Supreme Husband System! & Supreme Wife System!

Chapter 159: Before the ”Reset”

Idan and Arabel couldnʼt help but be interested and decided to ask Nemo where he got this photo from.

”Kitty gave it to me,” Nemo replied, this time using a mental link with the couple himself.

”Kitty?” asked Arabel, puzzled.

”Has someone already given the fox cub a name?” thought Idan and Arabel at the same time.

”Oh this… Well, this is my little legendary doppelganger, whom I signed a contract with thanks to you. I gave her the name Kitty,” Nemo explained, remembering that he had not shared this information with the couple or even with Eulalia.

”Ah... Thatʼs how it is,” realizing who Nemo was talking about, Idan and Arabel were even more surprised to learn that the fox cub had made contact not with Nemo, but with a small beast.

”Where did she get this?” asked Idan, showing interest.

”Well, she did it herself, turning into something amazing...” replied Nemo, watching the coupleʼs reaction in surprise. He noticed their unusual behavior and obvious interest in the object he was holding in his hands.

”Did she do it herself?” — Arabel didnʼt believe it, looking at Nemo in surprise.

”Aha,” Nemo nodded, confirming his words.

Idan and Arabel exchanged glances, unable to believe what they had just heard.

”Where is she now?” asked Idan.

”Kitty!” called Nemo, mentally summoning his little pet. In response to his call, Kitty quickly ran out of the room occupied by Nemo.

When she reached it, she crouched down and jumped onto Nemoʼs right shoulder with amazing agility. When she was comfortable, she looked at Nemo questioningly, as if asking why he had called her.

”Can you find out how she learned to do this?” Arabel asked, pointing to the photo in Nemoʼs hands. Now Idan and Arabel believed Nemoʼs words when they saw who was captured in this photo. It showed Nemo himself, sitting and seemingly lost in thought.

The couple immediately noticed the difference between this photo and the one taken by the fox cub. Each photo of the fox cub was executed with high professionalism, while Kittyʼs photo, to put it mildly, did not make such an impression: it was too simple and slightly darkened.

Thanks to the contract and mental connection, Nemo could easily communicate with a small animal that liked to take the form of a small kitten.

”Kitty says a master taught her that, — Nemo said after questioning Kitty.

”Ma... master?” the couple was surprised. It took them a moment to figure out who Kitty meant—Geminia or the fox cub.

The more they thought about it, the more convinced they became that Kitty was most likely talking about a fox cub. The realization made them curse at the little scoundrel who hadnʼt appeared all this time, fearing the two of them.

And even while hiding, she dared to take a small beast as her disciple?

She looked so small herself, and yet she decided to become a master?

On the one hand, it looked a little absurd and comical, but on the other hand, it bothered the couple a little. What else was this little scoundrel up to behind their backs? And how do they find a common language with her?

”Nemo, ask her where this little fox is now?” asked Idan, and Nemo was surprised to hear this.

Following Idanʼs instructions, Nemo asked Kitty a question and immediately received an answer.

”Kitty says that her master forbade her to tell where she is, especially to you two,” Nemo conveyed Kittyʼs words. It was only later that he realized that Idan and Arabel were familiar with the so-called master Kitty, the one who taught her how to transform into this amazing creature.

Since becoming the champion of this pair, Nemo was increasingly surprised by the System that these two possessed, and was somewhat glad that he became their champion.

”That scoundrel, — Arabel couldnʼt help but curse, but there was a smile on her face as she said those words.

After taking another look at the photo in Nemoʼs hands and praising Kitty a little, the couple decided to relax.

At this time, in the void, a little fox cub was watching them intently, slowly chewing the candy in her mouth.

Watching the couple, the fox cub puzzled over how to appear in front of them without provoking their anger and exposing herself to revenge from the Masters.

She sighed softly, looking at the remaining candies. Time passed, and she couldnʼt hide for long. The candies were running out, and she couldnʼt go without them for long.

After watching the couple for a while longer, the fox cub pulled out a photo album with photos that had grown a little larger during this time. She wondered what to do.

Finally, she decided to try to appear in front of the Mistress and try to exchange with her a few more photos with the Master or the one where the Mistress is taking a sauna.

The fox cub came to this conclusion because she had failed her Master, and because of her act, the Mistress took away the photos exchanged for sweets from him. She saw it for herself and understood that the Master was angry with her.

So she decided to try her luck with the Mistress first.

But not today.

She still had candys, and by saving them, she could last until morning. And only the next day, after giving her Mistress some time to recover, the little fox decided to show herself in front of her.

***

And now the day of the next ”Reset” has come.

Finally, everyone was able to rest and recuperate for a new trip to the Forest of Doppelgangers in the hope that after the Reset there would be a Temple.

No one had tried to contact them all day, which allowed everyone not only physically but also mentally to prepare for new challenges.

By the time of the Reset, a lot of people had gathered in the Adventurer Guild building of the first city, as usual. However, the atmosphere was slightly different this time.

There were many more Platinum-ranked beings among the audience, and even a few Diamond-ranked ones. But the most notable was the Fire Dragon, the leader of the outsiders in the second city of Limbo, and his retinue of Platinum—ranked beings.
