indeed saddening.

Lucia, as the responsible big sister type she was, could never ignore such a desperate cry for help and before long; she opened her eyes and looked around. The first place she looked towards was the place where Poe was supposed to be, but seeing a quilt instead of Poe, Lucia realized that the reason for a certain someone to cry out to her like that was definitely her big sister…

Looking towards her big sister, Lucia saw Ivy with a smile plastered all over her face and Poe, who was trapped inside her embrace looking at her with tears in the eyes.

Just a simple look towards the situation of Poe would make mostly everyone want to come and help.

After all, Ivy's grin was just a little too much and no matter who looked at that smile would know that she had no good intentions towards Poe…

"IVY!"

Lucia got angry the moment she saw her sister's smile and rushed towards Poe and Ivy.

The moment she made it up to Ivy, she took hold of Poe and pulled him away from Ivy's grasp. Pulling Poe away from Ivy seemed like it had finally done something to her, as she soon woke up from whatever dream she had and looked towards her sister's angry face.

"But… I was just coming to the good part…"

Ivy said while sending a lecherous look towards Poe. Poe who received the lustful and weird look from Ivy hurriedly hid behind Lucia, in fear that something very wrong would happen to him.

Lucia on the other hand, saw that her sister was about to do something and as the responsible sister she was, Lucia stood up and pulled Ivy out of the sleeping quarters.

By now, most of the people who were sleeping peacefully was looking towards Ivy, Poe and Lucia, but when they saw Lucia's face, which leaked a terrifying amount of killing intent, they decided it was best to look the other way and it was not really, as if they thought of helping Ivy. They also saw the look she gave Poe and thought it would be better if such a person would just disappear.

With no one hindering her, Lucia soon dragged Ivy outside. What followed was desperate cries for help that sounded like someone was about to die, but soon peace returned.

The people inside the sleeping quarters decided to look the other way when they heard the desperate cries for help. It seemed that Ivy had a reputation around here and it was most likely not so good…

Thinking this, Poe decided to get up and walked outside the sleeping quarters. What met him was a half dead Ivy leaning onto one of the walls while muttering something Poe could not hear with another creepy smile on her lips.

"He, worth it… Hehe…"

Having finished teaching Ivy some manners, Lucia turned towards Poe and asked.

"Do you want to go to the café to get some food?"

Poe who heard his savior even asking him such a stupid question nodded while answering.

"OF COURSE!"

Like that, Poe and Lucia went to eat at the café, but a certain someone, who had not learned their lesson, had another genius plan.

Now all that was left was to get Poe into the trap…

"Hehehe…"

"Mom, what is that lady doing?"

"Look the other way, just ignore people like that, she is just a little sick darling."

A mother and daughter happened to pass by our genius while she was planning another great plan, but such small talk would not hinder the greater good from happening.

Or was it greater evil?
