Chapter 208
When Martha pointed to the residence’s front door, Luke knew that Ayumi first wanted to see him alone. Then, when they entered, everyone stayed in the living room, and Luke went upstairs to the second floor to see his beloved again.
Alexis Dmitry and Meredith Scully looked at that jealousy, but there was nothing they could do. They knew very well what they were getting into when the half-wolf told each of them that he was engaged to Ayumi, and they also knew that Ayumi wasn’t their only romantic rival.
When Luke opened the door to the Matriarch’s room, he saw her sitting on her bed of white sheets, with her everyday thin reading glasses on. At her feet were some books and parchments. As she heard the noise of the door, she looked up at the half-wolf, and a wide smile appeared on her face, but it soon turned into an expression of shyness.
” Ow, my god! I haven’t even gotten ready yet! I thought you would take longer. I look awful…” She got out of bed with a single jump, because of her fright at seeing Luke.
It was Ayumi’s lie; she looked gorgeous as always. Her long blonde hair was braided, her eye color was vibrant because of the lamplight on the bedside table, and her white skin was exposed even though she was wearing winter pajamas. Luke took just one step and moved so fast that he could hug her before she could reach her closet.
“You look beautiful as always…” Luke whispered to Ayumi in his arms. He looked her in the eyes with energy.
Ayumi blushed while being surprised at the speed of the half-wolf. “Do you… Do you know how much I’ve really missed you?” she asked, hugging him tightly and resting her head against the man’s rigid chest.
The relationship between the former thief and the Matriarch of the Strogueher wasn’t just carnal, but emotional. With him around, Ayumi felt safe, and with her in his arms, Luke felt he could do anything. Their carnal relationship began on the half-wolf’s first day at the Mansion in Vasconcelos, when she trapped him in the library, but the connection of their souls began to be forged before that, on the first time they looked into each other’s eyes, in Ayumi’s old Mansion.
After the two hugged, they kissed. As soon as the kiss was over, they finished with a little kiss and looked again into each other’s eyes.
Since everyone was in the living room, without communicating, they came to the conclusion that they needed to control their excitement for later.
“We need to talk, but first I want you to meet my friends.”
“All right, let’s go downstairs… I’m anxious to meet the people you’ve commented so much about.” Ayumi spoke with a smile and intertwined the fingers of her left hand with the fingers of Luke’s right hand.
“Wait a second… are you going to go like this to receive the visit? You’re still naughty…” Luke spoke, with an indecent smile on his face.
The blonde Elf looked down and saw that her breasts were practically uncovered because these winter pajamas she was wearing had been shrinking over time. Ayumi covered her breasts with her pajama jacket and spoke:
“Shut up… I’m not going like this.”
The half-wolf’s kiss had made her so shudder that she forgot that the clothes she was wearing weren’t decent at all.
After Ayumi changed her clothes to something more casual, like simple pants and a blouse, they walked down the spiral staircase together holding hands. Everyone in the gang was laughing in the living room with Shiro, but they stopped immediately when the Matriarch appeared in their scope of vision.
To most of the gang, Ayumi Yamazaki Strogueher was still an unapproachable figure, someone of a higher status in society. Her pointed ears, emerald-green eyes, and elegant gait made her stand out from the rest of the people. However, the complicated atmosphere between the gang of former thieves and Ayumi was soon forgotten, because she proved to be someone with a personality totally contrary to what Luke’s friends though, positively surprising even Meredith.
During the dinner prepared by the cooks and Martha, Ayumi showed herself to be interested in each one’s life and not just an arrogant and smug Elf, which was their view of the nobility.
Luke was glad that his friends seemed to like her.
The subject of the gang’s childhood was a recurring topic at the dinner table, and in this way, there was no way that the subject of the fateful robbery of the shed wouldn’t return. However, this was also the last time this subject returned with sadness, since Alexis told once again that she knew a Sarah, with a gentle manner and pink hair. For Matthew, Luke, Shiro, and Meredith, there couldn’t be another person identical in manner and appearance as their childhood friend, so they remained hopeful that maybe they would see her again one day.
“By the way, where is Nathalia?” Luke had to ask after the subject about Sarah was over, since neither Martha nor Ayumi had mentioned her name, and he was missing her presence, which was expected.
“Since she joined the Oukiwa Noble Academy recently, she is working hard to get stronger. I warned her that you would be arriving today, but if she hasn’t returned, she must still be training in the Gym that you trained together…” Ayumi revealed, looking at the S-Class.
“Do you want me to let her know you’re here?” Martha asked while taking Luke’s plate from the table, as the half-wolf had already finished eating and didn’t look like he was going to eat again.
Luke denied with his head. “No need, I’ll go and surprise her myself. Maybe she’ll be happy to see me again after all this time.”
“Don’t be modest, Luke. You know she’ll love it.” Ayumi really cherished Nathalia’s respect for Luke, even though she was a year older than him.
“So, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go visit my Dungeon partner.” Luke stepped away from the dining table, but the rest of the staff continued to chat.
All of the half-wolf’s friends were eager to meet Nathalia, because she was the girl who had accompanied Luke everywhere during the turbulent month in Vasconcelos. Still, they didn’t want to interfere with the reunion.
Luke was still worried about the rumor of monsters in Oukiwa because it could mean that the time in the hospital wasn’t the only time that monsters appeared away from the presence of demons. If some demon really had the power to spawn monsters anywhere, just as Luke suspected when he saw the Shadow Ninjas in the hospital, he needed to keep watchful.
However, this time Luke was unconcerned about leaving his friends alone because, except for Alexis Dmitry, everyone in the gang had learned to fight a little with his guidance and tips over the past two months, and they had also received some Gene Skills as a gift from the half-wolf.
