Chapter 245: A date with Lucy (a) (2/2)

”No need to buy one for us, master.”

”We will be living under the same roof.”

”Won't you guys be uncomfortable?”

”Not really.”

”Well then, fine.”

Elliot had a lot, so he didn't mind paying for everyone. The two beasts refused as they were going to live with him.

Elliot moved forward to purchase two houses for the remaining three years. He had so many spirit points that he didn't care about using less than a hundred for himself and Lucy.

”You don't need to pay for mine, too.”

Lucy stopped him from owing her another favor. Lucy had several hundred spirit points in her hand, and although she had less than Elliot, she could still afford a house for herself.

”Hmm, why?” Elliot asked purposely.

Lucy replied, ”I will pay for mine.”

”It would be a waste.”

Elliot wasn't willing to let her waste what little amount of spirit points she possessed.

John saw what was happening and decided to give his long-time friend a helping hand.

”Bro, are you trying to propose something?”

Lucy looked towards Elliot, wondering what he wanted to actually say to her. Elliot directly told her to live with them. He told her that the house he purchased had five rooms, and she could occupy one of them for free. And if she wasn't fine with that, then she could pay him a spirit point every year. Elliot didn't realize that his words caused her heart to beat frantically. She felt as if she was a married woman who was getting taken to her new home. In her confusion, she nodded her head. Elliot took it as an agreement, and that's how Lucy started living with him and his pets.

”It's already dark, and since you guys have been fighting for your life for the past seven days, it would be wise to rest for the night. I will show you guys the rest of the places tomorrow.”

They had explored many places. The only places left were the shop and the training facilities. Elliot, Lucy, and the two overly excited beasts had enough patience to wait for a night, so they agreed to head home.

”Why don't we go and take a dip in the hot spring?” John proposed with a smile.

”This place has one?” Elliot was pretty clean, but dirt, blood, and sweat covered Lucy. Although she wasn't too smelly, a not-so-graceful odor was still coming out of her. The others didn't mind. Though, she did. She was a girl, and smelling bad was a big no for her. So, she really wanted to take a hot bath to relax and clean herself.

”Yes, and it's really close.”

John told them where they could find the hot spring. After he finished saying that, Theo grabbed him and activated his teleportation ability to leave Lucy and Elliot alone.

”Where are you going?”

Elliot wasn't able to understand why Theo was going away and forcefully taking John with him.
