Chapter 386 : From Now On, Please Take Care Of Me.

Felyn could feel Daiyi's palm trembling slightly, and the temperature of her cool fingertips slowly rising.

Their body temperatures merged, warming her heart.

"Humans are social animals. No one can escape the constraints of society."

Felyn pulled Daiyi's hand, slowly lowering it.

"Since we live in a society, it's inevitable to have family and friends. Of course, I'm an exception. I have no family and no friends." Felyn gave Daiyi a small smile, watching as her gaze remained fixed on him.

"So before doing certain things, you need to consider them, consider their safety, consider whether they will be affected by you. When it comes to a sensitive topic like gods, you must be especially cautious."

Felyn hadn't experienced what Daiyi went through back then, but he could imagine the scene.

"But correspondingly, true family and friends will also worry about you. Your father will secretly support your research and take care of your life. I believe those friends of yours will also secretly pray for you in Seiva on some nights."

"They don't hate you; they just can't show their concern for you openly due to the pressure of reality."

"So you're wrong. You thought everyone in the world hated you, but in fact, there have always been people silently caring for you."

Felyn saw tears welling up in the corners of Daiyi's eyes, and crystals of emotion clinging to her slightly trembling eyelashes.

Daiyi didn't need someone to comfort her by saying, "It's all okay, everything you did was right."

Such comfort was ineffective.

Daiyi needed someone to negate her past, someone to point out her mistakes, and then...

And then welcome a brand new future.

"But the fact that you were willing to return to the Church of Truth for your family, friends, and past unpleasant memories, willing to make up for past mistakes by choosing to become the Divine Child and let your will perish, doesn't that prove you're not a selfish person, not someone who would disregard everything for your own research and obsession?"

"They can understand you and are willing to care for you in secret. So you must live on well, continue to do what you want to do, and then... then when you succeed, when you can stand in the light, repay them properly."

A shooting star streaked across Daiyi's face. Tears, imprinted with all the stars in the night sky, slowly soaked the strands of hair stuck to the corner of her mouth.

Her chest rose and fell slowly, silently venting the emotions in her heart.

Daiyi's experience was a problem that all pioneers had to face.

Ostracized by the world, abandoned by family.

If a person with an extremely strong will could achieve results even when everyone opposed them, that would naturally be great.

But it would also be painful.

Felyn didn't want that to happen to Daiyi.

At this moment, the principal's speech was also reaching its final conclusion.

His voice echoed through the night sky via the sigils, solemn and distant.

"Whether you choose the stars or the abyss, may you always retain the courage you have now to look up at the fireworks."

"May you all, under the witness of Seiva..."

The largest golden firework whistled into the sky, leaving a dazzling golden afterimage.

Daiyi's black hair was completely blown loose by the wind, tumbling behind her like satin.

"Felyn..."

The entire night sky was lit up like day by that firework. Countless blooming fireworks, accompanied by the principal's words, pushed the school festival to its climax.

"May you all, under the witness of Seiva, begin a new chapter."

The shadows of the two people on the ground merged, constantly changing colors under the rendering of the fireworks.

The tips of high heels and leather shoes brushed against each other. The black evening gown rested on his trousers.

Daiyi's head rested lightly on Felyn's chest. Her whole body leaned against him, enjoying a long-awaited comfort.

Felyn gently held Daiyi, looking up at the fireworks that gathered the wishes of countless people.

Knowing that tens of millions of people in Seiva were looking up at this starry sky at the same time felt somewhat magical.

The distance between people was very close, yet at the same time, very far.

"Daiyi..."

Felyn gently wiped the tears from the corners of Daiyi's eyes with his thumb and hooked away the strands of hair stuck to her lips.

"Actually, you're not the only one."

He ruffled Daiyi's hair, looking at her somewhat puzzled eyes.

"My divine revelation is Heromir. I can see the existence of divine chains."

Daiyi's pupils contracted abruptly.

"When a sigil or divine art is activated, I can see a divine chain descending from the heavens. The power of the gods is transmitted through the divine chain and then unleashed through the sigil or divine art."

Felyn decided to tell Daiyi about this.

If there was anyone who could answer the doubts in his heart, anyone who could help him make better use of Heromir's power, then without a doubt, Daiyi was the best candidate.

Only she could ignore the interference caused by the sanctity of the gods; only she was willing to explore different possibilities.

Hearing Felyn's words, Daiyi's lips parted slightly, her breath catching for a moment. Her whole body unconsciously pressed closer to Felyn, her fingers unconsciously clenching his lapel.

Her eyelashes fluttered rapidly, as if to confirm whether she had misheard.

"So, the power of the gods might really be triggered by a specific procedure, just as you thought. The path you're on might be the truth."

The fireworks reflected on Daiyi's frozen expression.

It took her a long time to finally understand what Felyn meant.

"R-really?! Really?!"

She wrapped her arms around Felyn's neck, stood on her tiptoes, and buried her head in his shoulder.

Felyn could feel Daiyi's scorching breath and fierce heartbeat at such a close distance.

"Yes, but I don't know if gods exist, and I don't really care. I just want to tell you that I'm a heretic just like you. You're not alone on this path."

"I've never cared about your theories, nor do I care if gods exist. I only care about my clients. The client's request is an order."

(I only care about you.)

This sentence echoed in Daiyi's mind.

"If you're afraid that others will still stay away from you, then... then you can try to rely on me more. As long as the contract doesn't end, I won't leave you anyway."

"No matter what you become, whether you respect the gods or not, I won't leave you. Besides, I'm for sale anyway. Discrimination and all that, I don't care about it at all."

‘I already have a Heretical God and the Demon King's daughter by my side. Plus, I can see the divine chains and have used the "Shake-Shake" sigil.’

‘It seems... I'm even more disrespectful to the gods than Daiyi?’

Felyn could see the blush slowly spreading on Daiyi's neck and hear her rapid breathing.

An ambiguous atmosphere now surrounded them. Felyn sensed that something was not right.

In a moment of carelessness, it seemed he had said too much just now.

His occupational hazard was acting up again!

He scratched his head, trying to alleviate this pink, awkward atmosphere.

"D-Daiyi, my words just now were pretty impressive, right? Did I manage to capture your heart?" Felyn wanted to make his usual cruel joke with Daiyi.

Daiyi clutched Felyn's collar tightly, closed her eyes, and entrusted her body to him.

This time, she did not retort as she usually did.

"Mmm..."

(Felyn, just let me... study you thoroughly.)

(From now on, please take care of me.)

"Oh, human fireworks are really beautiful."

Eitani, like everyone else present, looked up at the splendid sky.

Felyn's proposal was very tempting to her. Being able to go to school in the Royal Capital District and experience student life was something she had always dreamed of.

But her pride as the Demon King's daughter prevented her from immediately agreeing to this human's request.

Pride was one thing, but her body was another.

By the time Eitani came to her senses, she had unintentionally walked to the building of the VIP room.

That was the last place Felyn had been.

Felyn's body was stained with Eitani's demonic power, so she could know his location.

"How did I end up here..."

Only after coming to her senses did Eitani realize something was wrong. Do I really want to sign a contract with Felyn that badly?!

"It's not that I want to sign a contract with Felyn. I just feel it's not good to keep him hanging. It's disrespectful. Even if I'm going to refuse, I should tell him clearly to his face."

Eitani comforted herself, but her gaze remained fixed on the entrance of the building.

The entrance was heavily guarded, so Eitani naturally couldn't get in.

But she was subconsciously waiting for someone to come out.

Soon, there was movement at the entrance of the building.

A petite young lady rushed out in a hurry, her pinkish-purple long hair floating in the air, looking very beautiful.

Then, behind her followed one, two... a total of four beautiful girls!

"Didn't I just see these people..." she muttered to herself, watching the group of young ladies run in the direction of the wishing well.

"Are they... are they all Felyn's girlfriends?!"

Eitani slapped her thigh and followed closely behind them.

(There's a good show to watch again!)
