Chapter 452: Irritated high elf

"I'm serious here," Riveria grumbled. "Stop joking, please. Loki, Asahi."

"Alright, I'll be serious." Asahi assumed that dignified expression again. Riveria averted her gaze and shook her head as though she couldn't look at his 'serious' face. Asahi gently held her chin and turned her head. "Mom, talk to me. You said you don't hate me, but you also don't want to fall for me. Is it because I am in a relationship with your goddess?"

Riveria took his hand off her chin. "That's only half the reason. The other half is my commitment to accomplishing my dreams."

She had yet to prepare the next generation of adventurers like her predecessors did. She had yet to cast a great spell out of her recently learned wind element. Above all, she hadn't seen every part of the world—the very goal she had out for when she rebelled against her father and left the forest.

"You're saying you won't be able to fulfill your dreams with me?" Asahi tilted his head. "Will I stop you from doing that? Am I that petty of a person?"

"No! All I'm saying is my adventurer and executive's duties take up most of my day. I don't want to add lover duties to my hefty schedule. It has nothing to do with your character."

"Lover duties? What type of duties does a lover have exactly?"

"Like… going on dates with him, cooking food for him, spending time with him… listening to his day and cheering him up and similar things," Riveria said with closed eyes as if she imagined herself in those scenarios. "This will be time-consuming."

Her outlook on relationships was… surprisingly pure and old-fashioned.

"Wow…" Asahi fell speechless for a moment. Smiling, he stroked Riveria's jade hair. "Mom, you're so precious that I want to protect you. I mean it in every sense of the word."

Riveria blushed as a warmth filled her head. There wasn't anyone in Orario who had the skills to protect her, so naturally, nobody had ever made a promise in such a daring way. Ignoring her disoriented heartbeats, she pushed him back.

"Don't try anything funny."

"She is blushing again!" Loki was beyond excited. She had heard about Riveria's infamous blush in the dungeon but never saw it with her own eyes. "Asahi… let's forgive her mistake this time."

"If you say so."

"I did not make a mistake!" Riveria shouted. "Argh, you two piss me off..."

She threw herself on the blanket, exposing her back. "Do whatever you want."

"She is offerin' herself to silence us." Loki looked down on Riveria with a sadistic smile. "How cute."

"Enough bullying, Loki. Let's kiss and make up."

Riveria covered her mouth and furiously shook her head. She was giving away her first kiss 

Asahi laughed. "Mom is shy."

He quickly applied sunscreen on her. Despite his best attempts, Riveria ended up moaning from the jolts running through her back. She closed her eyes and hid her face into the pillow, trying her very best to not repeat the shameful moan.

'I'm glad I took the skirt.'

She was aware of the wetness seeping through her legs, creating visible spots on the light fabric of her swimsuit. If anyone saw this, her pride and dignity as the executive would be done for.

'What is this man? How can his fingers make me feel this way?'

Asahi hadn't touched any inappropriate places, yet she became an aroused mess of an elven being.

"What happened…?" Ais asked, standing before Riveria.

Ais had noticed the ruckus during her volleyball game and came running as soon as her turn ended.

Riveria lifted her face, leaving a wet spot on the pillow. The drool still lingered at the corner of her lips.

"Ais, go play somewhere," Riveria said as she buried her face in the pillow, again.

Ais looked toward Asahi and the sunscreen lotion on his hands. "Onii-san, me too?"

"No!" Riveria shouted. "Ais, don't bother this busy man. I'll do it."

Riveria wasn't absolutely letting Ais experience this pleasure. Ais revealed a discontent expression at Riveria's astute rejection of Asahi.

"I want Onii-san's hands."

"You little rascal," Riveria chided Ais. "He isn't touching you anymore."

Ais furrowed her brows, irritation written all over her face. She stepped toward Asahi and guided his hand to her head.

"Onii-san… don't listen to hag. Touch me."

Riveria's face turned red. "Ais." She gritted her teeth. "You want to swim again?"

Ais's insult hit the mark, tilting Riveria. The mention of her age was one of the most known taboos in the Familia. 

Ais became pale as traumatizing memories of her swimming lessons flooded in. "Sorry."

Asahi chuckled at the mother and daughter drama. He plopped his hand on Riveria's hand full of jade hair and stroked her. "Mama, don't be angry."

"It's gonna bring wrinkles to yer face." Loki grinned.

Ais nodded along with Loki, agreeing with the sentiment. She unfolded one of the blankets and cozily laid on her belly.

"Okay, enough drama for the time being. Riveria, don't worry about your wet spot and finish it quickly. We'll eat something."

"Wet sp—" Riveria's lips trembled as her eyes narrowed to a deathly glare. "You… you. You're dead."

She pounced at him like a fierce kitten. Alas, her opponent was a wolf, who easily subdued her and embraced her.

"Mom, chill. Ais is here. We shouldn't be intimate here."

Riveria had so many curses to speak, but Asahi's warmth distracted her. She felt comfortable, more than the last time they hugged due to the direct contact between their bodies.

"Mom's body is so soft," he muttered in her ears. "Perfect for cuddling, but I won't force you."

He released her like the good fellow he was and walked toward Haruhime and Rini enjoying an ordinary-level volleyball match.

Riveria stood there in a daze, eyes glued to his back.

'I should be happy he left me alone… but I don't.'

Loki patted Riveria's shoulder. "Riveria, why did ya come out of that shitty isolated kingdom?"

"To explore the world outside… and learn more about things I never saw."

"What are ya doin' now? Shelterin' yer heart like a princess," Loki whispered, shaking her head. "Ya told him about the disadvantages of lovin' someone. I'mma told ya about the advantages of lovin' Asahi. He is so fuckin' carin' that my heart melts every second of the day. He won't force me to do anythin' and he also takes me on dates in other worlds. And his skills in bed are… unparalleled."

"...I get it. He is the best man for you. Stop gloating about it," Riveria grumbled.

Her soaked swimsuit was more than enough proof of his skills. She didn't need more proof of it.
