Why buy one when I could get two? In the end, I bought both houses, attaching a teleporter. Patricia was in her heyday when I paid the money, and from what I heard, she got a promotion.
Setting up my new house, I decided to et with my neighbours. I brought Reina to greet the new people living next to us.
"Shouldn't we get presents as a greeting?"
"Do we? Everyone here is rich. I doubt they need anything."
None of us lived in a community full of wealthy people. Reina had her place to herself, with no neighbours to greet. And with her previous persona, I doubt she would greet anyone with care.
"How about pastries? Edible food is always sothing people could appreciate."
There was nothing wrong with what Reina had said. We had a change of plans. Instead of greeting our neighbours imdiately, we went to a small town's sweets shop.
"What should we buy? There are many to choose from."
Taste varies for different people. It was hard to choose which one I should buy as they all have different tastes.
"I have that covered."
"It's great that you ca with ."
Reina was a reliable person in general. Her ability to see further into the future helped her pick gifts for our new neighbours. Reina hand-picked every treat that we needed, and I paid for all the costs. As expected from a high-cost place, everything here was expensive.
Reina's expression brightened upon hearing what I said. After finishing shopping for our gifts, we t our neighbours.
"May I help you? Madam Su is currently out."
"I'm Charles, and this is Reina. We're Madam Su's new neighbours. This is a gift we were going to present. If you would be so kind, please let them know that we brought her a gift."
The security guard nodded and took our gifts. Since our first neighbour wasn't here, rushing in was unnecessary. Each mansion had five hundred owners; I would only et the first hundred. The next house we went to had no guards. We waited for a minute until a person opened the door.
"Is there sothing you need?"
The person opening the door didn't look pleased that we had knocked. It was a human that had horns. Most likely, a humanoid dragon. He had long green hair and he had erald-coloured eyes. Soone charming if it wasn't for the frown.
"Hello. I'm Charles, and this is Reina. We recently bought a house here and would like to introduce ourselves. We're from house number three and here to give a gift."
Reina held the candies and gave them to the man before us. The humanoid dragon had accepted our gift and rubbed the back of his head.
"House number three... I'm Lorenzo, house number twenty-five. I would like to talk, but waking up for a month straight isn't appealing to at the mont."
The reason he was dissatisfied was his lack of sleep. Without wasting any more ti, we left him to his own devices.
"He seems important."
"That's what we were here for. Having connections with soone like him could be useful one day."
"I know. But I didn't think you would be the type to do this."
I don't mind sucking up to people in a higher position. But if they treat like shit, they can't complain when I overthrow them. Until their usefulness is gone, I don't mind if I discard them. Know whos? Maybe I could get attached to them.
Enough with those thoughts. For the subsequent few visits, we weren't so lucky. Most of them were either away from ho or didn't want to have ti to see us.
"Hey, Reina. Do you know where we should go for good reception?"
"There will be a few, but sadly, I don't know everything."
That was disappointing to hear. Reina could see that on my face but had no words to say. Eventually, we went to a house where we got to have contact with the house owner.
"Hello? Is there anything I could do for you?"
I was surprised to see soone so welcoming. The person who opened the door was a female angel with blond hair. If I hadn't seen won this attractive every day, I might have ended up staring.
"I'm Charles, and beside is my companion Reina."
Reina blushed slightly when I said, companion. As for the woman who entered the door, she smiled, looking at Reina.
"We're your new neighbours. We brought in gifts for everyone near."
Seeing Reina hold the gift and hand it to the angel was a funny sight to see. She accepted our gift with ease and thanked us for our generosity.
"It would be rude if I hadn't introduced myself. I'm Skylar, the owner of this property. Charles, Reina, why don't you co in for a bit? It would be nice to get to know you both better."
I looked at Reina, asking if she wanted to go in. We weren't in a rush to do anything of the sort. Reina glanced back at and nodded.
With Reina's decision, we decided to enter Skylar's house. Skylar's house had a warm atmosphere despite its ample space. Arriving in the living room, we sat on a sofa, making ourselves comfortable.
"Do you want sothing to drink? My artifact can bring them if you like."
Instead of maids, I should get them. Back on Earth, technology, such as robots, has advanced in many ways.
Compared to the rest of the world. I was pretty old-fashioned. I didn't have a maid kink or anything, but I was interested in seeing what they could do. Now that I had a taste of that, I could get a robot that could do anything for .
"I'm not thirsty at the mont."
"It's the sa with ."
We were both new to Celestial. While none of us doubted Skylar's ability to poison the drinks, we had no idea what they would taste like. I didn't want to throw her drink away after a sip.
"I see... How about it? Are you both married? You seem pretty young. Marrying at such an age ans you must love each other a lot."
Skylar had gotten excited while speaking her thoughts. She was asking both of us that question but had managed to overwhelm us.
"We aren't married, but she is my fiancee."
"Then when is your wedding? I love to see it when it happens."
"It should be sowhere within a year."
My answer ca as a surprise to Reina. While I wasn't in a hurry to marry, I didn't want Reina and her parents to bug on the daily.
Even if we did marry, I doubt much would change. I will still live my life how I like, which could be the sa as Reina.
"Oh? Was that supposed to be a secret? Sorry if you felt pressured to answer."
"I was going to tell her at one point. There's no harm in telling now."
All this ti, Reina stayed quiet and thought about what I had said. What I said ca as a surprise. She must not have expected this, even with her power to see the future.
"What an adorable creature she is. I can see that you both love each other. Sotis I wish I could find soone for ."
"If you search hard enough, I'm sure you can find soone for you."
"Oh my. What kind words. I can see why your lover likes you so much. Not only are you well off, but you can easily offer kind words."
For so reason, her words sounded like she was trying to seduce . Reina was still unresponsive to my words.
"Mistress. An important business needs to be attended to. Please make your way as soon as possible."
A voice had spoken. Looking at where it ca from, it was a robot talking. It notified Skylar that she needed to attend to so important business.
"It's a sha, I would like to talk more, but I have to be sowhere. It was a nice ti talking to you both. I will give you a tip. Don't visit house number two, the person there doesn't like visitors."
"It was also lovely chatting with you. I hope your business goes well. Reina, we're leaving."
I held Reina's hands and headed out the door. After saying goodbye to Skylar, we left the house. It was nice to know that there was soone easy to talk to.
"Reina. Should we head back? You look out of it."
Reina had taken critical damage to her head with my proposal. There was no rush in eting all our neighbours.
Returning to our house, I left Reina in her room. I wonder how long it will take for Reina to recover. She should be fine in a day or so.
Now that Reina is gone, should I take soone to walk around the streets?
