Sins Paradise: Domination System-Chapter 54: The Calm Day I Dreamed Of
A/N: I finished the for Castle faster than I thought. Here are 3
With that matter done, I changed back into my uniform and put the Paladin uniform in my inventory. Sana said I should bring it with me, so I did.
King Cassius returned to the Royal Capital. He left a message for me to look after his daughter if possible, to which I replied positively.
It had been a day; I guess Alexander must've gotten used to his newly acquired power.
Eliza had also grown, so she wouldn't be defeated by a mere borrowed power. And currently, I walked back to my mansion to check if my lovely childhood friend was willing to go to the academy together if she had already woken up.
The conversation with the King ended faster than I had expected. And the first class was still in an hour. So we had time to have breakfast and such. I also wanted to get the news from Garcia about the information given by Sandra.
If the information matched the one the spies gave me, I would be delighted because I had a test subject for something in my little experiment. When I passed the Academy earlier, I noticed Emilia and Rania were in the same room through the <Presence Detection>.
I guessed they exchanged information they got from the spies. Neat. Everything went exactly as I had expected.
When I reached my mansion, just like before, the gate was opened by itself, and I walked inside. The five dots inside, one blue and four yellow, quickly moved to the entrance after noticing the gate was opened.
I noticed one blue dot walking slowly toward the entrance too, which belonged to Eliza.
'She has woken up, huh?'
That was good. I thought the deep sleep would continue for 2 or 3 days, considering her Level just shot up from around 8 to 25 at once.
Slowly, I opened some fun mysteries about this world's rules. At least I had something to spend my time for, and I was really happy with that. My days were no longer filled with fights and tensions.
And as I got close to the entrance, the two giant doors were pulled open from inside by the twins, revealing the lobby as well as three nuns, Milea, Garcia, and Mia from the left to right, who lined up adjacent to each other, greeting me.
"Welcome home, Paladin."
Eliza stood behind the three nuns with a wry smile, looking at me with a gaze that literally said, 'what the hell is this?' mixed with some confusion.
I only smiled at her and then turned to the nuns. "Good work. You can return to your place again. And Milea, prepare breakfast for two, please."
"Certainly!" The blonde-haired cheeky nun replied and went to the kitchen.
The others also nodded and returned to their post; only Garcia stayed, as her duty was to serve and guide me. She approached me and stood right by my side. As usual, her clothes were really open, and her breasts jiggled with each of her movements.
As they scattered back to their posts, I looked at Eliza.
"Good morning, Eliza."
"G-Good morning…" She replied, still a bit confused. "What the hell was that?"
"Their usual greetings," I replied as I walked toward her. Garcia followed right behind me. "More importantly, are you okay? Is there something wrong with your body?" I asked her while looking at her from toe to head carefully.
She was still wearing her uniform, but it was already cleaned nicely by the nuns. I remembered that there was a patch of dirt here and there on her white and blue Academy uniform.
"Right! About that!" As if she had just realized it, Eliza raised her voice in a happy tone. "My status increased like crazy, Arthur! My INT reached 30, and the other passed 20! Also, my <Wind Magic> is now Lv 2! That's crazy!"
Her smile widened as she rambled like before. She couldn't contain her happiness as she got stronger. While she was rambling about how she was really happy about her sudden increase in strength, I used <Appraisal> to look at her status screen.

Her LUC was really high, as expected from a main heroine. And the other grew nicely, although her status was really built for a magician.
The fact she had already attained Lv 2 Wind Magic in her first year at Royal Academy only showed how talented she was. Skills proficiency only grew faster when people used it to fight or hunt monsters.
"That's why Arthur! Thank you… I really am happy you brought me yesterday." Tears of happiness dripped from the edge of her eyes. A big smile plastered on her face as she looked at me with her honest blue eyes.
Notification about the progress in her requirements rang in my head. The requirement to make her spill her honest feeling was now 4/5; just once more, and it would be done.
I needed to refuse her requests 8 more times, though. That would be a bit hard but manageable in a month or so.
"You're welcome," I replied while wiping her tears with my hand. She didn't resist or dodge me, only stayed there and let me help her. "Let's go to the dining room. Milea's cooking is really delicious, you know? After that, we need to go to the Academy too."
"Un."
We then headed for the dining room. Eliza was surprised by how big and luxurious my mansion was, and I joked about whether she wanted to live here with me or not.
That made her seriously consider it, and she said she needed some time to think about it because she also had a friend back in the dorm. Her friend was the reason why she hesitated a bit. She didn't want to make her friend feel lonely.
The breakfast was delicious. This time, Milea didn't show up in the dining room. Maybe because Eliza was with me this time, that cheeky nun didn't make any attempt to seduce me. At least she knew how to hold back.
However, I remembered my promise to her for tonight. That might be the real cause for her to hold back.
Anyway, after breakfast, I went to the Academy with Eliza. We walked through the street, and many people who attended this morning's prayer greeted me with a smile.
Once again, Eliza looked at me curiously, and I explained what I had done before I returned to the mansion. She didn't expect it and was surprised. And then she pouted because she missed this morning's prayer.
I laughed in a low voice. She looked rather cute when she was pouting. And then, we arrived in front of the Royal Academy, and that was when something troublesome happened.
"You!"
A familiar voice shouted at me. I stopped with Eliza and turned around to the source of the voice. As Eliza noticed who had called out to me, her expression soured. But that person didn't really care.
"Come with me for a minute! I have something to talk to you about."
