TBATE Back to save you

Chapter 29: Changes

Aya was surrounded by people, man to be exact. They were all over her, hoping that they could be the lucky man to whom she will give the pleasure of sharing her mattress. But as she was on duty right now, Aya had to keep herself together. Well, even if that's the case, her biting her lip in excitement definitely didn't help

Next, I looked and made my way toward Alea. Who was just standing and talking with a... man. Don't get me wrong, I am not jealous, but that guy was clearly flirting with her, and by the expression she made, she didn't like it

' Use the destruction ' Regis said, his voice resembling the devil

' Papa don't! There are too many witnesses ' Sylvie reminded me, afraid that I might be caught this time, unlike back with Pier

' Master, I want to slice him! ' and yet another devil whispered

' Oh shut up! I am not some kind of animal you know?! '

'...'

'...'

'...'

' Why are you guys so silent!? ' I protested, but apparently, they didn't hear me

Deciding to ignore the three devils, I channeled the aether through my body and activated godstep, arriving just behind Alea and the pest

There was no purple lightning as I moved. I didn't spend the last year doing nothing. I finished conquering the Relictombs - even though I found out that one keystone is missing, and I even deepened my understanding of aether and my godrunes

Now I don't leave a lightning trace when I teleport, can summon up to three aether swords in the air, and can negate and manipulate my enemy's spells with aether. But the biggest progress I made is the fact that now I can use destruction as well as Regis can

Leaving my thoughts about the aether aside, I waved to Alea, and the smile blossomed on her face

" Hey there" I said and pulled her in for a kiss all the while giving the man a threatening look

" Hey Arty" she answered blushfully

" Then, shall we leave now?" I said as I took her hand and made my way toward the teleportation gate

Alice Leywin POV

After changing into some more comfortable clothes, I returned to the living room where Tabitha and Vincent were. Lilia and Ellie were outside training together with Rey and the rest of the auction house guards

Tabitha and Vincent were going through some papers regarding the next auction. The event in question is supposed to happen in about three weeks, so they were very busy these days. I could very often see dark circles under Tabitha's eyes, and she even fell asleep while eating the other day

I couldn't do much to help her, but that didn't mean I couldn't do anything. I would often use my healing magic to help her recover her stamina. Though you could say that it was just a devil in disguise, I hope that by doing this I can repay even a fragment of the favor I owe to my best friend

I sat at the other side of the table in silence and pulled some papers out of the dimensional ring Arthur gave me. It's been about six months since I started working as a doctor at Xyrus Hospital. The papers I was working on were reports about the patients I had in the last week

While I am glad that I can earn my own money and not be a burden anymore, I have to admit that I hate doing paperwork. Now I could understand why would Arthur always complains, and I am sure that the next time he does so I will be there to support him!

After the evening finally arrived we were seated around the dining table. Contrary to my expectations, the atmosphere was rather chill
