After Stealing Hero's Mother, I Reincarnated in the Fantasy World!-Chapter 110: A-Auntie? Are you alright...?
"Sorry Aunty, I didn’t mean to mention it..."
"It’s okay, I’m fine."
Celestia showed a smile, a more genuine one this time. She really did feel better than usual.
"Train well and I’ll take you to suppress the Demons next time."
Celestia stroked her niece’s head.
"Have you ever wondered what 100 Demon heads stacked on top of each other looks like?"
"When I was your age I was always interested in this question. Unfortunately there was no one to help me with it and show me. But you have me!"
She patted herself on the chest with a kind smile.
"Of course, Aunty..."
Celestia talked about it like it was just a normal trip to the store.
’I suppose this is the behavior of a woman who has dedicated herself to the Family and the extermination of Demons.’
Part of the Winderlines’ fame lay with Celestia, who had spent decades glorifying their name on the battlefield, brutally and mercilessly destroying Demons.
"So tell that to Liana and your brother— ahem...I’ll talk to him myself."
Celestia avoided her niece’s gaze, feeling guilty.
Again. Again the handsome face of a man much younger than her came into her mind.
Even just concentrating on her work had been difficult lately, as his face came to her mind far too often.
’It’s been a few days since then, hasn’t it?’
No matter how much she thought about what had happened that day, her body was beginning to unknowingly heat up, not allowing her to resist, and her heart was beating at a frantic pace.
"I want you to be my woman."
At that moment she was so glad that he had finally given up his hopeless pursuit of Alice and abandoned her that she did something that shouldn’t happen between aunt and nephew.
And over the past couple of days, she had fully realized the depth of what had happened between them.
’With my age... How am I supposed to look others in the eye now?’
’If Faelia finds out about this, she’ll kill me. I’m ready to kill myself, though.’
’And what can I even say to her in justification?’
’Sorry sister, it just so happens that I seduced your handsome son with my breasts and we did something we shouldn’t have done. Oh yes, he was also hungry, so I gave him my milk.’
If the Winderline Mansion doesn’t turn into charred chunks afterward, then Faelia won’t be Faelia.
Celestia decided that the sooner their improper relationship ended, the safer it would be for everyone.
’I must go to him and tell him everything.’
She was clearly aware of what needed to be done. But still...
’I’ll do it tomorrow.’
She couldn’t do it right now.
"By the way, Mom asked you to stop by and see her when you get back."

"Yeah...? I wonder what she wants... haha..."
Nervously averting her gaze from her niece, Celestia laughed crookedly.
Before Eliana realized it, they were in Celestia’s office. Explore new worlds at novelbuddy
Eliana cast an odd glance at the red couch she was sitting on.
’Why does this couch remind me of something?’
When she wanted to sniff around and find out why.
...!
Celestia stopped her.
"This couch. Ahem. It might be dirty, so don’t do that."
Protecting her secrets, Celestia looked around.
No one, not even her faithful butler Ekos had the right to enter her office. So obviously everything was still the same here as she had last seen it.
Or so she thought.
A small scrap of paper on the table proved that someone had been here.
She picked it up in her hands and recognised the owner just by seeing the handwriting.
"A note from Rain?"
Intrigued, she began to read.
But with each word she read, her expression changed and her face grew redder and redder, until finally her fist clenched, completely destroying the note.
Crack!
Some of her power was out of her control, causing the table to crack in half.
"A-Auntie? Are you alright...?"
Eliana looked at Celestia with justifiable fear.
Celestia turned to her and smiled. The problem was, that smile wasn’t a smile.
Gulp.
Eliana swallowed.
’Is she going to go hunt Demons right now?’
"Yes, Eliana. I’m perfectly fine. It’s just that I suddenly remembered that I need to visit my Nephew later."
After all the conflicting thoughts about Rain, her defenseless heart was a mess. And that note had proved to be the last straw.
"Eliana, you want a drink?"
"Yes...?"
The request was unexpected, but she instinctively agreed.
The last thing she wanted was to deny Celestia while she was in this state. Especially after everything that had happened, Eliana wanted to do something like that too.
Celestia pulled out an unusual bottle from her Storage Ring.
Because of the level of power their bodies possessed, ordinary alcohol couldn’t even have a strong effect on Eliana, let alone Celestia.
Of course, even here there were exceptions and there was a special Alcohol that could affect regardless of one’s cultivation level.
It was a rare thing, but the bottle in Celestia’s hands was one of them.
"Astrid gave it to me once, saying she brought it back from the Northlands, where it snows all year round. Can you imagine that?"
She pulled out two glasses.
"They say you can only feel the atmosphere of the North by drinking this."
The liquid in the bottle sparkled in the light of her office, shimmering with different colors. It was beautiful, though...
"...Looks strong."
"Of course! Because of the eternal cold in the North, they only drink the strongest drinks."
Celestia explained, pouring it into glasses.
"But Aunty... are you sure you’re safe to do this?"
"Huh? What are you implying?"
Celestia pouted her lips.
"Don’t worry, your Auntie is a great drinker!"
She patted her chest, raising her glass.
15 minutes later.
"Eeeeek... Eli... I don’t feel so good..."
"Eli… I think someone poisoned my wine..."
"Eli… My chest is so heavy… help me..."
Eliana, red after all the drinking but still in better condition than Celestia, explained to her.
"You’re just drunk, Auntie."
"No...! I’m innately immune to alcohol...! Eeeek... it’s definitely poison..."
Celestia stood up from the couch.
"See for yourself!"
She grabbed the bottle of alcohol and shoved it into Eliana’s mouth. The Young Lady’s lips instinctively embraced it and before she could realize anything, the hot liquid flowed into her.
"Thash enough! Schtop! E-enough…!"
Soon Eliana was in no better condition than Celestia.
"Rain… all night… I hate it… my legs still hurt..."
Lying on the couch next to Celestia, Eliana muttered to herself.
"Yeah… Rain is bad… Eeeeek… that note… and my milk..."
’Rain? Did she just say Rain?
Eliana’s eyes narrowed, though she was too drunk to understand anything right now.
’I’ll deal with it later.’
With that last effort of will, she blacked out.
It wasn’t known how much time had passed, but there was the sound of steady footsteps in Celestia’s office.
The blurry silhouette of a man appeared in her field of vision and with it the smell of her favourite sweets entered her nose.
Though she couldn’t see him clearly, something inside told her.
"Eeeeek...Rain?"
