Alex's secondary house in the Avalon.

In the living room, Alice sat on the sofa while Wu Yan used her lap as a pillow. He's taking it easy with a beautiful girl giving him a lap pillow.

Alex enjoyed the moment as Alice fed him food.

"If I can get this kind of treatment every morning then I don't mind waking up early from now on."

Alice faintly smiled when she heard Alex's comment. He chuckled as Alice blushed. She turned the other way much to Alex's amusement.

He examined Alice once more.

It was safe to say the current Alice was very well-endowed. Her looks are also absolutely stunning, her beauty is on par with almost any member of Alex's harem.

Alex got too wild with her last night. That experience gave Alice a glow that only served to magnify her charm. She was now a lady that can enslave souls with her beauty. Her personality is also very attractive.

This soft and warm side of hers could be seen in their current situation.

Unlike Noire, she wasn't that prideful nor she was too cold. Alice is very gentle and elegant. She is a very soft and warm girl.

Like right now, she was feeding Alex food like a nurse.

He exhaled slightly after taking another look at Alice's charming face.

If he knew dragging Alice into the sheets would mellow her out like this, he would have hastened the seizure of her clam fortress.

Two days of pure bliss passed in a flash and Alex was brought into another illusion.

This time it was about a certain empress's sister.

•••••

"…"

"…"

Alex woke up to see a purple-haired lady staring at him with her face mere inches away from his face. Somehow, she sneaked into his blanket and straddled him while supporting her chin with her palms. She just observed Alex quietly like that.

His heterochromia eyes met her purple eyes. They stared at each other for 5 minutes. The air became eerily quiet.

As to how they arrived at this awkward position, that was something for the detectives to figure out. Alex hadn't a single clue.

His brain overclocked as he tried to compute the situation.

'What the hell is this situation?'

He was sure they already buried their hatchet after a peaceful and win-win resolution after he beat her in a fight over Sera. They were no way near close enough to sneak into each other's homes even after he was saved from an enemy's ambush, snatching her from the jaw of death.

After that, she swore to serve him and he accepted. But, her action of sneaking into the house of her benefactor and invading his bedroom would suggest she misunderstood her role.

No, maybe she didn't, Alex was the wrong one.

"…"

…"

The two stared at each other for another 5 minutes. Finally, Alex was the first one to speak up.

"So, mind telling me what is going on here?"

Althea replied as if she expected this.

"Get up."

"Ha?"

"Get up, now."

"Why?"

"Sera said so."

"Sera?"

"Yes…"

"Okay, I am going to need you to be more specific." Alex felt his head throbbing but he decided to endure this, everything was for the sake of his goal, and he must not give up so easily.

"Morning, 7 a.m., I came knocking on the door at 6:30:34. About 3 seconds later, Sera answered my call and 15 seconds later opened the door for me. Following that…"

"Wait. I am sorry, I shouldn't have posed a question like that." Alex felt like he was talking with a robot, he got the cold feet.

Alex inhaled deeply. He wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead.

"I am going to ask you a series of questions which I expect you to answer 1 by 1." He stated while Althea nodded.

"No problem."

"Firstly, why are you at my house?" He asked.

"Maria told me to come here. She said she had something to discuss."

"Discuss, you say?"

Alex frowned after recalling something, the setting of this illusion.

"Is it about the traitor? Why did she agree to host a talk like that here?"

"It is fine."

Althea replied.

"Maria said my presence will make Sera scamper off with poor excuses."

"O-oh, I see." 

Alex nodded in understanding before moving to the next question.

"Okay? Why did Sera tell you to wake me up?"

Althea's eyebrows jolted for a second.

"I don't know. If I had to venture a guess then it's probably due to my attempts to increase intimacy with her. She used you as an excuse to run away."

"It seems like you knew exactly what happened."

Alex retorted while massaging his arching temple. He then raised his next question.

"Why did you wake me up like this?"

"To test my theory." Althea calmly answered.

"Hah?"

Alex felt like he had just heard something ridiculous.

"To test my theory."

Althea repeated her previous sentence with the same calmness.

"I only have data on using "friendly" moves on females. I don't have any data on how to wake up males. So, I decided to create an experiment."

"Where did you get your inspiration?" Alex didn't want to ask nevertheless for the sake of the progression of this illusion he still did.

"From a book."

Althea said looking at the stunned Alex before continuing.

"A book that you can only rent at a certain bookstore."

"I don't need you to tell me that!" Alex retorted automatically.

He felt tired, so massaged his temple multiple times.

"To summarize, Sera ran off because of you, and you did as she said to come to wake me up. Not knowing how to approach this, you decided to experiment and settled on this method?" Alex summarized with difficulty.

"Correct." Althea's answer was calm as always.

"Hmm, I am going to ask just in case."

Alex had a forced smile.

"If I didn't wake up in time, what would you have done?"

"…"

Althea paused for a brief moment.

"The book mentioned that a certain extremity on males tends to be energetic in the morning. My working theory was that you would wake up if that region is given enough stimulation."

''Cough! Cough! Cough!!''

Alex choked on his saliva. He may possess an extremely powerful physics but his face turned dark when he almost choked to death on his spit.

"I feel like I have to ask, how were you planning to deliver said 'stimulation'?"

"Licking."

Althea elaborated with the same calm face since the beginning which was an exploit in itself.

"Although there are multiple contemporary approaches. My analysis suggested that licking the male organ would lead to the optimal pleasure level required for consciousness."

"…"

Alex was gobsmacked, he was not sure how he should answer her.

Is he turned on?

A little if truth be told.

This stunning lady just offered to wake him up with a blowjob.

Regret?

A little.

He woke up too early.

However, there was still another bad taste in his mouth.

Alex stared at Althea who wasn't even flustered or embarrassed by her actions and words.

"Aren't you afraid that Sera might misunderstand our relationship?"

"No problem."

She replied.

"Love is blind to gender. It is also indifferent to the number of partners. I will make Sera look at me through my actions."

Alex felt his head splitting.

'So she is into girls? It's why Sera never liked working with her.' He thought.

"Here's the problem, Sera already ran away."

Alex reminded her.

"Shiori just isn't ready yet."

Althea explained.

"Moreover, I chose that method because it is you."

"Because it is me?"

Alex became anxious.

"What do you mean?!"

"You're my savior!"

Althea said.

"So, it's fine."

"You're thankful so it's fine?"

His heart couldn't keep up.

It seems like making up with Althea didn't pan out as well as he thought.

Given Alex's bitter look, Althea reckoned she needs to verbally verify Alex's intention.

"Don't you prefer to have your energetic male extremity sucked on?"

Alex was conflicted by his thoughts. He bitterly laughed.

"I-I mean, it's relative to the situation and the participants..''

"To recapitulate-"

Althea nailed it.

"-You like it."

''Cough Cough!"

Alex coughed again.

Althea took that as a green light.

"Allow me to do a live demonstration."

She ducked down in his blanket.

"Wait… Not you! Oh…~"

°°°°°

One hour later in the living room.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Maria sat on the sofa while staring at Althea who had a glow to her skin.

Meanwhile, Alex spotted a dazed look. She knew something was up so she frowned.

"What happened between you two? Did I miss something?"

"..."

Althea and Alex twitched simultaneously. One shook his head while the other continued sitting there like a cool cucumber. Maria narrowed her eyes at the duo. She snorted.

"Actually, I don't care what you two did," Maria said before continuing.

''We have a meeting to uphold so I want your total focus, especially you Althea, don't go jumping on Sera the moment you see, do you get it?'' 

''Affirmative.'' 

''Good, let's wait for the others to come out,'' Maria said with her legs crossed and Alex couldn't help but give them a few glances, they're beautiful as always he thought.
