Jake stared at the elf for several seconds as his brain tried to process what she had just said.

“Mistress like the others.”

When the hell had he gotten any mistresses!? Why would she even think he had any to begin with?

Few questions truly stumped him, but this one just didn’t make any sense, as it was rooted in non-existent reasoning. He hadn’t even adequately processed the question as he just muttered out:

“I have mistresses?”

Now it was Meira’s turn to look confused back at him. She stared at his face for several seconds before finally speaking.

“You know… the others.”

“Who?” Jake asked, more confused than ever and genuinely curious.

“I… the ones you talked about,” Meira tried to clarify, only making Jake more confused. Had Eversmile decided to take Jake’s form to fuck with Meira, who would then fuck with Jake in turn?

Jake tried to calm himself down and get to the bottom of this. “Who are these people you think are my… mistresses.”

Just saying the word felt wrong.

“You know… the witch you have mentioned so many times… Miranda…” Meira said nervously.

“She works for me, and our relationship is strictly professional,” Jake said stoically.

“Then… then miss Scarlett, the-“

“Fangirl at most. Definitely not,” Jake shot it down.

“The other alchemist woman…. Reika, she-“ Meira tried

“Is the descendant of a friend, and she too is also just a friend.”

“Irin…?”

“Nothing there,” Jake said. Not yet, at least…

“Syl-“

“No!” Jake practically yelled. Fuck no.

“I-“ Meira said, a bit scared at Jake’s outburst. “Then… then…”

Meira seemed to realize something then. Jake saw the look of realization in her eyes, making Jake feel a sense of relief.

“I apologize; I failed to realize…” Meira began as her head turned red from embarrassment. Jake nodded, happy that she had-
