Supreme Husband System! & Supreme Wife System!

Chapter 168: Sunset

”Well, Nemo, are you going to try it now?” asked Idan, turning to Nemo, who was deep in thought at that moment.

”I need time...” Nemo replied, making it clear that he was in no hurry and was not going to immediately fight the Guardian.

”Okay, then letʼs set up camp nearby? I hope this is allowed?” — Arabel asked, glancing at Geminia, but Geminia remained silent.

Meanwhile, evening was approaching, and the sun was already starting to set.

Not far from the barrier and away from the road, in a clearing, the group set up camp.

By this time, Eulalia had regained consciousness, but since she woke up, she had remained silent.

Esma recovered faster than anyone else, and her mood returned to its normal state.

Sierra would need much more time to recover, so she immediately retired to rest, realizing that they were relatively safe in this clearing and there was no need to guard the camp.

Nemo, saying that he needed to be alone and think about a strategy against the Guardian, went to his tent with Izzy and the little animal.

The others decided to make a fire and have a snack.

Idan, Arabel, and Eulalia stared in surprise at their Doppelgangers, who couldnʼt find a place for themselves. It was obvious that they were eager to meet their ancestor, but because of the barrier and the rules, they could not do so and therefore could not calm down.

Tired of their anxiety, Idan and Arabel withdrew their Doppelgangers inside their Stars to let them calm down and rest. However, Eulaliaʼs doppelganger was left alone, overcome with anxiety.

Eulalia called her Doppelganger over and asked her to take the form of a cute animal. Then she picked her up and hugged her tightly, stroking her from time to time. This calmed both her and the Doppelganger down a bit.

Esma, looking at Eulalia, pouted resentfully. She also wanted to have a pet as cute as hers. She needed to relieve stress too.

By the time they built a campfire and finished dinner, the sun had already begun to sink below the horizon, turning the sky golden and creating a stunning sunset view.

Arabel moved over and sat next to Idan, watching the sunset. Idan was a little surprised, but deep down he felt joy and moved closer to her.

”Dan, have you thought about what youʼre going to do when we get back? Do you have any new ideas?” Arabel asked through a mental connection. The closer the possibility of their return got, the more nervous she became.

”Not really, — Idan replied. After thinking for a while, he added, ”I still stick to the idea of not revealing my true identity and creating another one. And also stay away from our families. Iʼm sure both my family and yours are under close surveillance.”

”Yeah, — Arabel agreed.

”When we return, we will need to assess the situation and find out what happened to the world during our absence. Then we have to find a place to stay...” said Idan, looking at Arabel. She noticed his gaze and looked up too.

”Any ideas?” asked Arabel, slightly embarrassed and looking away. She understood that even after returning, they would have to live together and that it was necessary to find a suitable place for this.

”I havenʼt thought about it yet...” replied Idan quickly. ”Letʼs discuss everything when we get back. We donʼt know how things are there, so we will act on the situation.”

”Okay, — Arabel said, snuggling up to Idan and resting her head on his shoulder, enjoying the sunset.

At that moment, Idan froze, but his heart was racing.

Arabel, realizing what she had just done, hesitated. However, pulling herself together, she did not pull away, but, on the contrary, clung to Idan even more. Perhaps the thought that they would be able to return to their own world soon made her a little nervous, and she sought comfort next to Idan.

Arabel didnʼt understand why, but the warmth radiating from Idanʼs body had a strange effect on her, bringing comfort.

At that moment, Idan was acutely aware of the slight coolness emanating from Arabelʼs body. She didnʼt make him uncomfortable, but on the contrary, she calmed him down. Under the influence of this feeling, Idan relaxed and snuggled closer to Arabel. Both of them, caught up in this atmosphere, were enjoying the sunset.

At that moment, Esma, who was looking at Eulalia with envy, noticed the couple and pursed her lips resentfully.

”Where? Where is the one who will calm me down?” she asked mentally, looking at the peaceful couple.

While Esma was looking at the couple with resentment, she suddenly heard a click.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Esma saw a strange picture in front of her. A small gray fox was sitting there, holding a mysterious object in its paws, which made this sound. There was a small but unusual bag on the fox cubʼs back.

Esma was completely perplexed, but then the object in the fox cubʼs paws clicked again, and a small square resembling a piece of paper appeared above it.

The fox cub quickly grabbed the leaf and put the mysterious object in her bag, which she took off her back.

All this time, Esma watched in complete amazement, unable to utter a word. She paid attention to the couple and Eulalia and noticed that none of them were paying any attention to her and the fox cub.

Esma frowned, but before she could ask any questions, the fox cub came up to her in small leaps and handed her a photo, as if wanting to show her something.

When Esma saw what the fox cub was holding, her eyes widened in surprise. It was a piece of paper with her portrait on it.

Esma wanted to take the photo and examine it more closely, but the fox cub immediately put it away.

Esma frowned again and, intending to take the paper away by force, the fox cub tilted her head. Esmaʼs Soul Force passed through the fox cub without encountering any resistance.

Surprised, Esma tried to use her Soul Power again, but she couldnʼt detect anything unusual, as if there was no one around. However, her eyes told her that the fox cub was sitting right in front of her.

The fox cub unhurriedly took out a piece of paper from her backpack and began to write something. When she was done, she handed the paper to Esme.

Esma picked up the paper and read:

*Photo sharing, sweets!

Sweets from the Mistress and the Master!*

”Mistress and Master?” Esma asked the fox cub, and without hesitation, she pointed her paw at Idan and Arabel, who were enjoying the sunset at that moment.

”Do you want to exchange this ”photo” for sweets? And they have them?” Esma asked, and the fox cub nodded his head vigorously.

Esma frowned.

”Why donʼt you ask them yourself?” she asked.

But the little fox just shook her head negatively, making it clear that she couldnʼt.

Esma sighed. This little beast was not only unusual, but it also seemed to be the coupleʼs pet, which could not but surprise.

”How the hell am I supposed to get sweets from them?” muttered Esma, and in response, the fox cub handed her two new pieces of paper, which she called ”photos.”

Taking them and looking at them, Esma smiled, finally understanding what the little fox wanted from her.
