My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

Chapter 31: Celeste

"Are you the reason my cheeks are hurting so much?" Eren asked, rubbing his cheeks that were still hurting.

The girl nodded happily, as if expecting praise.

"Are you an idiot?" Eren asked, frowning.

The girl looked at him in confusion, as if asking if she did something wrong.

Eren rubbed his forehead. "Did the system truly screw me over?"

"You came out of that egg?" Eren asked the small girl while pointing towards the remnants of the egg.

The girl nodded proudly.

"There's nothing to be proud in that." Eren rolled his eyes. "Anyway, since you look like a human, can you talk as well?"

The girl shook her head.

"Do you have any powerful attacks or defense skills?" Eren asked.

The girl again shook her head.

"Do you have any skills at all?" Eren asked, rubbing his temple.

The winged girl once again.

"So basically, you're useless?" Eren asked, letting out a sigh.

The girl proudly nodded.

"Again, there's nothing to be proud in that." Eren looked at the girl in disbelief.

He didn't know how to deal with this 'reward', that looked more like a burden than anything.

He couldn't keep a living creature in the System Space. So he couldn't hide her.

The girl didn't have a skill that could help her either. Moreover, she was something that hadn't appeared in this world.

If she was seen by anyone, it wasn't clear what kind of reaction people were going to have.

The only thing that was certain was that a lot of troubles were going to fall over his head if she was seen by anyone.

The girl looked at Eren in confusion.

He could kill her and bury her to avoid any future problems. But looking at her, he couldn't get himself to do that.

The girl was still a newborn. Even though she wasn't human, but she didn't deserve to die, just because he couldn't get any benefits from her.

It wasn't her fault that she was sent to him. Instead, it was all the fault of the system.

"Fine." Eren scratched the back of his head. "Since you belong to me, I'll handle things as they come."

"However, you aren't allowed to show yourself before others. That's a rule that you must always follow. Understood?" he asked.

The girl happily nodded before she flew up, landing on Eren's shoulder.

She once again started poking his cheeks like a little child.

"Another rule, you aren't allowed to touch my cheeks." Eren glared at the little girl.

The girl lowered her head, as if she had been wronged.

"Can you get off my shoulders now? I need to take a shower."

Eren didn't touch her, worried that he might accidentally crush her.

The girl was so small and frail that he didn't want to grab her. She was like a precious treasure that people could only look at but not touch.

The girl nodded. She jumped off his shoulders, landing on the bed.

Eren stood up, stretching his neck.

It was already afternoon outside. He had slept the entire morning. He forgot to even go out and check up on his new disciple.

Moreover, it wasn't long before he was going to have that rewarded meeting with an unknown person.

He had only a few hours left to prepare.

He looked forward to the meeting the most. Although he didn't know who he was meeting, but since it was a System Reward, he felt that he wasn't going to die at least.

Maybe, he could even find more answers about the Menor Fragments.

He kept the egg shell in the System Storage, not leaving even the slightest trace of it behind. Only after taking care of his room, he prepared to go for a bath.

"Stay inside the room and don't move until I'm back," Eren reminded the little girl, before he turned around.

Only after taking a few steps, he stopped. He turned around. "That's right, I forgot it. Since you're just born, you don't have a name yet."

"I'm not good at naming, so don't blame me if you don't like this name."

The girl looked at Eren innocently. Her eyes were filled with excitement, as if she was looking forward to it.

'"Since you remind me of Celestial Fairies, I will call you Celeste. Do you hate this name?" Eren asked.

The girl shook her head repeatedly. Instead, she looked like she was very happy with the name.

"I'm glad." Eren turned around and left, not a beautiful smile was gracing his lips.

Although he knew that the little girl wasn't helpful for him, but looking at her happiness, he also felt happy.

Especially since the little girl reminded him of his own little sister... Someone he had lost a long time ago.

....

Eren came out of the bath, dressed in a new attire. His hair was still slightly wet, but he felt quite relaxed after a good bath.

He had intentionally worn a robe that had a pocket where Celeste could sit when he was outside.

If he came across someone, she could also hide in his pocket. This way, she didn't have to spend the rest of her life, sealed in a small room.

"Come Celeste, we are going outside."

Celeste excitedly flew toward Eren, like a little child who was going to be taken out to a candy shop.

After receiving Eren's instructions, she entered Eren's pocket, only her head peeking out of the pocket, looking at the surroundings.

She was like a little kangaroo baby, sitting in its mother's pouch.

"As it's your first day, I will show you the beauty of this world."

Eren pushed the door open, calling for the Phoenix, which soared down.

Winds wrapped around Eren, helping him fly. He soon landed on the back of the Phoenix.

The Phoenix took him to the Place where his disciples were staying.

Along the way, Eren introduced Celeste to the Phoenix.

Soon, he reached the destination. However, as he looked down, he couldn't help but frown.

"She..."
