BXBX NOVEL Chapter 167 Trouble After The Mission
Upon hearing Elke\'s words, her parents momentarily looked at each other, trying to understand what was happening.
But when they least expected it, Elke had already disappeared from that place with Lothur, leaving the two with a strange feeling in their beings.
"Did she just tell us to prepare breakfast for him?" Gomeric asked in disbelief.
He had never imagined that his daughter would command him and his wife to serve a man brought into their home by her!
Lothur was her friend, but was not it an exaggeration for her to say that? That was completely different from them inviting him to dinner!
"Sigh..."
"It seems our daughter wants to impress Lothur after being saved by him," Hilda remarked as she thought about how scary it must have been for Elke to be attacked by surprise.
"Oh? So, that\'s it..." Gomeric understood the situation and felt a little less bad about having to take orders from his daughter. "Well, it hasn\'t even dawned properly yet, so it\'s good to let them rest a bit."
"In the meantime, let\'s deal with this matter." He stood up to get out of there but was stopped by one of Hilda\'s hands.
"Gomeric, don\'t you think there is something wrong with Elke? She looked tired..." Hilda asked her husband, remembering the pale appearance of that young redhead.
"Come to think of it; she truly doesn\'t look well." He frowned. "But that must be something from the incident they\'ve been through. So, let\'s let them rest until later to worry about it."
"If you want to call a doctor later, we will do that."
"Sigh..."
"All right."
...
Three hours passed, and the breakfast smell had already reached Elke\'s room.
Lothur and Elke smelled the breakfast fragrance in that nicely decorated place and smiled, looking into each other\'s eyes.
At the same time, they finally stopped hugging each other and felt their bodies disconnecting.
Elke looked at the mess they had made these past few hours and the sweaty young man beside her while she was full of energy, even considering that she had not slept a single minute in the past few hours.
"We have to take a shower, or my parents will find out what we were doing..." She said in a funny tone to him amidst her slightly gasping breath.
"You\'re right..." He stood up and waved one of his hands at her, calling her into the shower.
"You go ahead. I must eliminate this smell from my room, or the maids will say things they shouldn\'t..." She blushed at the mention of that trace left by the mixed bodily fluids of the two of them.
"Hehe, well, I\'ll wait for you in the bathroom..." Lothur smiled as he noted her status before heading to his bath.
[Name: Elke Becker]
[Cultivation: level 3 (weakened)]
[STR: 1.37] [CON: 3.42] [DEX: 2.53] [AGI: 2.7]
\'Elke probably can\'t train her techniques seriously until she can regain her former status.\'
\'But at this pace, she will achieve that after one more treatment session with me.\' He pondered this as he began to wash up, already planning how to handle his girl\'s advancement to level 4.
\'When we get to the academy, I will take care of her one more time and start training her in combat after we take today\'s tests.\'
He then felt two hands coming from behind his body, passing between his arms and squeezing him. "Are you in need of help getting cleaned up?" Elke\'s sweet voice sounded.
"Hmmm..." He nodded before he felt Elke helping him lather himself up.
As one helped the other, he had something on his mind and soon exposed his thoughts to her. "Elke, if I want to come to spend the night with you, is there a way for me to infiltrate this place without drawing the attention of your parents?"
"Uh? You want to come to sleep with me?" She was surprised by this question.
"Well, I want to make sure you get to the 4th transformation by Friday night, so we need an intensive treatment for you..." He turned to her and saw her eyes sparkling.
"I see... Well, it\'s not impossible."
"If you disguise yourself as one of the servants in my residence, I\'m sure you can gain access to my room..." She explained to him some details, planning how to do such a thing.
After talking about it for about 20 minutes, the two finished their shower and got dressed for breakfast with Elke\'s parents.
...
As they sat next to Hilda and Gomeric, Lothur and Elke soon heard what they had discussed earlier.
"Lothur, you don\'t have to worry about your secret. We won\'t tell anyone about it." Elke\'s father commented as he had a cup of tea in one of his hands.
"Hehe, thanks for that, patriarch."
"No, I thank you for taking care of Elke and bringing her back home safely." He looked thoughtfully at Lothur, noticing how relaxed his little girl seemed upon returning home.
Hilda also noticed how Elke\'s appearance had improved and could not help but sigh in relief. \'Apparently, she just needed some rest... I\'m glad it was nothing serious.\'
"Elke, why don\'t you stay home today? I feel you\'re still tired from that trip and need more rest." She suggested.
But Elke promptly refused. "No. Today Lothur and I will start the exams to advance in sectors at the academy. So, I can\'t miss it, or I\'ll fall behind. But, on the other hand, I am well, mom."
"You will see, when I return at the end of the day, there will no longer be any trace of my fatigue on my face!" She smiled at her family, already anticipating the results she would have later...
"Is that so?" Hilda asked as she looked at her daughter, who seemed to be becoming rebellious. "Well, don\'t go trying too hard then."
She then looked at Lothur and thanked him. "Thank you for all you have done for my little girl, Lothur. You don\'t know how important she is to us."
"Hmm, no need to thank me, madam. Elke and I are like family. So, I would do anything for her."
Gomeric and Hilda smiled as they heard that once again, feeling much more natural hearing those words from Lothur on this occasion.
"All right, keep it up. Having that kind of partnership is not bad!" Gomeric laughed. But then he became more serious and said to Lothur. "As for yesterday\'s problem, leave that to us. We will take care of the investigations and subsequent punishments about the previous incident."
"Oh? I\'m glad to hear that."
...
After breakfast, Lothur and Elke made their way to the Morning Star Academy, where it was not long before they were surprised by someone.
"Lothur!" A female scream broke out amidst the crowd of students arriving at that place for the start of classes after the weekend.
Hearing that, they both identified the source of that melodious voice, which at the moment carried a tone of concern and relief.
"Anna..." Lothur saw the pretty face of his sister-in-law, while Elke looked with knitted eyebrows in the direction of the brown-haired woman.
"Lothur, where have you been? Why didn\'t you return home last night?" Annaliese agitatedly asked, feeling her little heart beating strongly in her chest.
She had spent the entire night worrying about him. Not only that, the entire Frost family was already searching for the missing Lothur, fearful about his condition.
"Anna, don\'t be so nervous. I was just a little late..."
Lothur smiled at her and massaged the back of the beauty who had embraced him without hesitation.
"What happened?" She insisted as she looked away and saw her rival.
"It\'s a long story. I\'ll tell you about it later, okay?"
"Sigh!"
"All right, but let me warn you first. Whatever your reason, I\'m afraid you won\'t escape a long talk with my mother."
"She was worried, but when she sees you well, she will put that aside to put pressure on you. She will punish you for your delay." She said in concern of her brother-in-law once again losing control over his rage and feeling more anger at being in the Frost family.
"So, that\'s it..."
She looked into his eyes and said. "Please, ignore whatever my mother tells you."
