After Stealing Hero's Mother, I Reincarnated in the Fantasy World!

Rain rubbed his forehead with his hand, letting out a deep sigh.

'How could this even happen?'

He looked at the two women lying on the red couch in Celestia's office.

"I only went to talk to Sives for a little while, how could this have happened in that time?"

Rain felt a headache coming on. He had come here when he heard from the maids at the manor that his Aunt had returned. Only to see it.

His gaze naturally shifted to Liana, who had also appeared here at some point.

"..."

"..."

As if to confirm that what they were seeing was reality, Liana coughed embarrassedly.

"Ahem, I'll take her."

Liana's cheeks flushed at the sight of her sister.

She saw the state her proud sister was in after drinking the bottle and more importantly, she saw the state of her body after last night.

"What about Aunt Celestia..."

"I'll deal with her myself."

Rain didn't hesitate to intercept her words.

Liana shifted her gaze from him to the nearly unconscious woman lying there for a while, eventually nodding her head.

"Um, okay, Brother."

Picking up her sister, Liana quickly left the office.

Left alone with Celestia, Rain's gaze fell on the already empty bottle that was to blame for what had happened.

He took it and poured a couple drops on his tongue.

Now he understood how they had gotten to this state in less than an hour.

"Rain...Eeeeek...don't go… please...I want you to stay..."

Celestia reached for him and tugged at the edges of his clothes, muttering to herself.

'She's drunk. Completely drunk.'

Celestia was almost in the same state now as she had been after their first 'meeting', lying semi-conscious on the red couch.

The only difference was that Rain hadn't had time to do anything to her yet. And right now, he had no desire to deal with a drunk woman.

He lifted her up and made her comfortable on the couch and covered her with a blanket. Remembering to leave the box of cakes on her desk, he left her office, closing the door tightly.

Rain spent the rest of the day practicing with his sword and honoring his techniques, trying to make as much progress in them as possible. Even though the tournament was over, he still needed the strength to keep going.

The strong takes and the weak gives – an unbreakable truth of this world.

And as someone who didn't want to give anything away, and on the contrary strived to take someone else's, Rain needed that strength.

When he finished his workout and returned to his room after showering, the sun had already set over the horizon, painting the sky with night colors.

"The system still hasn't woken up. Looks like it's going to take longer this time than before."

Rain muttered, looking at the moonlight streaming into his room through the large window.

But regardless of the system's awakening, his plans didn't change.

Evelyn Ezeeria, Gray's Mother.

Tomorrow it was going to start.

And realizing the importance of tomorrow, he decided to go to bed as soon as possible and get a good night's sleep.

Knock knock!

"May I come in?"

But a short knock on the door and the quiet voice that followed changed his plans.

When he opened the door, Celestia appeared in front of him. She tried to say something in greeting, but before she could, her eyes widened.

"Nephew?! Your clothes...!"

He came out topless, shirtless, drops of moisture still glistening on his body.

"Huh? I was getting ready for bed, you know."

She averted her gaze, trying to hide her embarrassment. After all, she was the one who had come to him at this late hour.

While she was doing this, Rain noticed that her clothes were different than they had been in the past.

Unlike the simpler and more carefree attire he had seen her wearing during the day, she was now dressed as one would expect a person of her position to be dressed.

Her long, fiery red hair was gathered into a neat ponytail. She wore a white blouse, a strict but tight-fitting gray plaid skirt, and black stockings.

Feeling his gaze on her, Celestia quickly explained.

"I'm going to meet your mother, but before I do, I thought I'd stop by your place. We need to talk."

"Come in."

She walked awkwardly into his room.

Looking around quickly, she noted that it had changed almost nothing since the last time she had been here.@@novelbin@@

Her luscious breasts bounced in time with her movements as the sound of her heels echoed through the room. She stopped at the large full-length window, turning toward him and biting her lip.

While she didn't know where to begin, he broke the silence.

"I see you're feeling better now."

A smirk appeared on his face as he remembered her condition earlier.

"Ah? Ah! Y-yes… I feel better now."

Celestia averted her gaze again, unable to meet his, but at that moment an unexpected thought came to her.

"Um, Rain. Those cakes that were on my desk when I woke up, did you bring them?"

She'd been too busy yesterday to go to the kitchen and order her favorite cakes, but to think someone had already taken care of it.

"Yes."

His short nonchalant reply made her heart skip a beat.

"Thank you for that. And thanks for not doing anything while I was in that state..."

Rain's eyebrows rose.

"What do you take me for anyway? Even I'm not bad enough to deal with a drunken woman. I have principles, you know."

"That's not what I meant..."

Her timid answer made the smirk on his face grow even wider.

"But, you know, you were kind of sweet back then. Clung to me until the end, mumbling sweet nothings. I almost got diabetes."

"R-really?!"

It wasn't clear from his face if he was telling the truth or just teasing her, but she knew.

'I really could have said something like that...'

Corroding herself for showing herself in such a state in front of her nephew, her hands clenched on her skirt.

'But it further confirms what I have to do now.'

Celestia closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them again, her gaze was serious. The air in the room changed with it, losing some of its lightness and carelessness.

The words for which she had come to him so late were about to burst from her lips.

"Rain, what happened between us that day was wrong. We shouldn't have done it. I'm much older than you... and at the end of the day I'm still your Aunt."

Her voice was stern and allowed for no objections.

"So I hope this improper relationship ends here."

Her words pierced the space, plunging the room into silence.

Many thoughts flew through her head as she waited for his answer, but they were all cut short by his calm voice.

"I get it. Let's break up."

Her eyes twitched as the meaning of his words came to her.

'...Did he really accept it?'

Celestia glanced at him, looking for any inconsistencies, but his face was serious, not allowing for any jokes.

'Yes... it's best for both of us.'

Overcoming invisible resistance, Celestia slowly moved her frozen body, walking towards the exit.

She definitely should have been glad. After all, this was what she wanted.

'Then why do I feel such a loss?'

She didn't know. But despite the bitterness in her heart, nothing could be changed, the words had been said and all she had to do was move forward.

At least she thought so.

Before she even touched the doorknob, she felt a hand tightly squeeze her ass and a deep voice causing her body to tremble entered her ears.

"Did you really think I was going to say that?"
