LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 185: You Wait Outside!
Chapter 185: You Wait Outside!
After entering the room, Luke explained the whole story to Riveria.
"Planning to live outside with Ais for a while..."
Riveria immediately regained her serious demeanor when it came to matters regarding Ais.
She buried the chaotic thoughts deep in her mind and carefully considered the impact of this decision on Ais.
"Alright, I have no objection. I'll sort out Ais's personal belongings and give them to you later."
"Eh? You don't object?"
Riveria's attitude, similar to that of Finn, really surprised Luke.
He originally thought that Riveria would be the most difficult one to convince, but who knew it would be even easier to convince her than Finn?
"Ais has already reached the age where she should start to be independent. And this is a good opportunity for her to experience living alone."
Riveria saw the surprised expression on Luke's face and knew what he was thinking.
Giving him an annoyed look, Riveria continued, "And it's just moving out temporarily. It's not as worrying as the two of you going to the dungeon to save people without any preparations."
"Besides, with you taking care of Ais in the city, she won't encounter any danger. So, I have no reason to object."
"Besides... you're living with Ryuu Lion, right? Since she's an elf, I'll try my best to help if I can."
"And, I actually have to thank you for this."
Riveria sighed at this point.
"I'll go see that child when I have the chance."
Riveria's understanding surprised Luke because she had always been more sensitive when it came to matters regarding Ais.
However, after listening to her words, he had to admit that what she said was exactly what he was thinking.
It could be said that the two of them looked at this matter from almost the same perspective.
However, there was another reason why Riveria agreed so quickly.
But she had no intention of saying it out loud.
These past few days, Ais had often dragged Riveria to play the "hand-holding" game with Luke, and this kind of "interaction" was really too much for her.
Now that she had found an opportunity to "take a break," Riveria wholeheartedly agreed.
"I'll sort out Ais's belongings. Wait for me."
Riveria stood up and walked to the side, then reached out and opened the wardrobe.
Bang!
But she immediately closed it, then turned around and stared at him with a blushing face.
"You, go and wait outside!"
Without needing her to tell him, after his gaze subconsciously followed her figure and saw the contents of the wardrobe, Luke very consciously walked out.
At the last moment before walking out the door, Luke still couldn't help but glance at the wardrobe again, while the flash of pink he just saw echoed in his mind.
'Judging by the size, it doesn't seem to be fit for Ais's size...'
With some strange thoughts, Luke left Riveria's room.
…
Everything on Loki Familia's side had been taken care of.
So, Luke left the place with his and Ais's belongings.
At the same time, the shopping trip of the two problem girls was also coming to an end.
The three of them soon returned to Stardust Garden one after another.
"Ais, these are your things."
Luke handed her personal belongings to Ais and said, "Everything is inside. Can you sort it out yourself?"
"No."
"..."
Luke just asked casually, he really didn't expect her to reply with a "no."
Although he was a little speechless, there was nothing he could do about it.
"Then take your things to your room first, I'll help you organize them later."
Pointing to her room next door, Luke sighed.
At this moment, he somewhat understood Riveria's usual hard work.
Since they had already cleaned the room in the morning, they only needed to put things away this time.
It didn't take long for Luke to finish tidying up and organizing his and Ais's rooms.
And, while helping Ais organize her personal belongings, he couldn't resist his curiosity and took a sneak peek.
'White... no pink.'
'And this size... so the pink one really is Riveria's...'
'I didn't expect Riveria to be so girly...'
Feeling like he had accidentally discovered some incredible secret, Luke immediately shook his head and buried this matter deep in his heart.
After all the fuss, the afternoon was almost over.
Luke didn't plan to eat out in the evening.
And at the strong request of a certain elf girl, they decided to make dinner themselves.
"Are you sure it's okay?"
Luke stood by watching the "fully armed" Ryuu, feeling his stomach ache.
"No matter what, Please leave the dinner preparations to me!"
With firm determination and a desire to restore her Familia's honor and her own image, the elf girl was extremely enthusiastic about making dinner.
However…
"..."
Looking at Ryuu, who was sitting at the dining table silent and autistic, Luke rubbed his forehead helplessly.
There were a few plates of ordinary dishes on the table.
Although both the appearance and taste could only be described as average, they were still considered edible.
If this was only the case, our elf girl should be happy.
Unfortunately, these dishes were made by Luke.
A plate of carbonized matter placed in the corner of the dining table was Ryuu's work for tonight.
"...Let's eat."
"We still have to go to Mama Mia's place after dinner."
Luke didn't know how to comfort her at this moment.
He had already witnessed the result of Ryuu taking care of Alise and the others in the dungeon, so after knowing that the girl had no cooking experience, he should have expected such an outcome.
'Besides, it's not like I didn't try to stop her,' Luke thought to himself as he calmly ate his dinner.
…
After having dinner and taking a short rest, Luke went out again to the 'Hostess of Fertility' tavern.
Mama Mia had asked him to come over after closing time, but Luke was idle anyway, so he decided to treat it as an after-meal walk and planned to wander around the streets until late at night before going there.
This time, he went out alone, without Ais or Ryuu as company.
Because he was worried about them alone, and if he took one of them with him, he would definitely have to take the other one as well.
So, after thinking for a while, Luke finally decided to go out alone.
And come to think of it, it had been a while since he had wandered the streets of Orario alone at night.
This was just the right opportunity.
