BXBX NOVEL Chapter 12 Puberty Talk
I woke up and found out that my paralyzed state was over. I look at the clock, it was 6 am.
I turned to Aria, who was sleeping in the same position when she fell asleep. She didn\'t even move an inch.
\'What a weird woman. She only used me for a hug pillow.\'
Well, i have to get back to her, because she took advantage of my temporary paralyse.
I had a good idea for revenge, i reached to under of the pillow and took the book that Aria hid.
It was a pink book with a black title that says [How to act like a pet for your master/servants edition].
When i saw the book\'s title, even i felt amusement. I couldn\'t help but thank my past self for accepting this woman\'s wish to become my servant.
\'Isn\'t she amusing one?\' i said to myself.
\'I know that everyone loves to be pampered but this is a whole other thing. Who would even love to act like a pet or like to be treated like a pet? Well, Aria likes it, it seems.\'
I opened the book and started to read it. After some time reading, i closed the book. It was a strange book that i wanted to read more but i had another plan for now.
I had nothing to do, so i decided to try to break Aria\'s blank expression. It seemed a fun idea to try.
I swiftly removed her arms around my waist and slowly moved in front of her face. After that, i put her arms back and i hugged her too.
"Aria?" i whispered and breathed out to her ear.
She was a fighter and has some life and death experiences which made her even in her sleep slightly vigilant, so she was starting to awaken.
\'It\'s time to play around\'
"What are you doing to your master? Aren\'t you a naughty maid that covets the body of your 13 years old master?" i whispered to her slowly.
At first sentence, her eyes twitched but after hearing \'naughty maid\' words, her eyes shot open.
My face was in front of hers, thus she saw my face first. Her face became red and her lips twitched violently.
\'If i push a little more, i can break it\' was my thought. So i attacked one more time.
"The maid that i trusted took advantage of her master and touched his defenceless, immature body lustfully." i shook my head in sadness.
"Master please stop it." Aria spoke quietly, but i clearly heard in her voice a huge about of embarrassment. I was about to break her monotonous voice.
"Naughty maid\'s master was a forgiving person thus he decided light punishment for his lustful maid.
Her first punishment was to ask permission from her master whenever she wanted to sleep with him and the maid\'s second punishment was to act for her master as the book called \'How to act like a pet for your master/servants edition\' says for every day for 30 minutes." i spoke like, i was reading an erotic book.
Aria was completely embarrassed and she was trying to hide her face. But her face was still blank, i embarrassed her to the limit but i couldn\'t break her blank expression.
"Did you understand the punishment Aria?"
"Yes master." Aria murmured embarrassedly.
"Aria?"
"Master?"
"I stopped when you said it, but my dear when are you stop hugging my naked chest?" i said with an embarrassed tone.
"I can\'t master."
"Why you can\'t?"
"Somehow my hands were cuffed when i woke up, master." Aria said quietly.
I moved my face in front of her face. There was little distance between our lips.
"You aren\'t lying to me my dear, right?" I spoke seductively.
Aria\'s heartbeats quickened, and her breathing was erratic.
"No master." Aria murmured.
\'Welp, i pushed her too hard. If i don\'t stop right now, she will pound on me like beast or pet, i don\'t know.\'
I turned my back to Aria and looked at handcuffs made from ice. I quickly dismissed it and got up from bed.
I stretched my limbs and looked at Aria.
"You didn\'t have to tell lie, you know? You just have to tell to your master that you just wanted some hugs and your benevolent master would hug you." I spoke seriously.
Aria nodded her head slowly.
Afterwards, i went to my room, changed my clothes to comfortable ones and started my morning training.
******
"Haaah" I let out my breath and looked at the mana ore that i was holding. It was empty, i absorbed it completely.
Though mana ore didn\'t have much mana just its mana quality was way above me, which made my mana quality more higher ranked than other my stats.
I activated status lenses to see my progression more clearly.

That is some good progress. If this is continues like this, i can become a 5th circle mage before the academy time.
Being a 5th circle mage at the age of 14 is would be a huge accomplishment but every rich family\'s young masters too can reach the 5th circle by buying and absorbing lots of mana ores or purified mana cores.
But the real accomplishments start after 5th circle.
With 3 to 10 [B] rank mana core/ore someone with average talent can become 5th circle from zero.
For the 6th circle 500 to 2000 [B] rank mana core/ore or 50-200 [A] rank mana core/ore.
For the 7th circle 1500-4000 [A] rank mana core/ore or 150-500 [S] rank mana core/ore
Every gap between high ranks is close to absolute. They could easily suppress someone of lower rank. Though if someone has extremely unique and powerful magic or technique, they have little chance towards higher ranks.
Anyway, after my training, i took a bath, ate breakfast and went to the basement.
Last few days i read books about artifact making and practiced it. Though calling practice would be an overstatement, i just tried to do what the book says and wasted lots of time and [F] rank beast core.
Making artifacts isn\'t a problem for me because of my exceptional talent, i am making progress faster. I just have to practice and build muscle memory to have an easier time when making artifacts in future.
I took out a blue crystal and started to shape it. The shape isn\'t important for the artifact that i am trying to do right now but i am shaping it anyway.
I shaped the blue crystal into a cross shape because in my past life, i thought that cross-shaped earrings are the coolest. Well, i don\'t care about its shape right now but i shaped it anyway because i trusted my past self\'s taste in earrings.
After shaping i took out a [B] rank mana core and crushed it until it turned to powder. After that, i transferred the powder to a tube and put the tube into a pencil like tool.
This tool is named the carving tool and with this tool, i started to carve runes on the earring.
I was an amateur in rune carving, so i just carved only 1 magic and it was [Telepathy] magic.
Carving this cost me 4 hours and it was about time for Katie\'s arrival. So i went back to the living room to wait for Lucy\'s new maid.
After a while door knocked and Aria opened it. Katie came in with maid clothes and with a stone-like face.
"Hello there Katie, how are you doing?" i asked but Katie didn\'t answer.
"Ah! I am sorry i forgot that you can\'t speak. Anyway, if someone asks you why you can\'t speak, just tell the- opss just write \'it is an oath of mine to great Goddes Atune\' or something like that. Fabricate something believable though." i said and smirked.
Katie nodded tensely.
"Be ready i will call your young lady that you will serve for 4 years." after saying this i shouted.
"Lucy come here for a moment!"
Lucy came quickly to my side and asked:
"Brother who is this woman?"
"She is your new maid that i personally chose for you."
"Really?"
"Really. This woman is Katie and she is 3rd crystal fighter. Like Aria, she isn\'t a professional maid but an amateur one. But don\'t worry, she is a hardworking person that would learn the way of a maid in a few weeks." i spoke with pride in my voice.
"She can\'t betray you if you want some insurance. I signed a classic servant contract with her. So do you like it?" I asked like, i wanted praise for my great work.
As if Lucy understood my hints, she jumped at me for a hug.
"Thank you brother, you are the best!" She kissed my cheek and hugged me tightly.
\'Isn\'t this reaction a bit too much? Well, i don\'t care.\'
I hugged Lucy too and said:
"She has one little problem though, she doesn\'t speak because of her oath. But don\'t worry about that, she will carry around a stack of paper and a bell for communication."
Lucy got silent, clearly pondering something.
"What are you thinking this deeply my Lucy?" i whispered to her ear.
Lucy squealed and tried back away but she couldn\'t because i was holding her.
Lucy couldn\'t say anything and buried her face in my chest because of embarrassment.
\'I embarrassed Lucy too many times but she didn\'t get used to my teasings. Is her Innate power something like Anna\'s [Positive Thoughts] that she didn\'t get used to my teasings or else my life would be even more boring than right now.\'
"Apparently it wasn\'t an important thing, thus you didn\'t tell me, right?" i spoke with a relaxing tone.
Lucy nodded slowly and walked in front of Katie.
"Hello Katie! I am Lucy Ceurie." Lucy introduced herself which made Katie\'s eyes wide open.
Seeing this Lucy looked at me questioningly.
"Opss, i forgot to tell her that we were from the Ceurie family. She must have thought we were from a merchant family or something." i said with a grin.
Lucy nodded knowingly and giggled.
"Brother is a forgetful person, it is an expected thing."
\'It is true that i forgot many things and will forget many more. It\'s because i didn\'t care about them hence i forgot them.\'
"Aria escort Katie to her room and tell her important information that i forgot to tell."
Arie escorted Katie and i gestured Lucy to the couch.
Today is the day that i am going to tell Lucy to it is time to sleep separately. She will cry a lot but it is important for my plans.
"Lucy we have to talk." i used \'we have to talk\' forbidden card.
Lucy got serious and nodded.
"It is time for us to sleep separately Lucy." i said seriously.
Lucy\'s eyes got moist but didn\'t cry.
"Why?"
"We are in the age of puberty and according to books that i read, our bodies will change." i spoke like i was reading like book.
"When our bodies changes we will get new, different instinct like different bodily feelings, that will hard for us to sleep comfortably together. Do you understand?"
"No!" Lucy shouted tears started to fall from her eyes.
"My dear Lucy you will understand soon. Don\'t worry about it too much my dear Lucy, we will treat each other normally. Just we won\'t sleep in the same bed."
I hugged Lucy and patted her head slowly. Lucy cried like this for 10 minutes.
Lucy looked at me with teary eyes and asked:
"Alright, brother but can we sleep at least every week?"
"Hmmm" i started to think.
\'If i don\'t stop sleeping with her right now, she might pound on me when in puberty but if i sleep with her every week until full-blown puberty, i can still tease her albeit less.\'
"Okay, but until you hit puberty, afterwards we will fully sleep separately. Understand?"
Lucy nodded with determination.
\'I think Lucy got a weird idea about this conversation.\'
With this, i can make time for my nightly experiments.
