"Taken an interest in me?!"
Hearing Lin say this, Akua Shuzen's eyes widened slightly, her pupils trembling lightly, and a blush colored her cheeks.
She hadn't expected Lin to be so direct.
And he had clearly wanted to kill her just moments ago, yet now he was saying he was interested in her? Was this even logical?
A feeling of shyness flashed across her face.
Akua Shuzen slightly furrowed her brows: "Aren't you afraid Moka will be sad?"
Lin: "You mean?"
Akua Shuzen: "Finding other women."
Lin's lips subtly curved: "Don't worry about that. I already discussed this with Moka, and she agreed."
Akua Shuzen: "..."
Well, what else could she say?
At this, Lin said again: "How about this, I'll give you seven days. Give me your answer after seven days."
".....Alright."
Akua Shuzen slowly nodded.
Afterwards, she slightly raised her head and glanced in the direction of the master bedroom on the second floor.
Turning back to Lin, she said:
"I'll be leaving now. Please tell Moka for me that I have something to attend to and will come see her again in seven days."
"Alright." Lin nodded in agreement.
Akua Shuzen turned and walked towards the courtyard, preparing to leave.
"Wait."
At this, Lin suddenly called out to her.
"???"
Akua Shuzen stopped and looked at Lin.
Lin chuckled: "Since you're already here, take something with you."
"Something?"
Akua Shuzen was a little puzzled.
Lin turned, took out a bottle of specially made tomato juice from the kitchen refrigerator, returned to the living room, and handed it to Akua Shuzen.
"This! Isn't this too much?"
Akua Shuzen looked at the tomato juice in front of her, feeling both surprised and delighted.
She hadn't expected Lin to give her a bottle of tomato juice as a gift to take away.
Although she really wanted it.
But thinking of their current relationship, she hesitated somewhat.
Seeing her indecisive and unable to resist lightly biting her lower lip, a smile appeared in Lin's eyes, and he said with a laugh:
"Alright, take it."
"I generally don't take back things I've given away. If you don't want it, just throw it somewhere."
"Oh, I want it, I want it!"
As soon as Akua Shuzen heard Lin say this, she quickly reached out and took the tomato juice from his hand, the corners of her mouth curving slightly upwards.
Her happiness was a little hard to conceal.
And seeing her take the bait, Lin, as the fisherman, was also very happy.
You're happy, I'm happy.
A win-win, everyone's happy.
"Then I'll be going now, thank you."
Akua Shuzen, holding the tomato juice, thanked Lin, came to the courtyard, and swiftly departed with a light whirl.
"Not taking the usual route, I see."
Seeing her leave like this, rather than through the front door, Lin couldn't help but shake his head with a slight smile, turning to walk upstairs.
What, you're saying I didn't warn her?
Does one need a warning for taking the back entrance?
Leaving Lin's home, Akua Shuzen sped towards Fukushima Prefecture at a speed imperceptible to ordinary people.
In another great world.
Time rewound several hours.
Tohru, after touring Japan, used magic to open a spatial channel and returned to the world where she was born.
After revisiting some familiar places.
She made a decision in her heart.
To find Lin.
To try and experience a new life.
This was her own choice.
Just like the thief girl from back then, it was something she wanted to do herself.
Perhaps this was also a kind of freedom.
When she made her decision, Lin illuminated her Codex entry.
After making her decision, Tohru wasn't in a hurry to go to the main world of Earth,
Instead, she looked for a few friends.
Such as Lucoa and Fafnir.
As dawn approached, after visiting her friends and family, Tohru once again cast magic, opening a spatial channel to Earth.
What she didn't know was this:
After some time, a dragon, following her trail, opened a spatial channel and arrived on Earth.
When Tohru visited Earth again.
In the Celestial Realm, above the atmosphere, separated by multiple invisible spatial barriers.
"It's that dragon again."
A short golden-haired angel couldn't help but slightly furrow her brow.
Her pupils slightly constricted.
A wisp of golden light shimmered faintly.
From an incredibly distant place, her gaze pierced through layers of space, bringing Tohru's figure into her sight.
She watched her for a while.
It didn't look like she was causing trouble on Earth, so she withdrew her gaze.
As long as she wasn't causing trouble.
Then everything was fine.
Even if the other party was from another world.
In her eyes, all beings were equal, be they angels, demons, or giant dragons from other worlds.
She wouldn't easily hold prejudices.
Including the evil spirits and yokai on Earth.
Since all things exist in the world, there is a reason for their existence.
This was a fundamental rule of how the world operated.
......
Time flowed like water, fleeting like the wind.
When a ray of morning light pierced through the night.
Tohru, guided by a trace of Lin's aura, used tracking magic to arrive in Nerima Ward, finding his location.
"This is it!"
Looking at the residential area below, and sensing Lin's aura, Tohru felt a mix of happiness and anticipation in her heart.
"However....."
Sensing another unusual aura beside Lin, Tohru blinked her red eyes, deep in thought.
Meanwhile, in the bedroom.
"Hm?!"
Lin, sleeping embraced by Akashiya Moka, suddenly opened his eyes, and an invisible mental energy instantly extended outwards.
After sensing the familiar aura.
Lin lowered his guard, his lips subtly curved, revealing a smile.
So it was Tohru who had arrived.
Seeing Akashiya Moka still sleeping soundly in his arms, Lin didn't disturb her, gently getting out of bed and putting on a bathrobe.
He found Tohru had landed in the courtyard.
So he went to the first floor and, through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the courtyard, saw Tohru outside, already transformed into her human form.
She was already wearing a maid outfit.
Only it wasn't a traditional type.
Rather, it was like a two-dimensional maid outfit, blending traditional with modern.
Tohru also saw Lin.
Her eyes seemed to sparkle slightly.
Lin skillfully used his mental energy to open both sides of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Tohru came to the outside of the floor-to-ceiling window.
With a cheerful, adorable smile on her face, she looked at Lin and said:
"Lin, I'm here."
"From today onwards, I will be your exclusive maid."
Choosing to become Lin's maid.
Besides wanting to experience a new life.
She also wanted to repay his kindness.
After all, Lin had saved her life earlier.
"Welcome home. Please take care of me from now on, Tohru."
Their eyes met, and Lin smiled as he extended his right hand towards Tohru.
The smile on his face was bright and sunny.
"Please take care of me."
Hearing the word 'home', Tohru's eyes flickered slightly, and she extended her right hand, clasping it with Lin's.
Her smile was cute and charming.
Seeming even more endearing.
Releasing her hand, Lin said with a smile: "Come in first. Afterwards, I'll introduce someone to you, Tohru."
"The one upstairs?"
Tohru glanced upstairs upon hearing this.
The aura she had detected was like that of the Bloodline Clan from her own world.
And it was different from ordinary Bloodline Clan members.
She couldn't quite articulate the specific differences at the moment.
"Yes, her name is Akashiya Moka."
Lin nodded with a smile.
"Come, Tohru, have a seat."
He had Tohru sit on the sofa.
Lin sat beside her, meeting Tohru's gaze.
Then, with a serious expression, he asked:
"Tohru, would you like to sign a King's Clansman contract with me?"
