As she returned to her inn room, l t Lila, who was studying at a table, which was filled with a colorful variety of dishes.
Thanking the inn lady for lending out the kitchen for them, they ate side-by-side with such ease and comfort that it reminded l of the family celebratory dinner she used to have.
It was a mory she wished to relive. In a way, the warmth persisted here, taking a different shape.
The following night was uneventful, with l offering to sleep together and Lila surprisingly refusing, stating,
"If... if we sleep together now, I don’t think we can hold back with each other any longer..."
[ Envy stared at your lips, then at your body with a sense of longing! ]
[ Envy favourability: 90 -> 92 ]
l took a deep breath, watching her blushing girlfriend shift restlessly in place. Lila made a modest comnt, for the Witch of Lust wished to eat her inside out.
Ultimately, she respected her girlfriend’s wish, by slipping into Lila’s bed after confirming with the System that she was already asleep. She was gladly greeted with a flustered Lila and a hand chop afterwards.
After packing the luggage into l’s inventory and one last breakfast cooked by the lovely inn lady, they headed off to settle in the academy dormitory. As the Elite Class, they have the right to settle in earlier.
On the way, Lila asked l, frowning. "Are you sure you’re alright after last night? You seem a little dazed."
l blinked at Lila, searching her thoughts for an ’appropriate’ answer. "A lot has just happened, so I need more ti to process everything. Especially..."
She glanced down. Then, unable to hold back any longer, she leaned in and pressed her lips to Lila’s.
Her lover yelped like a frightened sparrow before turning away with a blush. "I-I get it... mm, kind of like the next stage in our relationship, or sothing more than that.
[ Envy realised you and she are lovers beyond lovers. Hey, when will you two really do the deed? ]
[ Favourability: 92 -> 93 ]
Will you be watching it too when we do it? l asked inwardly, flashing a nacing smile at the System panel, before softening her expression as she turned to Lila. "Not liking how close we are?"
Lila shuddered a little, stopping before the academy entrance gate that seed taller than she rembered. "Of course I like it. But everything takes ti to get used to, and I’m just... looking forward to..."
Catching the growing blush on Lila’s cheeks, l bit back a chuckle and gently pushed open the gate. "I got it. too."
The Witch of Envy followed as she lowered her head. "Mmm. Maybe I should study a little more, too? About what to do when the ti cos, I an."
Don’t laugh. Don’t laugh.
l uttered these words like a mantra inside her mind, before taking Lila’s hand. "Don’t be nervous. I don’t want you to imagine lewd thoughts while studying for magic, you know?"
Lila held back a whimper, her heartbeat pounding in her chest. "Of course! I-I just don’t want the two of us to be too awkward when the ti cos."
"Oh?" l ’gasped’. "So you do know it’s my first ti as well?"
Lila squinted her eyes, resisting the urge to pout in defiance of her character setting. "Is it not? Don’t tell you have kissed soone other than in your Witch form."
The Witch of Lust’s golden eyes flickered with slight hesitation before curving in amusent. "My dear Lila. Are you perhaps feeling uneasy? I can push you down and kiss you again if you like."
The Witch of Envy, naturally, hid her envy by glancing away in sha. "Dummy l."
l chuckled at Lila’s helplessness, sensing how Lila’s hand wrapped tighter around hers. She knew it would be long before Lila got used to her antics, but the Witch of Lust had all the ti to ease her before the {Draconic Invasion}.
After walking on the marble pavent that adorned the road, they have finally arrived at the dormitory area in the Academy’s East.
Several whitestone buildings lined the road, enclosed by a wall guarded by a security officer, who the System stated to be at least Expert ranked.
After the guard confird their identities through and a written register, they headed in without much trouble.
l mused on the Adept-ranked spell. There were very few accessible spells that directly confird one’s identity, and was one of them, designed by the Academy’s principal.
She couldn’t help but mock how easily this system could be exploited in the future, as l and Lila’s steps stopped upon witnessing sothing unexpected.
"Hic....hic..."
A flicker of disbelief crossed l’s eyes. She knew from the start that characters from the original apocalyptic tiline would be different from their young self, but this particular one was a little more surprising.
Short and slight, a girl with deep violet hair sat curled up by the dorm entrance, quietly crying as she hugged her petite fra. She wore an intricate yellow dress with a long, flowing skirt, like a packaged doll that who could be easily broken.
l recognised this pitiful figure. However, all of the Kingdom should easily recognise her at a glance.
She was going to help her, only to pause as Lila gently pulled her back.
Her stare t Lila’s erald, concerned eyes, her lover whispering. "Don’t, l. Getting involved with a... a Royalty like her would garner you too much attention. Better to keep low for your identity instead."
l widened her eyes before smirking with a murmur. "Trust , Lila. Or perhaps you’re feeling possessive again?"
Lila grumbled, figuring there was nothing to hide. "Both. Of course it’s both."
"Hehe. I’m honoured." The Witch of Lust patted her sullen lover. "I plan only to lend so help. No worries."
She then let go of Lila’s hand before striding towards the violet-haired girl, humming in excitent.
How could she not be? She knew this crybaby, Third Princess, all too well.
"Hello!"
The violet-haired princess’s small fra trembled as she lifted her gaze to et l’s golden eyes.
In her mory, they mirrored the Saintess’s. Those sa divine orbs, radiant and distant, impossible to reach.
Yet unlike the Saintess’s, the Witch’s gaze held a real warmth. Not manufactured, but sincerely kind.
