You're not going anywhere without me

Lying on the floor for almost an entire hour, Felix finally managed to drag his exhausted body and stand up without his knees turning weak and falling to the ground.

This was also when Felix made a note to buy alchemy pills which would help him recover quickly.

"Still, I have to admit that her training is really good."

Praising Maria despite being sore all over, Felix despite not being injured started limping and left the gravity chamber and began making his way towards the Black Market.

Putting on a black cloak halfway through his journey, Felix managed to stop limping and could now walk properly.

"Haaa… I definitely need to buy some recovery pills."

Speaking those words for the umpteenth time already, Felix felt a little relieved from spotting the Black Market's building in the distance.

Entering the huge skyscraper, Felix directly selected the 60th floor which he could do due to possessing the Golden Ring.

"Come little fox, I've come to take you away!"

Speaking those words as soon as the elevator doors were opened, Felix had hoped to make Sheila feel flustered.

Unfortunately, he ended up being disappointed because in the wide space that opened up in front of him, there was only one person inside it with a disdainful smile on her face.

Facing him while sitting on the sofa which had obviously been moved due to how out of place it was right now, Sheila who was lying flatly on the couch smirked and asked, "Disappointed?"

"Disappointed?"

Hiding his true feelings immediately, Felix smiled and said, "Why would I be disappointed when I've come to take you away with me?"

"Yeah, right."

Rolling her eyes, Sheila didn't continue talking about this topic and instead said, "You've truly outdone yourself. Exterminating the Asta Family to show off your power to me, I have to admit that it was truly amazing."

"But, you are lucky that I obtained control over all the cameras inside the city. If not, you would've been arrested already."

"Huh?"

"Come sit, I'll explain."

Making space for Felix, Sheila made him get on the sofa and then lie on it with his head on her lap.

"After you left that day, I used my family's influence to obtain control of all the cameras inside the city.

"Though I have to admit that you manage to sneak around in the shadows quite well, there were some times the cameras caught you."

Hearing this Felix frowned a little, but Sheila used her fingers to forcibly make the frown disappear and said, "Don't worry. Since I took control of the cameras, I deleted all the video footage of that day. Though this made everyone think that my Khun Family had something to do with destroying the Asta Family, no one really dares to offend us for getting rid of something like the Asta Family."

"But, I wouldn't be able to do the same thing for you again because the Astral Government has forced us to hand them back the control over the cameras."

"Therefore, make sure to be more careful when you plan to do something like this the next time. Okay, A-n-a-t-a?"

"Huh?"

With the serious expression on his face disappearing in an instant, Felix looked confused from hearing that foreign words which Sheila just used.

"What was that word?"

"Anata~."

Repeating the same word with a more loving expression, Sheila said, "It's a word from an ancient language which means 'Husband'. How is it?"

"Say the word again."

"Anata?"

"Once more."

"Anata."

"Once mo…"

"Enough!"

Cutting Felix who looked like he wanted to make her repeat the word forever, Sheila pouted and asked, "Where do you plan on taking me with you?"

"Wherever you want. Let's go buy a house for the two of us right now."

"Oka…"

Stopping midway, Sheila glared towards Felix and pushed his head off of her lap.

"I know that you live with your family, so why aren't you taking me to meet them? Do you want to hide me away like a mistress?!"

"No.. I just thought that it would be better for just the two of us to live somewhere together."

"Humph! Let's go live with your family for a few days, then I'll think about living someplace all alone with you. It's not as if I can't tell why you want just the two of us to live alone."

Chuckling awkwardly since there was indeed the influence of his perverted thoughts in wanting to live all alone with this fox beauty, Felix slowly stood up and tried to walk away and tried to pass off his actions as if they were something natural.

Unfortunately, before he could even take a single step, Sheila's soft and long tails grabbed onto his hand and stopped him.

"Where are you going, Anata? Do you not want me to meet my future family?"

"Ahahhahaha… I suddenly realised that I'm not strong enough to take you away with me. So how about waiting for a little while? I'll come back and take you away when I'm strong enough."

Saying so Felix tried to move away but failed to do so because despite how weak and cute the woman's tail was, it was so strong that he couldn't even move his hand a little.

"Don't be like that, boya. Even if you aren't strong enough, I'll make sure to protect you."

Standing up and hugging Felix from behind, Sheila gently whispered into his ear. "You're not going anywhere without me."

Feeling chills go down his back despite the fox lady's breasts being pressed against it, Felix chuckled even more awkwardly than before due and thought that maybe this was how it would feel if a ghost latched onto him.
