Chapter 139 Love Guidance
"Alma?" Logan hurried to cover his important parts upon seeing the girl in front of him. Luckily, she wore a swimsuit.
And yet, it was not covering much, leaving Logan with a vivid young man's imagination to run wild.
"Oh? What is this innocent reaction? I thought that by having such a large bath, you would have some experience already?"
Alma smiled deviously while trying to keep her eyes on Logan's face.
"I never had time! Now tell me, what are you doing here?" Logan tried to keep his voice down but it was still loud.
"Calm down, Logan. Let's talk…" Alma settled herself in a corner, cleaning her skin with the mana filled herbal water.
"Are you used to this?" Logan tried to calm himself as his eyes kept sliding towards the girl's direction.

"Oh, are you interested? And stop staring so much… As for your question, no, I have never done or planned to do this. I had to, though. You and Lisa are going way too slow, you know?" Alma took a glance at the boy, who looked confused.
"Slow? What do you mean?" Logan questioned.
"Logan, do you know you have at least five girls who like you? 'Like' might even be a weak word—more like love or are obsessed with you. Now tell me, what have you done for them?" Alma said, her voice soft and lovely but filled with anger to get her point across.
"Five girls?" Logan asked in surprise.
"Only those I saw with my eyes. I don't know if there are more throughout your new town… Don't tell me you haven't seen how Lisa, that redhead Rubina, your maid, the black-haired vampire chick, and poor Marie—who I don't even know how she got here, she was supposed to be with our team in the labyrinth…"@@novelbin@@
Alma did not play around with her words. She needed to set Logan straight before Lisa would be forced into Brian by peer pressure or even worse, through politics.
She hated that boy. She dated Brian during her first year of high school, and it was the worst. She was just a trophy for him.
She felt used after that. Luckily, they didn't even kiss as he got too crazy on their first date while inside a theater and started touching her, earning a good slap in the process.
"They like me?" Alma heard the boy mumble as she took another glance to see his face in disbelief.
Alma sighed, knowing the boy was too pure for this world.
"Yes, Logan, they like you… I want to know if you have chosen already. I know it will be hard with so many beautiful girls, but you need to think about what you're going to do with so many girls around you. Will you pick one, or did you have plans for an otherworld harem?" Alma snickered while saying the last part of her sentence.
"Otherworldly what?" Logan kept repeating her words, not knowing what to say.
"Oh, please, don't tell me you haven't read a webnovel or watched some anime before. I only know because Lisa enjoys that stuff," Alma explained.
"Well, yeah, I know that much, but why would you mention it?"
"Because you need to get your future plans in check before you hurt someone, you need to choose, Logan. I know for a fact there is something more with Lisa than meets the eye… Let me say something—I won't judge you—but I have seen a weird ring mark she keeps hidden. Seeing your naked body now, I know what it is… So now I know for a fact that Lisa can't just go back to Earth without you or that she will even be able to marry or get close to another if it's not you," Alma began to say.
"That vampire chick is probably the same with her. I don't know about Marie or Rubina, but I have no doubt they will ask for the same sooner or later. So Logan, as I see it, it will probably have to be the harem route. Mr. Soul Tamer… Sorry, but Lisa has the power to see everyone's class and stats, and I, of course, asked her about you until she spilled the beans, hehe."
Logan thought about everything he was told. He sort of had the idea of all this but kept it deep within him. Why would he act if he could have made a mistake in his own judgment, especially when he was previously just a loner with no human relationships in the past.
Alma knew the boy was struggling and, of course, also knew Logan in the past.
"Say… Logan… do you happen to remember a fat girl called Pamela in elementary school?" Alma asked while sitting up, covering her torso with her legs as she hugged her knees and placed her chin over them.
"Pa…mela, third grade?"
Alma smiled, happy to know he remembered while recalling a past she tried to forget.
One where she was constantly made fun of for being overweight and ugly. She only remembered two people who helped her during those tough times—Lisa and Logan, who she thought had forgotten her.
Alma's true name was indeed Pamela, but she had her middle and first names switched so she could continue in school after a great change.
Her mother was a professional stylist who had always worked with artists. One of these artists was her father, who was just a one-night stand for her mother. The accident led to Alma's birth and the problems for her single mother.
As she grew older, her weight, which was constantly a problem, was resolved by one of her mother's friends, who had her train in her gym—a gym that many artists used to train before a show or movie.
The only thing she needed after that to enter middle school as a new person was to have her teeth fixed, something that she underwent during the summer before entering middle school.
Sadly, Logan, who had always been with Lisa, was no longer with her. In his place, Alma stuck close to the girl who kept getting more beautiful as she grew.
Alma wanted to keep up with her, so she tried hard to keep improving her looks.
After entering middle school, she was no longer who she was in elementary school. She still needed to fix more of herself, but with time, her mother taught her about makeup, hairstyles, and colors that would help her.
Before high school, she begged her mom to fix her nose, which her mom also hated, and thankfully, her mom consented.
After that, she felt good enough to stand next to Lisa without worrying about people comparing the two. She even had her name changed so those who knew her before would forget who she was.
