Chapter 152 Love Guidance 2
The night after Logan had made his three monarchs, the boy was setting his bed to sleep, humming happily as the date with Lisa had gone better than he expected.
They ate ramen, which she loved, walked around town, and had fun looking through various shops. They even went to the cinema to watch one of Marie's movies about a trash disposal robot in outer space. The movie had a short introduction by Marie, explaining what a robot was and what space had, which impressed the audience.
Logan had just arrived home and was grading himself, especially since he did not try hard to kiss Lisa, which was his ultimate plan to end the night. Thinking about this, he scratched his hair in exasperation.

He was just too green and couldn't go through with it. He could easily hold her hand, but her face had become too lovely, and he got way too nervous to get close enough to plant a kiss.
He knew that when she went back to her room, she was expecting something. Just thinking about this made him sit down and cover his face with his hands to avoid feeling the embarrassment.
As he was doing this, he felt someone tap his shoulder. Looking up, he saw a girl in a negligee standing in front of him.
"Alma?" Logan tried to call out, but the girl covered his mouth with her hand.
"Are you crazy? You're going to make someone come here to check on you…"
Logan could not understand the girl's actions and sat helplessly, unable to look away from her body without blushing.
"What are you doing here and why are you dressed like that… you almost gave me a heart attack…" Logan tried his best to keep his eyes on her face.
"Well, I wanted the juicy details, of course. I saw how you two entered together and I want to know why you didn't take the next step, idiot. Did you not see her face of disappointment at the end?" Alma said with a bit of anger in her voice.
"Well, I wanted to but…" Logan tried to explain his reason but came up short.
"But you couldn't. Is it because you're wavering or because..." Alma tugged her sleeve to the side just enough to make Logan look away.
"Yeah, that's it, huh? Well, Logan, we need to get you used to women. I wonder why you haven't already, though, being around so many... then again, they are as shy as you are. No way you will progress like that, right?" Alma then sat next to him.
Logan didn't know how to answer, but the sweet smell of flowers was driving him crazy. He feared looking at Alma, whose negligee barely covered a few centimeters below where it should.
"Well, first things first, you will need to spend more time with each one, get used to it but now on purpose... Tomorrow you're going to the mine, right?" Alma nestled herself a little closer.
"Right, the mine, I need to go get Kryst and check on Serana…" Logan gulped as he felt Alma's shoulder get closer to his.
"That's good, you need to work on your skills, and I'm not talking about taming. For your first test, you need to get her to admit her feelings. Get your vampire to talk about herself and don't make small talk. You keep doing that, which is a put-off. Get deep and understand who she is, what she likes, and tomorrow you'll have to tell me how it goes. Now I know it's been a long day, so let's leave it at that." Before getting up, Alma poked Logan's cheek.
"And quit blushing over stuff like this, Logan. You're not a kid anymore…" Alma smiled before whispering in his ear.@@novelbin@@
"You know… it's hard to understand why you're doing this, but I will do what you say. I do feel dumb for not having kissed Lisa, so I will improve." Logan slapped his cheeks and suddenly got up and held Alma by the waist.
"Here, let me guide you out. Also… take this crystal… we don't want anyone to see you." Logan used Marie's magic to create a crystal that would cause light to help its wielder turn invisible. It was one of the simplest of Marie's spells, but he would need to embed the magic array into the crystal again after its use, making it a one-time use.
"Whoa, you improved right away, huh? Anyways, thanks. I will be back tomorrow. Don't forget," Alma said as she exited his room. Logan sighed once again before going to sleep.
Early the next day, he received news that Valeria wanted to speak to him. She was already sitting in the dining room, eating.
"Logan, I received news that I will need to return to my territory today," Valeria said, eating quickly to hurry up and pack.
"Why? Did something happen?" Logan asked, worried.
"No, nothing yet, but like here, the demons are launching small-scale attacks on villages. I can't be too far from my territory with all this happening, so I will need to go," Valeria said, making Logan think about what he could do for her.
"Do you need anything? Crystals? Take as many as you need… How about one of my beasts to help you?" Logan tried offering.
"No need, my Saber has gotten a pride, so I will be strong enough with them. Thankfully, your power extended to the four he has brought up to his level. Just make sure you don't get reckless, Logan. I've shown you as much as I could; I hope you can improve on that." Valeria got up after finishing her meal and patted his back.
"Now then, I will gather my creatures. You keep doing what you need to do. I know you're busy, and we don't know when the next attack will happen. Just make sure you're ready. Hurry and gather all those you can to help you. The demons are not holding back anymore; this is the real start. And those we have faced—they aren't half as strong as the main army."
What do you think?
