Chapter 612 : The Girl in the Night

"Felyn, Felyn."

In the kitchen, Zervanie leaned close to Felyn, whispering secrets to him.

Olivia was also leaning against the wall, eavesdropping once again.

*Zervanie is dangerous! She's too beautiful! And she loves Big Brother so much, it's only a matter of time before Big Brother falls for her.*

"Felyn, there's something I want to ask of you."

Felyn was making dinner. Zervanie stood beside him with her hands behind her back, drawing circles on the floor with the tip of her foot.

"Next performance... can you accompany me too?"

Felyn didn't look up, concentrating on cutting potatoes. "Wouldn't I become your personal assistant then? Your assistant would lose their job."

"No, you... aren't you my..." Zervanie deliberately glanced around to make sure no one was there. "Aren't you my master? It's not a big deal to accompany me to a performance, right?"

*Master?*

Olivia covered her mouth to keep from exclaiming.

*Big Brother, in the time Olivia was away, what... what have you done with them!*

Olivia squatted on the floor, drawing circles with her finger, her thoughts in chaos.

*Tonight...*

*Should I use evil arts on Big Brother or not?*

*I feel like it would be more satisfying if Big Brother was awake for it.*

*But... would Big Brother agree to that?*

"Zervanie, don't talk nonsense, what master this, master that," in the kitchen, their conversation continued.

"Felyn, you actually won't admit it... you want to abandon me after enjoying it..."

Zervanie's eyes instantly turned red. She wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, her body visibly starting to tremble.

She tightly gripped the corner of Felyn's clothes, like a child being sent to the orphanage by her parents, her face full of grievance and reluctance.

"Alright, alright, just this once. After this, we're even."

"Yay!" The grievance from just now vanished without a trace.

"Knock, knock."

Adelina arrived late.

After entering and greeting the several young ladies, she went into the kitchen to help Felyn make dinner.

In this dormitory, she was one of only two people who could cook.

Daiyi could also cook, but Daiyi was not at the school tonight.

Zervanie, Viloti, Sylvain, and Olivia were talking in the living room. It was a rare lively moment in this small dormitory.

The two "parents," Felyn and Adelina, were busy in the kitchen, treating their conversation as background music.

While Felyn was looking down and cutting vegetables, Adelina leaned against the wall, closed her eyes, and wanted to rest for a moment.

Today, after she parted with Felyn and the others, she went directly to the divine art practice field.

Awakening a divine art, besides comprehending the relationship with the god on one's own, the higher the affinity with the god, the stronger the power of the awakened divine art.

Simply put, the better your relationship with the god, the better the divine art the god will give you.

If your relationship with the god is just that of a passerby, it will most likely casually throw you a nearly useless divine art from a dust-filled warehouse.

Like Viloti's "Final Hymn," Zervanie's "Moonlit Sanctum," and Daiyi's and Teacher Foustia's "Omniscience," which had the same name but different functions, were all top-tier divine arts from the gods.

Adelina chose the Church of Order. As one of the three major churches, the Church of Order also possessed the world's strongest divine arts.

In order to awaken a more powerful divine art, Adelina asked members of the Church of Order to fight with her to strengthen the affinity with the God of Order in her body.

Even though the other party held back, Adelina was still injured.

However, under the effect of a healing art seal, Adelina's wounds healed quickly.

The time she had left for herself was very tight, so she went to practice immediately after getting out of the car. She only took a shower before dinner and came to Felyn's dormitory, not resting at all.

Adelina rubbed her temples, took a deep breath, and prepared to return to the real world to prevent Felyn from noticing anything unusual.

When she opened her eyes, Felyn was still processing the ingredients in his hands.

Adelina looked at Felyn's back and felt a lot more at ease in her heart.

As long as Felyn was by her side, she could do anything.

"Adelina," Felyn didn't turn around. "You must be tired today, right?"

"Eh?"

Adelina was just about to walk over and help when Felyn suddenly asked.

"It's fine, I took a good nap in my dorm. Maybe because I just woke up, so..."

Adelina forced herself to remain calm, came to Felyn's side, and tidied her hair with her hand.

"I just feel that you're very tired," Felyn felt that he hadn't guessed wrong.

He could judge Adelina's current mental state through her micro-expressions, breathing rhythm, and behavior.

This didn't rely on talent, but on experience accumulated over a long period of time.

Felyn didn't think he was very smart. He couldn't see a stranger's micro-expressions at a glance like Daiyi could.

He could only judge the other person's emotions by memorizing the client's expressions and behaviors through long observation.

"Is it the upcoming divine art training that's stressing you out?"

To welcome the Hero's Festival, and also for Teacher Foustia's bonus, Felyn was preparing to conduct divine art integration training with Viloti and Zervanie.

And Adelina could only join in after her divine art awakened.

Felyn knew the pride in Adelina's heart. He knew that even if she was not at fault, she definitely couldn't stand falling behind others.

Adelina did not answer Felyn's question.

She moved closer to Felyn, untied the apron knot he had casually tied, and then retied it into a beautiful bow.

"No, it's really just because I overslept."

"Is that so."

The kitchen fell silent. Adelina stood there, somewhat at a loss.

The feeling of lying to Felyn was not good.

But she didn't want Felyn to worry.

Felyn shook his hands, dried them with a paper towel, and walked to the other side of the kitchen.

He squatted down and found a red apron in the cabinet, then walked behind Adelina.

"Let me put the apron on for you."

Felyn smelled the rose scent of Adelina's hair and watched her neck turn red at an extremely fast speed.

*They're all a bunch of strong-willed young ladies.*

Felyn did not expose Adelina's lie.

"I'm counting on you, Adelina. Let's make dinner together tonight."

Adelina's body trembled slightly. She tightly gripped the apron, her head lowered, the color of her cheeks gradually becoming even more vibrant than her hair.

"O-Okay... Felyn."

The loneliness in the kitchen was dispelled by their interaction.

A pleasant atmosphere gradually merged in the living room and dining room.

Only one person, only Olivia sitting on the sofa directly facing the kitchen, saw the scene in the kitchen.

*Big Brother is so gentle...*

*But, but when will Big Brother give this gentleness to me too?*

*Not the gentleness between siblings, not the gentleness between family, but...*

*But the gentleness like that between lovers...*

*Will it be tonight?*

---

Late at night.

The crowd had already dispersed. The various young ladies had all had a pleasant dinner.

Sylvain had long since fallen asleep, and Olivia probably had as well.

Felyn lay alone on the bed, looking at the ceiling wet with moonlight.

The image of Adelina from just now was still appearing in Felyn's mind. She clearly had something she couldn't say.

Her hair scent, her neck, her moist eyes, all kept replaying in Felyn's mind.

"Adelina..."

At this moment, the door was gently pushed open a crack.

Felyn only then realized he had forgotten to lock the door tonight.

A bare foot with red nail polish first stepped gently into the door, then a girl's figure slipped into the room with extreme speed and fluidity, carefully closing the door.

*Who could it be?*

Almost no footsteps sounded in the room. She slowly approached Felyn's bed.
