" I'm sorry.."

" For what?

" For.. getting my father interested in you and troubling you before.."

Entering the huge mansion, Luna apologized to Cade. Her face looked down, but it was not because she felt apologetic.

Rather, it was because she was embarrassed by what her father had said before.

' Stupid father.. me and Cade.. we are not in that kind of relationship.'

Eva, looking from the side, found this new side of her friend pretty interesting.

While she was with her or Aurum, Luna was the cheerful type of girl. Yet, for some reason, whenever she was with Cade, she suddenly turned into this little blushing machine. And therefore, she decided to tease her a bit.

" Hmm? What is it? A drama about father-in-law and son-in-law?"

" We.. We are not like that!!!"

Luna went into full rebuttal mode.

But secretly, her heart thought of entirely something else.

' But for him not to rebuke.. Did he really think about me like that?'

The walk to Luna's room was filled with a weird atmosphere as Eva continuously teased Luna.

Fortunately, after about five minutes, the torture was over, and they finally reached Luna's father's room.

" Father, we are coming!"

Opening the door, Cade and the others were greeted with the scene of Luna's father, along with a few acquaintances of his all of them were important people.

Completely different from before, Luna's father had dropped the quirky personality and now changed into one of the charismatic faces of one of the strongest Arcane card wielders in the world.

" Well, welcome Luna, Cade, and Eva. Now, before everything else, let me introduce you three to these acquaintances of mine."

. . . . . . . .

Later that day -

" Sir.. just who is that kid?"

After Cade left the room, he quickly became a hot topic among the acquaintances of Cade's father.

In front of Cade, they might not show it directly. Yet they were all actually amazed by Cade's skill.

To be able to answer a question that even the best of the Arcane Card researchers could not answer, they felt like talking to someone that had a thousand years' worth of knowledge on their mind, and they could not help but become more interested in Cade.

" Haha.. Haven't I introduced you to him before? He is a classmate of my daughter and also a good friend of hers."

Luna's father laughed. Especially emphasizing the meaning that Cade is Luna's good friend, and they should not think to do anything weird to him.

" But Sir.."

The few guys next to Luna's father in the room still didn't want to give up. After all, Cade was just a special occurrence here.

But just one look from Luna's father was enough to dispel all kinds of bad thoughts from their mind.

" Hmm? Haven't I made it clear? He is a good friend of my lovely daughter."

Luna's father walked to one of the guys here, patting his shoulder.

At this time, the guys who Luna's father had patted trembled.

His knees weakened, and he almost suffocated.

A pressure from Rank (VIII) Arcane Card Wielder was not something that you could easily handle.

It was up to the point that everyone believed that they should not discuss this anymore. Luna's father finally relieved the room of his pressure.

' Well.. Luna. Your father has fulfilled your request. So please cut some slack to this lovely father of yours, okay..'

. . . . . . .

The very next day, after Cade went to Luna's house, he was prepared to fulfill his promise to certain someone.

He was ready to go out when a few notifications popped out from his phone.

He opened his phone and found that it was none other than Luna.

Cade picked up the phone call:

"Hi, sorry for troubling you yesterday. Did you get some good sleep last night?"

"Well, it's okay. And no need to be sorry. After all, I also get the chance to test my Spectre Dullahan's new skills."

"Well, true that..."

The chat continued for a while more. To be honest, Cade didn't feel trouble at all from Luna's father's antics yesterday.

Even in the game, Luna's father did the same thing to the protagonist, and his original aim was actually to let everyone knows that he was backing the protagonist.

' Hmm? Did I just take the protagonist's chance once again.. Well whatever.'

Things had become like this, and there was no use in remorsing things. If it could help him, then Cade should care less about the chances of the protagonist.historical

But at this time, he could hear another voice coming from his mind.

' Humph, why are you seeking protection from another human? Was this Lord Grigory not enough for you? Humph, not like I care, though. You could rely on those weak humans all you wanted.'

" .... "

Since when did this fearsome, mysterious Grigory turn into a tsundere?

Nonetheless, even before Cade could answer. He could hear the sound of his doorbell ringing.

" Coming!!!"

" Eh.. what are you doing, Cade?"

"Uhm.... I'm sorry, Luna. But let's continue our chat next time. I still have something to do here."

" Eh.. wait-"

Before Luna could finish her words, Cade had already closed the phone.

Later, he could only apologize to Luna for this. But now he had no other choice because..

When Cade opened the door, a beautiful mature woman with red hair was already waiting for him.

She was so beautiful that even Ray felt a bit dazed.

" *Cough* Sorry for intruding on your holiday."

" Ahh.. it's okay Ms. Elizabeth.."

Obviously, it was none other than Miss Elizabeth.

Today Cade would finally fulfill his promise with Miss Elizabeth to help her Arcane Card rank-up but before that..

" Elizabeth."

" ??? "

" No, we are not in the university anymore, so you can just call me Elizabeth."

Miss Elizabeth was blushing a bit when she said those words. Cade was almost ten years younger than her, and saying things like this to a teenager like him felt so wrong.

Yet, she just couldn't maintain the same hierarchy as they were no longer in the university.

But completely unknown to her, her blushing face was captured in Cade's memory, and only a single word could come out of his mouth.

' Cute..'
