Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King

Chapter 433 433 Overslept

The mention of wanting to have a memory of the scene reminded Wolfe that he had new knowledge that could be applied in this situation. The memory crystals were a matrix of elemental magic, so he could create one easily enough, and he now had the spell to store memories in them.

Creating something as elaborate as the one in front of him would need a lot more practice, but Wolfe thought that he could do one scene from his recent memory.

So, with a moment's focus, he created a shard of crystal with Lightning Magic and then started to imprint the pattern on it to store the memory of the moment that Katerina had hugged Kira and buried her face in the fluff of the Kitsune's tails.

That went more smoothly than expected, so he added one more memory just to tease Mary with. The memory of her in a fluff frenzy, looking for Katerina while the girl hid behind a shelf in the library.

"Here, Mary. I made you a crystal with the memory stored on it. Feel free to look over it when you want." Wolfe told her, then flipped the shard toward the tiny witch.

Mary immediately put a hint of mana into it, and her eyes glazed over as she watched the memory. At first, she smiled, then suddenly, her expression turned to a scowl.

"I do not look like that." She complained.

Kira injected a bit of her own mana into the crystal to see what Wolfe had shown her and had the opposite reaction, starting with a frown at the intimate moment and then smiling at the embarrassing one.

The Demoness smiled at the fluff-loving witch. "Oh, he got it exactly right. You're almost a bit scary-looking when you get all worked up about things. I think it's direct from his memory."

Mary frowned, then watched the scene again and sighed.

"No wonder the fluff ran away from me. I got too worked up. I will have to work on that." She muttered to herself.

That wasn't even halfway to learning her lesson, but it was a start. At least now she realized that she got too intense and intimidated the new people.

Wolfe knew that she would watch the scene many times again in the future, so there was hope that she would learn to tone it down a bit until she was at a level that no longer frightened everyone with animal ears.

It was a bit amusing, given how tiny she was, but some of them were genuinely afraid that she would abduct either them or their children in the future if she went off the deep end.

"Alright, I think that we have everything taken care of for the night. There is a lot of new information in the crystal that Kira and I looked through, so I will need some time to come up with new ideas to help everyone out.

Come and find me if you need me, but preferably not too early in the morning." Wolfe reminded the group around him.

"Of course not. We will wait until we've seen at least one of your Witches come out before we come to bother you." Kira joked.

"That's probably for the best. How is the ammunition stockpile holding up? I have to pass by it on my way down so I can enchant more if we need it." He asked.

"We should be good for another few weeks. The usage has dropped right down, and now most of the villages are already stockpiled for the winter, so they're not requesting as much." Kira informed him with a sly grin, then waved him away.

"Go play with your brides. They get lonely when you're gone."

She was absolutely correct. The girls certainly were lonely when Wolfe made it to the room, and it was good to spend the night between their bodies again, though it was a bit strange not having Stephanie in the room mentally judging them and giving Wolfe a colourful narrative of her opinions.

She was up top somewhere with Sophie, and the thoughts she let leak through the link told him that they were getting along well. It also let him know that Sophie still thought that Stephanie was a cat, as she was petting her head.

Or perhaps they had shared their secrets, and it was just instinctual when Stephanie stretched out on top of you.

When Wolfe finally woke up in the morning, he was even less alone than he had been when he went to bed, but in a completely different way. Ella and Cassie were gone, but he had gained Justine, Sophie, and Stephanie, with Kira on top.

He was basically buried in bodies, with Stephanie curled up against his head.

The girls were all dressed, and Wolfe found that he had a sheet wrapped around his lower body for modesty. How he had slept through the switch was a mystery, but everyone looked comfortable, so he remained where he was for the moment.

He wasn't fooling Kira, though. She was only resting on top of him and had noticed the moment that he woke up. She didn't move right away, content to lay there for a moment, but once Sophie woke up, she lifted herself up using the Wind Magic spell engraved into the room's walls, treating herself as an item to be cleaned and organized.

Wolfe had never thought to use the spell that way, but it looked like it worked quite well.

"Good morning, Mister Wolfe. Sorry to bother you, but I had a bad dream, so Stephanie said I should come down here. Where did everyone else go?" Sophie asked.

"I think that they're already up and about for the morning. Did you sleep well once you got here?" Wolfe asked.

"Oh, very well. Did you know that you give off mana when you sleep, and it's really warm and comfortable? Because you do." The girl replied.

That made Kira giggle and lean over Wolfe to pick her up in a hug.

"You know, I give off mana when I sleep, too. Plus, I'm a much better bed partner." The Demoness suggested.
