29 A Visit
The next day, I was sitting on Mom's study as I was thinking of how should I write an erotic novel. I'm not aiming for it to become a masterpiece, I just needed something that would get Sis interested.
"Argh fuck it, 18+ Romeo and Juliet it is." I said as I gave up thinking too hard about it
I had some experiences with literary reviews, but I never was on the side where I'm the one writing it. So why not just copy what I already reviewed before, except this time it's erotica.
As I was about to write though, I realized I didn't remember shit about Romeo and Juliet. Sure Romeo died of poison and Juliet committed suicide, but that's about it. Let's go with something I remember much more clearly.
"Ah shit, Mulan I guess?"
The more I thought about it, the more it made sense. A girl who got into the military to prevent her loved ones from going to war, That's something Sis would like. I don't think she's a fan of those princess stories, who will have a prince to save them.
I'll have to tweak the characters and settings a little bit though. Something more elvish, something more relatable, and something more 'family-focused'.
[Maybe her little brother was already of age, and was about to get drafted into war? I mean, women can voluntarily enter the military, but when it comes to military drafts, the government still prioritizes men.]
As I felt the plot slowly start to form in my head, I took down notes and wrote a general manuscript of how the novel should go. I need to finish this before the years ends, after all. She would know about sex anyways later on, one way or another, what matters is how she learns about it.
While I was having such thoughts-
"Riel! Lunch's ready~" I heard Celine's voice downstairs
"Okay, I'm coming~" I replied as I put away my writing materials
---------------------------------------------------------------
"How is it?" Sis asked
"It's better compared to yesterday" I said my evaluations
"I see..." Sis frowned as my answer didn't seem satisfactory for her
"Well, it's really good for someone who just started! Uhm, don't worry!" I said as I tried to raise her spirits
"Un" She absentmindedly replied while lost in her own thoughts
"Will you go back to training?" I asked
"Probably"
"I see, well I'll stay here to keep watch at our house." I said before giving her a quick peck on the lips
"Goodbye~ I'll be the one to cook dinner, okay?" I added with a cutesy smile
"Oh… hehe, sure~" that seemed to raise her spirits up, as her usual blank face had a slight smile in it
Celine then tidied herself before going out once again. Now alone, I started to think of my magic. Specifically, what else can I do with my knowledge. The plant, or should I say nature, magic is pretty versatile and all. But surely there is something more I could do.
I once tried doing the 'Blood-bend' thing I watched from a certain TV show. After all when I was a kid, Celine moved the mana inside of my body to help familiarize myself with magic. But apparently that's the most we could do with it, even as high elves.
Apparently it's really hard to manipulate mana inside living things, especially older ones. Which is why Mom did it while we were still young, and is also the reason I can't manipulate already existing trees. They reject my mana, whenever I try to manipulate them. Leaving me only with seeds, who I have to forcibly grow and even then they will still wither after a few minutes.
From what I've read, stuff like Lava and Mud already exists by using two elements at once. So they were still kind of in the range of the '4 elements' magic. But what I'm wondering is, how does magic like necromancy work? Those things usually has to something to do with souls and spirits, and that is something I can't comprehend.
Maybe I'm the stupid one for thinking that everything could be explained by science, in a world where magic exists.
As I was about to resume to my magic practice I heard someone knock on the door. Is Sis back? Well that's pretty fast, usually she'll return by sunset.
When I opened the door it wasn't Celine's face that greeted me-
"Hello~" Aerin greeted happily
She had a blouse, that went around her shoulders. I could've seen more cleavage, if she didn't have a scarf wrapped around her neck. She was wearing a long skirt, that reached all the way down to her legs, as well as a lady's aristocratic hat that I saw in old movies. She had her usual class and style, as she arrived at our door.
"Teacher? Good afternoon~" I replied with a smile
"Uhm, why are you visiting?" I asked
Why is she here? I already told her that Mom is out right? And that I have to stay home to take care of the house. It's the first time she ever visited our house, usually it's me going to her place not the other way around.
"Well, you told me earlier that you can't cook right? So I thought I'd help you out a little bit~" She replied
"I also brought some afternoon snacks, in case you're hungry already" She added as she raised what looks like a picnic basket
"Oh… That's nice, teacher! I was getting worried about what I should cook for dinner~" I replied in high spirits
"Un, Please come in." I said as I opened the door, letting her inside
"Don't mind me then~" She said as she came in
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Aerin POV-
When he first told me that his Mom was gone for a few days, I thought it would be a good opportunity to get him closer to me. Though I've been mentoring him for years now, I never really went into his home before.
"Oh my~ everything seems cozy in here." I remarked, as I hung my hat in a rack on the wall.
Their home wasn't anything extravagant, but the furniture arrangements and color scheme really gave a cozy and homely feeling into it. They say that you can know what kind of person someone is from how their house looks, and from what I can see their family seems to be very responsible and well-kept in their belongings.
"Well, Everyone works hard to make sure everything is in place." I saw him reply with a blush, as he averted his eyes from me
"Are you alone right now?" I asked though I already knew the answer
"Uhm, Sis will return when the sun starts to set." He replied
"I see… Where do you practice usually?" I asked, interested in my pupil's daily life
"Uhm, I usually play in the window near my bed."
"Oh, in your bedroom?" I was surprised
"How about you take me there?" I was now curious about what his room looks like
"Uhm, sure." He replied, as his cute hands grabbed mine as he led me upstairs
Entering the room, I noticed that it didn't seem like a boy's room at all. The bed was way too large for his size, the large mirror, the book shelf and the study table, made it seem like an adult's room instead.
"Me and Mom share this room." He explained
He still sleeps with his Mom? Well he's still pretty young, so it's not that strange. But he must really be attached to his mom if that's the case. He's a lot closer to his family, compared to what I first imagined. Perhaps getting a good impression from his Mom might mean a lot more than what I initially thought.
I knew his Dad isn't around, for a reason he doesn't know. Maybe he became a lot more attached to his Mom because of that?
"Oh I see, where is the harp I gave you?" I asked, as I sat at the edge of the bed
"It's over there, let me get it" he said as he tried to take it from a table
"No, no… It's fine. I didn't come here to give you a lesson" I said as I stopped him
"Instead, here~ I prepared this sandwich for you, you know?" I said as I took out a sandwich I made
"Uhmm… we're on the bedroom… crumbs may fall on the bed" He said, afraid that I might get angry for rejecting my offer
"Oh my, what a thoughtful kid you really are~" I replied as I put back the sandwich, almost embarrassed that a kid has better table manners than me
"Come here you..." I pulled him close into an embrace, cupping both of his cheeks with my hands as I gave him a deep kiss on the lips
When I finally let go of his face, I could see his eyes wide, with a face so red he could pass off as a tomato. I remember being stunned when he first gave me a peck on the lips when he was so young, he used to think that a kiss was something you just gave to people you like.
"U-uh… W-why?" he said while stammering
Obviously he must know what it means by now, since he gets embarrassed everytime I give him one. His cute reactions made me want to keep doing it to him. Fufu~ Riel do you have a crush on your teacher?
"You used to always kiss me when you were young, but you suddenly stopped. Do you not like Teacher anymore?" I said pretending to be sad
"No! But… we're not-"
"Not what?" I said as I teased him
I looked at him once again, he has raven black hair hair that reaches to his shoulders, as well a beautiful pair of violet eyes. Though he looks more cute and adorable, than handsome right now. I'm sure he would be quite the looker when he matures.
I used to think that having this cute kid adore me would be enough. But taking a closer look at him and his talents, He has a gentle and caring personality, combined with his deep talent in magic and arts. I'm sure he would become a talented stunning young man when he grows up.
Knowing how much he likes me, perhaps I might just snatch him up while he's still young before he makes his appearance in the capital.
"Not… uhm" he wasn't able to say it, as I expected
You can't say that we're not lovers? After all, isn't that what you want to happen?
"Then isn't it fine? You were so cute back then, you know?" I said as I held his cheeks again, before pulling him down into the bed with me, as I gave him another kiss.
"Mmm?!" Maelriel was shocked again
I was having a blast with his reactions. Earlier I just said, that maybe I should give a good impression to his mom. But I wonder what she would think, if she finds out that her young son is being kissed by me in her very own bed. Imagining his mother's face if she sees us like this made me smile in delight, as I continued teasing my sweet student.
