Chapter 63: Relationship Classification

After Schnee’s cute harrumph, the duo spent some time in silence.

Although the wind passing through them had been cold, it was a pleasant companion. In that mood, Alex inwardly thought about the cat woman.

Sara told him about her sisters before.

One of Schnee’s traits was a sadistic tendency. He could see how sadistic she could get and imagine how she shamed her enemies through her tricky skills. That part made Alex believe that Schnee was a good one versus one NPC.

But depending on her skills, she also could severely influence the battles and even wars.

Alex couldn’t analyze well since he lacked information.

Still, that was rather a fleeting thought. Alex thought more about her other trait, which was fickleness.

Since Schnee’s goal was quite terrifying, Alex had no way of seeing through that trait. But since Sara told him about it, Schnee must have exposed it countless times in her presence; for example, just by giving up on Celia’s pestering to play hide and seek with her.

There should be other examples, but Alex didn’t think too much of them.

He would see her fickleness more from now on.

He was sure of it because of Schnee’s sudden stance shift. For whatever reason, she had decided to test him. The test was brutal but honest.

Thus, Alex inferred that Schnee’s trait had played an essential part in it alongside other circumstances.

He would learn about it in the future, but now, he was relieved that Schnee had given him a chance. It already felt great to have such a talk with her, and he could only imagine with optimistic expectations how would all four of them interact tomorrow.

“I feel like I am wasting my chance by staying silent. How about I tell you one of my goals, then?” Alex smiled brightly.

His proposition was sudden but not enough to startle Schnee.

She turned her head lazily and looked at him with squinted but immensely charming eyes.

No system message appeared, so it was a natural reaction for both Alex and Schnee.

Alex nodded, “The hungry demon and their immortality. I want to use Battle Spirit and learn more about it, eventually helping you girls achieve the same immortality.”

Schnee’s eyes widened, and her lips parted too. She made such a big ‘O’ with her lips that Alex could see her white teeth well.

It was not only an adorable reaction but quite an informative one.

“Oh, you have cat teeth too,” Alex nodded casually as if he couldn’t see through Schnee’s palpitating heart.

Her chest heaved up and down vividly, though. Thus, he surely could see how much impact his words had made.

It was already night.

Alex would’ve logged out by now. However, he had planned to return to the forest fairies and his Tree House from the beginning. It wasn’t just to check his checkpoint but also to talk with Remia.

Because of the threat coming from the skillful villain, Alex didn’t want to leave Remia alone for too long. Of course, she had her whole tribe backing her up, but Remia’s skills flourished in a party with him.

Remia had tasted the fast and efficient leveling up with Alex. Leaving her so suddenly would cause a sour taste and make her heavily disappointed.

Alex also kept in mind that allowing Remia to get drunk on such power would give him bad results.

He thought about his friends seriously, and Remia was one of those. Alex had already a plan in his mind.

[You have used [Leave Ticket] x1!]

After selecting his only checkpoint, Alex confirmed the choice. His system did all the work, teleporting him to his Tree House. It was dark, but the moment Alex appeared on the floor, the fireflies gathered en masse around his lamp.

Light spread across his whole tree.

“It works… Alright… How do I call Remia now?” Alex scratched his hair.

She always approached him first, so Alex was kinda at a loss. He also deducted that Remia should be in the queen’s tree because of the villain player.

Dollar was bold enough to attack the princess. He seemed to know her too, so Remia’s safety had been increased severely.

Alex sighed, “I didn’t think that far, did I? Should I just log out?”

It would also be nice to hear from Remia whether the queen knew something about Dollar. If that villain worked on those grounds for some time, she should have enough intel about him.

Alex would gladly help her to become closer with the whole race.

After thinking about it, Alex left his house for a walk. The streets were empty, and just a few houses had their lights on.

Surprisingly, Alex spotted a familiar individual.

It was the older lady whom he had talked with about the rumors.

Alex recalled all stuff about him and Remia that the residents gossiped about. They all believed that something was going on between the cat man and their princess.

Alex smiled widely and called her out, “Good evening! Coming back home from a shopping spree? I can help you out, Miss.”

“Ah, it’s you!” the lady turned around with her hands full of bags. Some bottles within her bags made clinking sounds.

She widened her eyes and pouted, “I still remember you bullying me!”

Alex awkwardly laughed, “I momentarily forgot myself because of how young miss looks.”

It was not the case back then, but now, Alex spoke from the bottom of his heart.

The lady was much older than him, and she probably outlived his parents and a few generations more, but her skin looked smooth and untainted by the long age.

She exuded life experience and looked mature, yet the way she pouted took away a few years off her appearance.

Alex grew awkward as he wasn’t this close with his neighbors. He couldn’t imagine such a lady making that kind of peculiar reaction.

Alex took a few bags and helped the lady return home. His former words did wonders as the miss talked about herself and her beauty.

At some point, she spoke about Remia, “Only love can lift the princess’ burden! No matter what rumors are, I hope you still will be her friend.”

“I will,” Alex replied immediately.

Of course, he had his system. And even without it, he would be able to tell Remia’s affection toward him. But as he thought about it, Alex became silent and slowly tread toward the lady’s house.

After he helped her pack out the staff, he returned home with his head filled with unpleasant thoughts.

[Remia feels affection toward you.]

That was the state of his relationship with the fairy lady.

As the system told him about it, Alex realized that private feelings were truly exposed in this game. How many emotions would the system catch and show him as he went throughout the world?

Would it also react to hatred and other peculiar emotions?

Alex thought it was unlikely since Schnee’s relationship had been quite mysterious.

But people fell so easily in love… Remia’s feelings became affectionate, and he grew closer with all three Deathwill Sisters.

For them, he would go all out. But for women such as Remia, Alex would think about it for some time.

The relationship was about equal love. It wouldn’t be wise of him to accept all affection and develop a harem with ladies that would begin with a faint love and end with mostly skin contact.

In that way, Alex would develop a lot of unhealthy relationships.

“I should learn more about the system and its relationship classification,” Alex returned home.

No one was waiting for him, and he also didn’t see the person he was looking for around his Tree House. Why would she be here at such an hour anyway?

Alex dropped onto the unique bed and closed his eyes, ‘Out of two NPCs I am close with, Stella seems like a reasonable choice to learn about the relationship classification.’

Stella rarely talked. That was because she was just too lazy to open her mouth.

She would say important words only. And she would only speak fluently in crucial situations, such as Alex’s honest talk.

And Alex had promised to genuinely turn her schedule for the better. He wanted her to clean her room and follow her daily routine of washing herself, exercising, and eating with others.

He could impose those rules onto her with goodwill, meaning that he would be able to spend time with her without being intrusive or impudent.

Of course, Alex didn’t plan to throw all those normal tendencies onto her right off the bat. He would do it slowly by spending time with her like usual.

He had an inkling that Stella genuinely would love it. And if he grew addicted to his presence, Alex would leverage it and make her focus on herself more.

As for Sara, his relationship grew significantly with her as well. However, Alex couldn’t see an event where their relationship would grow further soon enough.

He would like usual spend time with her and her daughter anyway.

In that case, Alex had missed something, and he would get a big surprise soon enough.

Regardless, he decided to become closer with Stella and focus on his relationship with her more.

After those thoughts concluded, Alex opened his eyes and clicked the log-out button. He looked forward to tomorrow’s four-man party.

And the reason he logged out in the Tree Forest was naturally that he hoped to see Remia tomorrow morning.

Fortunately, it was the case. After some nice talk with Remia, Alex went to meet his wives.
