CHAPTER 27 – Invitation.

A guy with mesmerizing black hair and haunting red eyes, along with his heavenly look, sat together with two beautiful girls on either side and a cute pup in his hands. Even though the girls' looks weren't comparable with the guy they were with, they had their own charms.

A redhead with red eyes was the perfect definition of a proud woman with power and looks.

The other girl had black hair and blue gem-like watery eyes; just a look at her would be enough to tell that she was a kind girl, and her small stature with cute looks would make anyone want to protect her, though the people who knew her would know better than to believe in her looks.

The last one was a cute little pup with black fur and blue eyes. She was rubbing her head on the guy's stomach, and it seemed like she was enjoying it.

They were Alex, Alice, Ann, and the pup that Alex had picked up. Alex had just finished explaining some things about the bloodline and its importance to the girls.

He kept patting their heads from time to time while also giving some attention to the little pup since he knew it would take some time for them to digest these pieces of information.

...….......

"When are you going to name her?" Alice asked, passing a pie that Ann had bought to Alex.

"Hmm, I just couldn't get the right name for her."

Alex spoke and went into deep thought again, thinking about a name.

He had thought of many names, and almost all of them were good, but just as he tried to give her that name, he would feel that it should not be given to her or that it belonged to someone else.

"There's no rush; you can take your time. I thought that you forgot to name her, and that's why I asked the question."

Alice spoke as she also patted the pup, who was in Alex's lap and wagging its tail happily.

Ann looked at Alex, who was still in deep thought, when she suddenly remembered something.

"Alex, didn't you say you had something to say to us?" It was not just Alice; Alex had decided to invite Ann to live with him as well, so he had already texted her to make some time for him.

"Right. What was it, Alex?" Alice had completely forgotten that she had promised Alex to do whatever she could do to make up for her blunder, but then she blushed as her words implied that she would even do...

"Oh, yeah, about that." Alex broke out of his thoughts when he heard their words.

"I wanted to invite the two of you to live with me." Alex continued with a harmless smile.

"Eh?"x2.

The girls were dumbfounded; if someone could see inside their heads, then they would definitely notice sparks there.

They started thinking of the scenes together with Alex inside the house: them eating together, them watching together, them sleeping together, them bathing together, them doing naughty things, and all.

"I-IT'S TOO EARLY!!!"x2.

Both of them exclaimed with a hard blush; it looked like their faces were painted red, and if we were to put it in an anime adaptation, then a large amount of smoke would be coming out of their heads.

"Hey, hey, calm down, calm down."

Alex went to them and patted their heads while also using water healing to calm them down, as he really felt that they were going to blast.

It didn't take much time for them to calm down since Alex was using water heal on them, but they still kept their heads down.

"That house is too big for me to live alone, and if we live together, there is a chance that the assassins will stop coming inside the house every night."

Alex said with an exasperated sigh that even though the reason for inviting Alice and Ann was not this, he needed to give them a nice reason or else they would be too embarrassed to even accept his offer.

"You were attacked?" Alice asked with a serious voice, while Ann also held a serious expression. Their embarrassment is nowhere to be seen right now.

"I was, yes. But do you think just some assassins can harm me?" Alex asked with a confident smile, which reminded the girls that Alex was not someone who could be defeated by mere assassins.

"It's just annoying dealing with them every night."

Alex spoke again with mock frustration, though the girls felt that he was really frustrated; however, it was the contribution of the incubus bloodline that made his act seem so real.

The girls nodded and started thinking about it deeply.

"Why do you think they would stop attacking if we moved in?" Ann asked this with a thoughtful look.

"People don't know about my powers, so they try to test me by sending assassins after me, but if Alice were to live with me, then they would probably stop as there is no need to doubt her powers," Alex presented his point.

"Then what about Ann?" Alice asked, and before Alex could reply, Ann spoke.

"Scandals…" Ann spoke absentmindedly, seemingly still in her thoughts.

"You know me the best, Ann."

Alex just smiled at Ann, but Ann broke out of her thoughts and blushed while recalling his compliment.

Alex could see Alice's expression was about to turn into a sulking expression, so he continued.

"Even if I would love to be called Alice's boyfriend, I don't want to be in a hurry, but the enemies would try to use it to their advantage by treating it as a scandal."

Alice blushed when she heard the first line; she was so absorbed in the first line that she didn't even listen to the second one, but Ann nodded her head.

"So, let me ask you again. Would you two let me have the honor to live with you two beautiful girls?" Alex asked in a gentlemanly manner, with his legs together, back bending a little and both of his arms forwards towards the girls who were a blushing mess.

The girls took a second or two, then looked at each other, smiled, and then nodded.

"Yes."x2.

Both of them spoke together, accepting his hand.

...........

"How do you like the breakfast?" Alex who was wearing an apron over his dark black full-sleeve shirt and black ankle-length pants asked the girls who were eating the food in a manner that could never be called lady-like.

"Amaaiinnngg!!" Alice spoke with a pancake stuffed in her mouth.

She was wearing a red-fitting full-body dress and a short black skirt over it, the dress was her raiding suit as it was made using a ground dragon scale and troll blood, both were hunted by her guild.

The dress had silver borders that made it look more attractive; it was one of the three full-body armors ever made.

It's perfect for Alice as it covers Alice's only weakness, which is strength and defense, because of the dragon scales, and it also provides a healing effect for her.

Ann just gave a thumbs up to Alex, she didn't even look up and continued eating her pancake.

She was wearing her regular secretary dress, the black suit with a light pink shirt and black pants, she also had her hair tied in a bun like always, while she wore black shoes on her legs.

They had already done the shifting yesterday after everything was said and done, and there were no assassin attacks yesterday, just as Alex had said.

As for Frank, well, he has yet to wake up, or it would be that he doesn't want to wake up, as Nick had explained to them. Alex and Alice decided that if he didn't wake up today as well, Alex would command him to wake up.

After the breakfast was done, they would first go and check up on Frank or take care of Frank according to the situation, and then Alex and Alice would clear an A-rank gate that had already been mined and looted.
