Frostfire Legacy

Chapter 169: Cube's Data

That night, although unfortunate, Kali and Tina could not join the others with dinner. After all, they were still required to be confined for a few more hours, especially Tina, who came out barely alive.

As such, Cassy, Liz, and Lory were led to Aster's home, where they enjoyed his cooking to their hearts' content.

While eating, Aster received a message from someone. Although it was bad manners, he had to read it, as it could be an emergency mail from the mayor. But after seeing the sender's name, his eyes opened in surprise. Continue your journey on m|v-l'e -NovelBin.net

Opening the message, his surprise soon turned to joy as a smile flitted across his face.

"The cube had been successfully decoded!" He cheered.

The mail came from no other than Vanessa Ross, the eccentric scientist. It told him that the cube's data had been fully decoded, but also apologized that roughly 10% of the data got corrupted due to the long passage of time.

She also added that Aster could get the data personally tomorrow, or whenever he's free. She feared sending the data through the internet, as it contained "sensitive" information.

"Looks like my schedule for tomorrow's booked."

Thankfully, they all decided to take a two-day break, recovering from their troubles. Still, for whatever reason, Cassy, Liz, and even Lory, decided to stay the night in his room, despite them still having enough time to return to their lodgings.

While he was cleaning up the dinner table and washing dishes, the three girls decided to go take a shower together.

'Can they even fit in there, together?' Aster was honestly worried.

After all, Liz had her wings and tail, taking up enough space for two more people. Lory's wings behind her ears also take quite some space, so they must be cramped in there.

"Woah! Amazing...!"

Without wonder, Cassy's voice echoed through the thick shower walls, reaching Aster's ears.

"So Lory's the type to look slimmer with clothes on...! How nice~!"

"..."

Aster tried to remember Lory's figure and was already aware that she had "large" assets.

'Were they even bigger than they appear to be?!' He couldn't help but imagine. 'Ah, wait. What am I doing...' But he quickly shook his head, trying to chant a mantra in his mind and focusing on washing the dishes.

"Liz too... Despite looking macho, your body's so squishy~!"

"C-Cassy, please don't massage them! Hnngh~! I, I'm sensitive there, ah...!"

"...!"

Despite his focus, the moans and gasps still manage to break his concentration. "... I should fix the bed. That way, I could avoid hearing them." He murmured, walking out of the kitchen and heading to the bedroom.

"HIIIK!"

But then, a shrill voice echoed from within the bathroom. Cassy's voice soon followed, apologizing. "Sorry, Liz! I forgot to open the warm water!"

However, it was too late. A lone figure burst out of the shower, causing Aster to reflexively turn to his left. There, he saw a goddess of blue and pink for a brief moment, before his vision went dark.

Something cold and wet, but soft as prime buns, were pressed against his face, with hands wrapped around his head, pulling him into a tight hold.

"Mmmph!"

Even without vision, he could tell his current situation. A lucky pervert situation as per the manual! It wasn't all blessings, though. The hug was so tight that he was suffocating!

Liz had a bigger build than Aster, so her chest aligned with Aster's face perfectly. The poor man had to struggle, moving his hand randomly, trying to push her away. However, since her body was wet with water, his hands simply slipped, completely missing.

"Hmmm~!"

Still, his warm hands made Liz react, tightening her hug even further.

'God... I'm... Dying...!'

Desperate, he grabbed anything he could grab and ended up holding the base of Liz's wings. "D-Don't...! Not there~!" But along with her sensual voice, a resounding crack echoed.

Aster's consciousness was cut off at that moment.

*Lick!*

"Mmm?"

Aster woke up to something cold touching his cheek. When he opened his eyes, the only thing he saw was the white furball, Argus, lying down beside his head. By reflex, he moved his hand, about to pet the dog, but realized that he couldn't.

"...?"

His hands were pinned by weights... particularly, Liz's head to his right arm, and Cassy to his left. "What? What's going on...?" He muttered in confusion, trying to recall the events last night.

However, his memory was cut off after the part he finished washing the dishes.

Furthermore, looking around, he couldn't find Lory anywhere. "Did she go home instead?" He wondered out loud.

After that, he struggled to wake up the two and suffered numbed arms for a while. When he tried asking about what happened last night, Liz would flush like an octopus, while Cassy would smile, saying that it's a "secret among the girls."

Despite the blank in his memory, he decided to just go with his day like usual.

"Then, I'll be heading off. Please watch over Argus while I'm away."

After they had brunch, he put on casual clothes and headed out. Of course, he didn't forget to put on his windbreaker and scarf, hiding his face. It was already his default attire.

"Leave it to me~!" Cassy responded, lifting Argus by the front paw, and controlling its limbs to wave goodbye. "I'm an expert when it comes to caring for pets!"

"I hope you find clues about your troubles." Liz smiled lightly, waving goodbye.

With the two sending him off, Aster went out of his room and headed to the lobby. There, someone was already waiting for him.

"Good noon, Mr. Aster. I was sent by Mayor Magnus to be your chauffeur for today." The man in black clothes bowed.

Although he looked like a normal human, Aster knew that he wasn't. After all, his fangs could be seen clearly, peeking through his closed lips. 'He's a vampire, so I guess he's Magnus' direct subordinate.'

Since he was someone directly under the mayor of Orinfeld City, he should be reliable enough. "Pleased to meet you," Aster greeted lightly. "Then, can you send me to Vanessa's lab?" he asked.

"Of course. This way, sir."

The man in black bowed respectfully, before walking a couple steps ahead of Aster, leading him to a black car parked right before the hotel's entrance.

As soon as they both boarded it, the car quickly zoomed away, heading toward his destination, the previously destroyed Vanessa's Laboratory.
