Lux looked at the gates of the academy with a determined gaze.
Aurora was by his side, holding his hand firmly, preventing him from escaping.
"Let's go," Aurora said as she led the way, pulling the Half-Elf, who was still preparing his heart for the second time on that day.
After entering the academy, they walked the familiar path that led inside.
There were some students loitering in the halls. They gave the Half-Elf a curious stare and wondered why he was with Aurora.
The Half-Succubus was already well-known to everyone because of her incredible beauty… as well as her incredible bad luck.
Just as they were headed towards the Headmaster's Office, they saw a Boar walking in their direction with a smug smile on her face.
"Aurora!" Cai called out as she happily walked in their direction. "Um? Who is this guy? Is he perhaps your boyfriend? The one that you've been calling Tux?"
"It's Lux, Cai," Aurora corrected.
"Yes, that's what I said, Tux," Cai blinked in confusion.
The Boar then moved closer to give the Half-Elf a better look.
"He is indeed quite handsome," Cai stated. "Now I understand why you fell in love with him, Aurora. But, can he be really trusted? The way he look at me makes me feel that he has a thing for Bestiality. He might be a pervert, you know?"
Lux was doing his best to hold himself back from hugging Cai, and slapping her bum for calling him a pervert.
The Half-Elf wasn't a fan of bestiality, but if it would make the High-Priestess remember him then he was willing to do it.
However, he knew that doing that would be useless, so he remained silent and looked at the Boar, whom he found annoying in the past.
Cai and him had met at the Tournament in Barbatos Academy.
She had joined in order to save Iris from being married off to a person that she didn't like.
The High-Priestess was a gentle soul, and yet when it came to things that were important to her, she was willing to fight for it.
This was probably one of the reasons why Lux fell in love with her, aside from her beauty and unconditional support, which he could count on whenever he needed it.
"By the way, since you are headed this way, are you perhaps looking for the Headmaster?" Cai inquired.
Aurora nodded. "Yes. We are looking for him."
"Good timing then. He is currently in Iris' residence. My Grandfather is there as well," Cai stated. "I was planning to go there, so why don't the three of us go together?"
"Sounds good," Aurora replied.
The three walked side by side, with Lux in the middle. He noticed that from time to time, the Boar would sneak glances on his face.
"Um, would you like to join the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?" Cai inquired after being caught by the Half-Elf. "The application was closed years ago, but I am willing to make an exception for you."
"League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?" Lux asked with a smile. "Doesn't your sister already have a lover? Why are you looking for people again?"
"You know my sister?" Cai blinked. "You also know about the purpose of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?"
"Aurora mentioned it to me," Lux replied in a heartbeat. "She's told me a lot of things about her sisters."
"Oh! So that's it, phew!" Cai nodded her head in understanding. "Well, it is true that my sister already has a lover. But, that doesn't mean that you can't join it. Are you perhaps a swordsman? I have plenty of swords in my collection. If you join, I'll give you three legendary swords like Excalibur, Balmung, Durandal, Caladbolg, and many more."
Lux couldn't help but smile because Cai had offered the same thing to Keane back then.
In order to live his peaceful life, the Swordsman agreed, but he didn't take any of the swords that Cai had mentioned.
Feeling that he wouldn't lose anything by teasing the boar, the Half-Elf stopped walking and used his free hand to hold the side of the boar's face.
"Do you perhaps like me?" Lux asked. "Aurora is a very understanding lady. If you like, the two of you can share me if you want. So, how about it?"
"A-Aurora, is this guy sane in the head?" Cai took several steps back. "Although I admit that he is handsome, and is totally my type, isn't he a bit too loose? Are you fine with having this kind of guy as your boyfriend?"
"Yes," Aurora replied in a heartbeat. "So, how about it, Cai? I'm willing to share my boyfriend with you."
The Boar hesitated for a bit before stomping her foot down.
"I see, both of you are just teasing me huh?" Cai snorted. "Hmph! You've become bold, Aurora. It seems that returning to your family has made you naughty. I'll go tell Iris about this later. As for you…"
Cai walked towards Lux and circled his body twice. She even used her hoof to lightly pat Lux's backside, as if testing if it was good or not.
The Half-Elf was very tempted to return the favor because, just as always, his fiance's IQ had decreased a lot because she was in her Boar Form.
"I guess I can consider your proposal, Aurora," Cai stated. "But, I'll only give my answer once I get to know him better. Now, let's go. Iris is waiting for us."
The Boar walked away without even bothering to wait for the two people behind her.
Lux was quite surprised because he didn't expect Cai would treat his joke seriously.
"Although their minds can't remember you, their hearts and bodies can," Aurora whispered. "I have been monitoring Cai, and her heart beats very fast whenever she looks at you."
Lux looked at the young lady beside him with a surprised look on his face.
"Really?" Lux asked.
"Yes," Aurora replied. "Even now, Cai walked away in order to escape because she can't understand why she finds you very attractive. If I was not here, she might have pinned you down, you know?"
The Half-Succubus giggled because she was telling the truth. She also didn't expect Cai would react that way to Lux, making her feel that her hypothesis was correct.
If only their memories were sealed, and their hearts and bodies still remembered him, they might actually fall in love with Lux all over again, despite "seeing him" for the first time in their life.
"Right now, I think Cai experienced what they call, Love at first sight," Aurora smiled as she gave Lux's hand a gentle squeeze. "You said that you met Iris earlier, right? I wonder if she felt the same."
Lux couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat after Aurora's revelation.
Her words made him remember a famous saying back on Earth.
"The mind forgets, but the heart will always remember. And what is the heart's memory but love itself?"
The Half-Elf didn't know if this was true or not. But, if it was true then he might be able to have a close relationship with them again, while looking for the Pillars of Eternity, which might help them remember him faster.
