Chapter 137: You want a kid?
Imagine yourself on a calm and warm grassland.
You are the only one here, enjoying the sunshine. Then, out of nowhere, the demonic presence threatens to gouge out your eyes. You fear that demon and can't resist his frightening eyes. Without any resistance, you agree to not smile and cower before him!
The third presence enters your dream and helps you cope with that demon!
You feel his warm eyes, which give you the energy to kick away the unpleasant existence and enjoy the warm grassland again.
And then, suddenly, you hear music and someone shouting [Here comes!], and that someone smashes his elbow on your face, breaking your nose.
"Attack!" Else screamed as her eyes sprang open, waking up because of the sudden damage to her little nose! Without assessing her situation, the little elf rolled on the ground and distanced herself away from the demon.
Fortunately, no demon was in Leon's carriage.
And as Else blinked, she noticed her savior's woman sleeping soundlessly… But while that black-haired girl didn't let out any sound with her lips, she had terrifying sleeping habits that made sounds as she rolled around in the bed, threatening Else's life!
"My nose…" Else inferred that Celes had unknowingly hurt her while sleeping, lifting her little hand to touch her broken bone.
It hurt her. She had never felt so much pain because everyone around her had treasured and protected her. Even the demons didn't inflict physical pain on her, limiting themselves to mental attacks and warnings. She was a too-precious high elf, and her potential was unknown.
The demons and Heaven Library Guild understood that.
Else's eyes watered, and she ran away from the carriage. She sounded weird, and pain kept assailing her, which was too unpleasant.
"Leon!" Else shouted at the man sitting not too far away from the carriage. But hearing her voice again, Else halted and clenched her clothes, crying more. "It hurts…"
"Goddess!" Leon screamed as though trying to ask Goddess Freya for another favor as Else's nose produced so much blood she looked horrific.
He ran to her, then rebuked Celes after she woke up.
"It's okay, Else. I also got hit by her a few times. My nose is unbreakable right now!"
"Really?"
"Really."

A few days later, Else had a game with the adorable fox.
'Leon often says she's the adorable fox.' Else thought inwardly, peeking at the crimson-haired fox girl through her cards. 'Her eyes are scary. I see nothing adorable.'
Else and Louise played the only game the foxy knew: war.
The little elf also liked that game. It was war, wasn't it? She always won wars! Looking at her cards, Else was sure of her victory.
But then, Louise smirked, and her tails waggled. Finally, she thought.
And in the next second, the two girls dropped their last cards.
"I won! Haha! I will beat master now!" Louise stood up with a speed that blew away all the cards.
She ignored the little girl and ran toward her beloved, leaving Else alone. She disappeared as fast as she stood up, so Else took a few seconds to realize what had happened.
'I lost.' Else bit her lips and held her tears back.
She felt certainty strange. She had never tasted real loss in her life, and everyone kept spoiling her. Of course, she didn't understand that and believed she was too talented. However, this little elf was by no means a stupid girl. Now that the real world greeted her, Else understood she had it way too easy in her home!
'If normal people can beat me in games and hurt my nose, it means everyone at home could do it!' Else's eyes twinkled as she understood the reality.
It was pretty impressive, actually.
[My nose is unbreakable right now!]
"I see!" Else exclaimed happily. "I understand that quote now!"
Understanding the famous quote about losing to shape yourself, Else picked up the cards and prepared for another night with the vampiress and more games with others.
Soon, Leon ran to her side and blankly stared at her.
"I thought you'd be crying." Leon smiled and helped her gather the rest of the cards.
Else shed one tear but quickly wiped it off and looked away from her savior. "I wanted to cry but stopped because I'm better than others. I'll soon beat your adorable fox! And I'll sleep a whole night with the vampiress without waking up!"
"No, I won't let you sleep with Celes again." Leon shook his head, not wanting to see the horrific face again.
But Else was persistent and said she would sneak into Celes' sleeping bag if Leon refused her! That idea terrified him as no one knew what sleeping Celes would do to this little girl! Leon imagined her suffocating this small elf with her chest!
That would be a disaster.
"Sleep in your sleeping bag, and don't let her come too close."
"I got you! It's the first-hand experience that I've always needed! When I return home, no one will recognize me!" Else broadly smiled and rubbed her little nose.
It was healed as Leon didn't lack money to leverage his system shop.
Else turned around and asked her savior. "Leon! I haven't seen the dragon for like six days! Where is she? I wonder what she can teach me about!"
"She's sick. Give her some time to rest, then Alexandra will teach you about horses and kitties." Leon smiled and patted the little girl's hair, making her nod cutely.
These two played a few war games and enjoyed their presence.
At the same time, the adorable fox and lazy vampiress looked at them from afar.
"We have a problem."
"We have."

"Master likes her too much."
"Isn't it because Master had plans with his dead fiancée? He wanted to be a father before coming here."
"What about you? Have you ever thought of being a mother?"
Hearing that question, Louise cast a cold and narrowed gaze at the vampiress. How could she think of being a mother when her own family had sent her to the special school pretty early, and then she didn't have any life experience and strength to make her own decisions?
She never thought that far. "See?"
"I was content with my sworn sisters and work for Her Highness… Never felt a need for a man, let alone to create a family… My house didn't lack descendants…." Celes faintly smiled and added. "But now I know more about myself. I want a man, I want more than just sucking blood… I want to dirty myself with the master."
Louise didn't expect to hear the last sentence. "I agree with your last words."
"Oh, I don't doubt that. At least we must be pretty honest about it." Celes smirked and fished out her booze, leaning onto the carriage. "The Nine-Tailed Star. I'm pretty sure that the demon was right about your identity. Since you even killed The Dragon reaching out for you, you don't have to worry about your other selves having plans for kids."
Louise was a virgin, and her past seemed too dangerous to play a house.
Even Louise didn't bother arguing with the vampiress about that. "I'll ignore that for now."
"Will you search for clues about your past, though?" Celes asked.
"Clues will come to me." Louise smirked, knowing about her master's knack for getting into trouble. "Anyway, we should change our mindset a little. I don't think a kid would be a problem for us. I heard that people change when they become parents, so we can't exclude the possibility of us becoming doting parents. At most, we'll have to do our best for around twenty years and let the kids see the world for themselves."
"You became so cold. Smile more. At least try." Celes shrugged, not agreeing and disagreeing with her friend.
Louise chuckled. "I'd rather smile genuinely. One peek into Master's eyes, and I smile, so I don't have to worry about that… Only he can bring out the adorable Louise from within me."
"Ah, so you, too, no longer believe you have any warm memories within you. That makes The Oracle your great benefactor, Louise. I don't think Master would be able to convert your other parts of memories into his adorable foxy." Celes seriously glanced at the adorable fox, only to see her nodding.
The vampiress decided to not pursue that topic and returned to the previous one. "We have to mind that kid more. I'll pretend to be asleep and make some fake moves to make it seem like I've thrashed in the bed again."
"Can't you fix those sleeping habits?" Louise replied with a hint of annoyance.
"Let me cuddle with Master, and I'll have them in check." Celes sneered.
Louise spat and lifted her chin to force Celes to continue.
"You'll let that kid win against you and flaunt her knowledge. I don't know, be dumb? Remember your first twenty years of life and adapt. Don't be too obvious. She's really smart and adaptable — I expected her to cry and complain now, too — so be careful, or you will fail." Celes finished her words.
Louise unfolded her arms and headed to her portable kitchen. "She's with us until we reach Heaven Library Guild. If I fail, I'll just listen to her cries. Couldn't care less about her feelings."
Celes watched over Louise's back, whose tails silently and lazily flapped behind her ass. "She spent one hundred years in a jungle like a loyal servant. So much for a life experience." She sighed and whispered. "If only our master can bring out your adorable side — the real you that you are so bothered to keep in your heart — then doesn't it mean you'll be the first to change upon getting knocked up? She'll breed more than rabbits."
Celes laughed aloud, wanting to make a bet with someone about Louise's future, then checked her breath.
She couldn't smell liquor next to that kid.
It was so obvious.
"I wish you were around me to place some bets. I'd win tons of money." The vampiress' gorgeous face momentarily flashed with a faint yearning to see her close family.
