NOVEL NEXT Chapter 134: What Zakira Knows
"Why didn't you tell us that your system is fixed while we were in the hospital!? All of us have been so worried because of your deadline!" Zakira accuses, sounding pretty angry even though there's a huge smile on her face.
"Yeah, as I said, I totally forgot to mention," I say apologetically.
Currently, we're both at my house, walking up the stairs towards my room. It's not been long since all four of us— me, Zakira, Layla, and Maya— came back home from the hospital.
Obviously, Rebecca was impatiently waiting for us. And as easy as it's to guess, the atmosphere turned emotional again the moment she saw me entering through the door. But that's not where things ended. Once both of us were done showing our affection to each other, I suddenly realized that I haven't yet told anyone that my system glitch is fixed.
At first, everyone was in shock and literally jumped at me at the same time to give me a hug. But then, the next moment, all the women except Rebecca turned angry at me for not telling them this good news earlier.
Sigh…
Anyway, as for why Zakira and I are going to my room— well, it's because I want to talk to her alone. Though this time, just to be safe, I made sure to ask her in front of my other women. I don't want them barging in my room like the last time.
As expected, Rebecca looked slightly jealous, Layla stared at Zakira disapprovingly, and Maya blushed bright red— but none of them tried to stop us.
"So, what do you want to ask me? I mean, I kind of already know but still, I want to hear it from you," Zakira says rather excitedly as we enter my room and close the door behind.
Now that she has stopped acting angry, there's a smug smile on her face for some unknown reason.
"Wait, you already know what I want to talk about?" I asked, surprised.
Well, this certainly makes things easy for me.
"Yes, but I want to request something first," She says, grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the bed.
She gently pushes my chest, making me sit down on the bed before climbing on top of my lap. Once her shapely ass gets comfortable on my thighs, she wraps one of her arms around my neck and slips her other hand inside my pants— grabbing my limp cock.
What the fuck!?
"Why don't you let me drink a little bit of your blood again? Last time, I proved it to you that I can control myself. I think you also remember how good it feels to fuck me while I suck your blood," she says in a very seductive voice, licking my exposed neck with her small and cold tongue while stroking my cock with her thin hands.
"Hey, wait a second!"
I stop Zakira and gently push her away. Though instead of grabbing her shoulders to do so, I grab her tits— because, why not?
"I wasn't planning to ask for sex, Zakira. There is something else, something really important I want to talk about," I say seriously.
[Oh, really? Then why are you fondling her tits, pervert?]
Shut up…
"H-Huh? He… hehe… I already knew. I was just teasing you."
Zakira tries to play it off, but her face turns red as she hastily gets up from my lap. Seeing how embarrassed and regretful she looks, I cannot help but say something to lessen her shame.
"Hey, I am not saying that we are not going to have sex at all. We will do it after the conversation. And you know what? I will even let you drink some of my blood," I say.
What Zakira said earlier is true. Even though I don't like the idea of my blood getting sucked, the pure ecstasy and mind-numbing pleasure I receive during the process is simply unmatched. Now that I know I won't be killed; I don't mind letting Zakira drink my blood once in a while.
"Really!? I am looking forward to it then!"
Zakira's mood brightens up immediately and she jumps on the bed next to me, crossing her legs. I also don't waste any time and start speaking about the matter at hand.
"You see, earlier today, when we met Naomi in the hospital, she actually casted some strange magic on everyone in the vicinity other than me. After that, she took me to a rather secluded corner of the hospital and asked me if I want to visit the Beastkin country after the Magic tournament," I tell her.
"What!? The White goddess invited you to her country!?" Zakira asks, alarmed and in shock. She looks like as if a truck has run over her.
"Yeah, and that's not it. Even Ilyrana, the Elf princess, has requested the same thing. Both of them want to study my core stone because I am one of the top three human students in the magical tournament. They are saying that it's for research purposes and are even allowing me to bring my family.
"Well, to be honest, I found their behavior a bit weird so I wanted to ask if you know what's going on," I continue.
Now, it looks like the truck is on the reverse gear and has run over Zakira again.
"S-So, this is why they weren't falling for my false trails. They have already figured out everything," Zakira mutters, her eyes filled with worry.
"Huh? They have figured out what?" I ask, confused.
…
"Jacob, do you remember when I told you that your friend, Leo, is one of the prime targets?" Zakira asks, looking at me strangely.
"… Yes?" I answer with a frown, getting a bad feeling about this.
Actually, the real reason why people from the four foreign countries— the Elves, the Dark Elves, the Vampires, and the Beastkins— are in our country is because they want to study the students who participated in this year's disastrous System ceremony. They selected a few students who they think are most likely affected by the incident that took place in the World System Tower (WST) and Leo is one of them.
"Well, he's no longer a target. When performed just barely average in the Magic tournament and didn't stand out in any way, we were forced to use some strong detection magic on him. And as it turned out, the magic signatures which lead me to believe that his system is affected were nowhere to be found," She says, shaking her head.
"Oh, so his system is not affected, huh? That's good…" I say, not really feeling happy as I already know what's coming next.
"Yeah, and I don't think I have to tell you who became our next target, right? We were looking for individuals who stood out from the others," Zakira asks in a low voice.
"… Me."
"Yes, but not exactly. Initially, we planned to investigate the top ten students in the tournament— especially the top three. But at that time, you've already told me about your system.
"I was almost sure that you're the one— or one of the people— who's system is affected by the WST incident. After all, it was my first time hearing about a system that has a time limit for leveling up and, even more surprisingly, a system that is glitching," She says.
Fuck…
"Obviously, I didn't talk to you about it at that time. We had much greater worries in our minds. Instead, I secretly tried to distract everyone's attention from you and delay your investigations. In fact, I even thought that I was successful— but I guess I was wrong.
"If I have to guess, Ilyrana and Naomi probably noticed what I am trying to do and privately investigated you. This is why they are trying to invite you to their respective countries," Zakira finishes grimly.
…
"I see… So, you want to invite me to the Vampire Kingdom as well?" I say, chuckling emotionlessly.
"No, I don't. And promise me, Jacob. No matter what happens, you will not accept any of these invitations."
