"Why did you come?" Mareona asked.
She wiggled in hesitation. "I actually like Aldred."
"Really?"
She nodded slowly, still looking down, feeling shy.
Mary gently smiled and approached her. "Well, since you like Aldred, and he accepted you, then we have no reason to say no. As a family, it's our job to make everyone feel at home."
Sophia nodded rigorously. "I will surely make you feel at home."
Mary, Mira, Mareona, Sophia, Ivette, Stella, and Zafrina all looked at her with warmth.
"But, Aldred will be having an adventure to obtain a powerful treasure," Mary said. "Are you sure you're willing to leave paphia, and join Aldred in his journey?"
"I have nobody in this place. I am all alone. I have been wanting to leave and find an adventure for myself, but I hesitated for a long time. Last night with Aldred was my breaking point. I have decided to come with him and follow wherever he goes."
"Wait, last night?" Mareona asked. "You've already done it?"
"Yep," Aldred said.
Mary bitterly smiled before shrugging. "Since Rachel doesn't have any problem with that, I don't think it's worth mentioning."
"Right…" Mareona sighed. "Let me welcome you to the family."
"Thank you."
After chatting for a while, Mareona pouted and looked at Aldred.
"What?"
She then pounced on him, and pin him on the bed. "Let me have fun as well."
Aldred smiled and they all made love under the witness of the morning sun.
After their love session, Aldred and the 9 girls went to the balcony where the waitress flew to the sky with their wings and served them their food and drinks.
This was one of the unique experiences in this inn. He could watch angel-like beauties flying around, serving him food, while enjoying the forest themed city.
Back on earth, no matter how rich he became, he could never experience something like this.
Rachel sat on Aldred's lap as they all ate. Because Rachel was the new girl, she got the privilege of sitting on his lap.
At least that was what the girls had decided without his involvement. He felt sad that he couldn't love them all at the same time.
But if he could upgrade his clone ability, he could make more clones and love all his women at the same time. Hopefully, he could do that in the near future.
As they ate and talked, Rachel felt jealous of everyone there.
"All of you are amazing. Mary and Mareona are independent fighters. Mira you are a powerful nun that can heal. Stella and Sophia, both of you are powerful magicians, and Zafrina, you are a hero candidate. And Zafrina is the daughter of a powerful Count."
"I am just a normal city girl. I am nothing special compared to you guys."
"Anyone can be special if they try," Aldred said. "For me, you are already special, but if you want to be more than that, I can help you."
"We all can help you."
"But I can only manipulate light. It's one of the rare elements, but that also means no one can teach me and the skill book is very expensive. All I can do is this."
She raised her hand and an orb of light appeared on her palm.
Aldred activated his godly eyes, and inserted some of his mana inside the orb of light.
"Rachel, watch closely to what I do."
His serious tone caught her off guard, but she immediately nodded and stared at the spell. The construction of her magic was changed from within. What at first was a simple orb of light, was now completely something else, and yet the appearance was still the same.
"Stella, can you cast a protection field so nothing would be destroyed."
"Destroyed?" Rachel asked.
"You'll know."
Stella waved her hand, and star particles enveloped the whole room and even went beyond the balcony.
Aldred summoned a Bajaragon in the distance.
"Rachel, try hitting that dragon."
"But this orb is slow."
"Just try it."
Rachel nodded and threw the light orb at the dragon. She expected the orb of light to float in the air, but instead, it shot forward like an enhanced arrow. And when the orb touched the dragon, it exploded with a rapidly expanding light.
Rachel widened her eyes. "Is that?"
"Yes. That is the possibility of your power. You can become even stronger later on."
"How did you do this? Did you also master the light element?"
"Nope. I simply changed the construction of your spell."
"That still doesn't explain how you can change it so masterfully."
"You don't need to think about it, Rachel," Mary said. "Aldred is a genius. Trying to fathom his ability is not a wise decision. Have you ever seen someone who can summon undead, be a swordsman, and master magic at the same time?"
"You're right…"
Aldred smiled and pulled a small staff with a tinge of gold color. He handed it to Rachel.
"Take this staff. I found it laying on the street and it can help you with your light element."
Mary and the others shook their heads with a smile when they heard that. They all knew that Aldred got that from the wealthy people on Mount Fargon.
"Can I really take this? It must be expensive."
"Yes, you can."
"But, it must be very valuable."
Aldred sighed and grabbed her hand before moving her fingers to grab the staff. "Don't be shy. Look at Ivette. She's never shy from asking me something."
They all looked at Ivette who was currently stuffing her mouth with food.
She stopped herself, and started eating elegantly.
"Anyway, try to create a beam of light using this staff."
"Alright." She grabbed the staff tight, and focused her head in trying to summon a beam of light.
The staff had two blue cores that were placed on both ends. But she didn't know how to use an intricate staff like this, so she clumsily pointed forward and created a small beam of light that only reached 12 CM.
"That thing is smaller than my dick."
