Our strengths were not the only things that had changed in the past years. Sister and I did many things, such as physical training and studies. We changed in terms of physical appearance and mental awareness.
I grew up and nearly got 5-foot tall. My body has become more masculine as a result of leveling and regular exercise. I got toned muscles and had better physique than the people my age.
"Time to get out."
I get out of the water after I finish washing my body. I took a white robe and wrapped it around the wet body. I opened the massive door of the men's bathhouse and exited the room.
Along the way, the servants I passed kept walking fast, almost to the point of running. The clamor of exchanging requests and orders resonates along the wide corridor.
"Deliver this letter to the recommended pastry shop."
"Right away."
"And arrange a request for the fabrication of Young Lady's dress. This is the design of the dress and the measurements."
"Understood, Miss Mary."
Mary gave an order to the two maids just now. The mansion has been getting busy in the past few days, and it will get busier as my sister's social debut is around the corner.
The latter maid runs in my direction after taking the paper. It contains my sister's body measurements, and I cannot let this opportunity slip away. I am curious about my sister's body measurements right now, so I decided to take a peek.
When the maid was about to pass me, I accelerated my brain speed to the max. The limit of my Thought Acceleration right now is around seventy times faster than normal. It's still slow compared to my mothers, that's why I didn't waste even a split second.
I rolled my eyes while steading my head. I stared at the paper in the brown-haired maid's left hand as she ran past my right. I did not take my eyes off the paper even for a millisecond.
The gaze of my amethyst eyes followed the paper's trajectory without moving my head. Everything was so slow, and I could see every movement of the maid, including her splashing sweat and the bouncing of her bosom. I feel like I am using the visual technique of a famous clan in a famous ninja anime.
Within the suspended world, I scanned the paper and read its contents. The first thing I saw was the sketch of the dress. The design was a little too girly for my sister, and it is written that the color would be pink, which increases its girliness.
I shifted my gaze to the part where numbers clustered—my sister's measurements. There were so many details, but I ignored most of them. I focused my eyes on the three important numbers.
(Concentration!)
I silently cast a Level 1 Martial Art to enhance my focus and narrowed my mind to ignore the unnecessary information. And I internally widened my eyes as I was amazed by what I saw.
The world returned to its normal state, and the maid finally passed me and ran further behind. I did not looked or even turned my head and continued to walk like nothing happened.
('Bust - 87, Waist - 60, Hips - 85'.)
"No way…"
I said as I suddenly stopped my feet from walking and covered my mouth with my fingers. I really did not expect her to grow this much. If it continues at the same pace, she might attain the level of Mother or even Mom in a few years.
"Is there a problem, Young Master?"
"? Ah, no. There's no problem at all. Just forget what I said."
"If you say so…"
While I was in the middle of my visualization of what my sister would look like in the next few years, I was too absorbed by it and didn't notice that Mary was already in front of me.
"Then, I have to go and get dressed." I said as I stared at my robe.
"Please make it quick; you have a dance lesson with the Young Lady later."
"Oh. I totally forgot about that. Thank you for reminding me."
"Not a problem."
I got too absorbed of my training that I forgot my dance lesson. I can remind myself using the reminder functions of my computer brain but I forgot that too. I then hurried my steps to quickly reach my room and change my clothes.
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆
I went straight to the music room after I changed my clothes. I am currently wearing a white long sleeve shirt with black slacks paired with black leather tap shoes.
I checked myself first before opening the wooden door. I entered the room and looked around to see the alignment of various musical instruments.
I spotted my sister, who was standing beside the piano, and three other women. My red-headed piano teacher, Lesley Oddrey; the blonde American-looking violinist, Valentina; and our silver-haired dance instructor, Krishna.
Only Lesley had a surname, while Valentina and Krishna didn't. In this world, or maybe on this continent, only the royalties, aristocrats, rich merchants, and those granted knighthood peerage were allowed to have a surname.
The royal and noble titles were hereditary, but the knighthood was not. You must prove yourself first to be recognized as worthy of the title. By the way, my parents were former adventurers and got knighted after conquering the Imperial Dungeon.
"The Young Master has arrived. Let's start the practice as soon as possible."
"Alright."
"Affirmative."
As Lesley said, with a clap, we maneuver ourselves and get to our positions. I approached my sister and offered her my left hand.
"Would you like to go to the dance with me?"
"Yes, thank you; I'd love to."
She placed her right hand on my left as she accepted my request for a dance. Proper etiquette is a must when it comes to ballroom dancing. It indicates the formality of the event and shows your respect to your partner.
I guided her to the center of the room, where we faced each other. I raised my left arm straight over the shoulder; she did the same with her right. She put her left hand above the right shoulder as I placed my hand on her lower back.
(Too close!)
The distance between us was so close that we almost touched each other. I stared at her well-developed chest and remembered the paper that I saw earlier. My sister suddenly leaned forward and pressed her chest against mine.
"Eye contact is an etiquette in dancing. Don't just avert your gaze; look me in the eyes."
"I apologize."
I immediately apologized, as she said that while puffing her cheeks. I can feel the pressure on her chest as she keeps pressing it. She leaned back after I turned my gaze into her amethyst eyes. Personal space was also an etiquette in dancing.
Then the piano and the violin finally started to play. The music was composed (self-proclaimed) by me. It was one of the most famous pieces of music for tango, which is our dance, the Por Una Cabeza. In the event, it will be played by an orchestra, so we've got a violinist and an accompanist right now.
I named it 'Scent of a Woman', which was the title of the film where Por Una Cabeza was played. I named it after the movie title instead of the music title itself because the name of the music had something to do with horses.
Tango had differences from the common waltz. It is faster and more difficult than the waltz, which is why it is usually performed by intermediate-level dancers. But Por Una Cabeza was different. Aside from its beautiful melody, its choreography was easy to follow and easy enough for beginners to execute.
As the music started, I and my sister began to dance. Each step we took was executed with synchronization and precision. My right foot stepped forward, her left foot stepped backward, and vice versa.
Our movements were flawless, fluid, and filled with elegance. My sister spun and twirled her body at the right speed, perfectly timing her movements with the tempo. Her training and level might have something to do with it.
For every move she makes, her voluptuous breast keeps swaying and bouncing. Every time I touch her body, her body feels so soft, and her skin is so smooth despite having a four-digit defense stat.
And before we knew it, more than two minutes had passed and the music had come to an end. We faced the non-existent audience and bent our bodies to make a bow.
"Perfect! Just keep it up. You already memorized the choreography, but keep practicing until the last day to avoid forgetting it."
""Yes, teacher!""
Teacher Krishna applauded as the representative of the non-existent audience and praised our performance. My sister and I replied in unison after she gave us her advice.
"Let's call it a day. Take a rest and get ready for the next session. Goodbye."
We dealt with our own stuff and exited the music room. We siblings waved our arms to our teachers as they made their way out of the mansion gates.
"You kept staring at them earlier, didn't you?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"This."
"Oof!"
I could not help but open my eyes wide as my sister raised her chest using her folded arms. It is raised so high that I can see her cleavage peeking out of the unbuttoned part of her white long-sleeved blouse. I immediately turned my head and averted my gaze away from her.
"Do you really think that I didn't catch your gaze?"
"…Sigh. It can't be helped. You looked so beautiful today."
I gave up after a while and told her my excuse. Well, it is true that she really looked beautiful and gorgeous today.
"Hmph. If you say so... Then as a punishment, serve me some pasta."
"As you wish, Your Majesty."
And that's how I ended my day today. I hunted T-Rex, danced with my sister, and cooked her pasta.
"Sigh." I sigh again as I stare at the setting sun.
Me and my sister keep practicing the tango, and it is already the eve of her birthday before we know it. We practiced our dance almost every day, so I can see myself doing tango in my dreams.
I am currently roaming around the mansion and observing the surroundings. I walked by a wide corridor and stopped in front of a huge double door. I can hear the clamoring of the servants inside the room from the outside.
I opened the door wide enough to fit my head. I peek out my head first before my whole body. Then silently close the door for me so as not to disturb the busy servants.
The room that I just entered was the Great Hall, the largest chamber in the mansion. It takes up two floors just to grasp the ceiling. It had a 15-foot-wide hall on the second floor with staircases at both ends that allowed you to access the balcony.
There were doors on both sides of the chamber. The first was the door I used. Adjacent to it was the door to the outside, where the vast garden was. To my right was the kitchen. Lastly was the parlor, followed by the dressing room.
The hall was already filled with tables and chairs for the guests. I turned my head to the right to see the platform where the orchestra would perform. It was in the right corner of the hall. A black grand piano was standing at the center of the orchestra.
I moved my foot on the marble floor and went straight towards the adjacent door. Some servants noticed me, but I gave them a gesture to ignore me and continue working. I passed through the already opened door and walked towards the garden.
The flowers in the garden are neat and well-maintained. These flowers just opened their petals and bloomed this season after surviving the cold winds of the winter.
After I observed the flowers in the garden, I examined the surroundings and found a thorny flower that was under the shadow of the gazebo. And that thorny flower was my sister, Louise.
She was not the only one under the gazebo; our maid Mary was also in there. But what I am seeing right now is rather different from the usual. Instead of servants always staying behind their master, Sister was behind Mary.
"Young Lady, I have many things to do right now. Will you let me go right now?"
"No. You stay here."
Sister refused Mary's demand while wrapping her arms around Mary's body. They are currently sitting on one of the stone chairs around the gazebo's circumference. That's right, sister is hugging Mary from the back.
My sister right now had her eyes on and likes women.This is one of the notable changes that can be seen in my sister. She must have inherited mother's geh genes.
"Looks like there are wild lilies in our garden."
"R-Raphael?! Don't just appear out of nowhere!"
"Young Master! Please forgive me for my indecent appearance."
"I came here looking for a single stem of rose, but I found a flowerbed full of ambrosia."
"What are you referring there?"
"Flowers. Just flowers."
I silently approached the gazebo to butte in. My sister got startled by my sudden arrival and hugged Mary more tightly. Mary excused herself for showing me her vulgar appearance.
By the way, ambrosia was a legendary flower, and it was really hard to find. Legends said that ambrosia was the main ingredient in making the Resurrection Potion. It had the highest healing process among all of the medical herbs known to mankind. Even a single petal of it can heal serious injuries.
Sister started to like women a few years ago. One day, she told our parents that she was too old to bathe with them. And she said that she would take a bath in a woman's bath.
Exposure to a young woman's bare skin awakened the hidden geh blood flowing throughout her veins. Since then, her lust for women grew stronger day by day, to the point that she sexually harassed some of our servants in the context of accidents.
She eventually confessed to us about her sexuality, and our parents released a sigh of relief as if their suspicions were true. Then we heartily accepted her true self with flying (rainbow) colors.
"Enough with the jokes. What are you doing here?"
"Well, I just came up with an idea on how to deal with your problems without relying on the Eternal Apple or making her a vampire."
"It's that true? Can you really prolong her life without relying on those?"
"Yes, but it takes a long time to attain."
The atmosphere of the gazebo suddenly changed as I opened the problem that my sister kept thinking about. I sat on the metal chair that surrounded the metallic table in the gazebo, and my sister and Mary followed suit.
"Tell me the details."
"Okay. But the words that I spout must remain confidential and stay between the two of us."
Sister and Mary looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Mary stood up from her seat and exited the gazebo, then disappeared behind the Great Hall's door.
After her confession that she was gay, she said that she loved Mary and wanted her to be her concubine. And Mary slowly fell in love with my sister too.
My sister's problem started when she knew that our parents decided to use their High Human Racial Skill and live together forever.
Mother and Mom halted the maturation of their bodies when they reached the age of thirty. They were almost in their forties, but they retained their youth and beauty, and they still looked like they were in their late twenties and in their prime at first glance.
My sister wants to evolve into a High Human to acquire the Longevity skill and live in eternity with my mothers, the same is true for me. But the problem was that it was almost impossible for Mary to have an eternal life.
There were very few ways to have an eternal life. One was to acquire a rare skill called Longevity. The only way to obtain it was to evolve into a High Human. But evolving from a Human into a High Human required a minimum level of one thousand. This is how my parents got their eternal life. You can also steal it if you have a skill-stealing ability.
The other way was to eat the Eternal Apple. Eating this fruit will give you a skill called Eternal that will permanently stop the maturation of the consumer's body. It is the fruit of the World Tree, which was located in the Elven Country.
The World Tree only bears the Eternal Apple once every century. So it is impossible to request one from the elves. And if you want to take it forcefully, you have to deal with the powerful High Elf knights first before even reaching the World Tree's sanctuary.
The last resort was to convert yourself into a vampire. But the consequences were great and not that good. You must first find a True Vampire who will make you their kin by turning you into a Lesser Vampire.
Lesser Vampires are the weakest vampires and have many weaknesses and needs for survival. Their skin burned when exposed to sunlight and when they touched silver materials. They need to drink blood just to survive, but they still eat human foods. And their lifespan was not as difficult as that of normal humans. That's why they need to level up until they reach Level 300 just to evolve into a Greater Vampire.
Greater Vampires have a longer lifespan than normal humans, and they can live for a few centuries. They can stand under the sunlight for hours and reduce the damage taken from silver. They drink less blood and only consume it like wine.
These were the ways of making Mary have an eternal life. Well, there was a Dark Magic spell that could transform you into an undead, but it required life sacrifices. We cannot commit such a crime just to eternalize our servant. And sister do not want Mary to have a rotten body.
"Then I'll tell you one of my secrets. I have a Unique Skill called Bestow which allows me to bestow one of my skills on an object or a person."
"Did you hide that skill all along?"
"No, I just recently acquired it. It's the combination of the Item Enchant, Weapon Enchantment and Enchant Skill."
"Then how in the world did you combine those skills?"
"Guh!"
Her words hit me like a bullseye. I didn't think of the words that I would say. I forgot that combining skills was a phenomenal feat. Even Mom, holding the title of the Sage, didn't have this skill.
"Tell me, Raphael."
"Well… I have another Unique Skill called Skill Synthesis. It allows me to synthesize compatible skills to make an improved one."
Sister ordered me to spill the truth. Her intense glare combined with Intimidation made my mouth move, and I told her the truth.
"You said 'one of my secrets' just now. Won't you please tell me some of it?"
She smiled like an innocent, curious child as she said that. But from my perspective, I feel like a cornered rat begging for mercy. And this is how my give-and-take conversation turned into my interrogation.
