"Hmmm?" Why does this girl sound so strange? Shouldn't she ask for something she wants for her win...
Zell looked at her with a strange face as she began to realise she said these things too loud, a slight blush on her cheeks as she twiddled her fingers together.
"Well... since that moment, I haven't been able to forget you.... whether it's your figure during our fight.... the image of you fighting everyone alone... I... I..."
"You were very cool, and I haven't been able to get you out of my mind! So I will take you.... make you fight for me forever! Hehe~ so, let's fight! Once again, I will surpass you and make you take my family name!"
Meanwhile, on the other side of the ballroom.
"Oho... Your daughter is filled with spunk."
"Oh my, I think she has a good chance~ that boy managed to charm your little girl, but Alice is no worse fufu."
"Your daughter is doomed..."
"Mmmm? What do you mean?"
"Let's make a bet; I bet you 40% shares in our dojo, you 45% shares of your Spearman ship school."
"On what? Are you going to let me crush your stupid dojo finally?"
"I bet within a year, your cute daughter will abandon the spear, instead addicted to the spear in that boy's pants, panting and screaming on a bed in pleasure."
"Oh my... How obscene... Are you calling my daughter an easy slut?" Alice's mother looked a little angry, the aura around her flickering with fierce watery mana.
"No, no, haha, don't get all upset. I don't know if you will be spreading your legs for him either... interesting idea, though, but being rod sisters with you is a bit disgusting."
"You!?" Alice's mother suddenly seemed slightly flustered after analysing what Alizée had just said as she leaned closer.
"You had sex with your daughter's future husband!?"
"How was it...?" She now sounded interested, her eyes glistening like a woman who loved gossip.
"Haha.... it was....." Alizée looked around, leaning close to her ears, "The biggest and most amazing cock, and he ravaged me like a wild beast, the best fuck I've ever had."
Alice's mother's gulped as she looked at the image of her 'valiant' daughter being teased by the tall, dark male with a faint smile on his face before she dashed away towards this direction.
"My daughter... she's already offering herself on a platter, isn't she..."
"Ah... but at least she will be safe and happy... He's a very hard-working and powerful man... give him a chance or a try."
Pah!
Alizée slapped the plump rear of Alice's mother, the large meaty rump shaking violently as she frowned at the vulgar woman while watching Zell in the distance, whose eyes never left her daughter until she was close.
"Mother! I want to undergo the family's secret training!" Alice almost shouted as she returned breathless, her face beaming with liveliness and bliss.
'Oh my... My cute little girl is going to become a woman... it's too soon!'
Zell watched as Alice almost ran away, his face filled with a smile. He would not actively chase women anymore; he needed to make peace and treat his current women with the care and affection they deserved first, especially Rika; she was too kind and close to him that he realised that this woman had supported him for so long and he has not given her the love or respect she deserves.
'I want to make a surprise for Rika... then Anya, who was my first woman; there is only so much time in the day. Let's deal with the wonderful women that have accepted me so far... their support; without any one of them, I wouldn't be here.' Once I return, I will make time for all of them since I decided to accept them before I move to other women...
"Is that you, Zell!?" A soft-spoken male voice sounded slow as footsteps approached.
At first, Zell didn't respond; who could he possibly know here, especially a male? But the voice was nostalgic... too nostalgic as his thoughts were broken, and his eyes looked up.
'How?'
"C-Chris!? Is it you!"
A sudden burst of emotions filled Zell's mind, the images from his past life, the battered and bloody Chris who desperately tried to help him with his powerful body that far exceeded his and still he stood no chance against the higher level demons that attacked.
His friend Chris was someone Zell had known from age 10, meeting at primary school and living close to each other before Chris's dad became rich; he enjoyed playing sports games online and betting real money. The same ginger boy who lost all his savings, smashing up their dorm room, but he was one of the few people Zell could call a friend...
He had a handsome face compared to most, although nothing compared to the past Zell or current Zell; he was a good guy!
He had a sturdy build that he always hid with anime t-shirts in the past; now, wearing a well-tailored suit; Chris looked dashing!
While Zell seemed shocked and happy to see his friend, Chris too had small tears forming in his eyes; the pair were inseparable until college ended, and they both planned to reunite at university, but sadly, after the death of his parents, Zell spiralled into a pit of depression and pushed the other's away, forgetting to even apply for the university.
"I... I am so glad to see you, Zell.... two years.... we were all so worried about you..." Chris sounded soft, his voice trembling as they hugged each other tightly and hammered each other's back.
"Yeah... I was a fool and couldn't man up, ask for your help and support, and push you all away. Sorry... I was too immature and petty, thinking my life was more difficult than everyone else's..."
"No way... man, we understood... you worked all through school... your dad was your idol, right? The pocket watch you always used to tell us about... I mean, that suit... it's your dad's, right? You finally accepted his death? Are you alright? Can we do anything to help you?" Chris was always like this; even when he lost all his savings and was about to be beaten by his mother, he cared for his friends first.
"No, I'm doing well now... even that Tessa is my fiancée!" Zell would slowly tell his friend about his life, but the only people they both knew were Anya and Tessa, so the occasion was best to reveal bout Tessa as he was here with her mother.
"Ohhhhh!? Our handsome Zell finally graduated from his 2D and beast girl obsession!"
Suddenly their manly chat was interrupted by a blonde woman with brown eyes; her appearance caused Zell to take two steps back, his eyes watching her with a sense of apprehension; the reaction caused both her and Chris to chuckle madly, as they knew what he thought and laughed that he even grabbed Chris and pulled him away.
"Haha, Zell... relax, she's not a forest elf, she's Esmera, my wife, a member of the sun elves tribe... they won't drag you into the bushes and gang... Argh!?"
The beautiful female elf punched Chris in the stomach, she left jab extremely fast and deadly, and he fell to his knee, overacting as Esmera took a step forward, bowing gracefully as her thick green dress fluttered.
However, she was short and flat-chested, like a loli, and her etiquette was very mature.
"Forgive me; my husband is a little excitable. You are Zell Delacroix? My husband always speaks of you... I am truly happy you could finally meet and have a chance to repair your fates." She gently shook Zell's hand, her eyes soft and filled with intense emotion, like a passionate sun.
"Fateship?"
"Ah... my manners, our tribe believes there are many kinds of kinship and friendship. From the stories told by my husband about yourself, Alex and Marvin... his eyes and feelings are most vibrant when speaking of you."
"He always feels he could have done more, wanting to repair your connection; in our tongue, this kind of deep friendship is called a Fateship, meaning a friendship that borders fate."
"See? You met today; doesn't that prove you are fated to be friends, no matter what may happen in the future or past?"
"OH~ friend of my heart! See, isn't my wife the best? Loli ~ Guha!"
"Who is a loli, you damn chode!"
"AH, ~ Esmaera, I love you! When will you give me some cute children?
Zell looked at the comedy duo of this pair of lovers, a slight tear in his eyes, wanting to speak but choking on his words because he met only Chris in the past... it meant Esmera... No!
'I will make them have a happy ending! He was there when my mother got sick.... my father too...! I wasn't just reincarnated to sleep with beautiful women; I cannot forget those who helped and supported me... Chris, Marvin... Alex... all of you, I should not forget them, or that girl and Madric Henfiel... they should be ready to join our guild soon."
"Ahem! Ignore my stupid husband; his heart is as big as his idiocy. Are you, by chance looking for someone special? You are a very handsome man... I can introduce you to some of my..."
"Ah, not right now... I am currently trying to make repayment for past mistakes, helping those who helped me." Zell said sincerely, looking down at Chris, pretending to be hurt as he gave Zell a wink.
"Oh? Well... I won't tell them you are off the market; maybe one of them might interest you fufu~ you must be a good man if my darling chose you as his fate; I am going to join my friends, so take care of this idiot for me, okay? He might be tempted by a slutty forest elf or something and die in a bush after they squeeze him to death!"
Hearing her words, Zell smiled wryly and nodded, looking at Chris, who acted dramatic and stood back to his feet, faking tears as he looked at Esmera.
"By the way, Esmera... Who is that woman?" Zell asked, his eyes focused on that beautiful elven woman who seemed to be a queen, her eyes occasionally fluttering to the corner to look at Zell.
"Zell... since you are my husband, dear friend... I will be honest with you... that woman.... is nothing but death."
"Death?"
"Yeah, man... she's scary!" Chris whispered in his ear while Esmera continued.
"She is Almerias, chieftain of the forest elves, basically their queen, a very lustful and sadistic woman... Please try not to attract her attention..."
"You are extremely attractive as a male... if that woman wants you, she doesn't care how she will attain you and then drain you dry along with her various sisters..."
"Please be careful, she has looked this way several times, and I know it's not for my gingernut... Remember! Never trust forest elves; they are very... very obscene!"
"Are you going with the girls, babe?" Chris asked as Esmera turned around after warning Zell.
"Mmmm, Clara said she noticed that Scarlet of the Siren tribe was pregnant... and wanted to ask who the father is; you know how hard the aquatic races struggle to fertilise their eggs, especially undines."
"Ah... nothing to do with me... Have fun! Don't make me too lonely!"
Zell turned away, ignoring the lovebirds, his eyes locking with Almerias as the two looked at each other, he didn't know what possessed him, but he smiled at her, then waved; her face looked strange, looking around herself, then pointing to herself.
He nodded, which caused her to smile, it was a beautiful but eerie smile, yet for some reason, he found it amusing as the two slowly looked away.
"Dude... why did you just flirt with the forest elf chieftain...." Chris looked at his stupid friend with a shocked face.
"Do you want to be gangbanged by a group of... Ah... now that I think about it... doesn't it seem amazing..."
"I'll tell Esmera..."
"No, no! Don't. She won't sleep with me for a month... anyway... you know me, I don't like those fat old women; I like my women petite and youthful!"
"Haha... damn, at least she's a legal loli.... damn wretch!"
"Shut up... you're the one that's into old women!"
"Chris, shall we get something to eat? It seems we are waiting for someone else to come... I'm hungry... Scarlet was so annoying in the car."
Zell walked towards the table, his gait and steps elegant, reaching for some handheld snacks, while Chris looked at his friend, a sudden realisation coming to his mind.
'Zell was the one who knocked her up!? No.... it must be a woman with the same name.... right... Right!? He already has Tessa!'
Chris dashed after Zell, his short ginger hair flowing in the wind.
"Oh, you mentioned a moment ago, yes, they are waiting. They found a Red dragon in The Brittanic Empire, and she will be here later; amazing, huh? A real dragon!"
