8 Chapter 8: Doubt I

"3rd–sphere is the rank of my talent." Adele said, looking at Alex.

"Your talent is 3rd–sphere, so how many spheres are there and how strong is the 3rd–sphere compared to others." Alex asked Adele.

"There are 5 ranks in total for talent, the first one is 1st–sphere and last is 5th–sphere. The ranking is based on the consumption of mana, that is required to activate the talent. The 1st–sphere required low mana but has high power and the 5th–sphere required high but its output is low. So most of the cases of 5th–sphere talents are considered useless because of their high input and low output."

"And most of the time this ranking proved useless in the case of special category talent. As some of the special category talent—such as young miss Sylvie [Prodigy]—don't use mana for activation."

"Other than that, there is unranked talent, which doesn't come on the chart. And there is also a mention of the EX–sphere but no one knows how they work or anything. So it is considered a myth that doesn't exist." Adele said.

"And my talent—[Greater Strength]—can be considered top in the 3rd–sphere. If someone underestimated me that will cost them heavily."

Hearing her give him well-detailed information that is straight to the point, Alex was really impressed. But there is one more that he had to solve—

"Adele, You said that the name of the talent is not something that you can easily disclose to others—you not only give me its name but also its effect. Why is that?" Alex asked with his cute child-like voice with his beautiful purple eyes—that were brimming with innocent—staring at Adele.

Seeing that Alex was looking at her with his innocent eyes.

Adele hesitated for a bit but eventually, she was not able to win against the puppy dog eye that Alex was making.

"Because you are like a son to me. Ever since Madam Laura's death, I take it upon myself to take care of you as there is no one present to give you parental love. And which mother will hide a secret from his own son."

Adele said with a lovely voice which was a critical hit for Alex's adult soul.

'Sorry, I can't see you as a mother—I can only see you as a woman. But I very much welcome a role–playing.' Alex thought while still maintaining his innocent appearance.

Even since Alex arrived at this Adele and Sylvie are the only ones he has been interacting with and most of the time Adele is formal not only in her speech but also in her body language. This is the first time she has shown some emotions on her face. Even when she calls his name directly, her tone still sounds formal.

But for Alex, this was enough to reinforce his thoughts about her. And who wouldn't like to have a strict maid as a lover—definitely not him.

"Then should I call you mother from now." Alex asked Adele, but his expectation was blown away by her reply.

"No, Young Master, you can't call me that. It will reduce your reputation if you call your servant mother. So I can't allow that." Adele said firmly with a tone for no argument.

'Too bad, I was really looking forward to having an incestuous relationship. Well who knows, maybe that will change in the future.' Alex thought but what comes from his mouth was an entirely different thing.

"Is that so, then I wouldn't call you mother." Saying so Alex dropped his head as if hurt for not being able to call her mother.

Adele didn't say anything to Alex who was pretending to hurt.

"It is already evening—it's time for you to take a bath, Young Master." Adele said turning back to his formal appearance as the maid.

Hearing the word bath Alex's eyes suddenly lift up.

"It's already evening, then let's take the bath, Adele." Alex said as he held hands with Adele.

Since he arrived in this world bath is one of the things that Alex always looked forward to as it is a place where he can see Adele without obstacles known as the dress.
