*Clack!*
Clovis closed the door while letting out a sigh. "Today is very exhausting. To think that I would have to visit all those shops, and more importantly, how does Kanaria have that much energy? She doesn’t look exhausted at all. Anyway, I will have a few days to rest. I’m going to polish my Star Method and try to enter that state again.
Without it, it’s impossible to defeat a Tier 3 beast after all. And I will wait for Melody to familiarize herself with the group for a bit before telling her about the Star Method."
Clovis just dropped to his knees as he just wanted a warm bath and sleep after all this. His injury wasn’t that bad, so he could still practice tomorrow.
That was what he thought before he noticed a giant bag on the floor.
"Huh? What is this?" Clovis furrowed his eyebrows. There wasn’t supposed to be a bag inside his house, so Clovis was alarmed the moment he saw one. "Is this a bomb? But there is a note on top of it…"
The writing was different from Kanaria as it was pretty neat to the point where he could easily read it from his current position.
Clovis instantly picked up the letter the moment he saw the first line.
"Kanaria has been kicked out of the house. Her father doesn’t want her to join another group and the argument turns into a big fight. Out of anger, her father kicks her out to make her rethink her decision.
"So, right now, she doesn’t have anywhere to go. I have asked Jay about this, but it seems that there is only one place she can stay. I hope you can take care of my daughter for the time being until her father calms down.
"Sorry for all this trouble
"From your beloved auntie, Vania. With Love."
"…" Clovis’s expression darkened. "A big fight? Kick off? How could she lie like that? Aren’t you just making excuses so that you can push your daughter onto me? I can finally understand why my grandfather leaves… Even without you doing all this, I’m not going to push her away.
I can understand your desperation, but you need to chill… Then again, she is not here."
That was what he thought before someone knocked on the door. When he peeked outside, it turned out to be Kanaria, her face was bright red.
Clovis opened the door for her and finally remembered that Kanaria’s senses were much sharper.
"Did you hear what I just said?" Clovis blinked a few times. The atmosphere turned awkward.
"Mhmm…" Kanaria rubbed her cheeks.
…
A moment ago.
"This mother of mine…" Kanaria clicked her tongue. "Do you know what he is going to think of me after you do all this?"
She received a message from her mother not long after she and Clovis split up, so she ended up chasing after Clovis, wanting to stop him from finding the bag.
However, she was too late. Clovis had returned.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Kanaria bit her lips. If she entered right away, it would be awkward. But Clovis should have found the bag that her mother left behind.
"I should know what he has to say first." Kanaria gulped down and placed her ear on the door.
She had noticed this the first time she visited Clovis’s house. It seemed that this house was built of special material.

Since high-tier people with affinity in Brain could hear from a distance, she should be able to do the same even if the door was closed. But that didn’t happen.
She could barely hear anything from the inside, so she had to place her ear directly on the door to hear what Clovis had to say. And even then, she could barely hear it.
Then she heard Clovis’s words about not planning to push her away.
After learning about Clovis’s stance, she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. Even though this was what her mother wanted, it didn’t mean she was that opposed to it.
Still, it was a bit embarrassing to know it directly.
That was when she knocked on the door.
…
Just recalling it made her face a bit red.
Clovis scratched the back of his head. "Well, you can stay in my house as long as you like. I don’t really mind. I mean, having someone else in the house makes it not lonely. In addition, it’s nice to have someone since I can share the chore. And it’ll be easier to discuss our plan.
We are the ones usually coming up with the trip plan anyway."
"Mhmm…" Kanaria knew that Clovis was just saying whatever was on his mind to escape this embarrassing moment. But he was right. "Then… do you mind if I bring my clothes…"
"Ah, yeah. While we’re at it, let me bring out all my clothes as well. You can use my room, I will stay in my parents’ room. Even if we meet them in the future, I bet it’s not going to be in this city. So, feel free to treat this as your own." Clovis nodded.
Kanaria nodded as they made their way toward Clovis’s room.
Clovis didn’t take too long to clear up the entire room before leaving Kanaria to unpack her luggage. From the size of the bag, Clovis knew that it had everything from daily clothes to extra clothes for exploration.
This also meant that Kanaria would start living with him.
After Clovis left the room, Kanaria couldn’t help but text her mother. "Mom. This is too much. Do you know that Clovis will hate me if you do this?"
Mom: "I am doing whatever I can to make sure that you don’t have the same regret. Don’t worry."
"Still, don’t you think it’s too much? How could you be so shameless and invite yourself in?"
Mom: "So, have you moved in?"
The reply came right after as if she was expecting her message.
Kanaria was completely speechless, but she didn’t lie in her reply.
"Yes."
And that marked the end of the argument as Kanaria lost again to her mother.
