She found his behavior a little cute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He must be feeling crushed after learning about her background and talent, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Poor guy!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He probably thought there was no future for him, yet, unable to contain his feelings, he followed her here, even leaving his injured friend behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Let’s see what he will do now.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurelia waited silently, curious to see what he would do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Shit... why is she here all of a sudden?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Aurelia was in her own world of thinking, Soren felt a bit tense, half-expecting her to attack him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As someone who had playedLover’s Labyrinthbefore, he knew exactly what kind of character she was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her pride was practically written all over her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he then noticed that she did not seem as angry as before. Instead, she looked a little curious...?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It seems she is not as angry as before. Perfect, let’s use this opportunity and apologize for what happened at the cafeteria.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Soren was perplexed by her reaction, he realized this could be a golden opportunity. If he could get her to forgive him, he wouldn’t need to worry about retaliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if he could get close, maybe he could find ways to complete his quest as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes couldn’t help but scan her tall, voluptuous figure, slightly covertly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe the system was right; he really was a bit perverted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he made up his mind, Soren quickly came to his senses, slightly bowed to Aurelia with a bitter smile, and spoke,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Aurelia, I’m here to apologize.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apologize?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurelia raised an eyebrow, crossed her arms, and looked at him with curious amber eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, apologize. To be honest, I was quite nervous about our next class and didn’t see you coming. I’m really sorry. Can you...please forgive me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soren acted a bit awkwardly, unsure how to make up an excuse. Trying to divert her attention, he gritted his teeth and finally handed her the bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although extremely reluctant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let this Mind Tonic be my apology. You haven’t eaten anything yet, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered the emotion he had seen on her status panel before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was extremely reluctant to part with such an expensive drink, if it meant keeping this demoness of a girl off his back, he felt it was worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t even his credit points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So... this is how he wants to end this?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurelia looked at his extended hand, carrying the bottle. She thought that after finding out who she was, Soren had decided to quit pursuing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, why would he be in such a hurry to apologize?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Aurelia felt that his decision was correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just...she didn’t know why; she didn’t like this outcome. Maybe she wanted to see more drama... or more attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t sure. But she wasn’t the type to complain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I accept your apology. Just...don’t come in front of me next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurelia spoke coldly, lightly grabbed the bottle from his hand, and turned to leave abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, all the cause and effect between them was over, not that she thought there had been any to begin with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Tsk... tsk... she didn’t even react to such an expensive drink.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Ah... my 200 credit points. Such bad luck.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soren didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. He first snatched the drink from Evan, only to have it taken by Aurelia, who didn’t even look twice at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only good thing was that she had finally accepted his apology, and he didn’t need to worry about her anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, before getting another quest, of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Please don’t let a quest like Sylvia’s involve her. At least, not yet.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t always get lucky, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’White Bull? What kind of drink is this?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Aurelia left Soren’s vicinity, she finally glanced at the can in her hand, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been sheltered all her life, she had no idea what this product was. At first, she assumed it was just some cheap liquor anyone could find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Well... I’m hungry, but a Mind Tonic isn’t really what I need right now.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After staring at it for a moment, Aurelia lost interest. So, she bent down slightly to toss the bottle into a nearby trash can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as her fingers were about to let go...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait...Don’t throw that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden, sharp female voice rang out, making her freeze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, before she could react, someone directly snatched the bottle out of her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank god, I arrive in time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief after catching the can, her face filled with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After claiming herself, she finally left the infirmary, intending to take her class, but saw Aurelia doing something so ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This drink was worth 200 credit points, you know, and it wasn’t even opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know what kind of prodigal could throw it away like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm? You... what are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurelia, of course, remembered Sylvia as she was now quite familiar with their trio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she never thought that Sylvia was so cheap that she would grab a drink she was about to throw away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Umm... Miss Aurelia...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sylvia composed herself after realizing what she had done and smiled awkwardly. But she absolutely couldn’t allow her to throw away such an expensive drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"..Um... you see, I am feeling quite unwell due to what happened in the practical class. So, I was thinking... whether you would give this drink to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sylvia looked at Aurelia with her innocent blue eyes, her cheeks a little red with shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I saw that you were about to throw it away anyway. So, I thought...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Suit yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Sylvia was feeling more and more ashamed, Aurelia spoke lightly before walking past her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For her, whether throwing that can in the trash or giving it to Sylvia was no different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sylvia was slightly stunned by her nonchalance, but then immediately became happy. Now she finally knew how spoiled a daughter of an Archmage could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Miss Aurelia. By the way, I am Sylvia, Sylvia Everhart, an S-rank healer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sylvia introduced herself with a beautiful smile while walking alongside Aurelia. She was quite happy at securing 200 credit points so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even forgot her anger from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she felt that she had to become friends with this prodigal even if it wasn’t for Soren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could go die alone for all she cared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aurelia Flareborn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurelia saw her enthusiasm but didn’t complain and lightly replied. Although she was a proud girl, her upbringing was solid enough that it didn’t allow her to remain aloof toward a smiling figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, an S-rank healer was a good connection nonetheless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I know about your mother. She is quite popular. To be honest, I am quite jealous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sylvia was lively by nature and wouldn’t run out of words to talk. She easily began talking with Aurelia as if they were long-lost friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the response she got from her was just a light nod and occasional words, she felt that she was far closer than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, when Sylvia saw that they were about to reach class, she suddenly acted as if she remembered something.\u003C\u002Fp>",1220,"2026-05-30T05:30:18.320Z","2026-06-01T04:30:25.847Z",1,"novelbin.me","5969996096fddab182999a194e8fd411ac6c0fc6058dcd60d2a57ed6f9beba94","trapped-as-an-npc-in-a-dating-sim-chapter-16","trapped-as-an-npc-in-a-dating-sim-chapter-14",175,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftrapped-as-an-npc-in-a-dating-sim-cover.jpg"]
