Leveling Up with My Adorable Monster Girl Harem!

Chapter 148: Buying a house is tough when you have two women

When strong verbs can't express your feelings, you go for what rolls onto your tongue.

"What the fuck is wrong with you two?" Leon narrowed his eyes at his two beloveds. "What's wrong now?"

Leon's family was on tour, checking available houses. And while Leon's requirement was simply to have like two rooms to himself, his women had way more demands.

No, that was wrong.

"This tower will bother me if we live here." Celes pointed at the tower far away from their current location. "It'll block out the moon."

"Since when you like to watch the moon?" Leon's eye twitched.

His vampiress curved her lips into a smile and peculiarly looked at him. "When I'm alone, it keeps me company."

Leon clicked his tongue and turned to Senior Raven. "We'll check another house, then."

"Sure." Senior Raven smiled, spoke to the owner of this house, and then took Leon and his family somewhere else.

And while it might seem odd that this respected senior was guiding Leon through Madevin Metropolis, Leon inferred that this old man had received a quest to satisfy Leon's demands. Perhaps, he was also curious about Celes and Louise, knowing about their identities.

He surely kept an eye on them, but Leon understood that, too.

Right now, Leon's problem was something else. In fact, he had two huge problems on his side as these two women of his couldn't decide on the right house. Even when Leon told them that it'd be one of their houses since he planned to adventure throughout the world, his women were picky and took their time.

Soon, Leon's party became bigger as Arthur joined them.

He had been searching for his senior and found him with Leon. "H-Hi…"

"Hi, why so tense?" Leon asked despite knowing what had happened to this man.

Arthur learned about Alexandra's past and her cruelty. Now, he was worried that he had gotten onto her blacklist and she'd try to bully him in Madevin Metropolis. He wasn't scared of his life here, but bullying was pretty normal between a few individuals, as long as it wasn't extreme.

"Because of my ignorance… She's not here, right?" Arthur looked around for Blue Thanatos, then sighed with relief as Leon told him she was elsewhere. "I couldn't recognize her. Even after I learned about the blue dragons, I couldn't make any connection to her since she was so different now. I had to ask Senior Raven for confirmation!"

Senior Raven shook his head, disappointed in this youngster. "You should know by now that Blue Thanatos was a loner. Since she's following Mr. Leon around, she's bound to be different. The Dragon Royal Guild also punished her for her crime, so she's a much different person. You should understand this and treasure your new friendship with Mr. Leon. If she was mad at you, Mr. Leon would tell you."

"T-That's true…" Arthur's red hair swayed slowly as though he could convey his emotions through streaks.

Leon chuckled and turned his eyes to Senior Raven. "Wouldn't it be better for you to have new generations go around the world with you by their side?"

The old man stroked his beard. "It's not that simple. I don't know if your beloveds told you about it, but when high-level people want to use their powers in commonly populated areas with low-level masses, we first produce a beam of mana that notifies others about our presence.

"That beam also stops us for a few minutes. We aren't that limited, and it surely doesn't threaten us in any way, even if our opponent has the skills to move the environment. We can protect our youngsters within that beam, too, but it's such a hindrance that people rarely decide to adventure with new generations. Naturally, in Madevin Metropolis, it balances out as many high-level people are dwelling here."

"I see." Leon wasn't high level, so he couldn't tell how much of a hindrance that beam was. With his high stats, he wasn't that worried about it.

And he felt like there were many useful things and concepts that those high-level people could leverage to avoid that beam and keep an eye on their younger generations. But once again, that was not Leon's problem, and he wasn't looking forward to having his own guild or an army.

He smiled and quickly returned to the previous topic as another house towered before him.

"I don't like it." Louise commented with her arms crossed. "It's too dark."

"Another one, then…" Senior Raven sighed and turned his heels.

Celes sighed, too, but for a different reason. "Because of many different species, I reckon that flying is banned here…."

"That's indeed the case." The old man faintly smiled.

"I could freely use my wings in our kingdom…." Celes understood how much luxury she had since not every vampire could fly around the capital of her previous kingdom.

She was royalty, and under Her Highness, so Celes didn't have problems with that.

Now, she kinda missed that feeling of wind caressing her hair and going through curves.

While these two talked a little about the past, Arthur whispered to Leon. "You have the same problem as me. I went through the same, you know?"

Louise narrowed her eyes and listened to the man with flaming hair while he wasn't even aware of her senses swathing him.

Leon nodded.

Arthur smiled and continued. "It might be a problem for you, but that made me realize that every strong woman with a cruel and abundant past still has the same problems as all girls around the world. It's like we can find cuteness in every lioness, right? Haha!"

Leon grinned and nodded to his new buddy again, adding a few pats on his shoulder.

Arthur continued the talk in a much better mood, feeling closer to his new buddy. "I only needed a bedroom and room for my hobby. I like collecting hot stuff from around the world, like shells of fire beasts and monsters, for example. I have a whole room of things like that and even spicy food. So as long as I had these two rooms in my house, I was content with basically anything. I left all arguments to my women and went to study the world. When they called me, I checked the room and was like [Yeah, that's it!] since I really just needed a bedroom and my own personal room!"

"I guess I can leave that to my beloveds, too." Leon agreed with his friend's words and turned to his women, telling them that he would go eat something with his new friend.

Louise and Celes didn't really have much to say in that regard and nodded.

Senior Raven's forehead creased.

Now, he was the only one to receive complaints!
