《Villainess and Grimoire》Chapter 25 – Adventurer Arc
Advertisement
A while later after splitting from Aurora I meet my mother who's at home cooking lunch.
The moment I close the door mother notices me by its sound.
"You were out so early baby?"
"Yes, I was watering the field and cutting some trees for my title collection."
My mother smiles, "you sure love getting all kinds of strange titles."
"True, you need help with anything?"
"No, I'm okay dear, go take a bath, you must be tired and reeking of sweat."
I laugh," that's true, I really am smelly, I'll be back."
"I'll have lunch done by the time you're done, it's your favorite potatoes with tomato soup."
"Yay, thank you mother you're the best!" I rush to the bath.
An hour passes effortlessly.
After lunch, we are on the sofa talking, I and mother.
"Dad is sorry for what he did baby, but you know that we truly care about you so he had to make sure in his own way."
"I think Aurora wasn't angry about it because it was dad, but if it was someone else then..."
"Yeah... I get a very bad vibe sometimes from her, the affinity that girl has with the darkness element is abnormal."
"She had a very bad life, so I believe that she's a good girl deep down."
"I don't doubt you baby, but be careful with her just in case."
"I understand mother," I lay on her lap and she pats my hair.
"It seems like you and her killed some slimes yesterday, with Elise the granddaughter of vincent our boss."
"Yes, mother, she became a healer in the middle of it supporting us with healing magic, just like dad."
"Her grandfather was complaining about it while I was working, he wanted her to succeed him in alchemy."
"I see, I think it wouldn't suit her though, she feels like a bird."
"A bird?" Mother asks confused.
"Yes, birds are free to explore the world, and alchemy spending her time inside a shop, I feel like it would be like a birdcage."
Mother opened her mouth then closed it without saying anything.
"I believe she'll become a good healer," I smile at mother.
"Yes I hope so, in the worst case she can always change her class to alchemy."
"Exactly! Unlike me who only had the witch class, she had a few choices!"
After mother brain processed what I said she shouted," witch class!?"
"Yes, it was the only class I could obtain I have close to five thousand disgrace, so I think all other options were denied due to that."
"Oh noes, I have a daughter with the unique dark element and now my other daughter has the witch class," she says with a worried tone.
"It's okay mother, I'll keep it a secret from the church plus it's a magical class and it doesn't affect them in any possible way."
"Who told you that?"
"Elise did."
"She's not wrong, but you twins are very special, rare blonde hair color, rare eye color, exquisite elements, one has the witch class, the other is an item... it's bound to bring a lot of attention to you girls, in the future, you'll have to be careful with the fanatic groups of the church baby."
"I'll be careful don't worry dear mother, I'll also keep an eye on Aurora to avoid her getting into danger."
"Yes, do that, it's a good thing we live in the outskirts of the village and very far from the kingdom capital."

"Why?" I ask curiously while looking at her from below.
"The fanatics live in the capital because that's where the pope and the Saintess live in."
"The saintess... I wonder how she looks like."
"She's a bit like you with green eyes and green hair, and has this warm aura around her."
"Green hair? That sounds different, I guess I'm not one to talk, being blonde," I laugh.
"True, they say her hair color is very special that it is the sign that the blood running in the veins was blessed by the goddess," mother smiles.
"Is that warm aura because she has the fire element?"
"She's like Luke with light element, just with a lot more mana, and due to the excessive amount the aura inside of her it is said that it propagates naturally around her causing a warm aura, and her mother when she was alive it was known for having an aura of light illuminating everything and everyone wherever she went through."
"Oh... That's interesting, sounds like going full of wisdom has some benefits!"
Mother laughed lightly," I hope you're still not going crazy about going full wisdom right? How are your overall statuses?
"Hum... Status."

"I have around 150 strength, 48 stamina, 85 agility, 107 dexterity, 71 intelligence, and 87 wisdom so far."
"What the hell Iris!? That's a lot for someone as young as you!" She shouts at me surprised.
"I did collect a lot of titles, it's half my status literally!" I shout back.
"Seems like collecting titles really is great, most of us don't do it due to the disgrace and the church hates it, so that makes my cute daughter being truly amazing," she laughs hugging me and kissing my forehead.
"Alright baby, dad will be home shortly I gotta go work now."
"Sure, have a good day mother."
"Where's your sister?"
"She went on a slime hunt."
"Alone?"
"Yes, I was tired from the morning workout."
"I hope she's okay..."
I look back to the screen.
'Seems like I still have a skill point I haven't used.'
"Knowing her, I'm sure she is, mother do me a favor."
"What do you need honey?"
"Give me some of your mana I need it to apply it on status."

"On status?"
"Yes, I want to check something."
"Hum? Alright, but since it is dangerous to inject you with my mana, you must spend it fast otherwise you'll get mana disease."
"The moment I nod with my head please do it."
"Alright, dear."
'I want to see the list of the witch class skills.'
Notice: Actives or Passives?
'Dad taught me about the 3 mana laws created by the system.'
'The first is a person's mana cannot be stolen even if they share the same element.'
'The second is one cannot absorb something created by someone else mana even if they have the same element.'
'The third is one can assist another with their own mana by their own free will by connecting one another.'
'All of them, appraise their meaning while at it, if it is not enough mana then don't overuse it,' I nod with my head and mother freely gives me her mana by placing her hands on my shoulders.

"Thank you for the help mother," I look at her and she looks exhausted.
"How...? Nevermind we'll talk later, I gotta go to work or I'll be late," she kissed my forehead and went out.
I read the whole list and study it quietly.
'Seems like some skills didn't get appraised possibly due to lack of mana.'
'This is truly overwhelming, but why is the church so scared of this class? It doesn't seem particularly strong or anything.'
'I'd need to max every skill and even then it still wouldn't be 100% chances at level 100 if that's the max level.'
'Is it due to the personality being affected? How does it even affect it? I doubt it'd be something significant.'
'Is it because the class is based on disgrace? Since they hated it and consider the evil that could very well be the reason...'
'Are disgrace classes stronger than normal ones somehow?'
'Why does the church hate witches?
'What if it has something to do with the class itself.'
'Perhaps... the charming skill? Will it make people fall in love with me or so?'
'Something that could annoy them... Maybe the dark alchemy skill?'
'Is it different than the one parent's boss has??'
'I want to spend a skill point in it please.'

Rise
20 years have passed since the Chaos Energy Quake rippled through the Milky Way Galaxy. During the year-long Quake, Chaos Energy became unusable, rendering much of the galaxy’s technology useless, and preventing Chaotics – beings who possess supernatural abilities – from using their powers. The galaxy has since moved on from the Quake, but to this day no one knows what could have caused it. The only broadly possible hints lie with the woefully few Chaotics born during the Quake, such as the seven Chaotics born on the world of Nimalia, homeworld of the Nimalian Territories. The other galactic civilizations see little correlation between the Quake and those born during it, but now that the seven have reached the age of 20, some Nimalians think they may be able to finally learn exactly what caused the galactic disruption two decades ago…
