After returning from the dungeon, Felyn only rested for one day.
Even encountering a demon wouldn't excuse him from life's demands.
He had to support his household, pay debts, and cover his sister's medical treatment.
Too bad this world had no lottery god church—he'd definitely join if it existed.
This week, all the young ladies seemed much quieter, making Felyn somewhat uncomfortable. It felt like the calm before a storm.
Time quickly arrived at Thursday.
Afternoon sunlight scattered across the campus.
Several girls in sports shorts on the playground held rackets, sweat dampening the loose hair at their necks.
On benches under tree shade, groups of girls sat together discussing romance topics, faces all flushed red with charming laughter.
Several couples walked past Felyn shoulder to shoulder, occasionally playfully fighting.
Felyn sat alone on a bench, watching everyone else on campus seemingly having things to do.
Only he was idle and somewhat bored.
Daiyi had said someone would come home tonight to check if they were really lovers.
Though Felyn worried whether Daiyi could truly act well, he'd completed everything possible.
The rest was up to the great divine lords.
Besides tonight's Daiyi, no other clients needed service today.
Felyn leaned against the bench back, looking up at the sky.
He hadn't experienced such leisurely time in ages—really wasn't used to it.
"Felyn, so you're here."
Rose-tea colored hair blocked the sky like a gentle curtain.
Adeline leaned down, looking at him with a smile.
Today she wore Lanchester Academy's uniform—the deep blue outfit displayed her alluring figure, the chest bow tied meticulously.
Those blue-gray eyes shimmered gently in sunlight, her fair face carrying an elegant smile.
"May I sit here?"
Felyn pulled out a handkerchief, wiping dust from the bench.
"Lady Adeline, what's the matter?"
"I came to discuss upcoming student council plans." Adeline produced a notebook, placing it on her knees to flip through.
Black stockings under her skirt wrapped around long legs, gleaming with fine luster in afternoon sunlight.
She crossed her legs slightly—Felyn glimpsed snow-white thigh.
"Since this school celebration will invite many people, our student council must invite numerous social celebrities and famous figures."
"In my view, none are as important as Lady Adeline." Felyn blurted out.
Oh no! Being with Adeline unconsciously triggered his client-simp mechanism.
Adeline's fingers suddenly stopped on the notebook, rose-tea hair swaying slightly.
Her ear tips quietly flushed, quickly hidden by long hair.
Such a sudden confession made Adeline's heart race.
Really, with so many people around...
Can't you save such things for when we're alone?
She forced composure, reviewing the notebook.
"This is the most requested guest by our school—songstress Miss Zervanie. She seems super famous lately. Our school has her support posters everywhere—I see many girls at your school also like her."
Seeing this name, many unpleasant memories suddenly flooded Felyn's mind.
"I'm arranging time with her now. Once scheduled, you'll accompany me to discuss school celebration matters."
Adeline closed the notebook, packing it away.
She had reasons for this.
Partly to give herself and Felyn time together—no, to give Felyn time with her.
Partly thinking Felyn might also be this popular songstress's fan—bringing him to meet Miss Zervanie might make him very happy.
"I'm going too?"
"Mm mm, you're my assistant. Don't worry—I scheduled during our service period."
Seeing Felyn's shocked expression, Adeline secretly rejoiced.
Seemed Felyn was getting excited about meeting Zervanie—his expression was stunned.
Felyn was lucky liking such a thoughtful, kind girl who always considered him.
Felyn was indeed stunned, just not from surprise and excitement.
From fear.
Popular songstress Zervanie Einzbern was his former client.
When their contract ended, Zervanie was just a somewhat famous songstress. Half a year later, she'd grown into one of the Siveshus Empire's most representative songstresses.
When ending the contract, slight problems occurred, creating unpleasantness.
This girl who appeared energetic to the public wanted to permanently freeload off him.
She wanted Felyn to marry into her family.
Felyn had refused immediately.
What a joke—I'm everyone's public resource. You want to put a lock on me?
Felyn quickly cut contact with Zervanie, completely disappearing from her sight.
But reportedly, she still hadn't given up this half year, constantly seeking Felyn's whereabouts.
Fortunately, Felyn had disguised his identity then, avoiding discovery.
But now he'd actively appear before her, together with Adeline!
Felyn felt despair.
Seiwa was clearly so large—why did his clients always gather like magnets?
During service periods, Adeline had rights to freely command him—Felyn couldn't refuse her requests.
He could only wear a mask or simple disguise, hoping to fool Zervanie.
The sun embraced everything worldly, making Adeline appear even more beautiful in its illumination.
Adeline leaned against the bench, noticing couples embracing and playing around them.
Realizing she and Felyn would appear as lovers to outsiders, her lashes drooped slightly, hands gripping her skirt hem somewhat embarrassedly.
But this felt really comfortable.
Morning bath and fresh uniform change.
Lunch of her beloved Kukudelia cupcakes.
Proposals she'd worked nights on finally adopted by school.
Afternoon sunlight dispelled all worldly coldness, warmly shining on her body.
Felyn beside her would love her forever, fulfilling any willful requests.
Weary wind reached Adeline.
Her head nodded forward several times before willfully falling asleep.
Adeline's body leaned slightly toward Felyn, her head resting on his shoulder.
"Adeline?"
Felyn spoke softly, realizing this young lady had fallen asleep from exhaustion.
He squinted, seeing Adeline's eyes gently closed, lips even curved in comfortable arcs.
Let her sleep ten minutes like this, Felyn thought.
This wasn't safe at the academy—Viloti might discover them anytime.
But ten minutes should be fine.
Adeline's head nuzzled Felyn's shoulder, softly whimpering.
Ten minutes later.
Felyn didn't wake Adeline.
Because he'd also fallen asleep under her influence.
Rose-tea hair fell before Adeline's face like a gentle curtain, shielding her features.
Only when the lunch break ending bell rang did they gradually wake.
Adeline rubbed her eyes, using fingers to hook out loose hair by her mouth.
She realized she'd slept so long!
"I also slept so long!" Felyn checked the time, also feeling gloomy.
What happened to just ten minutes?
"Wait! Felyn!"
Seeing Felyn's shoulder somewhat moist, Adeline pressed his head down, preventing him from looking at her.
She'd drooled on Felyn's shoulder!
Adeline was about to cry, blue-gray eyes covered with thin mist.
Wuu wuu wuu, so embarrassing.
"Felyn, your uniform here got dirty somehow. I'll have someone bring you a replacement immediately."
"Eh?" Felyn couldn't turn around—Adeline had him in a chokehold.
...
The dismissal bell echoed across campus as sunset's afterglow reddened the teaching building windows.
Students gradually left classrooms, ending this peaceful day.
In the grade director's office.
"Teacher Sofia, I..." Viloti's voice carried hesitation.
Sunset streaming through windows reminded her of Felyn's farewell day.
Textbooks, desks—everything visible was dyed red, even memories tinged with faint blush.
"Miss Viloti, it's already this time—don't back down."
Sofia packed her things while patting Viloti's shoulder.
Tonight they'd go to Felyn's house, using tutoring as an excuse for privacy.
Why didn't Sofia notify Felyn in advance? Last time at Homhot taught her Felyn was quite stubborn.
Sometimes slight external pressure had miraculous effects.
"Shall we go?"
Today Viloti wore a white camisole dress, hem lightly hanging above her knees, revealing slender calves.
Two thin straps draped over her shoulders, exposing fair shoulders and delicate collarbones.
White lace stockings wrapped her long legs, edges decorated with tiny bows.
Pink hair draped over shoulders with slightly curled tips.
Seeing Viloti's shy appearance, Sofia couldn't help embracing her.
That stinky boy Felyn—Viloti was so fragrant and soft, hugging her felt so cuddly. He'd really luck out today!
"Won't Felyn blame me?"
"Blame you? My dear Miss Viloti, do you know what you're like now? Like a beautifully wrapped New Year's gift delivered to Felyn's house—he'll eagerly unwrap you. How could he be angry?"
Sofia shook her head. This young lady didn't know how alluring she was today.
Like every young man's ideal girl—pure yet tinged with temptation.
Viloti pressed her chest tightly, moist eyes looking at the bow by her feet.
"Let's go, Miss. Felyn can hardly wait."
