Wizard World Irregular

“Mother, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but let me say this,” Lily said with a solemn tone. “The Ethan of the past is not the same Ethan you faced today. His background is not simple.”

“What do you mean?” Leah arched an eyebrow.

“What I’m about to tell you is only a guess,” Lily replied. “But I think Ethan is born from a Noble Family in Midgard.”

“And what are you basing this on? I know that he is an orphan, and no one knows who his real parents are. But that doesn’t mean that you can just make up a story about his background.”

“Like I said, this is only my guess,” Lily stated. “But I believe that this guess of mine is accurate. However, even if I am wrong, I will still not leave his side.

“You might not think of him as a threat to our Clan right now, but I believe that if you push him into a corner, he will make you understand that he is someone you shouldn’t provoke no matter what. Please take that into consideration when you return and talk to my father about him.”

Leah sighed deeply because she could tell how serious her daughter was in keeping Ethan as her life-long partner.

“I just hope that you don’t regret this choice in the future, Lily,” Leah replied. “You and Ethan are still young. There are still many things that can happen, which will change his view on life.”

“It doesn’t matter,” Lily replied. “Regardless of his choice, even if he decides to make the world his enemy, I will continue to remain by his side.”

“Even if our Clan becomes his enemy?”

“Ethan is not the type to provoke anyone without reason. If there ever comes a time when our Clan becomes his enemy, then that only means that it was the Clan that took the initiative to antagonize him.”

“You didn’t answer my question.” Leah insisted. “If Ethan becomes our enemy, which side will you be fighting with?”

Lily smiled faintly. “Mother, don’t ask a question you already know the answer to. Just like you have chosen Father, I have chosen Ethan. Whether we regret our decision or not, both of us will see it to the end. Isn’t that what it means to love someone?”

Leah looked at her daughter in surprise because she never thought that she would hear such words coming from her daughter.

“It seems that your journey to the past has changed you,” Leah commented.

“Yes,” Lily replied. “I climbed the stairs to womanhood during my stay in the Lands of Alastor.”

“Fine,” Leah said in surrender. “I will support your decision. But, you will have to bring Ethan to Southshire at the next possible opportunity. Your father is not a very patient person.”

“… I will do my best,” Lily nodded.

Lily knew that her mother was right.

Her father wasn’t a patient person, and the only reason why he didn’t personally come to the academy to see Ethan this time was due to the joint persuasion of his wives.

“I’ll stay in the academy for a few days,” Leah stated. “The Headmaster had proposed an idea to me when I arrived so that I could see the current state of the academy. But, knowing Professor Rinehart, there is a deeper meaning behind it.”

“I don’t delve into politics, Mother,” Lily commented. “This is what adults do. I want to stay out of it, if possible.”

This time, it was Leah’s turn to smile. She had no intention of dragging her daughter into the muddy world of adults because she was still too young to understand the workings of politics.

“Tell Ethan later that I will have a proper talk with him tomorrow,” Leah said. “Also, tell him that I will be asking about his secret. Whether he will tell me or not will be up to him.”

“You still haven’t given up, Mother?”

“How can I give up? This is your future we are talking about.”

“Hah~ fine. Have it your way.”

The two talked for a few more minutes before Leah undid the ice covering the door as well as the soundproofing magic that she had cast inside the room.

As soon as the magic had been lifted, the door suddenly opened, and Lyall fell on the floor.

Clearly, the young lady was trying her best to listen to the conversation inside the room but failed to do so.

Leah could only shake her head helplessly at her other daughter’s antics.

She already knew that the other children of her husband had superhuman senses, including hearing.

This was why she decided to use soundproofing magic to prevent anyone from listening to her conversation with her daughter.

———————

While Lily and her family were busy talking in the infirmary, Ethan was resting inside his room.

Currently, he was lying on the bed, wearing only his underwear as three ladies massaged his body.

Luna was giving him a head massage.

Lilian was massaging his arms and hands, while Emma was giving him a foot massage.contemporary romance

He didn’t suffer any backlash from using his Grand Aria, but he was quite exhausted from the duel.

Because of this, his three lovers offered to give him a massage, and he agreed with their proposal.

The young man knew that they were just worried about him, so he allowed them to do what they wanted.

“Luna, I used up your lucky charm,” Ethan said. “Without it, I wouldn’t have been able to beat Lily’s mother. So, thank you.”

“Un,” Luna lovingly caressed the side of his face. “Tomorrow, I will give you a few more lucky charms that you can use.”

“Luna, what lucky charm?” Selene, who was lying on the pillow beside Ethan, asked.

“I’ll let you see it tomorrow,” Luna replied. “Maybe, you can use it too.”

Luna could condense her power and store it inside a person’s heart to serve as a magic battery for them.

She also had them inside her body, allowing her to use Moon Magic any time.

However, she only planned to use them as a last resort.

Unless the situation was dire, she would not let anyone know that she could use her magic even if it wasn’t the night of the full moon.

Lilian, who had finished massaging Ethan’s right hand, looked at her lover with concern.

“Do you think Lily’s mother will get in the way of your relationship with her?” Lilian asked.

“I don’t know,” Ethan replied. “But I won’t let them separate the two of us. It’s not just Lily. All of you girls are my lovers. If someone tries to separate us all, I will become their enemy.”

“What if the world tries to separate us?” Lilian asked in a teasing tone. “What will you do if that happens?”

“Then I will make the world my enemy.”

“Can you really do that?”

Before Ethan could answer Lilian’s teasing question, Emma answered her question first.

“He can,” Emma replied. ‘Besides… this wouldn’t be the first time such a thing happened.’

Emma, of course, didn’t say the second part of her thoughts.

Lilian looked at Emma with great interest, but she no longer said anything.

She had seen Ethan’s resolve to fight for his lover.

The young lady understood that if she were in the same situation as Lily, Ethan would not hesitate to do the same thing. Just the thought of it warmed her heart.

Of course, she didn’t have any intention of letting that happen.

Just like Lily, she was also serious about Ethan.

If her family got in the way, she was willing to run away and elope with him!

Ethan, who wasn’t aware of what her lovers were thinking, gradually relaxed and fell asleep.

He knew that the next time he opened his eyes, he would have to set up a proper talk with Lily’s Mother and try his best to prevent the situation from escalating any further.
