For some reason, the magical beasts in the area were unusually sparse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Felyn looks so happy,” Adelina murmured, eyes locked onto the image inside the Scouting Seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Onscreen, Felyn’s attacks were explosive. With Zervanie’s buffs, even a First-Grade Seal in his hands had the force of a Fourth or Fifth-Grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was having the time of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His usual Shaky Bomb Seals were unstable, and higher-grade ones were too expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with Zervanie around, Felyn didn’t have to worry about any of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, fighting magical beasts alone was no easy task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those creatures, though weak, still had some fight in them. But after being driven here by Adelina and Viloti, their behavior had turned downright strange—like anxious monkeys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beasts would flee one moment, then charge back toward Felyn the next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their odd behavior went completely unnoticed by the two noble ladies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were too busy watching Felyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been so long since they’d seen him smile like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming here had been the right decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both girls found themselves thinking the same thing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only I could be the one standing by his side…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Viloti, are they heading our way?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A magical beast ran past Viloti, Felyn chasing behind it, covered in bruises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two groups were now dangerously close. Realizing this, Adelina could already see the magical beast sprinting toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quick, hide!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Felyn saw them, he’d be furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti and Adelina split up—staying together would only make them easier to spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiding behind a tree some distance away, Adelina watched the beast run past and disappear into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks, Zervanie!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn’s voice drifted over from behind the magical beast, reaching Viloti’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Zervanie’s buffs, he was moving far more swiftly, almost as fast as the creature he pursued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti pressed a hand gently to the tree trunk, watching Felyn’s figure pass right by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only I could be with this version of Felyn…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the real Felyn…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She caressed the bark, biting her lip, letting her long pink hair fall over her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though things had gotten better between her and Felyn lately, Viloti still felt a wall between them—an invisible barrier that kept their relationship from going deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn… is there something you're not telling me? Or… did I do something wrong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti would never ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Felyn didn’t want to talk, she had no right to press him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t want to burden or trouble him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if things stayed this way, she feared she’d never truly reach him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s the truth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lost in thought, Viloti didn’t hear the footsteps behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Viloti?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reacted instantly, drawing a Seal. The formation was nearly completed in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being approached unnoticed was dangerous. She activated a Defensive Seal without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A red barrier burst forth, forming a sphere around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did she turn to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, it’s me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Zervanie?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti tilted her head slightly, frowning at the unexpected appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zervanie was here… then Felyn might not be far behind…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frantically, Viloti searched the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop looking—Felyn’s not here,” Zervanie said, instantly seeing through her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who else could Viloti possibly care about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Judging by that reaction, youmustknow he’s with me! You’ve been spying on us, haven’t you?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I-I haven’t…” Viloti blinked, averting her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can’t even look me in the eye! You’re such a terrible liar!” Zervanie pointed accusingly. “How much did you see?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was mortified—what if Viloti had seen her awkward lunch moment with Felyn?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be beyond embarrassing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just your fight with Felyn this morning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zervanie let out a long sigh of relief, running her fingers through her silver-white hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing here anyway?” Viloti asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I picked up your location using a Seal and came to check.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the earlier battle, Zervanie had stuck close to Felyn as they chased down the magical beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t want to ruin his mood, so she hadn’t said things like, “Felyn, it’s too dangerous to keep chasing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she knew blindly chasing beasts came with risks. What if it had been a trap?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she used a Sixth-Grade Seal:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Domain Scan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could detect all active creatures within several kilometers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A perfect balance—keeping Felyn safe while letting him enjoy himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t spot any magical beasts… but shedidfind Viloti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, Viloti wouldn’t be detected so easily, but she had been deep in thought about Felyn and let her guard down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So he’s not here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That beast died just now. Felyn’s busy looking for the magic crystal. I came ahead alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zervanie walked up beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about you? You came to the dungeon for Felyn, didn’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“N-No! I’m here to train.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look me in the eye when you say that, Miss Viloti!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zervanie waved a fist. The way this noble girl acted, sheclearlycame here for Felyn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why were there girls who knew him everywhere? Even in the dungeon?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zervanie? There you are.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn peeked out from behind a tree near Viloti, spotting the silver-haired songstress—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Viloti, standing right across from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Viloti? What are you doing here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She froze, turning her head ever so slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d seen her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Viloti’s here for training, right?” Zervanie quickly stepped up to cover for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I spotted her using my Scouting Seal, so we met up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You should begrateful, Miss Viloti!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Zervanie’s kindness had an ulterior motive. If Felyn found out Viloti came herejustfor him, he might grow fonder of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Zervanie wasn’t about to let anyone raise Felyn’s favorability score—not in front of her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.” Felyn didn’t press the issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I found something strange over by that magical beast. Let’s check it out together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something strange?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zervanie walked past Viloti to stand beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah. I don’t know what it is either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti didn’t move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t sure… had Felyn actually invited her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she stood there beneath the tree, watching them walk away together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A leaf landed on her shoulder. She didn’t even notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Viloti? Aren’t you coming?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn had turned around. She was still standing there, watching him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“C-Can I?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d taken a small step forward—but needed to confirm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want to.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump thump thump thump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti ran over, her heels tapping against the ground, until she reached his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you come with anyone else? We can check it out together—I’m not really sure what that thing is either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She brushed a lock of hair from her lips and glanced to her left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was where Adelina was hiding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she said Adelina had come with her, Felyn would likely invite her too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…No. I’m alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn seemed to hear something faint from the left—like a tiny groan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned in that direction, but saw nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Was that just my imagination?” he muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1200,"2026-06-09T04:36:14.214Z",1,"novelbin.me","46d4ee2072db2f32de39a1432b3a10901e686991486832c44c0dc779d2b1206a","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-242","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-240",727,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-cover.jpg"]
