Chapter 109 - Daughter & Mother

Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, Light brought her hands on her face as she felt how much hot her own cheeks were.

'..He's just teasing me..I know that, but..'

Glancing at the villa she had to continue building, Light was about to return to her own work before she felt that there was a new notification in the System, but, this time, it wasn't directed at Ethan.

Extremely confused by this, she 'tapped' her finger on the air as the System Interface immediately appeared in front of her. Seeing that there was a golden ! on the [Quest] function, brought a surprised expression on her face as she tapped on it before she could see that she 'completed' a quest.

-----

//Hidden Quest Completed//

[Light's Strength]

Rank: SS

Objective: Enter Ethan's Domain(1/1)

Failure Conditions: Fail to enter Ethan's Domain(-0/1)

Penalty: Bond between Light and Ethan sealed(-0%/100%)

Rewards: [Qienta's Letter]

Reading the contents, Light couldn't help but sigh as she didn't believe what she had in front of her.

'My Mother is really..incredible'

This thought, brought her to turn her head to glance at Ethan as the latter was working hard for the structure of their floating island.

'Should I tell him..? If my mother sent this quest just for me...maybe I should read the contents first, and later, I'll decide if I will tell him or not..'

Deciding to do so, she tapped on the quest as it immediately dissipated before words began to appear next to her.

---

[...Hello, my Daughter. You must be asking yourself what the purpose of this letter may be? Or Why didn't I directly sent this Quest to Ethan? Well, I have important things to tell you. The first is, you have to help Ethan wake up. This isn't something you could understand from my memories, but, you have to make him fall asleep as it's the only way for him to return to the normal world now. He doesn't know how to use his own Domain, so, it's advised not to keep him in that space for too much time...]

Reading this far, made her sigh as she understood that, knowing Ethan, he wouldn't go to sleep before at least seeing the villa in its full shape.

'So, my mother used this to let me know that I have to let him fall asleep, but why didn't this letter arrive me from the moment I entered the space? If i had known this before, i wouldn't have..'

'Our relationship would never have changed in the same way...'

Deciding to continue reading the letter, Light stopped to glance at him as her cheeks were still red.

[You may be asking yourself now, why didn't I notify you the moment you entered the space? Well, that's because I wanted my Daughter to be in contact with Ethan as much as possible. You felt it during the time you spent with him, right? There's something special about that child..it isn't related to powers, but to something even better than that..]

Stopping again, she had another thought in her mind, but she knew that her mother would surely think ahead of her.

[...I don't know how to describe this feeling, but it surely is warming your heart, right...? The moment he touches you, he c.a.r.e.s.ses you, he...]

The fact she was 'casually' mentioning this kind of things, brought Light to think about it as she looked down. She understood why her mother hesitated to send this kind of message, and, being honest with herself, she knew that, now, she was truly thankful to her mother.

[...Yes. That feeling, is something you will have to treasure for your life. Even if you were intended to be of help for Ethan, the best I can ask for you is that you will be able to truly feel happy. It doesn't matter if you are a machine or not, nor if he has any other girl or not. And, S.e.x isn't dirty. Why do you even think that kind of act is classified as dirty? Humans copulate to strengthen their bond further, don't you wish to do the same with him..?]

Reading this part, brought her to flinch as she could feel as if her own mother was making fun of her now.

[..By the way, this isn't important. I am of the opinion that things will naturally develop as you two wish. If you truly don't want to go further with him, I can't say anything about it. Returning to talk about important things, it's better if you just let him go to sleep naturally, without forcing him, as it would be even worse. You have roughly around 24 hours to achieve this. After that amount of time, the Domain will start to slowly collapse as he can't maintain himself in this state any further.]

'...The fastest way, would be to wait until he would feel like sleeping himself. But, I have no way to understand if he will ever feel sleepy or not, so, the only thing I can do is..'

Understanding what she had to do, brought Light's eyes to widen in surprise as, the only way to make him go to sleep, without using any kind of 'forceful' way, was to ask him directly.

'..How can I ask him such a thing..!? He would surely think I'm only a girl who speaks a lot but in fact does not respect any of her own thoughts..'

With these thoughts in mind, she decided to finish the letter before continuing to think about it.

[..Obviously, there's a way for you to evade doing what are you thinking about. In the next few rest times you two will have, the System will inject a substance that does no harm to the body, but that will make him feel sleepy bit by bit. But, Don't misunderstand me, The Universe doesn't want to kill in any way its own experiment subject, so, it won't do anything harmful to him, and, accepted my Idea as the easiest way to deal with the situation. So, you don't have to worry..]

Her mother's words, made her sigh as she understood she had to read fully before jumping to conclusions.

[That's all I had to say regarding this situation. I hope you will take this letter to heart, and, that you will take care of him, now that I can't..

P.S.

As you know well, there should be no way for me to make the Universe assign this kind of quests, right? In reality, the only thing you need is a good balance. If it has a rank too high compared to the action required to be performed, it will never be accepted. The same goes for penalties and rewards. So, all I've done is make the quest itself 'acceptable' under these parameters, and now, I had the opportunity to write this letter to you. That's really all I had to say now.. ah, one last thing. take care of yourself too, and don't neglect your feelings, or your emotions in general. Because in the end, these are the ones who will remain more than anything else in the eternity we share... I hope we will be in contact with each other soon, my daughter. Know that I love you more than anyone else.]

Reading the last sentence of the letter, Light felt a tumult of emotions as, without even realizing it, tears were filling her eyes. But, her tears weren't of sadness. More than anything, she felt guilty of not really reflecting on how much her mother really loved her, and how stupid she had been for letting the objective vision of her life be enough to 'hate' her.

'I was really a stupid. I am sorry, mother. If you can hear my thoughts, know that I didn't want to judge you, I was just angry that you didn't react when they asked you to lock yourself in for the eternity to check over the cycle of reincarnation..'

Without expecting a reply, Light shook her head as she wiped her own tears while her expression quickly turned to a determined one.

'Right, I have an objective now. Which is to be sure that Ethan will exit his Domain within 24 hours..I can't let myself go with these thoughts..'

Thinking about this, she quickly returned to work on the villa as she wanted time to pass quickly to reach the next 'rest time'...

Her daughter's determined expression, brought a wide smile on Qienta's face as she touched the sphere that allowed her to see what was happening inside Ethan's domain..

'She's so focused...even though it's because I said it was her 'task', I can see that she really cares about Ethan, now. I'm glad..'

Thinking about this, she shook her head as it didn't matter if she 'cared' about him, or not.

'She has inherited traits of my personality, and this makes me feel so happy .. is this what all mothers feel when their daughter looks like themselves?'

"Thinking about it, this is the second time I intervene in their life..but, I couldn't let Ethan die because of something I didn't explain to my daughter.."

Looking down, she knew that there were other reasons for why she decided to contact her as, if she wanted, she could just implant this new information into Light's mind through the System.

Closing her eyes, her smile faded slightly as she added

"...You are wrong, Light. Your mother has a selfish part as well. I would like to see you happy for me too, but, I can't force my opinion and my own feelings for Ethan, as that would be no different from ordering a machine to do something... I just hope that you will understand how much happy he can make you feel..because I wouldn't let anyone else come closer to you, other than him.."

Saying this, Qienta decided it was better not to 'spy' on them anymore as she trusted that her daughter would surely be able to accomplish her task. With a heavy sigh, she had a single thought in her mind

'It's better if..I go to sleep.'

Giving one last glance at the sphere, she let it remain there while heading towards the bedroom...

Or is it Light now?", "When readers say that chapters in these days are all filled with 'Lovey Dovey' moments, but it's actually now that these kind of moments will 'start'", "For a mother like Qienta, her own daughter is the most precious thing she could ever have, even more than Ethan. But, it is inevitably to say that Ethan led to the creation of Light. So, for Qienta, who should be more important?")
