A Hentai System in the World of Danmachi.

Chapter 135 – Is Ais following me?

I continued looking at Luan with my usual expression, trying to deceive him. I can't let him discover I've been watching him! 

He'll probably think I'm a stalker.

And I am not a stalker!

"What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here. How have you been?" I said in a monotone voice. But I can tell Luan is suspicious.

Please don't say I'm lying.

"I didn't expect to meet you here either. Are you heading to the dungeon?" Luan glanced at the sword on my waist.

"I'm waiting for Tiona and Tione. We're going to the dungeon today."

"And Bete?"

"He's not been feeling well for a while now. I don't know what's wrong with him."

"Feeling unwell? Hmm…" Luan seemed curious. "Bete's a tough guy; I can't imagine him getting sick. Are you sure he's not just making an excuse to avoid the dungeon?"

"No, Bete's not that kind of person. I saw him today... he doesn't look well at all. He has a high fever and can barely walk. The goddess said she would take care of him."

"Loki?"

"Yes. She said she would look after him, and that he'd recover soon… But I'm not sure I believe it." I saw him this morning, and he seems to be getting worse. Honestly, I'm starting to worry about him.

"He's really that bad?" Luan looked surprised. "Now I'm starting to worry about him too. I think I should go see him." Hearing Luan's words made me feel extremely happy.

He cares about me and my friends.

But I also felt worried.

Bete doesn't like Luan at all. He hates him for some reason.

If I remember correctly, they haven't spoken to each other before, so it doesn't make sense for Bete to hate him. Whenever we mention Luan around him, he gets upset. I wonder if something happened between the two of them.

"Luan, did something happen between you and Bete?"

"Me and him? No, we haven't even had a conversation. I've come across him a few times, but we haven't spoken."

"I see."

"Why do you ask?"

"It's nothing."

"Hmmm… Suspicious. Does that guy hate me or something?"

"What makes you think that?"

"Well, I just showed up out of nowhere and became friends with his companions. I'm sure he doesn't trust me at all. That's also one reason I want to see him. I want to talk to him."

"Bete's not that petty."

"Oh, believe me, he can be pretty petty. I know him, even though I haven't spoken to him. Once he doesn't trust someone, it's hard to change his mind."

"..."

Luan has a point. Bete can be rough and hot-tempered, but he cares about us deeply. Maybe he doesn't trust Luan, and that's why he dislikes him. But has Luan done anything suspicious?

"But don't worry; I'll win his trust," Luan said confidently.

Seeing his confident smile, I finally courageously asked him something.

"Luan, can I know where you live?"

When he heard my question, Luan froze. He's completely shocked!

What? Was that a weird question?

On second thought, isn't it awkward to ask someone where they live so suddenly? It sounds like I want to know where they live so I can stalk or something. I need to explain myself!

"Don't get the wrong idea. I only asked because I was curious. A few days ago, I wanted to invite you to join us in the dungeon, but we didn't know where you live. I want to know for situations like that."

"You don't have to explain so much. Hahaha." Luan began to laugh, and I felt my face heating up.

"If you want, I can take you there." Luan started walking. "Come on."

"What? Now?"

"Yes, let's go."

"But I'm waiting for Tiona and Tione."

"We'll be back soon; it's not far from here."

I swallowed as I looked at Luan's back.

'I didn't think he'd suggest this… But I can't miss this opportunity!'

"All right, but we can't take too long," I said, walking alongside him.

Luan looked at me and smiled. My heart started racing, and my face grew warm. I tried not to blush too much and cleared my throat. "Let's go faster," I said, keeping my serious expression intact.

*Luan's POV*

I walked with Ais until we reached the entrance of the mansion. When she saw it from the outside, she was surprised by how large the building was. She imagined the mansion I bought would be small.

What would she think if I told her I got it cheaply?

"It's very beautiful."

"It's bigger than it looks. The interior is even more beautiful. Would you like to take a look?"

"No, that's not necessary. I just wanted to know where you live so I can contact you if I need to."

"Come on, I'll show you the inside."

"…" Ais stared at me for a few seconds, and her cheeks suddenly turned pink. "All right, but I can't stay long…" I smiled at her and led her inside.

As we entered the mansion, the goddess welcomed us.

"Luan, did you already returned? Oh?" When Hestia saw Ais, she was pretty surprised. Of course, Hestia knows Ais very well. Ais is a well-known woman.

Someone who will become even stronger and more well-known in the future.

"I didn't expect to see you here. I think your name is Ais?"

"Sorry to bother you with my visit, Goddess Hestia."

"No need to worry, I'm just a bit surprised. I didn't expect you to be friends with Luan. You two are just friends, right?"

"What do you mean by that? Of course, we're just friends." When Ais heard my words, her body trembled slightly. I couldn't help but smile at her reaction. She's bothered by being called just a friend.

Winning her over will be easier than I thought. The [Charming Aura] skill is like a cheat. Things would have been much more complicated if I didn't have it.

Speaking of which, it's been a while since it leveled up.
