Bab 7: Chapter 3 ~Make it obvious~
Everyone opened their eyes. The place they landed had a familiar view.
It's Zecora's room.
The room was filled with silence. The only sound that could be heard was Zecora's steps when he walked towards his bed and sat down, placing his coat on the bed calmly.
The three people were standing in front of him while he freed them from his chains.
"Zecora, we can explain! You don't-"
"Shut it!" Zecora cut her off in the middle. Again, the silence fell. Lea didn't say anything because she knew how angry he could become.
He is scary.
Zecora ruffled his hair in irritation at the situation and frowned.
"Dammit!" He growled and inhaled some air. "I'm sorry, Lea. I didn't want to show this vulgar side of mine, especially to you."
"U-Uh! N-No problem. I can understand. Haha."
"My mind is a mess right now. Please answer my questions without telling lies."
"I know that it is blood, but is it yours?" He asked while pointing at her top.
"It is."
His face frowned, but he continued. "How? I don't see any injuries."
"I coughed up blood and collapsed."
Zecora flinched, and his eyes widened. The only thing he could think of right now was that something is wrong with his precious wildcat's body. His hands trembled. He didn't know that he could also tremble in fear.
And then he rashly stood up, lifted Lea, and laid her on the bed.
"I'm sorry I chained you. Are you feeling any pain? The wound inside must be tormenting because you coughed up blood." Zecora said it bitterly. He squeezed Lea's hand. She told him that everything was fine, but he didn't listen to her and questioned Rae.
"So, is everything alright, Rae?" He asked while sitting beside Lea.
"She lost a lot of blood, but she said that she is feeling more powerful than weak," Rae answered. "But a major problem has occurred."
"Firstly, I should tell you that this little girl beside me is Lea's child. You can see some similarities between them too."
Zecora's face went dark.
The questions that arose in his mind- What? With whom? Inside the gate? How?
Lea coughed from the surprise. She wondered, how the heck did she not know that she had a child!?
Rae cracked into a laugh.
"Bro, I was kiddin-"
"The freaking hell! You cockroach!" Zecora threw a pillow at her face. "Is this the time to be fooling around!?"
"Alright, alright. She is Lea's newly acquired humanoid skill, Author. And we still don't know the cause of why Lea coughed up so much blood." Rae said while sitting on the sofa. Lea sat up.
"Well, the major problem isn't the skill but what came to Lea after that." Rae gestured at Lea.
"Zecora, take a look at this."
Lea opened her status window. Because of Author's heavenly rank, Lea's window became golden, but something else also changed.
Moments later, the only words that left Zecora's mouth were, "Wildcat... What the hell is this?"

It will come back, but we can't guarantee it. Because her power is still somewhere alive, her skills didn't downgrade like her rank.
_________________________________
Her rank changed from A to B. How can this happen?
Zecora looked less shocked than what the females inside the room imagined him to be. He glanced at Lea, who was awkwardly laughing.
Now, this is a bit of a difficult problem, he thought. He was already thinking of making her join his guild because her rank was measured as A first. But what now? She is pretty useless now in his eyes. Such dilemma.
Lea looked at Zecora, who was thinking so seriously.
She, on the contrary, thought that Zecora was very worried bout her.
"I'll be fine if I train more. You don't need to burden yourself with this." Zecora looked at her. "There's another thing we want to tell you."
Lea and Rae explained everything that happened inside the gate and about Author. Zecora listened to them carefully and asked some questions, which were answered without any lies.
"Look at Author's Status Window." Lea showed him everything like an open book.

____________________________
The skill is not of heavenly rank just by name. Her mana level is super high, and those titles seemed quite charming to Zecora. Lea was still somewhat useful to him.
"I get it, so get some rest, you all. After that, change your clothes. We'll be having dinner at my guild's cafeteria."
Zecora left. Rae waved at Lea and then left.
"I know that I should change, but into what? From left to right, this place smells of Zecora."
"That's because it's his room." Author said.
"Ah! What should I wear? Everything in this wardrobe is Zecora's clothes."
"I said that's because it's his room, idiot!"
"Just shut up! Ooh~ Should I wear his scent or his clothes~ OhLalalalala~" Lea went inside the bathroom, singing and dancing.
"What should I do with this creature!? What a load of burden!" Author cringed.
Author looked into Lea's memories. According to her, Leaena's friends and family are good, though she does have a brother's complex and her brother also seems to have a sister's complex.
"What a tangled family! These two siblings (Zecora and Rae) also seem to be obsessed with Lea, like, come on, find yourself a better girl than Lea! Ew, my body is feeling weird after she coughed up that much blood. And that information on her window... I hope my suspicions are not right. If they are, then she is definitely in danger." She murmured.
After a while, everyone gathered in the hall. The one who stood out more was Lea, as she was wearing Zecora's white shirt and black pants.
"Zecora, you creep!" Rae murmured, and he just chuckled.
All of them arrived at the Gemini Guild, and of course, they were murmuring about Lea's relationship with Zecora as she was wearing his clothes. Most of the dressed-up female hunters threw daggers from their glares, but Lea can't be bothered because all that matters to her now is that she smells like Zecora. She doesn't even know that she's making those ladies jealous.
"Hehe!" Lea giggled.
"I ordered everything, so just wait a little bit." Zecora smiled.
Rae witnessed both of them smiling at each other. She was angry that her bastard brother just wanted to show Lea off to everyone like she was his accessory.
The food arrived, and Rae gobbled it up angrily. Soon, she swooned at the tasty Kheer she ate. The Paneer curry and the Chicken curry that Zecora ordered were utterly delicious. They finished their dinner earlier than expected. After that, Rae went to Zecora's office, saying that she left something there.
It will take a while until she comes back because his office is on the top floor. So they will be alone for the time being. His fragrance all over Leaena was still clearly noticeable, and she getting nervous just from that. Lea looked around to distract herself, but she only saw women glaring at her.
"Pft!" She laughed mockingly and positioned herself more confidently like she was telling them that they were below her. She distracted herself quite a bit.
Zecora seemed to enjoy this. It was funny and entertaining for him. Suddenly his eyes halted.
"Oh?"
Zecora stood up from his chair, bent down, and touched Lea's cheeks. She was startled and came back to reality.
"There's a drop of milk from the kheer." He wiped it with his finger and then licked it. He stood up and placed his hands on Lea's shoulder, leaned in, and then whispered in her ear, "Make it more obvious, you slut."
He told his heart and mind, 'She is mine. Both physically and mentally.' every time he saw her.
Lea shuddered, and her lips trembled (don't know if from or anger excitement). But she answered, placing her hand on his neck and pulling him till they felt each other's breaths, "Make it more fucking obvious, you sexy demon."
Zecora was taken aback but still smirked, literally like a lustful demon. He loosened his tie and ruffled his hair. He was sweating hard, even though the AC was on.
Let's sneak peek inside his mind again-
'Ah... What should I do? She looks more lewd wearing my dress. Her face? Now, there's no way I would let anyone see her blushing face. No way in hell. Fuck, I should probably head to the restroom.'
He left a piece of paper and went to the restroom without saying anything. Rae came back after Lea hurriedly calmed herself down.
"What's with those ugly creatures? Why are they staring at us? Did something happen?"
"Nope. Absolutely nothing." Lea said as she picked up the piece of paper. It said, 'Tomorrow morning, at 4 a.m.'
"Oh?" Rae looked at Lea and then burned the paper with her magic. "So after so many weeks, it's tomorrow, huh?"
"Yeah. I'll head back first. It's getting late. Tell Zecora that I will return his clothes after washing them."
"Ok, bye. And please be careful on your way." Rae said. "As they were worn by you, that guy would probably want them back as soon as possible." She muttered.
"What? Did you say something?"
"Oh, nothing. Get going."
Lea giggled at the ladies as she walked past them. Outside the guild, a car was waiting for her. Zecora's matte black Lamborghini Aventador.
"This car suits his hair colour." Lea smiled.
Zecora came back from the restroom.
Coming back from the restroom took quite a while, Zecora. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
"Where's Lea?"
"She went back because it was getting late," Rae said while licking the ice cream. "Stop playing tricks. You wanna mark your territory or something? Covering her from all your scent," she said while glaring.
"Looks like I was found out." He laughed between his fingers. "By the way, I wanted to tell you something about Lea that is only known to me and her family." He smirked. Rae flinched but still maintained her posture.
"Do you know what I accidentally left inside your office? It was my calendar." Rae showed him a calendar that had circles around some dates.
"What is it?" He asked while twitching his eyebrows.
"A secret between Lea and me. No, her family knows about this too." She smirked.
Both of them looked at each other. After giving it some thought, they both decided to share the secrets about Lea with each other.
If it's about her, these siblings want to know everything.
Then they bowed and shook hands.
"Okay, so let's trade the secrets."
~~
"I'm home!" Lea was cheerful, but the environment wasn't so good.
~ To be continued.
