Supreme Husband System! & Supreme Wife System!-Chapter 145: Isn’t it too easy?

After sending Sierra to Lucinda, Idan, Arabel, and Esma stayed in the room of Lucinda's personal maid, who was sleeping peacefully on her bed.

Although Sierra had cast a masking spell over the entire room before leaving, the trio sat quietly for fear of attracting the attention of other residents of the building.

"You don't think that's your plan... shall we say cruel?" Esma asked Idan with the help of the Soul Force, still unable to believe what this couple was up to regarding the Hero.

Indeed, compared to their plan, Esma looked like the epitome of kindness. All she did was create potions and sell them. Esma never forced anyone to drink them, and she never drugged them herself.

Idan did not answer. He hesitated a little longer himself.

Earlier, when this idea came up, Idan thought it was too cruel and he wouldn't stoop to it. But after learning even more about the Hero's actions, he made a decision and decided to carry out this plan.

But now that they had already begun to carry it out, Idan began to doubt it.

"There's nothing cruel about it," Arabel stood up for Idan, using a mental link.

Arabel was very surprised when Idan shared his plan with her. At first, she looked at him with some fear, but then she understood why Idan decided that, and fully supported him.

Having made a decision, they immediately began to act, without waiting for the next day. The couple decided to take advantage of the moment before the Hero realized who he had offended and learned about the existence of the "Perfect Doppelgangers" they had tamed.

Not only Idan and Arabel, but Nemo and Eulalia were sure that overnight all the information about them would be spread throughout the city, including information about the Doppelgangers, because they had already revealed their existence in the Forest of Doppelgangers.

Arabel soon received a message from Sierra, who shared with her the information she had received from Lucinda about Krista.

"The rumors turned out to be true!" exclaimed Arabel, sharing the rest of the news.

"Great! Then let her start!" commanded Idan. Arabel nodded and, through a mental link, ordered her Doppelganger to act. Fortunately, the Doppelganger was nearby and was available for mental communication.

"You know, I envy the three of you," Esma said. "How did you manage to form a contract with these Doppelgangers?"

It was a real shock for her to see three "Perfect Doppelgangers" outside the Forbidden Zone at once. It was especially surprising that these three weren't wild and naughty. Although there was always a smile on their faces, they obeyed the commands of the couple and the elf without question.

Today's entire plan depended on the Doppelgangers' capabilities. Esma was sure that even the Hero would not be able to immediately recognize the Doppelganger if he disguised himself as someone from this building.

"Just lucky..." replied Idan. "How's it going?"

"Bera, she's starting to act!" announced Arabel.

Today, when Arabel summoned her doppelganger to show her to Esme, she named her Bera. Following Arabel's example, Idan decided to give his doppelganger the name Ned.

While Bera, posing as Lucinda's personal maid, approached the Hero, Eva and Ned were in another part of the building, carrying out their assignment.

Eulalia and Nemo did not participate in this spontaneous operation against the Hero. The couple asked them to stay in their rooms and distract the attention of others by appearing in the lobby of the Adventurer's Guild from time to time.

Before leaving, Idan and Arabel took with them Eulalia's doppelganger, who had long since arrived in the city and was waiting for them outside. It was her presence that gave Eulalia confidence in her abilities, because the doppelganger could copy the abilities of beings of the "Diamond" rank and, if necessary, help her.

"Where's the Hero?" Arabel asked Esma.

Esma, as a Valkyrie of the "Diamond Rank", controlled her Soul Force much better and covered a large area.

"The Hero has just finished taking a bath and is currently frolicking in his room with several maids," Esma replied calmly, not even embarrassed.

Arabel was a little embarrassed to hear this from Esma, and looked at her questioningly. But I didn't catch any emotions from Esma.

"What?" asked Esma, looking at Arabel.

"Doesn't it bother you at all what you see?"

"Nope," Esma replied calmly. "Oh, she's already there!"

By this time, Arabel's doppelganger had already reached the Hero's room.

Arabel and Idan held their breaths, waiting.

Suddenly, Esma exclaimed, "Huh? What? What the hell?" and fell silent.

After a few minutes of silence and observation, she stared at the couple with a strange expression on her face.

Esma wanted to ask them something, but then changed her mind and decided to keep quiet.

"Come on," she called, leading the way out of the room.

Idan and Arabel exchanged glances, not understanding what had happened, and followed Esma.

They quickly reached the Hero's room, the door of which was ajar. A man's moans could be heard from inside.

When they entered, they saw that the Hero was lying on the bed, tied up. A maidservant with candles in her hands dripped hot wax onto his back and from time to time beat the naked butt of the Hero with a sacred staff, who seemed to enjoy this scene.

"What... What's going on here?" — Arabel asked through a mental link, stunned by the sight. She immediately closed her eyes to block it out.

The other maids Esma had mentioned were gone. Only Krista, Lucinda's personal maid, mocked the Hero.

Of course, it wasn't the real Krista, but Arabel's doppelganger.

"It seems that several factors played a role here. Firstly, the playfulness of the Doppelganger, and secondly, the vulnerability of the Hero to Lucinda's personal maid," Idan suggested.

When the Doppelganger saw her master, she gave a thumbs up, demonstrating that she had successfully completed the task.

Idan, looking at this, felt his right eye twitch.

The doppelganger overdid it a bit, but her actions were impeccable.

Holding a Staff in her hands, the Doppelganger appeared in front of Arabel and pulled it towards her Master. Arabel wasted no time grabbing the Staff and sending it into the storage space before it could return to the Hero.

As soon as the Staff disappeared, the Hero finally came to his senses after suddenly losing contact with the Sacred Staff.

While the Hero was at a loss, the couple was amazed.

It was all too easy. What about their carefully thought-out plan?

The task of the Doppelganger was to give the Hero a special potion, which was supposed to weaken him a little.

Then Esma had to perform and force the Hero to use the Sacred Staff. At this point, the couple planned to take possession of the staff, isolate it, and deal with the Hero.

But instead, Arabel's Doppelganger successfully completed all the tasks alone.

Of course, the Doppelganger wasn't stupid.

Bera knew what her master wanted and what their goal was. Therefore, when Bera met the Hero and discovered his vulnerability to the woman she portrayed, Bera showed resourcefulness and completed all the tasks on her own, thereby simplifying the plan they had come up with.

[Ding! The task "To get your hands on one of the Sacred weapons – the Sacred Staff within 2 days." completed. The reward for completing the task is unlocking the ability to make individual orders for forging weapons or armor through the "Trade" function directly to the "Supreme Blacksmith System". An additional sub-function has been opened for the "Trade" function - "Individual orders".]

After receiving confirmation of the assignment, the couple still couldn't believe it.

Well, it all turned out too simply.

To confirm, the pair immediately opened the "individual orders" sub-function, anticipating a new opportunity, but when they saw the price, they immediately closed it.

"Damn!" both Idan and Arabel cursed at the same time. The prices were simply cosmic. The cheapest one they saw was worth 25,000 System Points.

No sooner had the couple cursed at the System than the System started talking in its monotonous voice again.

[Ding! The Supreme Blacksmith System, after a preliminary inspection of the Sacred Staff, has shown some interest in the rest of the Sacred Weapons and is giving you a personal task. To get the rest of the Sacred Weapons for analysis – 1/7. The reward is to provide the opportunity to create a custom–made personal Sacred weapon for the Host when completing the "Supreme Blacksmith System" task!]

[Ding! The analysis of the Sacred Staff will end in one hour, and it will be returned.] [00:59:59]

Immediately after the System's words, a timer appeared that counted the end time of the analysis.
