126. Just Putting on a Brave Face!
Strange, Reina discovered that her way of addressing Calysia seemed a little off.
…Have I always been like this before, shamelessly calling Little Cal ‘Master’?
No?!
Actually, there didn’t seem to be a problem.
Because she was her vassal and maid, it was normal to call Calysia “Master.”
She seemed to be her slave.
It seemed that way for a long time.
I have to give her a good ending, that’s also normal.
Then what was the problem?
The more she was in the [Place of Prayer], the more Reina could think deeply.
But the more she thought, the more her thoughts ran wild in a strange direction.
So she simply stopped thinking about these baseless trifles.
“You dummy Master, damn it… in the end, you’re the one who will suffer!” Reina puffed out her cheeks.
“Hehe~”
“Don’t laugh!”
Reina’s two hands went to work, one pinching Calysia’s chin, the other holding her dragon horn, and then she rubbed her face vigorously before letting go.
“What if my Dragon Mark reaches level 100 and I become a complete fool? Will you take care of me?”
“You’re just a pervert who’s after my body!”
Reina tried to make herself angry, because… it was natural to be angry now.
But strangely…
She found that she had no malice, and those resentments naturally dissipated, as if they had never existed.
…Her heart seemed to be trying its best to believe that the increase in her Dragon Mark level was a good thing! Have I fallen? Have I mentally submitted?
No, no, no…
Reina secretly shook her head.
How was this fallen?
I was just carrying out “virtuousness and good-naturedness” to the end.
Yes!
To prevent that dummy Calysia from getting the better of me, I’m just pretending to be satisfied to turn the tables on her!
And this unconscious “submission” and pleasing her was proof of my successful resistance!
I’ve won completely!
—”Mmph~ I’m sorry, Reina,” Calysia held Reina’s small hand and began to massage the back of her fair hand.
“It’s nothing, we should understand each other. I used to want to betray you, to create a Light Clone… mm, we’re even.”
“Reina is still the best~”
Calysia’s smile was like a budding peach blossom. For a moment, Reina was a little dazed.
“Every time I think of having Reina with me in this cruel world, I’m incredibly happy.”
“Hmph, hmph~”
Reina was proud.
The “managing Calysia” plan was a great success.
The plan ended here.
Reina quickly got to the point:
“Master, can I use the [Eye of Light] now? If I can increase the number of uses, it will be very convenient.”
“You can.”
Little Cal still had that gentle smile.
“You’re now level 98 Dragon Mark, level 70 Light.”
Light has actually broken through level 70?
Only then did Reina remember that the last time she asked Little Cal, her Light level was still 68.
“The [All-Seeing Eye] has increased your level,” Calysia said, noticing Reina’s confusion.
“Then how many skill points do I have left?”
Reina remembered that it had been a long time since she had last chosen a skill…
Because she didn’t usually need it, she had just left it.
But who knew that Calysia would stop playing by the rules?
“Reina, at that time… in the battle against Fred, I helped you choose many skills, mainly to strengthen your body. So, you don’t have much learning space left.”
So that’s how it was. No wonder she felt full of strength at that time.
“Do you want to learn [Dorricati’s Burial]?” Calysia asked.
“…Mmph.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Calysia smiled gently, instantly understanding Reina’s concerns.
“The [All-Seeing Eye], or rather, the Eye of Light, can be strengthened again. When you reach level 70, you can use it at high power once a day, and you can decipher some more important information, but it’s still far from its peak.”
“That’s enough, Master~”
“…”
Calysia seemed to hesitate a little. Whenever it came to this topic, she would become more concerned about Reina… no, rather than concern, it was that all-seeing look. It had faded a little, even showing a hint of sorrow and anxiety.
“Reina, you should be able to regain your vision for about an hour every day now… it seems you don’t care much?”
“Because I have Master to help me~”
Reina’s casual words made Calysia a little intoxicated. Her tense expression melted into a relaxed smile.
“I like you so much.”
“Little Cal, you seem a little strange lately. I always feel you’re usually quite smart.”
Reina remembered Calysia toying with her in front of Pesa, and then her exquisite, practiced acting, like two different people.
Calysia smiled and pinched Reina’s cheek.
“To prevent others from snatching you away~”
This was also a proper explanation. It was inevitable to be jealous. After all, she couldn’t live without her virtuous and good-natured self.
Reina was secretly pleased. She rubbed her cheek against her master’s hand in return.
“Dummy Master, you’re going to too much trouble!”
“Not really~”
Calysia withdrew her hand, leaving Reina with a disappointed and aggrieved look, her dragon eyes like amethyst.
“Didn’t I say that everything about Reina is mine… the air you breathe, the things you see, the fragments of your thoughts, the people you meet, the voices you hear… these things are also mine.”
“I see…”
If that were the case, then Calysia’s declaration in front of the Church of Light that the Goddess of Light was her private property, and her declaration of sovereignty in front of Pesa, could also be explained.
Calysia was a dummy.
—I haven’t fallen to that extent!
Reina wouldn’t be fooled again.
Based on her previous experience, the reason her master said this was to see her shy appearance and take pleasure in it.
The counter-strategy was also simple!
—Go with the flow.
Reina moved closer to Calysia, placed her left leg on Calysia’s right leg, which was clad in stockings, and then sat down, falling into Calysia’s warm embrace, forcing her to spread her legs.
Her slender waist bent slightly, her head brushing against the other’s chest, until she was looking directly at her master with her seductive eyes, and then she said softly:
“So, what Master wants is… all of me?”
She would never have expected me to be so proactive! Little Cal was afraid of her being proactive! Yes… of course, it wasn’t exactly that. The matter of using a forceful kiss to escape an embrace was also very applicable now.
But strangely, her master didn’t look away shyly as before… This time, she smiled sweetly, one hand beginning to touch Reina’s full breast, the other beginning to explore downwards…
Reina’s body twitched slightly.
“Ahhh… mmph…”
“Ha… ah…”
“Awoo♡”
“Ah♡, haa…”
As her body moved, pink hearts appeared in her eyes.
Although she wasn’t in the real world, she experienced a fulfillment that surpassed reality.
So comfortable…
So gentle, so warm♡
Reina stuck out her tongue.
Could it be that her master had adapted to her… assertiveness?
No… how could it be!
She was just putting on a brave face!
