Chapter 67 Interrupted Quality Time

After my lovely dovely moment with Lucy, with great difficulty I persuaded her to continue her classes and work hard to be stronger than the threat I was sensing.

Which was total bullshit because I didn't sense anything at all. Though the threats to our lives were a big possibility because Flora, my contracted pet got attacked by someone with soul magic after I got more closer to her than normal and kissed her passionately.

So I thought that someone was aiming to harm my mental health by attacking people who is close to me.

Well fortunately, they didn't know my curse and probably they thought that I lost my girlfriend instead of my pet.

Although I needed Flora's curse magic to weaken or lift my curse but I wasn't in a hurry because I had a goddess on my side, who was thousands of years of experience. She must certainly have some experience in dealing with curses.

'What should I do now?' I thought because I really didn't have any plans right now.

I was just passing some time in the academy while entering some classes and because of that, I didn't have any plans in my head. Being a sain without some warning fucked up my daily life and having no plan was very bad. Because I needed to do something to relieve my boredom.

'Should I first meet with Alicia and tell her that I am leaving the academy?' I thought but shook my head. My cold image would be worthless if I go to her and I didn't have any particular plan for Alicia. So I didn't think more about her for now.

'Should I begin to do my job as a proper heresy inquisitor?' I thought and nodded my head.

"Aria come here!"

After my shout, Aria rushed into the living room and looked at me with a questioning look.

"Did you pack up everything?"

"Yes master." Aria said and pointed at the storage artifact on her belt.

'I should learn subspace magic. I am an inquisitor, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to learn it.'

Normally sub space magic is regulated by the kingdom because it is considered highly dangerous for normal mages to use it.

So I thought that I can learn it right now because I was an official inquisitor of the church.

"Aria, we have a heretic to burn. Do you know where to find the heretics?"

Aria thought for a second and answered:

"They can be everywhere, master. Sewers, dungeons, forests and slums."

'Well, what she said is true. I think I should go to slums because I am more familiar with slums than dungeons or sewers.'

"Is that so? Then should we act like weak maidens like before the academy?" I said and grinned.

"I will bring the clothes for you, master." Aria said and enthusiastically ran to my room, forgetting the fact that she pack up my clothes to the storage artifact that rests on her belt.

'What a silly woman.'

******

I was walking arm in arm with a short black haired beauty, who was wearing knee high long, frilly white dress, in the gloomy streets of slums.

This beauty was humming without any expression on her face but it was apparent in her blue eyes that she was very happy.

It was a very odd combination for this expressionless beauty but it was strangely looking good on her.

Well, this black haired beauty was Aria. She was happy because she likes to go out with me even if the place we are going was a slum.

And our clothes and looks didn't match the atmosphere of this bleak criminal neighborhood.

I was wearing yellow trousers with a pink shirt. My hair was longer and my face was more feminine than normal.

I hid my masculine features with illusion magic and made myself more feminine to attract more attention.

I wanted to wear more revealing clothes to attract more, but Aria didn't let me wear them and gave me trousers.

Well, I knew that Aria was just being possessive of me and I didn't mind too much about this. Because my current appearance was more than enough to bait some average criminal.

Anyway, I got bored while waiting like this and leaned toward Aria's ear.

"Are you happy because you are with me or because of the morning pleasure?"

Aria's cheeks flushed a little as if she recalled the morning session of us and looked at me hesitantly.

"Mix of both." Aria said and quickly turned her face.

"You don't have to be shy about it, my dear. I will help you a lot of times." I whispered and pinched her waist.

Aria's back momentarily straightened because of my sudden pinch and she puffed her cheeks while looking at me.

I was about to press Aria's puffed up cheeks but I couldn't because I was interrupted by our long awaited criminals, who were running toward us with lustful eyes.

There were about 15 men and their weakest member was 3rd crystal fighter while the strongest was high 4th crystal.

'Capital's average criminals at this level of this strength huh…' I thought after sensing their power levels.

I readied myself for close combat because I wanted to hide my mage profession secret for a while.

'It would be very useful to use magic for a surprise attack. Normal people don't expect magic attacks from close range fighters.' I thought and was about to rush them, but I was interrupted again, though the one that interrupted me was Aria.

"What?" I asked after seeing Aria's arm, which blocked in front of me.

Aria didn't say anything and took a step forward.

'So she is angry because they interrupted us while I was flirting with Aria.' I concluded.

'She is really a relentless woman. She wants to kill them herself, just because they interrupted our quality time, probably she will make them beg for death.' I thought and began to watch my over possessive maid, who was hell bent on torturing some average criminals.
