Others team up to subjugate monsters—naturally they don't want to bring along an extra person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucia handed Felyn a bronze badge while speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She no longer dared place badges on her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy Felyn definitely wasn't as innocent as he appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But just now there was someone who looked very capable and also seeking teammates. You could try your luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucia quietly pointed toward a girl sitting at a nearby table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wore a silver-white mask, only revealing her lower face, thin lips pressed together without a trace of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seal patterns were carved into her breastplate, glowing faintly with her movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white seal gun was strapped diagonally across her back, its elongated barrel gleaming coldly behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This person obviously looks very capable—would they team up with trash like me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who knows? I think you're quite popular with girls—maybe you could charm her too.\" Lucia joked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might as well try—it couldn't get worse anyway. With this mindset, Felyn steeled himself to approach and greet her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss, I heard you're also looking for teammates. I wonder if I'd be suitable? Don't worry, I won't cause trouble—you can take all the spoils, how about it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't kill many magical beasts anyway—he just wanted to pass the exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through her mask, Bernice slowly looked Felyn up and down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment she seemed like a different person—unlike her cute demeanor in front of Felyn, even her breathing felt cold, emanating an unapproachable aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded, her armor making subtle sounds with her movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? Great!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn hadn't expected her to agree and quickly called Lucia to handle the team formation procedures, afraid she might change her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His bronze badge was also upgraded to a crystal badge, allowing free exploration in the dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While registering information, the masked girl stood very close to Felyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly caught a familiar scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, Bernice's signature black-and-red highlighted short hair appeared in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No mistake—that metallic-clean perfume scent was unique in Seiwa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She must be Bernice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why did this girl look like this now? Did she enjoy contrasts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And why would she be willing to team up with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn didn't want to investigate further since the team procedures were complete—withdrawing midway would incur Adventurer's Association penalties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, wearing armor made it impossible to use breast pads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bernice's original size wasn't small either. Though artificial enhancement was visually appealing, it felt strange somehow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being small and natural was quite cute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn's body suddenly shivered as he realized Bernice seemed to be glaring at him fiercely from behind her mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Ber...cough cough, Miss, you can lead this operation entirely. I'll just follow behind you. My abilities aren't strong—can we stay in the golden badge area?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The masked Bernice nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn and Bernice walked toward the dungeon entrance together, but he couldn't help stealing glances at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this mask some kind of seal on her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was she the type who usually bounced around cheerfully, then put on a mask and had chuunibyou outbursts saying things like \"My lord, grant me endless darkness\"?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bernice felt very uncomfortable under Felyn's occasional furtive glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daiyi had asked her to become Felyn's bodyguard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, Bernice thought Daiyi was just acting in front of her to prove she truly cared about Felyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But hearing Daiyi's tone, Bernice detected anxiety in this Truth Divine Church young lady's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was genuinely worried about Felyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How was this possible? That rational young lady would actually feel anxious over a man?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And one who stared at strange girls' chests constantly, still stealing glances at her now—a pervert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Felyn!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pink figure appeared from under a parasol. Viloti's boots clicked on the stone pavement as she approached Felyn in a few quick steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn frowned, \"Viloti? Why are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today she wore a deep blue robe with white stockings wrapped in tall boots, gleaming in the sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti's originally aloof gaze softened instantly upon seeing Felyn, her amber eyes hiding traces of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father required me to come to the dungeon.\" But her gaze never left Felyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That joy instantly froze into frost upon seeing the masked Bernice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was this woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I'll be going then—teaming up with a big shot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti tugged at Felyn's sleeve, looking up with pleading eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Felyn, can't I come with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm going to the dungeon to observe magical beasts—that's different from your goals, isn't it, Viloti?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's the same!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn grasped Viloti's hand, trying to make her release him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could it be the same? You already took this course properly, right? Plus you've been accepted to Royal Capital Academy—you don't need such basic courses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the fitting room incident, Felyn had thoroughly reflected on his relationship with Viloti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if she didn't know the contract's contents, he had to maintain distance and vigilance at all times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti gripped Felyn's sleeve forcefully, looking like she wouldn't let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Felyn, do you hate me now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti's voice suddenly became very small, \"Because... because you've already seen my body, so you're not interested in me anymore?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lowered her head, pink hair falling to cover her drooping lashes, fingers unconsciously twisting the robe's hem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? No, no! Absolutely not like that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn quickly denied it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I didn't even see anything! I didn't do anything!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let me follow you,\" Viloti grasped Felyn's sleeve. \"I promise I won't cause trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn panicked instantly, not expecting Viloti's threatening tactics to be so masterfully executed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Viloti, I don't think this is appropriate. You came to help me, right? Though you can command your guard corps however you want, Lord Silafiel might get angry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't mind him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silafiel would cough up blood, hey!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Lord Silafiel might blame me. I'm just a fallen noble, so I'd rather not cause trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti bit her lip, slowly loosening her grip on Felyn's sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lashes trembled slightly, as if struggling to suppress something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn was right—father wouldn't do anything to her, but if someone from the guard corps reported to father, then Felyn would appear in father's sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm mm, you should work hard hunting today too, Viloti. We'll go first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was for the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his peripheral vision, Felyn saw Viloti still standing in place, pink hair gently floating in the wind, her slender figure appearing especially lonely in the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorry, just bear with it a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your path leads to the stars and sea, while I'm just a stumbling stone by the roadside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You shouldn't stop advancing for someone like me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn and Bernice entered the dungeon entrance as the transfer seal began activating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That girl likes you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The masked Bernice suddenly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She just doesn't understand what liking means. She's mistaking dependence for affection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, Felyn and Bernice were transported into the dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ber..., my lord, I'll just follow you.

How are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why can't I be here?\" Viloti pouted, turning her head aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pink hair swayed gently with her movement, reflecting the dungeon's blue-tinged light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't you come to the dungeon to complete your father's assigned task?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I'm completing my task right now—just happens to be along your route.\" Viloti put her hands behind her back and took two steps closer to Felyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Felyn, water for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viloti looked at Felyn innocently, holding water right up to his nose with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the nearby Adventurer's Association registration desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline had just reached the entrance when Guard Corps Captain Ailo reported that Felyn had already entered with a masked girl and Lady Viloti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Felyn is with Viloti?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline's gaze seemed to see Viloti shamelessly throwing herself into Felyn's arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That shameless bad woman who won't give up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Adeline, what should we do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline glared at the entrance and stamped her foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only she hadn't washed her hair and done makeup!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adeline had started getting ready at 8 AM but accidentally ran late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chase after them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1515,"2026-06-09T04:36:14.213Z",1,"novelbin.me","c0a9eb18565be86a123a54c97419a243450742b87e72cc4959af868242911c94","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-54","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-52",727,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-cover.jpg"]
