Chapter 114 What The Hell Are You Thinking?
Laylah pouted, looking a bit annoyed at Hikaru.
He shrugged his shoulders and said: "That's what you said, I didn't say I would send you away."
"Your attitude shows that you don't want me here."
"Hahaha… I welcome you here, it's just…"
"Hm?"
"You need to pay rent."
Laylah heard that and laughed: "Money right now is nothing more than worthless paper, so… are you going to take this?"
She said as she pulled down one shoulder of her shirt, revealing her collarbone, white skin, and an extremely attractive right breast.
"I have a habit of not wearing a bra in the house, do you want me to pull it down a bit more?"
However, Hikaru's gaze at her was filled with disdain and calm.
"Oi! What's with those eyes?"
Hikaru shrugged: "Of course I don't care about you."
Layla: "…"
"Okay, don't mess things up. I've got Velys, I don't want your old body."
"Old?" Laylah felt a bit angry, she slammed her hands on the table, stood up, then walked towards Hikaru.
He felt a little confused when Laylah stood in front of him: "What are you going to do? I said…um…um…"
Laylah suddenly attacked, she grabbed his head then buried it in the center of her chest.
Hikaru felt like he was about to be crushed to death by those two giant mountains, he couldn't breathe, and he tried to push Laylah away.
However, Laylah was stronger than him, she was already very strong, after using the power evolution potion, she was even stronger than before.
Laylah used both of her hands, to clamp Hikaru's head to the softest place in the world.
"Nah! Stop struggling, enjoy it, you said I'm old? I'm proving to you my youth!"
"How is it? Very stimulating, isn't it?"
Hikaru felt that he was about to suffocate, Laylah's two mountains were too big, they seemed to have filled the surrounding space, there was no space for air to sneak in.
After a while, Laylah finally let go, Hikaru sat on the chair panting, he felt as if he had just come back to life.
Laylah saw this and rushed out.
"Laylah?!"
"Ah!!"
As soon as she got out, she jumped when she heard Velys' voice.
"Velys… you…"
Velys tilted her head to look at Laylah, Velys' then said in a worried voice: "Laylah, do you have a fever? Why is your face so red?"
"I… I'm fine, I just feel a little hot."
"Hot? The current temperature is only 20 degrees, I have also used fire to warm the house, and I am always making sure that the temperature in the room is only about 25 degrees."
"Alright! I am going back to my room first." After Laylah said that, he hurriedly left.
However, when Velys saw that Laylah's nightgown was a little disheveled, she realized something.
'Laylah is blushing, her nightgown is a bit wobbly… hm… it seems her relationship with Hikaru is going well.'
Velys smiled and nodded.
Aiko, who stood behind Velys, with freshly washed dishes in her hand, felt confused.
"You… don't you feel uncomfortable?"
Aiko spoke up, Velys turned her head to look at her with a puzzled look.
"I mean… don't you feel jealous of Laylah? Isn't Hikaru your lover? She seems to have feelings for him, won't you stop it?"
Velys then smiled and shook her head: "No, I don't know what you think about it. However, to me, I feel that it's normal for someone as wonderful as Hikaru to be surrounded by many women."
"As long as he has me in his heart. Besides… I feel Laylah is a good woman. She can also help Hikaru with a lot of things."
"Moreover, I can live in harmony with her."
Velys said while laughing, Aiko heard her words and felt like falling into a black hole.
'What the hell did I just hear?'
'Who am I?'
'Where is this?'
'Has the world changed that much?'
'Could it be that... because I work part-time and focus on studying too much, I can't keep up with the development of society?'
Aiko felt like she couldn't believe what she just heard, she took a deep breath and said, "You… aren't you jealous when Hikaru is with another girl?"
"Hm…" Velys tilted her head thoughtfully.
Aiko: "…"
'Does that also require thinking?'
"I don't think so." Velys shook his head and said, "Like I said, as long as there's a place in his heart for me I am contented."
Aiko: "…"
At this point, Aiko could only stay silent, as he did not know what to say because anything she said would be meaningless.
"You… Why are you so forgiving? Don't you love him?" Aiko found it difficult to understand.
If Velys loved Hikaru then she would definitely feel uncomfortable when he was intimate with another girl.
But Velys felt that this was normal, is it that… Velys doesn't love Hikaru at all, or is she just trying to be protected by Hikaru and have a safe place to live?
Velys shook her head: "No! I love him very much, however, I feel that this world has changed, and it is no longer the same as before, so I need to adapt."
"Has the world changed?"
Velys explained: "That's right. In the past, laws and government existed, so monogamy was normal."
"But now, the government has collapsed, the rules are gone. In this world filled with danger and innumerable horrors, whoever possesses power has the ability to make laws."
"To be more precise, this place is no different from a forest, the strong animal will become the lord of that forest."
"Aiko, if you were just a weak rabbit, what would you do? Resist, try to change the world or adapt?"
"I…" Aiko opened her mouth, she wanted to say something but she realized she couldn't refute Velys.
Velys smiled: "Hikaru is a great guy, he's smart, strong, and even has the ability to predict the future."
"Thanks to him, I can live safely and happily in the apocalypse."
"So… can I keep him for myself? The answer is no, I cannot take him, and make him my own."
"If I do that, he'll get even more upset and won't want to be around me anymore."
"Then… I will try to make him feel as comfortable as possible, and make him understand that I wouldn't stress him"
"I will make sure that when he is with me, he feels relaxed."
When Aiko heard this, it made perfect sense to her, to the point that she almost believed Velys' words.
Then, Aiko shook her head, trying to forget what Velys had just said: "I hope you don't regret it."
Velys shook his head: "I have chosen this path, so I will not regret it. No matter what happens in the future, I will still love him."
Velys' smile was bright, plus her blonde hair made her look like a sunflower in full bloom.
"You… you seemed to be an innocent and cheerful girl before, why are you like this now?"
Aiko heard Velys' question and shook her head then sighed: "When you know that your family is dead, and that the person you consider as a parent, as a benefactor is the one who killed your family."
"At that time… will you still feel happy?"
"But at least… now, you have a home."
"Heh?!" Aiko was startled to hear that, she raised her head to look at Velys and it was as if she were seeing a blinding halo.
"Okay do not worry. Even though Hikaru says you're his hostage, you can still move freely inside this mansion, right?"
Aiko nodded.
"You also don't need to face countless dangers outside. In this place, you can live a normal and safe life."
"Although it is a bit boring, you have food to eat, high walls to keep out zombies, and beds and blankets to keep warm."
"Compared to the people outside, you are a hundred times happier than them."
Aiko nodded at that, yes, she was a hundred times happier than the people outside.
After comforting Aiko, Velys returned to the kitchen, she saw Hikaru sitting on a chair with a flushed face, and smiled: "Hikaru… how far have you and Laylah grown?"
"What the hell are you talking about? I almost got suffocated by her." Hikaru said angrily.
Velys immediately sat on his lap, her arms wrapped around his neck as she said: "Don't be angry, Laylah really likes you."
Hikaru shook his head, he asked: "I overheard your entire conversation with Aiko. Why did you say that?"
Velys smiled: "What I said is the truth. Hikaru, I love you, no matter how many women you have, I don't care."
"Besides… don't you want Aiko to be at ease in this place?"
"What do you mean?" Hikaru asked confused.
Velys caressed his face as he said, "Hikaru, Aiko is feeling insecure, she seems to feel like she has nowhere to turn."
"To be more precise, she lacks family affection. So…" Velys suddenly smiled mysteriously: "We just need to let her feel the warmth of a family, and she will definitely become our ally."
"Her only relative who you say is in another world will surely find Aiko. At that time, if Aiko becomes our ally, then that person will also become our ally."
Hikaru smiled when he heard that, he was really surprised at Velys' thoughts.
"Velys, you really surprised me."
Hikaru said while stroking Velys's face, then, Velys offered her fragrant lips, and the two of them started a sweet kiss in the kitchen again.
…
Fifteen minutes later, Hikaru changed his clothes and arrived in front of Laylah's room.
Knock! Knock!
After a while, Laylah opened the door, her face a little angry and annoyed as she looked at him.
"Oi! What is that expression? I'm the one who should be upset!"
"Huh!" Laylah pouted, her eyes filled with contempt.
Hikaru sighed, "Okay, it's time for you to pay the rent."
"Heh?!" Laylah immediately clasped her hands in front of her chest, her face full of surprise: "You… So fast? I… I wasn't ready yet."
Hikaru: "..."
"What the hell are you thinking? I mean we need to go out hunting."
