Chapter 48 [Bonus chapter][Bonus chapter- Response to all summoning pens]
As Kan stepped through the doorway into Ellie's house, he couldn't help but take in the surroundings with curious eyes. The place was small and modest, a clear reflection of its inhabitant's circumstances. It lacked the opulence and grandeur of his own home, but there was an undeniable warmth that permeated the air.
The living room was cozily furnished, the walls painted in soothing pastel tones that created an inviting atmosphere. A well-worn couch sat against one wall, adorned with colorful throw pillows that added a touch of vibrancy to the space. A small coffee table stood in front of the couch, upon which lay a few books and a delicate vase of freshly picked wildflowers. The floor was covered with a simple rug, its faded colors contributing to the overall sense of comfort.
Kan's eyes wandered around the room, taking in the various personal touches that made it uniquely Ellie's. A collection of framed photographs was displayed on a shelf, capturing moments frozen in time. Among them was a picture of Ellie, flanked by a man and a woman—undoubtedly her parents. Their smiles radiated genuine happiness, a stark contrast to the challenges Ellie faced in her daily life.
In one corner of the room, a bookshelf held an assortment of books and trinkets. Kan noticed a worn-out sketchbook peeking out from the stack, a testament to Ellie's creative side. The shelves also housed a few mementos and souvenirs, each with its own story to tell.
Ellie's bedroom was connected to the living area, the door slightly ajar. Kan caught a glimpse of a neatly made bed, the covers adorned with a floral pattern that added a touch of elegance. The room was simple yet organized, reflecting Ellie's practical approach to her living space.
As they conversed, Kan's gaze returned to the framed photograph on the wall—the one that showcased Ellie with her parents. He could sense the underlying emotions in her voice as she spoke about the gang's involvement in her life. It was clear that despite her tough exterior, there was vulnerability within her, a deep-rooted connection to her past that shaped her present choices.
"Wow, nice place you got for yourself," Kan complimented sincerely, his gaze drifting back to Ellie as he spoke.
Ellie offered a small smile in return, a mixture of gratitude and resignation in her eyes. "Yeah... It's one of the things the blood wolves helped me out with. It's part of why I can't just ditch the gang."
The room seemed to hold a silent understanding of Ellie's struggles and the weight of her decisions. It was a place that witnessed both her moments of strength and vulnerability, a sanctuary where she navigated a complex world.
"So how long have you been staying alone?" Kan asked, trying to spring a conversation that didn't involve gangs and stuff.
He recognized that the topic sort of made Ellie uncomfortable and with what he had planned, it wasn't a good start.
"It's been quite a long time. I mean, if you are talking about when I started staying alone, that's..without them.." Ellie looked at the framed picture for reference as she swallowed hard before continuing..."then it's since I was like maybe eight..." Ellie said, staring at Kan whose eyes were wide open.
"So that means you joined the blood wolves at that age?!!" Kan asked, completely surprised by this revelation.
"No...before then I was in smaller gangs, you know...street thieves and all...I was already introduced to the streets before I came in contact with the blood wolves who took me in..." Ellie said.
Kan's whole agenda of not talking about gangs seemed to be going down the drain as everything that concerned Ellie led to it somehow.
"That's...I mean...that's really sad. If there's anything you need me to do, don't hesitate to tell me," Kan said.
"Thank you," Ellie said with a mix of sadness and gratitude in her eyes.
[Grab her hands and repeat what you said. Say it like you mean it. Make sure to make her keep her eyes on you when you say it,] Hela whispered to Kan.
Kan proceeded to do as he was told by the system aid, Hela. He moved over to where Ellie sat, grabbed her hands slowly and said to her whilst staring in her eyes. He did this with finesse so as not to come off to brash. As their eyes locked, he stared at her brown lovely eyes which he was seeing up close and said the same words again.
"Ellie, if there's anything you'd like me to do, don't hesitate to ask," Kan said with conviction in his voice.
"Th...thank you..." Ellie stuttered as she couldn't help what she was feeling at that moment. She could sense an intense heat from kan. Like he had made his presence known to her by those words alone. But what was weird was how the words seemed to register more right after he touched her skin.
[Arousal - 50%]
"Kan, do you want to eat something?" Ellie asked, trying to pry her hands away from kan's soft yet tight grip.
She just wanted to get away as that moment, she felt she was slipping away and losing herself. Her rational thinking capability was slipping away fast.
