"All right, let's go and get you guys something to eat," Alex spoke as he saw Ann and Alice busy in their own thoughts.
He could tell that they were excited about their new power, and they wanted to test it out as soon as possible, but....
'Testing their powers can wait.'
However, Alex was still shocked about one thing.
He looked at Alice and nodded inwardly.
[She didn't break her concentration for even a second.]
Sophia commented as if she could tell what was going through Alex's head.
But well, it was not hard for her, after all, she could feel what he was feeling, or more like she had a meter that would show his feelings statistically.
She needed to keep helping Alex maintain his feelings till a certain limit, after all, that was one of her jobs.
The thing she saw right now was pride and happiness as he looked at Alice, so Sophia could tell what he was thinking.
'Well, they always surprise me with something new...'
Alex shrugged with a smile before he started walking downstairs with them.
Alice, who everyone thought wouldn't be able to complete the process without a single mistake, broke everyone's expectations.
She never stopped or did something that could harm the process, so Alex didn't have to do anything other than supply them mana.
However, there was something that no one other than Alice knew.
'I don't want to do this anymore!'
'He did say that it's fine even if I don't get strong.'
'What's the use of getting stronger anyway?'
'Alex will always be there to help me.'
'I can just be a good lover and love him the best I can, I can just devote my life to him.'
Many such thoughts came into her mind again and again while she constructed the mana veins.
Some people would think that this thing is being made a big deal about, but it's Alice's nature we are talking about.
One can't change their nature, but Alice still did the task that required her to go against her nature.
It was like asking a fish to come out of the water.
Alice had made up her mind to stop the process, but the feeling of the hand that was pressed against her back, the feeling of the gentle mana being transferred to her body, the feeling of care and worry from the eyes of Alex who was looking at her.
All of this made it hard for her to quit.
So, although she didn't want to, she still did it, and she was more tha happy when it was finally over.
Oh, and above all, she was hungry.
She wanted to eat food made by Alex.
Alice spoke as she pressed her palm forward, but Alex stopped her.
"Wait a second, love.
Let's hear her out."
Alex spoke as he looked at Luna, and he didn't miss the glint that passed through her eyes when she heard him call Alice, "love".
Ann just face-palmed as she looked at Alice.
'She just gave out Alex without even realizing it.'
Alice, on the other hand, was not even focusing on Luna anymore.
She was again in her dream world.
Every time she heard Alex call her like that, she felt butterflies in her stomach, and she loved that feeling.
"Un."
She nodded her head with a large smile.
"What do you want?"
Alex looked at Luna and asked with interest.
Before when he was helping Alice and Ann break through, he didn't want to strain his mind by having his perception active as well, so he had deactivated it.
'Noctura can take care of anything that might come at us.'
That was his thought.
Noctura was now early SSS rank, which she reached without doing anything other than resting the whole month, and there was no one in this world right now who could face her.
Or maybe there are but they would not come here.
It's not like Alex would just sit there if something really happened.
But when the process was completed, and they were returning back to eat something, Alex noticed Luna's presence with his perception.
Now he was sitting across from Luna and waiting for her answer.
Luna looked at Alex, then she looked at Alice, Ann, and Noctura before she turned back to Alex.
"Is there an extra room in your house?"
Alex, Alice, Ann, and Noctura just looked at Luna in confusion.
'Where did that come from??'
This was the question all of them had in their minds.
