Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 333 Hook, Line, And Sinker

The men of the Oswald Family all stood on one side of the living room with their hands crossed over their chests.

All of them had frowns on their faces as they looked at the ladies of their house.

Irene, Briana, and Rhea were fawning over Ethan and asking him several questions like…

“How did you meet Luna?”

“Who made the first move?”

“What do the two of you usually do together in the academy?”

There were more similar questions, and Ethan answered all of them truthfully.

Once the three ladies were done asking him questions, he brought out the gifts he prepared, which made the three ladies have a better impression of him.

Aside from the chocolates, Ethan gave them different accessories that he had carefully selected for each of them with Luna’s help.

Ethan gave Luna’s Grandmother a Jade Bracelet, which was said to improve health and blood circulation.

He was told that Rhea wasn’t really a fan of fancy accessories, so he chose something simple and beneficial to her instead.

The young man gave Briana a magical chessboard, in which the chess pieces were made from black and white crystals that could move with a single thought.

Luna told him that Briana liked to play chess, but the chessboard they used back home was already old. Because of this, he didn’t hesitate to buy the most expensive one for the angelic beauty’s second mother.

“What about my gift?” Irene asked with a pout. “How come you gave Grandma and Briana their gift first? Shouldn’t I be the first one to receive a gift?”

Ethan smiled. “Mother, the gift I have for you is a bit special. In order to create it, I need you to do something for me.”

The corner of Irene’s lips curled up into a smile upon hearing Ethan call her mother. It had a nice ring to it, especially coming from a handsome young man like him.

“Okay. What do I need to do in order to get my gift?” Irene asked.

“It’s really simple, Mother,” Ethan replied. “All you need to do is stand beside Luna and Father.”

“Who are you calling Father, you brat?” Bruce asked. “I don’t approve of you as my daughter’s boyfriend!”

“Dear, come here and stand beside me,” Irene commanded.

“… Okay.” Bruce didn’t dare to defy his wife’s order and stood beside her.

Ethan did his best to keep himself from chuckling after seeing the henpecked husband follow his wife’s order.

“Now, the both of you, please hug Luna as if you are going to have a family portrait.”

Irene smiled and hugged her beloved daughter, even kissing her cheeks, which made Luna smile.

Bruce didn’t have a problem doing what Ethan was asking because he, too, wanted to hug his daughter alongside his wife.

The three of them looked like a happy family together, making Ethan smile in his heart.

A moment later, a mirror made of water appeared in front of Ethan.

He was using the skill that Sebastian had taught him a few days ago. This skill functioned similarly to a camera and could record still pictures.

The mirror made of water shimmered for a brief moment before dividing into three parts.

Ethan then took three golden lockets from his storage ring and opened them.

The three water mirrors flew toward the lockets and merged with them.

He then checked the lockets one by one to ensure that everything was perfect.

After being satisfied with the results, he then waved his hand, making the lockets fly toward Irene, Luna, and Bruce.

The three people caught the golden locket and looked at the picture of their family inside it.

“Since Luna spends months away from home, I’m sure that all of you miss her to some extent,” Ethan said. “The same can be said of Luna. She misses all of you as well. With this locket, you will be able to see her anytime you want. But that’s not all.”

Ethan grinned. The lockets he prepared weren’t ordinary. After talking with Sebastian and his Other Half about his plan, the two helped him create the base of the lockets to give it one additional ability.

This was the Trump Card he'd use to win Luna’s parents to his side.

“On the nights of the full moon, you will be able to talk to Luna directly using those golden lockets,” Ethan stated. “This way, you will be able to talk to each other once a month. I hope you like my gift, Mother, Father.”

Irene looked at the golden locket in her hand before holding her daughter tightly.

Although they could send letters in order to keep in touch with each other, talking to her daughter directly was still better.

Even though the golden locket had limitations and could only be used on the nights of the full moon, it still gave them a chance to talk directly to Luna, making Ethan’s gift very precious.

“Thank you, Ethan,” Irene said. “I’ll treasure this.”

Even Bruce didn’t have anything bad to say about Ethan’s gift.

With the golden locket, he would be able to look at his wife and daughter even in times when he had to leave their home to deal with the problems within their barony.

Sometimes, he would have to be away for a few days, for some matters required him to travel to the territory of his neighbors to ask them for assistance.

“That’s unfair!” Briana immediately complained after seeing the golden locket. “I want one too!”

‘Got them!’ Sebastian chuckled after seeing that Ethan’s plan worked.

‘Hook, line, and sinker,’ Ethan’s Other Half commented. “Well played, Ethan. Well played.’

They had already expected that this was going to happen, so they had made a golden locket for each member of their family.

Rhea and Philip stood beside each other and hugged Luna, allowing Ethan to capture their picture together.

After that, it was Briana, Bruce, Dennis, Erik, and Luna’s turn to strike a pose.

When everything was over, each of them held a golden locket in their hands and had smiles on their faces.

Although the men of the Oswald Family still hated Ethan’s guts, they now had a better impression of him because of the golden lockets in their possession.

Rowan, who was still in Brynhildr Academy, also had a golden locket of his own.

The first prototype of Ethan’s experiment was given to him, in which he and Luna stood beside each other.

This was also why Rowan didn’t mind staying in the academy for a few more days before returning home.

With this, Ethan had overcome the first hurdle of Luna’s family.

However, he was certain that his quest to gain her whole family’s approval was only beginning.
