Stealing a tree: Part I

Yuichi unconsciously pushed META-Luck, expending his energy dizzyingly, enveloping the drone with his mana and recalculating the results.

META-Luck was good for this sort of thing too?

Yuichi was moved by a hunch, but considering META-Luck's other abilities it wouldn't be crazy if there was a hidden function like this.

*Ding*

The same notification chimed in the room.

Yuichi observed the same results with no variant present.

Maybe it's true... Yuichi thought about it.

Although he didn't seem entirely convinced, his caution had increased a thousand fold.

The danger was immense right now if it all turned out to be true.

If this world was as special as speculated, it would take an ability strong enough to hide it from the eyes of the Big Shots of the entire Universe.

It seemed that the Sacred Tree was not as simple as he thought.

With many thoughts running through his head, Yuichi put the drone away.

Then, continuing to sharpen his axe, many artifacts began to pile up at his side.

Precious items that could be useful in case of emergency, somehow he felt more confident after seeing such objects.

The wealth was truly amazing in many ways, it gave any man absolute confidence.

...

.

Lucie woke up after five minutes, watching Yuichi's movements, she was speechless.

There was not enough room to move as the room was filled with exquisite treasures.

Only her bed, with enough space for two people, had been spared.

Yuichi looked up and smiled at Lucie, looking a bit tired as he held a worn Grimoire.

"Messiah-sama what happened?", Lucie with a puzzled expression wanted to help Yuichi with whatever he was planning.

She tried to get up, with a blush expanding on her face, she decided to give up after her legs didn't respond as she wanted them to.

The numbness in her lower half was strangely warm, remembering everything that had happened, she sighed fondly as she watched Yuichi.

"Ehhh!" suddenly Lucie cried out in surprise, Yuichi appeared directly beside her.

Space Magic... she was briefly startled but quickly snapped out of her stupor when Yuichi's hands touched her body.

"Just relax... let me give you a massage," Yuichi smiled suggestively, he had guessed her problem.

Lucie nodded shyly, lying on her back revealing her naked body.

Pink wisps of smoke appeared on his hands, Lucie watched everything with curiosity.

His hands roamed Lucie's thick thighs, her pelvis and belly, as Lucie took a deep breath stifling any sound.

"Lucie, what do you think of Dark Elves? Do you hate them?", Yuichi asked, as his hands moved up her belly heading towards Lucie's milky breasts.

Lucie pondered the question.

Though her answers would always be the same even if she thought about it for a long time.

"I-I can't hate them Messiah...", Lucie cut her words short when she saw Yuichi's smile, she understood the meaning, no need for formalities, she continued.

"I can't hate them, Yuichi.... no one wants to say it but in the beginning we all lived in harmony , however, somehow we ended up killing each other for many years", Lucie frowned sadly remembering all these years, even though she didn't live through the worst time of this world, she still had to experience hundreds of years of bloody fighting.

"You don't know the real reason?", Yuichi asked tentatively.

Lucie shook her head.

"Maybe Nol-sama is the only one who knows the real reason for this endless war," Lucie sighed sadly, although she had suffered a lot, her pain couldn't compare to Nol's.

She was very worried about Nol, who truly knew how much weight was on her shoulders.

"Yuichi, can you..."

"Sure, I will," Yuichi interrupted her as if he had understood her intentions without needing any words.

"..."

"Yuichi still hasn't...", Lucie was stupefied by his immediate cooperation, she hadn't even finished her words.

He can read my thoughts... Lucie thought about that possibility.

But it was as uncertain as it was probable, anyway she didn't care if it turned out to be true.

She had nothing to hide and no important secrets, she usually always spoke the truth with people who gained her trust.

Yuichi smiled wryly.

From his perspective, Lucie was like an open book, that was very dangerous.

I must train Lucie... Yuichi thought about that problem, they might take advantage of the innocent Elf at this rate.

"Of course I'll help Nol, her problems are my problems after all," Yuichi responded to Lucie's request.

Lucie smiled radiantly when she heard those words, but her smile twisted strangely because of Yuichi's provocative touches.

Many people didn't know it but Lucie could detect a lie and a truth easily, good and bad intentions couldn't confuse her, a very useful skill for one with such a gentle nature.

Lucie realized that Yuichi favored Nol a lot or at least cared about her.

She didn't know what had happened between them to make their relationship grow so strong so quickly, but that was good anyway.

Yuichi was really speaking the truth, Nol was pregnant and would give birth to his daughter.

It was a bond deeper than he could imagine, something that couldn't be easily broken even if he wanted to.

Besides, at some point, his luck and Nol's had mixed, a string made purely of Luck had been created, even Karmic strings could not compare.

Yuichi didn't understand the principle or how such a string had been formed, let alone what it was for, he only knew that it was not harmful in any way.

More strings had appeared, joining him with Kotone, Ayane, Nush, Yukino, even Lucie.

...

.

Yuichi continued massaging for another three minutes until Lucie could recover from her numbness.

Afterwards, Lucie began to help Yuichi.

Polishing his plans.

Lucie was skilled in alchemy something that deeply charmed Yuichi.

An alchemist, that was wonderful!
