Chapter 193: Benefits and the lonely queen
“I see,” Remia and Stella whispered.
They were also in a party, so they didn’t have to peek at Alex’s system. Nonetheless, they did it unconsciously, bringing their faces close to him. After seeing the results, Alex felt their stares too close!
He awkwardly spoke, “It’s because of my class, The Husband, right?”
In his system, Alex saw those female siblings leveled up. Remia’s sisters, cousins, and other close family members leveled up significantly due to the dungeon’s raid. They were all girls, candidates for Alex’s husband class.
Alex found it quite weird, though… “I think it’s because of the situation, right? I’m trying to bond with the forest fairies. Maybe the system misunderstood my desire, and it thinks I want to bone everyone?”
Remia pouted, “How can you say it so casually! After all that time, I have been waiting for you…”
Alex patted her hair, “I am trying to be rational here. I don’t have any plans for concubines, remember? Oh, maybe it’s because of the concubine system message? You received that, so the system wants to snatch all fairies girls to my side?”
Remia looked to the side, happy that Alex didn’t have any plans for other fairies but still embarrassed by his words, “I think your class works this way… But who knows? You should try it with male resident friends.”
Alex awkwardly laughed, “In the future, I will try.”
His girls’ reactions covered the crucial fact, though.
Alex’s class could help residents level up, whether their levels had been reset or not. This was an evolutionary fact…
Alex sighed, “I went against the queen’s words, inviting all siblings and others to our party… She might get mad at me.”
After thinking about his power, Alex realized that he could be heavily exploited by others. It wasn’t like he would find a time for everyone, though. And as he thought about it like that, he realized that he had perhaps made a mistake.
However, Remia reassured him, “You have become our close friend. No one will gossip or tell about this power to anyone… Mother might get angry at you, but you haven’t done anything wrong.
We also know that other demi-human tribes won’t be forever our allies. That’s why everyone might actually try to become even friendlier with you. Prepare for a lot of visits, Alex,” Remia chuckled.
Stella also agreed, so Alex casually accepted this fact. He didn’t say it loud that he wanted to please Remia as much as possible.
That would only confirm that people in love made weird things. And although Alex wasn’t in such a deep love, he started developing a genuine affection toward Remia, hoping for a better future.
After their break, Alex and his girls returned to the battle.
A few hours later, the first boss fell. His minions died from the army’s weapons, bringing peace to the forest fairies’ capital.

[The next day.]
After experiencing the might of level hundred existences, Alex had a huge desire to level up. He believed he would be able to do it soon after his exams. He wanted to look out for Sara and Schnee and help them with their missions.
In those quests, he surely would level up a few times.
He was currently in his Tree House.
Naturally, Alex wasn’t alone. He had Stella and Remia by his side. These two had a good relationship, so they casually talked about everyday stuff while making dinner.
Remia knew a few recipes, so she decided to teach Stella a few stuff.
There was no time for any harem battle, so they were like sisters already. Unfortunately for Remia, Stella just kept her eyes on what she was doing, listening silently to all her teachings. She wouldn’t try them out yet, for she was too lazy.
Alex would quench his desire to level up and see others by hovering his eyes on them. He then peeked outside the window.
His Tree House was close to the queen’s tree. His status significantly rose, so his house was in the same environment as the royal family.
He easily could see the most dazzling tree and even meet the queen.
Other than that, Alex had much more privileges in the forest fairies’ land. He could enter all leveling grounds without any fee. He also had fewer taxes here and set up a business without any problem.
His aptitude for nature magic rose. He felt it significantly during his battle against worm minions. Alex easily could maneuver around Remia’s techniques. He also could tell when she would open her traps and use her skills.
It also could be due to their relationship improving, but Alex was the same with other fairies around him.
Overall, Alex had a good time in the forest fairies’ capital.
And then, Alex heard the loud steps coming from his balcony on the highest floor. The sound of high heels was so loud that Alex inferred that the wind magic carried it.
Just like he suspected, the queen had intruded on his house.
“Mother! You can’t just come in like that, can you?” Remia complained while holding a pan.
Yumia stared at her with a grin, then used mana to turn her around, “Don’t waste food, girl.”
Remia pouted while Stella faintly nodded, “Alex doesn’t like wasting time.”
Having these two girls going against her, Remia let out a few fairy complaining noises before wholly returning to her teachings.
But to pay back, she asked Stella more questions, “Do you get it now? Do you remember how I do it?” And so on!
Stella didn’t react, which made Remia sulkier, “I hope you remember it all… If not, then I will take Sara’s place and teach you more about cooking. I will take more lessons too.”
Alex couldn’t help but laugh out loud at them. Stella was herself, not erasing her lazy disposition any time soon.
On the hand, Remia really wanted to work hard. She wouldn’t let any chance to become closer with Alex’s family go.
To help her, Alex whispered to Stella’s ear, “You should learn how to cook the simple and easy-to-digest food. Celia and our future little baby will be thankful.”
“Ok,” Stella replied, her eyes flashing with a new desire to learn. After that, she started reciting everything that Remia had told her before.
And then, she extended her hands to prepare more food. She perfectly followed Remia’s teachings as if mimicking her.
Alex smiled at the two. Remia’s reaction with her eyes widened was particularly funny. He then turned around, looking at the queen.
“I don’t need any reward for helping you level up, the queen,” Alex said, believing that it was the reason Yumia had come here.
She nodded, “You’ve refused my other children and the rest too.” Yumia sighed as she enjoyed the seat by the table, “What should I do now? My conscience won’t allow you to leave my lands empty-handed.”
Stella stopped moving, looking behind at the queen with her golden eyes. She noticed that those words had a different meanings. She didn’t know what the reason was, for she still needed more experience.
In a nutshell, Yumia was here to cure her loneliness. Now that her only single daughter had found a new love, Yumia felt too left behind.
After finishing her duties, Yumia was hit by jealousy. In her years, no one had touched her heart. And even though Alex had done it without actually wanting it, the effect still lingered on her.
Alex stared at her, “The queen can teach me some new moves in chess, then. It will also be a while before girls prepare dinner.”
Yumia’s eyes gleamed with happiness, “Sit down, boy.”
