Two days after buying the new house they moved there.

The house was located at north from Erika's school,

Tinley City High School in Tinley city.

The necessary stuffs and the furniture have already been bought and shifted here.

After reaching there In the morning, Erik and Erika went to the front door of the house.

Erik took out the key and opened the door of the house.

They went inside.

"Wow."

Erika was very surprised to see the inside of the house. The house was very beautiful from the outside but the was more beautiful.

"The house must have been made by professional workers."

Erik commented while looking around the house.

House had two floors with the bedroom being in the 2nd floor.

The house had a living room with a big television. The kitchen had all the necessary utensils.

"How much did the house cost?"

Erika asked a question while still very much surprised to have seen their new house.

"I costed 115k for everything."

"Isn't that a lot!"

"Don't worry. It isn't much compared to what you can earn from the under world."

As they were talking they went to the 2nd floor and entered the bedroom.

The bedroom was big. It had a big bed for both of them. It had a few furnitures inside.

There was also a television. This one was smaller than what was in the living room.

"Isn't the bed very big?"

Erika asked the question seeing the big bed.

"Well, since both of us will be sleeping in the same bed, I thought why not buy a big bed. Isn't it great?"

"Yes, it is." Erika said while blushing imagining all the things they will be doing on this bed in the future."

"There are two more smaller bedrooms in the house for the guest or when your friends come."

Erika nodded while hearing him.

Just like that a week passed.

They spent this week getting familiar with there new home.

Erika was gradually getting stronger as she started going to the gym.

She was able to lift up to 50kg. It was a very big progress for one week as she was only lift up to 30 kg of weights. It was all possible with the help of the system.

Erika was very surprised when she saw Erik bench press 400kg of weights. With his stats he can be considered one of the strongest humans in the world. Erik had surpassed his previous life self by a large margin.

She also got a few gym related missions too, so she was able to get some stat points and SCs as rewards.

She was also learning how to use knives and guns from Erik. She also often spars with Erik to learn hand to hand combat too.

As thing were going Erik thought that she will be able to come with him to the underworld in about a month.

Right now Erik and Erika were going to shop for clothes.

He could buy clothes from the system but that wouldn't be fun. That's why they were going together to shop and this was also a date. Their first date.

Both of them were nervous as it was their first date.

'Why are you getting nervous, Erik? You have already did the did with her and we know almost everything about each other. Get yourself together Erik.'

Erik thought in his mind as he looked in the mirror of the bathroom.

Erika wasn't better either.

She was also blushing very hard while getting ready in their bedroom.

"This is the first time I am going on a date. We have already gone shopping before together. But I am still getting nervous. Sigh~~."

After 20 minutes they were ready to go.

They exited the house and started walking on the road.

Erik took Erika's left hand in with his right hand holding it.

They were able to calm down a bit when they were holding hands.

Erika and Erik strolled hand in hand through the bustling streets, their laughter harmonizing with the lively atmosphere around them. They decided to explore the town's vibrant marketplace, where a kaleidoscope of shops awaited their eager eyes.

Their first stop was a quaint flower shop adorned with vibrant blooms. Erika's eyes sparkled with delight as she inhaled the fragrant air.

"Wow! The flowers are so beautiful!" Erika said as she kept looking at the flowers in the shop

Erik carefully selected a bouquet of Erika's favorite flowers—roses, daisies, and tulips. Erik than paid the money to the owner of the shop.

He went to Erika and gave the bouquet.

"Thank you, brother! I really love it!"

"Haha..I am glad."

Next, they ventured into a cozy coffeehouse that emanated the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee. With steaming cups in hand, they settled into a corner booth, talking with each other as they savored each sip.

Refueled by caffeine, Erika and Erik made their way to a fashionable boutique. As they browsed through racks of clothing, they playfully selected outfits for each other. Erik adorned Erika in a flowing dress that accentuated her radiant beauty, while she dressed him in a dapper suit. Their laughter filled the dressing room, sealing their bond with shared joy.

Feeling peckish, they stumbled upon a gourmet food market brimming with delicacies from around the world. Their taste buds danced with delight as they sampled an array of cheeses, olives, and chocolates.

Erika took a spoon to feed Erika with her hand.

"Say aaa brother."

"Aaa~."Erik opened his mouth and eat the it.

He then also fed Erika with a spoon.

They playfully fed each other bites, savoring not just the flavors but the moments of togetherness.

With their appetites satisfied, Erika and Erik found themselves drawn to a vintage bookstore nearby. The cozy ambiance enveloped them as they perused shelves filled with literary treasures. Erik picked out a classic adventure novel, imagining the stories they would create together. Erika, on the other hand, found a collection of love poems.

As the sun began to set, casting a warm golden glow over the town, Erika and Erik knew their shopping date was coming to an end.

"Let's go home Erika."

"Yes brother."

They walked hand in hand, their bags filled with tokens of their day.

As they were going Erik suddenly brought his face towards her and kissed her on the lips.

Erika accepted the kiss and kissed him back.

And like that their date ended.
