Supreme Husband System! & Supreme Wife System!-Chapter 155: The result, the return, the rumors, and the offer.
"Hmm..." Idan coughed to attract the attention of others.
"Well... as I mentioned, the potion does change gender for only six hours. However, I forgot to mention that there is a very small chance, less than one percent, that the effect may be permanent rather than temporary." Idan had to say those words.
"And it looks like our Hero was incredibly lucky to get into that one percent!"
"Pfft... Ahahaha!" — Esma couldn't hold back her laughter, amazed at the Hero's luck.
Lucinda was completely shocked, "How did they get such a sinister potion!"
Sierra couldn't hide her smile as she watched the scene with pleasure.
When everyone calmed down a bit, Idan looked at Esma and asked:
— How's the Hero? Is he... is she still alive?
—Yes, she's alive, and it seems they haven't finished yet," Esma replied with a sly smile, glancing at Idan. "Don't you want to watch?"
— Ouch! Idan exclaimed, feeling a pain in his side.
Arabel slapped him lightly, making it clear that he shouldn't look at it.
"Ha, I see..." said Esma with a smile, noticing Arabel's serious look.
Arabel herself was staring intently at Esma, trying to understand her. She had already noticed that Esma hardly reacted when it came to "such" things. It's like she's not really interested in this, or she's already seen so many of these things that she's used to it and nothing surprises her anymore.
"It seems like it's a success!" exclaimed Esma, taking another look inside. "We just have to wait for them to finish, and then..."
"No, thanks..." Idan immediately declined the offer.
Esma was amazed by Idan's response, not understanding where their curiosity and desire to return the Hero to his... that is, her former state had disappeared.

"Return it to her?" Idan Arabel asked through a mental link, referring to the Sacred Staff.
Arabel thought for a moment, then nodded her head, deciding to return the staff and see if it worked. She also reluctantly agreed to return the staff to the Hero.
"Eh... our System Points..." Arabel said in her mind as Idan pulled out the Sacred Staff from the vault, which the System had returned a few hours ago after an analysis.
All the Valkyries noticed the staff in Idan's hands. At first, the staff did not react to anything, but then, as if sensing something, it twitched and disintegrated into particles that flew into the room through the door.
Lucinda was startled again.
«This couple from another world not only changed the gender of the Hero, but also stole the Sacred Staff?»
In a very short time, she witnessed many events that seemed impossible to her before.
"Okay, let's go!" said Idan Arabel.
He realized that waiting for everything to end and then waiting for the Hero to wake up was a waste of time. They have already achieved what they wanted.
However, the fact that they decided to return the staff spoiled their mood a little. However, they understood that the Hero, most likely, even if he did not recover, would not disappear after all this. They will have a chance to steal this staff again and sell it for System Points. And if the Hero comes to his senses and becomes more or less normal, they will demand these same System points from him (her). As a being beyond the "Diamond" rank, he (she) must have a lot of interesting things, or the couple will be able to use the Hero himself to their advantage.
Idan and Arabel started to leave.
Esma immediately followed them with a smile.
Sierra paused for a moment, looked at Lucinda, and said: "I'll come back a little later..." — after which she also left after the couple.
Hearing these words, Lucinda thought of the two empty vials in her storage.
She was left alone in front of the Hero's room and was confused, not knowing what to do.
Leaving Lucinda alone, the others, under the cover of Sierra, stealthily and quickly made their way to the rented rooms at the Adventurer's Guild.
The sun had just started to rise above the horizon, and there weren't many people in the Guild yet.
When they returned, Eulalia and Nemo were already waiting for them in one of the rooms. It was obvious that they hadn't slept and had been waiting all this time.
Idan and Arabel were touched by their concern and did not hesitate to tell them everything that had happened.
After hearing their story, Nemo and Eulalia were very surprised and even a little scared. In their eyes, the younger ones began to seem a little threatening.
Idan and Arabel were carefully scanning the surroundings in search of the little scoundrel. However, since she disappeared, deliberately dropping the photo in front of Arabel, she has not appeared.
They were both a little upset and still couldn't forget what she had done. They wanted to punish her a little, but they couldn't find her anywhere.
The couple didn't even come up with a name for her. In her status, it was empty. They wanted to get to know the fox cub better and ask her if she liked the name they had chosen. After all, they could easily get her opinion through a mental link, especially since the little fox seemed to be able to write.
Soon, they heard rumors about the event that took place in the Forest of Doppelgangers.
Everyone, without exception, was pleasantly surprised when they found out that the three Doppelgangers, who had previously behaved obediently and followed the commands of their masters, caused such chaos yesterday that they even scared the beings of the "Diamond" rank.
Now any adventurer will be afraid to enter this Forbidden Zone for a while. After all, three "Perfect Doppelgangers" were spotted there, who were able to destroy almost half of the peoples gathered in that place.
Even several Platinum-ranked beings were killed, and one Diamond-ranked being was seriously injured.
All the band members, with the exception of Sierra and Esma, were eager to find out how things were going with Alois and his student Liam. However, they were unable to find any information about them. They just hoped they were okay.
Finally, a calm and free day came, and everyone, without exception, decided to rest until tomorrow's Reset and recuperate.
Sierra still intended to follow the couple and help them after the Reset. She had no other business in this place. She usually just hung around waiting for her end, but now that her lifespan had increased, she didn't know what to do with herself.
Esma waited hopefully for a response from the couple and was ready to follow them. As for her store, she decided to leave it for a while. Esma was sure that nothing would happen to the store. She had many loyal customers, and none of them would allow her store to be robbed or destroyed.
In the late afternoon, Idan and Arabel finally found Nemo. He was sitting there, gently stroking a small kitten that was sleeping peacefully in his lap.
"Nemo, we need to talk, — Idan addressed him using a mental link.
Nemo didn't answer, just looked at them questioningly, waiting to see what they wanted to talk to him about.
Idan and Arabel finally decided to discuss with Nemo one of the most important issues that they had been putting off all this time, hoping that the right time had not yet come. However, today they both came to the conclusion that this was the day, and went in search of Nemo.
"Nemo, you know that we come from another world, and it's a little different from this one. Just like here, our world has its own paths to cultivation. Arabel and I have our own special path, which is different from the path taken in this world.
This path of cultivation is somewhat unusual, and we cannot tell you about it in detail. But this path requires that we choose a representative in your world who will become our champion," Idan said, catching his breath.
After a short pause, he looked at Nemo and asked: "What do you think about becoming our Champion?"
