[121] Bike Date & Meeting Invitation

Chapter 121: Bike Date & Meeting Invitation

—

Ruby was taking a bath, while I sat at the dining table under the awkward silence of sizzling meat. Ai was cooking food for us in the kitchen, silent too, till she was done as she walked over to the table and served the food.

“Let's wait for her to come out first,” she said in a low whisper.

“Yeah…” I grabbed a glass of water and drank it.

Then, we sat in silence, facing each other.

It was extremely awkward. Until I sighed and looked at her, “Sorry you had to see all that.”

“It's alright…” she was looking down at first but raised her head to lock eyes. “She asked for it to ease her pain. I understand and support it too if it makes her feel even a little better.”

“Oh,” that was surprising. I held back a chuckle of irony. “I’m saying this just in case, but don't admit that in front of her.”

She looked confused, “Why?”

“Just trust me on this,” I said. Ruby might say that she needed me as a lover to be happy in life, and based on Ai's words she wouldn't be able to reject the idea.

I honestly see Ruby as a little sister, but hey I'm persuading my mother so that taboo is already out of the way. So I won't mind having her as my partner, except I doubt Ai will be okay with me hitting on both her and her daughter.

So if I had to choose one… I'd choose Ai.

Ai lowered her gaze again and sighed, “Is it my fault?” She suddenly asked.

“What is?”

“Maybe things wouldn't have turned out to be this weird between us if you guys had a father figure from the beginning?” she said and I shrugged.

“I doubt that. I'm a serial reincarnator, it's hard enough for me to see someone as my mother, but because of the extreme care that my mothers give, I can manage. But fathers? They just donated the sperm, my benevolence doesn't reach them.” I said, “And if you're talking about Ruby, I'm not sure if you've realized yet, but she used to know me in her last life. She used to love me, too. That's the reason she's acting like that with me, no father figure would have changed it. It's not your fault.”

“....” Ai sighed.

“But if you want,” I held her hand and used Whirlwind Blink to teleport her to my lap. She blinked in surprise, but my hands were already firmly holding her backside, she couldn't escape. “We two can give her a father figure.”

“Aqua….” She blushed slightly, but at the same time, looked nervous. She still wasn't sure if all of this was right.

“Can I kiss you?”

“What are you saying suddenly…”

“I mean, I did fix the family. Shouldn't I receive a payment for such a fine job done?” I looked into her eyes. She wasn't completely against me touching her now, no, she was fine with it as long as she had a “reason” to give in. As long as she could use an excuse.

“Well….”

“Only one?”

“Haha, fine-” she let out a sigh and that was all I needed. I leaned in and captured her lips, parting them with my tongue and pushing it inside. 

She resisted slightly, closing her eyes to hide her shame, but I kept mine open. I watched the shift in her expression, her glossy lips, and the switch of her body as my manhood reacted beneath her.

“Nghn…!” I squeezed her butt tightly through the soft fabrics of her dress, as she let out a moan.

I kissed her till she was out of breath, releasing her for a moment to catch her breath before I kissed her again. Her eyes were hazy by now, her pussy twitching over my cock, as she instinctively pressed her body against mine. Her soft boobs felt like heaven against my strong chest, though as a last show of discomfort, she had yet to wrap her arms around my neck. She just kept them limp by her side.

I finally ended the kiss a few minutes later, looking at her glossy lips as she panted for her breath. Our eyes met for a brief instant before she looked away.

She's so cute.

I leaned closer to her ear and whispered, “You have no idea how much I want to drag you to my room and press you down against the bed. Should I?”

“No…” she rejected. “We can't Aqua, the k-kiss was just a payment as you wanted it. Don't make it weird. If we continue… it'll leave our family wrecked, Aqua.”

“It wouldn't,” I wrapped my arms around her waist, holding her tight. “I wouldn't let it. Even if we let… loose, everything will still be the same. No, it'll be even better. Wouldn't you trust me, mom?”

I emphasized the last word. It was my way of telling her that I was not going to shy away from our blood connection, and to my surprise, her body shivered in pleasure so slightly that anyone else would have missed it when I called her mom.

It had been a while since I called her that, but still, isn't it shocking that she'd like being called that during such a moment…? Wow, this is new.

She didn't even realize herself. Looks like I made her a kinky mother unknowingly. I might be wrong though; I'll have to check a bit more to make sure.

“Mom,” I whispered to her ear softly. “Do you remember that request you made back when I bought my bike? That I should take you out on it someday?”

“I do… Why?” she rested her chin on my shoulder to hide her face from me.

“How about next Sunday?” I said, “It's a bike date. You'll love riding it.”

“....” She went silent, giving me the idea that I might need to try harder. But once again, to my surprise, she agreed. “Alright. I… I've been wanting to ride a bike for all my life now. That's the only reason, you understand?”

“Surely, mum,” I leaned to her ear again and nibbled softly. “whatever my mother dearest says. I'll make sure you enjoy it to its fullest.”

“....”

I yanked her hair to bring her face in front of me to give her one last kiss before Ruby finished her shower and came to eat.

Finally, we were back on track. There was a little blockage in the middle, but it's safe to say the progress rate has been regained.

It might be a little ahead even…

The next day was Monday, finally a school day. As much as I found classes boring and loved skipping, it was often a good break from the monotone, so I was excited today. I also had to see to the brewing situation with Rias, and also properly pursue Mai Senpai.

Shoko gave me a big hug once I entered the classroom, she missed me since it’s been a week since we saw each other. Ai had given the idol girls a schedule to train on their own while attending a Zoom meeting, excluding Ruby, so they wouldn’t miss their training.

We’d be seeing each other regularly again, starting this evening since idol training would continue as usual. Shoko was happy to know that.

“You’re finally back,” Shizuka sensei greeted me when she entered the classroom, as if it was so common for me to dip and return, even though this time I had asked her for leave. “How was the beach? I hope you enjoyed it.”

“I did, ma’am,” I said, “The tip you gave me about applying sunscreen on a girl’s back came particularly handy this time. Thanks.” I was lying, no such tip was given.

Shizuka sensei stared at me with a silent smile for a minute, under the gaze of all the students, before she ultimately let her eyes twitch in annoyance.

“You, Aquamarine, will meet me after class.” She said. She could only let it slide once when the last time I teased her about something similar after returning from Hawaii.

It was worth it. Her scolding later on was cute.

…..

Quetzalcoatl may be a God-in-Spirit, Dragon God Above All the Others, but when it came to being a teacher, she was ass. She was so bad that it was unbelievable.

It’s not as if she didn’t know English, but she didn’t know how to express her skills in a way that’d help these kids understand. She was not teacher material at all.

“Sensei,” I raised a hand when the entire classroom was silent, caught on a question.

“Ah, of course!” Quku snapped her finger and smiled at me, “Do you know the answer to the question, my aquamarine gemstone? What did Shakespeare mean in this scene when he said the blue curtains—”

“I think you should find another job,” I said. “Or get better. Also, don’t call me that corny nickname. My aquamarine gemstone? Really? Did you forget my age?”

Everyone in the class stared at me in silence, as did the dragon goddess.

“….” Her excited smile had long dropped and she had chosen to glare at me instead. “Meet me after class, boy.”

It was not worth it. She did not scold me, she threatened to beat me up. 

How unladylike.

During lunch break, Ruby ran up to me when I was wandering the school grounds.

“Onii-chan!” She flung her arms around my neck and said. “Fix my eyes.”

“Huh?” I frowned, holding her waist. Did something go wrong? “What happened?”

“Everything is too bright,” she said. “My eyes see the mana in the air already after you replaced them last time, which was so annoying to get used to, but now they are a lot brighter~ it's annoying!”

“Oh, that,” I knocked on her forehead. “Stop being childish. It's Copper Sight, better get used to it. Once you reach Gold your eyes will see a hundred times more than this.”

The Nine Colored Eyes of her path. I had told her the details already, and even gave her the training method, cycling pattern, for the path.

[The Path of Celestial Radiance: A path running on the brilliant nine-colored Qi, a variation of pure Qi with more destructive prowess. It can earn similar results to the legendary Hollow King path, though the mana-negation part is less focused, in exchange for stronger attack powers in general. Upon reaching the [Gold] rank, your eyes will be transformed into the Nine-Colored Eyes.]

“Can't you fix it?” she still asked as I let out a sigh.

“I think you're focusing Ether energy on your eyes without realizing it. Don't do that. That way, at least it'd be bearable.” I told her and she blinked. 

My Jade Perception let me see as the concentration of Ether lessened in her eyes. 

“Ah.”

“Good?”

“Yes, it is.” She smiled up at me, “You are so reliable. Fixing all my problems. Would you take me to the movies next Sunday? I heard Ryan Gosling dropped a new film.”

“Ah, er, I'll be occupied on Sunday,” since that overlapped with my plans with Ai. “We’ll go on another date?”

“A date?! Alright!” 

“I didn't mean that date…”

She backed off from me and ran off, a smile plastered on her face as she waved at me. “I'll hold on to that. Be sure to book the tickets, mwah. Bye~”

Hmmm…

This is slightly bothersome. 

She likes me too much, and as much as I liked her too, I fail to see a way this will end well. In our peculiar family situation, it might not be possible to give her what she wants since I have Ai to take care of.

I'll see.

“Your sister is a free spirit. I like her.” A new voice suddenly said, someone who I had sensed already.

I turned to find Tsubaki Shinra, Student Council Vice President, and Sona Sitri’s Queen, walking up to me with her expression slightly warmer than usual.

“It's been a while,” I greeted her, and to my surprise, my old opponent didn't mind greeting me back with a soft smile and a nod.

“It has. Lady Rias is busy discussing with Lady Sona about some things, that's why she couldn't come to greet you. If you're free, they called you to attend the meeting. They think you'd appreciate being a part of it.” She said and I raised an eyebrow.

They thought I'd like it?

How can I reject it if that's the case?
