Reborn in another world as a Hermaphrodite

"Miss Amelia! Welcome!"

Sophia excitedly opened the door, with Mary standing right behind her, still recovering from jumping down from someone's back.

"Hey, kids. Do you know where Katherine is at?" Amelia asked as she gently patted both of their heads.

"She's in the bedroom right now," Mary replied.

"You two play here, okay? Me and Katherine will be back."

The two watched Amelia enter the bedroom before closing it shut, which made them a little curious about what was happening inside.

"Man, where's Alex when we needed him?" Sophia complained, feeling a little lost on what to do.

"I don't know..." Mary murmured as she looked down at the doll in her hand.

"Whatever, let's just play."

Meanwhile, inside Katherine's bedroom.

Alex was peacefully sleeping on the bed, with Amelia and Katherine both standing at the bedside.

"You said you found a way to give my son mana?" Katherine asked calmly, trying to hide the excitement in her voice.

"Obviously, why else would I be here?"

Amelia replied as she took out a purple vial containing a mysterious purple liquid inside, as well as several blank scrolls made of unknown material.

"When are you going back to the capital, Kate?" Amelia suddenly asked as words began appearing on the scroll.

Katherine fell into silence, not wanting to respond to the question. But in return, Amelia stopped completely.

"Don't call me Kate. I'll head back when it's time," Katherine replied, but Amelia wasn't happy with the answer.

"You say that every time I come here. Our teacher misses you... She doesn't blame you for what happened."

Seeing Katherine not responding, Amelia didn't try to pressure her again.

Soon, the scroll began flying into the air, causing everything in the room to elevate.

But with a snap of a finger, the room was quickly covered by a black void, making everything disappear besides everything on the bed.

"Kate, I just want to warn you that giving your son mana is going to be very expensive," Amelia warned as the word on the scroll began to fade.

"I can always go back to being an adventure... Just tell me what I need." Katherine impatiently asked.

"Being an adventure is not going to be enough. He needs an edible mana source."

As soon as Amelia finished talking, Katherine fell into silence.

She knew exactly what Amelia was talking about. There was only one edible mana source in this world that even money couldn't buy.

"Is there no other way? Does he really need to have holy water?" Katherine asked, despite knowing the answer.

"What do you think? Anyway, can you leave the room for a second? I need to perform the ritual to restart his mana connection."

With Katherine leaving the room, Amelia turned her attention to Alex, who had been put into some sort of sleep spell.

After chanting a few words with the rest of the scroll in hand, the room suddenly started having wind blowing from all directions.

But it quickly died down as soon as she opened the vial. It was almost as if the purple liquid absorbed all the wind into it.

"May the goddess of water cleanse you..."

As Amelia murmured it out, Alex's eye began to move rapidly underneath the eyelid until he opened his eyes.

"How was the dream?" Amelia asked as she held the vial in hand.

"I... I just dreamt I was back home." Alex instinctively replied, as he still hadn't fully recovered from the effect.

"Home? It must have been a good dream, then," Amelia murmured as she spun the vial around.

"N-No... I don't want to have that dream again."

Alex shook his head. The dream he had was all the way back on earth, with fragments of him walking around talking to other people.

But everyone's face was blurred, with their voices blurred as well. It was practically torture as he couldn't understand anything at all.

"Oh... Why would Katherine nightmare spell on you?" Amelia murmured the last part to herself before handing the vial over.

"Ahem, anyway, can you drink this down? This will finally give you the ability to cast magic."

Without any hesitation, Alex drank the whole thing in one fast swoop, handing the empty vial back to Amelia.

After waiting for a whole minute, Alex doesn't feel any different besides his body getting a little hot.

"Why does it feel so hot?" Alex thought to himself, resisting the urge to take his clothes off in front of Amelia.

"Your body feels a little hot right now, right?" Amelia asked.

Alex immediately nodded, as he could feel his blood was starting to burn through his skin.

"It's okay. Your body is just making space to contain mana later. Just hold on."

Despite his best attempts to hold back, he just couldn't endure it any longer, so he took off his shirt off.

"It's so hot! I-I'm going to die!"

Seeing Alex's body begin to shake uncontrollably. Amelia knew it was time as she leaned forward and kissed him right on the lips.

A cool sensation immediately flew into his body, making the process much less painful.

Just as Alex looked back at Amelia, full of gratitude in his eyes, something snapped in her head.

She suddenly pushed Alex back down onto the bed before sticking her tongue further inside, trying to pry his teeth open.

Alex was caught off guard as his defense was easily pushed past, with his tongue passively mixing with hers.

Despite the burning sensation still in his body, it was becoming irrelevant, as the only thing on his mind was Amelia.

Soon, Amelia herself was a little surprised as Alex started going on the offensive, using his much smaller tongue to chase after hers.

Much to Alex's disappointment, it didn't last long. As soon as the burning sensation stopped, Amelia immediately pushed him away.

"You should be able to cast your spell now."

Amelia quickly wiped her lips, her face blushing a little as she couldn't believe a little kid almost bullied her.

Alex's attention to Amelia was thrown out the window as he began trying to cast a small flame on his fingertip.

After almost waiting for five whole seconds, a small flame finally appeared on his fingertip.

"I did it! I can cast magic!"

Seeing Alex's face filled with joy, Amelia gently brushed his hair with her hand.

"Good job. Now you can finally be a mage... But remember, don't overuse it, okay?"

Alex quickly nodded in agreement before the flame disappeared from his fingertip.

"Ahem. Alex, what happened earlier is a secret. Only between me and you. Don't tell your mom about that, okay?"

Alex nodded several times in a row as if his brain was starting to process what just happened earlier.

"Okay, you can leave the room now. Go call your mom and Mary to come in."

As Alex headed towards the door, Amelia already took out the crystal ball that he had once tested with.

---

After Mary's test, Amelia stayed all the way until it was about to be nighttime.

She whispered a few things to Katherine before leaving, which made her face blush red.

"You sure that is the right substitute for holy water?" Katherine quietly questioned."

"Trust me, it should work in theory. You're the only one I know who has produced that stuff before.

You know the spell for how to resume it again, right? I don't need to teach you——"

"Yeah, yeah, I know..."

As the two finished talking, the three kids quickly surrounded Amelia in the middle.

"Miss Amelia! Can you at least stay for dinner?" Sophia and Mary both pleaded as they had just recently learned how to cook.

"Sorry, kids. But we'll meet again very soon."

After hugging both girls, Amelia looked over to Alex, who was standing there silently zoning off.

"Hey Alex, you aren't going to say goodbye to Miss Amelia?" Sophia curiously asked.

Alex quickly snapped back to the moment as he nervously ran over to Amelia before the two hugged.

"Remember our secrets, okay?" Amelia's voice suddenly appeared in his head.

"I will," Alex stated in a firm voice.

"Good boy."

As Amelia puts Alex back down, Sophia and Mary both got a little curious as to why he just said that out loud randomly.

"Katherine, remember your promise, okay? I better see you in the capital next year."

"Yeah, yeah."

The four of them waved as Amelia walked off into the darkness before Katherine pushed the three back inside and closed the door.

"Mom! Are we really moving to the capital?" Sophia curiously asked.

"Yes, sweetie. We're going to visit your grandparents. You all are excited, right?"

"Yay!"

All three of the kids jumped into the air in excitement. They were tired of wandering around the town in the morning with nothing much to do.

They had already heard countless stories of thrills and crazy events in the capital, especially from several of the kids they played with.

"If you three can't learn proper manner within this year, then I'm canceling the trip," Katherine warned.

"Yes, ma'am!"
