Chapter 256 With a flash of light, Evelyn and I reappeared in the depths of space .
I waved my hand to create a barrier around us, isolating us from the harsh conditions of space and creating a burble of vital space .
As soon as we appeared, Evelyn collapsed on my back panting heavily .
"Are you alright?" I asked in a concerned tone .
Evelyn nodded with a pale face . "I guess… But I thought I was going to die . "
I smiled wryly . Girl, I'm surprised by the fact that you did not faint after facing his pressure .
Even if he was just an avatar, it's not something a thirteenth-layer practitioner should be able to withstand .
"Boy… Who was him? He… He seemed to know you . "
I scratched my head and looked at Evelyn fixedly . "Do you truly want to know?"
"… I do . "
I curved my lips up and leaned forward slightly, kissing Evelyn's lips softly .
"This is my pay . "
Evelyn twitched her lips . "Rogue . " She said . Unconsciously, though, she rested her body on my chest .
I thought for a moment and organized my words . After a few seconds, I opened my mouth . "He is the person behind the dark clouds . "
Evelyn was startled before realization dawned on her .
"It was him!? But then, how do you know each other!?"
"We didn't . We made contact while I was studying the dark seeds, so he knows of my existence . "
Evelyn nodded in understanding . "Then, what about your strength? Claus, you fought him to a standstill . And I'm completely sure a thirteenth-layer practitioner is not supposed to be able to do something like that . "
I chuckled . "You are right, a normal practitioner can't . But I'm different . "
"Different? How?"
"If you want to know, you have to marry me . "
Evelyn stiffened .
"Bastard!" Evelyn said with gritted teeth . "Do you know how it feels when you let someone hanging up like that!?"
I nodded . "I know, so I'm not telling you . You need more than a kiss to access that information . "
Evelyn looked at me with eyes full of anger . She probably was thinking about different forms to kill me .
I chuckled again and hugged her body before putting her on my lap .
"What are you doing?" Evelyn panicked, but I just shrugged while pointing to the void of space . "I don't know how long we are going to be here, so I need to reduce the size of the barrier to save up mana . " Evelyn looked at me with a suspicious look, but perhaps because she was too tired to refute my obvious lie, she just rolled her eyes and relaxed completely .
Just like that, we wandered through the void of space for a few minutes .
"How much time do you need to cast the teleportation spell again?"
"… I have enough mana, but I feel a bit tired and I'm suffering from a terrible headache, so I want to wait until I felt better . "
"Is it so?" I hugged Evelyn's body and started to massage her temples gently .
"Headmistress, can I say something?"
"W-What?"
"I like you . "
"I-I-Is it so?" Evelyn stuttered and looked down . "B-But I think it's not right if we–"
Before she could continue speaking, I held her cheek and moved my lips towards hers .
"!!!"
Evelyn froze . Soon, though, she closed her eyes and let herself to receive my kiss .
After that kiss ended, we kissed again, and again . Only after five minutes, Evelyn meved her lips away and stared at me with her blood-red eyes .
"… I'm not sure about this . "
"Do you like me, headmistress?"
"I don't know . . . Perhaps . "
With a smile, I put my head on her shoulder and kissed her cheek . "Then, what are you going to do?"
"… Let me think for a while, okay?"
"Only if you give me another kiss . "
"Rogue . " Evelyn rolled her eyes . Her lips, though, moved towards mine slowly .
I savored her sweet lips happily and bit them slightly . Finally, I extended my tongue inside Evelyn's mouth .
We forgot about everything else, just enjoying our kisses greedily . Rather unexpectedly, Evelyn quickly learned how to kiss . Although she was mostly passive at the start, she took the initiative on more than one occasion towards the end .
Unfortunately, such a sweet moment did not last long .
"… It's time to go back . " Evelyn said with a bit of reluctance .
I nodded and stroked her hair . "Don't worry, I'll go to your office often . "
Evelyn rolled her eyes . "Who wants you to go there? You will only go to do perverted things . " Her lips, however, curved up happily .
"The spell is ready . Claus, promise me to keep our matter a secret, okay?"
"Don't worry, I understand . "
"Good . And sorry, I will give you my answer after I think things through . "
Evelyn then kissed my cheek and cast the spell .
Seconds later, we appeared in Raven's room .
Raven had been sleeping when we arrived, but she woke up as soon as she felt our presence . But once she discovered one of the people was me, her eyes dropped sleepily .
"Big brother?"
"Don't worry, little kitty . You can continue sleeping . "
Raven nodded sleepily and kissed my lips before falling asleep again .
Evelyn looked at the scene with an indifferent expression . Her eyes, though, were piercing daggers towards me .
"Thinking about it, I can give you my answer now . "
"Let's go back to the institute first . " I quickly diverted the topic without changing my expression . Evelyn snorted and cast the teleportation spell again .
We appeared in the underground library of the academy . When we appeared, the teachers and the old man reacted instantly and looked at us in surprise .
"You… You two are alive! Great, hahahahaha!" Evelyn's teacher laughed joyfully and rushed towards us . The other teachers also smiled in relief .
"Evelyn, Clark, what happened? How are you? Why did you take so long to come back?" The old man threw us a barrage of questions . Evelyn smiled bitterly and gave him and the others a recount of the situation . When they heard that we fell in another world, they were surprised .
"… You had it hard . It's good you are alright . " The old man finally sighed and said .
Evelyn shook her head . "Actually, I think this was a good experience . I feel that I'm close to reaching the fourteenth layer . Moreover–" Evelyn then looked at me before looking away with a slight flush .
Fortunately, everybody else was too focused on the first part of her words to notice it .
"Fourteenth layer!?" The old man exclaimed . "T-That is…"
"Yeah, I know . Even I can't believe it myself . "
"You… Sigh . I have been trying my entire life to breakthrough to the thirteenth layer, but my apprentice managed to reach the fourteenth so easily . "
