Locke was back at his house, sitting on the sofa, analyzing the absurd amount of gold in his inventory.
'I don't understand why you didn't want to take everything! Usually dragons love treasures!' Tia commented in his mind.
"I just don't understand why, why dragons do with so much gold? Do they buy things?" Locke asked.
'Of course not! Dragons simply take everything they want! They collect gold because they like it!'
"They accumulate gold just for the pleasure of accumulating ... that looks stupid ..." Locke sighed. "If I use that absurd amount of gold that I got, I would probably sink with the entire economy of the country, not to mention that the feds would probably show up right on my doorstep!"
'They usually lie on top of the gold,,, You are a strange dragon... Arguing to take less gold ...'
Locke sighed and went to bed, sleeping early for the second night in a row, he woke up just before sunrise.
Locke swam for a while and then began to meditate, even with the great increase in his powers Locke did not neglect his training, he meditated for an hour and then entered the training in the system, training new fighting techniques.
When he started approaching midday Locke stopped his training, he had mastered a new technique, Claws that tear the sky, a martial art specialized for his transformed form.
Locke started to prepare for Hanna's visit, the girl would come today with her parents and sister to have lunch and visit his new home, he watered the little alraune at the window and moved it to a point where she could take a little more in the sun, as usual the plant let out a childish laugh of appreciation.
Locke then began to cut vegetables at a superhuman speed, he began to prepare a series of elaborate dishes and even a dessert.
As he approached one o'clock in the afternoon the Moongraves arrived.
"Wow, is this Locke's new home? It's beautiful!" Aliyah commented. "It's a bit big for him to live here alone, are you guys planning anything?" she smiled provocatively at Hanna.
"I had no idea that the house was so big!" Hanna commented. "I would love to live in a place like this!"
"Don't put the cart before the horse, baby!" Azalea joked. "Although you really need more fresh air! And look at all this nature! And the lake! Look at that beautiful lake! ""
"It is a little far from the city!" Joseph was the only one to make a derogatory comment.
"But it's not that far from our home!" Azalea replied with a smile.
Locke answered them at the door with a smile, he took them inside and settled them around the table, serving lunch.
Locke served something relatively elaborated, Roast Pork with Crisp Crackling along with a good vintage wine to go with it, for dessert he served a Dutch pie.
"So, Locke, how did you get this house?" Joseph asked. "It is quite different from your old place!"
"Dad!" Hanna complained.
"It's okay Hanna, I bought it recently mr. Moongraves, I had some investments, investments that I have had for a long time, they gave me a sudden big return, and this house was much cheaper than you imagine, the company that owned the house really wanted to sell it as soon as possible." Locke replied with a smile. "Who wants more dessert?"
'This is unfair! I still need some time to regain my physical shape! I wanna eat too!'Tia complained to Locke.
'Don't worry,' Locke replied mentally 'I saved enough for you!'
'Well, thank you! That's why i love you! You know the better!'
***
After lunch the Moongraves family said goodbye to Locke, except for Hanna who stayed for the night, Joseph grudgingly accepted, with Azalea practically dragging him away.
"So, what's the deal with the house?" Hanna asked curiously.
"Ah, you know, disappearances, curses, monsters and things like that, it was a trap for new families, but I fix it" Locke replied with a smile. "Do you want to see the master bedroom?"
"Dude, you really don't waste any time!" Hanna joked, laughing. "Let's go then!"
Locke smiled and took her in his arms, lifting her like a princess, he ran up the stairs like a blur, Hanna shouted excitedly.
"Easy boy!"
But Locke was not at all calm.
Two hours later Locke got out of bed feeling refreshed, Hanna was beside him completely sweaty, she was breathing heavily with pleasure.
"That... was ... very good..." Hanna spoke with a satisfied smile on her face.
Locke was also happy, it had been a little over a week since last time, and he ended up exaggerating a little.
'Dude, if you continue like this she will break!' Tia warned in her mind. 'Anyway, the time has come! I can finally get back into shape now! '
"Don't do it here! Lets go to the living room!" Locke covered Hanna and went down the stairs, stopping in the living room. "There, go ahead!"
A light formed in Locke's chest and separated from his body, the magic particles began to gather in the air forming a female figure, she shone with a much greater intensity than the first time, at last Tia was there, floating in the air with her wings spread.
"I'm Back, b*tches! It's the return of the queen!" She screamed with joy.
Tia's appearance was almost the same, but her body was many times bigger than before. If before she was the height of a children's doll, now she was about three feet tall, her body was still proportional and beautiful, she looked like a small miniature of a woman.
Her wings were also bigger, and her white hair was up to her knees, tied in a beautiful braid.
"Look at me! Look how much I've grown! Imagine how many cool things I can do now!" the fairy celebrated her changes. "Now I can use the computer! Can I play video games! Imagine how much I can eat now!" The fairy laughed.
"Errrrr, how about you put some clothes?" Locke commented, slightly embarrassed.
"Ah! What's the matter, big boy?" The fairy realized that she had forgotten to create a dress, she looked at Locke provocatively and asked, "Do you like what you see?"
'Oh, Sh*t! Here comes the nympho mode!' Locke thought, he tried to find ways to respond.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The fairy burst in laugthers, she created a beautiful black dress around her body, covering herself. "I'm just kidding with you! Where's my food? "
Locke sighed with relief and left for the kitchen. "I'll heat it up for you!"
The fairy was alone in the room, as soon as Locke left she raised both hands in the air forming an imaginary measure, she separated the two imagining the size of 'something' and then put one hand on the belly and the other on the end of the pelvis.
"It's still too big... but..." The fairy gave a mischievous smile.
***
After Locke heated the food, Tia ate like someone who fasted for a year, luckily Locke had cooked more than enough to supply the fairy's monstruous appetite, she fell into a deep sleep after all the eating.
Locke picked her up and carried her over to his bed, laying her down next to Hanna, who was also asleep.
Locke returned to the living room and started to meditate, he had decided that he would focus on increasing his mana and his spirit first, then the other status, he meditated for an hour when he heard footsteps on the stairs.
He opened his eyes to see Hanna coming down the stairs, dressed in one of his shirts, leaving her bare legs out.
Locke's heart jumped and his blood started to heat up, but he forced himself to calm down, Tia was right, Hanna was still a human and he needed to be careful to not hurt her with his massive lust.
"What happened to Tia, she is so big!" Hanna asked in surprise.
"She kind of didn't explain anything to me... She just rebuilt herself that bigall of a sudden! I kind of accepted it and moved on, just like I did with everything else, but..." Locke fell silent.
"What's it?" Hanna asked curiously.
"For a moment... I thought she was going to attack me..." Locke replied worriedly.
"..." Hanna had no answer, she looked at Locke with a strange expression.
"Anyway, I'm going to prepare some coffe" Locke went to the kitchen.
As soon as he left Hanna raised both hands in the air forming an imaginary measure, she separated her hands and a certain distance comparing two imaginary sizes.
"She'll totally die if she tries... It's too big for her" Hanna commented worriedly.
Locke made some coffee in the kitchen, Hanna came in shortly after he finished.
"How do you prefer your coffee? Milk? Sugar? Cream?" Locke asked with a smile.
"Cream and sugar for me," Hanna replied.
"Right away!Do you want to eat something?" Locke asked with another smile.
"No, I'm still full of lunch..."
"Are you sure? I'm baking cookies!" Locke took a tray full of freshly baked cookies out of the oven. "Chocolate chips! My grandmother's recipe! "
"Maybe just one!" Hanna picked up a cookie.
"Did anyone mention chocolate chip cookies?" Tia's voice sounded excited.
The fairy invaded the kitchen flying, super cheerful. "Hey Hanna! Did you see my new shape? Look how big I am now! Imagine how many cool things I can do now! "
"I saw, Tia! You look bigger and more beautiful!" Hanna replied the animated fairy, hugging her.
Locke watched the two girls happily, they drank coffee together and then went to the living room, Tia ate most of the cookies on her own, but she denied the coffee, the fairy had an aversion to bitter things, a typical childish taste preference.
"Hey Locke, what are we going to do now?" Tia asked. "I mean in general, you already managed to evolve and everything after all..."
"I intend to continue gaining levels and skills, I also want to know who's out there turning ghosts into monsters and spreading curses, and I have a vague idea of where to start looking!" Locke replied. "Hanna, do you remember the red-haired girl in your store?"
"Red-haired girl? Are you talking about Wolde? She uses to shop with us periodically, she lives in a mansion with her family somewhere in the city or something... What about her?" Hanna was confused.
"She is a witch!" Tia answered for Locke. "We suspect that she approached you because of your prophetic abilities and your magical potential!"
"A witch? A real witch? Like Bl*ir one or a P*tter one? "
"... I think seh is a P*tter one? I don't really know, we still haven't got access to all the information my dad left, I know he's met witches before and they didn't look to be the bad guys" Locke answered Hanna's question.
"Well, Wolde already invited me to a party at her house once, but as it was close to the exams, so I ended up declining..." Hanna commented. "But I don't think they're bad, since I never had a vision with them!"
"My first encounter with a supernatural being was close to where they live, I'm sure they created that formation, but I also don't think that these other cases have to do with them, but what I lack most is information, I I hardly know any other supernatural being here on Earth... Maybe witches know who is causing all this trouble!" Locke replied.
"I would like to go along!" Hanna stated.
"I don't think it's a good idea," Locke replied, concerned. "I don't know if it's going to be dangerous or not..."
"They had more than enough chances to do anything with me! Perhaps my presence is what is necessary to prevent things from going south between you and them, after all, you will be carrying a harmless human, a proof that you didn't go to them looking for problems."
Locke contemplated things in silence for a while, he didn't like the idea very much, he didn't want to see Hanna in danger.
"It might not be a bad idea! If they are friendly, this is our chance to get someone to teach Hanna magic! " Tia gave her opinion.
Locke looked at both girls who showed him cute expressions of appeal, he sighed.
"Fine! But if they hurt you, I will destroy the world! "
