Isaac and Luna reached the neighborhood's gates, where two Guards were standing.
They narrowed their eyes, but they recognized the white-haired youth and finally relaxed.
''Where are you planning to go?'' Isaac asked from Luna. The sky had already become dark, even though the flashing of lights still made the surroundings somewhat bright.
''I rented a room in the inn,'' Luna replied with a smile and was saddened that she had to part ways with Isaac.
''How far is it?'' Isaac curiously asked.
''It is close to the slum area,'' Luna replied and thought that it wasn't the best possible location, but every other place was taken, and she couldn't afford anything expensive.
''You can stay a night where I have rented a room.'' Isaac suggested, ''It's getting dark, and you should either log out now or come with me.''
''Why?'' Luna tilted her head and felt happy that he asked her to come, but she wondered why she couldn't return to her room.
''Well.'' Isaac looked at her, and she looked very vulnerable and beautiful, ''It's not necessarily safe, even though you can always log out.''
Luna tapped her chin and giggled, ''Hehe, thanks!''
Isaac smiled and looked at the Guards, who nodded at him.
He nodded back and entered the neighborhood with Luna.
Luna curiously looked at the neighborhood and looked amazed, ''Wooow, this place looks amazing.''
''Do you want to move here?'' Isaac asked, ''Bella has rented rooms available.''
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuna wanted to say yes, but then she remembered, ''I don't have any money…'' Her shoulders slumped, and she felt like she had missed an opportunity to be with Isaac more, but she hadn't had time to earn money like Isaac.
''Oh.'' Isaac himself doesn't have money problems, but he doubts that Luna would want to cling to him and wants to survive by herself.
''I understand, but when you have enough money, you can talk to me, and I can ask from Bella if there are rented rooms available,'' Isaac said and soon came to a stop after reaching the house.
Luna smiled and nodded, ''Yup!''
Isaac took the key from the Inventory and opened the door.
After the door was opened, he saw shoes in the shoe rack, meaning that Bella had returned.
He was the first one to enter the house, and he took off his shoes before going to the living room.
Luna entered the house and was about to take her shoes, but then she remembered that she wasn't wearing any shoes.
''Hehe, silly me.'' She giggled and fidgeted with her toes, which were slightly dirtied from walking without shoes.
''Ah, you have returned.'' Bella closed the cooking book and watched as Isaac entered the living room.
''Yes, I have a favor to ask.''
Bella listened closely, but then she saw a beautiful young woman entering the house.
Her beautiful dress shone underneath the light, making her look gorgeous with her smooth skin and innocent look.
''Who..?'' Bella looked at Isaac with confusion.
''Can Luna stay here for tonight?'' He asked with a praying gesture, ''She has nowhere else to go currently.''
''U-umm…'' Bella looked shocked and had a misunderstanding, 'He is bringing girls?! I-I have misunderstood him completely… W-What a playboy!'
''Hey, my name is Luna!'' Luna hopped next to Isaac and said with a cheerful look.
Bella's face turned gentle as she saw the innocent young woman, ''A-Alright… I-I will bring another mattress to your room.'' She shakily stood up and was about to go to upstairs.
Luna blushed and thought, 'I will sleep in his room..? Hehe, sleepover.'
''Ah, no.'' Isaac waved his hand and asked, ''Are there rooms available for her?''
''O-Oh.'' Bella blushed after understanding that she had a slight misunderstanding, ''Yes, there is!''
Luna smiled innocently while feeling slightly disappointed after not being able to have a sleepover.
''I will go clean her room.'' Bella rushed upstairs with heated cheeks.
After five minutes, she returned with a brush and an exhausted face.
She saw Luna sitting on a sofa while cleaning her dirty toes.
Isaac was sitting on another sofa, reading the cooking book.
''Your room is ready,'' Bella said and saw Luna jumping on her feet with a cheerful look.
''Yay!'' She hopped next to Bella and surprisingly hugged her.
''U-Umm…'' Bella froze over while feeling Luna's soft body hugging her out of nowhere.
Luna smiled and said, ''Thanks!'' She stopped hugging and hopped towards the second floor.

''N-No problem!'' Bella shouted after them and grabbed the cooking book from the sofa. She continued reading with a determined look to become the world's greatest chef.
On the third floor.
Luna stopped in front of a room with number 4.
Isaac appeared from the stairs and stopped next to her.
''Where is your room?'' Luna asked and saw Isaac pointing at the room that was right next to hers but had the number 5 on the door.
''Hehe, we are neighbors.'' She puffed her chest and smiled while looking around the hallway.
It was worlds apart from the inn she was living in. It was dirty, with cracked walls and broken floors.
Her room smelled like someone died there and she barely spends any time there; instead, she usually stores her stuff there and logs out.
She felt very warm and secure while standing in the hallway, where the floors and walls were sturdy and beautiful.
''I am going to go log out now— see you tomorrow?'' Isaac opened the door and then noticed Luna sighing deeply.
''I will travel to my granddad's place tomorrow.'' Luna sadly smiled and continued, ''I don't think I can come online for several days.''
''Oh.'' Isaac looked slightly sad at the fact, but then he remembered her condition and stuff she had to do in the real world.
''Well, take care of yourself.'' Isaac patted her head and ruffled her hair before entering the room.
Luna touched her hair and couldn't keep a straight face after her mouth curved into a smile, ''Thanks…''
She took a deep breath and entered her room, which was quite identical to Isaac's room, but it was a room that made her emotional.
It was much different from the hospital room and the dirty inn room.
It wasn't a very fancy room, but it was something that made her happy.
''Soft!'' She hopped into her bedroom and jumped on the bed with a soft mattress.
