Riches and Bitches: I have a gate to an isekai and leveling-up system!

Chapter 71: An unwelcomed bastard

Our way back to Madam and Fay's lair was relatively peaceful and mostly silent.

Finally, back in her human form,  Fay's mother led us back to her place, once again proving to be an incredible guide that allowed us to avoid the harder-to-move-through, thicker parts of the forest.

And quite frankly, I pretty much enjoyed another chance to sort out my thoughts. In my drive to fully figure out the ins and outs of the idea that I just shared at Leinei's place, I had no other choice but to put other things requiring observation and analysis on hold.

That's why, rather than struggling with the awkward silence, I simply grabbed Fay's hand to keep my levels of Fay cuddle meter high while sinking down into my own thoughts and the lecture of all the news provided by the system.

With this arrangement, I didn't even realize when we arrived back to the familiar clearing, still willed with all sorts of trash left from the girls haphazardly and carelessly tearing up the packages for the different gifts that I'd brought over with Fay.

Back there, I quickly found a quiet spot in the shade of a random tree where I sat down and curled up, still busy trying to sort out all my thoughts.

"Now then," Fay spoke out once she let go of my hand and remained standing rather than taking a seat by my side.

Surprised by this sudden change, I raised my eyes, worried I did something wrong…

"I believe it's the right time for you to leave the two of us alone," Fay spoke, not looking at me at all.

No, her eyes were zeroed in on her mother's face. And even though I only ever saw her cover behind my back when faced with her mother's emotions… Right now, my girl was standing her ground, not moving her eyes away even for an inch, even for a second.

Madam raised her head up and looked at her daughter… Only to put on a sad, nostalgic smile and shake her head.

"How could you take on human habits so quickly?" She asked, with the regret only a mother could exhibit when watching her daughter being taken away. "It's way too fast! Way too fast for my liking, child!" she cried out, now enriching her voice with a note of disapproval.

Fay didn't seem to be moved by her mother's fake tears, though. And so she stood in place, steadfast in the face of her Mom's emotional assault.

"Are you interested in watching me screw with Peter?" she asked with a serious, scolding look on her face. My girl even went as far as to cross her arms on her chest and raise her left eyebrow!

All that she was now lacking, was to push her left foot forth and start tapping it against the ground!

Still, even without this last piece of the puzzle, the pressure Fay emanated…  Was truly a sight to behold.

And as the truth of the situation started to finally come to me, I couldn't help but gulp my saliva down.

'My lover is standing up to her monster of a mother so that she can get rid of her, allowing us to fuck like rabbits in peace?'

I gulped my saliva down yet again, not exactly sure how should I feel right now.

Happy that Fay desired me so much she was willing to go to such extreme lengths to sleep with me again?

Awkward that I was now stepping between a mom and her daughter, irreversibly changing their relationship?

Or maybe as confused as I was right now, as it was not my time or place to speak out or react in any other way?

Confused and unwilling to make a mistake by jumping the gun, I elected to remain silent and observe how things would develop.

Yet, as I gathered my scattered thoughts, Fay didn't lessen her pressure any bit, even going as far as to relax her hands… and rest them down on her shapely hips!

"I thought you could only go into heat in father's presence, is that not true?" Fay attacked again, choosing to keep up the sex-oriented axis of how she decided to chase her mother away.

Madam jumped on the spot, her eyes widening as she looked at her daughter with pure, unadulterated anger… Yet, as she stared into Fay's eyes and noticed what I could see from the very moment Fay spoke out…

When faced with the sea of determination in Fay's eyes, she gave up and backed off.

"Fine, I will leave," she muttered unhappily. "You know how to call me if something happens… or when you guys are done," she added with an extremely displeased look on her face.

Still, as unhappy as Madam was following up her words with actions… she still turned around and left, giving all the space in the clearing for the two of us to explore in our own, special way.

Fay stood in place, watching her mother leave for a short time, before keeping her eyes on the line of the trees for a few moments. And only once she could no longer sense her parent did she turn her eyes back to me.

All the determination in Fay's eyes… didn't diminish even one bit, despite how she supposedly just achieved her purpose.

Or maybe I've got it all wrong? Maybe her purpose was to fuck me from the very begi…

"Now, I've noticed you didn't speak about what happened when you got those here from Leinei," Fay spoke out while all sorts of emotions flashed in her determination-filled eyes.

Shame. Fear. Desire. Anxiety. Regret. Longing…

All those and many more of them came and went through Fay's eyes, making me realize that the topic of the two of us screwing… was just a convenient tool Fay used to get rid of her mother from the scene.

Fay now turned to face me… only to lower her eyes, as the hints of fear started to erode the determination in her eyes.

"I…" she swallowed her saliva. "I will understand if you don't want to speak about it," she claimed, her voice shaking a little and much lower than usual. "But I want you to know something very, very important!"

Fay added an emphasis to the latter part of her sentence, squeezing her entire body as she cried out about how "very" the "important" was.

Then, she suddenly threw herself at me, shooting with her hands right past my ears only to lock them behind my neck and pull herself towards the side of my head.

"I am and forever will be your ally and mate," her lips slightly rubbed the lobe of my ear as she spoke softly. "My first and foremost," she whispered into my ear with such dedication, that I ended up at a loss for words.

"And fear not," she added, her voice turning slightly… darker than before.

Her body, as light as it was, trembled while hanging down from my neck. And while I wasn't fully sure, I could swear I felt her entire body tense up just now!

"An unwelcome bastard like me has no place in either of the sides in this ancient conflict."
