Chapter 68 68 Brief Tranquility

He lovingly gazed at her and couldn't help but caress her head with affection. As if it was a seasoned impulse that he had been holding back for centuries, he couldn't stop his hand once he began.

Luna liked this more than any praise he could have showered with. Physical displays of affection were the best in her eyes.

"Mmmh~" Only when a satisfied moan escaped her mouth did he pull his hand back and focused on the road again. Had he not done that, he might have jumped Luna right there for releasing such a seductive voice in the open.

"I keep forgetting she is a succubus underneath that heavy cloak. She can ooze seduction with her gaze alone." Zach thought as he concentrated on the path ahead.

Luna looked a little dissatisfied with the short duration and longingly looked at his hand that was now resting by his side.

But it didn't take long for her to forget her dissatisfaction since the object of her affection was walking along side her. She once again went on the offensive in the efforts to get what she wanted.

"Did I do good? I did good right? You know I did." Luna looked like a rapper throwing her words at Zach with the speed of sound.

Zach felt a little odd at the sudden aggression from Luna but he knew what she wanted in reality. It had been quite a while since they had been together. He was even familiar with the intention behind the slightest twitch of her finger let alone such an obvious attempt to garner his affection.

He found it to be extremely cute.

Even though they had been together countless times during this tenure, she still felt like she was the only one getting a reward while Zach worked like a slave to offer her that reward.

That 'reward' was obviously sex, food as well in Luna's case.

"Yes Yes my Luna did a wonderful job. You looked very cool when you defeated him." Zach finally relented and stopped teasing her.

"AND~" Luna became exceptionally excited at the praise she received from her master but this wasn't exactly what she was looking for. She had a pitiful expression on her face like a wife who had been neglected by her husband for a long time.

Zach felt her desperation and let out a long sigh. While holding his chin, Zach looked into the distance as if thinking heavily about a serious subject.

"I feel like I should give you a reward for your hard work."

"Hm…Hm…Master definitely should." Luna vigorously nodded her head as if he had just arrived at the topic that she had been hinting at for so long.

In her innocent mind, she couldn't even imagine that her master already knew of her intention from the first instant; although that innocence was only reserved for her master. For the others, Luna was exceptionally devious and crafty. She didn't trust any other human or anyone else for that matter. But somehow she turned into a mushy and innocent girl when it came to Zach.

"Hmm~…Let's see. Should I give you a weapon? You don't have a weapon right?" Even though Zach had decided not to tease her any longer, he couldn't hold himself back once he saw her expectant look.

Luna's face darkened at the mention of the weapon as a reward. Though a weapon wasn't bad considering Zach's weapons were unique, she wanted something else…something that could satisfy her hunger.

Zach was surprised to see the darkness on her face that came out of nowhere. He felt a little afraid of her when she was like this. He had seen many dramas and knew what happened to men when their women went over to the dark side.

He could imagine her cutting his member off as he slept. She was definitely capable of doing that if he hadn't become her master. But even if she couldn't do that, there were several ways she could come up with to torture him if she wanted to. He still remembered what she had done when he asked her to heat up his bath water in place of the maid at the Luther family mansion.

"Don't give me that look. Of course I know what you want. I will definitely feed you well tonight when we get home." Zach had to throw his weapon to the ground because he didn't want his innocent Luna to turn into a vengeful woman.

The dark look on her face vanished into oblivion as if it hadn't been there at all. She was back to her jovial self as soon as she heard the announcement of her desired reward. The satisfied smile on her face was definitely better than the devouring darkness that Zach had witnessed earlier.

Witnessing the changing moods of the woman, Zach couldn't help but think back on what he had heard about women in his previous world.

"Women are definitely terrifying creatures."

-----------------

A few days passed in which Zach kept waiting for any kind of movement from the father and son duo of the Sosis family but unlike what he had expected, even Raisman was able to keep his instincts in check. Both of them had yet to plot anything against him.

As for how he knew, it was obviously the benefit of the mechanical dragonflies that he had released in the Sosis family estate. Each and every area of that family was constantly being monitored.

Diana had been improving her knowledge about the guns on a daily basis. She soaked in all the knowledge he provided her like a sponge and utilized it in her training. Due to that, she had become proficient in weapon stripping, rapid and burst firing from various positions. Zach was even working on teaching her the ways of the sniper rifle.

A sniper was definitely the best kind of support there was and Zach felt that it would make his life so much easier if he had someone for back up all the time when he proceeded into tense situations like the one he had encountered when he had to go to the Sosis family mansion all alone and without any support.

Although nothing had happened to him or Luna, he couldn't always be sure that something unexpected won't threaten their lives in unknown hostile environments. And going without any support in such situations was no different from a suicide.

Diana was following a strict training regimen that had been designed by Zach especially for her. He had included the same training exercises that he had used to train himself in the new world.

At first the servants were very wary of the constant explosive sounds that had become a norm in the Luther family, but slowly they began to accept it as well like those in his previous world who were born and lived their entire lives in warzones where weapons and firing sounds were a constant company.

It especially helped, when both Bruce and Zach explained to them that they would be fine if they never came in front of the tube like thing that their young lady was using, they would be fine.

Although, the servants and the guards became especially wary around Diana whenever she was carrying around guns, they stopped being paranoid about their young lady training to become a dark mage at the very least. From time to time, some of the weak hearted servants jumped out of Diana's way like the plague was about to take them but other than that there were no adverse effects of Diana learning to wield guns from Zach.

Majority of Zach's day was spent training Diana in order to make her field ready as soon as possible since the Sosis family was expected to retaliate any day after their loss. He wanted her to be ready to take on enemies by then so that the burden of the forces would be lesser on his and Luna's shoulders.

Even though he was paying attention to Diana's growth, Zach didn't neglect his favorite succubus. He trained her even harder at night and in the early morning during her meal times.

Luna was getting "upgraded" in real time. Not only was she getting stronger, she was also learning to control her increasing strength better in her free time when Zach was teaching Diana.

As a pleasant side effect to feeding her on a daily basis, Zach kept receiving various rewards from the system for completing the repeatable daily quest. No matter how busy he was, he never forgot to claim the rewards for completing the daily request. It always felt like looking for gold amongst a pile of garbage to him.

The weapons available in his Weapons Arsenal were mostly garbage but from time to time there appeared a weapon or a utility technology that made him laugh out loud in excitement with his hand covering a part of his face like a certain mad scientist who pretended to be evil and made outwardly and destructive discoveries.

Thanks to the constant progress and the increasing strength of the Luther family overall, Bruce's body language had changed lately. All the servants and the guards of the Luther family had noticed the change in the tone of his voice and the way he handled the daily affairs of the family with unending vigor.

Compared to his robotic and lifeless self from the past, this Bruce was a welcome sight for all those who had seen him ailing and wailing after the passing of his father.
