"Wise, if it's possible, I'd like to go see Grandpa..."
Wise was taken aback for a moment. Odette was asking for his permission. Aurelia, beside her, was doing the same. The sisters really wanted to see their only relative, but they were afraid that doing so would cause trouble for Wise, which was why they were asking.
Wise, of course, agreed without hesitation. As for whether they would be recognized by anyone if he took them out directly? There was no need to worry about that. Not only had the sisters been out of the public eye for several years, but the new skill he had just acquired was perfect for handling this.
[Fully Conquered Target: Stygian Nymph Twins]
[Don't Even Let Ethereals Go (S): You gain a personal space similar to a Hollow, allowing you to freely store or release Ethereals that have been tamed.]
(Note: Because it is a Hollow environment with extremely high aether concentration, Ethereals that enter will recover quickly.)
It seemed that because the sisters were essentially one entity, he could only get one skill. Wise could accept this. For example, when he had made a move on one of the sisters before, the other had felt it as well.
"Belle, we're heading out then."
Wise and Ellen then left the video store. The Nymph sisters were temporarily placed in his personal Hollow. Their outfits were simply too eye-catching, and they couldn't use their aether energy to change into other clothes. So, they would have to buy some later. After all, Belle's clothes probably wouldn't fit the sisters well, a conclusion Wise had reached after taking their measurements himself.
Not long after the two left the video store, Ellen proactively took his hand, but on the surface, she pretended as if nothing was happening. Wise, seeing this, couldn't help but smile. We've already progressed to that stage, yet she still feels shy just from holding hands? What a cute little shark.
He just wondered what Ellen would do if she knew there were two spectators watching this very scene.
"Sister, is this what they call a date?" Odette asked with great interest, watching the intimate scene between Wise and Ellen. That's right, this space allowed one to see outside, a fact Wise only learned after the sisters started talking.
Hearing her younger sister's words, Aurelia nodded with some uncertainty. "I suppose so?" After all, Ellen doesn't know we're watching.
"The feeling of a date... I've never experienced it. Sister, should we ask Wise to go on a date with us another day?" Odette asked, looking at Aurelia beside her.
The latter, however, shook her head and explained, "I don't think it's necessary. In my memory, the ultimate goal of a date is also for the kind of thing that happened last night. Instead of doing so many troublesome things, it's better to just skip to the final step."
Hearing her sister's logical reasoning, Odette was at a loss for words. That seems to make sense. After all, she only wanted to go on a date because she found it new and interesting. But the newest, most interesting, and most enjoyable thing right now...
Mhm, I'll listen to sister. After we get tired of doing this, then we can consider whether to experience dating.
Meanwhile, in the real world, Wise and Ellen had already arrived near the address Fairy had found. Just then, the sisters' gazes suddenly sharpened. Seeing the familiar scenery on the screen, their minds felt a little stimulated, as if they were recalling something.
"Go left. I think I remember it's to the left."
Wise observed the sisters' condition and followed their guidance. A short while later, they arrived in front of a house. According to the address and what the sisters said, this should be their destination.
Wise went up and rang the doorbell. The doorbell looked a bit old but was wiped clean. After pressing it, a long time passed with no response. It seemed the old man was still out working to pay off his debts. This was a bit troublesome. Left with no choice, the two could only wait outside the door.
Fortunately, they were lucky. The sisters' grandfather returned a short while later. Aurelia and Odette, inside the space, looked at the weathered face of their grandfather on the screen, feeling both guilty and heartbroken.
"Ah, who are you? What do you want with an old man like me? If it's to collect a debt, didn't I just pay a few days ago?" Grandpa Rode didn't remember ever seeing Wise and Ellen, so he subconsciously assumed they were debt collectors sent by the agency.
His words made the sisters inside the space pause. Pay a debt? What debt?
"No, you've misunderstood, Grandpa Rode. We are friends of Aurelia and Odette." Wise quickly spoke up, trying to dispel the old man's suspicions.
Rode was puzzled and wary. He didn't remember his two granddaughters having friends like these. Besides, why come now, several years after his granddaughters had disappeared? Although he thought this, Rode still opened the door and invited Wise and Ellen inside. But to his confusion, only Wise entered. Ellen remained standing at the door and closed it behind him.
"What are you..."
Before Rode could finish, Wise released the sisters, who were already激动難耐 (jīdòng nánnài - unbearably excited) and eager to come out.
Seeing this, Rode froze on the spot. He looked at his two granddaughters in disbelief, his mouth agape, unable to make a sound, his body trembling. He wanted to go forward, but he was afraid that this was just a dream, that it would shatter upon contact. So he didn't dare to move, just wanting to look at his two granddaughters a little longer.
"Grandpa!" x2
The sisters called out in unison, tears welling in their eyes as they stepped forward. Just this single call, and the feeling of his granddaughters' hands supporting him, let Rode know that this was not a dream, but reality! Only Rode himself knew how happy and excited he was at this moment. His granddaughters had returned safely. This was a scene he had dreamed of for countless days and nights, and now it had truly come true.
Wise quietly watched this scene from the side. It wasn't until the three had calmed down a bit that Rode finally came over to him. "Wise, your name is Wise, right? Thank you for saving my two granddaughters." Rode thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
"You're welcome, Grandpa. Because Aurelia and Odette deserved to be saved." Wise said, looking at the two sisters. They met his gaze, and their faces instantly turned red as they lowered their heads.
At his age and having experienced so much, how could Rode not see what was going on?
