Chapter 146 Claire's Animal Domain
Three in the morning.
Claire woke up from her sleep, cold sweat dripping from her forehead.
After she opened her eyes, she looked at the ceiling of the balcony, her eyes went from blank to focused, and it took a while for her to recover.
"I'm back again."
The layout of the tower dormitory has remained unchanged for decades, only the furniture has been updated.
Every dorm was the same.
The balcony space was as small as ever.
Claire was neither sociable nor insecure.
After school time in her student days, she basically spent all her time reading books on the balcony.
Even a cramped space and a room full of animals could make her feel at peace.
Speaking of animals...
It was only then that she remembered something.
So she got up, picked up the cat grass, and glanced into the bedroom, only to see the magical spirits that had accompanied her for half her life all sleeping peacefully in the bedroom.
This surprised her a little.
"Did Dark do it?" She turned to look at the bed.
Her best friend's son was sleeping in bed, and there was a spherical familiar spirit with bat wings by the bed.
"Bat?"
Claire yawned, still a little bit sleepy.
She pushed open the door of the balcony, the magic card hidden in her sleeve flicked slightly, and the field magic covering the entire bedroom dissipated naturally, and the magical spirits turned into light at the same time, pouring into her card pouch.
The magical spirit cannot exist outside the magic card for a long time under normal circumstances, but Claire was called the [Sage of Beasts], so naturally, she had her own specialty.
Whether it was a small field spell card [Zoo] or a large field spell card [Animal Kingdom], the magical spirits of "Bird & Beast-type" could be manifested for a long time.
As long as the field spell card was cast out, within the shrouded range of the field magic would be her animal domain!
...
Claire, who entered the bedroom, put the cat grass in the sleeping basket at the head of the bed, and then looked at Dark on the bed with bright eyes.
Before she came here, she had already inquired about Dark's current situation from many people.
But based on her past knowledge of him and what she heard over the years, she always felt that there was something wrong with it.
How would a person who couldn't even stick to the most ordinary sword-wielding training become a model top student?
But the blanket in her hand seemed to silently state a fact.
"Have you really grown up?"
Claire bent down, her eyes twinkling with a gleam, and she carefully looked at the young boy she hadn't seen in a few years.
"But he still looks so small."
She reached out and poked Dark's face, the light in her eyes getting brighter and brighter.
...
It was exactly six o'clock.
Dark woke up suddenly.
All night, he was having messy dreams.
From the various dramas he watched in the previous life, to the various things he experienced in this life, they were all cluttered together, making his sleep quality worse.
Especially the dream he had before waking up, it made him wake up directly.
When he was at age of six.
He was turned into a cat by the angry Claire for tearing up her book.
The night that followed, he was buried in Claire's arms and nearly suffocated to death in his sleep!
What was even more terrifying was that after that, Claire seemed to be addicted to bullying him. As long as she was not happy, she would take her anger out on him, and when she lost sleep, she would turn him into a pillow.
His mother who usually doted on him in every possible way also sided with Claire, and for several nights he was caught in between them, which made him miserable and almost had a psychological shadow!
Those nightmarish days didn't end until Claire left Duchess' house.
But now, this devil is back!
Remembering the memories that remained in his mind, Dark opened his eyes sharply.
Claire's body fragrance was very unique. It was the one that was hard to forget.
He immediately discovered Claire who was sleeping beside him.
Then he subconsciously looked down.
But what appeared in his eyes was not the body of a cat, but a very alluring scene.
[Lust +1]
Dark's face changed slightly, and he immediately used "spiritual concentration art" to empty his brain, and finally stopped Lust's continued growth in time!
Somehow, Claire didn't turn him into a cat.
But she still treated him as a pillow.
After a brief moment.
Dark stabilized his mind and lifted the "spiritual concentration art".
Claire's dignified and beautiful face was close at hand, and her breath smelled like the orchid.
Dark quietly pulled away and tried to get off the other side of the bed.
But Claire's eyelashes flickered, and she opened her eyes.
Dark didn't change his expression: "Good morning, Aunt Kate."
Claire straightened up from the bed and combed her hair. "Auntie stayed in your room for a night, you wouldn't mind it, right?"
Dark smiled. "Of course, I don't mind. Principal Arte didn't arrange a dormitory for you?"
Claire smiled and said, "There should be some arrangements. But I came earlier than she expected, and I didn't want to disturb her in the middle of the night, so I came to your dormitory to have a look."
Dark's face darkened: "So it's okay to disturb me?"
Claire patted the bed: "After all, we are already in this kind of relationship."
...
The morning air was as fresh as ever.
Dark and Claire walked side by side on the way to the dining hall.
Claire sniffed the air around her and sighed, "Old things always stay the same."
Dark said casually, "Isn't that what it's worth?"
Claire didn't deny it.
Dark then said, "Aunt Kate, don't you want to talk about the travel history of the past few years?"
Claire shook her index finger: "Want to know? Then I have to recommend that you buy a copy of Claire's Travel Diary."
Dark asked in surprise, "You've published a book?"
Claire: "I'm a columnist for Erudite magazine."
Dark: "Okay, then I'll take a look when I get a chance."
Claire: "Don't just ask me, is your college life going well? Have you got a little girlfriend?"
Dark rolled his eyes. "It takes a lot of energy to maintain an image of an honor student."
...
The two then entered the dining hall.
Claire ordered meals with ease and greeted the older halfling chefs one by one.
After finally sitting down, Professor Silver appeared.
Dark then left Claire to Professor Silver.
They didn't start talking about business right away, but sipped tea after the meal, recalling Claire's school days.
Professor Silver's tenure at Saint Marian was second only to Principal Arte.
She had witnessed the growth of countless heroes.
Also witnessed the fall of countless heroes.
Time was cold and cruel.
The only thing that could go against time was the relationship between people.
Professor Silver was very happy about Claire's return to school.

It's a habit of the elderly to get nostalgic.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure the original Dark's bad personality is half from Claire tormenting him
