"Take it," Kratos's voice came from behind.
"Why, Father?" Calliope looked back at Kratos in confusion.
"They are no ordinary people. Since it's a gift for you, just take it," Kratos said again, his eyes fixed on his own Reincarnator panel.
"Is this really okay?" Calliope was still a bit hesitant. After all, gaining a full one hundred thousand reincarnation points all at once was simply too precious.
"It's fine. In the future, when they come to eat, just don't charge them," Kratos said, then walked out of the kitchen.
"What's wrong, Father? Are we closing the shop now?" Calliope looked at Kratos in confusion. Although there weren't many customers, it seemed a bit early compared to their usual time.
"Hmm." Kratos nodded and said: "Get ready, our mission has been moved forward this time. Go call your brother. Although he just returned from the reincarnation world, it's better to have more people for this mission."
"I understand, Father." Calliope nodded. Although he had many doubts in his heart, he didn't ask further, knowing he would find out later.
In the Western-style Mansion, Fujino and the others appeared in the living room.
"We're back~" Illya happily threw herself onto the soft sofa, grabbing a small pillow nearby, showing a very comfortable expression. Little Cang Yue did the same.
"So this is Fujino's home? It has such a unique feel." Arcueid curiously looked around the unique Western-style Mansion. In this era where buildings were mostly sci-fi in style, old and unique buildings like this were truly rare.
Sōjū Kazahana wasn't too curious; she had been here when she took Touko as her master. However, at that time, Fujino was still playing in the stolen star world, and only Touko, Aoko, Alice, and the others were in the mansion.
"Alright, Sōjū Kazahana, you stay here for the night." Fujino turned and said to Sōjū Kazahana.
Sōjū Kazahana didn't speak, just nodded in agreement.
Fujino looked at Arcueid again and said softly: "Arcueid, come with me. I need to go check your room."
After saying that, Fujino looked at Alice and said: "Alice, please take Illya and the others for a bath. I'll take Arcueid to see her room and then join you. Sōjū Kazahana, you go with Alice and the others too."
Seeing Fujino look at her, Sōjū Kazahana was slightly stunned, surprised by Fujino's invitation. However, she was thinking more about whether Fujino was going to make a move on her.
Back when she took Touko as her master, Touko had once said in a joking tone: "Sōjū Kazahana, you're so beautiful, Fujino might make a move on you eventually."
Initially, Sōjū Kazahana had just treated Touko's words as a casual remark, but now she wasn't so sure.
"Okay." After a brief hesitation, Sōjū Kazahana nodded in agreement, feeling a strange sense of anticipation in her heart.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Alice." Fujino smiled slightly at Alice, who responded with a smile of her own: "Fujino, you should hurry too~"
With a peculiar look in her eyes, the smile on Fujino's face grew wider. Alice really understands me.
"Fujino, you have to come quickly!" Illya said to Fujino.
"I know, Illya, so go on ahead." Fujino said, taking Arcueid's hand.
As Fujino and Arcueid left, Alice led the three Little Lolis, Illya, and Sōjū Kazahana toward the bathhouse specially built in the Western-style Mansion.
On the second floor of the Western-style Mansion, under Fujino's renovation, there were many rooms. A nameplate for the room's owner hung on every door.
Fujino led Arcueid into a room where the nameplate was still blank, but the moment Arcueid entered, her name appeared on the blank plate.
"Amazing!" Seeing this, Arcueid couldn't help but gape. Initially, she thought the space inside would be normal and conventional, but she realized she was wrong.
What met her eyes was a vast, open scene. The room was extremely large, no smaller than the living room downstairs, but there was nothing in it.
Seeing the confusion in Arcueid's eyes, Fujino smiled: "This room belongs to you, Arcueid, to create yourself."
"Create... myself?" Arcueid tilted her head in confusion.
"Yes, you have to create it yourself." Seeing Arcueid's cute appearance, Fujino felt an urge to "deal with" her right then and there. Since Illya was born, Fujino hadn't had a taste of meat for a while because Illya was always clinging to her, never leaving her side, and she couldn't do such things in front of Illya.
"Fujino, what's wrong?" Arcueid felt Fujino's gaze was a bit strange and couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing, I just think you're very beautiful, Arcueid." Fujino smiled. It wasn't the time to act yet; she still had to wait.
"Fujino is very beautiful too." Arcueid was very happy with the compliment and showed a charming smile.
"Alright, now hurry up and create your own room, Arcueid." Fujino said quickly, handing the room's permissions over to Arcueid.
Arcueid suddenly had a special feeling, as if she had become an omnipotent god, able to operate, change, and create at will in this blank room.
"Go ahead and try it."
"Hmm."
Arcueid eagerly began her attempt. Following the thoughts in her mind, the blank scene before her instantly changed. The space expanded infinitely according to her thoughts. The white floor turned into a green meadow, and the ceiling turned into a blue sky. A breeze carrying the scent of grass blew past Fujino and Arcueid's faces.
"Incredible!" Arcueid looked excitedly at the world she had created; everything felt so real.
"By the way, Arcueid, do you know what 'wife' means?" Fujino suddenly asked.
Arcueid was stunned, her eyes full of confusion. After a while, she replied: "I don't know."
She could get the answers she wanted from the world, but this time, the world gave her no feedback.
"Do you want to know?" Fujino looked at Arcueid's confused red eyes. Her long hair fluttered in the breeze, and a deep smile played on her lips.
Arcueid nodded.
"Then let me teach you." Fujino walked up to Arcueid, hugged her, and then leaned her body toward her. The two fell onto the soft grass.
"Fujino?" Arcueid looked at Fujino on top of her, feeling something was not quite right.
"Don't speak." Fujino pressed a finger against Arcueid's soft lips, her purple eyes gazing into Arcueid's with an alluring glow.
"Now, let me teach you how to become a proper wife~"
"Okay, Fujino."
Her red eyes became hazy, and a faint blush quietly appeared on Arcueid's face.
