Chapter 114: VOL 2 Chapter 59: That’s the one.
After leaving the meeting room of the space station, Erik walked through the station's beautiful corridors until he arrived at a lovely private chamber. He entered the chamber accompanied by Sigrún, Eleonora, and Seraphina, all of them wearing an elegant and serious, almost aristocratic expression. This caused amazement among all passersby.
Just as the doors to the private room closed, a barrier extended, completely covering the room. At the same time, Sigrún leaped onto Erik in excitement, letting any hint of elegance or seriousness fly out the window without the slightest concern.
Absolutely delighted, Sigrún began to give Erik a rapid succession of kisses on his cheek, then hugged him tightly while exclaiming with excitement and spinning in small hops, as if she were a teenage girl.
"You're the best, Erik!!! Did you see the faces of those old bastards? Did you see how they were dying of envy for not having such a brilliant disciple? I was able to show off all I wanted thanks to you, hahahaha, you're the best disciple in the world!!!"
Hearing the happiness in his master's voice, Erik smiled warmly and returned the hug, causing Sigrún to stop hopping. Instead, the beautiful master buried her face in her beloved disciple's chest, allowing her heart to melt in his warm and loving embrace.
Initially, Erik had been a bit worried that he hadn't done enough for his masters to boast the way they wanted. After all, he didn't get too many chances to perform aside from his dramatic entrance at the start and his brazen theft of the staff. But it seemed his worries were unwarranted, and everything turned out just fine.
Meanwhile, Eleonora observed Sigrún's behavior with a gentle smile on her face, genuinely happy to see just how excited she was. But upon seeing the hug that her beloved disciple and sworn sister were sharing, she quickly drew near and hugged him affectionately from behind, then kissed his cheek and spoke in a soft, delighted voice.
"Erik, you really outdid yourself. You made me feel truly proud."
"I'm glad you liked my performance."
Erik commented warmly, at which moment Eleonora rested her head on his back, initiating a comfortable silence in which they conveyed their emotions through the warmth of their embrace. Sigrún and Eleonora's hearts filled with a gentle, soothing sensation, leaving only gratitude in their minds for the day they met their beloved disciple who brought them so much happiness.
After a moment, Erik turned to look at his reliable maid, Seraphina, who, despite having a serious and highly professional expression, inevitably appeared a bit lonely—a sight that brought a playful smile to Erik's lips. His beautiful maid was very dependable, but she was also stubborn to a fault, so she sometimes needed a little push.
