"I'm here, come in," Arthur replied.
Soon the door was opened, revealing the figure of Carla wearing only shorts and a tight black tanktop while her hair was in a ponytail.
There was a hint of sweat all over her body, something that made her look even sexier.
"Mom said that you have a potion, where is it?" she asked as she stepped into Arthur's room.
Her gaze quickly fell on Arthur's bedside table.
Perhaps Isabel had told her about it over the phone earlier because the woman was still in her bedroom.
"Are they the potions?" Carla said before Arthur could answer her question.
"You can take one," Arthur replied with a faint smile.
When she arrived at the bedside, Carla sat down immediately, taking one of the bottles.
She eyed it up and down with a furrowed brow.
"Can this really help me become a magus?" She wondered, looking unsure.
"It will, you just need to drink it, but before that, make sure you take a bath first so that your mind is calmer."
"I see!" Carla finally showed an understanding expression.
"However, I'm still tired, want to rest first," she added.
Right after she said that, she lay down on the bed, resting her head on one of Arthur's mattresses.
The latter could not help but smile wryly at her cousin's behavior.
The problem was that he himself also wanted to lie down and relax to calm himself down after hours of training.
However, if smhe lay down now, he would practically be lying down with Carla.
Perhaps that was also what the girl wanted.
Seeing Arthur's hesitation, she became sullen.
"Arthur, what the hell are you doing?" she said.
Right after that, she grabbed Arthur's hand and pulled him.
'She's more than brave now.' Arthur didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
In the end, his body completely fell beside Carla.
At the same time, the girl shifted her body to the center of the mattress so that she was closer to him. And the next thing she did was hug his body from the side.
Instantly, Arthur could feel her breasts pressing against one of his hands. It felt obvious because she was only wearing a tanktop.
"Let me sleep here for a while," she said again while raising her legs to his.
"If aunt comes, we'll be in trouble," Arthur replied.
"I don't care," Carla replied in a tone that didn't have the slightest hesitation.
Phew!
Arthur could only sigh in the end.
"Arthur." Carla suddenly called his name.
As Arthur looked into her eyes, she continued, "You know, if you don't go to another world and gain many abilities, I will continue to study hard so that I can have a high-paying job in the future. At that time, if you still like to confine yourself at home, I was thinking of taking care of you with my own money. If nothing comes up, I will try to get us married."
Arthur, "..."
He was dumbfounded that Carla had that kind of plan despite the fact that she seemed to have often organized his life in the past.
If you think about it, Carla's future life would definitely be very good. She was smart and had a mother who was a congresswoman. Most of her friends also had good backgrounds.
If Arthur has no magic ability and he is in trouble of not being good at socializing, living with Carla can indeed guarantee his future is also very good. He can constantly live without burdens and thoughts, and at the same time does not need to think about how to survive.
Of course, there was no way he would accept such a life. He also had his own pride or else he wouldn't have achieved great things in another world.
He thought that even if he didn't have magic ability, his future wouldn't be so bad because he was sure that his determination would rise.
However, he was happy to have such a good cousin like Carla. He couldn't help but move his body to face towards her, a movement that quite surprised her.
"Thank you, but from now on I'll be the one taking care of you," he said, placing his hand on her head and stroking her reddish hair.
Carla's face froze but then she smiled happily.
"Are you just going to take care of me?" she asked.
"What else?" Arthur pretended to be confused.
"Hmm!" Carla snorted softly, pouting again as Arthur continued to pretend.
However, she didn't seem to want to continue chatting, her face moved towards his chest and she rested her head there before closing her eyes.
Arthur wanted to shake his head but it was impossible because he was lying down.
He looked up at the clock on the wall, thinking that there was still time to sleep because stealing gold would be done by midnight.
While continuing to close caress Carla's hair, he closed his eyes. He thought there was nothing wrong sleeping cuddled up like this with his own cousin.
***
They woke up around 9 PM, which means they slept for almost 4 hours.
Upon opening his eyes, Arthur was surprised to find Carla's body no longer beside him, but on top of his body with her hands on his chest.
Plus, the girl's tanktop was shifted up so that her belly was exposed, almost reaching her breasts.
Carla herself showed a strange expression, but it was not because of their position, but because of something big and hard that she was currently pressing against with her body.
Her face turned red when she found out what it was.
Fortunately, she was a fairly calm and sometimes rather cold type of girl, so she could easily stabilize her expression.
Her eyes looked at Arthur's face and there was movement in her eyes.
Meanwhile, Arthur patted her waist. "It's time for you to go back to your room, take a shower, and start practicing," he said.
However, what he didn't expect was for Carla to suddenly shake her head.
"I'll just shower here," she said.
Arthur, "..."
