Chapter 26: Mademoiselle Dragon
Even though Zamira called his grandpa a monster, Max's lips curved into a smile.
He knew that she didn't an anything wrong. In fact, it was normal to call strong people monsters, contrary to the common usage of this word on Earth.
Here, people would call others monsters when they did sothing terrible. But in the vast universe, monsters were people of mysterious and terrifying strength mighty enough to put down armies of different races.
Zamira continued while Max felt his heart swelling with pride, "People said that The Unbounded Explorer had visited every land except for The Tower's floors that he could not step in.
And that's enough for people like us to admire him. We are still young adventurers who barely saw the world. For various reasons, we can't visit them all. But The Unbounded Explorer was a lone wolf who didn't care about rules.
People speculated that he was searching for sothing precious in his pri. A treasure that was enough to destroy the worlds of the most prominent races.
But visiting every world is a small part of why everyone had their eyes on him. His strength was the real deal.
Even if he couldn't go to The Tower's upper floors, The Unbounded Explorer's strength allowed him to match people hailing from those lands. He was strong, yet he seed so limited by unknown forces…" Zamira whispered in admiration.
And as Max listened to her, his heart kept beating loudly. It was already full of pride and new profound respect for his grandfather. He wanted to know more, so he urged Zamira to say more.
His eyes sparkled like a kid, which was quite rare. Zamira also liked this expression as she saw more than just pride and respect. She shared so stories she knew about Max's grandfather.
Alice then added, "There were rumors The Unbounded Explorer had affairs with many girls of prestigious origins. He's a man worthy of his title.
He explored lands and girls," Alice smirked.
Max burst out laughing, "Haha! That one is good!"
"You are in a really good mood, aren't you? Did you sleep well?" Alice narrowed her eyes, then whispered, "Has he swindled so girl for a night while we were sleeping?"
Zamira shook her head as she couldn't believe her little sister's words. She even put her hand on her forehead, not wanting to look at Alice.
Max's laughter heightened.
Alice felt like she said sothing wrong, for her sister's reaction, was too much. She decided to share what she knew about The Unbounded Explorer.
She put away her bowl with cereal, then puffed her chest, "I heard rumors that he had an affair with Mademoiselle Dragon! Imagine this! It would be a disaster on the political scene and a catastrophe on the universe level!
If this rumor is true, I wouldn't be surprised if The Unbounded Explorer was one of the dragon slayers!"
Max brought his chair closer to Alice, wrapping his arm around her shoulder. That move surprised the twins, even more, Alice as she had Max's face closer to hers. She gazed at him deeply with a little blush.
"What do you want?" she asked in a whisper.
Max smiled brightly, "Mademoiselle Dragon sounds like a girl who needs love. It would be great if a man such as The Unbounded Explorer took care of her, right?"
Alice titled her head away from his face, "He's an unknown guy. No one knew his race or what force he was associated with. Even if he might have strength enough to shatter so world, it was clear as the sun that he was limited by sothing!
Otherwise, he should've stepped into The Tower's upper floors! And because of that, it would be a disaster if one of the primordial dragons mated or even loved him!" Alice explained.
And as Max listened to those words, he recalled his grandpa's story. He didn't know his exact strength, for the vast universe was a mystery for him. But Max knew that Earth had severely limited him so that even three families could chase after him.
Max smiled, pinching Alice's soft cheek, "I want to et the primordial dragon girl. After our journey on Earth ends and you girls get your power back, I will stick to you for a little more.
Don't be shy and introduce to your dragon friends," Max broadly smiled.
Although he didn't know how his relationship with the twins would end in the future, he could already make plans to stick with them. After conveying those words, Max unwrapped his arm from Alice's body, shifting his eyes to the TV.
And while Alice didn't understand much behind his words, Zamira, who had an inkling that Max knew The Unbounded Explorer and that his desire to et Mademoiselle Dragon was not just due to his curiosity, stared into Max's eyes intensely.
Their eyes t, then Max smiled mysteriously.
Zamira whispered inwardly, 'It's not like we can et her… Our mother might find a way, but there's no way she would do it for an outsider.
But as you are our benefactor and your genuine interest in us, I think eting Mademoiselle Dragon might not be a distant dream.'
Having astute traits was often more troubleso than helpful. Zamira's head was full of speculations about Max's origins. And if Max and The Unbound Explorer were sowhat connected, then this mysterious figure's limits were quite simple.
It gave more thoughts to Zamira, though. Many people wanted to increase their world's rank, for it opened more ways for a future.
'Ah, I see… The Unbounded Explorer was born in a wrong world…' Zamira inferred, then she looked at Max, 'You too.'
And while Zamira's thoughts swirled, giving her more ideas, Max and Alice had quite a peculiar argunt.
"Why did you pinch ?!" Alice suddenly burst out with fake indignation.
She didn't really look irked up by Max's move.
He chuckled, "You casually slapped my face. Why is it that I can't pinch your cheek? You also have a pretty face and soft skin, so I couldn't help myself. Ah, it was you who taunted , didn't you? You sultry girl!"
"You!" Alice's lips parted in a shock as she couldn't believe this shaless individual! He indeed took a confident approach!
Max sneered, going forward with his little ploy. He faced Alice properly, then spread his legs while still sitting on the chair, "Of course, you can pinch too. I will tell you where, of course.
We are all equals here, right? And so, Alice, pinch my dragon!" Max laughed loudly, believing that Alice wouldn't resort to such a move.
But as her hand extended toward his crotch, Max suddenly got worried.
He and his dragon didn't have the pleasure of utilizing their second function, the one given to everyone by the creator!
Alice stopped an inch before Max's crotch, glaring into his eyes. She then retracted her hand, forming a punch. She threw it at Max's relieved face.
And as he saw genuine anger in her eyes, he allowed her to hit his face.
BOOM!
"Ugh!" Max fell off his chair.
After hitting him, Alice took a seat back on her chair. She requested another portion of cereal from her sister.
And on the ground, Max thought, 'I let her hit today. And in the future, she will let spank her ass.'
A fair deal, or so he thought.
