My Girlfriends Are Hardcore Yanderes - Chapter 110

Chapter 110: New Experience
As the moment between them settled, he gently pulled away from her body.

Bending down, he carefully lifted her into his arms, holding her close. Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around his neck, resting her head on his bare chest.

He carried her over to the couch, his steps careful as he made sure to keep her comfortable in his embrace. The peace and silence in the room stood in sharp contrast to the wild emotions from earlier.

For a while, they didn’t say anything, just enjoying the moment. Her hand found his, and she squeezed it lightly.

A gentle smile spread across his face as he looked down at her, his eyes brimming with affection.

For the first time, he could honestly say that he loved Index—a word that even Lucy had only managed to stimulate during their last moments together, in a life-and-death situation.

But that didn’t mean his feelings for her had diminished. It just meant that, at this moment, someone else held the top spot in his heart.

“When did you start having feelings for me?” she asked, her voice filled with curiosity.

He raised an eyebrow, recalling their first conversation. “You said you didn’t know about things like liking someone before?”

“I lied,” she admitted, looking down a bit sheepishly. “I know a little. I read some books about it, but… actually feeling that way for someone is totally different. So, when did you start liking me?”

She insisted on knowing, her tone filled with innocence and curiosity.

Asher scratched his head, thinking it through. They already had sex, so it wasn’t like it would change anything.

“I think it’s about a couple of days since I met you,” he admitted. “How about you?”

She tilted her head, thinking for a moment.

“I’m not really sure,” she said softly. “I guess… maybe it just happened without me realizing it.” She smiled shyly, looking away for a second before meeting his gaze again. “But I know now, for sure.”

Asher smiled warmly, feeling his chest tighten with affection. He reached out, gently brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. “I really like you,”

She blushed as her heart swelled with warmth. “Me too,”

They sat in silence, the kind of quiet that was filled with understanding and shared moments.

No words were needed, just the simple peace of being with each other.

It had been almost three years since then.

Asher sat at a large, wooden desk, surrounded by stacks of ancient tomes. The faint scent of ink and paper filled the air, grounding him in this familiar place.

His focus had shifted, not just to his personal connections with Index, but to his studies.

Magic—concepts that had once seemed distant and complicated now felt natural to him. He had devoured thousands of books, scrolls, fragments of knowledge the library had to offer.

His understanding of magic, and the deeper concepts behind it, had reached a level that most would have never expected from someone his age.

“Ignis Vespera,” he uttered, and a purple flame appeared in his hand.

It wasn’t hot to the touch for now, but anyone struck by it would be instantly incinerated. Upon impact, the small flame could reach temperatures of 3,000°C.

Clenching his fist, the flame dissipated.

‘My mastery over Destruction Magic is already at a very high level. I should focus more on Alteration instead.’

Sitting back in his chair, he ran a hand through his hair, the weight of his progress settling over him.

He had come a long way in such a short time, and he couldn’t help but smile at how far he had come.

But as his quill hovered over the parchment, preparing to inscribe the next spell, he suddenly stopped.

His mind drifted to Lucy. The smile faded from his face as a wave of guilt washed over him.

While he had been immersed in his studies, consumed by magic and the pursuit of knowledge, he had lost track of time.

But there was nothing he could do. The compass had not moved since he arrived, its needle frozen in place. He had kept it close, always by his side, determined to be the first to notice if anything changed.

CREAK!

The door opened, breaking his thoughts. He turned, and there stood Index, carrying a tray with a steaming cup of hot chocolate.

Her usual calm expression softened as she stepped into the room, the warmth of the drink contrasting with the cool atmosphere of the library.

The soft glow of the light in the next room reflected off her features, lending warmth to the moment.

“I thought you could use a break,” she said, setting the tray down on the desk. “You’ve been at this for days.”

Asher glanced at the cup, the comforting scent of cocoa filling the air. His mind was still heavy with thoughts of Lucy, but Index’s gesture brought a small sense of relief, a reminder that he was not alone.

That in this dark place, there was someone with whom he could imagine spending his life.

“Thanks,” he replied, his voice a little lower than usual.

“Are you worried that we won’t get out of here?” she asked, noticing his sadness. They had been together for so long that she could practically read his emotions effortlessly.

“I’m not really that worried because I have you, but there are people I left behind in my world—my mother, and…”

He paused, realizing it would be a bad idea to mention his first girlfriend.

“I’ve been thinking a lot about them,” he continued, keeping his gaze on the cup of hot chocolate, unsure of how much to say.

She walked closer and started patting his head gently, her touch comforting.

Unlike her, who had started alone, Asher was surrounded by people who cared for him. He had a mother, a partner, and a life waiting for him. That’s why accepting the current situation felt much harder for him.

She glanced around the room, her eyes landing on the papers scattered across the desk. Talking about it wouldn’t change anything, so she searched for a way to distract him.

Curiously, she picked one up, scanning the complex symbols and notes that filled the page. As she read through it, her eyebrows lifted in surprise.

His knowledge about magic had reached the point where he was now working on creating the Perfect Magic Body.

She couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe. It was clear now just how high his comprehension had become, even more than she had expected.

“This is impressive, Asher,” she said, her voice filled with admiration. “You’ve reached a level that took me decades.”

He looked up at her. “It’s not perfect yet,” he said, but there was a glimmer in his eyes that suggested he knew just how far he’d come.

“Do you want to test it now? I think it’s time,” she suggested, believing that a change of routine would help him.

“Besides, failing will help you learn from your mistakes and make adjustments.”

He paused, contemplating for a moment. Completing his formula first had been his plan, but she was right—testing it would allow him to check for flaws way quicker.

“Alright. Let’s do it.”
