Traveling Across Worlds, Starting with The Irregular at Magic High School - Chapter 131

"Riveria, I have something I want to ask you?"

After having dinner last night, Ais went to Riveria's room.

"What's wrong!"

Upon seeing her beloved daughter enter, Riveria immediately put down the Magecraft book she was studying, turned around, and asked.

"I want to know how to express my gratitude to someone!"

Ais's serious attitude and words startled Riveria, but Riveria quickly realized that this was the first time Ais had asked her about anything other than how to become stronger, so she had to answer properly.

"Has this person been a great help to you?"

Riveria is now prepared to do everything in her power to help her beloved daughter solve the problem.

"It must be very big!"

Ais for a moment. Although there was no guarantee that William's suggestion would work, it was, after all, the first time someone had given her seemingly useful advice.

So she still wanted to repay William properly.

"I see! Then those who helped you are from our Familia?"

"Yes!"

Ais nodded blankly.

"Is it Tiona and the others?"

Riveria mentioned it casually, after all, Ais had only ever released a few people from the Familia.

"No, it's William!"

"William?"

Riveria blinked her emerald green eyes, wondering if there might be something wrong with her hearing.

"Um!"

Although she didn't understand why Riveria had repeated the question, Ais nodded patiently.

A surge of emotions welled up inside Riveria; she finally felt like the child she had painstakingly raised had grown up.

She has always paid close attention to Ais's mental state, although the grown-up Ais doesn't seem as stubborn as before.

But she knew that this was just Ais hiding her inner turmoil, which might erupt at any time.

She had always tried to make an effort in this regard, hoping that Ais would focus on something else, but no matter what she did, it was all in vain.

It seems William might be able to have some positive influence on Ais, Riveria thought with her eyes lowered.

"Here's what we'll do! Let William lie on your lap and get some rest!"

Thinking of this, Riveria raised her head and said to Ais in a relaxed tone.

Although she wasn't sure if there was anything between them, she was certain William would appreciate this way of expressing his gratitude.

"It's that simple?"

Ais said with some surprise, she thought it was about collecting some treasure, or giving it to William Farley as a token of gratitude!

"Don't worry, no man would dislike this method."

Riveria's tone was quite confident, even though she was also a novice.

But she's seen a lot! And with more experience comes more knowledge!

"Is that so!"

Let's go back to the present.

"Master Riveria?" William looked somewhat surprised.

He never expected that his usually serious and aloof master would come up with such a terrible—no, brilliant—idea for Ais!

"Doesn't William like it?"

Ais frowned slightly. If William wasn't satisfied with this, she would have to find another way to express her gratitude.

"No, this method is excellent!"

Now that Ais's mother has agreed, he has nothing to hesitate about.

Besides, he wasn't completely without feelings for Ais. If he had no feelings at all, he wouldn't have cut back on his rest time to come here early in the morning to spar with Ais.

William adjusted his posture and gently rested his head on Ais's only patch of white skin not covered by the blue leg armor.

The moment William lay down, he felt a faint, pleasant fragrance lingering around his nose.

The girl's slightly fleshy thighs were like a high-end pillow, their soft texture almost enveloping his head.

William was enjoying the beauty of the young girl's thighs.

Ais's pretty face was already burning red. As an innocent young girl, this was the first time she had been so close to a man.

His golden eyes lowered slightly.

She slowly reached out her small hand and gently tidied the slightly messy strands of hair on William's forehead.

Feeling the girl's gentle movements, William's persistent drowsiness began to dissipate slightly.

"Ais, you're going to the Dungeon by yourself later, aren't you?"

William's voice was soft; the comforting warmth of the place made him reluctant to speak loudly and disrupt the cozy atmosphere.

"No, Lefia invited me to go with her yesterday."

As Ais spoke, she continued to tidy William's hair without stopping.

"That's good. If you're fighting with weights on, you'll still need your teammates' support."

"Although your combat experience and skills are still there, your various abilities have suddenly declined, and your fighting methods are somewhat inconsistent."

This is something William discovered during his sparring session with Ais earlier; she kept rushing at him as if she still had her previous speed.

This caused her and her swordsmanship to become slightly out of sync, which is why William was able to seize Ais's opening so easily just now.

"I know!"
