Chapter 271: Capable man

*****

“Oh! Aurora, we’re back. How are you feeling? Gaahh!… Hey, what happened?”

When I entered my room, I was greeted by a surprise attack, or rather someone impact against me immediately I opened the door, realizing it was Aurora, I stood, uncomprehending for a moment until I heard her.

“Waahh~! I’m glad you’re okay… sniff~ I-I was so worried… hic y-you… there was a loud sound and…. and then the portal disappeared…. bwaaahh~”

“This… hey!!, Elena, didn’t you explain anything to him?”

I knew, I myself didn’t tell her exactly what happened, but with how smart Elena is and how she always seems to understand me, I believed that she had explained to Aurora or at least reassured her that I was okay.

“Yes I did, my Lady. When I understood what happened, I brought her here and told her she could rest assured, that you were fine.”

“Big Sister, we knew you were fine, but I don’t think we were able to convey that to her properly. We didn’t know how much we could tell her.”

“I understand, well it’s too my fault, I didn’t have room to explain either. The truth is that I didn’t expect all of that to happen all of a sudden…. This, Aurora, as the girls said, there is an explanation. I’m glad you cared about me, but…”

“Wuaaahhh~”

“Hey, since when do you have a crying personality? No, rather, stop doing it… I feel like you’re going to regret it later and I’m going to pay the consequences.”

“I’m glad you’re okay…. buaaa~ that’s good…really good…sniff~”

“wait, stop, don’t cry for me, don’t get out of your character that gives me anxiety…. I don’t know if this is good or bad Elena, Alice, help me!”.

The truth is that I didn’t know how to deal with the situation. Aurora was more worried than I originally thought and, although it should be good for my plan to get her into my harem that she cares about me, I don’t feel good at all.

Originally, I was accommodating Kiel in the dimensional stone. Although I wanted to talk to that woman who looked like Aeloria first, she was still in hibernation or whatever, and according to Kiel, it could take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.

So there was nothing left to do but wait for her to wake up. That’s when, because Number One detonated, I left the dimensional rock as soon as I had the chance and integrated into afternoon classes like it was nothing, instead of coming here.

I thought she would be reassured by Elena and Alice’s explanation, but apparently she was not. Now Aurora was crying on my chest, very worried.

She, usually, when she was Auran, was a quiet, friendly boy who was easy to talk to and get along with.

I didn’t know how much of that was her faking it, but that’s mostly what I and others saw every day.

I don’t know if it will change now that she revealed her identity and gender. But that aside, when she interacts with me, as Seraphina, she is less friendly and always walking around defensive and fearful.

Only lately did she seem to stop fearing me, although I still feel some defensiveness against me and my attempts to seduce her.

The point is that only today I have seen more facets of her than I have in the last few months. Now I really wonder if this is, in a way, her letting me into her walled heart a little, which in itself would be a very good thing.

But therein lay the dilemma of my current situation. The truth is that, for me, the matter was not so serious or worrisome. I was merely wasting a newly created doppelgänger, to the extent that I thought I could go to class normally without any problems.

’Damn, I should have come right away after class! No, I shoul have come as soon as I got out of the dimensional stone.’

After classes, instead of coming, I went back to her house, retrieved the storage my doppelgänger threw before entering the portal, packed up all her stuff and checked that there was nothing strange at the scene.

Not only that, I took the liberty of waiting for Elena and Alice while I ate a leisurely ice cream and watched the sunset in a nearby park.

’I’m a fool for not making her a priority…. It’s like Silvia says, I should have more awareness of how others feel and empathy.’

I was definitely worried to the point that it came out a rare side of her and I don’t know if I’m capable of deserving it.

Now I don’t know what to say to her and I have no excuses. If I say it as lightly as I did, Maybe she will expel me and now even put cannons on her defenses, and that was not good.

So, after reassuring her, I tried to explain to her as seriously as I could, without underplaying her feelings, I tried to be as reasonable as possible and even explained to her my doppelganger ability , no matter if she connected something after.

..

.

“…”

“So… who you were with was a doppelganger.”

“…”

In the end, lucky or not she stopped crying and her reaction was more lukewarm than I thought. But still, her look, devoid of any emotion as I explained things to her, made me nervous and I wanted to change the subject.

“By the way, as I said before Thhey showed up, I wanted you to stay to check on your health. We have a spare room and I already brought your things.”

“…”

“You don’t have to worry, Elena basically doesn’t use that room and there’s nothing there.”

“…”

“Your body is now something special and I need to keep a close eye on you for any possible reactions and…”

“….”

“Ya, okay! I can’t take it anymore, say something, I’m getting anxious about your silence.”

I thought I could change the subject, but her impassive gaze sent me over the edge. I wanted to know what she was thinking, but I found that resonance didn’t work, as she could also disguise her intentions with her blessing.

“Give me back.”

’Give me back? Give what back…? No, wait, did she realize I took it?’

Remembering what I did a few hours ago, it was discovered. I thought about it and Ella Maybe she was telling me that, if I gave it back to her, she would forgive me for worrying her.

It was a pity, since it was going to be an object of study, but I guess, if that gets me her forgiveness, I should be okay.

“….Here it is.”

From my storage I pulled out what earlier Number One had kept when she entered Aurora’s room: a sexy panty. Pitifully, I had no leeway to check whether it was worn or not.

“Big Sis, I don’t think that’s what I…”

“Miss Aurora, please take ’George’ and help me put some sense into her.”

“Hold it right there, Elena! Put that away. Don’t think I don’t know you’ve been trying to get even all day. You’re only doing it for personal reasons.”

“(¬_¬ )”

“You don’t deny it! And stop trying to pass it on to Aurora, I’m not giving you any sweets I brought back from my trip. hey!! Aurora, don’t take it, wait! wait! what did I do! you asked me for them”.

“Give it back my worry! I must have been crazy to worry about someone like you!”

“No, wait, Aurora! I’m sorry, but violence is not the solution…. Wait… Are you embarrassed? Ugh!!!”

“You hopeless damn pervert!”

“Miss Aurora aim for the head, maybe that will fix it!”

“No, not to my beautiful face noooo!”

There I was, being brutally beaten. Honestly, I don’t know if I deserve it or not, but I feel it’s good that she only seems to be embarrassed about what happened and not holding a grudge against me for unintentionally downplaying her situation, it seems her heart didn’t close its doors for me.

Honestly, yes it was my mistake, and I think it’s something I need to correct.

The truth is, it doesn’t hurt at all. After all, she is a mage and her strength and physical abilities are far behind me. But if it satiates her heart, I’m fine with that.

But I also think it’s unfair. She made me misunderstand that she knew I had her panties. Also, if I’m not mistaken, I saved her life, and I think it was twice.

Another thing is that to mention that my main self, went to enjoy with the feline family.

’Haaa~ the world is so unfair…. Also, I shouldn’t have returned them. This was my biggest loss today.’

“Miss Aurora, you can put more strength. This is also a doppelgänger, so you shouldn’t have any consideration. Besides, he’s still in pain.”

“Elena!!! I’ll remember this… No, Aurora, let’s handle it calmly…. Don’t get physical reinforcement…. Noooo!!!”

“Die.”

’I will definitely give all the sweets I brought from the demonic world to Selene, this black-hearted woman who calls herself my servant and girlfriend doesn’t deserve even one.’

*****

“Lily!!!”

“Sweetheart!!!”

At that point, we hadn’t even reached Lily’s place when, on the way, we bumped into her. As soon as I saw her, I jumped on her and she too ran towards me with open arms.

Mwah-mwah-mwah

We hugged each other tightly as I showered her with kisses and she showered me with kisses, until finally we had a long, passionate kiss on the lips.

“Muaawwaa!”

..

.

“I missed you, Lily.”

“Me too, Sweetheart.”

“Hey, you two! If you’re done, move along. If I hadn’t cast a presence inhibition spell, you’d be a sight.”

Finally, after a while, we parted and someone’s (Eira) angry voice reminded us that we are in the middle of a busy, crowded street, so we continued on our way, but I couldn’t help but ask Lily

“. Lily, what are you doing here?”

The four of us walked towards Lily’s place. It was still more than a block away, and I didn’t understand why Lily was here instead of at her place.

“Well… the thing is, I was a little bit excited about your arrival and decided to wait for you outside.”

“Oh, that makes sense.”

“No, it doesn’t! It’s not just outside! We’re several blocks away!”

“But Eira, technically she waited for us outside, correct? Don’t complicate yourself with little details.”

“Yeah, dear, little details. ”

“눈_눈”

“… stop, don’t look at me like that…, the truth is that I was so anxious that I walked a little to see them faster, Sweetheart!!!”

“Oh, Lily… I wanted to see you right away too.”

“Sweetheart…”

“Lily…”

“Hey!! you two, really, stop it already!!!”

“…By the way, Sweetheart, I think Eira needs a…”

“Yes, I understand, Lily. In fact, I plan to give her all the love she needs today.”

“That’s what I mean, Sweetheart. You know, she calls me ’old hag’ more often now. My little heart can’t take it anymore. You’ve got to take all that pent-up frustration out of her. I’m willing to give up the first round.”

“You two, stop talking like I’m not here! Who’s frustrated?”

“Yes, I’ll be sure to fill her up in recompense for the whole week I was gone, not just her, but all of them…!”.

“I’m glad you’re a capable man, Sweetheart. Well, let’s hurry! The sooner the better!!!”

“Don’t ignore me!!!”
