The sun's rays brush his face.
Alex awoke to the heat and left his room to take a morning shower.
Erica is in the kitchen, preparing their breakfast.
She had already cleaned and washed the garments.
In recent days, their mornings have been similar to those of a husband and wife living together… almost…
Alex is still thinking about how things went yesterday.
…
Yesterday.
"A helper?"
"Yes, she's my helper."
She paid him another visit today, as he had expected.
Erica Hambell immediately initiated the topic regarding Erica Leadale.
It's difficult to tell their names because they have the same name, so Alex and Erica decided to alter her name to Rica.
( A/N: Erica Hambell is Erica and Erica Leadale is Rica or Rika.)
Alex describes their meeting and how he saved her from almost death.
He tries to be as vague as possible because he cannot explain how he knows she will die.
When it comes to his system, he wouldn't tell anyone unless they had the same system status as Rica.
In other words, Rica is the one person he can trust with his system.
It took her some time to believe their story, but in the end, she realized everything made sense.
"You are safe today. However, from now on, I will also reside here."
"What?!!"
Alex and Rica yell simultaneously.
"Is anything wrong?"
Erica lifts her brows.
"No, there is no trouble. You are welcome here."
Alex couldn't keep his smile any longer.
Although he is 15 years old and Rica is 17, they have already done things on the bed and plan to do it again, but now that she is here, their time together will be limited.
Rica considers killing her, but Alex intervenes instantly.
No matter what happens, she is his aunt, his family, and he will not allow her hurt her since they are both important to him.
Also, there's another reason why she doesn't have to be her enemy.

If they fight her, there is no possibility of winning.
Welp, he doesn't have any plans to fight her, so he isn't concerned.
…
Going back to the present.
The three of them are enjoying breakfast.
Erica looks at the two, as if trying to smell something over them.
Erica, as an investigator, has plenty of experience sniffing odd things.
However, she did not use her intelligence or knowledge because it was her nephew's life.
The only thing she could do was listen and offer him counsel.
Just don't let her talk about love; she might punch him.
Also, she chose to reside here in order to observe them.
She will leave after a few days or weeks since she needs to do her job.
That's her initial plan.
…
Arriving at the bank, he is on his way to open a bank account.
"Want to open a bank account? Then you may move to door 2."
After an hour of waiting, the receptionist finally called him.
He goes to door 2 and finds a man waiting for him.
They sit and discuss his business.
One of the perks in his starter pack is the infinite bag.
This bag is not an infinite storage bag; rather, it is an unlimited storage bag that contains an infinite amount of the first item you place inside.
On his way through the streets, he placed a gold coin inside.
When the man inquired how many of my coins he would put on his account, he took out his infinite bag and requested for a chest.
The man discovered he was holding a space bag.
Infinite bag and space bag are similar, but not identical.
After all, the reason is quite obvious.
Can a space bag do what an infinite bag can?
No.
Exiting the room, the man returned with five chests.
Alex fills the chest of gold coins.
The man is startled to see that all five boxes have been filled.
That's when he understood he had hit the jackpot.
He quickly gets another five chests, which, like the previous ones, are filled.
He was ready to get another set of chests when he abruptly waved his hand.
They may probe him if he put more money to his account.
Their suspicion will be at the level where he discovered a secret chest room, which is fine.
Well, he opened a bank account since he found it convenient rather than using his infinite bag all the time.
…
After the deal, he did not immediately return home.
"How much does this cost?"
"Oh, for you I can make it a silver"
He is in the bakery and clearly buying pastries.
However, the prior customer overhears his conversation with the elderly lady.
"Hey, why did this child get a silver while I got these with five? We both buy the same product, so why is he so much cheaper?"
"What's the problem if I just sell you the regular price?"
"This is a scam! I am going to summon the guards."
"Yes, of course. Call them and allow yourself to be a prisoner."
"Kuk! I'm never going to buy anything from this bakery."
The previous customer made the decision to back out.
After all, she will be the one sentenced to prison in those situations.
"Thank you very much."
Alex says this as he hands the elder lady a silver coin.
Although not at full potential, this is the source of his Affection Aura.
This aura can instantly make someone trust you, and the affection he receives is determined by his relationship with the other person.
He is already a regular customer at that bakery, and when the Affection Aura strengthens their relationship, the old woman sees Alex as her grandson or anything close to that affection, but his feelings remain unchanged.
…
"I'm home!"
"Welcome home!"
Rica greets him at the door and takes the bags he carries.
"Hey, where's my share"
Alex takes one bag and throws it, which Erica catches.
"I love you, Alex."
She jumped at him.
"Yeah yeah, I love you too so eat your food and stop hugging me."
"Why?"
Erica gives Alex a teasing glance, but he still tries to get away from her.
Two gentle mountains are now brushing his arms.
Feeling the heat, he uses his entire effort and escapes from her.
"I almost done it..."
He considered touching his aunt's mountains to escape, but this was not practical.
Fortunately, he had halted his will.
Right now… he is dealing with an entirely new problem.
