After assigning the rooms, I took Eris to the room I was staying in. She seemed a bit sullen. Looking at her face, I didn't say any comforting words.
I lifted her face and then kissed those delicate lips.
She pushed me away. "Pfft, pfft! Don't kiss me with the mouth you just used on another woman."
"Eris, have you forgotten your grandfather's words? You are the person I swore to protect for a lifetime. Although I won't have only one woman by my side in the future, you were the first to form a contract with me. I will keep the promise I made to your grandfather that day—to protect you for the rest of your life."
Under the barrage of sweet words, I moved close to her again, lifted her face just like before, and kissed her deeply. As if competing, this time she didn't refuse me. Instead, she kissed back more fiercely than Doris had.
Calling it a kiss might be a bit of a problem, because it wasn't a kiss at all—it was more like she was sucking on my lips. She seemed to be putting all her strength into trying to turn my mouth into a fat sausage. Slapping her back had no effect. Finally, only by pinching her buttocks did I stop her vacuum cleaner act.
"Eris, do you know how to kiss?"
While speaking, I cast a basic Healing spell on my mouth.
Eris said disdainfully, "What's so hard about that? I just watched. Isn't it just sucking on your lips?"
Sigh. I facepalmed. Aunt Hilda, is this how you taught your daughter? I really should have Eris learn more from Aunt Hilda about how to be more feminine.
"Lie down on the bed. I'll teach you. Don't make any other moves. Open your teeth. I'll take the initiative and let you enjoy it this time."
Then came a standard French kiss. To make her lose herself, my hand unconsciously slipped under her inner garment, giving it a good kneading. The young girl quickly succumbed.
"Hmph, understand what a kiss is now? If not, it's fine. I'll teach you more in the future."
Eris's face flushed completely red. She covered her eyes with her arm, not daring to look at me.
I didn't linger in the room too long. This couldn't be rushed; her parents were still in the living room.
After having breakfast together, I asked Doris about the happenings at Ranoa Magic University over the past few years.
"At Ranoa Magic University, there haven't been many major events in recent years. The main ones are two things:
Princess Arielcame to the academy to study over a year ago and, with the help of her guards, easily became the student council president. Two beast-race women arrived in the special class around the same time as Eris. They ran rampant in the school, gathered many beast-race followers, and bullied many classmates. But they were ultimately defeated by Ariel's guard and are now lying low in the special class.
Master, the 'person you definitely know but wouldn't expect to come study at Ranoa Magic University' you mentioned before... that refers to Lady Ariel, right?"
"Mhm, yes, I meant her. So, did you manage to get in touch with her?"
"Yes, Master. After I made contact, she was very surprised I was studying here. After all, the last time I saw her was when I was four. But later, when I gave her my full name, she suddenly seemed to understand the reason. I haven't joined their student council, but she still often sends people to ask me about your recent situation."
"Alright, that's fine. You have classes today, right? Take me to the school to find her. Uncle Philip, please wait a moment. I'll go communicate with Ariel first. Tomorrow, I'll take you to visit her then. How does that sound?"
"No problem, I'm in no hurry. There's not much I can do right now anyway. One more day or one less day won't make much difference."
"Good, then we'll set off in a bit."
Eris's face was still a bit red. She glanced at me, then looked away in another direction.
"Eris, your goal now is to improve your strength and protect our home. So when I go out, guarding this home will be up to you."
"Hmph, you're really something. Fine, I'll take charge of guarding our home then!"
So easy to handle!
After Doris finished cleaning up the dishes, she and I headed to Ranoa Magic University.
