There weren't many foods Jeanne used to set off a romantic atmosphere, so Aiden wasn't full. Thinking that Jeanne was sleeping so deeply, she probably wouldn't wake up in the morning, so he forked over the steak on Jeanne's plate and ate it himself.
Afterward, he began cleaning the dining table, washed the dishes and put them in place, then took a set of clean clothes from the system space and entered the bathroom.
After quickly taking a shower, Aiden returned to Jeanne's room. Looking at the witch lady who was still sleeping soundly, he hesitated for a moment, and in the end still climbed into bed.
Lifting the quilt and crawling in, Aiden pulled the witch's body into his arms. Feeling the witch's alluring figure, he suppressed the trace of fantasy in his heart, yawned, and then closed his eyes.
———
In the blink of an eye, the night passed.
When the morning sunlight shone on Jeanne's face through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the witch who had slept all night finally woke up.
"My head hurts!" The sunlight was glaring, Jeanne didn't open her eyes, just raised her hand to hold her forehead.
Witches weren't ordinary humans, but she had taken too much potion last night, so after waking up, she felt like her head was going to explode.
'That damn succubus, don't let me run into you again next time, otherwise…'
Although her head still hurt a little, Jeanne's mind was very clear. Thinking that she had actually been tricked by a succubus, she was instantly very angry.
But soon, she noticed that she seemed to be lying on someone's body.
'Could it be…'
The witch lady instantly opened her eyes. Sure enough, at this moment she was lying on Aiden's chest.
Jeanne's face showed joy, then suddenly frowned. She abruptly lifted the quilt, looked down, and saw that both their underwear was intact.
This made her both relieved and regretful.
Relieved that her first time wasn't lost without reason. Although she was a witch, witches also value tradition.
Regretful that last night Aiden actually didn't take the opportunity to claim her.
Two completely opposite emotions conflicted with each other, so Jeanne became entangled.
'I really shouldn't have taken that much potion last night.' She then thought in frustration.
However, just as she was regretting what she did last night, Aiden's teasing voice came to her ears, "I thought you wouldn't wake up for the whole morning."
The witch lady lowered her head and made eye contact with the man beneath her. Seeing the teasing look in his eyes, she didn't know why, but felt a bit annoyed.
She snorted coldly, "With such a good opportunity last night, didn't you think of doing anything to me?"
She had forgotten what she had just been relieved about.
Hearing this, Aiden was stunned for a moment, scratched his head with a finger, and asked in confusion, "Last night I…"
But before he finished speaking, the witch lady lying on him changed her posture and directly straddled his abdomen.
To be honest, morning was when a normal man's fire was strongest, let alone that he had hugged Jeanne to sleep all night. So he instantly had a reaction.
Feeling the change beneath her, Jeanne's face flushed slightly. But she was originally a bold woman, or rather, all witches were bold women.
So, she snapped her fingers, and the curtains of the master bedroom's floor-to-ceiling window closed automatically.
Although the sunlight was blocked by the curtains, the room didn't get darker, because at this moment Jeanne had already removed all the last restraints from her body, her fair body giving off a tempting glow.
At this moment, Jeanne pressed her hands on Aiden's chest, licked her lips, and said, "Darling, let's research the process of creating humans together…"
At this moment, Aiden naturally would not refuse. But vaguely, he heard two dissatisfied snorts echo in his mind.
———
After showering, Aiden came to the dining room. Although it was already past ten in the morning, Jeanne still prepared breakfast… One had to say, the witch's stamina was really good. After tossing around for more than an hour, she could still move freely as if nothing happened.
Aiden sighed inwardly, then picked up a sausage with his fork and started eating.
At this time, Jeanne, who was wearing only a silk nightgown that covered the tops of her thighs, placed a glass of milk in front of Aiden, then walked toward the bedroom with long strides.
Aiden noticed that beneath the hem of the silk nightgown lifted by her steps, she didn't seem to be wearing anything.
But now was not the time for admiration.
"Aren't you going to eat something?" Aiden asked from behind her.
Jeanne paused her steps, turned around, lightly patted her lower belly, and said with a double meaning, "I'm already full, you know!"
Seeing Aiden's twitching mouth corner, the witch lady giggled and continued, "I still have class this afternoon, I need to put on makeup first, so I'll eat breakfast and lunch together later."
Aiden took another bite of sausage, chewing as he asked, "Do you want me to go to school with you?"
"So it's convenient for you to catch up on sleep, huh?" Jeanne immediately rolled her eyes at him.
"No, I just thought wandering around the school might be nice." Aiden said awkwardly. He really didn't like studying.
"And then gather a pile of contact info from buzzing bees and fluttering butterflies again?" Jeanne squinted her eyes.
"I'm not interested in ordinary girls." Aiden said with a straight face, "I'm only interested in witches like you."
"Witches like me are rare in this world. Besides me, only…" Jeanne said this and then frowned slightly. She remembered Balder's command.
'Cereza, my dear sister, where are you now?' she thought.
She shook her head slightly, looked at Aiden, and suddenly fell into deep thought again.
Looking at Jeanne, who had suddenly fallen into deep thought, Aiden did not speak to disturb her. He simply continued eating breakfast, glancing at her from time to time.
He could guess that it was probably his earlier words that reminded her of the only other remaining witch… Bayonetta.
However, he also noticed that the expression in Jeanne's eyes kept changing. At first it was nostalgia, then contemplation, then hesitation, and finally, it became firm and decisive, like a nail driven into wood.
Heaven knows why Jeanne's expression was so complicated. Aiden couldn't help but look at her in confusion, his mouth slightly open, wanting to speak.
Just then, the silver-haired witch's gaze returned to clarity. But instead of going to the bedroom to put on makeup, she returned to the dining table and sat opposite Aiden.
Then, she spoke, startling words. "Darling, do you want to keep a lover outside?"
"Pff!"
The milk that Aiden had just drunk nearly sprayed out of his mouth. He didn't even bother to wipe his lips, shocked as he asked, "Jeanne, what are you saying?"
He knew that witches' trains of thought were different from normal people's, but this… this wasn't ancient times. Why did it feel like a wife voluntarily asking her husband whether he wanted to keep a mistress outside?
His thoughts hadn't yet caught up.
Jeanne raised a finger, wiped the milk that had splashed onto her face, and nonchalantly sucked it into her mouth.
Then she said calmly, "Aiden, I have a very, very close sister. Like me, she's also a Shadow Witch."
"And?" Aiden knew who she was talking about and continued to ask.
"And… she and I are the only two Shadow Witches left in this world." Jeanne paused slightly as she said this, then continued, "You still don't understand?"
"So… what you mean is?" Aiden finally sorted out his train of thought.
The silver-haired witch nodded, her tone somewhat troubled, "Although I'm a little unwilling, she's my best friend, no exceptions. So I don't want our relationship to grow distant just because I now have you."
"At the same time, I'm worried that if she falls for someone else, she might drift away from me. So, lucky you, I've decided to be generous."
"When we find my good friend, if you have the ability, you'd better win her over too. That way, my sister and I will never be apart."
"Well? Isn't that tempting?" she continued.
To say it wasn't tempting, of course that would be a lie. But Aiden still showed a very bewildered expression. "But…"
"No 'buts.' Just tell me if you agree or not," Jeanne suddenly said sternly. "I don't mind, what are you hesitating for?"
'I'm not hesitating…'
"Then… alright." Aiden pretended to think for a moment and then nodded firmly.
Seeing Aiden nod, the silver-haired witch let out a light snort. Actually, she had hoped Aiden would hesitate a little longer, but in the end, she said nothing more.
After a while, seeing that Aiden had finished the food on his plate, Jeanne spoke again.
"Aiden, my good sister is currently in a certain country. I hope you'll find time to go to that country and help me find her."
"Then why don't you go look for her yourself?" Aiden asked in return.
"Of course I'll go find her, but…" Jeanne trailed off here. It wasn't that she didn't want to continue, it was that she couldn't.
Seeing Jeanne's expression of wanting to speak but stopping, Aiden naturally understood what was going on. It must be that the restriction Baldur placed on her had taken effect, making her unable to speak clearly.
So, in his mind, he asked, 'Tell me, what should I do?'
After a while, a cold voice sounded, ["Go find that b*tch."]
'Didn't you say the night before last that you could do it?' Aiden's mouth twitched. 'What happened to keeping your word?'
["Didn't you initially think I was a demon? And you trust what a demon says?"] a mocking laugh echoed.
Aiden was stunned and was just about to say something nice when another seductive voice rang out, ["I'm busy. Go beg that b*tch."]
Aiden, '…'
'You two can't be serious!' Aiden thought helplessly. 'And we even signed a contract. Shouldn't we help each other?'
At that moment, both voices said in unison, ["The contract I signed with you is an equal contract. Unless your life is in danger, I have no obligation to help you."]
Aiden, '…'
'Forget it, you two are totally unreliable.' Aiden didn't know what had gotten into the two of them, why they suddenly went back on their word. He could only let out a cold snort and forcibly blocked them in his mind.
