Chapter 114 - 'Date'

"I wonder if I have the pleasure to have a small date with Madam?"

"What?!" Yale was the first to react, staring at his teacher. "Teacher, you…"

"Master…" Irena's face became pale.

"Congratulations, Master. Please pursue your dream. Bepe will support you."

"Ehm…" Jessie looked left and right, seeing the shocked faces of the succubus.

Raisa, on the other hand, was stunned. Her gaze was locked on Albert's eyes, but her mind wandered elsewhere.

It was clear that charm had no effect on Albert's mind. So, if Albert asked for this, it meant he was in the right mind for this date. It was his desire.

She smiled sweetly and answered politely, "If you desire so, then I won't mind accompanying you today."

"Teacher…" Yale closed his eyes before falling to the ground. "No, I should support Teacher. There is the case with Renee, so I know that Teacher will need to do it sooner or later."

Albert ignored their remarks and said, "Take care of them, will you?"

After those words, he hurriedly pushed Raisa, dragging her somewhere.

Raisa chuckled and hugged his arm. "Then, shall we go?"

"Yeah." Albert's eyebrows twitched as they walked away.

The succubus then brought the rest to the tents while Albert walked together with Raisa.

All the eyes were on them because this was the first time they saw Raisa walking with someone.

"So, can you release it already? I think we have walked far enough." Albert sighed.

"Well…" Raisa looked reluctant but still let him go.

"Don't look so disappointed."

"This is the first time that someone is with me without being affected by the charm, so I can't help it." Raisa chuckled while covering her mouth. After that, her expression became serious as she asked, "So, what do you want to talk about to the point you bring me all the way here?"

"I think I can find the wraith. However…" Albert paused for a moment.

"You don't want to bring them?"

"Yes." Albert nodded. "I can't even see the wraith's body, so it's impossible for me to keep up with her while protecting them."

"Does the wraith actually retain her power?" Raisa looked down, contemplating.

"I think this is the right time to ask. Can you tell me the identity of this wraith?"

"She was called Shella in the past. Although her strength was weak, her element was Darkness. By using this strength, she infiltrated many places and was often dispatched to various places.

"There was also research she took care of, so she was also knowledgeable. In my perspective, she was a reliable subordinate to have."

"…" Albert's expression turned grim. "Is this the reason why you can't find her?"

"Most likely. However, even we didn't expect the situation to be this serious. Just like the anomaly, a wraith retaining its former power is very rare. I didn't mean to hide this…"

Albert pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "If I want us to go there and explore all night until we find the wraith again, will you go there?"

"Of course. The situation has become extremely dangerous, so it's better to do it with not many people. Since you have the power to protect yourself, I should be able to focus on the wraith."

"That's good. Let's go right now."

"Before that, where did you find her?"

Albert pointed to the sky.

"Flying?"

"Yes. I believe she had been following us from the sky this whole time."

Raisa recalled the event and agreed with him. "I see. This explains why we were attacked by monsters continuously. She must have been observing us and used her ghost to send those monsters. No wonder she looked like she knew our position."

"Yeah. Can you actually see her?"

"Not really. If I want to see her, I need to be at least near her…"

"In that case, I can send my Bonk Arrow and control it to follow her movement. During that time, I want you to fly and chase after her."

"Yeah, I can do that." She pointed at her back. "To be honest, you can even cling to me and we'll fly together."

"…" Albert's eyebrows twitched, and he said, "No, it's fine."

"Tsk."

"Are you seriously clicking your tongue?"

"Yes." She shrugged and asked, "Should we go now?"

"Yeah."

"By the way, I want to carry you to the forest since it will be faster this way. Is that alright?"

"Hmm? No, it'll be seen by others. But in the forest, I think it's fine since it will give me a nice field of vision to find the wraith."

"We have a deal. Let's go."

After coming to an agreement, the two immediately headed back to the forest, leaving Yale and the others behind.

Meanwhile, Irena was complaining. "Master… Did he have gone astray? No, as expected of the succubus, she could even seduce Master. Or is she Master's type?"

"It's better this way. If Master can produce a child, the legacy of bonk can continue. I have someone that I can serve in the future too." Bepe smiled with a calm expression. He, in fact, felt happy to know that Albert might have an heir that he could serve in the future.

"Ehm…" Jessie looked down and muttered, "I wonder if I should put fake boobs…"

"You guys serious?" Yale tilted his head in confusion. "You don't know Teacher that well."

The three stopped and turned to Yale, wondering what he meant by that.

"Follow me." Yale ran toward the edge of the camp and saw two figures running back toward the woods. "Look at that."

"!!!" All three of them widened their eyes.

"Master is going back to the forest with that Raisa to hunt the wraith alone. He'd probably found the wraith earlier but didn't tell us."

"As expected, it's hard to earn Master's trust." Bepe sighed.

"It's not that." Yale sighed. "Teacher must have found the wraith and deemed it to be too powerful for you guys. So, in order to protect you, Teacher goes alone with her.

"This only means that we are too weak. Do you understand what this means?" Yale gritted his teeth. "If we can't keep up with him, he's going to leave us someday because we're too weak. So, do you know what to do?"

All of them had grim expressions. There was only one answer to Yale's question.

Training.
