Chapter 97: Wanda In Black Silk Stockings, Ch 44.5
Hode sighed deeply and drew a circle in the air. In an instant, a dazzling dimensional portal appeared before him.
Inside it was another room.
From the decor within, it seemed to be of similar size to the previous room, except that there were no personal belongings inside.
As Hode stepped through the dimensional portal, he was surprised to see Gwen lying on the bed, completely wrapped up in a blanket.
She peeked her small head out to look at the 85-inch television screen not too far away.
"How did I end up here?"
Gwen had just finished her shower and, not having time to find clothes, was greeted by an odd portal.
She had been trying to see what was happening with her suit when the portal had closed.
However, she recognized the scenery around her and realized she was still at Hode's place.
"Well, there were guests at home just now, so I moved you to a better environment,"
Hode explained, his face betraying no embarrassment. A seasoned player in the game of love like him could hardly be flustered by such an occurrence.
Just moments ago, he had suddenly thought of what to do and simply teleported Gwen to the guest room downstairs.
"Oh, I was wondering why there were loud banging noises coming from upstairs."
Gwen didn't think much of it; after all, it was normal for someone like Hode to be busy working at night.
"Ahem..."
Hode cleared his throat, and his expression grew somewhat awkward.
"Um... do you have any clothes?"
Gwen lifted the blanket off her head, revealing her creamy shoulders.
She had been waiting for some clothes, which was why she ended up washing herself a bit too much and curling up on the bed.
"I'll get some for you."
Hode opened the dimensional portal and brought over some clothes from a clothing store.
After all, there was no time to go shopping now.
"Thank you."
Gwen glanced at the clothes, somewhat surprised, as they just happened to be her size.
But seeing that Hode was still standing there, she shyly forced a smile and asked, "Uh, are you staying for this?"
"Mm."
Hode obediently turned around.
But at that moment, his gaze was drawn to a stainless steel decorative piece on the wall not far away.
It reflected everything happening behind him quite clearly.
He could see everything in detail.
"I really need to give Reina a raise!"
Hode thought to himself, marveling at how polished it was!
Gwen didn't notice such small details.
"Thank you, this outfit fits perfectly."
Gwen was delighted; the outfit matched her style.
With the size being just right, she knew that Hode had put in the effort.
Meanwhile, upstairs...
Wanda was starting to feel a bit drowsy.
"Hode?"
She called out but received no response.
After hesitating for a moment, she wrapped herself in a towel and stepped out.
As soon as she opened the door, she felt a magical disturbance in the air.
The chaos magic within her responded.
"There's a magical disturbance?"
She was puzzled, feeling the air vibrate.
Buzz!!!
The air trembled.
Someone was casting some sort of magic here!
