Lewd System: Every Scream and Moan is EXP Chapter 338 : New Problem [2]

"Oh Delphy, thank goodness you are here!" Lavinia wheezed while grabbing her shoulders. "I am on a very serious mission to find Professor Jax and my sources promised me he would be somewhere in this exact mall. I desperately need your help locating him before my feet just completely give up on me."

But then she caught sight of the familiar pair of eyes peering through a knight’s visor right behind Delphine’s frame. She abandoned Delphine immediately, dashed to Jax and latched onto his arm while wheezing loudly. "Huuuff... huuuff... finally found you, Professor."

Jax tried his hardest to shake her off but her grip was fused to his arm like she had been welded there. "If you stalked me all the way here just to cry about rethinking your test or beg for grace marks then my answer is a rock solid no."

Lavinia managed between gasps. "No, Professor, I swear I did not come here for—"

But before she could finish her sentence a voice cut through the entire mall from a distance with enough volume to make every head in the building turn.

"What in the hell is going on here?!"

Not only did the group freeze but the entire surrounding audience did too because Astrid had just announced her presence to the whole mall and she was not happy about what her eyes were showing her.

She walked toward them with her gaze locked onto Jax. "I leave you completely alone for a few measly minutes and you are already up to some nonsense."

Jax said immediately. "You are getting the situation entirely wrong. These girls only ambushed me here to cry about their final test scores."

Astrid crossed her arms and a vein visibly bulged on her forehead. "And who exactly argues about grades while clinging onto someone like a leech?"

Her eyes dropped to the sight of Lavinia’s incredibly generous chest currently crushing itself against Jax’s trapped arm and a wave of fiery jealousy hit her so hard it nearly knocked her composure off a cliff.

A truly devastating realization echoed through her mind. ’I really should have listened to my father when he kept telling me to drink more milk to grow properly.’

But she shoved that thought aside and screamed with enough fury to rattle the store windows. "ALBERT!"

A man appeared from the crowd. It was Albert, out of his armor and dressed like a civilian, but the terror on his face was fully militarized. He was already dreading whatever order was about to land on his head especially with this many witnesses around.

Astrid commanded. "Get this girl out of my sight this very second."

Albert moved instantly, grabbing Lavinia and pulling her away from Jax with trained efficiency before his lady’s mood could escalate into something that involved actual bloodshed in a public mall.

But Lavinia protested loudly. She fought against Albert’s grip with everything she had and in her desperate resistance she shoved Jax’s trapped arm deep between the gap of her massive assets and squeezed. "I absolutely cannot leave like this because I am on a highly classified mission to deliver a love letter directly to Professor Jax!"

Hearing those dangerously cursed words Albert paused dead in his tracks without receiving any order to stop. A wave of pure existential dread hit his soul and in that moment he deeply cursed his father for swearing eternal loyalty to the Aleris bloodline.

Astrid’s voice dropped to something lethally quiet. "What exactly did you just say?"

Lavinia pulled a letter from her pocket while still being held by Albert and waved it proudly. "Some incredibly beautiful girl entrusted me with this very important job of acting as a bridge to deliver her true feelings because she was probably just too shy to confess directly! She is definitely head over heels for the Professor considering she knew his exact location and even knew he would be wandering around in knight armor!"

Jax snatched the letter from her hand and crushed it in his fist. "It’s bullshit. I don’t even—"

Astrid’s voice came cold and surgical. "If you truly do not care about this girl then you should have absolutely no problem letting me read this letter to learn her name and your entire story together. Finding all that out will simply make it incredibly easy for me to select the perfect magnitude of her death and your punishment."

Jax didn’t say a single word. Not because he was guilty but because he had absolutely no clue what was happening and any response he gave right now had a hundred percent chance of making things worse.

Astrid took the crumpled letter from his frozen hand and unfolded it with the patience of someone preparing to read a death warrant.

She began reading out loud. "Dear Jax. I am truly sorry I was unable to meet you and convey my deep feelings toward you in person due to some unavoidable factors. I am also incredibly sorry for secretly studying every little detail about you from the shadows. But there is absolutely no denying the fact that the more I learn about you, the harder I fall. Each and every single act of yours simply makes me crave you more."

Astrid paused. She looked up at Jax who was visibly sweating inside his helmet. Then she looked back down at the crumpled paper and continued.

"I recently discovered how you went completely solo to save the Queen of Veldora. I was honestly quite stunned by your heroics and admired it to the point where I desperately wanted to witness that exact scene with my own two eyes rather than just hearing the rumors."

Her reading voice was getting slower now. Colder.

"And surprise. The gods actually heard my wish and told me to simply recreate the entire scenario myself. But this time I get to choose exactly how much difficulty to add, just to see how far the person I admire will truly go."

Astrid’s grip on the letter tightened.

"Let us see how you manage to save her from my grip this time, Jax. I am patiently waiting for your grand arrival. And so is the lovely little hostage trapped here beside me."

The air in the mall had gone completely dead.

"You might want to hurry up though, because I just discovered a truly fascinating little secret. I can clearly sense a tiny secondary mana core forming deep inside her belly."

Astrid’s hands were shaking now. Not from jealousy. Not from anger. From something far worse.

"Let us see if you can save both of them today."

She read the final line in a voice that had lost every trace of emotion.

"From your dearest admirer, Loki."
