After the harmonious dinner, Alex was invited by his mother-in-law to the garden while Kuina decided to clean the dishes in their absence.
A luxurious plot of grass is enclosed by numerous hedges and shrubs. A fountain stands to the right of the garden, offering a calming element to an already calm garden. The rows of flowers are growing without boundaries, there's not even a single weed in sight; they're like a cloud of color. The hedges and shrubs reach 1.2m/4ft high, but this happens only when well cared for.
Various stepping stones mark the best spots, guiding visitors around the garden, and showing them all it has to offer. Grass and plants have already begun to crawl their way over and around the garden, eager to claim all pieces of land.
The fountain eternally beckons all visitors, drawing all attention toward it. The rows of flowers try to claim their share of the glory, and the hedges and shrubs are surely a sight to behold, but the eye will just be naturally drawn to the fountain.
The two sat around this fountain while Kuina's mother served them tea and while he was enjoying his tea waiting for her to tell him why she did all those things, she finally spoke, she began with a question.
''You know that soon we will be taking part in a fight that will decide our fate right?"
''Of course, I do.'' Alex nodded, he understood that she must be referring to the incoming clash against the force of the chaos realm, the fight against Bahamut, and to tell the truth, he was pretty scared even with his terrific pace of leveling up he was still scared, there were many reasons for this, the first one being that he knew he was not stronger as the enemy, the second reason is the enemy unknown strength, even after what he did to them there showed no sign of retaliation, either because they didn't care as the death of two powerful pawns doesn't affect them or simply because they're busy preparing something big. Either way, he must prepare, they must prepare and to do this he must use some extreme methods, it was why he chose to go on a mission with Incursio, a manhunting mission. He had to think about many methods of helping him and others to quickly increase their level.
While Alex was lost in thought Kuina's mother observed him for a moment before saying.
''I see, you plan on ascending after the final battle right?"
Breaking free from his formulating thoughts, Alex stared at Kuina's mother, this question was a question he had expected, and while sipping his tea he answered.
''Yes! We will immediately depart after the final battle. Will you be following us?" He fired this question back.
She stayed silent but only for a split second before shaking her head.
''No thanks, my place it's here I just want you to forever look after my baby darling. Never let any harm befall her.''
''Don't worry, I promise you that I won't let anything happen to her. She is my precious gem after all.'' He promised.
''Fufufu! No wonder you managed to get so many girls to fall for you. You're quite good, I'm also falling for your tricks.''
Alex felt goosebumps all over his body upon hearing his mother-in-law joke, he imagined having an oyakodon with the mother and daughter pairs (A/N: A threesome of sorts.) and should have been the dream of most males turned into a nightmare because he was sure he couldn't handle them, his harem might not survive so he had better not entertain any thought.
Watching Alex's face going through a myriad of changes due to her joke brought immense joy to her. However, she was half joking, if not because she was tied down by many obligations and because her daughter was going to the Higher World, she would mind trying her chance with a good seedling like Alex. Beastsmen culture is more liberal than any other race culture, a mother and daughter sharing the same man would never be considered taboo if the man in question was worthy.
Shaking her head, Kuina's mother threw those nonsensical thoughts to the back of her head and said the following sentence.
''At least I want a child before you leave.''
Puff!
This sudden declaration like the last time caught him completely off guard and it took him some time to come up with an excuse.
''I understand your point but it should be something both your daughter and I will need to discuss to achieve consensus before having one. Don't worry, you will be a grandmother before you're even aware of it.''
Kuina's mother nodded after hearing Alex's answer not because she was a fool but because she had a certain feeling Alex was unaware of.
After a few minutes of idle chatting, Alex decided to leave but before he could leave he was stopped by her mother-in-law who warned him of something.
''That white-haired girl you have been keeping.'' She said.
''Yes, Incursio? What is it?" Alex questioned her and his mother-in-law added.
''A dog is better with a leach without one. Go on reflect on my words.''
Alex nodded before joining Kuina who had finished with her task, the two lovebirds were left alone and he could see that his lover wished to remain behind with her mother which he didn't mind.
''Okay-" He was about to say something but before he could, Kuina stopped him by taking full control of his lips after sealing them with her lips. She sent her tongue inside his mouth before entwining their tongues together and sucked Alex's tongue as hard as she could. It's not wrong to say that the girl found it delicious. Delicious enough to not let it end right away.
Not like he wanted it to end anyway, he reciprocated, and soon they were in the middle of a heated battle where his arms keep wandering all over her body.
Kuina also didn't stay idle. Not minding Alex's busy hands, she squeezed his cheeks in between her palms before capturing his lips for the third time, resuming the long, intimate kiss that got interrupted many when they needed to catch their breath.
With both their minds and bodies focused on each other, the thought that her mother was at home soon flew off their heads as they shamelessly caressed each other bodies without any regard for Kuina's mother who was still inside, fortunately, the thrill of having sex under the same rooftop as his mother in law didn't get over to his head thus he successfully stopped before things could escalate, after calming a Kuina in heat by making her reach a quick orgasm under his skillful fingers, Alex departed.
Alex walked back towards their house alone with his hands in his pockets, leisurely looking at the dark sky that was showering the first snow of the winter in the capital. He was trying not to think about what his mother-in-law had said during their chat in the garden.
On the road back to their house he suddenly received a call from someone unexpected.
[Yes! What is Incursio?] He asked after responding to her unexpected call.
[Nothing, serious I just want to have a chat with you. Where are you at the moment?] Incursio's voice rang out from the other side of the communication device.
[Going back alone. We can meet up in front of the avenue just before the house.] Alex proposed after a moment of consideration. Although he was unaware of what this little white devil wanted by saying she desired to have a chat with him, he could use this opportunity to finally think about how should he deal with her. She had been left alone, it was time to think of some proper measure to handle this ticking bomb.
[Good, let's meet up there and go eat as I'm hungry.] Incursio said before cutting off the conversation.
'Sigh! So, troublesome.' Alex said before going to the meeting place. mm
A few minutes later after meeting up with her, they moved in search of a restaurant to eat at and finally found one.
The restaurant Alex was an open lounge, and the place was nearly at full capacity for the evening.
Luckily, they managed to get themselves a prime table, which was in the corner above a short platform, providing them the full view of the hall, as well as the best view of the stage, where a grand piano was placed.
It was not an expensive place, but it was not cheap either, which meant that most people present inside the lounge either belonged to working Middle-Class people. Of course, there were some rich too, as well as some Civil Servants, who were enjoying a meal with their guests and colleagues.
Surprisingly, there was a good number of youngsters in the lounge, most likely the students of the Foxia magic academy, which was not far from this place.
Their group caught the attention of nearly everyone, and the reason was simply the devilish looks of Alex that hooked them all. Some youngsters were sneaking glances at the girl by his side too. The two didn't bother disguising themselves.
