The bell rang shortly after the ’tongue-kiss’ incident, and everyone imdiately fled from the classroom, like fleas scattering from a fla.
l nudged Lila, her lover’s head buried into the desk as her refuge.
Surprisingly, or perhaps not, Rosana left gracefully without pressing l further, teasing how she anticipate if Lila would repeat her earlier performance.
l snickered at how a little blue bum scared off a Dragoness. "Lila? The big, scary tiger is not here now!"
Lila grumbled, voice muffled in her arms. "Let cool down a little... what have I... in front of others..."
The Witch of Lust bit her tongue.Don’t laugh, don’t laugh...This just showed how Lila was growing more daring and confident because of her!
She patted Lila’s back, smoothing over her silky hair. "Don’t worry. The people here seem nice, so they won’t mind what you did earlier!"
Then Lila pulled herself upright before staring at l, her erald eyes watering. "In the first place, this won’t happen if you didn’t flirt with that Rosana..."
In Envy’s mind, the blonde must have approached l with impure intentions.
How could she not be scared? Her l was just as impure, so much so she wouldn’t be surprised to see her bedding the teacher the very next day!
Sensing Lila’s thought, l stroked Lila’s head. "Rember the whole save-the-world, prevent-tragedies thing? Rosana is one of them, my Lila."
l had nothing to hide. Once promised honesty, she would deliver it to Lila without hesitation.
Lila’s face reddened with sha. "You an her? She seems to be the kind to incite tragedies rather than attract them..."
That you’re not wrong, l’s lips curled to a wry smile, staring at the Snow Witch of Envy. "In either case, please believe ."
Shaking her head, Lila muttered. "No. Of course, I believe in you. Just..."
The Witch of Envy gritted her teeth, recalling the smuggy Heiress. "More like I won’t mind you approaching her, but I hate it when she approaches you."
l tilted her head as a playful glint crossed her eyes. "Oh? What gives?"
"It just didn’t feel right!" Lila pouted. "Like she wants to possess you or sothing? I-I also have that feeling sotis, so that I would know..."
l held her chin. "Well, you’re not wrong."
Her mory drifted back to Greed’s ’last defeat’. Even at her last mont, Rosana remained stubborn in how she viewed her surroundings as her possessions, refusing to see the World as ’real’ or ’alive’.
She chuckled softly. "That’s where we need to manage."
To l, Rosana’s indifference was more misguided than malicious.
The { Draconic Invasion } only isolated her further. Simply resolving the incident was never enough to fix it.
"For now, however..." l stood up, her mind racing. "We have to focus on what we can do first."
She would gradually allow Rosana to open up. Until then, she should focus on Lila’s first.
She glanced back at Lila, her golden eyes glimring with determination. "Alright, Lila. I’ll skip the first lessons till the lunch break for now."
"Eh?!" Lila gasped. How was escaping school related to resolving tragedies?
Yet l rely flashed a mischievous smile. "Think you can handle everything by yourself for now? I need to et a person a bit earlier than expected."
She was not worried about other people since the Saintess herself ensured the nobles and commoners would be at their best behaviour, but she would stay if Lila asked for it.
If anything happens, l was confident that ’she’ would take care of them, judging by the ’Audio Leak’ incident.
The Witch of Envy frowned, frustration bubbling as she rembered Rosana’s little ’stunt’ earlier.
A hesitant whisper escaped her. "Can’t I accompany you?"
l’s brow raised in curiosity before leaning down. "You can, though I doubt you’ll want to miss the next few magic field demonstrations."
Lila hung her head while fidgeting with her fingers.
She has promised l that she would grow strong enough to protect her. And now that a ’blonde threat’ approached, she needed to work harder.
With a sudden burst of determination, she sprang from her seat. "Alright. See you then, l! I have to attend the lectures before it is too late!"
l nodded approvingly before shifting aside for a dashing Lila, her light blue hair drifting as she strode away.
But her step stopped at the door, glancing over her shoulder with a sincere gaze. "And l. Please stay safe."
The Witch of Lust blinked, eting the clear erald eyes.
A warm giggle escaped her before she strode towards Lila. "You forgot sothing!"
Then, as she faced her, she gently caught Lila’s chin before pressing her lips against hers.
Pulling back to admire the dazed, blushing cheeks, she murmured. "Work hard. For . Along with my heart here."
Lila hiccuped, her heartbeat drumming as she rubbed her chin against l’s finger. "Mmm, I will."
She would ensure l’s heart belonged to hers, forever and no one else’s.
[ Envy’s chest stirred with a fierce competitiveness! ]
[ Envy Favourability: 83 -> 91 ]
"I look forward to it."
l responded with a small smile, playing with her Lila’s grumbling cheeks.
Not wanting to spoil the tender mont, she kept to herself the fact that she was about to pursue another target of seduction.
Still, the Witch of Lust fully intended to make up for the lie by pampering Lila tonight.
----------------
After sending off Lila, l walked up to the building’s fourth floor.
As she idly walked down the corridor, admiring the views behind the large windows, she stopped before a pair of large paneled doors.
With a click, she opened them to reveal a large office. Four desks surrounded two sofas in the middle, with stacked docunts at each corner.
She glanced toward the sofa, where a lone, auburn-haired elf girl slept peacefully. The elf moaned softly, tangled in a shabby blanket.
l chuckled as her eyes caught the ssy pile of signed docunts beneath the elf. Once again, the student council president had overworked herself, contrary to her Sloth nasake.
Listening to how the elf was soundly asleep, she muttered mischievously. "."
Ti to offer Sloth a little surprise.
