"*Sigh...*"
Breathing out a weary sigh, he takes steps toward the grand entrance of the vast lobby of the Lobi As family's mansion.
"If I had accepted their favor this time, it would've been a real disaster..."
Feeling like he barely escaped the clutches of malice, he lets out a sigh of relief and eases the tension that had suddenly built up.
He takes a moment to catch his breath, recalling the near-disaster that just occurred. Having overcome all challenges and barely receiving permission for the adventure, he hoped everything would end warmly and he could return to his daily life when...
"I wish to see my grandchild soon since you two are destined to marry anyway."
Out of nowhere, Mirina's bombshell statement surprised him, and Erina, having heard it, looked at him suspiciously, seemingly plotting a benevolent crime against him.
"How about staying at our mansion tonight?!"
It sounded like a kidnapper sweet-talking a child, promising a comfortable stay and urging him to stay just for one night. But there's a limit to audacity, and her intentions were crystal clear, yet she boldly made the suggestion.
"Haha... I think that might be a bit difficult..."
Feeling no need to explain further, he politely declines her generous offer and prepares to leave the room when...
"Why? Our family's mansion has great facilities, you know? It will surely be the best night!"
It seemed like she was trying to force him to stay, regardless of his refusal.
"No, thank you!"
With no other option, he decided to forcefully push through, leaping toward the exit at full speed before she could lay a hand on him. It felt as if he was desperately escaping from a room with a bomb. Just as Erina was about to vanish from his sight, he caught a brief but definite glimpse of her.
"Ah..."
She looked disappointed, as if her plan had gone awry. Yet, there was a firm determination in her eyes that showed her resolve to fulfill her wishes no matter what.
Chills!
Recalling the atmosphere around Erina at that moment gave him goosebumps, despite the warm weather.
Fortunately, now that he had escaped, there was no sign of her pursuing him. He cautiously looked back, but the front door remained still.
"*Whew...*"
Although he couldn't be entirely sure, he felt relatively safe, so he began to relax and finally started moving.
With every step, a sense of liberation washed over him, making him want to burst into song and dance with joy. The weight of his steps lightened, and the corners of his mouth rose.
"Come to think of it, I should go see Eleona, shouldn't I?"
However, the thought of facing the next challenge dampened his spirits. Having introduced Erina to Eleona, his ex-girlfriend, and then asking for marriage approval would surely be seen as audacious by Eleona.
"How should I face her?"
No matter how hard he thought, he didn't want to face Eleona, but it was inevitable. So, he thought of taking this opportunity to sort things out.
"Well, I have to go anyway..."
His once-light steps became heavy again, but he forced himself to move forward, exiting the main gate. The bustling streets greeted him, and the hustle and bustle felt oddly peaceful.
