Chapter 61: New Page Of The Book

After getting back from our mission, we diligently reported everything that transpired during our mission. And, of course, excluding some personal stuff between us and Diana’s sister, Alicia. It’s for Diana. Upon reporting it to the guild master himself, he himself said that we shouldn’t probe into that matter anymore, and he would report it to the authority of the council. Nevertheless, we are finally out of that hot mess. We left the guild master’s office afterward.

“Oh, thank god... Hooo...” I said in huge relief.

“I’ll go ahead,” Adelle said.

“Hm? You’re already going ahead? Want to grab something to eat first?”

“No... I’ll just rest at home... I need to refresh my mind.”

“Sure. We’re still good, right? We did so much like— Hmmpf!”

While walking inside of the guild, Adelle immediately shut my mouth with both of her hands, looking at my eyes with a teary and flustered look. Because of that, we garnered attention from other adventurers who are admiring her beauty. Moreover, they were all dumbfounded at the sight of Adelle. It’s probably their first time seeing her expressing emotions to someone, most importantly, she’s beet-red.

“Please, don’t say a word... I’ll just visit you at your house t-tomorrow... Haah... What did I get myself into.” Adelle sigh, exasperatedly. However, before walking out, I saw the side of her mouth jerking slightly. ‘Really, now? It doesn't look like it.’

“Okay, tomorrow then.” I waved my hand at her.

Shortly after, a person tackled me from behind, embracing my back. Turning around, I saw Stephanie flashing a smile at me. “Steph?” Stephanie didn’t respond, as she continued snuggling her head behind my back, and I could even hear the sound of her nose sniffing.

“Ah, I see. Refilling again? We’ll start walking back home, okay?”

“Mhmm.”

Honestly, after I came back earlier, Stephanie has been acting spoiled lately, not letting go of me. Furthermore, the two women who are accompanying her; the bird person and wolf demi-human are giving me a thumbs-up then slowly slitting their throats in daggering eyes. At that moment, my response to them in my mind was. ‘What’s their problem? Are they threatening me? What for?’ Wait, do they have a crush on my Stephanie?!’

Walking back to our home, Stephanie, who’s snuggling my arms, spoke in disdain. “You finally did it, huh?” Sending electrifying feeling down my spine. I looked at her in the eye and forcing a smile. “Yeah... But, how did you...”

“Clara. She’s unusually calm and brimming. The vibe around Clara would be an obvious sign that something must have happened. Plus, the Sword Princess character became drastically changed after just going on a mission with you. In addition to that, the faint glances and subtle movement of her gave it away. And finally, you, I can smell it.”

“How the fuck are you so observant?! And, what smell?!” I unconsciously yelled in bafflement, smelling the scent in my body. But I can't pick anything up.

“I found reading people’s actions quite fun. It’s my instinct.”

“Smell...” Clara muttered beside me. But I ignored it.

“Sure...” I squinted my eyes at her because I know for a fact it’s totally bogus. I’ve known Stephanie ever since I transmigrated to this world, as she’s the first-ever person whom I met in this world. The way she stated that something that happened between us three is something else.

Having a few months left before her departure to the academy, that’s probably the cause of why she’s acting like this.

“Haa... Okay, you got me. And yes, I’ve been doing it, but it was an accident at first.”

“Accident... Do you actually believe that I will believe that kind of excuse? For starters, I’m not even mad. Plus, I accepted it...”

“Really? You’re not mad? Or are you being a tsun-tsun again?”

“I am not!”

Actually, I explained to Stephanie why I always call her a ‘tsundere’, a term that I used whenever she would act like one. Out of curiosity, she asked me the meaning behind it and got mad, but easily understood that it’s just facts. To be frank, as days pass by, the maturity of Stephanie keeps growing. That’s right after we did it at her house, a month after reuniting with her. Yes, she’s the reason the person whom I first ever slept with. That’s also the reason why our relationship grew drastically after just a few months and the reason why I’m slightly more experienced.

What about Clara? Naturally, Clara caught us in an act. And that’s the start of Clara demanding more, despite knowing the backlash behind it. She fully understands it, but her jealousy came first. Desperate for saving my own life, I manage to hold her back.

Upon reaching our home, we caught the sight of Ms. Jessy waiting in front of the house, seemingly waiting for someone. Then I heard Stephanie saying. “I guess he’s coming back, huh...?”

“Who?”

“Dad.”

“Eh? Wait, what?! Seriously?”

“I am. He only comes back once a year. Whenever he would come back, Mom would wait for him right in front of the house. Eagerly waiting for him.”

“Wait, wait, wait for a second right there. You’re telling me... After all these years of being your neighbor and now your boyfriend, you didn’t tell me? Seriously, Steph...?”

“You didn’t ask, and there’s nothing special about it. He’s just a person who visits us rarely on occasion. Plus, I don’t like talking about him that much. Since he’s just a stranger to me, who acts chummy around me with a facade mask. Mom was a mistress from a wealthy, noble family and I’m the illegitimate child of the Kramer family. We live separately from the, but from time to time or once a year. The person whom I supposed to call ‘dad’ would come home to visit us, or specifically my own mother.”

“Ohh... I don’t know what to say about that...”

“Just ignore it, let’s go inside.”

Stephanie dragged me inside of my house without greeting her mother. Observing her, I could see the pain in her eyes. And at that moment, I stayed silent and let her drag me inside of the house. After going inside, I saw a glimpse of a man wearing a black suit kissing Ms. Jessy in front of the house—and, his striking orange hair. The two looked lively with each other.

That must be Steph’s father. I’m not sure of his identity because if I remember, the current head of the Kramer Family only has three sons and a daughter. Furthermore, I’m not even familiar with the Kramer Family; however, I do remember one name. Khalid Kramer, the father of Lucretius, old Claude’s childhood best friend. Their relationship with each other was good until he stopped visiting the mansion, for some unknown reason.

“Sure, let’s go inside. Oh, yeah, I learned some new stuff. Want to try those? They’re pretty kinky~♥”

Stephanie’s eyes daggered at me. I burst out in laughter. “Hahahaha... I’m just kidding. Although I’m serious about the kinky stuff. So, what do you say?”

“... Fine.”

“Yahoo! Well, then, shall we? And Clara would most likely join us. Hahahaha...”

“Claude...”

Needless to say, I need to focus all my attention on Stephanie, who’s clearly deeply hurting right now. That day, we went had some fun to make her forget about her father who’s likely just in the house right beside us. With my attention all to Stephanie, I didn’t get to meet Stephanie’s father during that day, nor did I have the time to meet him. Stephanie stayed the night and went home immediately the morning after.

The morning, after Stephanie went back to her home. Clara was sleeping back in my room, so I went ahead to make something to eat and train. However, as soon as I was about to make my breakfast; the doorbell chimes.

“*Ding* *Dong* *Ding* *Dong* *Ding* *Dong*”

Upon opening the door, the sight of a black-haired woman wearing a blue light dress, carrying a wooden sword at her back. “Adelle? What are you doing here?”

“I told you that I'm coming? Didn't I tell you that, yesterday?”

“Oh yeah, but... How come you know my address? I’m pretty sure that I haven’t told nor mentioned about it.”

“Now that you mention it... I don’t know how... My feet just led me here... Weird. Nonetheless, I’m here to train along with you.”

“Train... You mean, sex?”

“Noo! Swords! I’m here for training!”

“Ohhh!” Getting what she meant by hitting my fist on my palm. “And, also sex?”

Adelle lowered her head down and nodded slightly. “And that, as well...”

“Great! We can have four people! I gotta call Stephanie!”

“Wait what?!” Adelle exclaimed. I burst into laughter. “Hahaha... I'm just kidding. I know you're just here for my blood.”

Adelle became tight-lipped.

And that's the story of a young man who transmigrated in a world of an eroge video game, living his life to the fullest with thrill and enjoyment along the way, uncovering the mysteries of the world
