Otherwise, you can find another savior.

She realized this fact in her heart.

The emotions that I tried so hard to suppress but could not eliminate resurfaced and grew again at this moment.

"Teacher...please tell me, I am different from the 'Alien God', right?"

“Mary?”

tide Jian was stunned for a moment.

She had already wrapped her arms around his neck, her soft body pressed against his as she slowly moved upwards, searching for his lips.

Perhaps we should push it away.

But if even he abandons her and gives up on her, who can pull Olga Marie back from the brink of collapse?

Olga Marie's dark eyes were overflowing with not only her adoration for him—even though he already knew and carefully maintained his distance—but also her struggle.

Accept yourself, and deny yourself.

Not knowing what to do, I could only seek an answer from him that I didn't even know existed.

Before Olga Marie's eyes began to glaze over in panic when she couldn't reach his lips, he slowly lowered his head and responded.

Chapter 126 About Olga Marie (2)

In the dimly lit room, Olga Marie's fair hand groped along Shiomi's shoulder blades before slowly sliding down to his muscular chest.

tide Jian gently took her hand, her voice soft and deep: "Don't think too much, just leave it to me."

"……Um."

Olga Marie gave a soft, almost inaudible reply, placing her hand on Shiomi's chest and resting her head on his shoulder.

The warmth of skin against skin was clearly felt; after the physical pleasure, a slight weariness followed, along with a feeling of excitement and unease.

Unlike when I do it alone, what fills my mind and body even before I experience physical pleasure is an indescribable joy.

Even the initial pain seemed like a dream, leaving only endless demands and comfort.

When she came to her senses, Olga Marie realized that she had done something terrible.

"Teacher, I..."

"It wasn't your fault." tide Jian hugged her and whispered in her ear, "If I had pushed you away just now, maybe you really would have..."

"Hmm..." she replied again.

Instinctively, they sought comfort and reliance, as well as the ability to prove the decisive difference between themselves and the "alien god".

If it weren't for Shio, no one could have saved her from her near collapse.

Even if the method isn't quite right.

But she didn't feel any regret at all; on the contrary, she was filled with gratitude and even more love and affection for him than before.

"Should this matter... be kept secret?" Olga Marie asked.

"What do you think?" tide Jian asked.

“I understand,” Olga Marie replied.

Some people must know, but others cannot.

Otherwise, new problems will arise.

"You look much better." tide Jian helped her sit up, examining her expression. "Are you feeling any better?"

"Ah... um..."

Olga Marie thought Shiomi was asking about her first experience, blushed, and could only nod shyly in agreement.

tide Jian realized she had misunderstood and had to clarify, "I meant... my heart."

He raised his finger and placed it on her full breasts, pressing it against her heart.

"much better."

Olga Marie, having understood, nodded again.

Despite not being dressed, she felt no shame at all; on the contrary, she cherished the moment.

"Then, can you listen to a little of my trivial matters?" tide Jian asked.

"What trivial matter?"

“About my trivial matters,” tide Jian looked into her eyes, “Actually, I have no idea where I came from, nor do I have any memories of the past.”

"Huh?" Olga Marie didn't quite understand.

All she knew was that Shiomi was from the Land of Shadows and was a disciple of Scáthach.

But they didn't know how Shiomi got to that place before that.

Olga Marie didn't know, and neither did anyone else.

"Before I met my master in the Land of Shadows, or rather, before I went to the Land of Shadows, I had absolutely no idea who I was, where I came from, or why I was born," Shiomi said softly.

"Then..." Olga Marie was speechless, "Did any teachers ever have a situation like mine?"

“Maybe I did, but I don’t remember.” Xi Jian cupped her cheeks. “Because over a long period of time, I gradually came to understand one thing: what determines who I am is not my past or origin, but every choice I make right now.”

"The current...choice?" Olga Marie looked at Shiomi.

“Even if life is preordained, even if destiny is predetermined, what truly determines who we are is every choice and decision we make now and in the future,” tide Jian said softly, looking at her.

He only had the opportunity to say these words because Olga Marie was now much more lucid.

Faced with her near collapse, any words would be superfluous.

“It has nothing to do with why you were born, or where you come from. You can be a terrible person, or you can be a wonderful person, as long as you want to.” Shiomi said in an empathetic tone.

On this point, he felt he was the most qualified person to speak.

Even if these facts cannot be stated, for Olga Marie, it is enough to tell her that he and she are in similar circumstances.

"Oh, I see..." Olga Marie was somewhat pleased.

She already knew she wasn't alone, otherwise the teacher wouldn't have hugged her so tightly.

But when she realized that she wasn't the only one who had experienced this, she felt more at ease.

"So don't worry, I'm here, and everyone is here. You don't have to face those problems alone, okay?"

"I promised the teacher."

Olga Marie, her hand stroking her cheek, was already a little dizzy. She could hear whatever Shiomi was saying.

Or rather, she now only listens to his words and only wants to be with him.

Thinking of this, Olga Marie felt her body getting warmer again, and she craved more.

Then, her gaze moved downwards and landed on Shiomi's body, where she discovered a certain fact.

"Teacher... are you still not satisfied?" she asked cautiously.

“…Uh…” Shiomi was speechless for a moment.

After all, that was indeed the case. However, he had only tried to restrain himself because he had seen Olga Marie almost completely exhausted from the overlap of their bodies.

"Are you worried about me?" Olga Marie asked.

"of course."

Upon receiving the answer, she was overjoyed.

She had never had a proper relationship with a man in the true sense of the word. Although she had tasted forbidden fruit for the first time, she still couldn't help but get addicted to it.

"Well...the teacher has done so much for me, I also—"

As Olga Marie spoke, she lay down and rested on Shiomi's lap.

I once read about this in a book I found by chance. The book said that doing this would make men very happy.

When she was a teenager, she saw the contents of the book and thought it was outrageous. She thought that even if she got married in the future, she would never do such a thing for that person.

But now I realize that there is no need to ask. If it is someone you truly admire, this is not difficult at all. In fact, you would want to do it on your own initiative.

In particular, during the swallowing process, he would stroke her head, which made her feel encouraged, so she would pay more attention.

"Ugh...cough cough cough..."

Olga Marie sat up a little more and swallowed everything in her mouth, coughing a few times as she choked.

"What a strange smell..."

“There’s no need to swallow it.” Shiomi scratched her head. “But for now, it might be a very useful magical resource for you.”

But Olga Marie was distressed: "But it hasn't gone down at all... Ugh~"

She was gently laid down on the bed by tide Jian.

"Didn't I just say you could leave it to me?"

"...Hmm~".

Olga Marie gazed at him dreamily and responded softly.

Chapter 127 "Interrogation"

"So, when I asked you to look after Mary's condition, you ended up taking care of her in bed?"

In tide Pajian's room.

He knelt upright on the floor, facing Morgan, who was sitting on the bed with his legs crossed, posing this question.

“Uh…yes…” Shio-mi replied awkwardly.

Shiomi made no attempt to conceal her forbidden relationship with Olga Marie and truthfully recounted it.

Then, naturally, one must accept their questioning.

At this moment, Morgan wasn't the only one in the room; Scáthach, Artoria, Skadi, and Orange were also there.

Everyone pulled up a stool and sat down, surrounding Xijian.

Judging from their posture alone, it does indeed have a hint of interrogation, but that's all it is—

"Um...Ms. Morgan, it has nothing to do with the teacher, it's my fault." Olga Marie, who had been forced to sit next to Morgan, shyly and hurriedly defended Shiomi, "It was me...it was me who seduced the teacher, taking advantage of my helpless situation—"

“How could this be your fault?” Xi Jian quickly shook her head. “Don’t just take the blame on yourself. If I had to say, I might be the one who caused more trouble by failing to guide you properly back then.”

“Teacher…” Olga Marie was a little happy.

She wasn't sure what she was happy about. Was it because the teacher hadn't denied the relationship, or something else? In any case, she was just very happy.

I should feel ashamed, but I also feel a sense of satisfaction, as if I've been reborn.

“He’s right. Your biggest problem is that you tend to blame yourself for things that aren’t your fault.” Scáthach crossed her arms and raised her right index finger. “Whether it’s Mash Kyrielight’s ordeal or the issue of the ‘Alien God’ and the whitewashing of humanity, it’s all the same.”

"Master?" Olga Marie was taken aback, sensing that the focus of the conversation had shifted, but she couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Because Orange immediately chimed in: "For magicians, whether it's themselves or their children, they are just cogs in a machine for continuing the legacy and mission. They can make their carefully nurtured children lose their right to inherit the magic for the sake of so-called 'more suitable,' and then drag their children, who have no magical training, into the world of magic."

“Ms. Orange…” Olga Marie was speechless for a moment.

She had already heard some inside information about the Fifth Magic Inheritance.

From this perspective, the examples Orange used are quite convincing.

“Even if you are an heir created with a certain purpose, you still have the freedom to choose. Whether you become a king or an ordinary person, as long as you have a clear conscience, that’s enough,” Artoria said.

“…Miss Artoria.” Olga Marie began to understand.

As the son of the Red Dragon and the created King of Britain, her eventual descent into that path was ultimately due to Artoria's own will.

“Fate may have already set its course, but the more predetermined that is, the more important your own attitude and choices become. If the whitewashing of humanity is truly Animusphia’s sin, then bear the portion you can bear. Even gods get tired of carrying an entire world on their shoulders, let alone you who are just human,” Skadi gently reminded her.

Each person's words are the answer and opinion they offer, stemming from their own experiences.

Olga Marie then realized that she wasn't the only one who was powerless to control her own destiny.

She felt deeply grateful for these profound words that resonated in her heart, yet also somewhat embarrassed:

"W-why does this sound like you're trying to comfort me? So you guys don't actually mean to blame me for seducing the teacher?" She shifted her body slightly, trying to read something from their expressions.

But everyone just smiled as usual, as if nothing serious had happened.

"Probably...maybe...no." Shiomi shrugged, stretched her body, and tried to get up from the ground.
