Chapter 449: Overnight at the hotel.
Arabel, having found her room and entered it, happily threw herself on the bed and, burying herself in the pillow, began to squeal with delight so that no one could hear her.
Remembering how Idan had invited her to a candlelit dinner, she couldn't contain her joy. This filled her heart with happiness, and she was restless with excitement.
Arabel was in no hurry to start forming the third star.
After turning her uniform back into a bracelet and changing her clothes to comfortable and loose ones, she flopped back onto the bed and hugged a pillow, spending some more time lying down.
"Hehe," she thought, smiling, trying to imagine what this candlelit dinner would be like, prepared by another Supreme System.
"It must be something big, right? Romantic?" she mused, and the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't wait to see it with her own eyes.
"I need to buy a new outfit," Arabel said, remembering that she still did not have the right clothes for such a special evening.
"I'll have to go shopping with Irene, Esma or Hailey," Arabel whispered, remembering the three girls she knew and with whom she could go shopping.
After some time spent dreaming, when the excitement had subsided a little, Arabel finally decided to get down to business.
She sat down in the middle of the big bed, took a few deep breaths and turned to the System.:
"System, I'm ready to form my third Star."
[Host. The cost of forming a third Star is 1,000 System Points. Would you like to continue?] — the System's voice rang out.
"Yes, go on," Arabel nodded.
[1000 System Points deducted]
Closing her eyes, Arabel began the process of forming her third Star, completely immersing herself in it and giving her full attention.

After Arabel left, Idan caught the little fox. He happily scratched and tickled her, and then moved into the spacious living room to finally sort out the treasures that Coco had managed to loot from Erza's treasury.
But first of all, Idan took out the Sphere of Secret Concealment and activated visual and noise concealment, without limiting the possibilities of communication.
Now, no one could see or hear what was going on inside the luxurious suite.
Another feature of the Sphere was that it could immediately notify Idan if an outsider entered its area of operation.
Almost all of Coco's spatial storage was filled with treasures. There was only a small corner where her photo albums were lying, which had increased significantly in number during this time, as well as a mysterious dark egg that Coco had taken for herself.
Just like last time, all unnecessary armor, weapons, and other items were immediately sold to the System. The mana crystals and darkness element crystals, on the other hand, were neatly stacked for future use.
Unlike the others whose belongings were looted by Coco, Erza had more valuable items.
Among them, Idan found a pendant given by Sierra, and immediately put it away in his spatial storage. After all, it was a gift from Arabel's sworn older sister.
In addition, there were several accessories that could increase the stats of Dexterity, Stamina, and Mana.
"I think they will be useful in the future," Idan thought and put them aside.
As a result of the sale of unnecessary items, the number of System Points increased by 11,830.
After all the expenses and acquisitions, minus the 1,000 System Points Arabel spent on forming her third Star, the couple had 25,683 System Points left.
Idan was pleased looking at the number of System Points they had.
"Okay, Coco, put all the remaining things in your storage," Idan said, addressing Coco, and upon hearing this, she opened her eyes in surprise and stared at Idan.
All this time, she thought that she had finally gotten rid of all this junk, but Idan's words dispelled her illusions.
"I'm sorry, Coco, but our spatial storage was destroyed," Idan said regretfully. "Without him, we don't have a safe place to keep all these things safe. Could you keep them with you for a while longer?"
Coco shifted her gaze from Idan to the things, not immediately agreeing with his request. Her face immediately became a little offended.
Idan, watching this acting of the fox cub, already knew what she wanted.
"Okay, okay, — Idan said. "While you're keeping them, I'll give you some sweets, okay?"
Coco's face immediately lit up, and she quickly began to put all the remaining things in her storage before her master changed his mind.
Idan just shook his head at her antics.
When he was done, Idan stretched and realized that it was already the middle of the night.
Getting up, he went to the bathroom and, finding her, decided to enjoy a relaxing bath.
After filling the bathroom to the brim with hot water, Idan undressed without hesitation and entered it. He lay down and closed his eyes, feeling the warmth envelop his body. The water was so hot that if an ordinary person were in his place, he would immediately boil like meat soup.
Idan, too relaxed, dozed off and woke up only when the water was almost cold.
Quickly getting out of the tub and using the power of the fire element, he got rid of the moisture in the blink of an eye. After putting on some loose clothes, he left the bathroom.
It was still dark outside the window. After making sure that the Sphere was still actively working and there were no intruders, he sat down on a luxurious sofa, lay down, closed his eyes and began to reflect on what had happened and what else was going to happen.

Arabel sighed and opened her eyes. She had a satisfied smile on her face, although she felt a little exhausted and her body was covered in sweat.
"Success!" she said aloud.
Inside her soul space, where two stars used to shine, now a third one has appeared — small and colorless so far, but ready to conclude a third contract.
"After I conclude my third contract and stabilize it a little, I will be able to use the coupon to form my first constellation," Arabel thought happily, completely satisfied with the result.
Arabel stretched and noticed that it was already getting light outside the window.
"I really want to take a bath," she whispered, feeling her clothes sticking to her body due to sweat.
However, before Arabel could get up from her seat, a small rift opened in front of her, from which a little fox jumped out. She landed neatly in front of Arabel and looked at her with a sly smile.
Arabel saw that smile and smiled back.
"Are there any new photos?" she asked eagerly. Coco nodded quickly and started pulling out new photos of Idan that she had taken overnight.
There were especially many pictures of Idan taking a bath.
Arabel's nose nearly bled at the sight of these photos.
