Chapter 64: Heart Duo(S)

Alex used his return ticket.

He appeared back in the Deathwill Castle with a quite lost expression. His face conveyed to everyone that he had been in deep thought.

That was due to Remia’s words.

From what she had told him, Dollar was the culprit behind many lost lives in the forest fairies’ capital.

Before his attack on Remia, the forest fairies had confirmed that the player was the culprit. All wounds on the fallen had told them that the swordsman had killed them. And then, Dollar’s shocking hiding techniques.

Although it was a shameful matter, Remia told Alex that a few strong forest fairies had been looking over them during their crisis. They didn’t help because they wanted to see through Alex.

They were high-level fairies, so they easily saw through his appearance.

But even those fairies had failed to spot Dollar’s first strike. If it weren’t for Alex, Remia would’ve died or at least suffered life-threatening wounds.

For that, she had been immensely grateful. However, Alex promptly reminded her that she had killed Dollar, and her help was as great as his.

He didn’t smile for too long, however.

Immediately after Remia bid farewell, Alex lost himself in thought.

‘That guy… He has some sort of unique class, doesn’t he?’ Alex thought.

Remia told him that she couldn’t say too much about Dollar. That was because her mother told her to. But the queen also requested a talk with Alex.

Even though her tribe had been accepting players, those players mainly were focused on learning skills from the forest fairies. They concentrated on quests with selfish hearts. Only scant of them talked with the forest fairies, building some relationship in the process.

Therefore, Alex was the only trustful player whom the queen could ask a few questions.

Of course, Alex didn’t find that surprising. Players were players. For them, strong skills were the most important. They put great importance on them. And then, relationships and other game stuff were the secondary.

They probably believed that learning skills from the forest fairies and leveling them up would be enough to get unique or better quests. That was indeed the case, but with more relationship build-up, they would receive more rewarding quests.

Alas, players found it hard to talk with residents from another world, notably those demi-humans and beast races.

‘He’s a problem in Remia’s tribe…’ Alex uttered slowly, ‘So it’s normal for me to wish for his failure… But part of me wants to fight with him so badly… He said I would lose one versus one against him… That’s why I want the second round so much.’

His thoughts stopped exactly before Stella’s doors.

Dropping the forest fairies and Dollar’s dilemma to the bottom of his heart, Alex straightened himself and knocked on the doors. He received no response whatsoever.

That was just normal with Stella.

He then opened the doors, “Good morning.”

Stella was sleeping.

It took some time for Alex to wake her up. After her eyes opened, Alex once again greeted her.

He then helped her wear her battle clothes. Alex didn’t know whether she could use a system like the player to exchange clothes, but he would rather not propose it. In Stella’s case, it was important for her to pick up those normal habits.

In her princess-like life, she had servants doing all those normal things in her place. She grew up into mesmerizing woman of compelling appeal, yet her personality had quite childish flaws.

Alex took off clothes, glanced at her nude body, then put battle clothes on.

Stella’s battle clothing was simply a white robe. Her outfit reminded Alex of priest clothes from various games. But in Stella’s case, she had merely white clothes without any emblem or anything that would show her faith.

But knowing Stella, she wouldn’t even feel like praying or believing in someone!

“You don’t even know how happy I am, Stella,” Alex said after standing up, “We will finally fight together as four. I mean, you will probably stay behind and look over our statuses.” He chuckled.

Stella just lifted her head and stared into his eyes. She looked serious as if trying to convey to him that she indeed would take care of their health.

But Alex still jested a little, as he liked to throw some little jokes from time to time, “If you somehow fall asleep during our battle, I will tie you up to myself and make sure you stay wide awake in the battles! Haha! That would be quite a comical sight.”

At first, Stella’s eyes narrowed dangerously. But immediately after, Stella recalled the first meeting with him. On that day, Alex took her onto his back.

He held her carefully and made sure her return would be as comfortable as possible. Therefore, it wouldn’t be so bad to be tied to his back, would it be?

Stella’s eyes flashed with a silver light. Her wings spread, then dispersed into thousands of feathers that melted into the ground.

Alex raised his hands in defense as Stella had summoned a miniature tornado into her room. He squinted his eyes instinctively, looking over Stella’s body.

She no longer had her wings and was looking like a pure-blood human!

Her voluptuous body floated up… Since Stella was doing the magic, it looked like some invisible two fingers lifted her up by holding her clothes. Then, she flew behind Alex’s back…

[Stella Deathwill has wrapped herself around your back.]

[You have formed a new profound connection with Stella Deathwill!]

[A new skill has been born!]

[Heart Duo(S)]

“S-ranked skill?!” Alex yelped in surprise, immediately recalling the skill he created with Olivia! This poor lady had created Cuddling, whose grade was, unfortunately, the lowest.

But Stella immediately skipped a few ranks and reached probably the highest grade possible!

It was heaven-defying!

Pat!

He then felt Stella pressing his hair. She rested her soft cheek on his head, closing her eyes comfortably.

As Alex peeked into her status, he noticed that Stella was not losing any mana. Her race, their connection, and probably Alex’s legendary class allowed her to be close to him without any price!

She could laze in his presence as much as she wanted!

“You are truly a sloth, aren’t you, Stella?” Alex spoke with pressed lips, swollen cheeks, and squinted eyes.

His face told Stella how comical and absurd their connection was!

Stella moaned softly…

“Why are you moaning?” Alex sighed.

Stella replied slowly, “Smell… Nice…”

“Alright… Let’s meet others…” Alex rolled his eyes and left her room.

During his walk, Alex opened his system and read the skill information. Just the first line forced him to halt.

He lifted his hand and grabbed Stella’s head, “Read the skill.”

At first, Stella didn’t even react. But then, Alex’s grasp became a little stronger! She opened her eyes and read the skill’s information.

Her heart fluttered with happiness!

[Heart Duo(S) – Connect your heart with your beloved. (You can connect your heart with three individuals: Olimiss, Sara Deathwill, and Stella Deathwill). After connecting with your beloved, you will be able to share one of your skills with your partner.]

“Don’t you dare share [Heal] or whatever you have with me! I won’t heal others in your stead, Stella!” Alex narrowed his eyes dangerously!

Although no killing intent flashed within those, he wanted to look menacing!

Stella peeked at his face, “Why?” She was so serious!

And his face looked far from menacing. Instead, Alex nearly made Stella smile again.

He pursed his lips, “That requires practice, so I might fail in today’s battle. I would rather practice it with you.”

That was reasonable.

Stella was forced to agree. She didn’t pursue the matter, but happiness still bloomed in her heart. Her cheeks flushed a little red, making her bury her face entirely in Alex’s hair.

“Alex. Why do you look like an idiot? Have you seen too much of Stella’s nude body? You horny bastard.” Schnee asked as she saw a little of Alex’s former expression on his face.

He lifted his eyes and glanced at her in her battle clothes. She had nearly full body stocking. Some kind of armor bra wrapped her ample chest. Similarly, her nether region was wrapped in some sort of leather armor.

Schnee’s arms had some piece of cloth coiled around them. It was kinda puffy as if she had hidden some treasures here.

Her clothes were tight and sticking closely to her curves. She exuded a tempting aura, but Alex believed those clothes would significantly help her raise her speed.

‘It also helps her tease and temp some enemies,’ Alex whispered inwardly as he had fallen prey to her thighs.

He then replied, “What expression? Anyway, did I have that kind of expression yesterday? That’s not the case. No, wait… What do you mean ‘like an idiot’?”

Alex honestly asked.

On the side, in the utterly opposite outfit, Sara grinned, “I won’t lie, Alex. Your face looked pretty stiff and awkward. What did you two talk about?”

Her black armor didn’t make any sound as Sara stepped closer to Alex and Stella. It was weird as her armor was thick, letting out an impregnable effect.

Sara looked like a tank, but Alex was well aware of her high speed.

He smiled faintly, “We got a new skill… I wanted Stella to not use it immediately, so maybe I went overboard with my menacing expression.”

“Menacing! Haha!” Schnee slapped her thigh, making some flesh jiggle, “Show that face to me! Haha!”

Sara covered her lips, “I see.”

“Just laugh, Sara,” Alex replied with squinted eyes.

But Sara didn’t let laughter overcome her. She put her hand down, then took out a hairband from her inventory. She wrapped her long blonde hair into a ponytail.

Then, Sara did the same to Stella.

Schnee followed suit, and three sisters stood with the same hairstyle, ready for the incoming battle!

“Mom! Alex, Stella… and Schnee…” Celia suddenly shouted from behind, “Good luck!”
