A Commonplace Story Of Overpowered Sorcerer

Chapter 41 - Rio's Problem with 'Yue'



A few moments had passed since Rio dealt with the monster's problem. How he did that was up to your imagination. Rio was currently sitting on the floor with the n.a.k.e.d Aletia at his left and Liselotte who was chewing the cooked meat of the twin-tailed scorpion to get another skill and extra status points. Rio had eaten his portion and was currently washing off the unpalatable taste of the monster meant with honey.

"Why are you two eating monster meat?" Rio turned at the questioner and saw Aletia's confused expression. Well, she actually had a deadpan expression, but her eyes were glittering with curiosity. Liselotte stopped for a moment before continuing, clearly dumping the job to explain to Rio.

"It's because we can get status increase and new skills after eating new monster. At least, Liselotte does. For me, I only get bonus status points." Rio explained at Aletia. He then offered a piece of the cooked monster's meat for Aletia and said to her, "Do you want to try?"

Aletia shook her head. "No. I pass," She replied, but, right after that, her stomach rumbled with vengeance of 300 hundred years being unfilled.

Rio and Liselotte, who stopped eating again, deadpanned at Aletia. When she became the center of the others' attention, she surprisingly maintained her deadpan. However, if you watch her face closely, you will find that her eyes were trembling and a faint rosy hue appeared on her cheeks. She was clearly embarrassed by that.

"Are you sure? Your tummy seems disagreed with you..." Rio couldn't resist to tease Aletia.

"No. I don't want monster's meat," Aletia replied curtly.

When Liselotte heard that, she snorted before finishing her meal forcefully. She then drank the Ambrosia and washed off the disgusting taste of the monster's meat with the sweet cold treat Rio had prepared for her.

Meanwhile, Rio remembered that Aletia was a vampire. She consumed blood. 'Does this mean that I need to be her bloodbag if I want her as my girl?' Rio finally realized the most crucial thing of taking care of a vampire lover. His expression became complex as he stared at Aletia, who returned his stare expressionlessly.

'Well, there's nothing free in this world, I suppose. Fortunately, I can numb my pain.' Rio made up his mind and offered his left hand for Aletia.

Aletia raised her brows slightly, confused at the gesture. "You're a vampire, yes? If I remember correctly, your kinds consume blood. Since you have agreed to join us, you're now my responsibility. Hence, I'll feed you." Rio explained to the confused Aletia. When Rio found no reaction from her, he became confused and asked her, "Do you have problems with it?"

Aletia moved her eyes and viewed Rio's jugular. She said nothing, but her gaze spoke everything. The corner of Rio's eyes twitched as he thought, 'This girl wants to drink from here, huh? Fine! I reap what I sowed, I suppose.'

Rio allowed Aletia to get a bite on his neck. He pulled his collar and showed his jugular for Aletia. Though he said nothing, Aletia understood the meaning of his gesture. She wasted no time and got closer to Rio. She then circled her slender arms around his neck as she brought her face closer to his jugular. Finally, Aletia comped Rio's neck and started to draw blood.

While Aletia had her meal, Rio turned off his Auto-Regeneration skill but activated the derivative skill Pain Nullification. Aletia leaked out a muffled m.o.a.n as she consumed his blood. Simultaneously, as Aletia embraced his body and tried to fuse her soft body into his, Rio couldn't help but feel weird because of Aletia's e.r.o.t.i.c feeding.

Rio was aroused by Aletia's feminine fragrance and her soft body. Though she had a childlike figure, she was actually a legal. She was older than 300 years old, after all. However, Rio forced down his arousal. He didn't want to get aroused by a childlike body! He wasn't a Lolicon or Pedophile, no Sir! Thank you very much, he passes!

Rio suddenly felt a judgemental gaze on him and woke up from his stupor. He then turned at the source of that gaze, Liselotte, who stared at him with a half-lidded gaze. Though Liselotte said nothing, Rio felt her gaze on him was very hurtful. It feels as if she was accusing him from being a Lolicon or Pedophile, which he was NOT!

Rio threw a wry smile in Liselotte's direction. Liselotte threw her face away as if she didn't want to acknowledge that she knew him. His wry smile deepened when he saw that.

To be honest, Rio wasn't a fan of loli or a woman with a childlike body. He was a staunch believer in sensual m.a.t.u.r.e figure. If he liked Loli, he would attempt to get close to Lilianna, or Suzu Taniguchi, or Aiko Hatayama when he stayed in Heiligh Kingdom.

All those digressions aside, back to the present situation. Aletia finally satisfied her stomach. She pulled back her head but not before l.i.c.k.i.n.g Rio's neck sensually. "Mmmh... Your blood. It's delicious~" she nodded with a dreamy look.

Rio made a weird face when he heard Aletia's review about his blood. He didn't know what's difference in his blood and the others. To him, all blood tasted similar. Salty. However, he chalked it up as vampire's things. Moreover, he had unlimited mana that kept nourishing his physique, so his blood probably tasted delicious from vampire's perspective.

"Well, now, we have fed ourselves. How about giving proper introduction?" Rio decided to start a topic of discussion since they didn't have any problem now. "I'll begin first. My name is Rio Kevin, but you may call me Rio. 18 years old. I come from another world called Earth. Best regards from now on."

Aletia blinked her eyes, seemingly caught off guard by Rio's introduction. Maybe, she never thought Rio from another world. She recovered her ability to think when Liselotte introduced herself next.

"I'm Liselotte Altra. You may already know this, but I am Rio's first lover." Liselotte briefly paused before continuing on. "About me, well, I was born in Heiligh Kingdom but grew up in orphanage after my father, a kingdom's soldier died in a fight against monster's outbreak. My mother died when she delivered me. I was accepted as a maid apprentice in the castle when I was 12 years old. Afterward, I worked as maid for five years until the heroes, including Rio, were summoned around three weeks ago. I fell in love with Rio and decided to follow and devote myself for him. Hence, I left my previous job as servant in the castle. That was the summary about my life, I suppose. Now, it's your turn, Little Sis."

Liselotte threw the metaphorical ball in Aletia's direction. She sounded smug when she called Aletia 'Little Sis.' Surprisingly, Aletia didn't protest. However, when it was her turn, Aletia sunk deep in thought. She seemed pondering about something.

"My name... I want to forget my old name. Could you give me a new name?" Aletia said to Rio pleadingly.

When Liselotte heard that, she had understanding expression. She could guess why Aletia wanted a new name to start over her life. After all, Aletia's past was very cruel indeed. She didn't seem mind when Aletia asked to be named by Rio instead of her, but she still sent a threatening glare in Rio's direction as if she was trying to say "Give her a strange name, and I'll cut off our s.e.x for the whole month!"

Normally, Rio would return Liselotte's glare with a wry smile. However, he was frowning deeply, surprising even Liselotte because of his unusual behavior. She couldn't help but wonder what's Rio's problem.

Meanwhile, Aletia's eyes wavered when she saw Rio's expression. She thought that Rio didn't want to give her a new name to mark her new life.

And Aletia's guess was actually not wrong. Rio didn't want to give Aletia a new name because only 'Yue' name was suitable for her. However, he had a problem with that name. 'Yue' was a name Hajime had given for Aletia in the canon, but it marked Aletia as Hajime's woman. In this timeline, Aletia had accepted to be a member of his harem. She was his, not Hajime, not anybody else. He felt very overprotective for his girls. Due to that, Rio believed she should use her old name, Aletia, as his woman.

It was when Rio recalled about the recording artifact he discovered in the room. 'Perhaps, I can make her keep her old name if her misunderstanding about her uncle is cleared.' Rio made up his mind and took out the artifact from his pocket dimension.
