Chapter 78: 78 | The Magical Drink
’Natasha...’ Dante stopped laughing and pulled up the mission tab with a smile on his face. ’It’s time to keep your promise and do your duty as my Master.’
[Main Mission: Train Dante]
Since Emma had returned, she would try to drag him to work every single day. He didn’t really have much to do there. If this was back on Earth, he would have loved to sit around and get paid for nothing.
But now, every minute mattered. He had to use his time as effectively as possible.
So he needed an excuse to skip work and focus on Natasha.
That was when he remembered her promise to make him the successor and her plan to start training him soon.
’Getting ’trained’ by Master while inheriting everything Eden’s Gate has to offer. What a juicy deal.’ He grinned and hit assign without a second thought.
***
Inside her room, Natasha had just finished hiding the cat ears and let out a sigh of relief. Then the system’s voice rang out in her head.
[Triggering Main Mission...]
[Main Mission: ’Train’ Dante]
[Description: You chose the Forbidden Path. Now it’s time to follow it. You promised to make Dante your successor, so start teaching him. But don’t forget why you’re really doing this. Get close to him during training. Every lesson is a chance to make him want you. Teach him everything Eden’s Gate has to offer and make him fall for you in the process.]
[Duration: Ongoing]
[Reward: Varies per task]
Natasha blushed, a look of shame flashing in her eyes after reading the description. ’Nurturing the next successor is supposed to be sacred and I have to seduce him while doing it?’
She already had no idea how she was going to explain to the rigid elders why she chose Dante as the successor.
If they found out she actually had feelings for him and was planning to seduce him during the training, they might actually cough up blood and drop dead on the spot.
’Hmph! I don’t care if they die. I’m doing what I want this time.’ She huffed, a satisfied smile forming on her face as she imagined their reactions.
[Triggering the first task....]
[Task 1: Cure Dante!]
"What... does that mean?" Natasha’s eyes went wide the moment she saw the task name. Her whole body was trembling with excitement.
’Finally...! At last...!’
Her thoughts went blank after she finished reading the description.
[Description: Before starting the training, you have to get him to the best condition possible mentally and emotionally. So it’s time to cure Dante’s condition!]
[Feed him your love juices and let him experience a whole new world!]
[Reward: Dante’s Broken Mana Circuits will be cured permanently and Ascension Essence (Epic)]
"F-f-feed my LOVE JUICES?" She stared at the screen with a dumbfounded look, both hands covering her face. Her thighs pressed together on instinct.
"S-system, how is that even going to cure him? Stop messing with me already! Give me something like a phoenix tear." She pictured Dante drinking her love juices and getting cured, and both her upper and lower lips twitched.
It was too ridiculous to be true.
[You should know something like a phoenix tear wouldn’t work on him.]
"Then how is my... my..." Natasha stuttered, face reddening. "How is THAT going to work?"
[Stop asking so many questions! You just need to know he will be cured after drinking it. Do you care more about curing him or how you cure him?]
’Why is it getting so defensive? I was just genuinely confused.’ She was a bit taken aback by the system’s reaction. But she didn’t think too much of it. The system always loved to quarrel and pick fights with her.
She was more concerned about whether her love juices were really going to cure him.
’Actually, getting him to drink isn’t that hard. His taste buds are already conquered by my cooking.’
’And if I tell him it’s a cure, he would drink it without any hesitation.’ A slight blush crept up her face after realizing how easy it would be to feed Dante her love juices.
She had vowed to find a cure for his condition.
No matter how long it took, she was determined to do it. Now that the cure was actually inside her own body, there was nothing stopping her.
"I hope you’re not lying to me. I would be very angry if this turned out to be a joke about his condition." Natasha’s eyes narrowed and a dangerous glint flashed through them.
[There is no reason to lie. I have always kept my word when it comes to rewards.]
"Then I’ll trust you." She said with a serious face before opening the door.
But before she got busy ’producing’ her love juices, she had to make sure Dante wouldn’t run off anywhere in the meantime.
She climbed down the stairs again with an unnatural expression. She had managed to keep it together before, but what she was about to do was genuinely insane.
"Dante." She reached the couch quietly and called out to him.
"Master?" Dante pretended to turn his head innocently from the game he was playing.
"I’m preparing something special today." She coughed at the end of her sentence, her cheeks flushing. "So don’t go anywhere."
"Hm? Something special?" Dante fought back the urge to laugh and put on an excited face. "Can you tell me what it is?"
"Well..." She coughed again. "It’s a secret. But after you drink it, you’ll experience something completely different."
"Oh, it’s a drink?" He raised an eyebrow with a curious expression. "Is it really that amazing?"
Natasha wanted to ask the same question.
Since when did her love juices have that kind of power? If that was the case, what had she been searching the entire world for over the past two decades?
’Maybe I should have tried drinking my own...’ The thought popped into her head and was buried the instant it appeared.
"Ahem, you’ll know when you drink it." She was struggling to keep a straight face. "Anyway, stay home. It’ll be ready soon."
After saying that, she turned and headed for the stairs. She stopped in her tracks when Dante’s puzzled voice came from behind her.
"Master, where are you going? The kitchen is that way."
"I-it’s something else. I need to go." She ran before he could ask anything more.
’Haha. How many times has she run away from me like that now?’ Dante stood up from the couch and walked toward the stairs.
After all, there was no way he was going to sit around calmly while knowing what she was about to do next.
He licked the corner of his lips as he thought about the magical drink.
’If our relationship is going to take a different turn from here, then what better way to kick it off than this?’ He was already salivating just thinking about the sweetness of her juices. ’A crazy start for a crazy relationship between a master and her student.’
She was going to be drinking plenty of his baby-making juices in the future. So it was only fair he got a taste of hers first.
’Ladies first, as they say.’
