God of Tricksters-Novel

1622 Sleep

Theo reached the base at 7 AM. He was slightly late as he could see people going back and forth in the street.

Although Theo wanted to go back to his house immediately, he contacted Rea first, wanting to let go of all thoughts about work before having breakfast with Agata.

Rea came out within three minutes and asked, "Do you find anything?"

"Yes." Theo sent the data to Rea and said, "This is everything I've found. I have three jobs for you. First, maintain contact with the other two bases and find out their conditions. I want to see how big the attack these guys are planning…

"Second, I want you to find out about a monster's location. The monster is a slime. It should be related to that night of horror that destroyed the whole country. I'll give you the details later.

"Lastly, I want you to investigate the entire world's condition through satellites. The process will be slow, so you may work together with the army.

"Although I feel bad giving you all this task, you have six months of rest since the Magic Power and Order will have to merge naturally. So, I want you to focus on these three for the time being."

"Understood." Rea nodded with a serious expression. Since Theo had ordered her to do something, she had to do it.

"Thanks." Theo waved his hand while walking back to his house, finding Agata cooking.

He sneakily came closer before hugging her from behind gently.

"Ah, you're back?!" Agata glanced to the side. Thankfully, Theo knew how to cook as well, so his hug was gentle enough to not disrupt her movement.

"Yeah. I'm home." Theo smiled. "You're cooking?"

"Yes. Although we can rely on Coline for our food, I want to be the first one to cook for you ever since we live together again with everyone." Agata nodded with a smile. N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net

"Is that so?" His weariness disappeared in an instant. He just continued hugging her, asking, "Do you need help?"

"It's fine. This is a special occasion, so I want to do it by myself. How about you take a seat first? I'll finish in ten minutes."

"Let me hug you like this." Theo wanted to be spoiled a bit. He had been too hard on himself this whole time, so he was a bit tired from everything. Now that Agata was here, Theo could heal his heart.

Agata kissed his cheek and said, "Alright, alright. Just don't do it too hard and mess with my cooking."

"Of course." Theo smiled.

If they were normal people, Theo's weight would be a problem for Agata. However, Agata was a Supreme Rank Expert, so a person's weight didn't matter too much. Since Theo held her gently, she continued cooking.

After a while, Theo let her go and decided to sit down in the chair. She was going to finish up soon, so he just watched her the whole time. His smile never faded away and his heart was at peace.

There were too many problems in the world, so this was the only time he didn't want to be disturbed by anything else.

Not long after, Agata brought the food to the table. "Let's eat."

"Umm."

Theo nodded.

The atmosphere was peaceful, but their happiness brightened the mood as they couldn't stop giggling. It had truly been a while.

Even in United Asia, they couldn't do much because Theo had a lot of work there. When he returned to their rooms, they just slept through the night.

So, after they returned here, Theo dropped his guard down. There were already one King and two Queens in his group.

Although his influence still couldn't be compared to the Frost Saint, who had ten Kings and Queens in total, he was slowly building up his power.

There were a few candidates who might be able to break through to the next level. They were Akbar, Walker, and Coline.

Still, he had to teach them personally for one or two years before they could meet the bare minimum. The rest would depend on their qualification.

Nevertheless, with all these people, the base would be safe even if he didn't make his move. So Theo didn't have to put up his guard.

After eating, he and Agata were just cuddling with each other while watching Skynet, wondering what was happening with the world right now.

"Are you going to sleep?" Agata asked with a soothing tone while looking at Theo, who buried his head in her chest.

"Mhm."

"Look at you. You're like a spoiled child right now." Agata chuckled while stroking his hair.

"Can't I?"

"Of course, you can. It's just a bit funny to see the strong Theo, who has become the world's hero and even become their hope, be like this. Do you know that you can melt someone's heart just by doing this?"

"I'm not planning to do this to anyone else other than you."

"Is that so? I'm the lucky one then. I'm the only one who can see the weak Theo."

"Do you not like me when I'm like this?"

"Not really. You have been too strong this whole time. You deserve some rest. I'm happy to know you differently from the others." Agata giggled.

"It's pretty tiring to keep up the strong front. If I show any weakness, I would be devoured by those people in power. And if I can't get my head straight, there is going to be something that will ruin this world."

"Yep, you've worked hard. I'm glad that you can talk to me this way… You look… very humane right now. And I like you better this way… There is no need to be the Strong Theo everyone knows in this house. Just become yourself here."

"Right… Do you want to renovate the house?"

"Mhm…Nope. Let's stay this way. The house is comfy, so we don't have to change anything. But if you wish to change it, can you wait until we're married? We can change it to prepare for the baby…"

"…"

Agata didn't hear Theo's response as she realized Theo had fallen asleep. She smiled while closing her eyes. "Thank you for your hard work this whole time. Sleep well."
