Chapter 198: I didn’t have any ulterior motives, okay!

This was uncomfortable. 

Perhaps that was just an understatement. 

This was more than just uncomfortable. 

"By the way, she called you son, didn't she? It's almost mom's lunchtime, why don't you have a talk?" Elsa said. 

I gave her a cold glare. "Are you stupid? These discussions should be had in person." I grinded my teeth.

Besides, there were three outsiders here. 

She gave me a blank stare. I guess she was just trying to alleviate the situation but- yeah, probably not the best approach. 

Elsa pouted as she stared out of the window. She was pretty much going to bounce back the moment we got home. Her mood swings were always fast.

I still didn't want to take her there without mom though. 

We were actually flying quite fast. Not as fast as John, but definitely fast.

Our plane pretenders were always in sync. And since we were inside this compartment, I didn't feel too ashamed. 

I did feel stupid though. 

Sigh. 

"I'll teleport us to our home when we get close to the academy. It shouldn't be that hard." Marg grabbed my hand and smiled. 

Well, I couldn't say no to that. I gave her hand a gentle squeeze and I could feel my worries getting slightly lighter. It was more like her warmth was melting everything away. 

After the incident that day, I actually studied first aid thoroughly. I never wanted to feel like I could lose someone just because I was inexperienced or something. I even found a course online about how I could use radiation to heal. Though I needed money for it and I had to use the memory instiller again. 

I didn't have the money before and now that I had Enira's healing, I could use the instiller. Maybe I could even cheat my way ahead- though that probably was a bad idea. I didn't want to accidentally screw up my memory again.

Enira's powers really were amazing though and she was gaining more abilities. 

Come to think of it, what new powers did Enira get?

Hmm… she was awfully quiet. I guess when I dropped her, she got a bit mad. I could just summon her, but with the little space we had, it probably wasn't the best idea.

I sighed again and just stared at my feet.

This really wasn't going anywhere. And there weren't that many interesting things on the Holo either. Just how the hell did Merin spend all his time in the room looking at his Holo?

"You know-" But then, Johnathan took up some courage and- "I heard she's with you now. Is she- well?"

It took me a second to process what he actually meant.

"That's no longer your concern," Marg answered on my behalf. Her voice was cold and she was staring at him with a bit of rage. Though she looked fairly normal, I could tell she was mad. "It would be wise to just mind your own business."

"Right. Thank you for taking her in." He bowed his head a little and stopped talking. 

Marg looked like she had something more to say, but she didn't. 

I didn't say anything either. I didn't actually know what to say. 

And more importantly, the hell just happened?

***

It took exactly an hour and a half before we arrived near the island. We were still pretty high and the island was a few kilometers away.

'Ah, finally!' I wanted to jump in joy, but I controlled myself. The last hour and a half were utterly boring and dull. If it weren't for the comfort of Marg's hand, I'd have probably fallen asleep. 

Actually, it might not have been bad falling asleep on Marg's shoulder. 

Tch! A missed opportunity. 'Maybe we should do a train journey or something?'

"Alright-" Marg grabbed my arm. "The three of us are leaving. Our house is located in the suburbs. You should find the house easily if you just ask about Helio. Oh and don't forget the suitcase." Marg winked at the brat.

"Right!" The kid sure was pumped. 

He didn't even complain! If only my little sister was that obedient.

Elsa had actually fallen asleep and she was resting her head against the wall. She just woke up and looked around in confusion.

"Alright then headmaster," I said, staring at the old man. "Thanks for the ride." I kind of didn't want to be here anymore though. 

He already heard our plans long ago but didn't say anything. 

The guy just chuckled and said nothing. Typical. 

And in an instant, the world turned black- or rather purple and we started to travel. 

Marg was grabbing me, and though Elsa was traveling just fine, she kind of grabbed my sleeve and was hanging on to me. I could hear her yawn but just focused on looking ahead.

A light appeared before our eyes and well, now we were falling. 

"HEY, HEY! Wha!"

"WHOOOAH!" Elsa sure seemed to have fun. She was definitely awake now. "WOOHOOO!"

We were about three kilometers up, falling solidly. 'Oh boy.' This did not look good. 'OH BOY!'

In an instant, my heart started racing. My palms got sweaty and I knew, this was going to be a disaster.

"Sorry, kind of forgot about the altitude!" Marg giggled but then grabbed me again. 

And- 

Everything froze. The wind that was pressing against my eardrums also froze. 

Even Elsa froze. Only Marg and I were not frozen, and we weren't falling anymore either. 

Instead, Marg tried something and flashed in a purple light. 

A second later, we were back on the ground immediately and Elsa was still falling but, only from half a meter high. Well, she sure was frozen.

I could move, so I grabbed her and fixed her posture and stance. 

"This is?" It was pretty amazing if nothing else. 

'So, that day, she was doing this?'

"Let's talk later. This is pretty hard."

The world resumed ticking. 

And Marg fell on her knees, sweating slightly. She was panting heavily.

"Ummm…" I was about to say a lot of stuff. 

"Yes, I can stop time, so stop looking at me like that. And no, I'm okay. But a bit breathless because I couldn't adjust from that altitude to this in an instant like you."

Now that she mentioned it, I didn't actually feel a thing. 

"WHHAOHHhhh?? Huh?" Elsa was a bit confused as instead of falling, she just landed safely. "Oh, man." The hell did this kid want? She was sweating slightly but that was all. "Oh, you okay?"

And now she noticed Marg?

"Fine." Marg stood up, still sweating. "Well, this is our home, let's go in?"

We were right in front of our house. 

"RIGHT!" Now Elsa was definitely excited. 

Anyway, we went in. 

***

"Welcome back, the bath is ready and so is lunch, would you like to indulge in worldly pleasures first or some other pleasure?" The maid, bowed, tilting the hem of her dress. 

I honestly didn't understand what she actually meant. Like what the hell?

A second later the bunny girl kind of giggled and "Pardon me. I shouldn't have watched something." She cleared her throat. "Please come in master and –" She gave Elsa a glance. "Masters." She was still wearing the same maid outfit, though her chest didn't seem as tight as before. I guess she was finally wearing her own underwear, rather than Marg's.

I berated myself for noticing it.

I sighed. This was getting slightly tedious. 

Anyway, I grabbed Marg's hand and- "To the spring now."

I didn't want no for an answer. 

We had a very important discussion and I needed a lot of privacy. 

Plus she could relax in the spring too.

"I'm kind of sweaty too," Elsa said, obviously grinning devilishly. 

I had a feeling she knew a lot more than I thought. 

"Use the master bathroom. It's that way." My sister had a habit of sometimes pranking me in the bathroom, so- "Be sure to make sure, she doesn't intrude." I gave a stare at the bunny maid and she nodded. 

Next, I picked Marg up like a princess, and well, to the spring!

I was not going to have no, for an answer, no sir! 

***

Marg wasn't actually complaining, just blushing. Whenever I picked her up, she always just cradled her hands around my neck, glued her ears to my chest, and kind of blushed. She never complained. And I had a feeling, even if I wanted something absurd from her in bed, she'd agree without a fuss. In a way that was cute, but in another way, that just made me realize, her love might just have been more than mine. 

She looked too darn cute, angelic even: I so wanted to shove my face in her chest and stuff. Lately, her hair was getting longer and I didn't know why but, she really did look cuter.

She was actually pretty light, so I didn't have any problem carrying her either. 

"If you really can't stop yourself, we can-" Marg started. She was suggesting a lot of things.

"Well, I was just going to have a talk." I didn't have any other ulterior motives, okay?

Besides, I already knew how painful those days could be, at least vaguely. After all, I spent the last 17, or rather almost 18 years with two girls. And though one of them started complaining only recently, I saw more or less how the other one complained and how she acted whenever she thought I wasn't looking. 

And the last thing I wanted to do was inflict needless pain on my future wife just for the sake of pleasure.

We got down to the basement, I undressed Marg myself, and she undressed me.

It didn't take time for things to get hot.
