CH.32 Alice’s Attribute

CH.32 Alice’s Attribute

“I have decided.” She said to me, “I want the Dark attribute.”

“Dark?” I asked her to confirm. “Are you sure that is your choice? You can’t go back on it.” Technically she could, but I want her to know that this is important. After All, I could just MST the Mystic Plasma Zone and install another one onto her.

“Yes, I’m sure.” Alice tells me. “I have been trapped inside this house for my life, hidden from the world. With dark magic I can keep myself hidden or sneak out to show that magic to the world. Even after choosing it gives me the choice.”

“You must promise me something before I do this.” I tell her.

“What is it?”

“Don’t stay hidden. You should be willing to do what you want to do. Don’t let your father control this gift of magic. You are the one to control it. If you hide it away from the world, the darkness will consume you.” I hope she gets what I mean. I’m doing something out of the norm. I really don’t want her to hide, just because she is afraid. Fear leads to bad places. If Lucia, who has to drink blood to survive, can show herself why couldn’t a magician who was born without an attribute.

“I promise. I won’t be hidden away.” She said to me.

“Good. Let’s start.” I tell her.

(Laura, where on her body should I install this card?) I ask Laura while pulling Mystic Plasma Zone out of the Card opener collection.

(I would recommend on her chest, near her heart. It’s the best place if you are only granting her one attribute.) Laura informs me.

“Alice, I need to install this card on your chest, close to your heart. You need to take off the dress for that.” I tell her.

“...I... do I ... really have to?” She seems to be hesitating. Can’t really blame her too much.

“Yes. Also if you are embarrassed, remember that you were sleeping next to me in only your underwear.” I reminded her. She turns bright red as she blushes.

“...sure. Can you open the zipper?” She asked me and turned her back to me. I’m sure she could do it herself, after all she did put the dress on herself earlier. And took it off in the middle of night. I’m not going to argue, instead slowly pulling down the zipper.

“Turn away for a second.” She told me. As you wish ma’am. I’m not going to argue about this.

“I’m ready.” Alice said to me. I turn back to face her. She is back in her underwear, but now I get a better look at her bra. No, I'm not staring. I have to look at that area. That’s where I’ll install the card after all. Her white bra had a subtle floral pattern. Again the technology of this world surprises me. Are underwear, or bras specifically, made by a dungeon? I think mine could make underwear out of tricot.

“Please don’t stare... that much.”

“I’m sorry, but it is kind of necessary. That’s the install spot after all.” I said to her.

“Then just do it. Or I’ll get mad.”

“Please don’t punch me.” I plead.

“We were just...” Alice began to say, but I think she couldn’t come up with an excuse.

“I’m sorry.” I say to the maid.

“I’m sure this is not your fault lord Brian.” She said. “I can see that my lady is the instigator in all this. She even demanded that I let her come wake you up yesterday.”

“Don’t tell him that.” Alice said back.

“Oh, that. I already knew it was you.” I said to Alice.

“How?” She asked.

“First, the maids call me lord Brian, not sir Brian. Second, you have blue eyes where that maid has green.” I began to tell the signs.

“How would you notice the eye color...” Alice said quietly.

“And third, she has larger breasts than you.” I told Alice. There wasn’t a huge difference, but it was still noticeable.

“Pervert.” Alice said and released me from her embrace.

“You calling me a pervert is kinda rich, considering that you sneaked into my bed last night. You slept next to me only in your underwear without me knowing. And you were just hugging me, again just in your underwear. So which one of us is the pervert?” I taunt her. You can’t call me a pervert without me pointing this out.

“...you are the one that asked me to remove my dress again...” She said quietly.

“Lord Brian, is that true?” Of course the maid heard that.

“I asked her. I didn’t force her. There is a big difference.” I say to the maid. I don’t need to excuse myself for something that isn’t my fault.

“You better explain this to me later. In detail. But for now, we need to get both of you ready for breakfast.” She said.

“Yeah, it is that time. I think it might be the best if you take Alice into her room to get ready. I’ll make my way to the dining room on my own.” I told the maid.

“Are you sure you won’t get lost?” She asked.

“Don’t worry, I have a good memory.” More like I have Laura to guide me. “I guided the party to a dungeon in the middle of the woods yesterday after all. I think I won’t get lost in a manor like this.”

“Then I will accept your proposal. Alice, let’s go.” The maid quickly helps Alice zip her dress back up and walks out with her. I grab the hoodie Alice left for my safe keeping and place it into my fanny pack. I also put my coin pouch there. It won’t weigh in there after all.

With that I make my way towards the dining room.
