Chapter 66: Hero's sister
[You have been marked.]
[The main quest has been forcibly summoned in this regard.]
[Main Quest]
[Satisfy all of Evelyn Ezeeria's hidden desires.]
[Rewards: S rank cultivation technique.]
[Note: The rewards can be increased for successful completion of the quest.]
[Punishment for failure: Facing the consequences.]
[Time limit: one week.]
Rain stared at the lines of text in front of him, but instead of surprise, he felt relief.
'When the new quests didn't appear even after I tasted my mother's lips, I seriously started to worry that there was something wrong with the system.'
Overall, the content of this new quest was similar to the previous quests, except for the fact that this time it was forced by some outside interference.
Rain reasoned that most likely his recent abnormal state was also related.
Thinking about it, Rain unknowingly took one of the sandwiches from the basket and took a bite of it, then immediately became enthralled.
'Hell, it's unbelievably delicious.'
Enjoying the taste of Evelyn's home-cooked meal, he looked again at the very first notification he had received.
'I've been marked...'
With these thoughts, he remembered the rush of Evelyn's departure, whose ripe hips and breasts still surfaced in his mind.
'Evelyn Ezeeria... is it possible that this 'mark' came from her?'
While Rain hadn't learned that much about her during their last conversation, it seemed like the most plausible theory.
'Her personality is becoming more and more interesting.'
He couldn't help but get the feeling that the system was hinting to him that he was getting into something he shouldn't, so he asked bluntly.
"Nari, do you have anything to say about this?"
[...this mark and what you felt is related to her bloodline.]
"I see."
His short reply followed.
Rain didn't bother to ask further, as he wouldn't give up on this quest anyway, and he would be able to find out everything once he completed it.
"Huh?"
Heading back towards the academy, Rain found that the sandwiches were already out.
"I guess Gray didn't get anything... well, better let him get used to it, because next time I'll eat his mother."
Rain was already approaching the academy grounds when the ring on his hand vibrated, announcing the start of classes to all the students. But unlike the typical cases when this happened, the ring on Rain's finger blinked a couple of times after the vibration.
He touched it with his thumb and turned to his unseen messages. There was a beautifully crafted letter written especially for him, the meaning of which was very clear.
With anticipation in his heart, Rain deactivated the ring and quickened his steps.
"They finally did it."
Eventually, he was called in to deal with what happened in the rift.
Rain crossed the square again, which had emptied out and become quiet since classes had started, and headed for the main academy building.
It couldn't be said that he was completely calm, so he could feel the excitement spilling over his body right now. But that excitement was only related to how much he could get out of this case.
Reaching a nicely decorated door that was an order of magnitude larger than the others, Rain stepped inside without hesitation.
The sun was streaming through the ajar window, flooding the room with its gentle light. As Rain looked around the room, he saw that there was only one person sitting at the table, playing with some kind of device.
To his surprise, this person was not the principal, but a woman with green hair gathered into a long ponytail, whom he was seeing for the first time.
'What a pity. After all I've learned about Ophelia, I was hoping for a pleasant conversation with her.'
However, this regret did not last long.
The woman in front of him was also very good looking, enough for Rain to wonder why he hadn't seen her before, or if he had, why he hadn't remembered.
She was wearing a pink shirt and a strict black skirt that was tight around her hips. From under the skirt a pair of her long legs in stockings could be seen, which she sexually placed on top of each other.
As soon as he entered, the woman set aside what she had in her hands, focusing all her attention on him.
"I've been waiting for you."
Her voice reflected her anticipation, and in her inquisitive eyes flashed an interest that is rarely shown in a newly met person.
"Have we met before?"
Rain inquired, just in case.
"No, but you probably know me."
Rain looked her over once more and dug into his memory, but still no recollection of her.
Amelia noticed it too, so she pointed to her breasts, which were barely held back by her shirt.
"Do you recognize me now?"
Seeing his strange look that seemed to not understand her actions, she belatedly realized something.
"Ah, I already took it off."
She quickly took the jacket hanging there from the back of the chair and, putting it on, once again pointed to the breast area where her badge with beautiful gold letters now hung.
«Amelia Flamestrider, senior teacher in Alchemy»
Not taking his eyes off her name, Rain smirked wickedly to himself.
How could he not know her? He had clearly imprinted that name in his memory back on his first day at the academy, promising to find her one day, but now it seemed she had come into his clutches on her own.
'First one hero's mother, now another hero's sister... looks like I'm having a lot of luck today.'
Amelia laughed awkwardly at the previous situation and to get away from it, changed the subject.
"You should already know why you've been summoned, shouldn't you?"
"To find out what happened that day."
"That's right."
Amelia replied in a pleasantly soft voice with a slight sternness inherent in her status as a teacher, and pointed to the chair across from her.
"Please sit down and tell me everything."
Rain sat down across from her and just looked her straight in the eyes. He detected anticipation in her, mixed with interest, without any hint of negative emotion.
'Looks like Cale didn't tell her anything about me.'
Rain had assumed that after what he'd done to Cale, he might complain about him to his sister, making it harder for him to communicate with her, but nothing of the sort had happened.
'Is it because he thinks he can handle me on his own? Then that will be his biggest mistake, because I'm not leaving this room today until I've tasted his sister.'
With these thoughts, Rain looked at the teacher in front of him and smiled.
"Then I'll begin."
