They're not even human anymore; those wicked women can cry even more miserably.

Long's eyes held a hint of resentment as he stared at his philandering senior, feeling indignant.

"Senior, isn't what you're doing unfair?"

Nia's eyes immediately returned to their naturally dazed and confused state.

"what?"

Long stamped her foot in her heart.

They've already stolen the food, why are they pretending to be innocent now?

It's all pretend!

Nia slowly focused her gaze on Oboro's face, her voice also slow and deliberate.

"I'm just waiting here for my master to come back."

As expected of a fool who wouldn't even be considered a mistress, he was quite happy to complain in his heart, but couldn't say a word out loud.

"I saw it all."

Despite her smiling face, Long became increasingly unhappy as she thought about it, and even let out a "humph".

"Ah."

Nia nodded obediently, then looked at Long with longing eyes.

It's as if it's saying, "And then what?"

Then what?

Long was almost going crazy.

What do you mean by just saying "hmm"?

I caught you cheating, shouldn't you be ashamed?

Shouldn't I feel guilty?

Shouldn't I blame myself?

Why are you so self-righteous?!

Even though I was the one who caught them cheating, why can't I bring myself to say it?

I have a feeling that their roles have been reversed!

She almost wanted to cry, but could only look at Nia with a reproachful gaze.

But would someone who can daydream anytime, anywhere mind being stared at by her?

Not at all, she continued to daydream.

Despite the subtle interactions between the two women, the atmosphere remained pleasant.

A faint smile appeared on Xia's face as he relaxed.

It seemed that all the serious questions I had been pondering had faded away, and my tense mind and body were relieved.

He was determined to protect this warm and loving life.

The three of them stood at the doorway, bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun.

"Alright, now that you're back, you should get some rest. You can't just leave me standing at the door in the cold wind, can you?"

Char spoke up, trying to smooth things over.

Long pouted and moved aside, but her eyes were still fixed on Nia, to prevent her from sneaking any more food.

Hmph, I'm watching!

But inside the villa, the waiting visitors were somewhat uneasy.

In the past, although Nia was naturally a bit naive, she had no problem with interpersonal skills, and she would be the one to entertain guests.

But seeing that Long had returned, Nia immediately sneaked out to the door to wait.

Although Oboro had made some progress in treating her social anxiety, she still couldn't face a stranger directly, so after the tea was served, the two of them sat there awkwardly.

She only caught the cheating guy when she realized something was wrong and prepared to go find her senior to entertain him.

For a moment, both of them forgot about the visitors waiting inside the villa.

Char, however, had no idea that there were guests present.

It wasn't until the three of them entered the room and saw the reserved, white-stockinged mature woman sitting in front of the sofa that they turned around and looked at the two women with some confusion.

The blindfolded, white-stockinged mature woman held a cup in both hands, her beautiful legs together, her delicate thin lips pursed, and she looked somewhat uneasy.

Only when he heard the noise at the door did he look up.

Although the Sword Saintess is renowned for her genius, she has been somewhat melancholy lately, appearing anxious and occasionally showing signs of confusion.

Ever since she drank that glass of wine at Xia's house and experienced the feeling of selflessness, she has become addicted and can never forget that feeling.

No matter how hard she tried, she could never reach the state of selflessness again.

Driven by her passion for kendo, Sistine, after much deliberation, decided to visit her junior's villa.

In order to reach the state of selflessness, she did not hesitate to come and beg Char.

Even if she has androphobia.

After knocking on the door, I felt a sense of relief when I saw Oboro open it.

She had intended to leave after hearing that Xia Ya was not there.

But Oboro said that Char would be back soon.

She didn't want to stay, but Oboro invited her inside to wait a while.

They would never refuse.

Although she had made up her mind, when Char actually returned, Sistine instantly turned into a frightened rabbit, completely frozen in place.

My body felt numb, and only one thought echoed in my mind: Run!

Especially when she thought about how she had acted so improperly not long ago, which had been seen by the junior in front of her, her cheeks flushed even more.

My grip on the cup tightened and loosened repeatedly, and I was on edge the whole time.

Oboro had already quietly told Xia about her senior's visit.

Char understood in a moment.

He gave a friendly smile, but Sistine's body stiffened even more, and she instinctively wanted to dodge.

She lacked the composure and nobility she displayed in front of outsiders.

Char sat down on the other side of the sofa and spoke softly.

"Senior, there's no need to be so nervous. Is there something you need from me?"

Perhaps it was the sense of security that distance provided, perhaps it was Char's politeness and elegance that made Sistine feel a little more at ease, or perhaps it was her yearning for kendo.

Sistine's voice was soft, but she still managed to explain her purpose.

Even before explaining her purpose, she took the initiative to admit her mistake.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong before. I originally came to send you away, but now I need your help..."

Sistine couldn't bring herself to say what came next.

She felt embarrassed even saying it herself.

“But I really want to reach the state of selflessness. I’ve been searching for it everywhere without success, and the only way I could find it was by drinking that kind of wine here with you.”

Sistine looked at Char with pleading eyes, and although she was embarrassed, she slowly began to speak.

"Could you give me that kind of wine again?"

The older sister, who is absolutely incapable of lying, explained everything clearly, even though she was embarrassed and spoke softly.

He even proactively admitted to mistakes that had not been exposed, revealing his desire for the dreamlike state.

It's like they're offering themselves up to be slaughtered.

This honesty contrasts sharply with her cool and noble appearance.

Xia hesitated after hearing her words.

"Currently, I don't have any on hand."

The light in Sistine's eyes dimmed.

But Char hadn't finished speaking.

"The brewing of that wine can only wait a few more days."

Sistine's eyes lit up again.

He even took the initiative to move a little closer to Char.

"I'm willing to pay any price to buy it, as long as you're willing to give it to me!"

Char's hesitation was not due to the past few days.

He was well aware that the state of selflessness achieved by catching the original liquor still had limitations.
