Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Nicole sighed as Ethan hugged her from behind.

While waiting for the Progenitor of Magic to return, the young lady's condition deteriorated, so Ethan decided to take her to his Domain, where she could get the treatment she needed.

The two teenagers were sitting on the branch of the World Tree, that shone faintly under the night sky.

Since this particular Domain was a world of its own, Ethan didn't need to continuously use magic to activate it.

Everything was fine—well, except for the curious Fairies looking at the two teenagers while munching on sweets and candies as if they were popcorn, giving the impression that they were watching a show.

"Hey, when do you think they will take their clothes off?"

"Is something wrong with the Young Master? I thought humans copulate when they are alone?"

"Maybe they are feeling shy because we are here?"

"How about we pretend that we are not looking at them? Do you think they will do it?"

"Maybe? Okay, let's do that! Everyone, please pretend that we are not observing them, okay?"

"""Okay!"""

Nicole's body trembled from time to time as she did her best to hold back the giggle that was threatening to escape her lips.

Ethan, on the other hand, was feeling embarrassed. The nosy fairies were peeking at them from behind the branches and leaves of the World Tree, seemingly unaware that the two of them could hear them.

"Maybe you'd like to give them a demonstration?" Nicole said in a teasing tone. "It seems that the Fairies are very curious about the workings of Human anatomy."

"Don't make me pinch you," Ethan threatened. "It's bad to teach these kids something like that."

Nicole was leaning on Ethan's chest, with her head resting on his shoulder.

Since Ethan was hugging her from behind, they might have looked like a couple in the eyes of the Fairies.

The young man noticed that the frequency with which Nicole's body became as cold as ice was increasing, so he was worried about her.

Nicole, on the other hand, told him that this was just a normal occurrence, and he shouldn't worry too much about it.

"Don't worry," Nicole said. "I'm pretty sure I'll still be able to graduate from the academy before I kick the bucket… I think?"

"You'll live a long life," Ethan replied. "Stop being pessimistic."

He subconsciously hugged Nicole tighter. During moments like these, he felt like she would suddenly disappear without a trace.

"Okay, let's be optimistic," Nicole nodded. "I will leave a long life, live a life of luxury, and have five to six kids."

"… Five to six kids?" Ethan blinked once then twice because he didn't expect that Nicole wanted to have a big family. "Are you sure you can take care of that many kids?"

"Why not?" Nicole asked back. "I'm fit, healthy, and strong. Half a dozen kids will not be a problem."

Ethan chuckled before shaking his head. "My grandma has six siblings, and she said that their mother often complained that it wasn't easy changing their diapers when they were kids, and watching over them after they had grown up. Are you prepared to do such a thing? Will you be able to take it?"

"I'll know when I get there," Nicole replied. "But no matter how many kids I have, I will love them as much as I can. I'll give them the love that I never had from my parents."

Nicole's father was dead, and her mother was in a coma.

She grew up doing her best to fend for herself in a family where blood and lineage was everything.

The young lady had been treated as an outcast, which only changed after she gained the power of a Legacy that made her a very powerful Witch.

Since the Patriarch of the Asta Family thought that Nicole would be a valuable asset, he decided to change the treatment that the family was giving her.

However, that was not enough to wash away the resentment she felt for the past several years of her life.

Not to mention, the power she gained was eating at her life force even at this very moment.

Ethan didn't know if it was worth having such power, when it wasn't compatible with her body.

Sebastian and Ethan's Other Half both agreed that Nicole only had two to three years to live.

If she couldn't find a way to control her powers fully, Ethan planned to ask her again to let him take that power away from her so that she could live.

They already had this talk before, and he felt like Nicole was considering his proposal if she really couldn't find a way to make her Legacy submit to her will.

"Um, can you raise your hand a bit," Nicole said. "Just two to three inches. I feel numb in that area."

Ethan subconsciously did as he was told and suddenly found his two thumbs pressing against something that made the Fairies start murmuring with each other.

Yes, Ethan's fingers were now pressing against the young lady's chest, making the Fairies very excited.

"They're doing it!"

"Finally!"

"Our strategy is working!"

"Is this what humans call four play?"

"I think it's called replay."

"No. I believe it's called downplay?"

"How can it be down when they're high up in the branches of the World Tree?"

"You're right, maybe it's coldplay?"

"Is she and the Young Master going to have a baby now?"

"She said she wanted to have six kids. So will they do it six times?"

"""That's it!"""

Ethan almost coughed out blood then and there because he had completely forgotten about the little troublemakers who had decided to hide from plain sight.

He didn't know if Nicole did it on purpose, but the aftermath was something that made his face turn beet red.

Nicole turned her head to look at the young man and giggled after seeing the redness of his face.

"You're already married and have many lovers," Nicole said with a mischievous smile on her face. "Why are you getting flustered over something like this? It's not like I'm naked or something. I'm still wearing clothes."

"Shut up," Ethan replied. "Or else."

"Or else what?" Nicole arched an eyebrow.

The two stared at each other for a while before Nicole lightly poked Ethan's nose.

"As thanks for helping me warm up, how about I help you refill your magic?" Nicole proposed. "How does that sound?"

"Okay," Ethan replied.

This wasn't the first time that Nicole repaid him with a kiss for helping her recover.

She also discovered that whenever she kissed Ethan, the coldness that swept over her would be delayed by a few more days.

Even so, that didn't mean that either of them had romantic feelings for each other.

Although they were more than friends, but certainly not lovers, both of them were very comfortable with their current relationship.

Ethan considered Nicole to be one of his safe havens because he could talk freely with her about topics that he couldn't discuss with his lovers.

The young lady then closed her eyes and playfully puckered her lips, eliciting a chuckle from Ethan.

So, under the gaze of countless fairies, the young man placed his hand on Nicole's chin and gently pressed his lips over hers.

The Fairies, who were like little children, couldn't help but cover their eyes with their hands—of course, they still deliberately peeked through the gaps.

For them, any girl whom their Master liked was a good girl, which was the reason they thought that Nicole was one of the special people in their Master's life.

And they were not wrong about that.

Under the shade of the World Tree, the two teenagers kissed, while the Fairies giggled faintly in the background.

Ethan reaffirmed to himself then and there that he wouldn't allow Nicole to die a premature death, even if he had to take the power of her Legacy away by force.
