"Aria!"
I searched my room and couldn't find Aria in there. I became concerned and desperate in thought she might gone outside.
"Papa!"
When I heard her soft voice, I saw that Aria was looking at me from behind with a smile.
I immediately hugged Aria and patted her head gently. A breeze of relief touched me as I felt Aria in my embrace. "Where were you, Aria? You made me so worried."
"Papa was worried for me. He loves me so much. Papa, I will protect you and keep you safe from the world, I promise that no one will take us from you" Aria mused as she leaned into my embrace and rubbed her face into my chest.
"Why didn't you come out when I called you?"
"I was playing with you Papa, you couldn't find me, so I showed myself." She lied to me and didn't disclose that she sought out and killed the landlord including his man. Her smile kept on her face, I didn't think too much as we continued to hug each other.
I sigh as we spend time together and the day passes.
The next day, Erina had already left for work, she was unaware of the quarrel with the landlord yesterday and I didn't tell her. She is barely able to earn money for our daily food, I don't want her to worry about rent.
The morning was usual as I made breakfast for Aria using my magic skills. She ate everything with a satisfying smile and left nothing on the plate. "Papa, your handmade meals are so tasty and delicious in the entire world, I will eat food only made by you."
"My lovely daughter, I feel so good when you like my food. It flatters my heart."
While I was doing the dishes, Aria's sweet words and eating my meals made my day. After I completed household chores, I didn't have anything else left to do.
"What should I do now? I don't really wish to go to school, because it's useless and they can't offer to teach me, I have completed my graduation from holy church and I am top in all magical elements and arithmetic. But on Earth, schools don't teach anything useful other than maths and science but the main reason I refused to go school is..." I pondered and stopped thinking any further which only brought unpleasantly memories.
Aria found me dazed out and asked. "Papa, what are you thinking?"
"Huh? I-I nothing important. I am thinking about you and how adorable you look."
Her cheek blushed and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
"What happened, why your cheeks are suddenly red?"
I asked and saw she turned her face toward me. "Papa, I wanna go out with you!"
"Huh? You wanna go out?"
"Yes, I want to go out with you."
Silent lingered in the room as Aria kept staring at me with a smile. I mused "She wants to go outside and see the world, but it's too dangerous, she isn't normal and her exquisite appearance would cause trouble for sure. Even I can't always lock her at home, one day she has to leave."
Thinking about the last phrase in my mind brought some unpleasant feelings and loneliness but I couldn't define my and Aria's fate.
Looking into Aria's smile, I sighed and spoke. "O-okay, I will take you out."
Aria instantly hugged me and grinned with joy. "I'm going out with Papa,"
We headed toward the exit but before I stopped Aria, she looked at me with a confused face and asked. "Papa, what happened."
"Before we go out, I want you to disguise yourself, your extreme beauty would cause commotion in the world. Here, I am giving you a magic skill, use this and hide your true appearance."
I put my hand on Aria's back and transferred a skill to her. She felt the energy flow in her body and found a new magic skill. She used the spell and her body was covered in white particles.
"Ethereal Masquerade: This skill temporarily conceals a person's true appearance, making it impossible for even a centuries-old mage to discern someone using it. I recall the time I used this skill to walk through a public space in another world. My appearance immediately drew attention, and in that moment, this skill proved to be incredibly useful."
The particle covering Aria's body suddenly disappears, her white hair turns dark, and her white skin remains unchanged. The pink eyes with heart-shaped pupils are replaced with sparkling blue eyes. Even though her appearance has changed from her previous self it's too captivating.
(Note: Similar to book cover)
"Huh? Did the spell fail? But I can see she has changed a little bit, the spell has only been able to hide her goddess looks and true beauty. However, her appearance will sure attract people's interest." I pondered and examined Aria closely. She looked at herself and walked toward me.
"Papa, how do I look?"
"You look so cute my daughter, but I think we shouldn't go out—"
"No! I wanna go out with you Papa, please!"
I couldn't help but sigh, convincing her to go out seems to be impossible.
"Okay, but wear this and hide your face,"
I put a white cute hat on her hair, it belonged to Erina, I purchased it for her after I collected enough money to gift her for doing everything for me.
"*Spunk!*"
I opened the door, and it made a rusted metal noise. Gazing at the entrance, I examined the road, it was empty.
"Aria, let's go."
"I'm going out with Papa! I'm so happy!"
I held Aria's hand as she did mine, but her hold was tighter than mine. I looked at her and saw her cheeks were red as she was staring at me with a smile.
I blushed and looked away in embarrassment, feeling my heart pounding with excitement only looking at mine, I cursed myself for thinking unnecessary thoughts toward her. Aria suddenly pulled my hand and pointed toward cars.
"Papa, what are these boxes moving?"
"Those are cars, they are used to transport vehicles. These are common in this world."
Aria was astonished witnessing cars for the first, it was an entirely new thing for her. She discovered many other things such as cycles, phones, and Traffic lights.
Aria examined everything with enjoyment as she was completely lost in her world. We passed by some random people; their eyes ignored me and lingered on Aria's small, captivating appearance.
"Hay that girl you see there."
"Wow! She looks so beautiful. Is she is foreigner?"
"She doesn't look like from here, such a cute little."
They were astonished by her beauty and completely ignored my existence, it felt like I wasn't even there. I didn't bother their gazes and continued to spend time with Aria.
As I was walking while Aria held my hand, she glanced back at my ass with red cheeks. "It's Papa's butt, they look good and soft, I wanna squeeze them, but he will be anger."
After many thoughts from holding back, Aria couldn't control her desire as she move her hand and squeezed my butt.
I felt a soft squeeze behind and my spine jolted from the gentle touch, I sensed that all my blood cells were rampaging and rushing toward my lower part. My manhood instantly became hard and It was a feeling that I never felt before.
"Ahh~" I soft moan escapes from my mouth in pleasure and my legs become numb. I looked and saw Aria's hand retreat in the blink second as her crimson cheeks looked at me with surprise.
"Aria, what are you doing?" Balancing myself, I asked her as she looked confused face.
"Papa, I didn't do anything." She lied and acted innocent. I stared at her with a lingering sigh.
"This girl, today she just squeezed my ass and lied, what would she do tomorrow, I can't image." I refused the ideas from thinking any further and continued to walk. Aria was still looking at me with red cheeks and thought about the moment she squeezed my ass.
"Papa's butt was so soft and warm, just like mom described. I wanna explore Papa's body more."
