Chapter 5: What! Sugatti!!!
"I am ready, Kael~ you can turn around now," Seraphine said.
Kael heard her words but didn't turn around. For a moment he thought she might be playing a prank on him and he would find her standing naked, which he didn't think he would be able to handle right now just after the kiss.
"You are not lying to me, are you, Sera?"
He called her Sera because her name was too long, and it sounded good to call her Sera.
She heard him. A smile appeared on her face, knowing how he had given her a nickname made her feel they were closer.
She didn't reply as the sound of her boots echoed through the wooden floor, she was moving.
Kael heard her footsteps. He panicked a bit as she didn't answer when he asked her if she was dressed or not.
"D-Don't try anything funny now, I am w-warning you."
Seraphine didn't stop and reached him. Without warning, she grabbed onto his hand.
He shrieked a little, feeling her latch onto his arm. He could even feel her boobs pressed against him. He turned around nervously to see.
Seraphine wore a classy casual outfit. He didn't know she liked this kind of style, but it suited her perfectly—her white high collar blouse, high waist black shorts, matching black stockings with straps connected to her shorts, along with a cute black tie, which she rocked with black boots.
She looked gorgeous. For a minute he lost himself looking at her. The clear contrast between her green hair flowing on her shoulder and her shirt made her look even more eye-catching.
'She is beautiful.'
"Y-You look good." He didn't shy away as the compliment came from his heart.
Seraphine's heart bloomed from his direct compliment. It wasn't the first she got complimented, but this was the first it felt so heartwarming. "Hehehe, let's go now. Aunty must be worried." Her grip tightened around his hand.
Kael started walking after hearing her heartfelt reply. The way she giggled and how she thought about him—there was no way he couldn't help but feel good inside.
He led the way, without even being aware of how to get out of there. After exiting the room, there were two ways to go inside the hallway, and there were no signs. He felt a bit embarrassed about how confident he was leading the way.
But he felt a pull on his arm and glanced over to her, who was giving him directions without any word. He followed her lead.
They had to take so many turns to reach the parking of the club. If he didn't know any better, he would assume it was designed to trap him.
Even if he had gotten out of the room, he would have been lost in minutes.
His eyes glanced down to the gorgeous green-haired beauty on his arm.
'The only things men had going for them in this society were their height and their tough-looking exterior—thin as paper walls in front of women.'
She was leading him to her car while letting him feel her boobs on his arm, which he enjoyed, even when it was unusual for men.
'I don't care. I just love it.'
He thought of certain things he had learned in history. There wasn't much about this in textbooks as this was considered taboo content, especially for men.
'There was a time in history so far back, nearly more than 500 years ago. Even the possibility of imagining it now seemed wrong.'
'Men used to be stronger than women. There was no such thing as mana, talent, hunters, dungeons, and gates.'
It was hard to imagine a society like that existed, especially when even unawakened women were twice or even thrice as strong as men their age in terms of physical strength.
'It said that when mana along with rifts opened inside the world, women around the world started to awaken talent, causing chaos around the world as power dynamics at that time were mostly in the hands of men.'
'It caused riots across all the different nations in the world.'
'History said there were many nations, independent countries. Even that sounded like a different world. I couldn't imagine how that world would work—about 200 countries. Surely there must have been many wars between independent powers.'
He was curious and nothing more, as it did sound real if he considered things like mana would not be present in the world. By how their bodies developed, he could see men being the superior ones before.
'Genetic changes in women could be blamed for their higher physical strength despite their usual shorter frame.'
'Other than the fact men were looked down upon and were the target of sexual assaults, there wasn't much oppression from women, as men were essential when it came to giving birth.'
Still, he would rarely see a real married couple as most women just got the sperm required from sperm banks and created babies in tubes, as most of them considered themselves superior.
'How couldn't they be! If he was as strong as them, he would feel something too—perhaps a bit of superiority deep down.'
He felt a hot breath on his ears, sending shivers down his spine and making him come out of his thoughts.
He was about to warn her that she shouldn't do this. However, his eyes fell on the absolute beauty in front of him.
His eyes shook a little in shock, his mouth hung open a little, and his voice cracked in between.
"B-Bugatti La V-Voiture Noire."
A black sleek low design—a work of art. Everything seemed perfect.
"I-Is this y-yours, Sera?"
He knew it must be as they were standing right next to it. However, he couldn't help but say it out loud as this thing cost tons—millions of federation coins.
'Probably 10 times more than our house.'
His house wasn't small. It was quite big, not to the rich mansion level, but he did think they were quite well off.
"Hmm, yeah, the black one in front of us is my car, but what's the long name you just pronounced? Sugatti something?"
Kael felt thrilled knowing that he would be able to sit in this legendary car, but how she disrespected the absolute beauty by pronouncing its name wrong made him upset. From the way she answered, it didn't seem like she knew how cool her car was.
His big sister also had a Mercedes Benz, and Kaitlyn had a Lambo, but it was nothing compared to Sera's car.
He couldn't remember how many times he thought of asking them to let him take their car out on a drive, but Kaitlyn denied him the only time he asked, and he didn't even ask big sis Aurora, feeling it would be no different from Kaitlyn's reaction.
But for the beauty in front of him, he didn't even think of driving it. He feared that if he put a scratch on it—it would be blasphemous and too costly. He didn't think he could afford it.
"Sera, let's go now, and it's Bugatti, not Sugatti. You should remember it—it's the name of the gorgeous car you have." His eyes shone brightly as he stared at the car while asking her, with a bit of annoyance present in his voice.
