"You impudent fellow! Betty is really angry now!" Faced with Takeru's actions, Beatrice's face flushed red. Then, Takeru felt a gravitational force acting on his body, followed by his surroundings turning dark, even his senses being blocked.
Clearly, this was Beatrice's Yin Magic skills: Gravity Magic and Shamak. However, the slight increase in gravity was negligible to Takeru, who was accustomed to bearing over two tons of weight.
As for Shamak, although Takeru's five senses were indeed blocked, Observation Haki didn't fall under the five senses. He clearly perceived everything, transmitting it to his mind.
"Hmph, a misbehaving loli really needs a good lesson!" As he said this, Takeru gave her bottom another firm spank.
Seeing Takeru completely unaffected, Beatrice was stunned again. But under Takeru's spanking, she could only dissolve the Yin Magic on Takeru with tears in her eyes.
Feeling everything return to normal, Takeru looked again at the pitiful little girl.
Beatrice tragically realized she truly had no way to deal with Takeru.
"Hmph, see? Know my power now? Next time you misbehave, the punishment will be even worse!" Looking at her, Takeru threatened again.
Hearing Takeru's threat, Beatrice trembled, looking at him with fear.
"Mm-hmm, that's better. Alright, I'm leaving now. I'll come find you later. Don't miss me too much!" Ruffling her hair, Takeru spoke and left.
"Who would miss you?!" Hearing Takeru, Beatrice said, puffing her cheeks. As Takeru's figure left through the door, Beatrice stared blankly at his departing back.
Though his earlier actions angered her, for some reason, she couldn't feel any disgust towards him.
Apart from Puck, who visited recently, Beatrice had spent over four hundred years alone. Bound by the so-called contract and lacking subsequent Gospel pages, she could only wait endlessly in this Forbidden Library.
Four hundred years of stagnation weighed on her heart, forcing her to suppress her emotions. But Takeru's playfulness just now made her feelings stir again.
Leaving the Forbidden Library, Takeru showed a pleased smile. After sensing the mansion's situation, he headed directly to Felt's room.
Knock knock!
"Who is it?" Hearing the knock, Felt directly asked.
"It's me." Hearing her somewhat guarded voice, Takeru shook his head with amusement.
"Nii-san! Where were you earlier?" Opening the door and seeing Takeru, Felt said happily.
"Mm-hmm, I went to a special place earlier. By the way, Felt, I made some food. Want to try it?" Hearing her, Takeru said with a light laugh.
"Thank you, Nii-san! Come in first." Hearing Takeru had thoughtfully prepared dinner for her, Felt spoke excitedly.
Soon, they entered and sat at a low table. Takeru directly took out the meals he prepared earlier in the kitchen.
"Wow, it smells amazing!" Though curious how Takeru produced the food, Felt was immediately drawn to the delicious-looking dishes.
"Here, try it quickly. Be careful, it's hot." Takeru directly served her a bowl of soup.
"Nii-san, you eat too." Hearing Takeru, Felt said.
"Alright." Seeing her look, Takeru nodded.
Then, the three dishes were finished between the two. After chatting with Felt for a while, Takeru bid her farewell and left her room.
Felt, with Takeru's care, soon fell asleep...
As for Takeru, after leaving Felt, he didn't return to his room. Instead, he checked again and found the door connected to the Forbidden Library hadn't changed… it was still the same door he entered earlier.
Thinking this, Takeru smiled and opened that door, seeing Beatrice with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
"Hehe, I'm back, Beatrice. Did you miss me?" Looking at her, Takeru said with a light laugh.
"Hmph! Betty would never miss an impudent person like you!" Hearing Takeru, Beatrice denied directly, but the slight upturn at the corner of her mouth betrayed her not-unpleasant mood.
"Is that so? That's sad." Hearing her, Takeru spoke, but showed no sign of sadness.
"By the way, Betty, teach me how to read." Then, looking at the vast Forbidden Library and its many books, Takeru directly said to Beatrice.
"Hmph! Why should Betty help you?" Hearing Takeru, Beatrice directly replied.
"Great, it's settled then. So, where should I start?" Ignoring her words, Takeru picked her up and began walking around the library.
"You... you impudent fellow! Put Betty down now!" Seeing Takeru not following common sense at all, Beatrice was somewhat furious.
"There, there. Good girl, no more tantrums." Hearing her, Takeru spoke as if coaxing a child.
"You... you...!" Faced with Takeru's actions, Beatrice was too angry to speak.
Then, under Takeru's persistent pestering, Beatrice thoughtfully selected books for Takeru to learn from. Held in front of Takeru, she taught him to read.
With the Sharingan and super high Spirit, Takeru mastered the I-Script in three hours. Since this world had three scripts, Takeru had Beatrice continue teaching, quickly mastering the other two.
Seeing Takeru learn the world's scripts in one night, Beatrice was stunned. She even suspected Takeru was teasing her, having already learned the language beforehand, deliberately coming to toy with her.
"Alright, Betty, it's getting late. I'll come find you tonight. Be good and wait for me, okay?" Noticing the changing light outside, Takeru kissed her forehead.
"Who's going to wait for you?!" She muttered softly. Watching Takeru leave, Beatrice felt, for the first time, eager for night to fall.
…
After bidding Beatrice farewell, Takeru went outside. Seeing the sky growing light, he stretched lightly and headed out.
Soon, he noticed Ram and Rem bustling about.
"Good morning, Ram and Rem. Taking care of such a large mansion must be really hard work." Looking at them, Takeru greeted them with a light laugh.
"Good morning." Hearing Takeru's greeting, the two nodded lightly, appearing somewhat aloof. Takeru didn't mind, after all, they weren't familiar yet.
Then, Takeru woke Felt and, under Rem's guidance, freshened up. Afterward, he took Felt for a leisurely walk in the courtyard.
"Takeru, Felt, good morning! Did you rest well yesterday?" After strolling for a bit, Emilia, wearing pink clothes, came to the courtyard.
"Good morning, Lia. We rested very well!" Hearing her, Takeru said with a light laugh.
"Good morning." Felt simply greeted.
"Is that so? That's great. I'm relieved." Hearing Takeru, Emilia said with a light laugh.
Then, after chatting for a while, Puck woke up.
"Good morning, everyone!" After appearing, Puck greeted everyone with a light laugh, his gaze lingering on Takeru.
"Morning, Puck." Hearing him, Takeru said with a light laugh.
"Good morning, Puck. I'm sorry for pushing you yesterday." Hearing Puck, Emilia said with a light laugh.
"Morning, Lia. Yesterday was really dangerous. How should we thank Takeru? We must give him some reward." Hearing Emilia, Puck said, arms crossed.
"In that case, can you teach me how to use mana to cast magic?" Hearing him, Takeru said with a light laugh.
"Magic?" Hearing Takeru, Puck was stunned.
"Eh? Nii-san, don't you already know how to use magic?" Hearing Takeru, Felt asked in surprise.
"That? That's not magic. It's a more special ability." Hearing her, Takeru lightly shook his head.
