Seeing Arthur laugh made Lynne's cheeks redden as she raised her glass, covering her embarrassment with the drink.
Even for her, saying such words was embarrassing.
"You know, it's not impossible that we can start a family"
Suddenly Arthur brought both hands to his cheek and said such words, that made Lynne almost spit out her drink in shock….
"Seriously... Are you serious?"
Lynne stuttered, the happiness she felt at this moment was intense, she who would have thought that her direct confession would be effective and Arthur will accept it...
"Of course, I wouldn't mind marrying you, as long as my mother agrees"
Since Lynne was honest and direct, Arthur was too.
Arthur knew that the biggest obstacle for his future partner would be Elizabeth, she is a Duchess and quite overprotective.
She is a nightmarish mother-in-law if she wanted to win her approval and until now only the royal family had her approval for marriage and this is because the royal family had a contract established by the last Spirit Fox.
Otherwise Elizabeth would not have given in so easily, the difficulty in winning her hand in marriage is ridiculous.
"Mrs. Nataly's approval?"
Of course Lynne didn't know about Elizabeth's existence and she thought of Nataly who threatened her.
"I will definitely earn her approval!"
"..."
However a threat never stopped her, Arthur on the other hand didn't speak, he just smiled, it's up to her if he can convince Elizabeth, besides the first thing you have to do is look for Elizabeth...
----------------
The next day the Lujan family was animated again...
Arthur had dropped a bombshell, after the meal, Arthur announced that he was going to move into a singles apartment.
"I found a house nearby, so I will come to visit you often"
The two women at home reacted in an instant.
Nataly grabbed her daughter by the neck and easily subdued her.
"Do you really want to move? If you do it for this daughter of mine, I assure you that I will break her leg if she bothers you"
"Hey! I didn't do anything!"
Indara protested angrily, she has been very careful at home, she didn't want Arthur to hate her so her self-control almost reached the level of a monk.
After all, Arthur is very sexy and having such a cake walking around the house in front of her every day, Indara almost reached the limit, especially when Arthur gets out of the bath or sweats from exercise, the stimulation was too great for a teenager like her. , Indara has lost a lot of blood because of that.
But she gritted her teeth and forced herself not to spy on him in the bathroom or push Arthur onto the bed.
Everything to prevent Arthur from leaving the house because of the harassment...
But even without the harassment, Arthur would still leave the house.
Arthur had already planned to do it from the beginning, the only reason he was in the Lujan family, was to make life easier for Elias and prevent Indara from rejecting him.
Since his work is already done, he no longer wanted to intervene in this family.
In addition, there was also another reason and that is that when his family comes looking for him, to avoid involving the Lujan as little as possible, he did not want this family to suffer difficulties because of him.
So she had to go...
"I appreciate her good intentions, but Indara didn't do anything to upset me, on the contrary I like her company"
Arthur shook his head and continued.
"My goal is the continental competition 'Quitor' and I signed up at the school for this reason, I will be quite busy and I don't want to bother you..."
"You're not a bother! You can do whatever you want in this house! We've got your back!"
Nataly and Indara were anxious, they had a feeling that if they let Arthur go, he would never come back.
Indara especially was quite scared and Nataly clenched her fists.
Her son (husband) is leaving, Nataly definitely didn't want to, Arthur is very sweet, polite and helps a lot at home, the stomachs of this family could no longer live without Arthur, this boy is a star husband, which Nataly had already sworn that he definitely wouldn't let this guy marry a useless woman.
He is too good...
"Thanks, but I'll have to decline"
"Honey, please stop him! I don't think it's wise for a man his age to live alone, you don't know what kind of dangers there are in singles apartments..."
Since she couldn't stop him, Nataly turned to Elias, Arthur's father, as a man who should understand the dangers of a young man living alone, as well as the fact that men are more protective of their children.
Men living alone are not uncommon among the human population, it was quite common as upon entering college, men were separated from their families.
But Arthur is still underage, besides with his beauty, no matter where he went, he attracts attention and Nataly and Indara fear that one day Arthur will be assaulted in his house by a bad woman.
After all her appearance, her personality is too tempting...
"Okay, I trust Liam"
However, Elías's answer left Nataly and Indara stunned.
"What are you saying? It's dangerous and you know it! Liam is underage!"
Elias sighed at his wife's claims, he knew the reason why Arthur was leaving so he couldn't stop him, he didn't have that right, Arthur had already done a lot for him, asking for more was not reasonable.
"It's okay Mrs. Nataly, it's my own desire to leave, besides the things I'll do are confidential"
"Confidential?"
"That's right, because I am the chief mechanic of Deus Ex Machina, the creator of the Wunder"
"..."
--------------
After Arthur and Elias convinced Nataly and Indara to move by promising to visit every day, Arthur arrived at his new house.
It was an apartment with an amazing view, likewise reinforced with magic power materials and it was also equipped with space creation and his own laboratory.
"Hmm not bad, it's a good place"
"Of course it's good, I chose it myself"
Arthur was pleased with his temporary home so he didn't stop Akagi from bragging, plus he kissed her in return.
Akagi however was happy that Arthur would be alone again, so there would be no one else involved in their relationship.
But while Akagi was daydreaming, Arthur finished unpacking and a cake came out of his space ring and appeared in his hand...
"Hm? And the cake? Is it for me?"
Akagi's eyes lit up and saliva began to drip, however before this biological machine touched the cake, Arthur hit it.
"No, it's not for you, it's for the neighbors"
"Tch...Neighbors?"
"You have to be courteous to the neighbors"
Akagi clucked her tongue in annoyance, Arthur smiled in response, it is simply a courtesy to greet the neighbors, although she would only be in this apartment for a short time, it was still part of his noble teachings.
Minutes later, Arthur reached the first door and rang the bell, a slight commotion was heard but after a few minutes a very small voice was heard from the intercom.
"Who?"
"I am the new neighbor, I bring a present"
"..."
A moment of awkward silence before the door opened slightly and a bespectacled girl poked her head out of him.
The freckles on her face along with her shyness, made this girl look like a bookworm, however a blush appeared on her cheeks when she saw Arthur, pretty boy with closed eyes.
(...!!)
Rebecca's mind was momentarily shocked, as a 'Manga' artist she often used male models of other races due to her beauty.
After a whole manga if there are no beautiful characters, relying only on story and development is not enough, the presentation is important.
Especially for this girl that she draws, about the romance, of humans with other races.
And the moment she saw Arthur a flash of sudden inspiration appeared in her mind.
"Uh...uh..."
She wanted to go draw, but she didn't want to stop looking at Arthur, this contradiction made her head ache.
As an artist she had an instinct for her art, while as her woman her desires forced her to stand in the door.
"My name is Liam Lujan your new neighbor please accept this gift"
Arthur doesn't care about this woman's reaction, he was used to it, so he directly handed the cake over, before bowing and walking to the other door, again with another cake in her hand, ringing the bell.
Hi, I'm the new neighbor...
"Not now! I'm busy!"
However, unlike Rebecca who opened the door, the other neighbor did not let Arthur finish talking and refused immediately, leaving Arthur with the cake in his hand...
"..."
Rebecca who was still at the door opened her mouth, she couldn't believe what just happened, not opening the door and yelling from the intercom is quite rude, if she wanted to refuse at least she should have been kind, especially with someone as handsome as Arthur .
Rebecca knew about the next door neighbor, that manhunting woman, she's definitely going to regret not answering the door.
But she was also relieved, now that she had ruined the impression with Arthur this manhunter would not tarnish such a handsome boy.
(Fortunately, God exists)
It would be a great waste if such a bad woman got her claws into Arthur, so Rebecca was grateful that now that woman was having wild sex, otherwise Rebecca's fragile heart wouldn't take it.
She already had enough with that woman bringing men home every 3 days, for a hikikomori like her, having a male-hunting neighbor is worse than poison.
And now seeing Arthur standing there with cake in hand, Rebecca almost went against her personality and tried to step forward and comfort this pretty boy...
(This voice?)
Of course Arthur didn't know what Rebecca was thinking and he didn't care that the other neighbor didn't open the door either, from the smell coming out of the door, Arthur guessed what was going on inside, besides the woman's voice was quite well known , even so Arthur didn't keep ringing the bell, so he shrugged and continued with the next door...
Fortunately this time they answered her, she was a girl of approximately 12 years old and like Rebecca this girl was also fascinated by Arthur.
Arthur handed over the cake and continued to the next door, this time it was a middle-aged man.
Rebecca didn't enter her apartment and she stared at all of Arthur's exchange with the neighbors, except for the manhunter, they all opened the door for her likewise, they all stared at Arthur and didn't enter her house, just like Rebecca...
And only when Arthur returned to his own apartment, is that all the neighbors entered their apartments, Rebecca was no exception, however before doing so she looked twice at the next door, she was the only neighbor closest to Arthur and this made his heart race...
(I have to draw!)
Rebecca's excitement was too much that she didn't stop drawing until the next day...
"No! No... No... Nooooo!!"
But when she finished drawing and praising her good work, she fell into the abyss, since Arthur's cake was ruined, she forgot to freeze it....
That appetizing cake...
(was it homemade?)
Rebecca didn't know it, but still she didn't hesitate to slap herself.
This time it was a great loss, her scream of agony was even heard by other neighbors...
