Viloti gripped the seventh-order seal tightly in her hand—powerful enough to blow up the entire coffee shop—like a drowning person clutching at a straw.
This seal was given to her by her father for life-saving purposes. Even the entire Silafiel family only had a few of these; they were very difficult to obtain.
She had only used it once in her entire life—on that day she saw Felyn and Adeline in the dungeon.
That time, Viloti's father had severely scolded her and confined her for three days.
Viloti had reflected properly and wouldn't be so willful again.
But it seemed Viloti's reflection hadn't been thorough enough.
Felyn, a girl, looking for him.
Viloti didn't dislike Felyn chatting and laughing with other girls.
She was afraid that Felyn would never pay attention to her again.
If he was seduced away by some bad woman, she might never see Felyn again for the rest of her life.
If she encountered a girl who, like herself, wanted to lock Felyn in her house forever, that would be terrible.
If anyone was going to lock him up, it could only be her—no one else was allowed.
Viloti's gaze moved back and forth between the staircase and the clock hanging on the wall.
Four minutes and twenty-five seconds had passed, and Felyn still hadn't come back up.
He might just be chatting with that girl.
Or he might have already been lured to that girl's house.
I need to save Felyn.
Viloti stood up from her seat, put the seventh-order seal in her pocket, and looked down from the staircase entrance.
Felyn and that girl were still downstairs.
Hearing Felyn's voice, Viloti felt much more at ease.
However, that girl also made Viloti feel a sense of crisis.
The black hair with red highlights gave her cute, pure face a touch of elegance.
The girl had a good figure. The top button of her shirt wasn't fastened—if she bent over slightly, everything would be visible.
She had tied her school uniform jacket around her waist, looking somewhat rebellious. But combined with her lip gloss sparkling under the lights, she seemed like a cute young lady.
Viloti had to admit in her heart that this was a cute beautiful girl capable of seducing Felyn.
After the two of them said a few words, they actually left through the door together.
Where were they going?
Viloti held her breath and gripped the railing tightly. After they had walked away for a while, she ran downstairs.
"Eh, customer, is there something wrong?"
The staff member saw Viloti trying to run out of the shop and quickly stopped her—the bill hadn't been paid yet.
"Those two just now—where were they going?"
Hearing this question, the staff member showed an understanding expression.
"Hehe, it would be better if you didn't know about this, customer."
Viloti's face darkened.
What kind of expression was that? So annoying—she wanted to blow up this shop right now.
The sky grew darker, but the entire Homhot district became brighter.
Felyn walked together with this beautiful girl who called herself Bernice, attracting the attention of many people around them.
"Young sir, would you like to have your beautiful girlfriend try our latest [Serafina] necklace? Your girlfriend's temperament is really super..."
The shop clerk who had tried to sell to Felyn and Viloti earlier stopped talking.
She still remembered this good-looking young man.
But only an hour had passed—why was there a different beautiful girl beside him?
You change girlfriends faster than we stock new products in our shop.
"The shop clerk thought we were lovers."
Bernice lightly covered her mouth with her hand, smiling to herself with curved eyes.
"So we look like such a good match in other people's eyes." She covered her chest with her right hand, bending over and leaning close, looking up at Felyn's eyes from below.
In those moist eyes was hidden a young girl's fluttering heart.
She moved close to Felyn's side, the perfume she had deliberately applied behind her ears giving off a hormonal scent.
By Bernice's estimation, Felyn should be about to fall for her by now.
She had made up an excuse saying she was a new transfer student, also a member of the study group, who wanted to give a gift to her senior Viloti from the same group, and asked Felyn to accompany her.
The young man beside her hadn't noticed anything unusual and had readily agreed to her request.
Bernice had never done anything so intimate with a man before. She had done intensive training before coming to Seiwa. Although it was her first time, she felt this kind of thing wasn't particularly difficult.
Within a week, she could have Felyn actively coming to her side.
Conquering Felyn would be as easy as turning her hand.
Felyn showed a slightly shy smile—he was currently playing the role of an innocent young man.
From the first moment he saw Bernice, he realized she was just acting.
Even her chest was padded.
He didn't expose her, partly because he really did want to pick out a gift for Viloti. After all, she was helping him with tutoring, and he didn't want to owe her a favor. Bernice could also give him some opinions—picking gifts was the most troublesome thing, after all.
On the other hand, he also wanted to use this opportunity to spar with Bernice, to see what it felt like to be served. To review from the user's perspective, grasp core user needs, and improve service quality.
Learning and reviewing every moment—if I don't earn this money, who should!
As for why Bernice was acting in front of him, Felyn wasn't quite sure yet.
"Lovers? If we became lovers, is there anything Miss Bernice would want to do?"
Felyn's profile was very handsome.
The moonlight and lamplight made his clear jawline even more distinct in Bernice's eyes.
"Eh?"
Bernice hadn't expected Felyn to ask this—the books hadn't taught her this.
"Probably just staying at home together doing nothing. Don't look at me like this—I actually prefer staying at home alone."
Wait, this is bad!
Bernice suddenly felt something was wrong.
The question asked by this young man with an innocent smile had made her subconsciously admit that they were already lovers.
And she had actually actively thought about life with him after becoming lovers.
Could this person be an expert?
Bernice found it hard to connect "expert" with the young man in front of her.
During their verbal sparring, they had unknowingly arrived at the doll shop.
In their earlier conversation, both had agreed on giving Viloti a doll as a gift.
The shop clerk had heard these words and, thinking it was a surprise for Viloti, hadn't mentioned it to Viloti.
The kind shop clerk didn't know she had almost ignited Viloti.
Felyn looked at the dolls on the shelf and casually played with them.
He had to admit, dolls were the one thing he didn't understand well.
Felyn had no idea what standards girls used to consider dolls cute.
Some dolls he thought were incredibly ugly were unexpectedly popular with girls—like that pink fuzzy pig head he had given to Adeline.
Meanwhile, dolls he found cute, girls would think weren't that cute at all.
But if Bernice was beside him, he probably wouldn't make mistakes.
He should ask for her opinion.
"Miss Bernice, do you think this is cute?"
Felyn picked up two yellow slime dolls and held them next to his face.
When Bernice turned around and saw Felyn like this, her heart suddenly tightened, and she gripped the doll beside her.
Cute...
What the two didn't notice was that behind the glass door, a pair of amber eyes was staring intently at them.
"Blow you all up..."
The pink-haired girl muttered to herself.
