Jumping from branch to branch while carrying Master, I entered the house and headed straight for my room; opening the door, I set Master down on the bed and quickly put on some clothes before exiting the room and heading toward Master's room to get her some clothes as well. While doing so, I saw Lily, Simba, and Marlin all sitting at the table; I didn't see Talis, but she was probably just keeping her distance because Lily was getting all touchy with her.
"Hurry, Leader's disciple; I want to eat your delicious food!" Yelled Simba eagerly with a smile as he slammed his fists on the table, earning him a slap from Lily while Marlin just glared at him.
"Show some level of respect, Simba; what chef would want to cook for us when you act like that!?" Said Lily with a frown as she hit the back of Simba's head, reprimanding him and causing Alexander to chuckle.
Leaving them to argue, I passed the bathroom and entered Master's room, which was still destroyed, thanks to me, before walking past all the broken glass, taking each step carefully as I wasn't wearing any shoes or protection for my feet. Well, even if I were to step on the glass, I'm pretty sure my endurance is high enough that the glass wouldn't be able to puncture deeper than my skin, and besides, I could just instantly heal from it anyway.
'Hmm, speaking of healing, I didn't have time to think about it while fighting Simba and Marlin, but my healing capabilities seemed to have improved; I had received pretty severe wounds from them that usually would've taken multiple minutes to heal from, but they were all healed within a minute.' Thought Alexander with furrowed brows as he summoned his status panel and checked upon his skills, though after looking at it, he noticed only two changes.
////////////////////
Rebirth(Mythical)–lvl3↑
Lightning Cloak(Epic)–lvl2↑
////////////////////
Seeing that two of my skills had leveled up from that little fiasco with Marlin and Simba, I wasn't too surprised about [Rebirth] having leveled up after all, I had really died, and it did bring me back to life, though I was a little surprised about my [Lightning Cloak] leveling up; even though it's an epic, and should be easier to level up compared to my Mythical skills, I didn't expect it would level up that quickly.
"Maybe it was because I was in a stressful environment? I remember hearing back on Earth that experiencing stressful situations is critical for mental growth. Or maybe it was something else? Haa, I don't know, it's been nearly 17 years; I'm probably wrong." Muttered Alexander with a shake of his head as he exited Lavender's closet with a set of clothes for her.
Leaving Master's room, I passed by the kitchen as I headed back to my room, and surprisingly, no one was arguing.
"Heh, it's fine, Lily. To know someone is eager to eat the food you've prepared is the best compliment a chef can ever get." Said Alexander with a slight smile as he looked at Simba, who once again started slamming the table, while Lily just sighed and left him be.
Entering my room, I saw Master peacefully lying on the bed with her eyes closed, which at first glance caused me to think the worst had happened, though when I saw her eyelids flutter, I sighed in relief as I approached her.
"Hmm, is something the matter, Alexander?" Asked Lavender curiously as she opened her eyes and glanced at Alexander's troubled expression.
"Haa, no, you just scared me for a second there, that's all. Anyways, here are some clothes; you're not going to make me put them on you as well, are you?" Replied Alexander with a shake of his head as he handed the clothes to Lavender before folding his arms and giving her a look.
"I scared you? All I was doing was re- ohh, now I see." Remarked Lavender in confusion as she stood up and put on her clothes before suddenly nodding, followed by her mischievously smiling.
"Master, I'm not someone who is into religion, but I swear upon Goddess Eywa's name; if you purposely play a prank like that, I will disown you as my Master." Declared Alexander seriously while glaring at Lavender, who merely smirked before grabbing his arm and leaning into his embrace.
"Fufu, even so, you'd still be my Husband, no?" Asked Lavender with a small smile as she looked at Alexander, who didn't bother responding, only the look in his eyes hardening.
"Hehe, to think the day my own disciple would give me such a reprimanding look like one a father gives to their daughter. Stop worrying, Alexander; I'm not sadistic; I wouldn't ever do a prank like that, not with my current condition." Added Lavender with a slight chuckle as she shook her head before closing her eyes, causing Alexander's expression to lighten.
"You know, I can tell when you're being truthful, but for some reason, I'm not fully convinced." Remarked Alexander lightly as he and Lavender exited the room, approaching the kitchen while loud banging was heard.
Master didn't respond and merely chuckled, causing me to sigh and forget about it; so long as she doesn't play that prank and make my heart explode, I'm satisfied.
"Well, well, well, look who's finally decided to show themselves; you know, we can see the pond from the kitchen window, right?" Said Lily with a grin as she glanced at Alexander before focusing on Lavender, who blushed at her words, remembering all the things Alexander had done to her.
"We can, yet you were the only one peeking like a pervert." Said Marlin blandly as he eyed Lily, who clicked her tongue in response.
"Hehe, you haven't changed one bit, Marlin; still the same boring Dark Elf as I remember. Also, what did I tell you about wearing a cloak indoors?" Said Lavender with a slight chuckle as she approached Marlin before yanking his cloak on his body, revealing his appearance.
"Tch, and unfortunately, you haven't changed either." Replied Marlin as he looked at Lavender, though there was a smile on his face.
"Eh, I didn't realize you were so handsome, Marlin. Are all Elves as good-looking as you?" Asked Alexander in surprise as he got a good look at Marlin's straight eyebrows, strong jawline, prominent cheekbones, grey eyes, and thin lips.
"Oh my, Alexander, don't tell me you swing both ways?" Asked Lily with a smirk as she covered her mouth and constantly glanced between Marlin and Alexander with a subtle glint.
"No, why would you think that?" Replied Alexander in pure confusion as he glanced at Lily.
"Yes, Lily, why would you think that when Simba and I could hear the outrageously loud sounds he caused you and Lavender to make?" Said Marlin with a slight smirk, his words causing Lily to smile pridefully while Lavender blushed in shame as she hit the back of his head, which he could've dodged but didn't.
"I'm gone for a few decades, and you think you can speak to your formal leader however you want to, Marlin?" Remarked Lavender with a raised eyebrow while eyeing Marlin, who internally groaned, though he was thankful Lavender wasn't in her prime; otherwise, he'd be lying soaking wet on the ground.
"Oh please, Lav- Leader, this is how I speak to everyone, Kings, Queens, Nobles, and you; you know that." Stated Marlin calmly, causing Lavender to glare at him before huffing in annoyance and sitting down in her seat.
"STOP!!" Yelled Simba loudly, causing everyone to freeze and look at him.
"I'm hungry!" Added Simba as he eyed Alexander while practically salivating, causing Marlin to shake his head, Lily to sigh, Lavender to grab her face, and Alexander to chuckle.
"I'm also hungry!" Yelled Talis as she warily peeked her head from outside the window, her sudden appearance causing everyone to chuckle while Lily swiftly exited her seat and grabbed her.
"My little birdie is back! Oh, how I've missed you." Said Lily as she embraced Talis and stroked her feathers.
"Let me go, woman!" Exclaimed Talis, though all Lily heard were cute chirps, causing her to think Talis was enjoying her caresses.
"Alright, I'll get on it; just give me some time." Said Alexander as he approached a cabinet and grabbed his apron, wearing it over his clothes as he started preparing some food.

"Here, Bon Appétit; hope you all enjoy." Stated Alexander with a smile as he carried two plates while three others floated atop a mini tornado.
"Mhm, this looks delicious; thanks, Chef Alexander." Said Lily as she looked at the plate in front of her before kissing Alexander's cheek, causing Lavender to glare at her angrily.
"Thanks, Alexander. Thanks, Alex!" Said Marlin and Talis, respectively, while Simba immediately started eating.
"Thanks, Husband." Said Lavender in a sultry tone as she leaned forward and passionately kissed Alexander, glancing at Lily while flaunting her wedding ring.
"Heh, you're welcome, my Wife." Replied Alexander with a shake of his head as he glanced at Lavender, who was sporting a smug expression, while Lily huffed in annoyance.
Ignoring Lily and Master's battle, I grabbed the last plate, which was mine, and approached Master's seat before lifting her up with one hand and sitting down while setting her on my lap, again causing her to smugly eye Lily in victory.
"So, since it seems our nightly activities weren't a secret at all, did you and I end up having sex, Lily? Because shortly after you gave me your blessing, I don't remember anything." Asked Alexander curiously, causing Lavender to cruse underneath her breath while it was Lily's turn to smile smugly.
"Hehe, why yes, we did; you had filled me with your cum countless times that I couldn't even keep track. Though, too bad you don't remember anything since I'm positive it was the best sex you'll ever have." Remarked Lily with a grin as she looked at Lavender, who was angrily glaring at her, while Marlin just sighed in annoyance at the conversation.
"Um, do you know why I don't remember anything?" Asked Alexander, eating his food while looking at Lily, who awkwardly smiled.
"That's my fault; I-I was getting a little too into it and stopped holding back, and well, you passed out shortly after we started having sex." Replied Lily awkwardly as she looked away, while Alexander's expression constantly twitched.
