Chapter 257 - The Demon King's Task

Because of Kamia's slip-up, Alice had no choice but to acknowledge her "relationship" with Kamia now.

The reason for this was simple.

Kamia had already addressed Alice with the ambiguous nickname of "Mama." If Alice were in a relationship with Kamia, Gel could more or less interpret this nickname as a special play between Alice and Kamia.

Recently, it had become a trend on the internet for people to address young girls as their mothers.

Although Gel wasn't an avid internet user, he had to go onto the internet frequently to gather information due to his job.

Hence, he had seen the various people and trends present on the internet.

He had also seen quite a number of netizens addressing young girls as their mothers.

Because of this, he assumed that Kamia had been influenced by these people.

If Alice were to deny being in a relationship with Kamia at this time and explain the situation, Gel might end up suspecting that she had tampered with her little sister's mind.

After all, no matter how one looked at it, there was no way a normal person would address a younger girl, who they had only met recently, as "Mama."

They couldn't pretend that they had known each other for a long time, either.

From what Alice had gathered through talking to Kamia while waiting for Gel to arrive, Kamia might be a live streamer, but her easy-going personality was only limited to the internet.

When it came to the real world, she was quite a socially awkward person.

As Kamia's elder brother, Gel would naturally know Kamia's personality.

So, if he learned that Alice and Kamia weren't actually in a relationship and that they had only met for the first time today, he would definitely suspect that Alice had done something to Kamia.

Otherwise, there'd be no explaining why Kamia would call a little girl she was meeting for the first time as "Mama."

"I won't meddle in whatever fetishes you have since you are already grown up and have the right to your own interests… So long as you don't do anything that will cause harm to yourself and others, I will support you," Gel said.

After mentally struggling with himself for a while, he eventually came to terms with his little sister's situation.

At the end of the day, his affection for his little sister triumphed over everything.

"But you two can keep this nickname to yourselves.

I won't be participating in this matter."

Alice quickly directed a warning glance at Kamia.

Kamia also knew that she had subconsciously misspoke, so she simply kept quiet in response to Gel's lecture to avoid creating more trouble.

Unfortunately, the damage was already done.

Gel's misunderstanding of Alice and Kamia being in a relationship was solidified, and Alice had no idea when or how she could resolve this misunderstanding in the future.

Gel was Ellu Shax's right-hand man.

In other words, he could learn about Alice's identity as the Demon King from Ellu at any time.

When that happened, he would most likely think that his little sister had managed to get herself into a relationship with the Demon King, and it would become even more troublesome to resolve the misunderstanding.

After all, the Demon King's every action had many implications.

"By the way, is it alright to leave her like that" Gel asked as he turned to the corner of the room.

Currently, Andusia was being strung up upside down with a vine, her complexion deathly pale and looking like she would faint at any moment.

When Gel first arrived outside Demon King Castle, he could still sense a powerful source of mana inside Andusia's miniature body.

Now, though, all of that mana had seemingly disappeared.

"Ignore her.

She won't die," Alice said, coldly snorting as she looked at Andusia.

A large part of Gel's misunderstanding over the situation was because of Andusia fanning the flames.

Hence, Alice sealed Andusia's mana with the Forest Crystal and strung her upside down as punishment.

However, since Andusia's body was made from Living Wood, she didn't actually have any internal organs.

So, even if she was hung upside down, there'd be no need to worry that she might go into shock because blood had rushed into her brain.

At most, it would cause her to feel a little uncomfortable.

Alice felt that this was a lesson she needed to teach Andusia.

Otherwise, this old fossil would constantly be causing trouble for her.

Since Alice had already said so, Gel suppressed his curiosity despite his desire to learn more about the talking figurine.

Instead, he shifted his attention to Alice and started talking about business:

"So, you want me to help you check if any spatial pockets are hidden in this room, right"

"That's right.

I'm sure you can guess it, but this place is the secret room of Grant, the previous generation's Demon King, and I am trying to find some of the books he had kept hidden away," Alice said, nodding.

Alice considered Gel one of her people now.

Since Kamia was now treating her as her mother, while Gel was treating her as Kamia's lover, Alice felt that Gel could already be regarded as trustworthy, albeit just barely.

Hence, she did not mind sharing the details of her plan with Gel.

"However, I couldn't find any useful books on the bookshelf here, so we suspect that he might have opened a spatial pocket in this room and stored his important belongings inside."

"The former Demon King...

Spatial magicians might be rare, but if it's a Demon King, he can indeed find one to do his bidding whenever he wants," Gel said, nodding.

Then, he looked at Alice curiously and continued, "Although I'm curious why a human like you would want to find a Demon King's hidden book collection, I won't pry into the matter seeing as you are my sister-in-law."

Alice chuckled awkwardly when she heard Gel's reasoning.

She couldn't help but find this new identity strangely awkward.

"The spatial density in this room is indeed abnormal.

The likelihood that someone has created a spatial pocket here is high."

Just like how mind magicians had their own professional knowledge to read a person's memories code, spatial magicians also had their own professional knowledge that allowed them to inspect the spatial density of an area.

Then, with this information, they could calculate whether an area had been affected by spatial magic.

Gel was a spatial magician who had managed to become a Heavenly King's right-hand man, so his talent and abilities went without saying.

After walking two circles around the room, he had already finished calculating the room's spatial density.

Afterward, he took out a small notebook and a pen from his pocket before scribbling for around five minutes.

Although Alice had tried to sneak a peek, when she found that she understood none of the formulas Gel had written in his notebook, she quickly abandoned her idea and stood aside with Kamia.

"Yes, there should be a spatial pocket in this room," Gel concluded.

Thankfully, there was limited space in this secret room.

The room was also located underground and surrounded by rocks and dirt.

This, in turn, reduced the area in which he needed to account for in his calculations.

Hence, he was able to reach a conclusion very quickly.

"It should be here."

After saying so, Gel pointed at the space directly above the experiment table.
