Groggily rubbing his eyes, Leis was greeted with sounds of multiple notifications next morning.
[Received 1SP]
[Consumed Elixir of Septa]
"Elixir of Septa?" While stretching his tensed muscles, he asked.
[If you want to know more, pay 0.01SP]
"Tsk. Take it. I don't want to bitch in the morning."
[Elixir of Septa - A high-tier elixir made from the extract of Septa flower. It has astonishing healing abilities and is generally used to make one's internal organs robust. The reason you didn't stay at the bed for another six months was because of this]
"Hmm. Is that why I feel so refreshed? My pain is likewise completely gone. Also, did my clothes got shorter overnight? - No, I am taller now.
"But where is she? I can't believe the Quest is done just like that, I didn't even get to enjoy it."
He went outside and asked some nun about it and discovered Christa will be out for at least a week.
'I guess she went to take care of yesterday's matter. She did sound like she was quite close to that her majesty.'
"Well that aside, what's my next Quest?"
[Quest: Enjoy yourself some Karklin's breast for at least one minute
Reward: 0.2SP + 0.1SP(for every extra minute)]
"..."
—
At a desolate place.
"W-We can't do this." Darting her eyes around quickly to make sure no one saw them, Rorry weakly pushed the man pinning her against the wall.
"Well, I had to do something if you didn't want to speak, don't I?" His fingers slid on the wall and brushed past her cute dimples.
While shivering at the delicate touches, she mustered her strength by taking deep breaths and spoke meekly, "Leis, actually..."
"Hmm?" He smiled which made her blushed face turned even pinker.
"Actually, I wanted to say I l-like you."
[Received 0.5SP]
It would be a lie to say Leis didn't felt honored getting confessed by a girl four years older than him. His pride satisfied. But alas...
Retracting his hand slowly, he turned around and gazed at the sky and stated profoundly, "A beautiful girl like you confessing to me flatters me greatly," while her expression was turning dreamy, he continued, "...but fate doesn't want us to be together for I have already decided to remain alone in this life."
Rorry countenance fell, tears started forming in her eyes.
Looking deeply into her eyes, he shook his head and said with a sad smile, "sorry, Miss Rorry. I don't deserve you."
With that he departed, leaving the heartbroken girl behind.
—
[You are such a douche. First, you seduce the girl for a week and now you rejected her]
Leis's veins popped, finding a desolate corner, he screamed, "don't you fucking say that! It's only because of the quest I did that."
[But you still did it. Don't yell at me if you can't handle a girl in the right way. You just suck at rejection]
"Say what?!"
"What are you doing here?" Suddenly he heard a cold voice coming from behind.
'It's her, isn't she?'
[Amen to that]
"Head Sister, I..." turning around, he tried to speak.
"I went out for a week and you created a ruckus already. I also saw what you did with that girl a minute ago."
"Sister, I didn't mean to...and anyway she confessed to me."
"Looks like someone's getting popular. Let's see if your intelligence is expanding along with your popularity or not. Come with me."
Following Christa's back, he didn't dare lay his eyes wander on her wantonly...not after he saw her display of strength.
—
'Fufu...now the tables have turned.'
Christa asked again to make sure if she didn't mishear Leis's words, "what did you say you want as a reward?"
Turns out she wanted him to follow her for the test, unsurprising, he aced it with complete ease.
"I always wanted to see how sister's face like. Can you show me." He said. The expectations clear in his eyes, it was something he deserved after all this work.
"Why do you even want to see it?"
"There's nothing deep, I just want to find out how you look." Christa just looked at him, after some moments of silence Leis was getting uncomfortable. But his patience paid off.
"Sigh! Fine. Since you did study hard, I guess you deserve your reward." Christa was already teaching him for a month, she already understood Leis was different from other kids of his age. Perhaps because she was getting comfortable with him, she decided to humor him.
When her hands reached her head, she slowly opened her scarf knots revealing her silver hair.
Since she always wore a scarf, Leis never saw her hair before. But after seeing her hair it was definitely a surprise to him.
Untying another knot and her veil fell to the ground. Her actions were natural, no hesitation or shame was present.
Instantly, Leis was dumbfounded. He never expected that behind the veil lied such perfect beauty.
Her lips pink and soft looking as always appeared extremely enticing together with her other facial feature. Her oval face was perfectly symmetrical, like a perfect sculpture. The eyebrows were shaped like a crescent moon, thin and greyish.
Her nose was straight and delicate. Cheeks looking as soft as clouds and smooth as silk. Even though her face was astonishingly beautiful what stole his soul were her eyes, her eyes were like sapphire crystals, purple, both shining with beauty and coldness. It wasn't an exaggeration to say he was hooked and couldn't pull away, at least until she put her veil back on.
"I don't know what you were hoping for but I hope you are satisfied."
He nodded his head absentmindedly.
"Well then, you can go back."
Coming out of the stupor, he laughed embarrassingly and went out the door.
—
After Christa made sure Leis was gone, she staggeringly made her way to bed. Streaks of black liquid falling from her sever orifices ceaselessly.
She swiftly took out a strange leaf and ate it. After some time, she finally controlled her erratic heart but her whole body screamed of excruciation.
Looking at the black liquid, she muttered with difficulty.
"Looks like my end is near."
