When Idan heard Arabel's agreent, he was inwardly delighted, but he did not show it in any way.
Neither of them suspected that the others had been watching them all this ti. They seed to be more excited about it than the couple themselves.
They both had no experience in such a relationship, and they didn't know how to behave. So, they just sat in silence, alternately staring at the fire and exchanging glances with each other.
The little creature watched the couple and their smiles with interest. Although they didn't say a word to each other after the confession and agreent, she could sense their good mood.
When Idan cald down a bit, he noticed movent in the darkness next to them out of the corner of his eye.
Looking more closely, he saw a tiny black creature with golden eyes that was staring steadily in their direction.
He couldn't mistake those eyes for anyone else, and he imdiately recognized who it was. He was pleasantly surprised.
"Arabel, look!" Idan said in his mind, and Arabel, following his gaze, also noticed the creature with golden eyes. She was also pleasantly surprised to find it.
The presence of the little watcher filled Arabel with foreboding.
She imdiately used her Soul Force to check her tent and found Eulalia, who was still keeping a close eye on them.
Realizing that she had been caught, Eulalia just grinned and gave a thumbs-up.
Arabel, seeing Eulalia's gesture, was embarrassed, and her face turned slightly red.
She realized that everyone had witnessed her and Idan's conversation.
Idan, not being a fool, also imdiately realized that almost everyone had heard his confession. However, unlike Arabel, he wasn't embarrassed.
Looking at the little black beast, Idan was lost in thought.
After a while, he made a decision.
"Let's go to Geminia," Idan suggested, getting up from his seat.
"Now?" — Arabel wondered, surprised by Idan's sudden suggestion.
"Yes," Idan replied and held out his hand to her.
This was new to Arabel, and she still felt embarrassed. But she overca herself and held out her hand.
Idan took her hand and helped her up.
And now they were walking hand in hand towards the Geminia building.
It was the first ti for both of them to walk hand in hand, and they were both excited.
Once upon a ti, when Idan was little, he walked like this only with his older sister and mother. After such a long ti, he had already forgotten what it felt like. But now, holding Arabel's hands, he rembered those feelings again.
When she saw where they were going, the little beast, which had already turned into a kitten by that ti, followed them, jumping with small steps.
By the ti they arrived, the door of the building opened on its own, inviting the couple inside, and the couple stepped inside without stopping.
They felt the gaze from all sides again.
This ti, they didn't pay as much attention to it and imdiately went to the very room where they had talked with Geminia today.
Holding hands, the two of them went inside and found Geminia sitting at a table, waiting for them. Her appearance was still a beautiful woman with long black hair.
When she saw them holding hands, a charming smile blossod on her face.
— You seem to have co to a decision? — she asked.
—Yes, and it's all thanks to you, — Idan replied, not letting go of Arabel's hand.
In response, she squeezed his hand tightly, although she was still looking at Geminia in embarrassnt, she couldn't help but smile.
At that mont, she didn't understand why she was smiling.
"Sit down," Geminia invited them to sit down.
After receiving the invitation, the couple finally let go of their hands and sat down on chairs, and at the sa ti, a small black kitten jumped onto Geminia's knee.
"Ah, there you are," with a smile, she caught her and began to pamper and pet her.
Idan and Arabel looked at the two of them with a smile.
Geminia was pleasantly surprised to see Arabel in her true appearance.
She could only catch a glimpse of her approximate features under the artifact's disguise. And also, when she used her soul power while watching the two of them, she could spot her without the mask.
And now, sitting across from her, she was sure that she was beautiful. She also realized that this guy was very lucky to have her.
"What brings you here?" Geminia finally asked the couple after pampering the little beast.
Looking at the beast in Geminia's lap, then looking straight into Geminia's eyes, Idan said,
"Geminia, I wanted to ask you about this beast. We noticed earlier in the day that she was showing so interest in Nemo. I wanted to ask if, with your permission, it is possible for this beast to establish a contract with Nemo?"
Idan didn't beat around the bush and asked the question directly.
To his surprise, Geminia showed neither anger nor even a hint of displeasure. She just continued to stare into his eyes. Then, sighing, she shook her head.
"That's impossible," Geminia replied, and there was regret in her voice.
"Why is that?" — Arabel asked instead of Idan, wanting to know the reason for Geminia's refusal.
Instead of answering right away, Geminia stared at them intently, as if trying to figure sothing out.
"Don't you know?" — she asked a counter question.
"Know what?" — Idan wondered, not quite understanding what she was getting at.
"Even if I allow it, this guy has already signed a contract with soone," Geminia replied.
It took Idan and Arabel a mont to understand what she was talking about, but then they imdiately rembered Izzy.
"How is this related? Is it really necessary for your consent that Nemo does not have another contract?" asked Idan in perplexity.
Geminia frowned at these words. She wondered, "Maybe they don't know?"
"Don't you know that every being can only make one contract in their entire life, and not everyone is capable of it?" she asked.
Idan and Arabel were both surprised by Geminia's response. '
How could they know that?
The two exchanged glances with each other. Trying to figure out what to do next.
Then Idan, after thinking a little and asking himself a few questions, caught sothing and suddenly began to laugh, surprising Arabel and Geminia.
"Ah, System, System. Now I understand why you gave us the task to "help" Nemo ta this unique creature. You knew these limitations with a single contract from the beginning, didn't you?" Idan ntally asked a question to the System.
Arabel heard his words too.
"No, you don't have to answer. I already guessed it myself," Idan said, then looked at Arabel and continued.
"System knew that there were limitations of a single contract in this world, or perhaps there were no developed abilities or techniques for beasts taming. By "help," the System ant to give Nemo this technique or ability that would help him sign his second contract. And what do you think we need to do for that?"
"The Trade function!" exclaid Arabel.
"Bingo!" Idan confird Arabel's guess.
