Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 668: Those Two Are Just Shy

As the sound of chirping birds reached his ears, Ethan opened his eyes and saw a familiar ceiling above his head.

His body no longer felt as heavy as lead, which made him sigh in relief.

However, it didn't take long for him to realize that he was being hugged by two girls, who were sleeping peacefully beside him.

The two girls were, of course, Joanne and Princess Ramona.

Seeing his sister hugging him made Ethan feel fluffy inside. However, he also understood that Joanne wouldn't really hug him in this manner, especially with their current relationship.

'Thank you, Joanne's Other Half,' Ethan thought.

Right now, the two girls were hugging him, so he couldn't move, or else they would definitely wake up.

Since he wasn't in a hurry to wake the two girls, who had helped him recover, he decided to talk to Sebastian and his Other Half, who were also feeling relieved that he finally opened his eyes.

"I thought that you would continue to sleep until I gathered enough power to send you, and your sister back to the future," Sebastian said with his arms crossed over his chest.

"I'm sorry to make you worry, Sebastian," Ethan replied as he looked at the Guardian of Zentris, who would not hesitate to sacrifice himself to save him.

"Well, you couldn't really do anything about it," Sebastian relented. "But, I'm really glad that you woke up. A mermaid princess has been singing beside you, and stealing kis—mmmhhh!"

Ethan's Other Half covered the chatty guy's mouth with his hand because this was something that he shouldn't be telling the young man right now.

"Stealing what?" Ethan blinked because he thought that Sebastian was telling him that Illumina had been stealing his Ki, which was a form of energy used by other practitioners.

"Anyway, Illumina came to help you wake up," Ethan's Other Half stated, while still holding onto Sebastian's mouth. "She has been working for two days in a row. If you didn't wake up today, she might have come to sing to you again."

Ethan nodded in understanding.

Truth be told, he wanted to meet Illumina and ask her a few questions.

The Mermaid Princess, who would appear whenever he used his Resonance, was a Will that Illumina had left behind in her rainbow scale.

She did this, so that she would be able to find wherever her Rainbow Scale had been taken, allowing her to meet the person, whom she had been waiting for for a very long time.

"Ethan, you should pretend to still be unconscious today," Sebastian said with a mischievous smile. "That way, Illumina will come again and you can catch her in the act of… ahem."

"Ahem?" Ethan tilted his head in confusion. "Sorry, Sebastian. I just woke up, and my brain isn't working properly. What are you referring to?"

"Just trust me." Sebastian rested his hand on Ethan's shoulder. "Just pretend to still be in a coma until noon. It will be more fun that way."

Ethan's Other Half fought the strong urge to roll his eyes. But, he also thought that this would be an amusing scene, so he didn't stop Sebastian's antics.

"Trust me, Ethan," Sebastian repeated. "If you do as I say, you will definitely not regret it!"

Ethan didn't know if he should believe Sebastian or not because he could tell that the Guardian was up to no good.

The young man then gave his Other Half the 'should I trust him?' look, making the latter avert his gaze.

Seeing his Other Half's reaction, Ethan knew that his suspicion was right, so he decided to ignore Sebastian's proposal and returned to reality.

Princess Ramona, who chose that moment to wake up, sleepily planted a kiss on Ethan's cheek, and greeted him good morning.

Joanne's Other Half had tricked the little Princess, and told her that guys liked to be given a good night and good morning kiss before going to bed.

Joanne, who was taking a nap at that time, didn't know that her Other Half was up to no good, which came to bite her two nights ago.

When Princess Ramona gave the still unconscious Ethan a good night kiss on the cheek, she asked Joanne why she wasn't kissing her brother, which made the blue-haired girl look at her in confusion.

When the Princess told her about what she had said earlier, Joanne immediately confronted her Other Half, who only giggled mischievously inside her sea of consciousness.

In the end, seeing that Ramona's face had turned beet red because she thought that she had been lied to, Joanne reluctantly gave Ethan's left cheek a quick peck and said, "okay, happy?"

Ethan, who had just been kissed, subconsciously greeted Princess Ramona good morning, which made the young lady's body stiffen.

A moment later, the Princess fled the room in a hurry, not even bothering to change her nightgown.

Joanne, who woke up due to the commotion, rubbed her eyes, and subconsciously planted a kiss on Ethan's left cheek, which she had already done a day ago.

But, after seeing that Ethan was actually awake and looking back at her with surprise, she also bolted out of the room with a beet-red face, running after her friend, who had done the same thing.

Sebastian, who saw the entire thing from start to finish, laughed out loud, making Ethan shake his head helplessly.

"Don't worry, those two are just shy," Sebastian commented after he stopped laughing. "They'll revert to their former selves and probably won't give you any kisses anytime soon. Very sad, right?"

Ethan didn't even bother to answer the annoying Guardian and just shook his head helplessly.

He then summoned his wand and waved it at the bed, making it fix itself.

"Well then, first things first," Ethan said to his two greatest critics, and two greatest supporters. "Tell me everything that has happened since the battle with Erass. Make sure not to leave out any important information."

He had been sleeping for a very long time, and he was certain that many things had happened, while he was in a coma.

Ethan wanted to know what happened to the Ratmen, as well as any other event that resulted in the aftermath of the battle.

Knowing that the young man was serious, Sebastian and Ethans' Other Half told him everything, so that he would not be surprised about the changes that had happened in the Lands of Alastor while he was sleeping.
