Rica is waiting for him when he returns to his home.
"Master, welcome back."
"I'm back, Rica."
Rica was so devoted to him that, on their own time, she would occasionally refer to him as a master.
Despite his warning not to call him like that, she could not stop herself, so he let her do it when they were alone and tried not to slip when they were with his aunt.
Although he came back, he needed to talk with her about what happened to him earlier.
…
"It does not bother me. In fact, I am glad for you."
Rica accepted his decision without hesitation after hearing what had happened to Anna's house and her circumstances.
"Do you not want to say anything or something?"
Alex sees her as his woman, so he will not allow her opinion to be silenced because honesty is the foundation of a relationship, so if she has something to say, he will try to please her.
"Nope, nothing. Aside from that, I want to meet her right away to teach her the joy of serving you; I have no words for your decision."
Although her initial words made him uneasy, he can tell she has no objections to him staying with Anna for a week.
Now for his second problem: how would he tell his aunt?
Rica, as the most devoted person in the world to her master, understands what he was thinking.
"You do not need to worry about your aunt. I will handle the rest."
Overjoyed, he kissed her lips, hugged her, and yelled, "I really, really, really, really, really, love you!"
Heaven.
If there is anything that can describe her current feelings, heaven is insufficient.
She feels like a transcendental being capable of punching through a universe and leaving nothing behind.
Her lips taste the most delectable cuisine she could ever desire.
A life emerged from nothing within her body.
Alex is taken aback by the sight of her body lit up in white light.
His vision went white and he could not see anymore, so he had no choice but to close his eyes until the light went out.
After waiting for the light to subside, Alex noticed Rica emitting an invisible aura.
Observing the aura, he has no idea what is going on with her.
He used his smartphone to take a photo of her for his status app, but…
[Erica Leadale]
[Age: 17]
[Strength: 10]
[Stamina: 10]
[Agility: 15]
[Speed: 15]
[Intelligence: 12]
[Wisdom: 13]
[Current Condition: Normal]
'Her status has not changed since the last time I checked it.'
He thought the light was an animation indicating that she was leveling up, but it appears that this is not the case.
However, he recalls that she is not leveling in a normal manner.
"Can I take a look at your smartphone?"
She gave him her smartphone without saying anything, and his lips curled for a moment because he was correct.
[Devotion: 500 (My Love, My life, My God.)]
[Fist of Devotion: Within three minutes, the host (Rica) will give a damage 50 × to the enemies. Cool down: 25 minutes]
[Link of Fate: The Master can share his skill with his slave. Cool down: 45 minutes]
[Voice of Devotion: Within a minute, it can disrupt one's mind and potentially cause permanent disruption. Cool down: 50 minutes]
"You gain a new skill."
He spoke casually, but deep down he was surprised.
"I see…"
After observing herself, she responds calmly as always.
She did not care about her strength; however, in order to be useful to him, she needed to keep improving herself so that she could stand by his side when he needed it.
Rica smiled after Alex handed her the smartphone, thinking that this skill could be useful in other ways.
She made a plan in her head and decided to carry it out later.
Alex, seeing her grin, had a bad premonition, but as long as she did not hurt anyone, he would be on her side, so he let it go.
After another brief conversation, he packed his clothes and left the house, saying, "See you later."
She simply bowed like a maid and watched him close the door.
…
On the way back to Anna's house, Alex considers what will happen between him and her in a week.
He could not believe how sexy she was in her sleeping outfit, especially since her "personality" was so large for her well-endowed body.
Her usual cold demeanor, particularly her eyes when they are fixed on him, sends shivers down one's spine.
He does not know whether he will be scared or horny.
Unfortunately, he is unaware that her cold demeanor is only an act.
She is being cold to everyone because she does not want to talk and does not know how to communicate normally.
However, she is extremely professional at work.
That is why she is constantly in work mode, trying to get through the day.
However, this only applies to people who are older or around her age.
She feels more at ease in the company of young people but her behavior stays on her work mode.
*knock knock
Alex knocks on the door and waits for Anna to open it.
However, it takes too long, and she still does not open the door.
He excused himself again and opened the door.
For some reason, the door was not locked, so he dashed to her room, but could not see her.
He looked around, but could not find her.
"The bad luck!"
He recalls the debuff on her.
It appears that it will always activate whenever he leaves her side.
"Shit!"
He tries to catch up, but he is unsure which direction he will take.
"Her Smartphone!"
He remembers that a system status smartphone follows its host, so he opens his phone and launches the smartphone tracking app.
The smartphone tracking app tracks users who are in close proximity to the city.
[AF is in the Southern Warehouse.]
[EL is in the Northern Houses.]
[BH is in the Eastern Houses.]
Alex was stunned when he saw the third person in his app, but he put all of his questions aside and focused on rescuing Anna.
