Leaving the suite

'What's this [Attract]?' He wondered, as he knew what the other innate abilities were as he had gained them after making love with woman of those occupations; [Blood Manipulation] was an ability he gained for making love to the assassin before his death, it was also the ability he had used that ability to boost his physical abilities when he lunged himself to save the child and it was also the reason his body was dyed crimson at death.

'Well, aren't I overpowered~'

As for the [Memorized Abilities], he could tell that they were the abilities engraved in his consciousness from having 'experienced' the lives of billions, from Trivia's perspective.

'Quasi means imitation, so I presume that I can only imitate divinity as I'm not a god?' Osier wondered whether he obtained [Quasi-Divinity] instead of [Divinity] itself from Trivia because he was still a mortal, but Iria spoke, halting him in his train of thoughts.

"Hm? Did you say anything?"

"Hm?"

"I just heard you mumble something that starts with 'sh'…."

"Oh that? I just cursed, 'Shit', noticing that that goblin guard bastard has lead us to the costliest suite, instead of a vacant room, as I asked him to."

"Oh, I have money, so don't worry."

"Well, aren't you a rich young lady~"

At those words of his, she strangely turned silent as she caressed his forearms which were wrapped around her waist.

"Turn on the heated water for m-" He mumbled, but his words were cut short by Iria, "Hey" She called out.

"What it is?"

"..."

Noticing her silence, he rested his chin on her shoulder, and "What's wrong?" He asked.

"Do you want to come live in the Stidolphe household?"

"….."

"I-I'm not s-saying this because I underestimate your ability to earn money and hold your ground, but I'm saying this so that you can stay with me, relax, and be yourself without worrying about money while we attend the academy, because it will be too much of a stress to bear when you are responsible for your own life while you're studyin-"

"Alright"

"Ah? Huh!? Al-alright!?? Oh? Huh? Al-alright…..? Alright…." She mumbled in a daze, not really making any sense.

"I have to mend my relationship with your parents, so that you don't get anymore silly thoughts about wanting to break up with me and similar kinds of shits." Osier said as he looked down at her bright blue lazy eyes which gazed at up him, with a side turned head.

"Hahaha..." Laughing awkwardly, she turned away and began to fidget with a smile on her face.

"Now, if turn on the heated water, so that we can leave early and most probably also lower the cost for the room!"

"Hehehe…." With a soft giggle, Iria turned on the water with her feet as the hot water began fill the bathtub from beneath, without changing the temperature of their seats.

Minutes later, after washing one another, he and Iria walked out of the room, donned in bathrobes before they discussed what to do with the clothes when Iria took out a pair of clothes for Osier and herself from her spatial ring with her cheeks tinted red in embarrassment. Though it was not exactly for the situation they were in, she always carried a clothes for both of them with the possibility of 'what ifs' in her mind.

These actions of hers also only unveiled her love for him, contradicting with her own wishes from yesterday night.

With a teasing smirk, he simply undid his robe and took the clothes matching with her lazy and comfy aesthetic and wore them right in front of her. The baggy full sleeved t-shirt was coloured black with funky prints imprinted on them, similar to the grey baggy he soon wore.

She too quickly donned herself in the clothes she had brought for herself, twinning with Osier, before stuffing their clothes in her spatial ring.

With her thumb on the back of her left ear, and her pinky in front of her lips, "Butler Lee, please bring a Lane's Targa to the bar's outlet, I and Osi will take it to Stidolphe household." She commanded.

"Oh, I want you to take care of the suite costs too" She said and hung up the call before she turned to face Osier, who stood with his hand extended out for her to take.

She held his hand and crossed her fingers with his as they walked out of the suite and down the lift, before they arrived at the reception and casually walked towards the man donning a butler suit, as soon as they arrived he rushed towards them and bowed his head at the couple.

"Young lady, everything has been taken care off, I'll lead you to the car." He politely reported to Iria as Osier walked towards Butler Lee and stood in front of him as the latter gradually looked up at Osier after Iria asked him to stay at ease.

"Old man Lee…." Osier muttered with a smile.

"Boy, did you remember this old man only now?" Old man Lee or Butler Lee asked with a subtle tremor in his tone, as he was only reminded of times when Osier Glaziere looked at him with a frown and anger whenever he came with Iria to speak to the boy he had seen grow up, but seeing the kind of smile he had only seen in Osier before his family was framed and ruined, Lee couldn't control his burst emotions even though he was called out to be a cold hearted demon in the Stidolphe household.

"Sorry, old man…." Osier said and walked towards him with his arms opened wide, inviting Lee for a hug.

With a warm bear hug, Osier took the car keys from Lee's hands and walked towards the exit with Iria's hand in his.

Though it was brief exchange, to Old man Lee, it held immense warmth that made him feel as if he finally reunited with his lost grandson, hence he didn't stop the tear that threatened to trickle out.
