Aizel was strolling through the market when he noticed a man wearing a black hood trying to signal him to co in his direction.
Aizel shifted his gaze back and forth to see if the man was calling to him or soone else. He went there to et him after observing he was calling to him.
"Hey Aizel, it's , David. I wanted to give you your reward before I left the town." He said this while taking Aizel to a small alley behind a herb shop.
"Are you going sowhere?" Aizel asked.
"Yes, I am going to the east side to et my fiancée, so I wanted to give all the guys the rewards I promised before I left the town.
"Here, take this; this is what you have earned." David gave him the storage ring, which was black in color, clearly, by looking at its shine, Aizel can guess this must be a higher grade than the current one he is wearing.
Aizel put the ring on his right hand's middle finger and sent a little mana to inspect what he had received as his reward. What he saw sent shivers down his spine.
"Y...You why are you giving all this? I can't take that much. I wasn't the only one who helped you." Aizel said he wanted to return the ring he had just received.
"Just take it; not only have I provided everything for the families of the mages and hunters who died in the raid, but also for every mber of your group too.
"You might think that you didn't do this alone or that you don't deserve it that much, but let tell you one thing, Aizel: You saved my life while no one else cared for it. I am here, standing in one piece, and going to et my fiance just because of you."
"Well, I think it's not like that; I an, your family should have saved you, and they also care for you; you have a mage like Thomas guarding you all the ti and a sister who cares for you.
The thing is that your sister requested that I do everything in my power to make sure that you co ho alive." Aizel said while trying to cheer up David.
After hearing about his family and sister, David chuckled a little.
"There's always more to a story, Aizel, and Thomas has inford that you are taking care of so orphan kids; this will help you and the kids in the long run too.
"So please keep it and be safe and careful. I hope we can et again soday." David said this and then left Aizel standing alone in the alley.
"Man, I thought he was so stupid noble, but surely he has a good heart. Well, I should also head back to my apartnt; it's been days since I haven't returned.
"There is a lot I want to ask Alora." He sighed and went back in the direction of his house on the outskirts.
When Aizel arrived ho in the evening, he noticed that his children were reading the sa book that Leah had gifted them.
Even Emma, who was always the first to notice Aizel and hug him, was so engrossed that she didn't notice Aizel's return.
"Guys, I am back. Are you hungry?" Aizel announced his return as the kids who were so engrossed finally noticed him.
"Yes"
"I am hungry. Make so at, Aizel."
"No at; that vegetable salad you made once for us, please."
"No veggies, they are gross."
While Emma was riding on the back of Aizel, the kids began bickering among themselves about what food they wanted to eat.
"Relax guys, I will make both," Aizel spoke while the kids cheered in unison.
Aizel went into the kitchen and made at and salad for the children.
When the food arrived, the kids quickly put down their books and ate until they were full.
"Now you all go to your rooms; if you want to read the book, you can read it there, but sleep early, okay?" The kids nodded as they quickly grabbed their books.
"I am tired, so I will be going to sleep in my room. Goodnight everyone." Aizel bid everyone goodbye and went to his room.
He sat on his bed, closed his eyes, thought about his apartnt, and then, "puff," just like magic, he was back at his apartnt.
The first thing he did was check on Alora.
He discovered so more pizza boxes, so empty Pepsi cans, a K-drama on TV, and a loli on the sofa.
"So you're back, huh? I was getting tired of staying in the apartnt all day; let's go sowhere." Alora said while Aizel shook his head in rejection.
"No, I am tired. I would like to spend so ti alone in my room," he replied.
"Y..you, how dare you to reject , fucker?" Alora was shocked by his rejection.
"I haven't slept well, and I am dead tired, and I have no interest in entertaining you when you don't even answer properly about the things I asked."
"What you want to know," Alora said while tapping her foot in frustration. This guy was definitely doing this on purpose, she thought.
"Where you wanna go?" Aizel asked instead.
"I want to try that shawarma and so ice cream," Alora replied while trying to act normal, but she couldn't hide her excitent when it ca to food.
Aizel chuckled after seeing that and replied, "Let take a quick bath, and then we will go."
Aizel went to take a nice hot bath, filled the tub with hot water, dropped so bubble soap in it, went inside, closed his eyes, and went for a nice nap.
"Now this is heaven," Aizel said while enjoying his bath.
After 15 minutes, Alora burst through the door, an angry expression on her face.
"How much ti are you going to waste like this? Hurry up and dress; I'm hungry."
"Woah woah...girl, this is not the way to break into soone's bathroom; a man needs his space," Aizel said while quickly placing more bubbles towards his nether region.
"Why are you so embarrassed?" I have no desire to see your ant."
"What did you say?" Suddenly, Aizel stood up from the bathtub furiously.
His entire body was on display as Alora examined him from head to toe and then the area where an ant should be present.
She never expected to be surprised in this world, but she was dead wrong.
