Compared to the second floor where three young ladies were present, the first floor was much quieter.
At the entrance, Felyn watched as Bernice also wanted to come in and hurriedly tried to stop her.
"Bernice? Although you helped me in the Dungeon before and I'm grateful, I have guests coming over later tonight, so tonight really isn't..."
"Let me guess—someone's coming to check whether you and Miss Daiyi are really a couple?"
"Yes, how did you know?"
Felyn suddenly realized.
"That person wouldn't happen to be you, would it?"
Connecting Bernice's school transfer timing, plus how she was so kind to him despite never meeting before, and why she came to protect him in the dungeon, everything made sense.
What a disaster, what a disaster!
Bernice was trying to seduce him to make him fall in love with her, thereby proving he and Daiyi weren't a real couple, was she?
This woman was too sinister.
Moreover, this approach seemed completely meaningless to Felyn.
Couldn't I like both Daiyi and Bernice at the same time?
Couldn't he be a bit fickle and take them all, becoming everyone's wings?
It seemed this Miss Bernice had never considered this possibility at all.
Too pure-love oriented.
"Please come in."
Felyn began brewing his fourth pot of tea tonight.
Bernice's gaze swept around the room, seeing the scene Daiyi had arranged in advance.
"You two are really sweet, even hanging your clothes together."
"Hm? What's strange about that? After all, when I come home, Miss Daiyi comes out to greet me, so I just hang them there casually."
Bernice went closer to the entrance hooks to examine them carefully—they indeed didn't look deliberately arranged.
"Bernice, since you can use Divine Arts, you must be from a Church, right?"
"I'm a Candidate Divine Child from the Mir Church, a branch of the Space Church."
Bernice didn't hide her identity and told Felyn directly.
"Candidate Divine Child?!"
Felyn hadn't expected Bernice's status to be so high. A Divine Child's position was like that of a king, and moreover, Divine Children represented divine will—absolutely no one would dare rebel against them.
"It's nothing special. I don't like this title, so I've always remained a candidate. I don't really want to become some Divine Child either."
Bernice sipped the tea Felyn handed her.
Her own Church was just a small one—speaking of status, that Miss Daiyi upstairs was the real big shot.
"Where is Miss Daiyi?"
Bernice put down her teacup.
"Uh, she should be sleeping upstairs at this time? She was a bit tired today and fell asleep. Should I go call her down for you?"
"No need, I'll go find her myself."
Bernice ignored Felyn and headed upstairs on her own.
"Wait, Bernice, Miss Daiyi might not be convenient right now. Let me call her down."
"Is Miss Daiyi inconvenient, or are you afraid I'll discover that your house is full of beautiful girls everywhere?"
Bernice stepped forward, her expression becoming very sweet.
"Senior Felyn, you're really quite the playboy, aren't you? Having me isn't enough—you've stuffed three beautiful girls in your house."
"Three? Bernice, don't joke around. Did you see wrong?"
Bernice's expression returned to its previous doll-like appearance.
"Whether I saw something wrong or not, we'll know when we go to the second floor."
What to do! Major crisis!
Felyn watched Bernice climb the stairs step by step, feeling extremely nervous.
He couldn't beat her in a fight, and he couldn't run away either.
He hoped there was only Daiyi in the room.
Felyn followed Bernice upstairs and discovered that the nameplate originally hanging on Daiyi's door was now hanging on his own room door.
Oh no.
Viloti went to the wrong room!
"Miss Bernice, my room is here. Let me help you open the door." Felyn shouted loudly, trying to give the girls inside a warning.
Adelina suddenly woke up from Felyn's shout.
Bernice?
Who was that?
Adelina got up with a confused expression, rubbing her eyes, her rose-tea colored long hair still looking sleepy.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer and the conversation between two people outside the door, Adelina finally became fully awake!
Her behavior would be considered perverted by anyone who saw it!
Running to a boy's bed to sleep was really too inappropriate.
If this got out, the Claude family's reputation would be ruined!
No way! I have to hide quickly.
Adelina looked around and found the room was too small—there was virtually nowhere to hide.
In her panic, she tried the wardrobe again and found it opened this time.
Adelina had no time to wonder why the wardrobe that had been locked just moments ago could suddenly open now. The sound of the door handle turning urged her to quickly hide inside.
At the same time, the room door opened.
"Miss Bernice? Should I tidy up first? The room is a bit messy..."
The chaotic scene Felyn had imagined didn't appear. The entire room was clean and empty except for the bed looking like someone had slept in it.
Daiyi wasn't there either?
"It seems Miss Daiyi isn't here."
Bernice glanced at the wardrobe and sat down in front of it with a mischievous smile.
"Since Miss Daiyi isn't here, let me ask you some questions first."
Bernice crossed her legs, a wicked smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
"Felyn, I heard some rumors at school."
"What rumors?"
"I heard you and Viloti have already done it?"
The wardrobe indeed made a slight noise, as if someone had suddenly moved.
Felyn looked at the wardrobe while refuting: "Those are all made-up stories—how could that be possible? Viloti is a young lady of the Silafiel family. How could she casually have that kind of relationship with me?"
"Oh, then what's your relationship with Lady Adelina, the Student Council President of Lanchester Academy?"
"Lady Adelina is good to me. For my father's sake, she took the trouble to make me a student council assistant."
"But I heard you got this opportunity through your body."
The wardrobe made an even louder noise, as if someone was suppressing anger.
"Bernice, that rumor is a bit ridiculous. Lady Adelina and I rarely even see each other at school. Moreover, Lady Adelina isn't that kind of person. Where did you hear this from?"
Bernice nodded thoughtfully and stood up, placing her hand on the wardrobe door.
On the other side of the wardrobe, three pairs of hands were cooperatively holding the door shut.
Wait, three pairs of hands?
Adelina suddenly realized there were Viloti and an unfamiliar girl hiding beside her.
"Viloti?!"
Adelina whispered in shock.
She suddenly remembered what she had done in Felyn's room just now.
"Did you see everything?"
Viloti glared at her coldly: "I didn't see anything except you acting like a pervert, sniffing Felyn's bed and sleeping on it."
But that was seeing everything!
Adelina had now transformed into a stone statue—if someone threw her out the window right now, she wouldn't even resist.
While the two were bickering, Bernice suddenly pulled open the wardrobe door.
"Bernice, inside are just some of my clothes..." Felyn hurried to stop her.
But it was too late.
The moment the wardrobe door opened, Bernice and Felyn saw three girls hiding in a wardrobe full of revealing maid outfits.
All three froze in place, as if they had been hit by an Immobilization Divine Art.
