The quiz game went on with Caelum's team going on a winning streak, though not everything was known by him since their question regarding social media and latest news. Caelum only read education information and didn't have much of anything beside it. He got help from Cereza which was technically cheating but it was part of him and rules are meant to be broken.
"We're almost there! Few more seconds and we win…what do we win?"
"Oh right, sorry I forgot to mention that the Winner will get a New Eternum Gear. Though, I already have it and just doing it to have fun. As a bonus, I got to hang out with you girls and get to know Luna."
"Alright, Casanova. I'm curious who'll keep the gear though?"
"Don't know but it can't hurt to have a spare, right?"
"I'm really curious what kind of game is Eternum? I was just too busy with real life that I haven't touched your gift."
"It's alright, as for the game. It's essentially like Sword art online or maybe Overlord without dying in the real world part."
"Hahaha great show, maybe we can watch it together this Sunday."
"Sounds like a plan!"
"Wait, I thought you were going with me this Sunday?"
"No need to worry, I'm heading to Nova in the morning. I have it all under control."
"Where are the two off to, Caelum?"
"That's for us to know. Anyway, it's our turn."
They continued to answer the question without a problem and at the end won the game. Caelum and Nova cheered in excitement while Luna and Penelope only clapped. The other team were extremely disappointed but gave up and left while Caelum claimed his prize.
"I'm glad you've won! I didn't like that Jerry guy winning but what can I do?"
"Yeah, he's too confident. Anyway, this has been fun and I hope it will be like a monthly or yearly thing because it makes things more exciting."
"Right! It would be a massive boost for our business and I thought the same thing but not sure what kind of prize I'll do next time."
"Hehehe good luck with that, Mr. Hernandez."
"Just call me John. I like you kid. If I had a son then I would have liked it to be just like you. Maybe give me a grandson?"
'What the hell is this guy? Is he really letting me court his daughter!? Though, I feel compelled to be close to her.'
"What are you talking about, dad?"
"My princess! I was just telling Caelum here that I was glad your team won. I didn't expect you to know some of the questions which make me proud! I'm really glad my princess is so smart!"
"Stop it dad. Caelum is watching and might think I'm weird…"
"Hahaha no need to worry. I'm no better when my sister is around. It's just our job to embarrass you!"
"Hahahah well said!"
Caelum and Hernandez are quite the pair that made Luna give a small giggle. She was interested in the mysterious young man who was drawn to him. Luna then saw him look at her with a bright smile and didn't expect to give her a hug.
She froze while seeing her dad smirking which made her blush before Caelum let go realizing his mistake.
"Oh sorry, It's a force of habit. Anyway, let's play some Eternum next time."
"Alright next time, see you at school."
Caelum joined back with Penelope who was taking photos of herself while Nova was munching on some croissant then realized that it was his that he was saving causing the two bicker. On the other hand, Luna was staring at him with mixed emotion when she hugged her. It made her feel safe and comfortable for a long time.
"Caelum is a great kid! He often come the shop and helps me with some of the heavy tasks."
"What? Oh you briefly mentioned someone helping you in the morning but didn't want to expect it to be Caelum since you never mention a name."
"Yeah, my bad but you should make a move on him."
"Dad! Why are you trying hard to match me with Caelum?"
"Hey I know when I see a good man."
"Anyway, I'll go clean the dishes in the kitchen."
Luna left unable to bear the embarrassing words of her dad while Hernandez softly smiled. In the meantime, Caelum frown that he had to order another croissant since Nova took his food.
"Well thanks anyway, Nova. Glad you joined us."
"No worries fam! Just don't forget about our anime marathon."
"Yeah Sunday morning got yah."
Nova went home while Caelum and Penelope returned to their home where Nancy and Celine had just made dinner. Caelum took the device upstairs before joining them and told what had happened. Caelum notices how Dalia is still mad at her for peeking but tries to act normal.
"Right, I'm glad the two of you are getting along. Though, it's nice to see you're going out of your comfort zone."
"I owe it to Caelum and it was really fun. The food tasted amazing which makes me mad that Caelum never told me about the place."
"Hehehe my bad. Hey how about you two, how was the first day of school?"
"Nothing much, the people were nice but the teachers were just worse. They gave us tons of activities and homework on the first day!"
"We can do this, Liliena! We'll solve it together!"
"Great that you're optimistic, Annie. Liliena doesn't get work up and takes a deep breath. Just know that I believe in you two."
"Thanks mom."
"I could always tutor you two? I mean I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but I think I can give some pointers."
It was completely and utterly bullshit since he is Practically the smartest man alive. Though, he is hardly perfect and has some flaws but regardless his mind contains nearly every subject.
"Really! Then can we do it later?"
"If I could spend more time with my sister then sure! There are also a few tasks given to us by our teacher anyway."
"How about you, Dalia? Aren't you going to join us?"
"....No, I can handle it thank you. Anyway I'll go ahead since there are still things I have to do."
Dalia left glaring at Caleum who warily smiled while Penelope was giggling. Everyone else didn't know what happened and assumed she was in her period or something.
"Penelope, do you know why she was acting that way?"
"Well….ask Caelum. I bet he can fill you in the DETAILS…"
"...you're a snitch, Penny."
"What happened? Did you do something wrong, Caelum??"
"Well…"
Caelum was forced to tell the truth, feeling a bit ashamed that he peeked at her but the system had the opportunity and would make up with her later.
"Is that why? Yeah you should wait until she is comfortable talking to you again."
"Haa…just hope it won't take long."
After a while, Caelum went to his sister and Annie's room since the two were sharing. It was rather easy for him to teach them the proper way when his talent helped in those areas. The two were able to understand the complex lesson and answer each question. Two hours had passed and they were able to finish every task.
"God, that made my brain explode for fuck sake."
"It wasn't that bad but I'm glad that you were here, Caelum. We might have taken longer if it weren't for you."
"Anytime, it's not you two aren't my girlfriends?"
"True, we're so lucky to have you."
"Hey since we're done, why don't we play a game before heading to bed?"
"Oh what do you have in mind, Liliena?"
"Truth or dare?"
"Game! Who should go first?"
"Let's do a rotation. I'll go first then Liliena afterward you Annie."
"Sound like a plan. Which do you pick truth or dare?"
"Truth!"
"Ah I wanted it to be dare but let's….do you have anything in mind Annie?"
"Hmmm, I've always wondered how was your life before meeting Mrs. Mercer? Hope I'm not being too personal."
"Is that it? Not at all! Well there isn't much to tell. My memory is blury like a fog yet also felt like murky water where I can't see the difference between dream to memories. I was 3 to 5 years old at the time and acted like I was 6 but regardless it's completely blank. Though, I could clearly remember every moment until now when mom and dad rescued me."
Though it didn't had any graphic story and only seem a sad story about abandonment made the two sad for their lover. Though, Caelum hardly cared who he was since whoever his truly is won't ever change that his different from his past self.
"....Sorry I asked."
"No, it's fine. At least fate let me meet you two!"
"Always know what to say, I guess it's my turn…I choose Truth."
"Hmmm that's basically cheating. I practically know everything about you, Liliena!"
"Hah! Suck to be you!"
"I guess the only thing I could ask is…. what's turns you on?"
Liliena stopped laughing before turning pale and realized her mistake while Annie blushed and Caelum smirked. He does want to know their preference to see if he could do it for them.
"B-Brother…can I choose dare?"
"I'll just dare you about it anyway?"
"Crap…I-I…I like…iliketobefuckinpublic!"
"Oh is that so? Noted."
"What? I didn't hear what Liliena said."
"She said…"
"Brother, you already got your answer!"
"Oh come, no need to feel shy. You can ask Annie for her preference later."
"...I guess it's fair. I-I said…fuck…this is embarrasing….I said I like being fuck in public because I like the thrill that people might see us."
'I'll be sure to fuck her in the school bathroom.'
Annie blushed after hearing her friend and could deny that it was making her aroused at the thought. She even wonders about her own fetish.
"Hahaha let's do it in the bathroom then. Just tell me when you want to."
"B-Brother! How can you say something so casual!!?"
"Just saying. We don't need to rush."
"Putting that aside, it's your turn Annie."
"I-I already know what to ask…Uhm…well…I-I hope it isn't too weird but…I like doing it with girls…"
"A-Are….Are you bi, Annie?"
"...Y-Yeah, it is too weird? I love Caelum don't get me wrong but I like the thought of doing it with another while Caelum fuck us. Maybe that is why I don't mind sharing."
"A bit but we won't judge. You're still our friend and it doesn't change anything."
"Thank you Liliena. I'm finally able to get it off my chest."
"Glad you're comfortable with us now."
"Alright it's your turn brother!"
"Welp, I guess what turns me on is having a harem of my own but that's already done. Beside that, I guess dominating you girls? Act tough but not enough to hurt you unless Mary is a Masochist…"
"Hahhaha let's see her next time when we play."
"That doesn't sound so bad and I also like the thought of that Caelum."
"Hehehe duly noted."
They continued to play the game until it was already late and Caelum headed to the bathroom and called it a day. As he was about to head the Grimoire was when the door burst open and Nancy excitedly thanked him for cleaning it thoroughly.
"Glad to see you happy, I'll do it anytime."
"Fufufuf whoever girl you'll get is going to be extremely lucky. We'll have a nice sleep, good night."
Caelum smiled as Nancy went to bed while he went inside his grimoire to spend some quality time with the others. The next day was going to be quite eventful once again.
