Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[Eon's POV: ]

"Uhhhwhhh~."

A nostalgic gentle sunlight right on my face. The indicator of dawn and the sound of birds and bees filling ringing right outside our window.

It was morning alredy…

[[ Morning master~! ]]

[[ "Morning, Celes." ]]

My bedroom, this warm bed where I had spent most of my nights in, this warm place, which was a little cold on this winter morning, but there was thankfully one around.

'Anna usually comes up running every morning to wake me up, but from the voices

I can hear outside from the outside, it's evident she is playing with the giuests and the friends that arrived with us yesterday.'

And she sounds happy, which means the other early birds were facing some kind of trouble.

"Haaaa…"

But it was fine.

They were good when it came to taking care of troublesome things and my cute troublemaker wouldn't at least show them some mercy on their first morning in this house.

'Last night was good, and saddening as well.'

Rein will go right after her parents comes back in a few days. And it was a final decision from her grandfather.

'He needed her there to resolve some troublesome things that were going on in the south.'

Rein was the official representative of Atraxia house, and the forces of southwest that were being jerks weren't listening with the peaceful means anymore.

They didn't know why but the marques of the nearby land who had only ever shown a little oppression to Atraxia in the past was acting up all of a sudden.

'They had set their troops near the Atraxia borders, there were multiple reports of forest fires, and large scale hunting was happening in places that contained protected species of animal and plants.'

The marques and his household was certainly owned the lands that they were hunting on, but the same lands were closely connected with the Atraxia lands so there has always been a treaty between their families to not interfere with each other's business.

They were a large producers of energy beast products so hunting was what they did while Atraxia had been the largest producers of agricultural products ever since the dawn of this empire.

They had no need to cross paths and they can do what they had been doing, but the things happening all over the world was causing many people all over the world to act up in different ways.

There certainly was no need to worry too much about the smaller forces for the bigger forces like ours or her house's, but then again, they couldn't just let things happen when it was about the natural habitats of important beasts that were the sole reason the special plants existed.

So… to 'warn' those people, Rein will have to go and deal with them as the representative of her house, and since it will take time, she will only be back by the grand auction.

"Rise and shine, sleepyhead."

"Three minutes minutes…"

Right beside me was sleeping the jewel of the south, her purple hair unbridled, messy and all over the pillow, her clear skin shining under the sunlight of the early morning, giving her a softer tone… her eyes closed, and her harms wrapped around a pillow.

'She is gorgeous…'

She looked more attractive today, or perhaps it was only my imagination.

She was going back to her own home soon, so our time would be limited… and though we will only be apart of a few days, that time isn't going to be anything easier with everyone present here with us.

Hopefully, I will be able to drown myself in work…

"Mmmm…" I gave her a kiss on her neck, gently. And continued admiring my beautiful piece of art.

She was wearing her night clothing, which has always made her too attractive for any living being to resist. And she does it on purpose.

'Bad girl…'

It was already morning, so we should get up and start with our routine… there was going to be a lot of work for us starting today, so wasting too much time wasn't a good idea.

"Rein-"

Three minutes passed, so I called her name again, but as soon as I did so, she pulled my head down with her magic, turned around, and looked me in the eye with her sleepy face.

"What's the matter with you, human?"

She was looking at me with her eyes that still wanted to sleep a little more, with no smile on her face that would indicate she was just in the mood of playing around.

She was serious right now. She wanted to sleep today…

"You want to sleep? Then sleep. I will go-"

"What the hell… is the matter with you, you damn pretty human?"

She wanted to sleep so I was just gonna let her sleep, so why did she wrap her arms around me when I was getting off the bed?

And, why is she calling me human today, hun?

"Stay."

"Why would an esteemed, attractive, smart, bad, hot witch… need this human around, hun? You can sleep all you want, my lady.

I will go get some breakfast-"

"Stay. Please…"

She closed her pretty eyes once again, tightened her grip around me, and buried her head in my chest.

"Hey… what's up?"

She was being all cute and needy even though we weren't in our academy dorms anymore.

"Nothing. I just… want to sleep."

Her warm breaths, the touch of her hands, fingers, nails on my back… her body pressed against mine… they weren't anything new to us anymore, but still… it felt good.

Too good, actually.

"You want to sleep? Really?"

We slept late last night after doing all kinds of… normal things.

We cuddled for hours before her eyes just shut on their own, and she had fallen asleep on the couch out on the terrace.

'I had to bring her in, and put her to bed.'

And that only happened because she got too excited and tried out various things with her hands and feet… we were gardening for a while. Nothing weird.

"Yes… just a little-"

-Knock. Knock.

"Yo~. Eon, Elle~. We're having breakfast in the garden. Come down~."

That was Carla.

And, she just left after saying that.

"You heard that."

"Tsk."

She wanted to stay like that for a few more minutes. I know that.

And also how she was planning to lead me towards doing things that would exhaust her down once again.

'We still had a lot of work to do anyway.'

And we had decided to go out to some nearby mountains to test out my new skills in the evening, so that was also going to take a quite a bit of energy.

"How about we-"

I was going to suggest we postpone whatever I she wanted to do for night, but no.

She pressed her lips against mine, slid her hands in my clothes, and dug her sharp nails in my back.

"Ughh."

Which was painful!

[[ "When are you going to become legal, human? This is so frustrating, you know?" ]]

[[ "I would know the best, ma'am." ]]

Well, boundaries were boundaries. And they were there to teach discipline. We knew that… I knew that.

But coming back home, being overwhelmed with the memories, emotions, and time we had spent in this house before going to the academy, the fun things and the love we expressed…

'She perceived 'time' in a special way. I can understand that much. But the way she perceived it was still something only she knew the best.'

She knew how long a minute could be, how long even a second could stretch sometimes… hours were like seasons to her sometimes, days with the same stuff unbearably long.

She was an anomaly that had learned to deal with her problems in her own way.

But… it gets difficult for her sometimes.

She needs me in times like that. She wants me to be around, embrace her, and keep her engaged so that she can get her mind off the 'flow' of things.

And be there in that moment, until she gets the hang of herself again.

"Alright. That's enough now. Get up. Let's go wash up and go down. They must be waiting."

Codependency, obsession, and overreliance on one another for things that we can do ourselves easily.

They weren't very good things to have, certainly not in situations where we would have to be separated for longer periods.

'Both our families knows this 'obsession' of ours, that's the main reason whenever we have to be punished, most of the time, they just separate us.'

We know why they do it and how wrong we are… but what can we do anyway?

"Ok…"

It wasn't something we can help ourselves with anymore.

"Careful, the room is still a mess."

"You messed us up…"

"You're still sleepy."

It was our normal morning in our home.

The day was fresh.

Winds were cool but there was no snow yet, so things were pretty beautiful.

House was filled with more noises than usual with all our friends being present here.

And since from the looks of things, everything looked pretty good, we thought the garden and this breakfast would be pretty normal and good as well.

"What the hell… happened here?"

By the time Rein and I reached the front side garden after finishing our little things, instead of being greeted by the sight of our friends sitting on the various tables and chairs, we saw a messed up garden with some parts of it burden, some washed up with water and acid, some part of the garden was frozen while in conclusion, half the front garden where we have had many of our breakfasts was a complete mess.

Slimes of various kinds were running around all over the place, with Povpoi running in front of them.

Everyone including Anna and Zoe were chasing these slimes and Povpoi… no, well. Anna was playing tag with the Povpoi from the looks of things.

"Aunt Haze is going to be so mad…"

"Hehe, that looks fun. Let's join them as well darling~."

"No, you little. This isn't time to play."

The garden was a mess…

And, I could already sense a piercing gaze right on my back.
