Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 758 INTERLUDE: Scenes of the Pas

[[[Author’s Note: Since Alex and his group has a large schism now, I figured that bringing up their ’good’ encounters before could make their group look a little more... cheerful?]]]

"Big Sis, when will Alex come back?" A little girl with bright black hair asked Alina as the two of them were eating lunch.

"Nom nom nom." Alina, who was preoccupied with her food, had to stop stuffing her mouth as she stared at Kiera.

"Kiera, you should not be worried for Alex. He’s a slippery as eel, and he’s as cunning as a villain." Alina said as she swallowed the food stuffed in her mouth. "You should be more worried to those that will meet him."

"Is Alex really that scary?" Kiera, who had the curiosity of an actual kid, seemed to be not convinced of Alina’s words. "Was he scary to you when you first met him?"

"Well... when we first met, it was actually me who scared Alex." Alina replied as a small smile appeared on her face.

"???" Kiera tilted her head as she heard Alina’s reply. "Big Sis, you scared Alex? How did you do that? Did you try to beat him up? Or did you steal his nose?"

Steal his nose? No, I did not do anything like that." Alina replied with a bemused expression on her face. "You can say... that we had a little misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?"

"Kiera, you’re too young to talk about stuff like this." Before Kiera could bombard Alina with more questions, Alina swooped in to pat her head. "If you want to know the full story, then you should just ask him directly."

"Okay..." Even if she looked a little peeved from Alina’s rejection, Kiera still looked slightly happy. Maybe Alina’s headpats do work on Kiera.

"Nom nom nom." With the little girl’s curiosity appeased, Alina continued on satisfying her appetite.

Minutes later.

"Alina, are you done eating now? I want to spar a little with you..." Once Alina had cleaned up the dishes on her table, she saw Queen Mother, with her green skin and voluptuous body, approaching Alina’s table.

"You want to fight again? But your creations always lose to my Dark Magic." Alina replied as she tilted her head. "Isn’t that a little difficult for you to always replenish them?"

"I know, but through our training together, I managed to create better adaptations for my creations, which will be hopefully useful in our upcoming fights." Queen Mother replied as she sat beside Alina. "If I continue sparring with you, I’m sure I can produce better creations that will be of great help to us. Besides, you also learn new things from our sparring, right?"

"You have a point..." Alina replied as she let out a sigh. "Ok fine, I’ll spar with you right now. However, I just have one condition."

"Condition?" Queen Mother’s eyes widened innocently as she said these words, while Alina started to glare at her. "And what condition is that?"

"Please don’t ogle at my legs when we spar." Alina replied as she placed a palm on her forehead. "Everytime that we spar, I always see your eyes glancing at my legs... At first I thought you were just trying to anticipate my movements, but the longer our spar goes, the more you stared at my legs..."

"Oh, did I do that?"

"You did!" Alina replied as she shook her head. "You’re even doing it now!"

"Well... Alex is always staring at your legs, so maybe I can too?" Queen Mother haltingly said to Alina.

"Alex is Alex, and I am perfectly fine with him." Alina replied as she stared at Queen Mother’s eyes. "You on the other hand, is my friend. Even if you were just admiring my legs, I’m not really that comfortable with it."

"..."

"What would you feel if I look at your legs?" Alina asked Queen Mother. "Wouldn’t you feel uncomfortable too?"

"Well, if a beautiful woman stares at my legs, I will feel a little... excited, hehehe." Queen Mother replied to Alina with an apologetic tone.

"Queen Mother!"

"Ok, ok! I promise to not look at your legs intently anymore." Queen Mother said as she wilted under Alina’s glare. "But can I have a little peek sometimes? Your legs just look perfect... Alex even said that the thinness and thickness of your legs follow the golden ratio..."

Queen Mother then mimed some stroking motions, as she seemed to reminisce something good from her memories. "The only other person with great legs like you was Lauren... and damn, her legs really are one of a kind!"

"Do you want to be chopped down into firewood?" Alina said as she looked at Queen Mother with a smile that was also not a smile. "It’s been a long time since I chopped down a tree. Maybe today is the day that I become Lumberjack Alina again..."

"I’ll behave now, definitely."

"Good."

***************

"Hey, hooman, where’s my honey?" After Alina finished dealing with Queen Mother, it was time for the next mischievous person to come in. "I’m hungry now!"

Obviously, the only one who can say demanding things like this was no other than the dumb fairy Asteria.

"If you want to get honey, you can just get the one that Queen Mother produces." Alina said as she pointed to Queen Mother. "That’s what Alex told you to get, right?"

"But..." Asteria’s boastful appearance deflated a little as she looked at Queen Mother, who looked like she was not trying to laugh.

"But what?" Alina innocently asked Asteria as she tilted her head. "Is there a problem with Queen Mother’s honey?"

"No! Her honey tastes good! Yum..." Asteria replied as drool began to flow from her chin. She then hurriedly wiped it as she glared at Alina. "My problem is the way that I can get her honey!"

"What is your problem with that?" Alina replied as she gave Asteria another quizzed look. "Is there a problem with the way that Queen Mother produces her mil- honey?

"Of course there is!" Asteria replied as she started to look enraged. "Queen Mother... she, she, she produces honey from her breasts! And for me to get that honey, I have to be breast fed by Queen Mother! Isn’t that just plain wrong?"

"What’s wrong with that?" Alina replied as she and Queen Mother smirked at Asteria. "You’re smaller than a baby, and you act like a baby, so there should be no problem, right?"

"No problem my ass!" Asteria replied angrily as she brandished her tiny fists at Alina’s direction. "I’m a Fairy Queen, and doing lowly things like this is not suited for a noble one like me!"

"Oh really?" Alina then started to giggle as she saw the indignant expression on Asteria’s face. "Didn’t you get breast fed with honey by Queen Mother last night? From what I can remember, when Queen Mother finished giving you honey, you grabbed her breasts and bit it as you demanded her to give you more. You even licked the leftovers that dripped on her arms! Now, is that something that a Fairy Queen should do?"

"Bad hoomans! You’re bullying me again! Just you wait until Alex comes back here! He will punish you for me!"

"Oh really?"

"Argh!"
