Chapter 199: Jealousy

“It seems that was a bit lost… My dear little sister, what’s taking you so long? I’ve already prepared your dress for today, be it right or uncomfortable that dress has none. Can I ask why are you taking a long time for you to change?” He was waiting near a bathroom where his sister was changing into her dress and then he realizes an intent that aimed at his life

He turned around and then he sees a black-haired man whos a little smaller compared to his height. Dressed in a dozen or so wounds that frighten anyone that sees his face, a man filled with bloodlust appears. He didnt have his sword within his reach since he left it thinking that he wouldn’t need such a tool

“Silas Landers!! I never thought I’d meet a player who’s presumably dead walking around in the trials. I haven’t forgotten about my grudge against a bastard such as yourself, it seems im blessed to meet you today,” Seconds after their encounter a large gust of wind surged in their surroundings

Esther quickly arrived at the scene whilst she wore the clothes picked by his elder brother and a sword in her hand. She was ready for a fight but she places her sword back in her inventory after she witnesses the commotion. There weren’t any dangers, rather the wind was just reacting to the players that possess their power

“Hahahahahahaha… I knew you were alive!!! There’s no way that you the person who beat me in the contract succession would easily die,” Zephyr laughs and hugs his sworn brother after he reunited after five whole years had passed

“Hoh…? That energy… So you’ve contracted yourself with one of the four Anemois did you pick?”

“Oh, I didn’t pick any of the four… I contracted with Njord, the owner of the wind and the sea. Since you’ve gotten Aeolus who reigns supreme of the four winds I would be weaker if I chose a single wind. Enough of that, I came just I give you a spook, but I’ve never thought you’d be related with an acquaintance of madame,” Soon after he said those words a presence appeared at Esther’s back and she was immediately caught by the hands of a red-haired individual

“What a coincidence this is… Zephyr, today’s your break we came to the party so that every member can relax and have fun. Take your friend and talk, I’ll see that I can entertain my little junior~ Whoa… You sure have gotten a lot more aggressive, can’t the two of us get along?” Airis loses her grip after she dodges an attack aimed at her abdomen

“What do you want you demoness!!!” She quickly takes her sword after she escapes from her grasp and enters a stance

“Calm down sweety, I’ve never meant to startle you… Might I remind you that this isn’t a battlefield? That wasn’t a sneak attack I just wanted to hug you and that’s all there to it. I have to admit you’ve gotten better from the last time I saw you,”

“Thanks, I’ve trained my sword so I can finally cut your off,”

“Sweety, I wasn’t talking about your sword but you did improve since the last time we met, I was talking about your appeal. It seems that you’ve gotten a lot more confident with what you wear, I wonder how he’ll react to your dress. Wanna come? I’m great at detecting a person’s mana frequency or the chi that leaks from their body. I can find him without any problems, you’ll just have to follow me,” For some reason, Esther could sense a change in her demeanor

When it came to being born with a talent for the sword she wasn’t the brightest but in sensing a person’s aura she was a prodigy. It was feint but she could sense a change of heart in this woman rumored to shower in the blood of her enemy. She was about to think that maybe, she has a chance to choose another path. Later on, she stopped in her tracks and Esther bumped into her back and fells to the ground

“Hey watch where you’re goin~” Once she recovered from her fall, she felt a chill that passes through her spine. She gazes back at Airis and she could only feel was an aura as cold as ice. When she tries to learn more about her behavior she tried to follow the direction of her eyes. Once she found the reason for Airis’s lifeless expression she too came to be speechless

“Hahahahahahahaha… You’re pretty good at this, I didn’t know you’ve played this card game as well. Oh look they have desserts!! Let’s get some before they ran out,” A cold and dreadful glare appeared in the eyes of these two lasses once they found their target

Morris had a bright and cheerful expression that was seen in the way he laughs and how he came to enjoy his time. Though the reason why their in such a state was the fact that he was accompanied by a mysterious Elfling. Her arms wrapped themselves in his arms and their bodies were close to each other whilst they enjoy the party

“I’m surprised that you haven’t killed that elf,” Esther tries to joke about their sight after she snaps back to her senses after finding herself glaring like a lunatic

“Why would I kill her? I don’t have the right to do anything like that… Morris never promised me anything and he never told anyone that he likes them. In all honesty, I think my reaction is quite normal, I just experience a shock that I couldn’t anticipate. But if you’re cowering because of that girl then I suggest that you look for your brother. I resolved myself that if this ever came to be true if you’re afraid of getting hurt then leave,” Esther wasn’t sure if she would either run away or follow the advice from the player she was trying to surpass

Even when she was scared if that girl was someone that Morris was hiding to protect her from harm’s way, she wanted to know. Both of them felt their bones getting heavier after they tried to reach his side, was it fear if their assumptions were correct? They can’t even shake off the feeling and when they took another step their bones felt like they were about to break. Their eyes were full of doubt and their heart was restless when they took another step

“Oh, it’s you guys I’ve never thought I’d see the two of you… Can you give me a sec? I just need to wait for someone to pick her up,” They didn’t know what occurred but their vision became blank and the next thing they knew was that they reached his side. They found the Elfling sleeping in his lap after she was drained of her energy. A few minutes later, she was escorted by her brother that was worried sick when she lost sight of her

“I can’t believe I’ve gotten so careless… I owe you one, I didn’t think that my men would’ve lost sight of my sister,” Persevis kneeled in front of many people whilst his men takes his sister to her room

“Don’t sweat it, it seems that she enjoyed her time at the party. Just make sure that she’s fine afterward, I don’t know if it’s good if she ate a ton of sweets,”

“I’ll make sure that she’s okay~ Oh my look at the time!! I have a lot of things to do, I love for us to continue our chat but I’m busy. Morris if you need anything just asked my men and I’ll gladly help,” Persevis quickly takes his leaves after he notices that the two girls in his arms were restless about his presence

’Well, that was weird… But it can’t get any weirder than this… What’s wrong with these two, they can’t let go of my arm,’

Morris was left with this flowery maiden in the reach of his hands, and the two of them were attached into his arms. He tried many things like persuasion, an excuse to leave for the bathroom, and more but they didn’t budge. He wasn’t a guru when it comes to love, you can even say his situation is complicated and beyond his anticipation. Next to his body were discovered to be two of his characters that wouldn’t even dare to leave his side

“Say… We’re the two of you jealous? Seeing your pouting faces then it’s a yes, seriously you two are a handful pun intended. I can see Esther being jealous and everything in the mix but seriously you too? Airis you’re a freaking murderer this isn’t like you,”

“Shut up… It’s your fault… I haven’t seen you for a couple of months and the next thing I see is that you’re having fun with a girl… If you’re like anyone else I would’ve tossed you away. But you aren’t… It’s hard to admit but I can feel a sense of peace when you’re by my side,” It happened again, he sees his characters behaving like a person rather than something he could anticipate

Seeing this side of a bloodthirsty murderer made him feel a little guilty for all the things he put them through. He isn’t blind, he can see that these girls have something that makes them feel and act like this on his side. After his break from his duties, he notices that he was a hopeless romantic and he drowns himself from work. He hasn’t had any kind of experience since his first love life which ended up as a fail

“W-What are you looking at? I’ve worn this because I thought you’d like it,” Esther and Airis couldn’t seem to look him in the eye, and the three of them were stuck in an awkward position

’Man up you spineless bitch… Just because you had it bad with your first relationship doesn’t mean it’ll be the same as the next one… Why, why am I like this when it comes to dating? I rather fight a lunatic to the death instead of have a casual date… Plus, I haven’t ever come to know about the two of them, love doesn’t just work like in the novels. It’s complicated in real life, but I do have a way to resolve this whole thing,’

“Hey, uh do you guys want to go on a separate date? I meant to say that I’m not planning on two-timing okay!! You guys seem to be shaken when I was having fun with Sophie… If it makes you feel any better, do you want to have a date?” He came up with an idea where everyone would get what they want. Truth be told they planned on spending this party with him alone on their own. But that didn’t come they predicted but with his suggestion, they’ve worked something out
