[14th Everdusk 2103], Lucas's Apartment, Dyna Crest country.
The intruder moved toward the bathroom door and waited for Lucas to come out, hiding in the shadows. A few minutes later, Lucas emerged from the bath with nothing but a towel, unaware of the hidden man. Taking advantage of the situation, the intruder leapt toward Lucas with one hand in the air, and the next thing heard was a loud scream.
"Aaaaaahhhhhh~~~~." It was a loud scream coming from the house.
Lucas was on the ground, clutching his back as a hand imprint of red was etched there like someone had slapped it very forcefully.
"Wait, you know me, right? And you also know that I don't do work without any confidence, so why are you angry right now?" He said as he backed away step by while the person slapped him was approaching him.
"I know this detail about you, but still, being this reckless is too much, Lucas. What would have happened to you? Do you know how worried I was?" The person said, who emerged from the shadows, revealing Tess, whose were red from crying or tension.
"But I'm here, right? Aren't I fine as well and also stronger than before? So isn't i.... Ahhhh." Lucas was saying when another punch was shot toward him from her. She was really angry with him as she had made it clear that he wouldn't be raiding the dungeon, but he didn't listen and raided it alone, even while still being an E-rank grade Battlemage, which was essentially a death sentence for a normal person.
But she was shocked to that he not only cleared it but also ranked first in the test, being the first person to complete it and defeating the S-rank class holder Lyre Dawnfield.
"Tess, don't you know me after living with me for those few years, and still your belief in me is shaky?" Lucas said while holding her hands, which were trying to punch him but losing strength as he spoke to her.
"But you know we care for you. Even though Faye may believe you, I, as her friend and your wi... I mean teacher, am still worried about you." She said, her face turning red with shame after calling herself his wife unconsciously.
"Oh, so you mean to say even though your friend still believes in me, you, my wife, don't believe me? Then it's a complicated matter, and I have to resolve it as quickly as possible." He said as he lifted her in a princess carry and started walking toward his room.
"He... hey, what are you doing? I am not your wi-wife, okay, so put me down~~~~~~." She shouted, but no one was coming to help her.
As the gate of the room closed, the sound of her shouting was still audible.
"Lucas, no, we still have to eat lunch, right? So let me go, and we will continue it tonight, please~~~~~" She said, but Lucas didn't stop as his inner lust was brimming, and he proceeded to explore her body in depth.
"Tess, you know me. If I start doing something, then I will not stop until it's finished." He said as he took off her clothes while also removing his shirt.
"Wait, no, I am literally sayi..." Before Tess could say something, Lucas stopped her by sealing her lips his own as the battle between Lucas and Tess started in his room.
The battle lasted for a few hours until both parties were satisfied and out of stamina.
In this battle of domination, the winner may not have been decided, but both parties tried their best. A few times, Tess was the one taking the lead, while at other times, Lucas was the one in control.
Even if the battle ended in a draw, it was something Tess would forget as now the status between them was equal of a class holder while before she was the winner all the time when they did the deed, but that was before the class awakening of his.
As she was also a holder of a
After the battle was over, it was already evening, and both he and Tess were lying on his bed, entangled with each other and still naked, covered with a sheet.
"Hah, Lucas, you really are such a bad boy to force a hopeless girl like me into this every day," she said, resting her head on his chest and looking into his eyes with a teasing smile.
"Oh, where is the hopeless girl you are talking about, Miss Tess? Don't we both know who is stronger right now? You are already a level 58 awakened, while I am still level 15. And you still tell me you were forced? What a blatant lie you are telling me with such a sweet and straight face," he said, giving her a peck on the lips, which she easily accepted, knowing that refusing him now was pointless.
"Okay, but still, I am hungry, and you don't let me make some food to eat. And now I am also feeling soreness in my legs," she replied, as it was true that just after coming home, Lucas jumped at her to do the deed, but she wanted to make some lunch for them first.
However, with Lucas's hurried action, it turned out this way.
"Oh, it's just a small problem. Don't worry and order food from outside. Isn't today a great day to celebrate our happiness together?" he said, and Tess first looked at him and then nodded, finding the idea great and applicable.
"Okay, so let me take some rest until you order the food," she said as she rolled down from his body and went to sleep for some time.
While Lucas, who was still awake as if he hadn't done anything, was sure that this might be the effect of the dragon bloodline.
"Okay, so let me just take another shower until the food arrives," he said after ordering the food from his phone.

Meanwhile, in Evan's room, I was waking up from my sleep and was about to check my phone for the time.
*Grumble* *Grumble* *Grumble*
"Oh, it's already evening, huh? Maybe I was so tired that even now I can still sleep, but sleeping without good food is a waste," I said as I heard my stomach grumbling a lot.
I then stood up while stretching my body, which was stiff until now, and moved toward the bathroom first to wash my face. After my sleepiness was completely gone, I moved toward the kitchen to cook a meal for myself.
"Okay, so let me see~~~," I said while looking at the small fridge in the kitchen to find nothing extraordinary and then thought to order something from outside.
But I then realized that today is not a day for great food and started thinking of the tasty food Aunt Rossy made for me.
But those days are gone now, and I need to do my chores on my own.
"Okay, so if I can't order, then I can at least order ingredients and make something for myself."
Then I opened my phone, which was also an old model, and ordered some eggs, veggies, spices, and sauce for the food.
While I had some noodles with me, I ordered the main ingredient, which cost as much as the others.
The monster meat, which contains mana that helps the awakened class holders or even normal people to get benefits.
I opened the meat section to find many types of meat and then chose the lowest priced ones to see which were still in the tens of thousands of points range.
"I can't even afford a single one, maybe... Wait, there is one and even in the same good quantity," I said while looking at the option of Ragged Ember Bear meat, which was priced at just 560 points for 200 grams. The price was lower today as it was about to go to waste in a few days, and the owner had a large amount, so he was selling it at a discount.
"Good, let me get that meat," I said and quickly ordered the portion, as only thirty-two were left and they were being sold out very quickly.
I then looked at my account to find that I had nearly spent a thousand points just for the ingredient, which I considered good, as the same dish I was making, called Meat Stir-fry Noodles, would cost about 2000 to 3000 points per plate.
And I am getting it for less, just having to make it myself, although the quality of meat is lower. And that's it.
After that, I just waited for the ingredients, which arrived an hour later, and I enjoyed the noodles, which took one-tenth of my savings. But from tomorrow, I am going to make enough money to never have to think about bill while buying.
And that will be my motto for the hunts. (TToTT)
