Theo said with a smile, "Oh, it's beautiful! But, not quite as gorgeous as its saleswoman!"
Ariana was surprised by the sudden words from this unknown man. She didn't expect to be complimented like that, but she wasn't interested in anyone but Theo, so…
Ariana pretended not to hear what he said and insisted on selling the spear quickly so that this weird guy would leave.
"You need to sign these documents if the Young Master is really interested in buying this spear," Ariana explained.
Theo was surprised that he was ignored. As he followed her to the counter, Theo said with a charming, flirtatious smile: "Can you tell me your name, oh, beautiful attendant?"
Sighing heavily, Ariana was feeling very uncomfortable, but for some unknown reason, she didn't find this man unpleasant. That was what was truly surprising for her, even though he was clearly willing to woo her.
But for now, it was utterly irrelevant. For Ariana, the only person she's interested in is Theo! So she couldn't help but sigh, finding it very troublesome.
Eventually, she thought it best to state, "Young Master, this humble attendant, is named Ariana."
"Oh, what beautiful name! Lovely!" Theo smiled.
Ariana clicked her tongue and said, "Thanks…" Soon after, she turned and shot towards the counter, wanting to be rid of this annoying customer as quickly as possible.
The other girls from the Orphanage were watching this scene with glee. Ariana was the one who had always bothered them in the past, so watching her bothered by someone else was genuinely amusing.
Theo approached the counter while holding the spear. He set it on the table and said, "Before I buy it, I have to say this: please carry my child!"
"Ehhh?!" Ariana thought she heard it wrong… she didn't expect anyone to actually say that upfront, even though they barely knew each other.
Shina, Yuki, Zaika, Zaira and the Orphanage girls were also surprised by this.
With a wry smile, Ariana said, "What kind of joke is that?! The Young Master must be playing with this humble attendant."
Theo smiled in his heart. With a solemn expression, he told her, "I fell in love with you at first sight, so I want you to be my wife and carry my children!"
'Haven't I heard that somewhere?' Shina wondered with doubt. She was sure she'd heard someone say something very similar before.
Yuki who heard it too almost spoke up but soon covered her mouth with her hand as a mischievous smile appeared on her face. Now she understood why Little Yui seemed to be so familiar with this man…
Theo said with a firm tone, "Of course I'm not kidding, I'm very serious about this!"
Ariana sighed and said, "Excuse me, I already like someone else!"
With a sad expression, Theo said, "Really?! That's a pity…"
After signing all the paperwork, and as he was about to leave the store, Theo turned around and said, "But even if you're a foster daughter, you're still a daughter! That's why you can't stay with your father…"
Ariana raised her eyebrows, and began to think this person was genuinely crazy! When did she say that the person she likes is her stepfather?
Some girls from the Orphanage who experienced Ariana and Theo's theatre previously began to remember something and thought it was very likely that they were right, especially with Theo's closing words…
Shina and Yuki also noticed but chose not to say anything.
Ariana, on the other hand, as she was being targeted by Theo's phrasing in another appearance, did not think about it very deeply. All she wanted was for this man to leave as soon as possible… So she did not begin to believe that this individual was actually Theo!
After leaving the store with the spear in hand, Theo performed a free demonstration for those passing by, pretending to just be testing it out. And then he started out towards the City's exit.
A while after Theo had already left the weapon shop, Ariana was beginning to feel a little doubtful. She wondered if she really didn't know this man… then she remembered his parting words as he left the store and soon she understood.
"That, that… was Theo?" Ariana's forehead began to drip beads of sweat… "If it was really him…" She decided not to think about that possibility, because if it was really that… she really missed a huge opportunity…
But the moment she looked at the other girls, and saw them looking at her with a pitying look… she was now almost entirely sure that it was really Theo!

After leaving City, Theo, with his current appearance, made a new video. This time he was fighting a raging beast, and then posted it on the Internet. Of course, in this video, he had restricted his cultivation to the 3rd Layer of the Higher Student Kingdom.
After that, he returned to the City and changed his appearance only 2 more times and thought it was enough to promote the store again.
He then returned to the Weapon Shop in his original appearance. He was now wearing a new set of clean clothes, it was a beautiful gray kimono with a golden dragon drawn on the back.
The moment he entered, Ariana was gazing at him, perplexed, taking a deep breath, she approached and said, "I accept!"
Theo frowned and asked, "Huh? What do you accept?
Not expecting this answer from Theo, she was a little confused, but soon Ariana composed herself and replied, "Carrying your child, of course!"
