Supreme Husband System! & Supreme Wife System!

Chapter 27 - 27: A group of adventurers

The couple was still in a state of shock from the recent incident. The scene they witnessed kept coming back to their minds. This bloodbath, where their doppelgangers became victims, deeply wounded their consciousness. It was especially hard to see an almost identical corpse.

Overcoming fatigue and pain, they followed the stranger in silence. They had no idea what lay ahead, but they had no choice but to take the risk and trust him.

Soon, they came to a small open space where the camp was set up. There were three more people in adventurer's clothes waiting for them: two women and one man.

Noticing Nemo and the couple, a woman with long green hair and pointed ears came out to meet them. She was dressed in adventurer's clothes in shades of green, as was her hair. Her expression was worried, but when she saw that the stranger was okay, she calmed down. Then she turned her gaze to Idan and Arabel.

The woman's gaze was wary and laced with suspicion. Idan and Arabel felt as if their bodies were bound by a mysterious force, not allowing them to move.

The stranger remained silent all this time. Approaching the woman, he just slapped her on the shoulder and shook his head. Only then did she calm down, and Idan and Arabel breathed a sigh of relief when the pressure eased.

"Who are you?" the stranger asked. At that moment, two more people appeared behind her. Both had short brown hair, and unlike the woman with green hair, they looked like ordinary people.

"My name is Idan, and this is my childhood friend and..." Idan suddenly stopped, as if hesitating to say something important.

"And?" the woman in green asked.

"... and she's my fiancee Arabel," Idan said in embarrassment. Arabel blushed when she heard Idan call her his fiancee, but she quickly regained her composure.

This did not escape the attentive eyes of the woman in green. It was obvious that they were both embarrassed to admit it, but it seemed like it was true.

"A few days ago, we found ourselves inside this forest and since then we have been wandering in

If they were able to attract Izzy's attention, then they are not just adventurers as they seem at first glance. After all, to attract the attention of the spirit dwelling in Nemo is a real achievement. As an elf, Eulalia sincerely respected spirits, and the news that this seemingly ordinary couple was able to attract the attention of a spirit deeply impressed her.

Evening came, and the sun began to sink below the horizon. The group decided to postpone their business and spend the night here to give the couple a break. A big role in this decision was played by what Eulalia learned from Nemo. She wanted to wait for Idan and Arabel to wake up and talk to them.

They built a bonfire and started cooking dinner. Unlike Idan and Arabel, they weren't afraid of the monsters living in this part of the forest, so the atmosphere was relaxed.

Soon, their surroundings were filled with the pleasant aroma of cooked food. Idan and Arabel, awakened by the alluring scent, felt their stomachs growl with hunger.

Seeing the couple wake up and hearing their stomachs rumble, the group laughed merrily. When Idan woke up, he realized that he had fallen asleep himself. He did not remember how Eulalia had cast a spell on him, and now he felt guilty for not being able to fulfill his role and succumbing to sleep.

"Come and join us," the young girl, Ella, suggested.

"Yes, let's join in!" a guy named Radik supported her.

Idan and Arabel, glancing at each other, decided not to refuse their invitation and both joined the meal. They started eating in silence, and the taste of the prepared dish amazed them. For the past few days, they had been eating only smoked meat and dishes that Arabel was trying to cook. But it was completely different—so delicious that they couldn't even hold back their tears while enjoying the meal.

Seeing their tears, the group smiled. According to them, they guessed that the couple had been wandering through the forest for several days and had not eaten normal food.

"Idan, Arabel, could you tell us in detail about your origins and how you ended up in this forest?" asked Eulalia when they finished eating.

Idan and Arabel were already ready for this conversation. During the meal, they exchanged thoughts and decided to hide their true identity, and instead tell the legend they had made up for them in the identity card they had received in the adventurer's kit.

"We come from a small village on the continent of Ludelia. Since childhood, we dreamed of becoming adventurers, and finally our dream came true — we came to the continent of Labyrinths to try our luck, conquer dungeons and earn a living," Idan said sheepishly. He was overcome with a sense of unease that he had so blatantly lied to his rescuers.

"And? How and when did you end up here?" asked Eulalia curiously. The others were also looking at them with interest.

"We fell into a spatial crack and ended up in this forest four days ago, without even realizing what had happened. We don't know where we are. Can you tell us?" Idan asked, asking the question that had been bothering them since they arrived at this place.

After hearing their story, the whole group was amazed. Idan and Arabel couldn't understand why they were looking at them so strangely.

"How is this possible?" blurted out Ella when she recovered from her surprise. But, noticing Eulalia's stern look, she quickly covered her mouth with her hands.

Eulalia glanced at Ella and turned to the couple.:

"I don't understand why you're lying to us after all we've done for you. One of us even saved your life."

The abrupt change in Eulalia's behavior startled Idan and Arabel.

"This place is called Limbo. It is a vast space, independent of the rest of the world. And all this space is a prison. The only way to end up here is to be engulfed by the dungeon on the Labyrinth continent if you don't manage to leave it before the "reset" moment. Locals claim that there is no way out of here. No one has ever managed to leave Limbo."

Silence fell after Eulalia's words. Idan and Arabel finally found out the name of the place they were in. As the System said, it was an independent space. But they could not even imagine that they would end up among the prisoners of the dungeon.
