บท 135: Chapter 135: *Spoiler Title*
For Nate, mastering magic was something he could do instantly. However, even under his personal guidance, it took Cana an entire afternoon just to grasp the basics.
By this time, the sky had turned a warm hue of dusk.
Cana cast her magic, sealing a wooden post inside a card. She squealed with excitement immediately.
"This is awesome! I finally did it!"
Nate breathed a sigh of relief. "From here on out, you'll just need to practice more. I've taught you all the key points."
As he stood up, ready to leave, Cana leaned in, bending her left leg back and lifting herself up on tiptoe to plant a loud kiss on Nate's cheek.
"Mua~ Thank you, Nate~"
Afterward, she threw him a flirtatious wink and added, "Whenever you want to go on a date, just let me know~"
Nate watched her skip away, unable to suppress a sarcastic thought: 'Am I the one flirting around? No, clearly, it's just that when flowers bloom, butterflies come on their own.'
Still, he didn't have the energy for a date with Cana right now. There were more pressing tasks, like completing his internet development work.
Back at his apartment, which cost him 70,000 J per month, Nate remembered there was something he had yet to give to Lucy. So, he headed next door.
Using his Six Eyes ability, he saw that Lucy wasn't inside.
"Not home? Out shopping for groceries?"
He tried the door handle, but it was locked. With a quick thought, Nate teleported inside.
Lucy's apartment had a layout nearly identical to his, except for one clear distinction: it was undeniably a girl's room.
Without hesitation, Nate made himself some tea, sat down, and started writing code while waiting for Lucy to come home and cook dinner.
A short while later, a notification for a private message popped up.
Witch of Pain: "Sweetheart, your sister has run into a little trouble."
Witch of Pain: "Couch girl.jpg"
As always, messages from Ultear were accompanied by a picture.
Nate opened the image and, instead of seeing Ultear, there was a girl wearing headphones with wing-like attachments. Nate recognized her instantly. Though she was still a small loli now, in seven years, she would grow into an impressive woman.
Sigma Male: "Cute."
Witch of Pain: "She's one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory from Grimoire Heart, Meredy. White-eye emoji."
Sigma Male: "What's going on?"
Witch of Pain: "When I brainwashed Jellal as a child, my real goal wasn't the R-System. That was just a distraction for the Magic Council."
Witch of Pain: "The Council was supposed to use Etherion to destroy the Tower of Heaven, and during the chaos, I'd grab one of the three keys needed to unlock Zeref's seal."
Witch of Pain: "The key to awakening Zeref's true power!"
This was Ultear's original mission and objective.
By obtaining the three keys, she could unleash Zeref's full strength and create a world dominated by magic—a world where her magic, the Arc of Time, would be immensely powerful.
With that magic, she could reverse time, going back to when she and her mother had a loving relationship.
Witch of Pain: "Of course, I don't need that anymore. Your sister has no interest in the keys now."
Sigma Male: "That's good. Those keys only lead to Zeref losing his sense of the value of life, which would bring about destruction."
Witch of Pain: "Tilted-head emoji?"
Sigma Male: "Basically, a black dragon will show up."
Witch of Pain: "A black dragon!?"
Witch of Pain: "Anyway, while I don't care about the keys anymore, Hades has already sent people to find me."
Nate understood what her "trouble" was.
Sigma Male: "Why not just quit Grimoire Heart?"
Witch of Pain: "That's exactly what I'm thinking!"
Witch of Pain: "I'll resign from the Council too, and then I'll come find you. Shy-face emoji."
Witch of Pain: "Bathroom selfie.jpg"
Nate clicked on the image, finding a fully nude Ultear posing seductively in front of the bathroom mirror, deliberately flaunting her beauty.
This wicked witch, trying to tempt him again at night! Who could possibly resist this?
Nate closed the private chat immediately and activated his Flying Thunder God time-space magic.
A golden magic circle appeared beneath his feet, and in the next instant, he vanished from Lucy's apartment.
...
At Ultear's mansion, in the bathroom.
Ultear stood in front of the full-length mirror, taking more bold and intimate photos.
"Hmph, not coming to see your sister? I'll just make you crave me! Let's see how you sleep tonight!" she smirked to herself.
Suddenly, in a flash of gold, Nate appeared in the mirror's reflection. Simultaneously, two arms wrapped around her from behind.
"Ah!?"
Ultear gasped in surprise, her face turning a deep shade of red.
"Not happy to see me?" Nate teased.
Her heart raced, like a deer caught off guard. 'He actually came!' She was both thrilled and embarrassed. 'You scared me, little brother!'
Just then, a voice called out from the living room with concern.
"Ultear! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine! Don't come in!" Ultear quickly shouted back, turning to glare at Nate.
"There's someone here," she whispered angrily.
'Someone being here doesn't mean I can't do what I want, does it?' Nate thought, amused, as he picked her up and pressed her against the tiled wall.
Being his girlfriend, Ultear knew exactly what Nate had in mind, and immediately, she shyly tapped his shoulder in protest.
"No, stop! Sister was wrong~"
...
In the living room, Meredy sat on the couch, sipping coffee and playing a Magic Net game, [Mahjong].
From time to time, stifled sounds echoed from the bathroom, causing her to frown slightly.
"Ultear? Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm fine… just twisted my ankle!"
"Do you need help?"
"No, I'm good!"
Unaware of the truth, the 13-year-old Meredy remained clueless and continued playing her game.
Her opponent's username was "Like an Angel."
'Ugh, this person has the luck of the gods! They've won seven times in a row!'
As she became absorbed in the game, she lost track of time.
Eventually, Ultear emerged from the bathroom, her face flushed. She wore a white towel wrapped around her body, and her hair was pinned up neatly.
She sat across from Meredy and drank a glass of water to moisten her throat.
"Ah, lost again," Meredy muttered in frustration, staring at her account's balance of zero coins. She glanced up and noticed Ultear was out of the bath.
"Ultear, I'm going to take a bath now."
"Wait."
Ultear stopped her just as Meredy stood up. "About the key…"
Meredy obediently sat back down to listen.
"I'm quitting. I'm leaving Grimoire Heart. Do you want to come with me?"
Meredy sat there in stunned silence.
