The next morning.
Lumine woke up early and was on her way towards Alicia's room. Her steps were light and there was an excited smile on her face.
'I don't know if Alicia is awake or not? Last night, they had dinner quite early without us and I couldn't ask her about their date.' Thinking of this, Lumine pouted.
"It doesn't matter. I'll go ask her now and get all the juicy details out of her mouth."
Lumine couldn't contain her thrill at the idea of Alicia's embarrassed expression when she teases her later after obtaining all the interesting information.
*Knock* *Knock*
At the door of the room where Alicia was staying, Lumine knocked and called out. "Alicia, are you awake?"
Waiting for a few seconds, Lumine didn't get any reply.
'Is she still asleep?' She wondered, while pondering if she should co back later. 'But I really want to know. Otherwise, I'll lose my appetite for breakfast.'
Her curiosity got the best of her, so she decided to be impolite… I an be a considerate mother-in-law who wakes up her daughter-in-law.
Before entering the room, she tried to sense Alicia but frowned a mont later. 'She isn't inside her room. Where is she?'
She was thinking of releasing her power to sense Alicia, but then she decided to ask Lily first.
"Lily, do you know where Alicia is?"
Lily's hologram appeared on her mana bracelet as she answered. {Mom, Sister Alicia is with Master.}
"With Luis? This early." Lumine mumbled unexpectedly.
Lily nodded her head and stated innocently, "She slept in the Master's room last night."
Lumine's eyes widened in disbelief, "Are you serious?"
{Yes.} Lily replied, not knowing the level of shock she had given to Lumine with her words and the misunderstanding she created.

As the morning sunlight filtered through the curtain and fell on Luis, his eyes fluttered open. Then he looked at his side and a wry smile appeared on his face.
'We literally just slept! Forget hugging! She didn't even let touch her! Wherever I tried getting close to her, she would freeze a part of my body! Isn't she too cruel?!'
Gazing at her beautiful sleeping face, Luis really wanted to give her a kiss as punishnt for torturing him the entire night.
"Are you going to continue staring at or get up from the bed?" Alicia said as she opened her beautiful aquamarine eyes, staring back at him.
Luis was in a daze for a mont, then said. "You know Alicia, getting to see you the first thing after waking up, I feel like I'm going to be happy for the rest of the day."
Hearing this, Alicia showed a smile and asked, "Just for one day? Shouldn't you be happy a little more?"
Luis smiled and replied, "Well, it works only for a day. So, I suggest it's better if we sleep together every day. That way, I'll always be happy and full of energy."
Alicia chuckled. She expected that kind of cheeky response from him. "In your dreams! Now get up! We should go have breakfast with everyone. Then we will return to the Tryston City."
Last night, they got notifications in their mana bracelet. Which gave them their dormitory information and asked them to get settled there within a week. In other words, the classes will begin a week later.
'Hm, it's enough ti for to help Alicia get that Sword Art.' Luis thought inwardly while getting up from the bed.
'In the ga, Alicia got that Sword Art in her third year, which I think was kind of a waste given her talent. Because she never got to master it completely. She was mixed up in various political struggles and the problems that Uncle David was facing. After that, her search for Aunt Maria's enemies also brought results. In the end, she didn't have enough ti to master that Sword Art.'
'But even then, on the route in which she ends up fighting to death. In her fight with Orneus, she showed amazing swordsmanship, which was probably that undeveloped Sword Art. She alone faced Orneus while surviving from the attacks of the protagonist's party, who had decided to side with Orneus.'
Thinking of this, anger flared inside Luis, which he cald down by taking a deep breath. 'Let's not think about them now. Or I might not control myself and end up killing them!'
'Anyway, what I am sure of is that Alicia's Sword Art was a powerful one, but she didn't have enough ti to fully master it.'
That's why he decided to help her get it now before the classes begin. So that Alicia can completely master it or even develop it to a higher level, making full use of her talent and potential.
As Luis was about to enter his bathroom, he paused and turned back to look at Alicia. "By the way, I wanted to ask you sothing."
"What is it?" Alicia looked at him as she got up.
Showing a serious expression, he asked, "Do you have a freezing fetish or sothing?" Alicia deadpanned, "Do you want to freeze you into an ice block and then throw you into the ocean?"
As she said that, she also raised her hand and ice particles appeared floating around her hand.
Luis shuddered and tried to talk this out peacefully. "Aren't you being too cruel? I just asked a question because you kept freezing my limbs last night."
Alicia snorted, "If you had kept yourself in control. Then nothing would have happened."
"I just wanted to hug you!" Luis uttered in grievance. Only he knows how much he suffered.
"If I had allowed you to hug . I am certain you wouldn't have been able to control yourself." Alicia stated.
Luis closed his mouth, as he couldn't argue back this ti. He knew in his heart that Alicia was right. So, he silently entered the bathroom without retorting.
Alicia smirked seeing this and then thought with a slight blush, 'If I had allowed him to hug , I would not have been able to get a wink of sleep.'

After getting ready, Luis and Alicia went to have breakfast. Where they saw the three adults waiting for them.
"Good morning, everyone!" Luis said with a handso smile. Followed by Alicia who also smiled and greeted them. "Good morning!"
"Morning, Luis, Alicia, had a good sleep?" Lumine asked them with a smirk.
Luis and Alicia didn't notice anything wrong and nodded simultaneously.
David on the side was depressed and felt his heart ache. As he glanced at Alicia, he felt sad and sighed again and again, thinking that his little girl now grew up into a woman.
Yes, Lumine had told them what she had heard from Lily.
'It's all this brat!' Looking at Luis, he really wanted to shoot a punch in his face. But thinking that he was her daughter's future husband, he barely held himself back.
Ronald, on the other hand, was very proud of his son. While at the sa ti excited that the next generation of the Suarez Family would probably be born sooner than he expected. Joyfully, he gave a nod to Alicia, very satisfied with his daughter-in-law.
They gave their orders and then took their seats. Alicia sat beside Lumine and Luis sat in the seat next to David, oblivious to any danger.
"Alicia, how was your date yesterday? Did you have fun?" Lumine asked slyly.
Alicia had expected her to ask this question. With a smile on her face, she replied, "Yes, it was wonderful. We visited many places…"
Then Alicia started recounting the places they visited, and everyone listened to her heart-soothing voice quietly. Of course, she hid many details, such as Luis's flirting, for which he was very grateful in his heart.
"Number 5 lost and so did I," Alicia said with a depressed sigh, which made everyone laugh.
When she ntioned their lunch in the underwater restaurant. Everyone's eyes brightened.
"Wow, there is such a wonderful restaurant here now!" Lumine exclaid, feeling quite interested in it.
Ronald also sighed and uttered, "When we studied here, there was no such interesting place."
Lumine elbowed him and said, "We should also go there in the future."
"Of course!" Ronald replied with a smile.
…
"Then we returned to the hotel." After Alicia completed sharing her experience. Lumine said with a sigh. "It must have been a wonderful date."
Then she looked at Luis and mumbled. "I didn't expect Luis to plan such an exciting date."
"You should have confidence in your son, Mom," Luis said with a smug grin.
Lumine smiled and said, "Yeah, but you always surpass my expectations."
Luis didn't think that Lumine had any different aning behind her words. So, he said with a smile. "Just wait and see how I make you all proud of ."
Ronald shook his head and replied, "We are already very proud!" When he said that, he also gave a glance at Alicia.
