Chapter 56: 56. Setting Out! Herb Village is the Demon King’s Next Adventure

Aaron was packed and poised to set out on his journey to the Herb village as he had agreed with Souzane. He did the final checks to be sure that he had everything he would need for the journey and when he was done, he slung the one bag he carried with him across his body and left his room.

He looked back at the room one more time before shutting the door and locking it.

The young man whistled excitedly as he strolled down the stairs, only to meet Alicia standing at the end of the steps below him with a flask in her hands and a saddened look on her face.

Alicia held the flask well enough and lowered her gaze from her son, with a cherry red hue noticeable on her baby face.

Aaron stopped and walked down the steps a bit slower than he was doing just a second ago.

"Mother?" he breathed, wondering what she was doing, just standing there like a statue.

As Aaron reached closer to her, Alicia stretched out her hands and handed him the flask. Aaron took the flask with great thanks.

He inhaled and took a glance at the top of the flask. "Hmmm!"

Even if he had not opened it yet he could already tell from the aroma that hit his nostrils just now what was inside the flask.

"This smells really nice. Thanks, mother," he said, going in closely for a hug, and as they hugged Alicia pecked him twice on the cheeks.

If she had her way, Aaron would not be making this trip but she didn’t and she understood that he had to go. After all, he had told her that it was for a business and that meant that the travel to Herb village would help his clinic boom. For Alicia, no matter how selfish her desires had grown over the years as it concerned her son, Aaron, there was one thing that superseded her desire to have him all to herself... and that was Aaron’s welfare.

Anything that would benefit Aaron in any way, Alicia was willing to do it. Even if she wasn’t able to do so, she would at least try. One might argue that this should be typical of every mother naturally. Of course, the argument is not wrong but once such behaviour becomes high-handed, it turns into a thing of worry.

Alicia picked Aaron’s left hand with both of hers, applying gentle pressure in rubbing his hand as she held him. She looked into his eyes and made one request of him.

"Please be careful, dear," she said with utmost concern laced in her motherly tone of voice.

Aaron chuckled and nodded. "Hehehe, I will, mother. It’s not like I am going to fight in a war or something, but I will be careful. I promise."

Aaron bent forward, caressed her black hair on the side of her face and kissed her on the forehead. This simple kiss caused her to squirm and put her hands in between her laps as under there sharpened with a surge of pleasurable sensation that made her legs tremble albeit moderately.

"O-Okay," Alicia answered back with a flushed face as she bit her right index finger and averted her gaze from Aaron after the kiss.

He walked past her and made straight for the door. And as he opened the door to leave, Aaron felt two arms suddenly wrap tightly around his belly and when he glanced down at them, it was Alicia’s arms wrapped around him in a bear hug from behind.

Aaron stopped and after a little struggle, he was able to turn around. He looked at his mother and smiled.

As he stroked her hair gently, he said, "I will be back before you know it, mother. No need to worry so much about me. I will be fine."

Alicia nodded in understanding and raised her legs from the floor to kiss him on the lips but Aaron stopped her midway with a finger that pressed against her lush lips. This made her feel instant shame and a feeling of rejection. She began to slightly twitch and fiddle with her hands.

"B-Bye... dear," she stuttered.

"Bye, mother."

Aaron began his journey.

****

Before he departed finally, Aaron had one more goodbye to say. That goodbye was to Elsa, his apprentice.

In the Touch of Nirvana Clinic, Elsa was busy and so focused while attending to a client that she had not even noticed his presence at the entrance.

"You must really love this work," Aaron said with a chuckle, startling both Elsa and the client with his sudden interruption.

Aaron leaned on the edge of the door with folded arms, watching what was going on.

"M-Master?" Elsa blurted out.

The client also knew who Aaron was and nodded in his direction, a sign of greeting.

"You’re leaving already?" Elsa asked as she rose from her seat.

She walked past the client and patted his shoulder. "Please, give me a second," she said.

The client bobbed his head. "Okay."

Aaron walked away from the room and entered into his office with Elsa following behind him.

As she entered, she closed the door and turned to see Aaron sitting on the table and looking at her with folded arms.

She didn’t know what to think as she still felt awkward from the last time he spoke to her.

"Come, Elsa," Aaron said with a hand extended to her. "I have something for you."

Elsa pointed to her chest. "Me?"

Aaron nodded in affirmation. "Mhm! Come."

Elsa walked slowly but surely closer to Aaron, close enough for him to hold her hand without having to reach very far.

"Turn around and close your eyes."

Elsa gulped. She wasn’t sure if she wanted to do that but only did so because she trusted her master.

She did just as Aaron had told her to and closed her eyes. Aaron stood up behind her, their bodies touching each other and her big, delicate bum rubbing against his junior inside the pair of trousers he had on. Elsa felt the rigid mass of her master’s junior down there and a cold shiver shrouded her body.

Aaron moved his hand over her neck and after a few seconds he removed them with Elsa feeling a negligible weight on her neck.

"You can turn and open them now," he whispered into her ears, causing them to itch pleasantly.

Elsa turned and slowly opened her eyes with her fingers rubbing over the surface of whatever it was that her master put on her neck.

As she saw it, her eyes gaped with surprise and her mouth widened into a magnanimous smile.

"Woah!"
