Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits-Chapter 273 You brat, you dare lay your hands on my pupil?

?"Are you back…?"

Vaan questioned with a sleepy look on his face as he sat up, supporting his back with the bed's headrest and rubbing his right eye.

Elara glanced at him with a deadpan look on her face and,

"When are you going to wake up, it is already afternoon."

"I feel tired…" Vaan replied.

"You have been saying that for 2 days now, even Furr has recovered now," Elara complained.

"Aauu!!"

On the other hand, Furr, who was sitting on Elara's shoulders barked loudly, as if showing that he had regained his previous energy.

"I don't know… I just don't feel like moving." Vaan spoke, sinking back into the bed. An act that made Elara pout.

"Stop being lazy! You even skipped your Magic training yesterday."

"Ugghh… alright alright mom, I will wake up soon." Vaan groaned as he rolled over the bed, making Elara's mouth twitch.

"Hehe~"

Flamey laughed.

"Mom~"

Breezy was even more brazen as she flew towards Elara and started circling around her head.

Splashy on the other hand was sitting on Vaan's forehead, playing with his black-purple hair. With how focused she looked, she seemed like she was trying to discover something.

Elara, who could clearly sense that the 2 spirits were trying to tease her, couldn't believe how she was betrayed in an instant.

These little girls!

No matter how much she spoiled them and how much they said that they loved her, when it came to Vaan, they were always on his side and while Elara didn't mind that normally, at times like these, she felt jealous.

She wanted those 3 adorable girls on her side as well.

As if he sensed those emotions, Furr started licking Elara's cheek, making the girl smile.

Vaan, who sensed that, opened his eyes, then, he stared right at Furr and,

"Try as much as you like little buddy, that girl is mine. You won't be stealing her from me."

Saying those words, Vaan quickly got up, grabbed Elara, pulled her close to him before the two fell on the bed again. Using the chance, Vaan grabbed his fiancée from behind, hugging her as if she were a body pillow.

The Mage then closed his eyes and,

"This is perfect."

"Furr could have gotten hurt…" Elara complained.

"We have healers, don't worry." Vaan shrugged, with his fingers, he started gently drawing circles around Elara's waist, an intense feeling of comfort washed over Elara's body and knowing that this was bad, Elara tried to resist,

"V-Vaan… I need to train my magic…"

"Mm. We will do it together when I am awake."

"You said the same thing yesterday and both of us skipped our training."

"Stop overthinking, just close your eyes, I promise it will feel good," Vaan spoke as he patted Elara's head. Elara pouted, she wanted to resist, however, the comfort she felt was simply too much for her to resist.

She didn't like how her body seemed to give into Vaan's persuasion every single time.

"Did Furr have his breakfast?"

Suddenly, Vaan questioned.

"Aauu!!"

Furr, who was currently on Elara's other side barked.

Elara nodded as well.

"His apatite has increased ever since we formed the Bond. Before, he was satisfied with just 200 grams of Magic Beast meat, but he ate around 1000 grams today."

"Today as well?" Vaan was surprised.

"Mhm." Elara nodded.

She had ignored it yesterday because she believed that the little guy needed energy after forming the bond but since it happened again, she couldn't ignore it anymore.

Vaan turned silent as well, thinking about what possibly caused this.

After all, this was not normal, not that anything related to him was ever normaltobegin with… but still…

"So this is how it is, huh…"

Just as Vaan and Elara were lost in their thoughts and were enjoying each other's presence, they heard a voice. A voice that sent shivers down their spines.

Elara's reaction was strong, her body was jolted awake, quickly separating from Vaan as she stood up, tidied her clothes at stared at the woman in front of her. All of this happened under a second, a speed that would have normally surprised anyone who saw it.

Right now, however, thingsweredifferent.

Vaan, who had frozen for a second, mechanically moved his head towards the woman who just barged into his room and with a strained smile on his face, hegreeted.

"M-Mother…"

"You little brat, what the hell are you doing in the bed at this time!? Stand up!"

Hearing that voice, just like Elara, Vaan was jolted awake as well, moving away from the bed and kneeling on the ground as if he was prepared for the execution.

Elara moved close to him and did the same.

"Auu…"

Not wanting to be left out, Furr walked in front of the two of them and crouched with his little legs.

Of course, the 3 spirits weren't any different.

Seeing the scene in front of her (Astra cannot see the spirits), Astra's mouth twitched. She, however, wasn't planning to forgive them this quickly,

"You two have decided to drop all the formalities huh…

To think the two of you would sleep in the same room when you have yourownroom."

She commented.

"I cannot sleep without Elara being close to me." Vaan's answer was quick.

Astra turned towards Elara and seeing the girl lower her head, not denying those words,

"You brat, you dare lay your hands on my pupil?" Astra was annoyed.

"My wife," Vaan replied, holding Elara's hand.

"…"

Astra didn't know what to say.

She had no clue where this boy inherited this shamelessness from.

Of course, the woman completely disregarded the chances of her being the source of this shamelessness.

After all, she was a proper, noblewoman.

Thinking about all that, Astra decided to drop the topic for a moment, she hadn't come here for normal chitchat.

"So? What was so important for you to leave the Academy and come here for?" She questioned and in an instant, Vaan's face turned serious.
