Chapter 469: Are you going back to your old ways?
“Who are we going to recruit to our guild?” Arabel asked bluntly, sitting down next to Idan on the sofa.
After going up to his luxurious room and making sure that no one was around, Idan activated the Sphere of Secret Concealnt.
“The first candidate is Hailey,” Idan said the na of the first candidate.
“I agree,” Arabel nodded, having no objections to this candidacy.
“The second one is Leo,” Idan ntioned the fat man’s na.
“Hmm…” Arabel thought.
“Do you have any suitable candidates?” Idan asked, voicing only these two nas so far. They needed at least five people to complete the System’s task.
“What about Esma and Bera?” Arabel suggested. “Esma already has identification cards, and for Bera we can make them at any ti.”
“If the System accepts them as Guild mbers, why not?” agreed Idan.
“There are also those three whose Systems have oath of loyalty to our System,” Arabel recalled of the other three subordinates.
“If I’m not mistaken, one of them is a mber of the Association,” Idan recalled that girl with long black hair who possessed the elent of ice.
“I’m not sure about two of them,” he added.
“We’ll ask the System to find out through their Systems if they’re ready to join our Guild, it’s that simple,” Arabel said with a slight smile.
“Okay, but let’s not insist and ask if they agree. If not, then we’ll decide what to do,” Idan suggested, and Arabel agreed with him.
“System, did you hear us?” she asked the System.
[Yes, Host, I’m starting to act], ca the reply.
“Thank you,” — Arabel said.
“As far as I understand, Hailey is watching Felicia right now, and she hasn’t woken up yet,” Arabel said. “But we’ll still have ti to discuss this issue with her and get her consent by tomorrow.”
“I’ll talk to Esma myself, but as for Bera, I don’t even need to ask her, she’ll imdiately agree without any questions,” Arabel mused, rubbing her chin. “That leaves only Leo.”
“Yes, it turns out that way,” Idan confird.
“Okay, — Arabel said, standing up abruptly. “I’m going to et him.”
“Huh? What?” — Idan was surprised.
“We will act quickly while we have the opportunity,” Arabel said with noticeable enthusiasm.
“Ha-ha,” — Idan laughed. “Do you really want to complete the task and get the coupon?”
“Is it too obvious?” asked Arabel, slightly embarrassed.
“I’m no less excited than you are, Belle, so that’s not surprising,” Idan replied.
“Then I’ll find out from Esma where Leo lives and visit him,” Arabel said. “Unlike you, I can move stealthily and sneak into places thanks to my Dark Valkyrie bloodline.”
“Hmm… You’re right,” Idan nodded. “But are you sure you can handle it?”
“Don’t worry, Dan. Trust ,” Arabel said confidently.
“Lately, I’ve started to notice that I depend on you too much and follow you in everything,” Arabel shared her concern. “Of course, I like being with you and relying on you. But I also want to contribute to our common cause.”
“So let deal with Leo on my own,” she asked, looking into Idan’s eyes.
“Co here,” Idan called, holding out his hands without getting up from the couch.
Arabel took his hands, and Idan gently pulled her to him.
Just like in the morning, she sat on his lap.
“I like you, Belle. I like you the way you are, but I also like you more when you take the initiative. So go ahead,” Idan said, kissing her gently on the forehead.
Arabel smiled broadly, hugged him and kissed him on the neck, got up and straightened her clothes and went to the balcony. However, halfway there, she stopped and turned around.
“I’m looking forward to a delicious dinner from you,” she said with a smile.
“Don’t worry, I’ll cook a delicious dinner for you when you get back,” Idan replied, ready to start cooking dinner.
Arabel just smiled in response, transford into a Dark Valkyrie, opened the balcony door and disappeared into the night, leaving Idan and Coco alone.
Idan sat for a while longer, admiring the night sky through the open balcony door.
“Woo-woo-woo,” — Coco’s purring suddenly rang out, distracting him from his thoughts and attracting his attention.
Looking at Coco, Idan froze.
Coco had a photo album in her paws.
“That scoundrel!” blurted out Idan. “Are you going back to your old ways?”
Coco tilted her head innocently, as if asking: “What are you talking about?”
Noticing her Master’s gaze, she opened the photo album, and several photos of Arabel appeared in front of Idan.
After seeing these pictures, Idan swallowed hard. After what happened in Limbo, he hadn’t seen Coco’s photos of Arabel.
And again, looking at Coco’s work, Idan couldn’t help but admire the fox cub’s talent. Arabel looked absolutely gorgeous in these photos.
Forgetting about what had happened, Idan started sorting through the photos.
“When do you have ti to make them?” he asked, looking at Coco. She just smiled sheepishly, looking away.
Studying the photos that showed only Arabel, Idan suddenly realized sothing amazing.
“I rember exactly that Belle didn’t take off her Ghost Mask at that ti…” he muttered.
“It looks like Coco doesn’t have an ordinary cara. It can take photos of us, ignoring the Ghost Masks, and capture our true appearance,” concluded Idan.
Initially, he assud that Coco would recognize them through her connection to the System, but now he realized that everything was much more complicated.
“Can Coco see through Ghost Masks like her cara?” he wondered.
“Woo-woo-woo, — Coco stretched out her paws. Seeing this gesture, Idan imdiately understood what she wanted.
This scoundrel demands candy in exchange for photos.
Idan did not imdiately respond. He raised his head and began to look around, fearing that Arabel had not left and was standing behind his back.
“System, is Belle here or has she left?” — he decided to turn to the System.
[Host. Your partner is not around,] — the System reassured, without saying anything, as it liked to do.
“Phew…” sighed Idan with relief.
Then, after selecting so good photos of Arabel, Idan noticed sothing interesting.
“Coco, are there any more intimate photos of Belle?” he asked with so embarrassnt, turning to the little fox.
Coco looked at Idan with a sly smile, but before answering, she rembered a recent conversation with her mistress and quickly shook her head, denying the existence of such pictures.
“Eh…” sighed Idan, disappointed.
Coco also sighed with disappointnt.
All this ti, Idan did not suspect that the whole situation was set up by Arabel.
It was she who asked Coco to sell her photos to Idan for candy, setting a condition: if Coco has any explicit and intimate pictures, she should not show and sell them to Idan.
When Coco nodded, Arabel nodded back with satisfaction. She didn’t realize that if Idan had offered sweets, Coco would have been happy to share such photos. But for so reason, Idan believed Coco and did not insist.
After exchanging a few photos, Idan went to the kitchen in a good mood to cook dinner.
And the satisfied little fox began to lick the lollipop, obtained as a result of a successful exchange.
