“You're blushing~,” Valerie pointed out in a sing-song voice “You're cute when you're blushing... but now I'm really curious what happened. Did someone really try hitting on you or asking you out? Not that I can blame them...” She smirked. “If you don't want to tell me, can you at least give me a hint?”
Jesca hesitated. "Well, to put it short, they could be called, using a human sacrifice. They could grant various boons - but I am not sure what kind of boons." She paused. "I heard that some old families practised the arts and dabbled in black magic, that they have their own grimoires..." She shook her head. "But I never heard anything more than rumours." Jesca perked up. "Well, we search and try various magics, hoping to find something that actually works." She shrugged. "We would always welcome a new member.
'So you try spells, summoning and rituals, stuff like that?' Felix wondered, 'Did you ever find anything that actually works?'
The teacher shrugged. "I am not interested in that woman, on the other hand, I see in you a..." he smiled nastily. "kin soul, shall we say." the way he said that, made Kotaro shake a little - as how predatory the man sounded. With those words, the teacher started leaving but stopped. "Also, if you won't take care of that chatterbox in the shop in the next few days, I will take care of her."
Nea giggled. "Well, he is an employee at your school~" She answered. "Enough about that! How goes your love life? You already have a boyfriend?"
“No, I don't have a boyfriend – or a girlfriend.” Valerie admitted. “I'll tell you when I get one. But let's go back to this mysterious person. Do I know them? I'd hate to accidentally make a bad impression...”
"Wait, what? What do you mean chatterbox in the shop?" Kotaro asked, still confused as to what was happening. Great, just great. First is magic, then monsters summoned by magic. And now... a slave contract for my math teacher? What the hell is going on? He screamed inside his head.
Jesca merely shrugged hearing the question. "No really." She answered. "If I would guess, in the hands of families who had them." She said, thinking loudly.
"And sex?" Her mother asked, raising an eyebrow. "You have safe sex, don't you?" She continued the subject.
“Of course, you don't need to worry about that.” Valerie replied, blushing slightly at the question. “I hope you do too...” She added quickly.
She raised an eyebrow. "Oh my, what an interesting reaction I see here..." She smiled. "Well, who is it? The one you snuggle?"
"Whaaaat?" Kotaro groaned as he was left alone. "What the hell?" He mumbles to himself, taking the slave contract with him just in case. "Shop? What shop is he talking about? Wait, he's a workshop teacher... right? Maybe there?" Kotaro shakes his head, deciding to check the workshop classroom just to be safe.
@unisol_gr44 "Interesting. Thanks for your help, Jesca. That's very interesting, though I doubt anyone in my family would believe in something so outlandish." Grimoire? Perhaps it could be back at the mansion. But if I go there again... Alexandra stands. "Alright, I won't take up any more of your time.
Valerie smirked. “Nice try, but you're not finding out that easily – especially with how secretive you're being. Besides, it might be a temporary thing.” Then she got a bit more serious. “You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, but you are being careful, right?”
@unisol_gr44 Jesca nodded. "No problem teach." She said with a smile - and as the two looked at her, some form of relief, that they were leaving.
"Worry not about me." She answered with a laugh and waved her hand. "Now, shoo. Let me read and go do your homework."
Alexandra nods and exits, heading towards her classroom. @unisol_gr44 If Felix heads with her, she asks "So, you're looking for a club?"
