The Little Lady's Curiosity

"Little lady, what you saw... it's complicated. It's something you shouldn't worry about." I spoke as I gently caressed her little head.

"But, Papa...!" she insisted, her eyes widening with curiosity, "it looked really weird. Why was she crying?"

Hearing her words, my smile twitched...

Sigh...

I ran a hand through my hair, searching for the right words. "Sometimes, adults do things that are hard to explain. But it's not something you need to understand right now."

Bianca pouted, clearly not satisfied with my answer. "Okay, Papa... However, what is that thing in your pants?"

After hearing her words, I forced a smile, kneeling down to her level. "Listen, little lady, that... 'thing' is something that you'll understand when you're older."

Bulge...

"Mhmpf!" Bulging her cheeks even more, she tilted her head to the side, completely ignoring my gaze.

[Both the constellations "Frost Queen" and "Demon Queen" laugh out loud at your interactions.]

"...."

"I'm not choosing any of you two as my sponsor if I'm given the chance." I exclaimed as I saw the panel in front of him.

I pointed my middle finger to the screen before I muted the notifications.

"Little lady, just be patient. You're going to meet someone very special and dear to you, and then you'll finally understand 'that', alright?"

"...Papa, isn't that person you?"

"A—ah... no!" I shook my head.

"Why...? You're my Papa... the most special person in the world to me!"

"T-that... sigh... it's a different situation. You'll learn that eventually. You can't just cling to me forever, can you?"

"...."

"Did you say something?" My ears twitched as I heard her whispering something.

She just shook her head at my words, so I let it go. Either way, the next scenario was going to appear in a few minutes. I needed to teach Bianca how to increase her mana due to her overpowered skill.

"Little lady, have you already seen your attribute window?" I asked.

"Mhm!" She nodded enthusiastically. "A-ah... I have a skill that increases my mana if I stay quiet for a few minutes..."

"Really!?" I acted surprised. "Then use it. This new form of energy will probably be very important!"

"A-alright... but, Papa... can I sit on your lap while I do it?"

"Eh... sure?" I agreed.

She climbed onto my lap and immediately embraced my chest, wrapping her little arms around my back.

I laid back against the wall, and opened the shop, seeing if I could find something interesting to buy.

Puff!—

"Hmn?"

I glanced around and immediately noticed a blue energy gathering in the air, slowly moving toward Bianca.

"So... that's how it works." I closed the shop panel and looked at it.

"Could I maybe... copy her technique somehow?" I immediately activated my [Secret Sight] skill and looked at Bianca.

Her meridians contracted slightly, and I noticed a small circle in her heart region where the magic gathered before spreading through her meridians.

"......"

"I can try." I mumbled to myself before closing my eyes.

I could try to copy Bianca's method, where there was some kind of mana circle around her heart, but no.

It was simply too risky and I didn't know if that was a part of her white tiger constitution or something.

So, I'll try to create a form of absorbing mana myself.

"Huff!—"

Tremble...!

Slowly, I started absorbing mana, infusing it into my organs instead of creating a circle like Bianca.

"Kaghh!" Immediately, a wave of pain swept through my entire body, sweat beading on my forehead.

A deep headache struck my brain, accompanied by sudden dizziness that threatened to wash over me.

However, that wasn't enough to make me fall asleep.

Instead of slowing down, I pushed forward, absorbing even more magic from the air.

Normally, to conjure a spell, you either use the mana stored in your heart or gather it from the surrounding environment.

And because I had the skill: [Master of Mana], I could do both of those things pretty easily.

This gave me enough confidence to infuse mana into my other organs.

"Kaeguh... ughh...!"

Slowly, I created a path connecting all my organs, forming a storage system for the mana gathered in my body.

I decided to keep it simple, starting from the skeleton of my body which could be considered the "strongest" part of my body.

Then, I continued to other organs like the kidneys, liver, and the lungs.

With that, the pain only seemed to increase, but I held it on and continued until I filled all my 77 organs...

Only one remained... which was the brain.

Firstly, I started with the cerebrum part...

"FUC—ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" 

The pain was excruciating like someone was slowly gnawing on my brain with tiny bites, reminiscent of a rat chewing on cheese.

"N—next... is t-the cerebellum!" I bit down hard on my lip until blood trickled out.

Unlike the cerebrum, it was much easier... which meant that only one part remained which was the brainstem.

"Agh..." To my surprise, it didn't hurt too much.

Instead, a comforting sensation spread through my whole body, washing away the pain.

[Ding! You have realized an impossible feat!]

[You have created a personal magic circulation technique!]

[Your Magic has been increased by 25 due to this feat!]

[Skill: Lucius Sirius Circulation (Lv.1) has been created!

[Effects: You can get a range of 3~10 points of Magic every circulation. This skill has a cooldown of 24 hours.]

"Haahgh... huff... d-damn. It was definitely worth it!" I immediately opened my status and was about to upgrade the skill...

[Error! The user needs to upgrade this skill itself since the user itself has created it.]

"...Whatever... I'm more than s-satisfied..." My eyes suddenly started to close as I felt an enormous urge to sleep.

"F-fuck... L-little lady, I'm leaving m-myself in your ha—..."

"........"

Lucius fell asleep.

"Nihihihi...!" Bianca giggled as she opened her little eyes and turned to look up, seeing Lucius's sleeping face.

"Papa's asleep...! Now... I can check his phone...!" Bianca mumbled as she checked his pocket and brought out his phone.

She quickly put his finger on the back of his phone, and the screen turned on.

"L-let's see... What was that even called...?" She put a finger on her cheek with a thoughtful expression.

"Papa only said... 'Blow me', so—! Oh, I know!" Bianca opened the Google search engine and started typing...

"A-ah... t-this..." her eyes widened as her mouth opened wide. Her face flushed slightly, but, she kept going on...

Slowly, her knowledge of those things started increasing as she browsed more and more of those...

'Adult Things'.
