Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162: Aria’s Plan

"Kaiden..." Not being able to hold back anymore, the teenage girl began sobbing tears of gratitude, which in turn made Tessa wince. ’Was being in my guild so bad...?’ But she already knew the answer. ’Of course it was. Not only did she put her life on the line, but she must’ve also been bullied... God damn it!’

"If you do that, I’ll repay my debt by saving you guys as many times as I can, no matter the injuries I have to sustain!"

To her surprise, Kaiden shook his head. "You won’t be doing any of that."

"W-what do you mean?"

"Nyx already told you that a girl your age should be in school. I wouldn’t feel right dragging you to dungeons with us. I want you to enroll in high school."

"What about her future expenses?" Luna asked.

"Can you tell us why you decided on your career path in the first place?" Aria asked in a friendly tone. All three ladies of Kaiden were in complete agreement with him on the matter.

Not knowing how to feel anymore, Elara gave up on reigning her emotions in. With muted sobs, she ventured to do as asked. "My little brother has cancer... The government helps with the basic treatment costs, but I want him to have the best care possible, and that means extra expenses we can’t afford on our own..."

"What an admirable big sis you are," Nyx purred with proudly gleaming eyes.

Suddenly, the girl regained the strength in her vocal cords as she fiercely stared into Kaiden’s eyes. "... But please, take me with you to the dungeons! I can’t accept your kindness like this!"

He was firm. "Out of the question." However, in the next moment, a gentle expression replaced his stern one. "But if you want to work to earn your keep, you could become our part-time employee. Though I don’t know what your job would be."

"She could take over my social media manager position, but..."

Luna was quick to agree. "Yeah, that’s not a job for children, considering she would have to see your hideously overgrown bazookas when making the thumbnails for some of our content."

A very mischievous grin appeared on the pink-haired beauty’s lips as she asked, "But it’s ok for her to see your hand grenades, bestie?"

"[Stormblad-]" Already knowing she would lunge at Nyx, Kaiden grabbed onto his Storm Valkyrie with both arms, restraining her. "Kai, stop holding me back! I’ll murder this dumb bitch."

"That’s exactly why I have to step between the two of you..." Kaiden replied wryly.

While the trio was busy with their little drama, Aria turned toward Elara with a warm smile. "How about becoming our housekeeper and combat gear organizer? Once we start collecting high-end equipment and luxurious artifacts as well as furniture, I’d rather not bring in some random cleaning lady who might get... curious. With your high Strength stat, you’ll have no trouble moving gear or furniture around, and with your experience as a dungeon aide, you already know how to handle sensitive equipment much better than any of us do. You could swing by every few days, whenever school schedule allows."

Elara blinked, clearly overwhelmed by how fast things were moving. Her lips parted once, then closed, then parted again as if she couldn’t quite find the right words. Finally, she managed to speak. Quietly at first, but with growing confidence.

"I... I think I’d really like that." Her voice trembled with emotion, but her eyes sparkled with something brighter than just tears: gratitude. "It sounds like something I’d be good at and would allow me to stay by my little brother’s side until the end, unlike working as a pack mule... And if it helps you all even a little, then I’d be proud to do it."

She wiped at her face quickly, embarrassed by the moisture on her cheeks. "Thank you. Really. I never thought... I mean, this is the first time I’ve been treated like more than just some disposable nobody."
