Chapter 3: Is it still okay if siblings share a moment together?

Is It Still Incest If Siblings Reincarnate With No Blood Relation?


Ryzelia took a moment to process the fact that he was awake. Opening his eyes slowly, he could see that his room was lit by the rays of the sunlight peeking in through the windows. Before he could stand to his feet, there was a knock at his door. Without a response, the door opened revealing Alyice standing there with a tray of food.

— Good morning, master. Hope you slept well.

— Thanks. I did. Looks like you made breakfast for me.

— Yes! Here you are, master.

Alyice smiled as he placed the tray down on the night-stand. On the tray was a large plate consisting of eggs, toast and bacon. Alongside it was a fresh cup of creamed milk that was thicker – similar to the milk he had milked from the cows in his other world. Grabbing the tray, he could hear the sizzle of the bacon as well as see the steam evaporating from it, along with the heat radiating off of it. The eggs were firm in their appearance and didn’t sag into a liquid pool, yet they held their shape while still being soft enough to eat. Unlike the bread of his old world, Ryzelia found that the bread in the new world was a bit more bland in its taste. Yet, even with this, when heated over an open flame and a hint of slightly melted butter helped to balance the toast out into something editable.

— What are your plans for today, master?

— I need to head into town and collect some items. Might buy a few quills and some bottles of ink. That way I have one in the atelier and one for the study. Guess I should keep one for my bedroom too.

— Should I grab a blank notebook from the study and bring it here, master?

— I’d be grateful.

With a smile, Alyice bowed and exited the room. Ryzelia continued to eat his breakfast in silence as he went over all the things he needed to get from the town. Quills, ink, blank notebooks, maybe a book or two that I can read, ingredients for this tonic that will stop these sexual urges from happening. Hopefully that’s it, Ryzelia thought as he took a bite of the bacon while it was still hot. Before finishing off his toast, Alyice returned with a two blank notebooks and placed them on the night-stand.

Ryzelia thanked Alyice and continued to eat his breakfast in silence. Once he was finished he handed the tray over to Alyice and stood to his feet. Opening up his closet, he found his usual outfit clean and hung neatly without wrinkles or creases. Putting on his white frilly top and matching skirt, he grabbed his pair of black over-the-knee socks and overcoat. Sitting down on his bed, he slipped his petite feet into the socks and threw on his coat.

Before long, Alyice entered the room once more and noticed that his master had yet to tied up his hair into his usual hairstyle of cute twin-tails. Grabbing the black and pink ribbons from the armoire, he helped to tie off his master’s hair into a pair of asymmetrical twin-tails – with the pink ribbon being tied off on the left side. After brushing and fixing up his master’s hair, Alyice smiled.

— There you are, master.

— Where would I be without you, Alyice?

— Likely dead from not eating and being too lost in your own works, Alyice said with a cheerful expression.

— Yeah, you’re probably right. Anyway, I’ll head out to the town in a few.

— Should I draw you a map of the area to help with finding your way around?

— It should be fine. I mean, it’s a town, it can’t be that big.

Once he was dressed and ready, Ryzelia exited the room and made his way down the hall. Turning the corner, he noticed Elyiena exiting her room, dressed in her usual outfit as if she was preparing to go somewhere.

— You going to train out in the courtyard?

— Actually, I need to head into town to see about one of my swords. It has a bit of rust on it so I need to take it to a blacksmith.

— Well, if you like, we could head into town together. There’s some things I need to buy.

— Guess we should meet in the foyer when we’re ready? Elyiena asked.

— Yeah, it should only take me about ten minutes to be ready.

Elyiena nodded and watched as Ryzelia headed down the hall. Guess I’ll get my sword and head down to the foyer, Elyiena thought as she took a second to yawn and stretch. Heading down to the first floor, she made her way down another hallway and into a room that was used for storage. Inside, were mountains of wooden crates and boxes with even smaller boxes stacked on top of the larger ones. In the back of the room was one chest that looked older than the others. Its wood was a darker tone and worn down in various spots. Dust had formed a thin layer on top of the chest while the hinges looked as if they were ready to fall off at anytime.

The lock on the front of the chest was simple in its design, a single pin in hole stopped a hinge from flying off and unlocking what was inside. Taking a moment to blow off some of the dust, Elyiena pulled the pin from the lock and carefully opened the chest. Sounds of a loud creaking echoed throughout the room from the rusty hinges. Inside the chest was a sword in a black sheathe. Removing the blade from the sheathe, Elyiena looked over the blade she used when she was just a little girl. Although the sword was covered in a fair amount of rust, the hilt still managed to look as if it was in decent condition – albeit a bit scuffed up.

It’s been so long since I held this blade, Elyiena thought as she looked it over carefully. Placing the sword back in its sheath, Elyiena secured it to her hip, allowing it to rest on the right side. Exiting the storage room, she made her way to the foyer to see Alyice and Blythe both busy dealing with their morning tasks around the manor. Blythe was busy cleaning the windows near the front doorway that were slender then many of the others within the manor. Meanwhile, Alyice was busy dusting off the paintings and vases that were scattered throughout.

Making her way over to the front door, she grabbed her boots that were off to the side of the door. They were a simple pair of black over-the-knee leather boots but they had served her well for a few years. Yet, she knew at some point she would have to buy a new pair that her feet could grow into. While the current pair didn’t hurt her feet, they soon would within the coming year or two. Once she had her boots on, she noticed Ryzelia entering the foyer.

— Alyice, Blythe, do you two need anything from the town while Elyiena and I are out?

Blythe thought about the question for a moment.

— If you don’t mind, a few sweets would be nice, master.

Alyice thought for a moment as he slipped off one of shoes and adjusted the his stockings.

— I can’t think of anything, master, Alyice said while massaging his foot.

— All right then, the two of us will be off.

Without another word, Ryzelia and Elyiena left the manor and made their way to the front gate of the manor. The dark wrought iron fence stood tall, forming a parameter around the manor. At the base standing half a metre tall was paved grey stone, three different coloured stones were layered on top of each other. The base layer was the darkest with the two others being lighter in tone. In total, the fence stood over two metres tall and kept wild animals out, yet, keeping monsters out was another matter.

Ryzelia made his way up to the gate and pulled out a small golden key. The lock was a simple padlock that held the gate closed. Unlocking and swinging open the gate, Ryzelia smiled as he gestured for Elyiena to go ahead.

— After you, my lovely wife, Ryzelia said in a joking tone.

— Eww. Don’t do that again, Elyiena said with a playful giggle.

Ryzelia and Elyiena both made their way down the main cobblestone road. After travelling a few metres from the manor, Ryzelia noticed the stones were of different colour and seemed to be laid without much care.

— It is a bit unfair isn’t it? The two of us are forced to get married in a few years time.

— Believe me, if I wasn’t forced to, I wouldn’t be. Not that I don’t think you’re a nice person but I just have feelings for one person.

— Oh yeah? Who is it? Ryzelia asked with a smirk.

— I’ll be sure to introduce him to you when I find him, Elyiena said in a sarcastic tone.

— Looking forward to it then. Guess we’ll just be married in name and see other people when the time comes.

— Doesn’t matter to me.

The two of them continued down the path that snaked over various rolling hills and continued on for two kilometres until both of them had reached a small bridge crossing that lead into the town known as Lyiedinburg which traded in various types of fruits and wares. Walking across the bridge and into the town, the structures were made of spruce wood with a small part of the foundation base being layered with slate coloured bricks. The thatched roofs were made of different types of straw which were different than in the cities where wood, clay and stone roofing was more common.

Ryzelia and Elyiena passed a tall tower that stood about twelve metres in height. Atop the tower stood two town guards dressed in leather armour and armed with weapons that were visible on their backs. The two guards stared down at Ryzelia and Elyiena as they entered into the town. Many of the townspeople could be seen walking about to-and-fro the various wooden stalls that had been set up along the sides of the main street. Walking a bit further down the road, was a building with a wooden sign out front that had the icon of an engraved pouch that represented all general stores in the world. Ryzelia rummaged through his coat pocket until he pulled out a small piece of parchment that had a list of items he needed for his alchemy and other such materials.

— So, where should we go first? Elyiena asked as she inched closer to Ryzelia in order to get a better look at the list.

— Probably best to head to the general store just there.

Inside, the shop was filled with many different items from foods, spices, clothing and second-rate weapons. While the general store didn’t carry the best or specialised items, it did offer decent-quality items for those who didn’t have much in the way of coin. The front of the shop was small in size compared to the outside of the building. A large window accented the wall on the east side and displayed a few armour and weapon racks. In the centre of the room were two wooden tables that held items from apples to salt and a few worn out books. A few tomes sat on a bookshelf against the north wall along with a table containing herbs and plants as well as vials of medicines and tonics. Along the west side wall were hanging shelves that held books on magic and alchemy.

Standing behind on a wooden counter near the south-west sidewall was a young girl with rose gold coloured hair that blended with a turquoise highlight flowing off to the left side. Her aquamarine coloured eyes sparkled like a crystal clear ocean and complemented her hair colour. She was dressed in a white long sleeve crop top that fell slightly off her shoulders along with a frilly layered short pink & white skirt that had various ribbons on the sides.

Perusing the shop for the few things he needed from the store, Ryzelia noticed a leather bag that resembled what he had known in his other world as a messenger bag – albeit made of different material. Hmm, that could actually be extremely useful to have. It would allow me to free up some space, carry more stuff during journeys and overall, would be a sound investment, Ryzelia thought as he looked over the bag. After picking up the bag and looking it over several times, he finally decided to get it – along with bundle of quills and ink bottles that were on-sale. Placing the items on the counter, the girl greeted him with a smile.

— Hope ya’ll found everything okay, the girl spoke with an accent that was heard as clear as day.

— I did, thank you.

— It’s lookin’ like your total goin’ come out to six gold coins.

Pulling out six coins from his pocket, Ryzelia placed them on the counter and stuffed the rest of his items in the alchemist bag.

— Ya’ll come back now, ya’ hear!

After exiting the shop, Ryzelia looked over his list. Using a spare piece of broken charcoal he had in one of his pockets, he crossed out all the items he had bought.

— Okay, so I still need a few more things but we can go see about your sword.

— Sounds good.

Walking down the main road, the two of them came to building that was slightly different then the others. It was built with paved bricks that were a dull grey colour. Black smoke bellowed from the raised opening at the top while the sound of a hammer hitting against metal could be heard from just outside the building. Entering into the building, Ryzelia noticed the shop had better quality weapons and armour on the various racks. The sound of the hammer had finally stopped and before long a door behind a counter opened. Standing in the doorway was a young petite elven girl who was unique by how she looked.

— Good day two the both of you. What can I do for you?

Both Ryzelia and Elyiena were silent for a moment as they stared at the elf girl.

— I apologise if my appearance strikes you as odd.

— Uh, no! Sorry for staring. I’ve just never…

Ryzelia was at a lost for words as to what to say.

— So, how do you forge a blade without arms? Elyiena asked bluntly.

The elven girl smiled and stood on top of a small wooden stool to sit atop the counter. Situating herself to face Ryzelia and Elyiena, the elf girl stretched out her bare legs and feet. She was dressed in a white frilly crop top with cyan coloured accenting and a matching short skirt that fit her thin waist perfectly. Around her left ankle was a golden anklet with a small chain running down and wrapping around her second toe.

— That’s quite simple, I just use my feet, the elf said as she wiggled her toes.

Ryzelia couldn’t help but stare at the elven girl’s petite bare feet and the alluring turquoise blue toe polish that enchanted him like a moth to a flame.

— Right then, I’ll leave you to it, Elyiena. I’m going to go get the few other items I need, Ryzelia said as he turned away from the Elyiena and the elf girl.

Leaving the building with haste, Ryzelia quickly leaned against a nearby wall and took a second to breath. I probably shouldn’t come back here. Definitely need to make that potion now, Ryzelia thought as he pulled the piece of parchment from his coat pocket. Looking over the list, he knew he needed to find a store that sold alchemical ingredients so that he could make the potion that would help to stop the flare of urges that happened.

Walking down the road, he noticed a small building with an alchemical rune on the sign that hung over the door. Entering the shop, he was greeted with a dim-lit room that had bookshelves lined against the walls. Each shelf contained a plethora of books and scrolls with tables that held many different vials – as well as ingredients. Looking around the room, Ryzelia noticed a small girl placing a book on one of the shelves. The girl had long ashen hair that was unique with the left side tied off in a braid that fell just below her breast and on her right tied into a short fluffy ponytail which was coloured an ardent crimson colour. Her eyes were a hazel golden like the colour that engulfed the sky when the sun was just setting below the horizon. She was dressed in a black lace corset with a matching ruffled skirt that barely covered her thighs. Her legs were blanketed by black stockings with frilly laces at the ends that drew up just past her knees while her black laced boots stopped just below her knees.

While Ryzelia had read about demons from many of his books and heard stories from his older sister, it was the first time he had seen one. The girl’s black goat horns protruded from her the top of her head and the amount of piercings she had outnumbered Ryzelia by a lot – one on the bottom left of her lip, one on the right side of her nose, six on her left ear and another three on her right ear. A pair of black fishnet arm-warmers drew up just below her elbow and had frilly lace around the wrist area. Around her neck was a black spike choker that had a silver chain hanging off of it.

The girl smiled as she turned to meet Ryzelia’s gaze. For a moment, he failed to form words as he stared at the alluring succubus before him. Ryzelia took a second to collect himself and properly addressed the girl. Before he could open his mouth, the girl spoke in a child-like tone.

— How can I serve you, sweetie?

— Are you the owner of this shop?

— That depends, what are you hoping to get from this little shop?

— I just need some Blue Alzyen and Ingraz for a medicine.

The demon smiled playful as she revealed her fangs and made her way closer to Ryzelia.

— Oh dear, someone is either going to make a poison to kill a noble or something to help with urges that happen a bit to often.

Ryzelia’s heart began to pound like an alchemist grounding up some herbs. He was well-versed in alchemy but he could tell the demon girl was on another level. If she can tell what can be made from just the ingredients alone and without reference notes, this girl is far better than me, Ryzelia thought as he watched the demon’s right eye suddenly roll into the back of her head. He could see that her eye was now a dark crimson colour.

— You can know what can be made just from the ingredients? Ryzelia asked.

— Sweetie, I know many things and can do many things, the girl said as she turned for the counter.

The girl climbed up onto the wooden surface and crossed on leg over the other, allowing them to dangle slightly. She leaned back in a subductive manner that made her appear like a playful and dominant demon.

— My name is Ryozaria and I was known far and wide as the Alchemist of the Ashen Twilight.

Ryzelia recalled a demon girl that his older sister once told him about. She often regaled him with stories of the alchemist Ryozaria who travelled the world and even the barren Dead Lands below the cities in the sky. How she ended up becoming the owner of a small shop in the town of Lyiedinburg was a question that would never see the light of an answer.

— You’re the one that wrote the books on where to find rare plants and materials.

— Indeed, I am. Now, you have yet to answer my question. Are you planning to make a poison or a potion? Ryozaria asked with playful smile.

Ryzelia averted his gaze for a moment.

— P-Potion…

Ryozaria smiled.

— Is that so? Mind coming closer?

Making his way across the room, Ryzelia continued to shift his gaze from Ryozaria’s alluring eyes and enticing body. Why am I still here? This girl is too smart and probably already has me figured out. At this point, I think she’s just teasing me. Still, the general store didn’t have what I needed and this girl clearly knows what she is talking about. Guess I’ll just put up with it and see how this plays out, Ryzelia thought as he turned as eyes back on the petite demon in front of him.

— So, what is it that gets your cauldron blowing?

— You’re not going to sell me the items I need, are you?

— I’ll happily give you the items for free. I just want to know what it is that makes you want to craft a potion to stop it, Ryozaria said as she adjusted her top slightly to reveal a hint of her breast.

Ryzelia continued to look into the eyes of the enchanting succubus before him. I just need to look her in the eyes and not think about her in that way, he thought.

— I’m not going to tell you that.

— Not even if I show you what’s under my skirt? Ryozaria asked in a playful tone as she slowly pulled up her skirt to reveal her thighs.

— As many times as my older sister done that, it doesn’t effect me.

— So, I need to go lower, Ryozaria said with a seductive smile.

With slow but enticing movements, Ryozaria carefully began to unlace one of her boots. Sliding it off in a teasing manner, Ryzelia could not help but steal a glance of the beauty that was about to reveal her petite feet before his eyes. The sound of her boot dropping to the floor echoed throughout the room and into his ears. His mind raced with many thoughts until he heard the other boot drop to the floor.

— Looks like I found the grand prize.

— Do you treat all your customers like this?

— When you live as long as I have, it’s always nice to service the customer with only the best care.

Reaching over to grab a vial of green liquid, Ryozaria smiled and handed it to Ryzelia.

— Drink it.

— What is it?

— Do you want to walk around town with your sword on display for all to see?

Ryzelia sighed and down the liquid in the vial. In that moment, he could feel the throbbing between his thighs subside.

— Wow, that actually worked faster than I thought.

— That’s the power of alchemy. Anyway, here’s your Blue Alzyen and Ingraz. I shouldn’t have to tell you that you will want to remove the blue seeds from the Alzyen. Don’t want to end up poisoning yourself, Ryozaria giggled.

— Thank you. I’ll be back here if I need anything.

— You should definitely come back when the sun sets, Ryzozaria said with a wink.

Ryzelia was unsure by what Ryozaria meant but paid it no mind and exited the shop with haste. Taking in the rest of the slights of the town, he noticed that Elyiena was busy looking at a stall that sold various types of flowers.

— I guess you got your sword fixed, Ryzelia said as he stood beside Elyiena.

— It’ll be three days but I’ll just get Blythe to pick it up.

Elyiena continued to stare at the flowers that were placed in the pots. Her eyes were drawn to the white rose that stood out among all the red and blue roses.

— You want a flower? Ryzelia asked.

— N-No… I don’t need them. They serve no use in combat.

— But you want one.

— S-Shut up… I don’t not want one, okay?

Ryzelia handed over two gold coins to the old woman working the stall and picked one of the white roses from the seven that were planted – leaving six still in the pot. Placing the rose in the right side of her hair, he smiled.

— There. Now you look like the Maiden of War.

Elyiena was at a lost for words. Her cheeks flushed a soft shade of red as she looked away from Ryzelia’s eyes.

— It’s not like I asked you to do that.

— I know. Now, if you’re ready, let’s go home.

#

Ryzelia looked over his notes while Alyice served him a cup of coffee. I should head down to the nearby river and gather some plants from there, he thought as he leafed through one of his alchemy books. Reading over the page he was on, the text contained information on a plant that could be found underwater known as Waterrot which, despite its name, helped with altitude sickness on airships – contrast to that of Skyrot which helped with sea sickness.

— Master, do you plan to go anywhere today?

— Actually, I decided I was going to head to the river that’s nearby here. There is a plant I want to gather, Ryzelia said as he wrote down the main notes of what he would need.

As he stood to his feet, Ryzelia heard a knock at the door. Standing in the doorway was Elyiena.

— I’m sending Blythe to get my sword from the town. You need anything?

— No but would you care to join me in a little trip?

— Trip? Where to?

— The river.

Ryzelia made his way past Alyice and headed for the door.

— Sure.

— Great, let’s go then. Oh, right. Alyice?

— Yes, master?

— See if you can find my socks while we’re out. I had to wear these white stockings which feel odd.

Alyice played with the tips of his hair.

— O-Of course, master. I’m sure they just got mixed up with the other clothes. I’ll be sure to check.

Without another word, Ryzelia left the room while Elyiena followed beside him. The two of them headed off to the river which was calming a tranquil deep within the forest to the south. The meadow was a prime spot for relaxing with a small rock formation that allowed for one to sit with their feet in the water. Removing his boots, stockings and coat, Ryzelia entered the river only to find it was slightly deeper than he had thought. The water stopped just at his ankles but was still shallow enough to pick the plant he needed. Hard to believe this water is crystal clear. Oh well, it makes gathering these plants easier, Ryzelia thought as he carefully looked for the Waterrot plant.

— While you do that, I’m going to relax, Elyiena said as she removed her boots and socks.

Sitting on the rock, Elyiena dipped her bare feet in the water. Ryzelia quickly stole a glance before turning his back to her. And… suddenly it just got harder. That’s okay, I have that potion I created, Ryzelia thought as he stuck his hand where his coat pocket should have been. For a moment, he was confused until he remembered that he had removed his jacket in order to pick the plant he needed.

— Hey, Ryze. Can you take a look at something?

— Sure… What’s up?

Ryzelia carefully made his way over to where Elyiena was perched.

— Can you look at this thing on my foot and tell me what it is? Elyiena asked as she held out her barefoot.

Damn it… picking this plant is even harder, Ryzelia thought as he tried to shift his skirt in a way that didn’t make dagger in his pants visible. On the sole of Elyiena’s foot, Ryzelia could see a small black bump. He knew exactly what it was but knew that he needed to keep Elyiena from seeing the large massive bump he was trying to hide.

— Uh, can you lay back for me? I think I know what it is but you have to relax.

— Sure, just don’t start sucking on my toes or anything. That’s weird.

— I wouldn’t dream of it.

Elyiena laid back on the rock while Ryzelia breathed a sigh of relief knowing that she would be unable to see what he was packing under his skirt. This day can’t possibly get any worse, Ryzelia thought as he pretended to examine the bump.

— Okay, just stay right there. I know what this is and I can easily treat it. Let me just get the medicine from my jacket.

Making his way with haste, Ryzelia rummaged through his pockets only to find that the medicine he made to stop his erotic states of arousal was no where to be found. And… this day just got worse. Lovely, Ryzelia thought as he pulled out a vial that contained a white liquid in it. Making his way back over to Elyiena, Ryzelia carefully dabbed a bit of the liquid onto his index finger. With a light touch, he carefully rubbed it around the black bump on Elyiena’s foot only to be met with a pleasurable but painful experience.

— That tickles!

The sound of a cute and almost child-like giggle rang through Ryzelia’s ears followed quickly by a swift kick to his face. In that moment, he found himself knocked down into the water, his clothes soaking wet. Can this day get any worse? Ryzelia thought as looked over how drenched his clothes were.

— And now I’m all wet thanks to you.

At least this water is cold. It’s helping to take care of the volcano that was about to erupt down south, Ryzelia thought as he took a moment to readjust himself.

— Well, you should have been gentle, that tickled, Elyiena said as she crossed her arms and pouted like a child.

— Noted. Now, come down and actually help me find this plant since you got me wet.

— Fine, fine.

Stepping into the water, Elyiena made her way over to Ryzelia and held out her hand to help him to his feet.

— So, what do these plants look like?

— Oh, they look like this…

Without warning, Ryzelia quickly splashed Elyiena with water, aiming to get her soaked alongside him. He could not help but laugh as Elyiena stood their dumbfounded.

— Haha! Take that, Ely.

— You piece of shit!

Ryzelia didn’t have time to react from the beast he had unleashed upon the world. Jumping a top him and pinning his arms down with her knees, Elyiena grabbed Ryzelia by the hair and proceeded to dunk his head under the water. As his head bobbed above the waterline, Ryzelia could see that Elyiena was smiling – even if she appeared angry, she wasn’t.

— Say you’re sorry.

Elyiena dunked his head under the water before letting him breath again.

— I’m sorry.

— You’re sorry for what?

Another dip into the water.

— I’m sorry for getting you wet.

Elyiena got off of him and rung out the water that had built up in her hair and clothes.

— Just for that, you can spar with me tomorrow in nothing but your underwear, without any weapon.

— Sounds more like I’d just be your target dummy.

— Because that’s what you are!

Ryzelia smiled and exited the water. After ringing out his skirt of the excess water, he grabbed his clothes. Guess I’ll just walk to the manor without shoes or socks. It should be fine, Ryzelia thought as he looked to Elyiena.

— Let’s go home.
