Curse the Mainframe! 362 My Girlfriend II

Alec took the initiative to explain because he could see how lost his master was feeling at this moment.

Though it wasn't his fault that he'd gotten thrown into another continent by Elysia, he could have sent back word somehow that he was fine, but he had forgotten to. Honestly, there had been too much going on at the moment for him to find time to do something as extensive as that.

Still, his master looked so stunned when he saw him holding hands with Elysia that he felt vaguely guilty even though it had only recently happened.

It wasn't like he'd acknowledged his feelings for her before that, either.

But there was still a strange sense of guilt.

With his master staring at him blankly now, he admitted his relationship with Elysia.

"Master, I recently started dating Elysia with the thought of marriage in the future."

At his sudden words, both Nathan and Elysia looked at him with shock.

Elysia even more so. They were dating on the premise of marriage?

Why hadn't he said anything before this?

But, secretly, Elysia was a little happy. After all, she wanted Alec and only Alec. She had the confidence to walk down the vicissitudes of life with Alec hand in hand, but she had not yet considered marriage.

Rather, it had never occurred to her in the first place.

To hear that he was considering it with her, and that it was a possibility in the future, excited her.

She almost wished that she could chain herself to his side so that she could keep away all the pesky women that lusted over her boyfriend.

Elysia paused slightly, wondering when she'd become such a possessive and overbearing person.

She always thought that the description of jealousy was such a disgusting and hateful thing, but when it came to herself, it turned out that she had such ugly thoughts.

Yet, why was it that she was willing to stain herself black in order to be with this man? She couldn't even describe it in words properly.

However, knowing Alec, he wouldn't be willing for her to stain herself black at all.

A smile curled onto her lips, and she suddenly pressed a kiss to her Alec's cheek. She couldn't control her smile at all, and it felt like her insides had turned into goo just thinking about how seriously he was taking their relationship.

Never mind that he had never mentioned as such to her but seeing him mention it in front of his master, whom he highly revered, was almost like he was introducing her to his father.

Elysia beamed at Alec, squeezing his hand.

Her eyes were soft and sweet, and she looked particularly adorable at this point of time.

The new couple exchanged affectionate gazes, causing Nathan to feel like he was going blind.

To a person who had never had a girlfriend before, they were…

Nathan cleared his throat after five minutes where the two of them just stared at each other with besotted expressions.

First, the sect leader and his wife. Now, his disciple and his girlfriend…

Could he never escape this curse?

Alec continued staring at Elysia, but Elysia turned her attention to Nathan.

She beamed at him, squeezing Alec's hand again. She bowed deeply from where she was, all but shouting, "Please take care of me, master!"

Nathan was made speechless.

Elysia continued, "I've only been dating Alec for a short while, but I won't give up on him no matter what happens in the future, and I know he won't give up on me either. We'll work out whatever issues we have with talking, so please give us your blessing."

Nathan looked at Elysia, who looked perfectly serious, even if her eyes were bright. Her eyes spoke of her determination and her resolve regarding this, but he could also see the affection and adoration in her eyes that spoke of her love for Alec.

He really didn't know what to say. It had only been a short few months, but already, their love had developed to this degree? He didn't know whether or not to be sceptical of their claims. However, he was willing to give them the benefit of doubt.

Nathan turned his gaze to Alec, as if trying to confirm that what he was seeing was real and not a dream.

To his surprise, he could see that Alec, who usually had a gentle expression on his face, melted even further when he looked at Elysia. Anyone who took a glance at him while he was looking at Elysia so softly would instantly understand that he was completely and utterly lost in the river of love.

Nathan looked at them blankly. It seemed like his disciple had grown up without him realizing it…

Suddenly, he was hit with an inexplicable sense of sadness that he missed it while he was sitting behind his desk in the sect.

Was this what every master felt when their disciple had started to grow up and left the shelter of their wings?

Nathan sighed a little, before looking between the two of them. Hopefully, they would be able to face whatever challenges they came across together.

He would bless them from the bottom of his heart.

If this failed, then as his master, Nathan would always be here to pick up the pieces of his heart…

Before he could say anything, however, he was interrupted by Alec.

"Master, I seem to be a Cher. As well as a Sin. Is that possible?"

The words that had been about to leave his throat were choked there. "What?" he said instead.

Then, before either of them could say anything, he thought about it quickly. "It's not impossible. It's possible that the array that registers your Societype registered you as an Every instead because you have two Societypes."

Alec inclined his head, but he still wondered why that was.

Nathan continued thinking out loud. "It's possible that Everys are usually an equal ratio of two Societypes, thereby rendering one or the other Societype neutral, thus causing what seems to be an 'average' amongst the common population."

Elysia just listened silently at the side. She hadn't even known about the existence of Societypes before leaving the place she stayed with her dad earlier on, so she was quite the blank slate in that regard.

Alec was thinking hard about it. However, he had presented as a Sin earlier on – and it was only when his mother had done something to him that his status on the crystal changed to Every.

Could it be that she'd somehow induced his recessive genes or something? She herself had been a Cher –

For the moment, Alec put aside the matter. Right now, he was introducing Elysia to his master, not here to ponder about the mystery of their genes affecting their Societypes.

Alec bowed his head sincerely, introducing Elysia to his master again. "Master, please bless our future union."

Elysia also hurriedly bowed, but she couldn't stop the smile from spreading on her face. "Please bless us, master!"

Nathan smiled faintly despite how thrown-off he'd been regarding this matter, reaching forward and touching both of their heads, patting them lightly. Their hair was vey soft and fluffy.

"You have my blessing," he said simply.

Finally, Alec's attention was drawn to his master, and the smile that spread across his face was no less gentle than the one that he used to look at Elysia.

The two of them held hands happily, and Nathan felt a sense of gratification when he saw that.

He just hoped that Elysia wouldn't break his disciple's heart. Otherwise… well, he'd show her why he was an Array Master.

At this moment, the door burst open, startling Nathan, who had been lost in his thoughts.
