Lackey's Seducing Survival Odyssey

Chapter 1867: N̶o̶ ̶1̶8̶+̶ ̶C̶o̶n̶t̶e̶n̶t̶

“…” Young Aether stood there like a man frozen in place, his eyes fixed on the woman before him.

He had never imagined that he would see her here, of all places. For several seconds, he simply stared at her, unable to decide whether what he was seeing was real or… another fragment of his alcohol-clouded memory.

He tried to piece together what had happened, but no matter how hard he searched his memory, everything after he got drunk remained an indistinct blur.

He had no idea how she had gotten here, how she had found him, or, more importantly, why she was here in the first place.

But there was one question that mattered more than all the others.

“That destruction outside… was that you?”

Lia sat nakedly on the bed, her golden hair falling loosely around her shoulders as she avoided his gaze.

“Destruction? What destruction? Mommy hasn’t done anything,” she said.

“…”

Young Aether fell silent.

She did it.

There was no doubt in his mind. He could see it in the way she avoided looking directly at him, and yet he still couldn’t understand why she had done it.

Considering how crazy she was about him… had he complained to her about something?

Had he said something while he was drunk?

Had he asked her to do something that he simply couldn’t remember now?

‘Fuck! Why can’t I remember?’

He frowned deeply, rubbing his temple as another strange sensation caught his attention.

‘Why am I feeling… lighter?’

It wasn’t exactly happiness, nor was it relief. The sensation was subtler than either of those things.

Something about his mind felt different from yesterday.

His thoughts seemed slightly clearer.

As if a door that had remained firmly shut inside his mind had suddenly opened.

And all he had to do was walk through it.

His eyes were still dull, and he still couldn’t feel much emotionally. The emptiness that had followed him for so long remained, but underneath it, something had changed.

Something inside him felt… open?

Young Aether rubbed his forehead, genuinely confused by the sensation.

“What happened…?”

He furrowed his brows, trying to make sense of it.

Maybe the alcohol had somehow cleared his mind?

“So? How do you feel?”

Lia’s sudden question pulled him from his thoughts.

Young Aether narrowed his eyes.

“How do I feel?… Do you know something?”

Lia blinked at him before puffing out her cheeks in a small pout.

“So you really don’t remember? Mommy took care of you all night, you know.”

Young Aether stared at her.

“Took care of me…?”

Did they fuck?

Judging by the fact that both of them were naked, it certainly wasn’t an unreasonable conclusion.

“Did we… do it?”

Young Aether asked bluntly.

Lia tilted her head, her expression becoming almost innocently confused.

“Do what?”

Young Aether shrugged.

“Like… we fucked?”

Lia’s eyes widened before she covered her mouth and giggled.

“Silly. Mommy wouldn’t disturb her sleeping baby.”

Young Aether let out a small sigh and shook his head.

“Okay. How did you—”

“I just breastfed you.”

“…”

Young Aether’s lips slowly parted.

For a moment, he simply stared at her.

Surely he had heard that wrong.

Maybe his ears were still playing tricks on him after all the wine he had consumed.

Yes.

That had to be it.

Hahah… how ridiculous.

There was no way he had been breastfed like a child.

“I’m not kidding, though.”

Lia’s expression suddenly became deadly serious. She looked directly at him, as though she already knew exactly what was going through his mind.

Young Aether blinked.

Once.

Twice!

“Ha… haha… Y-you’re joking, right?”

His laugh came out awkwardly, “I mean… I would never… That’s… disgusting… ewww.”

Lia’s eyes suddenly became teary.

“‘Eww?’ How could you forget, my love? You were so happy last night. All night, you sucked mommy’s titties.

You spent the whole night drinking from mommy!!

If you don’t believe me… look.”

She pointed toward her breasts, drawing his attention to the marks left on her puffed nipples.

“…”

Young Aether’s face slowly changed.

The colour seemed to drain from his expression as his eyes fixed on the marks. His right eye twitched involuntarily.

He stared at them for several long seconds, unable to produce a single word.

“See… my love’s proof!” Lia pouted, her lips pursed as she looked as though she were genuinely on the verge of crying. But then her expression suddenly changed as a thought crossed her mind.

What if her son was simply too embarrassed to ask for another drink?

Was that the reason he was acting like this?

That must be it, right?

He planned this to suck tits again but was too embarrassed to ask, right?

Lia’s expression immediately softened into one of exaggerated pity.

“Oh, my poor baby… You don’t have to act like this. If you want mommy’s milk again, you don’t need to be embarrassed to ask about it.

Mommy is ready to fill you with milk whenever you want. Come, baby… come to mommy~”

She spread her arms invitingly, beckoning him toward her embrace with an almost absurdly affectionate smile.

“…” Young Aether stared blankly at her.

He must be dreaming.

There was absolutely no way he was going to do that.

A man like him… would never stoop to that level!

He… was THE MAN!

Young Aether took a slow breath before narrowing his eyes suspiciously.

“Wait… was that the reason I feel… weird now?”

Lia immediately lifted her chin with a proud smile, as though she had just solved the greatest medical mystery in history.

“See? You’re feeling it! I told you, you’d be all right after drinking mommy’s milk~ How are you feeling? Do you feel great? Maybe another round of milk? I hope you want more. Mommy loves you~”

Young Aether stood there like a dead animal.

He stared at her for several seconds, his expression becoming increasingly empty.

He had absolutely no idea how his life had reached this point.

Then…

Click.

The sound of the door opening echoed through the room.

Young Aether instantly turned toward it.

His expression froze.

He remembered exactly who might be entering.

“Uncle, are you alrigh—”

Lily stepped inside and immediately froze.

Her eyes widened when she saw her uncle standing there naked.

Her entire face flushed crimson.

She instantly turned around and covered her face with both hands.

“W-What are you doing naked?!”

Young Aether remained frozen for a second before instinctively glancing to the side.

There was no naked woman.

Where did Lia go?

Was he imagining all of this?—

Then a small, cute little bat cautiously peeked out from beneath the quilt.

Young Aether stared at it.

‘Nope. She’s real.’

He sighed internally before raising his voice.

“Give me a second… Lily.”

He quickly turned around and began searching for his clothes.

Where the hell had she put them?

He searched around the room while still completely naked, looking beneath the sheets and around the bed.

Meanwhile, Lily stood with her back turned, her face still burning red. She could hear the rustling of clothes behind her, and somehow that only made her embarrassment worse.

“Hmm…”

She hummed quietly.

Curiosity eventually got the better of her.

Lily slowly turned her head while keeping most of her face hidden behind her hands.

‘Did he put his clothes back on?’

She cautiously peeked through the gaps between her fingers.

Her eyes immediately widened.

She caught sight of his broad shoulders, defined biceps and triceps, and the powerful muscles running across his torso. His physique was far more imposing than she had expected, and the sight left her momentarily speechless.

Then her gaze shifted lower… towards cro—

“…”

She froze.

Bat?

Lily blinked rapidly.

Had she just seen…

A small black bat with glowing red eyes?

On her uncle’s crotch?

She quickly covered her face again.

‘Did I hurt my brain or something?’

She hesitated before slowly parting her fingers once more.

This time, she caught another glimpse of his physique, from his broad shoulders to his narrow waist and muscular legs.

Then…

Bat?

She blinked several times.

What was going on?

Lily slowly turned her head again, unable to resist her curiosity.

She was just about to take another peek when—

“Stop peeking at my child, bitch!”

A deadly voice suddenly erupted from directly in front of her.

Two crimson eyes appeared terrifyingly close to her face.

“KYAA!!”

Lily screamed and fell backwards in horror.

“Lily?” Young Aether called out as he finished putting on his clothes and walked over to her.

Lily was still sitting on the floor, her face flushed and her breathing slightly uneven from the sudden fright. Her eyes darted toward him before immediately shifting away again, as though she was still struggling to process what she had just seen.

“D-Did you see it?” she asked nervously. “That bat… did you?”

Young Aether tilted his head in confusion.

“No… what are you talking about?”

His gaze slowly swept across the old house. “Maybe this old house has a few… hidden creatures.”

His eyes subtly shifted toward the space underneath the bed.

Lia, now hiding there in her tiny bat form, immediately noticed his gaze.

The little bat poked her head out from beneath the bed and stuck out her tongue at him with a childish expression.

Young Aether’s eyebrow twitched, then he sighed quietly before extending his hand toward Lily.

“Come on.”

Lily hesitated for a moment before accepting his hand.

He pulled her carefully back onto her feet and steadied her when she stumbled slightly.

She parted her lips to ask,

“Are you all right? The street is completely—”

“Did your father ask you to pick me up?” Young Aether interrupted bluntly.

Lily blinked.

“Yeah… how did you—”

Before she could finish the sentence, Young Aether grabbed her arm and started pulling her toward the car.

“Let’s go.”

Lily stumbled after him.

“Wait, Uncle! You’re walking too fast!”

Young Aether didn’t stop.

Lily was still confused by how quickly everything had happened. One moment she had been worrying about her uncle, the next she had walked into a bizarre scene, seen something that may or may not have been a talking bat, and was now being dragged toward the car without receiving a single proper explanation.

Still, she followed him.

Once they reached the car, Lily climbed into the driver’s seat while Young Aether settled into the passenger seat.

As the car slowly pulled away from the house, Lily glanced through the windshield.

The destruction outside immediately became more apparent.

Young Aether silently watched everything through the window.

“Do you know what happened around this area?” Young Aether asked.

Lily nodded.

“You really don’t know? The whole street was attacked last night. They said some kind of monster tore through the area.”

She glanced at him briefly before returning her attention to the road and continued,

“I was shocked when I saw your house. Everything around it was destroyed, but your place was untouched.”

She frowned and glanced toward him.

“How could a monster destroy everything around it and somehow leave a small house completely unharmed?”

“How is that even possible?”

Young Aether’s expression remained blank.

He looked out through the window again.

‘So she really caused all this…’

His eyes narrowed slightly.

‘Ah.’

Young Aether leaned his head against the window and quietly watched the ruined scenery pass by.

He didn’t answer Lily.

Even when she tried to continue the conversation.

“Hmm.”

“I don’t know.”

“Maybe.”

“I don’t remember.”

His mind was somewhere else entirely.

Young Aether stared at the reflection of his own face in the window… he finally raised his hand and looked at the ring.

“Did… you know what happened exactly after I got drunk?”

He whispered to his Ring. There was hesitation in his voice as if… the words he said to RIN still echoed.

For several seconds, RIN remained silent.

Then

“Mother-Con.”

Young Aether’s lips twitched.

He slowly closed his eyes.

Of course.

She knew.

RIN had heard everything.

Every single word.

From the moment he got drunk, she had been there.

And judging by that single response, she had apparently decided that “Mother-Con” was the most appropriate summary of the entire disaster.

Even her processing system had apparently disabled while dealing with what had happened.

Young Aether’s face tightened.

“…You heard everything?”

A moment later, the recording began playing through his earpiece.

The voices of Aether and Lia echoed quietly in his ear.

He listened.

One sentence.

Then another.

His expression gradually changed.

At first, he looked mildly confused.

Then his eyebrows began to rise.

Then his eyes widened.

His face slowly lost all expression.

Finally…

Pure horror appeared in his eyes.

He listened to the entire recording without interrupting.

Every word.

Every embarrassing exchange.

Every ridiculous statement.

Young Aether’s fingers slowly tightened around his forehead.

Did he…

Really drink her milk?

For real?

He had apparently spent the entire night drinking her milk like a baby.

His face slowly twisted into an expression of absolute disbelief.

‘What the fuck was I even thinking?’

He wanted to deny it!

Young Aether slowly sank deeper into his seat.

‘Seriously… I drank her milk all night like a fucking baby.’

He pressed his fingers against his temples.

‘What kind of fucking face was I even making?’

Dang!!

‘Wait…’

Another thought suddenly struck him.

‘How did she even have milk in the first place?’

His expression became even worse.

Far behind the car, something small moved through the sky.

A tiny black bat followed them silently, flying from rooftop to rooftop before disappearing behind trees and buildings whenever anyone looked in her direction.

Lia’s crimson eyes remained fixed on the car.

Her tiny face carried an expression of deep suspicion.

“Who is that bitch?” she muttered.

Her little wings fluttered faster as she followed the vehicle.

“She’s obviously trying to get into my son’s pants.”

Her cheeks puffed up.

“Hmph! Hmph! Absolutely not. I won’t let some woman steal my baby away from me!”

With that, the tiny bat continued following them, maintaining a safe distance while keeping a watchful eye on her son.
