Chapter 86: I love you...
After practicing for a few more hours, even with the help of regulation spell, Meteria felt quite exhausted.
Leaning against Sion, Meteria sang a soft tune.
Sion didn't speak, he just closed his eyes to enjoy the peaceful moment.
Four days passed before they knew it.
Over the past few days, aside from working on sode no shirayuki alongside Meteria, Sion perfected many of Raiden's functions and designed several other puppets.
Sion was currently short on money.
As the favorite of the Hera familia, Meteria had saved up quite a bit.
Sion's early magic research had used up a portion of it, and crafting Raiden had consumed a significant amount as well.
Unfortunately, Sion's mind wasn't sufficient enough. His own mind couldn't sustain the drain of creating a puppet so he had to use magic stones as a substitute.
"I'll hold off for a while, having Raiden as a template is enough for now," Sion muttered to himself.
"There're some properties in my puppet designs that I don't fully understand yet especially the spatial and dark element."
Spatial elemental magic was best to study alongside dark elemental magic to indirectly understand space and create a shadow dimension.
Many of the animes, have dark and spatial elements connected. The biggest example was Naruto and Black clover.
"Hm?" Sion noticed a presence outside the door and couldn't help but reveal an amused smile.
"You're standing at the door but still haven't come in. Are you hesitating?"
Even someone like Alfia hesitated when it came to matters of the heart.
This is quite interesting, Sion thought to himself.
"Is someone outside the door? Could it be that sister is back?" Noticing Sion's unusual reaction, Meteria blinked in confusion.
Suddenly, both smiled.
...
The two shared a look with matching smiles.
Alfia's pride had become the couple's favorite target for teasing.
Sensing that the two were in the living room and had noticed her presence.
Alfia knew she had no more time to hesitate so she gathered her courage and pushed the door open.
Even though she knew they were in the living room, a strong sense of embarrassment still welled up inside Alfia the moment she saw them.
"Welcome back." Meteria greeted Alfia with a gentle tone.
Alfia sensed that something was off with Meteria.
She knew Meteria well.
Even though Meteria's personality had changed a lot since meeting Sion, Alfia could still see the hidden meaning behind her smile.
Soon, she sat down on the nearby sofa without saying a word.
As if trying to hide something, she didn't even glance at Sion.
Instead, she poured herself a cup of tea and then sipped her drink.
"That's quite cruel," Sion sighed.
"You haven't even looked at me since you came back. We're close, aren't we?"
"Close?" Alfia paused. "If it weren't for Meteria, you'd already be dead."
Her tone proved that she hadn't calmed down. Someone with her intellect would never adopt such a posture, let alone say something that obviously hinted her true feelings.
Although Alfia believed her twin wouldn't understand the underlying meaning she didn't expect that Sion had told Meteria everything that happened.
After hearing Alfia's words Sion turned his head and just as expected, saw Meteria's smile getting brighter and brighter.
"You're being stubborn," Meteria sighed in awe. "You only make that kind of expression when you're around Sion. It's kinda cute."
"Do you... know something?" Alfia trembled.
Her body trembled as she looked at Meteria.
She felt a strong sense of guilt...
Even though Meteria had expressed her desire for the three of them to form a family.
Especially since she could've resisted when Sion kissed her. She could have blocked him before he made his move but she didn't do any of that.
Sigh, I love you...
Alfia sighed and gazed at Sion with a gentle expression then reverted back to her usual face.
