7. Meeting her

The atmosphere around us was terrible, there was also a rotting smell.

“Khaaaaaa!-”

Someone just screamed inside that room, and there was the sound of something getting crushed.

“Geez, she seems rough today”

Jay said with his usual tone, but still what is even happening? Is the person we are meeting his wife? Maybe the person we are meeting is his wife’s secretary?

As we entered the room, we were greeted with a huge throne. It appears the room was a throne room. The room was filled with purple banners with gold linings for symbols.

And the person at the center of it all was a figure sitting on the throne menacingly. At the front of the figure was another figure, but it appeared it was damaged and in a pitiful state.

“Come on Fay, stop with the meaningless torture”

It was pretty ironic considering it came from this guy.

“Ironic....”

It appears we were thinking the same opinion on his statement. After saying that, I felt its gaze move toward my eyes. I feel scared.

“Oh well-“

He said while approaching the figure and kicking out the poor guy who was on the floor.

“Why don’t you change to your 3rd dimensional form? It will be less awkward”

After that, he slammed the palm of his right hand towards the throne and pinned the figure in a romantic way. Wait, don’t tell me this person is his wife?

Her red crimson eyes then looked in my direction and into Jay’s eyes once again.

“Why is it that I can’t read his mind? Are you monopolizing him?”

Was she trying to read my mind? I silently thanked Jay for his actions.

“Come on, I can’t just let you read the mind of a teenage boy. Who knows what he might be thinking?”

Aren’t you always reading my mind anyway? But still, I was thankful to him for not allowing his wife from reading my mind.

She just let out an exhausted sigh, and in an instant, her appearance changed from a black electric-like appearance to a short female figure.

She has shiny blonde hair, but what got my attention the most were her crimson eyes. They were gorgeous and I felt jealous that she had such beautiful eyes, while I have these trashy ones.

Maybe she sucked all of the beautiful eyes in the world to fuel her eyes?

“Haaaa! Haaaaaa! Haaaaaaaaaa!”

I heard some inaudible screams from the guy who Jay just kicked. But what got my attention was the moment he screamed, it was as if it was afraid of her appearance. Why?

She finally got off from her throne and Jay stepped aside as if he was making a way for her. She looked at my face and let out a gentle smile.

“Uh, nice to meet you I guess……”

I do not know what I should be doing here, I am socially awkward.

In an instant, she disappeared from my sight and I felt a feeling as if I was being hugged. I looked down and saw a blonde hair hugging me. I do not know what to do and what is currently happening.

I looked around me looking for signs, but all there was was an empty throne room, minus Jay and a still-screaming guy who was now desperately trying to escape Jay’s grasp.

Jay was also…. Whistling? Not in a jealous way, but as if to make something less awkward. That made me suspicious, but what can I do at this moment? A cute girl was hugging me as if she knew me.

She was very small, as I can remember, I am 186 cm tall and since she only reached my armpits, that would mean she is 145 centimeters tall.

After several seconds, she pulled away from the hug and looked at me as if I were a weirdo.

“What’s up with the lack of response”

She said with a puzzled look. What was I even supposed to do and say? She gazed at my eyes still with a puzzled look for a couple of seconds as if she was thinking, and then her face changed into that of curiosity.

“Jay, what did you do?”

Jay began to whistle even harder and faster to subvert attention from him, now I am curious, what did he do?

“Y-you! You look like exactly him!”

The pitiful guy still at Jay’s mercy screamed out while pointing at her. It really was scared of her appearance, but why? And also “him”? What kind of guy looks like a woman?

“Because we are related, duh?”

She said with a roll of her eyes, and in an instant, the poor guy was crushed. His dimensions were folded in an unstable way, plus there was mana surrounding him to kill him.

“Now then, what did he say to you about me?”

She then directed her gaze upon me again.

“Uuuh nothing really. All he said about you was that you are his wife….. And that you are having a child together….. just about it”

“I see-“

She said with a pissed-off tone

“Then, what did he say to you about himself?”

“Nothing really”

I had to establish what I knew about him piece by piece myself.

After I said that, she began massaging her hair on where her bangs were at.

“Jay, let’s have a talk later, okay?”

“Come on! You just ruined a planned moment! I was supposed to save him like a damsel in distress and reveal it to him! Aaaah!”

He ranted while throwing his arms in the air like a child not being able to get his parent to buy something from a mall.

In response, she just let out an exhausted sigh and held both of my hands. She looked at my eyes with a gentle smile and proclaimed-

“Well, it’s time for an introduction huh? My name is Fedra Arturus Everos(pronunciation: fay-drah art-uu-rus E-ve-ros), I am a human born in Londinium, in the year 601, and I am your mother”

…..

I just looked into her eyes silently, I didn’t know how to react to this. But during Jay’s rant, I was able to find out that we might be related.

“Oh well, I guess it’s normal for you to not have a reaction……”

But still, why did she have to say “human”? Is Jay, not a human? That would be terrifying.

“Uuuh, why did you have to say you are human?”

She slowly let go of my hand and turned her body around to the angle where Jay was silently sitting. Yup, Jay was now sitting on the throne.

So he really is not human huh? Wait, what would that make me? I doubt that he isn’t my father.

“Eh, don’t worry about your ancestry, you are still a hundred percent human, I am also a hundred percent human…. I am also a hundred percent celestial.”

That biology doesn’t make any sense. Wouldn’t that make me some weird numbers? Also what the hell is a celestial? Does that mean Jay is a moon or a sun?

“You are a hundred percent human, while also 50 percent celestial. Simple”

“Now, my question for you is, what have you been doing for the past month?”

“Eek!”

Jay panicked just from that question, wait, if she asked that question, what was he really doing?

“Who knows?”

Jay’s face immediately turned back to his usual carefree tone and smile. But she just looked at him with a serious gaze.

There was a long silence, nobody said a word.

But that silence was broken with a sigh from Fedra.

A black sphere appeared in the air and Fedra looked at it as if she was looking at something. I noticed Jay averted his eyes away from her while whistling.

“I see, unless you have a proper reason on why you spent that whole month with Ash, there will be no touching me for a month”

Another name that was spoken out. Perhaps Jay swings both ways?

“Come on, it’s been a few decades since he last saw us! Shouldn’t I be the one to ask you why you aren’t spending time with him?”

“Fair….. but why exactly now did you visit Ash?”

“…..”

“…..”

Both of them kept quiet with Fedra awaiting an answer, while Jay was genuinely confused about his actions.

“…..”

“…..”

“I…. Don’t know. It just came to me”

“I see, valid.”

Jay’s expressions brightened up just from a single word. “Valid”.

“Does that mean I still can-“

Fedra replied with a nod of her head and a gentle smile. In an instant, Jay disappeared from the throne and appeared beside me. He took her from the hip and carried her upwards.

I just looked at Jay rubbing his head on her as if she was his body pillow. But, she looked genuinely happy, she was smiling at Jay’s affection. I see, so that is how they flirt.

“No no, she isn’t my body pillow, she is my chopping board”

He just casually insulted her lack of breasts, something that I desperately tried to not think or monologue about.

But, it appears she just let that insult slide.
