Luck had said he would be back at noon, so everyone assumed that he would come through the main door like a normal person, so they sat in the living room and waited for Luck to arrive.
"Where is he? How dare he keep us waiting like this?" said Nikolai, getting impatient as time passed.
"Calm down, Guildmaster Luck will be here soon..." Horace tried to calm Nikolai.
"Luck is a man of his word, if he says he'll be here, he'll be here."
"Yes, boss, he keeps his word..." When Velma spoke approvingly of Horace, the others nodded in agreement.
Screech!
When they heard the terrified scream coming from the upper floor of the house, they all stood up at once!
"Thief! There's a burglar! Help!" a woman's voice was heard from upstairs.
"What thief dares to break into my house in my neighbourhood!" Nikolai rose up in a rage!
Senna and Elsa were also shocked at the possibility that a thief might have broken into their house.
"Are you trying to rob my father's house? Do you have a death wish?
Horace, who was thinking of a possibility, did not know what to say and leaned forward with his head in his hands.
'please don't be what I think...'
"I've got him!" the voice of the woman who had just shouted from upstairs was heard again.
Nikolai grabbed his gun and prepared to run upstairs, but when he heard his servant catch the thief, he sat back in his chair.
"Bring him here!" The killing intent could be heard in his voice.
Soon the sound of someone's heavy footsteps echoed down the stairs and the servant, carrying an unconscious man on her shoulder, began to descend.
Horace recognised the clothes of the man on the maid's shoulder at a glance.
"Oh no..."
Velma was surprised by Horace's reaction, "What can't be?"
Horace bowed his head and shook his head without answering.
When the servant came in front of Nikolai, he threw the thief he carried on his shoulder face down on the floor.
"Let's see who this thief is" Nikolay turned the man lying face down on the floor with the tip of his foot and the face of the man with a black eye was revealed.
Senna: 「(°ヘ°)
Elsa: (⊙_☉)
Liam: (⊙.☉)7
Devi: (・・・.)ゞ
Can: ( -_・)?
Velma: (C_C)
It was none other than Luck who was caught as a thief.
The other day, when he left Senna in a dazed state and went out of the room where he had disappeared, he was suddenly confronted by one of the servants.
Knowing that there was no one upstairs, the maid screamed in fear when she saw an unfamiliar person coming out of the room and reflexively punched him.
Since even Nikolay's servants were starfighters with 2-star power, Luck was punched and knocked unconscious before he could even fight back and was then lowered downstairs on the servant's shoulder.
Senna put her hands to her mouth in astonishment and said "Oh my God, it's Luck!
Nikolay : (º_º)
"Is the man you call Luck the burglar who broke into my house?"
...
When Luck woke up, a group of people were looking at him.
Luck: (?_?)
Luck, who couldn't remember where he was for a moment, was stunned.
Luck: Where am I? What is this place? Why are these people looking at me?
Seeing that Luck woke up, Velma ran and squatted next to the bed where Luck was lying.
"Boss, you all right? Are you in pain? How are you feeling?"
Behind Velma, Devi, Can and Liam, who were worried, came to Luck.
"Boss, how are you?"
"Boss, does your eye hurt?
"Boss, have you become a thief because you spent all your money?"
Luck: (⊙︿⊙)
Luck, unable to understand who was saying what because everyone was talking at the same time, sat up in confusion "Theft, what theft? Who is a thief!"
Nikolai thought Luck was playing innocent and said, "You, of course! How dare you break into my house!"
"Father! Watch your mouth!"
"Yes, Dad! Luck is not a thief!"
Nikolai, who was annoyed that both his daughters opposed him for the same man, but enjoyed being called father in public, did not know what to say.
"But he broke into my house!"
Luck tried to follow the conversation, trying to understand what was happening.
Did I break into someone's house? When?
Horace cleared his throat, hoping to put an end to the confusion on Luck's face and the verbal sparring between Nikolai and his daughters, "Ahem... Mr Nikolai, I don't think Luck broke into your house."
Nikolay raised an eyebrow in mockery "What do you mean he didn't sneak into my house? Did he enter the house through the front door and we didn't know about it, or did he just teleport into the room?"
Horace nodded approvingly "he could have teleported... I've seen it appear out of nowhere in the town of Victory many times."
Senna nodded thoughtfully "It could be..."
Nikolai denied, "Impossible! How can someone who has barely reached 1 star power teleport!"
"It's not impossible, father, it could be an artefact, or someone supporting him..."
Here the series of misunderstandings began again.
Horace nodded excitedly, "That's what I think! It revealed food and clothes that had never been seen before... Do you know what I mean?"
Glancing at each other for a moment, Nikola, Horace, Senna and Elsa nodded as if to show that they had come to a common conclusion.
It certainly must be so! If he doesn't have an artefact, he has the support of a star mage with 9 or 10-star power!
Luck: ( ͝סּ ʖ͡סּ)
Luck, who didn't understand what they were talking about among themselves, was listening to them with a blank stare.
I don't know what you mean! What do you mean? What artefact! Somebody explain it to me!
...
After exchanging meaningful glances, everyone took their seats.
Nikolay, who still had doubts in his mind, said, "So you're that Luck my daughters talk about."
"Yes, I am Luck, but who are your daughters?"
Raising his eyebrows, Nikolay said, "Who my daughters are is none of your business! Don't even think of approaching them! Tell me if you have any magical artefacts on you!"
Luck: ◑.◑
You told me about your daughters! Who the hell are they? Why are they talking about me?
Confused, Luck said, "Magical artefact? What magical artefact are you talking about!"
Noticing Luck's serious expression, Nikolai secretly spread his star power around and tried to sense the star power of a possible magical artefact on Luck, but he couldn't sense star power from anything on Luck.
There was now only one realistic possibility of Luck's teleportation.
'Or is there really... a powerful individual supporting him?' thought Nikolai.
...
While Nikolay was in his thoughts, the servant who approached Luck with a pill in his hand said, "Sir, please drink this pill."
Luck looked at the servant whose face was familiar to him and the pill he handed him and said, "What is this pill? Why should I drink this pill?"
The servant looked down in shame, not knowing what to say.
How could she tell him that her face was bruised from punching him?
