Chapter 200- What?!
"Can you hear my thoughts too?" Elise decided to check just in case. Although she already has a premonition about the answer.
"No, I can't hear them. However, I can't say for sure that others can't." Evelyn answered after thinking for a mont.
'This is predictable. So, only Rin has this happening to him. Did that goddess do this?' Elise asked herself with a frown.
Such an ability was sothing that they didn't co by at all during their ti in this world and even if they did, they should've been able to realize that fact quickly. However, that didn't happen which ans that not everyone can hear his thoughts. Still, even if the ones that can are small in number, it didn't diminish the urgency of the problem.
'What if our enemies can hear his thoughts? That would be more than disastrous!'
So secret information leaks could pronounce the end for humanity and Rin had a lot of such information.
"Tsk, this is really a huge problem." Elise murmured as she held her face.
"I think you shouldn't overthink about it now. All we can do is let this matter aside for a while until things calm down and then you can tell Rin about it. I'm sure that's the best thing you could for the ti being."
"That still doesn't solve the problem that Rin is facing. What if the demons could listen to what he is thinking of and they end up coming after his head?"
"Yeah, that could be a possibility. Which is why I ca up with an idea." Evelyn said.
"What is it?"
"How about I start living with Rin. That way I can protect him in case of an attack and also diminish any possibilities of unwanted visitors."
"..." Elise froze in her place.
"Live with him?" She asked after a few seconds.
"Yes."
"You do know that we are-"
"Yes, I know about that and I promise not to put my hand on him... Unless he allows to." Evelyn said as she added the last sentence in her heart, far away from anything that Elise could hear.
"Why would I believe that? Besides, I'm his lover, I can live with him instead."
"Would the academy allow such a thing?" Evelyn asked.
'It's true that they normally won't let such a thing. But, I can ask Emilia to make it possible.' Elise thought.
"And even if you can, are you stronger than ?" Evelyn asked as she unleashed a little bit of her aura.
"Are you threatening , Evelyn?"
"No, I'm just showing you that I'm more capable than you are in protecting Rin. It's the hard truth."
Squinting her eyes, Elise stared directly at Evelyn for a long ti. She couldn't deny the fact that she was still weaker than Evelyn but that didn't an that it would be the case for a long ti.
"A few months is more than enough for to exceed you and I'm sure Rin won't take any longer than that to not require your help anymore."
"I know that you two are monsters. But, until that ti cos, I can protect Rin."
"... Fine, I shall allow for such a thing."
The mont Evelyn heard that, her face bead with delight. However, Elise wasn't finished yet.
"But..." Staring at her, Elise muttered the last words.

"Why are they taking such a long ti? Is it that serious?" Roaming around the place, Rin was getting more and more nervous as ti goes by.
'Did they perhaps start arguing? Elise doesn't like Evelyn so it's not that hard for them to engage in a fight.'
Imagining the two won starting a fight and destroying his room sent a chill down his spine. He really didn't want to end up holess because of a disagreent. That's why, he felt the urge to simply walk back and open the door before the irreversible happens.
'But, I did promise Elise not to barge in. Hmm, and I can't feel their auras rising either.'
The dilemma was huge but in the end, Rin ultimately decided to simply wait and see what happens. Then, the door finally opened.
Standing up, Rin ran there to check if the conversation was over.
"Elise... Did anything happen?"
"No... nothing." Elise said as she stared directly at Rin.
At first, Rin didn't notice anything weird but when he looked at her eyes, he felt sothing weird. He could so weird emotions swirling inside there. It was as if Elise was feeling... sad?
'Why is she sad? Did Evelyn say sothing to her?' Glaring at Evelyn, the latter simply shook her head in denial.
"I'm sorry." Then, his lover muttered as she stepped forward and hugged Rin.
"Huh?" His whole body froze as he looked down at Elise with a surprised expression.
"Sorry for what?" He asked as he hugged her back. The feeling of her warmth filled his heart and relaxed all the tension that took over his body.
"I'm just sorry." She replied.
"...?" Not understanding anything, Rin simply decided to console his lover for whatever reason she was sad.
After a while, Elise finally pulled back and she was back to her usual expression.
"There is sothing I need to tell you." She said.
"Hm?"
"From now on... and Evelyn will start living here."
"... Huh?" At first, Rin didn't register but when his mind finally comprehend what she said, he froze.
"W-What did you just say, Miss Elise?" He asked with a broken smile. His face was full of sweat.
"We will be living together from now on for your safety. It's the best choice for the current situation since because you can't fight properly, you could be ambushed by an enemy."
"Hm? Oh, that already happened."
"What?!" The two won blurted out.
"Yeah, I was intending to tell you but one of the cult mbers ca to my room 30 minutes ago."
"..." (x2)
No one uttered a word for a good 30 seconds.
