Chapter 725 : A Direct Attack! Miss Daiyi's Absolute Weakness!

"Why should I go to your place?" Eitani asked, hands on her hips.

"Because I have Felyn's secrets."

"Hmm? Tell me, quick!"

"Then come inside and we'll talk."

With just two sentences, Daiyi had successfully lured the Demon Lord's daughter.

Eitani sat on Daiyi's sofa while Daiyi went to the room to make tea.

Watching the water in the kettle slowly come to a boil, Daiyi searched her mind for what things to share with Eitani.

The first thing that came to mind were the events that happened between her and Felyn.

That night in the royal capital district, he promised he wouldn't forget her within ten years; in Eitani's illusion, he had unintentionally said he admired her; at the school festival, he held her hand and saved her.

And there was the time he accidentally fell asleep next to her, his arm wrapped around her chest.

Mmm...

Daiyi rested her chin on her hand, feeling a little reluctant to share these things.

These were her and Felyn's private memories.

If she talked about Felyn and other girls, Eitani might get jealous and angry. And talking about Felyn's other perverted behaviors would also leave a bad impression on Eitani.

Daiyi muttered to herself in a low voice, "I've finally reached this point, haven't I? I've already started helping you capture other girls."

"You're Miss Daiyi, right?"

Seeing Daiyi staying in the kitchen for so long, Eitani got bored and walked over. "I remember you. You confessed to Felyn at the school festival, didn't you?"

"Wh-what?!" A trace of panic appeared on Daiyi's face. "I've never confessed to Felyn."

"I eavesdropped at the school festival. At that time, a large group of girls was chasing you, saying you wanted to take Felyn away and dote on him. Is that true?"

A dead memory suddenly began to attack Daiyi.

She never would have thought that after kindly inviting Eitani in, Eitani would actually attack her.

"Th-that was just a misunderstanding, Miss Eitani. You probably misheard."

"My memory is very good." Eitani shook her head. "You definitely confessed to Felyn at that time. What do you like about Felyn? Do you think he's handsome? Do you think he understands you? Or... or something else?"

"Eitani..."

"So do you still like Felyn now?"

Beating around the bush was ineffective against Miss Daiyi. It was better to go for a direct, fierce attack, which often yielded unexpected results.

Daiyi looked at Eitani, her gaze unconsciously drifting out the window.

As the two fell silent, the kettle boiled, letting out a piercing sound.

Daiyi turned around to pour the tea, relieved.

"Miss Daiyi, are you feeling guilty?"

"I'm not."

"Could it be... you still have a secret crush on Felyn?" Eitani's intuition began to sharpen, and she latched onto Daiyi, refusing to let go.

With Eitani following her and constantly asking questions, Daiyi felt a headache coming on.

Why did I let her in? Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Felyn, you'll have to repay me properly for this in the future.

"Miss Daiyi? Why aren't you talking? Are you shy?"

Daiyi turned around, crossed her arms, and her dark green eyes met Eitani's brown ones, not losing any ground.

Eitani, who had been noisy just a moment ago, was also startled by Daiyi's expression. She felt as if she had seen a god fall from the heavens to the mortal world.

The room fell into a brief silence.

"I..." Daiyi opened her mouth and took a deep breath.

"I actually..."

A knock on the door interrupted their conversation.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The interval between the sounds was extremely regular, as precise as a machine.

"Phew~"

After seeing off Dorothy and Zervanie, Felyn felt much more relaxed.

Having too many girls around is really troublesome.

No, it should be that the girls around me are all problem girls.

He lay on the sofa, noting in his small notebook that he had to accompany Dorothy and Zervanie to an event next weekend.

In the end, he still agreed.

Sylvaine, having just finished her bath, walked past Felyn wrapped in a towel and sat on the other side of the sofa.

Her beige long hair was completely spread out at this moment, and water droplets still rested on her fair collarbones.

The water droplets slid down her long, smooth legs without making any sound of friction.

"Sylvaine."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Mr. Felyn?" Sylvaine turned around, holding a book in her hand.

Usually, she bound her chest, so he had never realized her figure was actually quite good.

"N-nothing. I just thought of something, but forgot it just as I was about to say it."

"Alright, I often encounter that kind of situation too." Sylvaine smiled at Felyn and buried her head in her book.

Felyn scratched his head and silently averted his gaze.

He had originally planned to remind Sylvaine, but if she didn't care at all, wouldn't his reminder be superfluous?

Felyn lay on the sofa, looking at the ceiling, and slowly closed his eyes.

He could hear the sound of Sylvaine turning the pages of her book, and the occasional crackling from the fireplace, which made the whole house warm and cozy.

He took a deep breath, smelling the floral scent of Sylvaine's bath.

The soft sofa supported his body, allowing every inch of his skin to relax.

This was a rare moment of peace.

Later, he had to go have dinner with Viloti. I wonder what the little pink-hair wants to eat tonight. I'm really looking forward to it.

Felyn felt like he hadn't lived such a simple and peaceful life in a long time. It had always been noisy around him.

"Buzz, buzz."

The communication spell-inscribed device vibrated. Felyn thought it was Viloti.

"Felyn, have you arrived in the royal capital district?"

It was Seraphina.

"Mhm, I arrived tonight."

"It's getting cold recently. Make sure to keep warm."

Felyn looked at this message and frowned tightly.

She... is actually concerned about me?

"Mhm, thank you for your concern, Miss Seraphina. You should also keep warm."

"Dragons aren't afraid of the cold."

For a moment, Felyn didn't know how to continue the conversation. He didn't know what Seraphina's purpose in contacting him was.

A moment later.

"I mean, although dragons aren't afraid of the cold, thank you for your concern."

What's wrong with her?

"Next weekend, are you free? I want to use a contract service."

"I have something on next weekend. How about we change the time?"

"Alright. Then you should sleep early. I heard that sleeping early can help you grow taller and is good for your health."

The dragon lady's second message came right after: "I don't mean you're short. You're very tall and suitable right now. I like it a lot."

"Mhm, I know. Thank you for your concern, Miss Seraphina."

On the other side of the royal capital district, the dragon lady curled up on her sofa at home, looking at the communication spell-inscribed device and sighing.

What on earth did I just send...

Felyn put down the spell-inscribed device, planning to take a short nap and not think about these messy things.

Anyway, the contract with the dragon lady was about to end soon. There was no need to figure out these unclear feelings.

At the current service frequency, her contract service count would reach zero before the Hero's Festival began.

"Mr. Felyn, Mr. Felyn." Sylvaine called Felyn's name. "Miss Daiyi seems to be back. I see the lights in her dormitory are on."

Felyn opened his eyes and found that it was indeed so.

He looked at his watch. It was still early, so he got up and walked towards Daiyi's dormitory.
