Supreme Husband System! & Supreme Wife System!

"Hmm... until we unlock the system completely, right?" Arabel blushed as she asked. "Until we..."

"Yes, until we officially become husband and wife," Idan confirmed.

Idan could clearly hear Arabel's heartbeat speeding up, and as he sat behind her, he noticed how red her ears were.

"Belle, you..." he began, but Arabel interrupted him before he could finish.

"You already know my answer, Dan, why ask if you already know my answer?" she said quickly.

Hearing these words, Idan smiled and hugged her even tighter.

They both knew for a long time where everything was going and how it should end.

They have already completed the first task in the chain of tasks required to fully unlock the System.

It may seem that they are in too much of a hurry. After all, it's only been a little less than three months since they met and became connected by the System.

But these short three months seemed very long to them, comparable to the almost two years they had missed while in Limbo.

They've both been through a lot of things. We fought side by side. We studied together. They saw each other almost every day and learned something new about each other every day.

Their first bloodlines played a significant role in their relationship. The bloodlines had an effect on their feelings, pulling them towards each other. This, of course, created many difficulties, but at the same time it helped them to get closer.

"As soon as we finish with the current task and come back, I will definitely use the certificate for the Candlelit Dinner from the Supreme Chef System," Idan thought.

Then he remembered the snow-white earrings in the shape of ice crystals with a mysterious blue stone, which he bought during a walk through the city of Rumbus as a gift for Arabel. He still hadn't managed to give them to her.

"That will be a reason to hand them over during "Candlelit dinner,"" Idan nodded, taking notes.

"What are you thinking about?" — Arabel asked, noticing Idan's long silence, and settled comfortably into his arms, enjoying his warmth.

"About a lot," Idan said mysteriously, then, hugging her, he slightly raised his arms, bringing them closer to Arabel's chest, and she immediately noticed it.

"What are you doing?" She exclaimed, grabbing Idan's hands and pulling them down.

"Ahahaha," Idan laughed sheepishly.

Arabel blushed and breathed heavily, and then, turning to Idan, said:

"Don't do that anymore."

"And why?" asked Idan with a slight sadness in his voice.

"It's just… Let's wait until..." Arabel began to stutter.

"Wait until what?" asked Idan.

"Weddings!" blurted Arabel. "Let's wait until we're officially husband and wife."

"So please refrain from such actions, otherwise..." Arabel's voice became quieter with each word.

"Or what?" asked Idan.

"Because I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself," Arabel confessed, like the squeak of a mosquito, and then covered her face with her palms.

At that moment, Arabel remembered the copies of herself that she had seen during the awakenings of her Spirit form, and the words they had spoken. These memories only increased her embarrassment.

She was no longer a child, and sooner or later everything was going to happen, but she wanted to keep her purity and wait until she and Idan officially became a family.

Although Arabel grew up in a wealthy family where marriages were often arranged rather than out of love, she read many novels and fairy tales. She had her own girlish dream that she thought would never come true.

However, when she met with Idan and awakened the System, she had a chance to free herself from the power of her family and fulfill this, as it seemed to her, a long-forgotten dream.

That is why she reacted so strongly to Idan's bold actions: she immediately stopped them and asked him not to tempt her, fearing that she would not be able to restrain herself and succumb to temptation.

"Okay, okay," Idan agreed with a smile, finding Arabel's actions charming.

"Let's focus on completing the second chain of tasks after we solve the current one," he suggested.

"Hmm," Arabel grunted, calming down a little, and continued: "Unlike you, I don't have a very good relationship with both parents, so I'll have to try to get their blessing."

"Hehe, — Idan laughed ironically at Arabel's response. "Tell me, Belle, did the System ask you to introduce me to your parents and then receive their blessings?"

"Well, yes," Arabel nodded.

"You know, the System, like you, asked me to introduce you to my mother and..." — after a short pause, Idan said with some uncertainty: "with my father."

Arabel didn't immediately notice the strangeness in his words. However, after thinking for a while, she frowned.

"Wait a minute!" she exclaimed. "Didn't your father die?"

"Well, how can I say that… Before the System issued this second chain task, I was sure that he had died that day. But now… I'm not sure," admitted Idan.

"The fact is that neither I, nor my sister, nor my mother witnessed the death of my father," Idan began his story about what he knew about the death of his father. "We learned about his death from friends who saw him die."

"After the catastrophe, we searched for my father's body for a long time to bury him with honors. But no matter how much we searched, we couldn't find his remains. In the end, we gave up and admitted that he was dead."

Then Idan shared his doubts:

"Now I'm wondering: if my father survived, then why didn't he return to the family or at least make himself known? Had he lost his memory, like Nemo? Or perhaps he was so traumatized that he decided not to burden us with his presence? Or did he just take advantage of the moment and decide to free himself from family ties?"

"Because of this task from the System, I have a lot of questions about my father," Idan continued to share with Arabel, with thoughts that haunted him after receiving the second task.

"What if my father is really dead, and the System requires me to find a way to communicate with him, introduce him to you, and receive his blessing?" Idan couldn't help but make an absurd suggestion that he thought might well exist in a modern world full of diverse Systems.

Idan was sure that there must be at least one mysterious System related to the world of the dead, such as a Necromancer System or something similar.

"Isn't that too much?" — even Arabel found this option too absurd.

"But besides these two options, I have another idea that I've been leaning towards more lately than the first two," Idan said, wondering if he should share it with Arabel now or first make sure it wasn't a figment of his imagination.

Arabel paused, waiting for him to say more.

"What if the man I've always considered my father isn't really my own father?"—Idan nevertheless decided to voice this thought in order to hear Arabel's opinion on this matter.
