96: The Battle Among Women Begins!

【Artifact: The Bottle of Worlds】

【Effect 1: Can produce a strange green liquid that accelerates the growth of magical plants.】

【Effect 2: Capable of healing injuries.】

【Effect 3: Can store items far beyond the capabilities of ordinary storage devices.】

【Effect 5: Unknown; its true abilities have yet to be restored. Perhaps one day it will reveal unexpected effects.】

This artifact boasts numerous functions; no wonder it’s called a divine relic! I must have truly struck gold with this one!

While Eirik pondered these thoughts, in a room at an inn in Aelsryel, Violanda slowly opened her eyes. For a moment, confusion flickered in her gaze, and it took a few moments to fully regain her senses.

“Though it’s not the first time I’ve accessed memories from a life simulation game, this time feels particularly vivid. Even I, as a bishop, almost got lost in it…”

As she mumbled to herself, her eyes fell upon a fairy hand mirror that had appeared in her grasp without her noticing. The mirror was ancient and exquisite, but its surface was so clouded that it reflected no image, giving it an oddly eerie appearance.

No doubt about it, this is the Reincarnation Mirror.

Playing with the mirror in her hand, Violanda moved, flying out of the inn’s window and heading toward the Ravenshadow estate. She needed to find Eirik!

Meanwhile, Eirik was in his room experimenting with the Bottle of Worlds when suddenly, he heard hurried footsteps. He turned to see Elvynna and Pixie entering hand in hand.

What’s going on? Pixie never knocks, and Elvynna, you as well? Don’t let her bad habits rub off on you!

Eirik muttered under his breath, then looked at the two women.

“Ladies, what brings you here?”

What are they up to?

The two women sat down, one on each side of him, one observing Eirik closely while the other scanned the room warily.

“It’s nothing. We just came to chat. Not welcome?” Pixie said, her smile distant.

“Of course, you’re welcome,” Eirik replied with a strained chuckle, feeling a bit troubled. At first, he didn’t understand what was happening, but as their behavior continued, he began to suspect—could it be that someone wanted to use an item on him again?

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

Ugh! Just when I was reveling in the joy of obtaining a divine artifact, I almost forgot I’m in deep trouble.

We agreed not to become entangled with female players in this life simulation! Yet here I am, married to the Potion Master and even having a child. The Potion Master likely possesses an item—the Reincarnation Mirror!

Now, several women will be fighting for his attention. Am I going to be torn asunder by jealous rivals today?

The tension quickly dissipated as footsteps approached again from outside. This time, there were several—could it be the Potion Master?!

Eirik turned to see a small maid accompanied by two familiar yet slightly unfamiliar faces. One was a mature and alluring woman, while the other was a disheveled, youthful girl who was silently observing.

“Mentor Selene, Liora, what brings you here?!” Pixie exclaimed, her brow furrowing in suspicion.

What do you think they’re here for? In the simulation, they failed to win Eirik’s favor, so now they’re trying their luck in reality!

“Pip, why wouldn’t you welcome us? I heard there’s a promising magic student here, so I thought I’d come recruit for the academy. Is that so wrong?” Selene smiled faintly, her voice smooth and slightly enticing. “Besides, is this really the right time for us to be bickering amongst ourselves?”

“I invited them,” Elvynna replied nonchalantly, sitting steadily on the bed and casting a calm glance at Pixie.

You invited them? Why didn’t you tell me?

Pixie felt stifled.

This is my home, yet you carry yourself like the real mistress here!

It’s as if you’re the rightful wife of Eirik, and we’re just the kept women! How frustrating! Even if we’re all set to marry Eirik, I should be the one recognized as his primary wife!

Damn senpai, this is infuriating!

“Now that we’re all aware of the situation, we must stop Violanda, no matter the means!” Elvynna said, lifting a cup of coffee to her lips while secretly communicating with the other girls through telepathy.

“Fine, I’ll follow your lead, senpai.”

Though Pixie felt displeased by Elvynna’s self-assured demeanor, she decided to keep her cool and agreed.

“Violanda has a powerful item in her hands; she’s not going to be easy to deal with.”

Selene frowned, yet she took the opportunity to cast a flirtatious glance at Eirik before settling down.

Meanwhile, Liora, who had been quietly observing, found a place to sit. Her hand holding the coffee cup trembled slightly, and beneath her tousled hair, her ears blushed faintly. She was excited.

“Let’s get this fight started! It’s been ages since I’ve seen something this interesting; today promises to be a spectacle!”

Elvynna had intended to resolve the issue, but Liora seemed to want chaos instead; that was where the fun lay for her.

“What’s going on?” Eirik found himself lost in confusion.

At that moment, the girls were all engaged in mental communication, while Eirik could only watch them exchanging glances.

Beneath those seemingly calm and beautiful faces surged a tumult of emotions, like a raging tide, bizarre reefs, and tumultuous waves!

“I have a feeling this atmosphere is far too unsettling!”

Eirik thought about making an escape. What on earth is happening?

Pixie and Elvynna I can understand, but why are Selene and Liora getting involved?!

Just then, a sudden gust of wind swept through the doorway, causing the flowers in the courtyard to rustle wildly.

“Hmph, Violanda certainly makes a grand entrance! One might think a demon has arrived!”

Pixie huffed, gazing at the enchanting figure emerging from the stormy winds.
