Chapter 104 – Ais naked.
I reached the Loki Familia residence easily. For some reason, I knew where it was without asking anyone. I believe the ability "Vivid Memories" helped me with that.
I can locate things more easily now.
I wanted to use this ability to teleport inside the Loki Familia house, as I have many memories of the interiors. But unfortunately, it didn''t work when I tried.
I had to talk to a few people before I had the chance to meet Ais. A woman I didn''t remember said she would speak to her, but after a few minutes, Tiona showed up instead.
She came running towards me with a smile on her face. She seemed happy to see me.
That''s when I got a surprise.
<strong>[The ability "Charming Aura" has leveled up!]</strong>
My Charming Aura skill reached level 6! Instantly, I felt like something had changed between me and Tiona. She started clinging to me, hugging my arm.
Tiona insisted on taking me inside herself while hugging my arm.
"We''re almost there. But why are you looking for Ais?" I was carrying the box, but Tiona didn''t realize it was a gift.
"I want to talk to her about volume two."
"Wait a second, are you giving her the volume two?"
"..."
"You…" Tiona released my arm. "I want to read it too! Please!"
"You can ask Ais once she''s done reading it."
"Luan… Don''t you have two copies? I''ve been so eager to read it..." Tiona''s eyes filled with tears. "I''ll do anything!"
"Unfortunately not. But you can read it after Ais is finished."
"Ais takes forever to read!" Tiona stomped her foot in frustration. "Let me read it first! Then I''ll give her the present. Please?" Tiona''s eyes were brimming with tears, like the look of Puss in Boots.
But I didn''t cave.
"No, it''s a gift for Ais."
"You idiot! Don''t tell me you''ve fallen for her. You''re joking, right? Ais doesn''t like that kind of thing. You''re wasting your time!"
"Are you sure?"
"Ugh… No… But Ais has never shown signs of liking someone or wanting a rtionship! I''m sure she''s not into that kind of thing."
"I see. But I''m not in love with her, I just wanted to give a friend a gift. She was excited to read it, so I thought I should give it to her."
"But I also said I was excited to read it! Why didn''t you bring a copy for me too? You''re lying. You''re trying to win over Ais, aren''t you? Hehe. Fine, good luck with that."
Tiona pouted and walked ahead. I followed her to the door of a bedroom. I couldn''t believe she led me straight to Ais'' room. We had walked for a long time—it was arge house, though not bigger than the Ishtar Familia''s residence.
Tiona knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside.
"Who is it?"
"It''s me, Tiona. I brought a present."
"I''m busy, Tiona."
"It''s important!" Tiona turned the handle, and the door opened. And when it did, I was in for a pleasant surprise.
Ais was in the middle of the room, wearing only her underwear. She had just taken a shower and was in the process of getting dressed. Her wet hair clung to her soft skin.
She was wearing mature-looking white panties and no bra. Since she had her back to me, I couldn''t see her boobs—at least until she turned to look at Tiona.
She thought it was just Tiona, but I was right behind her.
I only saw her boobs for a moment before Ais quickly used her arm to cover herself.
Ais was speechless. The three of us stood frozen, not knowing how to deal with the situation.
Then, I noticed Ais'' cheeks turning red and turned my face away. I wanted to keep looking but pretended to be embarrassed as well.
Tiona finally did something.
"Ah, I''m so sorry!" Now embarrassed, she shut the door and turned to me, looking rmed. "You didn''t see anything, right? Ais is going to kill me!"
"I didn''t see anything, it''s fine. But you should have been more careful."
"Shut up! I didn''t know she was almost naked… It''s a good thing we didn''t get here earlier. She probably would have beenpletely naked… Why doesn''t she lock the door when she''s changing clothes? Ugh!!"
Tiona''s embarrassment seemed to get worse by the minute.
"I wouldn''t have minded."
"I didn''t know you were such a pervert. Let''s wait here until she finishes getting dressed."
Only two minutester, the door opened. Ais had a neutral expression, but her sharp eyes pierced Tiona. She wasn''t mad at me—just at her.
But soon, her eyesnded on me.
Her cheeks flushed, and she greeted me.
"Hello, Luan… I''m sorry about earlier."
"No, it''s fine."
"But why are you here? Did something happen? I didn''t expect to see you here."
"I came to bring you a gift." I showed the locked box to Ais. Judging by the shape, Ais already knew what it was, and her eyes lit up.
"Please,e in!" Ais said excitedly,pletely forgetting about what had happened earlier. "And you—we''ll talkter." Ais gave Tiona a cold look.
After we entered, she closed the door, leaving Tiona outside.
I guess she hadn''t forgotten what happened.
