I Won’t Let Them Make Fun Of You

Upon entering the hotel, Alex guided Abbie towards the elevator. He confidently pressed the button that was numbered twenty-six and smiled at the girl beside her. Abbie was still in a daze and she couldn't stop herself from staring at the handsome man in front of her.

Although he looked familiar. There was a sense of disparity between her Little Hero and the one by her side. The young Alex was innocent and adorable, while this man was overflowing with pheromones. She had no doubt in her mind that any single girl within twenty meters of him would happily jump into his arms.

"A-Are you really Alex?" Abbie stuttered as she asked her question. The man in front of her looked so dreamy that she couldn't believe that it was the young boy whom she had summoned to the real world. Alex looked at her with a smile that screamed "you're not getting any sleep tonight".

He didn't answer Abbie's question which made Abbie a bit restless. When the elevator reached the twenty-sixth floor, Alex firmly gripped Abbie's hand and gave it a light tug.

"I'll answer your questions later, Master," Alex said. "This is not the place to talk about this."

Abbie could only nod in agreement and allowed Alex to take her inside one of the rooms on the twenty-sixth floor. The room was very spacious and bright. The windows were open and the gentle breeze coming from the beach softly caressed the side of Abbie's face.

The room was very clean and she couldn't find any fault in it. However, there was something that caught her attention. It was the bed. It was at least twice as big as her full-sized bed back at the girl's dormitory.

Alex followed her gaze and a mischievous grin appeared on his face. The young man who was at least one-hundred-eighty-eight centimeters lowered his head to whisper something to Abbi. The chubby girl was a foot shorter than him and her body shivered as the deep and smooth voice passed through her ears.

"What are you thinking, Master?"

"N-Nothing!"

Alex's words made Abbie's face become red as a tomato. At first she thought that she was dreaming, but rejected the idea. She already pinched herself twice when they entered the elevator. The pain she felt gave solid proof that she was wide awake and not dreaming.

"Please, take a seat, Master. I'm sure you have a lot of questions. For now, please, make yourself comfortable."

"Thank you."

Abbie sat on the couch. The softness of the couch made her sigh in comfort. She decided to lean against it as she gazed at the young man who seemed to be the "adult" version of her Little Alex.

"You can answer my question now, right?" Abbie tried her best to resist the charms of the man in front of her. "Are you really Alex?"

Alex leaned back on his seat. He raised his right leg and rested it over his left and looked at Abbie with a gentle gaze. After a while he finally opened his lips to answer Abbie's question.

"Yes and No."

There was a slight pause before Alex continued his explanation. "Yes, I am Alex. Your Alex, Master."

"But?" Abbie knew that Alex was not finished with his explanation, but she wanted answers, and she wanted it now.

"But, I'm different from the Alex that you know." Alex added. "Right now, the young me is asleep."

"Asleep?"

"Yes." Alex nodded his head. "Right now, the original me is asleep."

"Then who are you?" Abbie asked. "What happened to MY Alex?"

Alex's lips curled up into a grin. Even though he looked calm and mature on the surface, deep inside he was feeling anxious. What he said was the truth, the little HIM was asleep. Simply put, he was the version of Alex that would come eleven years from now.

When he noticed how worried Abbie was when it came to his younger self, he felt something warm and soothing spread inside his heart. It felt so good that he wanted to shower the girl in front of him with affection, but he held himself back.

'I am truly blessed to have you as my Master,' Alex thought as his gentle gaze landed on Abbie.

He knew that now was not the right time to make his move. Alice had carefully crafted a plan and he would follow it to the dot. Right now, he knew that his Master was confused and looking for answers. He would do his best to answer them, but he wouldn't mention anything about the plan inside his head.

"Calm down, Abbie," Alex said with a smile.

"Um? What did you call me?"

"Abbie."

The way Alex said her name made Abbie's heart flutter. There was a sweetness and longing in his voice that made her feel that she was...loved. It was a wonderful, yet scary feeling which made her feel anxious.

This was the first time she felt this way. She was unable to look at the man in front of her so she averted her gaze and resumed her questioning.

"Um, can you just tell me how you suddenly grew up?"

"I can. It was because of a potion, Abbie. A growth potion that you can buy in the GGS App."

"Um?" Abbie opened her phone and scrolled the Potion Shop. There was indeed a growth potion located in there and it cost two thousand points. Right now, Abbie only had three hundred points remaining.

When she became a candidate, she was given a credit of one thousand points. She used these credits to buy clothes and healing potions for Alex. She focused her attention on the description of the growth potion that was displayed on her mobile screen.

Growth Potion

A potion that will add ten years to the user's current age and transform his body accordingly. The effect lasts for sixteen hours.

Disclaimer: Anyone who consumes this potion (including monsters, familiars, beasts, etc.) will not have any recollection of what its "grown up" self did during the duration of its effects. They will also feel lethargic after the duration of the potion wears off.

Abbie noticed that there were many types of growth potion. The one that Alex used was only the lowest grade growth potion. There were medium grade ones which added twenty years, high grade ones that added thirty, and unique growth potions that added thirty years and above. Their prices triples with every jump in grade.

"Um, where did you get the points to buy these potions?" Abbie asked.

"Big Sister Alice bought them for me," Alex answered. "Sorry we didn't say anything beforehand. Are you angry?"

"No," Abbie admitted as she raised her head to look at Alex. "Not angry. Just surprised."

Alex breathed a sigh of relief. His anxiousness evaporated when he confirmed that Abbie meant what she said. Since that was the case, he could move freely and execute the plan to his heart's content.

'Don't worry, Abbie,' Alex thought. 'I won't let them make fun of you.'

Alex vowed that he would squash the rumor that was making his Master depressed. He would make sure that after this trip was over everyone would know that Abbie belonged to him.
