Supreme Husband System! & Supreme Wife System!

Chapter 35: At the dining table

Going down to the first floor, the couple did not feel in a good mood.

”Oh, youʼve already woken up!” exclaimed Eulalia, meeting them in surprise. Then she quickly turned around and ran to her mentorʼs office to inform her of their awakening, unaware that Milica already knew about it.

Having failed to find the Milica in the office, Eulalia was puzzled. Her mentor usually spends most of her time in her office.

”Well, how did you rest?” came the voice of Milica from the kitchen, from where she appeared.

”Yes,” Arabel replied, and Idan nodded in agreement.

Soon, all four of them sat down at the table and quietly began to have lunch, prepared by the Milica themselves. Milica didnʼt ask any questions, just invited them all to the table.

Eulalia enthusiastically devoured the food, literally beaming with happiness. She rarely had the opportunity to join her mentor for lunch and taste the dishes she prepared personally.

Idan and Arabel were pleasantly surprised. The dishes they tried seemed simple and not so exquisite, but their taste was so delicious that they could barely tear themselves away from them.

”Letʼs get to know each other better. My name is Milica Celestria, and I am a high elf from Magelia,” Milica introduced herself.

”You are already familiar with Eulalia. Sheʼs my student, just like little Nemo,” she continued.

”Although a little late, but better late than never. My name is Idan Fein, and this is Arabel Morgan, my fiancee,” Idan took the initiative. He was already getting used to being her system fiance, while Arabel was still embarrassed when he openly declared her his bride.

”Idan and Arabel, yes. Are these your real names or is that your name in this world?” asked Milica, making it clear to the couple that she already knows that they came from another world. This question, of course, surprised Idan and Arabel.

[Donʼt be surprised, Hosts. She is one of the most powerful beings in the city. The same waves emanate from it as from the consciousness of this world. It is highly likely that she has some kind of connection with this consciousness. Therefore, itʼs no secret to her that youʼre from another world,” the System said, anticipating the coupleʼs question.

”Thatʼs it!” — Idan exclaimed in his mind, realizing this.

”The real ones, — Arabel replied. ”In this world, no one knows us, and we donʼt need to hide.”

”I see,” agreed the Milica.

”Miss Milica, what are your intentions towards us? I donʼt think you just decided to take care of us and even cook dinner for us personally. Especially since you made it clear right away that you know where weʼre from,” Idan asked bluntly, not trying to hide or evade anything.

”Straight to the point, yes. I like this attitude,” Milica said with a smile.

”Before we start, can I see what you look like without a mask?” Milica asked Arabel. She wasnʼt surprised. She just turned her head and looked at Idan, who nodded his agreement.

”How interesting!” whispered Milica, watching their interaction.

After receiving Idanʼs approval, Arabel took off her mask, and her true appearance was revealed to everyone. Milica and Eulalia were amazed. Arabel was even more beautiful than they had expected.

”You look absolutely gorgeous! Why are you hiding such beauty?” Milica praised Arabelʼs beauty.

”Thank you, but compared to me, you are just a goddess of beauty!” Arabel replied, not being modest, and praised the beauty of the high elf. Then she continued:

”This is just a precautionary measure. Although we come from another world, the history of our world has already taught us that beauty without the ability to protect itself can only attract trouble. You are strong, so you donʼt have to hide anything and be careful. As you can see, Iʼm weak.”

”Youʼre very smart. I stopped thinking about such things from your point of view a long time ago. And yes, I agree with you, thatʼs really the way it is in this world.”

Although Milica said these words, she did not specify that one of the reasons for her confidence was her origin — she was an elf. Elves are naturally beautiful, and they donʼt need to hide their beauty. If anyone dares to attack or kidnap them, they will instantly become the enemy of the entire elven race. Therefore, in their world, few people would risk raising a hand against elves with bad intentions.

”Okay, Iʼm satisfied,” said Milica, seeing Arabelʼs true appearance.

”I want to make an agreement with you. From Eulaliaʼs stories, you roughly understand where you are. And Iʼm sure you know thereʼs no way out of here. Knowing that you came from another world, I donʼt think you will give up trying to find a way out. But did you know that if you donʼt leave Limbo after a certain time, outsiders will become part of Limbo?” Milica said, watching the couple closely to see their reaction.

Idan and Arabel already knew, so they werenʼt too surprised. They were surprised only by Milicaʼs first offer of an agreement.

Milica, seeing that the couple didnʼt show much surprise, was also a little startled.

”Did you know about this?” she couldnʼt resist asking.

”Knew about what? That our bodies absorb the energy of this world, and if we donʼt leave it before we fully assimilate, we will become a part of this world ourselves? Yes, we are aware of this. We immediately felt these changes happening to our bodies the very day we got here,” Idan said, mixing truth with lies. In fact, they didnʼt figure it out, but the System did.

”Thatʼs how it is. Thatʼs even better. You can omit a lot,” Milica said with a smile, and her smile grew wider and wider.

For her, the discovery that the couple immediately recognized this feature of Limbo was significant.

”Letʼs get right to the point. Iʼm offering you my help and protection, and in return, I want you to cooperate with me in finding a way out of Limbo. I admit that over the many years we have spent in this place, we, the locals, have not been able to achieve significant success. However, we still havenʼt given up hope. Thanks to my power, not all outsiders have been completely assimilated into Limbo, and they have a chance to leave it if we find a way out.”

All this time, Milica did not take her eyes off the couple.

Idan and Arabel were surprised and delighted to hear this suggestion. They supported the idea of cooperation with both hands. They realized that they were too weak and just the two of them would not be able to find a way out in the allotted time. Moreover, due to the error of the System itself, this period was almost halved.

”Youʼre talking as if we can really find a way out. Why are you so sure?” the couple asked, taking their time to agree. They wanted to hear more details before making a decision.

”Itʼs pretty simple. Iʼm willing to take the risk, mainly because you came from another world. There have been no visitors from other worlds to Limbo yet. I think itʼs fate. If you canʼt find a way out, then I do not know who can do it,” with these words, the Milica stopped abruptly, as if remembering something.

”Although before you appeared, I had high hopes for Nemo,” she suddenly said, mentioning Nemo.

”If you look closely, you look a bit like him. Youʼre almost the same age. I also see that some force has tied your fate together, just like Nemo, who has a connection with three representatives of the higher race at once,” Milica continued with a playful smile.

”I canʼt say exactly what kind of connection unites you, but I can assume that it makes you partners. Thatʼs why Idan claims that you, Arabel, are his fiancee, isnʼt it?” Milicaʼs question hit the nail on the head, and the couple were embarrassed that someone had guessed it so easily.

They began to resent the elfʼs behavior, not understanding how she managed it. She seemed to learn more about them just by looking at them, as if she were reading a book. They had no idea that they were giving her the answers to her questions by their own actions.

Seeing the embarrassment on the coupleʼs faces, Milica laughed, realizing that she had hit the nail on the head.

From the author: It would be great if those who have read this chapter could share their opinions about the current story. What do you like and what donʼt? In addition, I would like to know your opinion about the pace of the narration. Perhaps itʼs worth omitting some details and paying more attention to the pace, speeding it up? Without feedback, itʼs difficult for me to understand what exactly readers like and what doesnʼt.
