The Extra's Indifference

I felt Aria's hand on my cheek and for some reason, she began to caress my cheek.

'What the fuck is she doing? I said to her to act like concerned while giving hints to Alicia to how I must have cared for her whole night. I didn't say her to act like a concerned lover.'

'Aria is marking me as hers, like a cat as she is. It seems I have to give her punishment after this is over.'

"Master wake up." Aria said quietly and nudged me.

'I will go with the flow for now.'

When Aria called me, I slowly opened my eyes as if I had been woken up by Aria.

"Good morning Aria..." I muttered and pulled Aria into my lap, as I was sleeping in sitting position.

Aria fell to my lap but she didn't have any drastic reaction, as she got used to sitting on my lap.

"Why did you wake me up this early?" I muttered and buried my face in her belly.

"It is 8 a.m, master." Aria said.

"Is that so?" I murmured to her belly.

"Can you stop it, master, there is still a guest that you have to greet." Aria said and quickly got up from my lap.

'It seems I tickled her.'

"Mhmm..." I mumbled and looked at Alicia.

Alica was looking at us and her lips were twitching. She was probably holding her facial expression in check.

'She is probably jealous or annoyed, I think it is the mix of both.'

"Good morning Alicia. Did you sleep well?" I asked with a sleepy voice.

Alicia turned to me and flashed a smile.

"Yes, I did. Thank you for your help and I am sorry for the inconvenience."

I went to Alicia's side and patted her head roughly.

"It wasn't that inconvenient. I am rather glad that you came to me and I have been able to help you, humans can go mad from being sleepless, you know." I said with a sleepy voice and smiled slightly.

After taking hit from my smile and my morning voice, Alicia lowered her face with a slight blush and quietly said:

"Thanks..."

I leaned toward her and put my forehead on her shoulder.

"Don't be shy... I just helped you, nothing drastic. There is no need to be stiff about it." I murmured and let out a breath to her neck with a natural movement.

"Hyaa!?" Alicia was startled and with a quick move, she slapped her mouth to block the embarrassing voice that came out.

I lifted my face as if I didn't do anything and looked at Alicia.

"Did something happen?" I asked with confusion.

"No." Alicia shook her head quickly. "Nothing happened."

"That is good."

"Master you have to come yourself. " Aria said and abruptly pulled me to the bathroom.

Aria splashed water on my face to make me 'come to myself'.

After that I wiped the water on my face with a towel and looked at Alicia, who was watching us.

"I am sorry for my earlier actions, my head was messed up." I said to Alicia with a completely awake tone.

Alicia's lips stretched towards her ears and spoke with an energetic tone.

"It is nothing important and I am happy to see your new side."

I wore a thinking expression and said with a slight smile.

"Is that so? It is okay I think."

I turned towards Aria.

"Aria, you said it is 8 a.m right?" I asked.

"Yes master." Aria answered.

"Then is breakfast ready?"

"Yes."

"Can you put 1 more plate? Alicia will eat with us." I asked with a polite smile.

"Yes master." Aria said and went to the kitchen.

I looked at Alicia.

"I forgot to ask your opinion. Would you mind eating with us?" I asked.

Alicia looked at me with a troubled expression.

"I don't mind it, but I don't want to cause more inconvenience to you." Alicia said timidly.

'Why did she become shy?' I thought but didn't think about it too much.

After that, we sat on the dinner table and quietly ate our food.

While I was eating my food, I spotted a butterfly made of blood and ice.

'Hmmm Ilelia came back at 8.30 a.m. Is there a limitation on her as a divine being or does she just come at this time randomly?'

After eating our food, we began to walk to our class.

While we were walking, I heard something that will make my plans harder. Normally I don't even listen to someone's talk if I don't know them but I heard a particular name.

"Hey! Did you hear that creepy Flora was found bloodied in her room last night?"

"So what? We are in the academy she can't die in here."

"I know that too, idiot. From what I heard, professors healed her for hours but she didn't wake up even after all of the efforts of professors. Even the headmaster couldn't do anything to wake her up."

'That is pretty bad news. Lifting my curse would be harder if she is dead.' I thought and noticed the fact that, Ilelia's butterfly was watching me.

​ 'Probably she knows that I heard the news, she's a goddess, after all, she must know my physical capabilities. Should I let out a tear in my eyes? I don't want Ilelia to think of me as a cold hearted bastard, it would be harder to make her trust me.'

While we were walking a small tear dropped from my cold face but I wiped the tear with a quick movement before anyone see it.

"Are you okay? Your eyes have become moist." Alicia said with a worried tone.

"It is nothing important. I got dust in my eyes." I said with a little bit sad tone.

A normal person can't sense this sadness in my voice but a goddess can sense it pretty easily.

After that, we entered our class and saw a professor, who isn't our lecturer.

Professor turned to me and said with a direct tone:

"Are you Kayle Ceurie?"

'I think I got into trouble again.' I thought and answered coldly:

"Yes."

"Come with me, we are going to the headmaster's room."
