Acht could just repeat the words she said like a parrot since he was pretty much shocked beyond words. He had expected Leislet to come to visit him after a period of time since she was Leislet after all.
But, to hear that she literally retired from her work as a president of the hunter association just to come and live with him was just too much to just take.
Such a prestigious position that everyone dreamed of and yearned for was just disposed of simply. Did she go crazy all of a sudden?
Even though Leislet saw the dumbfounded look on the young boy as he stared at her, she just laughed like a small naughty girl that did a small prank.
"Did you like my surprise? Neh, neh." She said as she jumped on the bed and hugged Acht again, throwing him on the mattress and weighing her body on his chest.
"You…." He muttered as he looked at her. She also looked at him, sharing a silent glance between them.
Then, out of nowhere, Acht's face started closing up on her, making the woman bewildered but also happy beyond comprehension.
'Is it time?! No way! Really? I didn't prepare myself! But…But, ok, calm down Leislet, just do it casually and take the lead. I am the mature one after all. Wait, I just woke up so my breath must stink. Does it stink?! I don't know! What should I do?! Aiuggh!! Screw it! Let's go with the flow.'
Then, she closed her eyes and pursed her lips, waiting for the fateful moment.
"You…You fucking idiot!!"
*Bam*
"Ouch!!"
Instead of a romantic kiss, what Leislet received was a punch to her skull. It wasn't a strong punch by any means but it was strong enough to hurt Leislet.
The woman touched her head with both of her hands as she looked up with a small tear in her eye.
"Why did you do that?!"
"You should be thankful that I didn't drop kick you in the face! You stupid!!" Acht was really angry.
It wasn't the fact that Leislet barged into his house without any prior notice that made him feel angry. It was a normal thing for Leislet to do and he was already accustomed to it since the moment he met her.
What made him really angry is the fact that she left her job so recklessly without thinking about it.
"How could you take such a crucial decision on a whim? Did you lose your stupid mind!!" He rebuked her as he stood up with his hands crossed, glaring at the woman in front of him.
"Wha-"
"You shut up when I speak."
"O-Ok," Leislet muttered as she looked down with a sad look.
'Acht is p-pissed.' She thought to herself.
"How could you retire just like that? Did you not think about the consequences? Did you even weigh down the pros and cons of this decision before doing it?" He asked a barrage of questions one after the other without waiting for Leislet to answer any one of these questions.
"I know that you love me and I understand that and I already gave you a proper answer twice. You could try to make me like you but you don't ruin your fucking life doing that. We are friends after all and I don't like being the reason for making you fall into ruins. That also applies to everyone else that I consider a good friend of mine." He said.
Leislet who was looking down finally looked back up with a deeply shocked look. She couldn't believe what Acht said.
"Acht…you are worried about me?"
"No shit, Sherlock. Besides, if you just lose your position then I also lose an advantage I had with you being in such a high position."
The last few words didn't reach Leislet's mind as she went nuts.
'He worried about me? No way! He was worried about me. Acht said that he considers me a dear person to him. No way! I'm beyond happy.' She thought as she cupped her face with blushing cheeks.
Then, unconsciously, she started giggling like an idiot.
Acht didn't wait as he punched her again, making her face fall down on the mattress.
"Are you even listening?"
"Y-You…stop hitting me like that. It hurts!!"
"If it wasn't for the fact that I still have some respect for you I would've spanked you like a child!" He replied.
Leislet opened her mouth to refute his words but then imagined what he said for a brief moment.
'That actually doesn't sound like a bad idea.' she thought.
Acht grabs her and puts her on his lap before spanking her but until it turns red as she moans loudly in a pain mixed with pleasure.
'Maybe that could be something we could try.'
"Sigh…What a headache. You should really put some thought into your decisions, Leislet. You should be aware of how important your smallest decisions could be, let alone the major ones." He sighed as he sat down again.
Leislet also turned slightly serious and spoke after a moment of silence.
"I didn't take this choice on a whim. I had this in mind for a few months now and I finally found the opportunity to just do it. I also wanted to just enjoy a few quiet years and your words made me even more resolved to do so. Besides, I have already made arrangements for the next president so there should be no problems for them or the hunters in general."
Acht nodded his head and didn't say anything else. He had already reprimanded her for her mistake sufficiently.
"Anyway, we can discuss that more later. Want some breakfast?" He asked as he hopped from the bed and walked to the door.
"Wait…so do you accept me living with you?"
"Hell no. You can stay here until you find a house to live in. Then you move out" he replied as he left the room.
However, even though he refused her to stay with him, she could still just stay here for a few weeks or even months. There are many excuses to say for such situations.
'Living with Acht…alone, in a beautiful house surrounded by nature. If there is heaven then this should be it, for sure.' she thought to herself.
Then, coincidentally, her eyes looked at the bed she was sitting on and smiled…a different smile. It was such a naughty smile full of lust and raw desire that it could easily send a chill down Acht's spine if he saw it.
No one could understand what Leiselt could be thinking of at that exact moment except Leislet herself.
'When are you going to grow up, my cute Acht? Ah~~ I can't wait for you to become old enough for our eternal love to flourish and for our bodies to finally touch and unite for all eternity. It would be my only goal in life.' She pondered as she licked her lips with her red tongue seductively.
Her look at that exact moment was that of a predator that was quietly waiting for its prey to get closer and closer and then hunt it down.
Then, as if nothing happened, she walked out of the room happily, humming a sweet, romantic song.
