This dragon girl raising system is a bit strange.

Chapter 24 devised a solution to the mission.

Thor and the butler left the basement together, locked it, and returned to the living room.

He lay down on the leather-covered sofa, his whole body sprawled on the sofa, pondering. He already had a rough plan, and he should be able to obtain the Beast Blood Core.

However, the plan will not be implemented until Meloti returns in a few days.

Thor shifted his focus back to the tasks of system deployment.

1. Resolve this argument. (Required)

2. Calm Ysera down. (Optional)

3. No one was injured in this altercation. (Optional)

4. Increase Yulia's affection level. (Optional)

5. Increase Ysera's affinity. (Optional)

Thor really finds women annoying.

Why do we argue so easily?

Why exactly...?

But this is not something he can decide.

Thor sat on the sofa and patted the seat next to him.

Yulia happily wagged her tail and ran over, then obediently sat down.

She wore a little black dress with the hem falling naturally to one side. She sat upright with her hands on her knees, her tail gracefully forming a circle behind her, and her eyes still furtively stole glances at Thor from time to time.

"Julia, have you and Ysera ever argued?"

"Eh?"

Thor's words surprised her greatly.

Julia began brainstorming again, trying to figure out why Thor had asked her that question.

After a period of CPU overload, she still couldn't grasp Thor's deeper meaning and could only say:

No...

"Too."

Thor thought about it and figured that if Ysera wanted to argue, she probably wouldn't go after Julia.

"Have you heard about her arguing with other people?"

Yulia hugged her knees and thought seriously for a while.

She had never seen Isera work, and Isera rarely talked about negative things when they chatted.

When it comes to arguing...

They argued on the day Thor took her away.

"It seems...probably...there shouldn't be..."

Yulia noticed that Thor sighed almost imperceptibly.

Her nerves immediately tensed up.

Did I do something wrong again?

Yulia began to reflect.

Seeing that Thor remained silent for a long time, Julia finally made up her mind and expressed her judgment.

"Young Master Thor..."

"What's wrong?" Thor asked, puzzled.

"Do you like Miss Isela?"

Her words held Thor captive for half a minute.

Seeing Thor petrified, Julia realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly added:

"It's alright, I know I can't compare to Miss Saintess."

"I'll help you...help you pursue her..."

Thor quickly told her to stop.

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't say anymore!"

Yulia blushed, lowered her head, and remained silent.

Thor had been sighing before only because of the mission, but now he was truly sighing because of Julia.

After letting out a long sigh, Thor asked somewhat helplessly:

"First of all, I don't like Ysera, and I have no intention of pursuing her."

"Secondly, why do you think I like her?"

Yulia was truly stumped by the question. Somewhat flustered, she hesitated for a moment before stammering:

"Because...because you just mentioned Miss Saintess, young master."

"And I feel like you care about her a lot..."

Yulia's intuition was indeed correct.

Thor cares about Ysera, but not because he likes her; rather, he wants to get some benefits from the system through her.

"I just wanted to tease her."

Thor glossed over the topic and changed the subject.

"Why do you think I like her? I mean, what is it about her that attracts me?"

"what?"

Yulia was somewhat surprised, and said in a serious tone:

"How wonderful the saintess is."

"She has such a friendly personality, and is not only beautiful but also has a great figure."

In Julia's opinion, it's perfectly normal for Thor to like Ysera.

But Thor clearly didn't think so.

"friendly......"

He recalled the day he adopted Julia and the harsh tone and attitude Isera had shown him.

Then I recalled the scene in the mission description where they argued like shrewish women.

friendly?

Ysera is probably quite kind to her friends, but the problem is Thor isn't one of her friends...

Moreover, in terms of looks alone, Yulia is clearly no less attractive than Ysera.

It's just that Julia doesn't have the same confidence as Isera.

"Come on, with her personality."

"It's no wonder she's a spinster for life; who would like someone like her?"

Yulia burst out laughing.

Her reaction was not quite what Thor had expected.

"What are you laughing at?"

Thor looked at Julia's smiling face and asked again:

"Isn't Miss Saint your good friend? Why are you laughing?"

Julia's expression calmed down, but her eyes were still bright, and she seemed to be enjoying talking to Thor about this topic.

"The Saintess is my good friend."

"But when I'm with Miss Saintess, there's still a bit... I always feel a bit..."

She paused, then didn't continue.

Thor knew she didn't want to speak ill of her friend.

He didn't want to delve into these matters and stated his opinion directly:

"I don't care how she treats others, or whether she's friendly or not."

"Anyway, she's not friendly to me, so I can't possibly give her a nice look, let alone like her."

He glanced at Yulia beside him, her round cheeks and adorable yet spirited eyes.

"I'd rather like you than her."

"You're prettier than her, and you're more well-behaved, cute, and obedient."

This was a very masculine statement, but it was extremely damaging to Yulia.

"You...you...what are you saying, young master?"

Her mind went blank, a blush spreading from her cheeks to her neck, and she avoided Thor's gaze with a hint of panic.

The girl could clearly feel her own heartbeat, and her tail stood up in response. A strange feeling she had never experienced before filled her mind.

"It's fake, right..."

She couldn't believe that her charm could possibly rival that of the Saintess.

Miss Saintess is the object of so many people's worship.

"What's wrong? Do you want me to swear that you're cuter than her?"

Thor gently patted her head, and Julia's body trembled involuntarily.

"If you were more confident, you would become even better."

"But she's cute enough as she is now."

Yulia felt her face burning and her breathing becoming heavy.

"Yes...yes, Master..."

She didn't even know what she was saying anymore; she just kept agreeing.

Thor gave up on patting Julia's head.

He could tell that Julia was too nervous.

This is a good thing.

Thor thought to himself, "I'll tease her often when I'm bored; it should be quite fun."

What he just said was absolutely true.

After all, everyone has different preferences. In terms of looks and cuteness alone, Ysera really can't compare to Julia.

Of course, Ysera's biggest weakness is her personality.

Thor couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Ysera becoming an older single woman in the future.

According to the original timeline, Ysera's only true confidante was Julia, let alone anyone else.

[Yulia: Affection increased by 5]

Current favorability rating: 41/100

As the system notification sounded, Yulia's favorability rating broke through once again.

This is one of the reasons why Thor likes her.

Yulia was undoubtedly the best gift the god of leeks had given him, bar none.

If Thor really does establish a Leek Cult in the future, then Julia will definitely be the saintess of the cult.

She's cute, obedient, and can even help you get freebies from the system.

Those who dislike Yulia are in trouble.

Yulia, standing to the side, was still savoring what had just been said, a faint blush on her cheeks, her tail swaying happily behind her, rubbing against the leather and making a rustling sound.

After a while, Yulia's face returned to calm, only her tail was still wagging.

After some time, Thor patted her on the shoulder.

"Let's go eat."

......

Dinner was served, and Yulia was clearly in a good mood, running around with light steps, helping to serve the dishes.

Soon, all the dishes were served, and Yulia still had two portions of food on her table.

After finishing her work, Julia quickly sat down next to Thor.

Due to the housekeeper's limited time, dinner tonight is simple.

The simple stir-fried noodles are garnished with some bright red sausages.

Yulia also shed her last bit of awkwardness and no longer hid her desire to eat. She put on a pitiful look and looked at Thor, begging him to hurry up and start eating.

"Eat."

Yulia started eating at a speed almost as fast as a 100-meter sprinter's starting reaction when she heard the instruction.

She picked up the plate and began to eat the noodles on it with gusto.

Thor, standing to the side, clearly didn't share this interest.

He was still thinking about how to complete the system's tasks tomorrow.

At the very least, they need to find a way to start an argument in order to achieve a reconciliation.

However, given Ysera's prejudice against herself, if an argument were to start, it probably wouldn't be so easy to stop.

As for improving the relationship between the two while mediating the fight, Thor didn't even dare to think about it.

Well, what's done is done, let's eat first.

He put the noodles into his mouth.

It was truly bland and tasteless food, without the soy sauce from my hometown, without the thirteen-spice seasoning, only the sea salt from this world.

Thor wanted to recreate the scallion oil noodles from his hometown, but he didn't have the skills to make soy sauce.

He looked at Julia, who was wolfing down her food, and thought to himself that the poor child had never eaten anything good before.

Thor ate the food on his plate, his thoughts still on the system's mission.

Although he ate slowly, he still finished the whole plate of food.

Yulia had been waiting for a long time before she finally spoke:

"Young master, may I come to my room...?"

Thor and the butler both looked at her at the same time.

Thor's heart sank. What was going on? Was a cutscene about to trigger?

That doesn't seem right.

This isn't even 50 affection points yet, is it??

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Yulia quickly explained:

"It's about Miss Saintess. I just have something I want to tell you..."

Thor let out a long sigh and relaxed.

Even Yulia said not to overthink it, which proves that it really isn't a big deal.

"OK."

Then, under the butler's surprised gaze, Thor followed Julia to her room door.

Yulia gripped the doorknob and gently pushed open the door. The moment the door opened, a faint fragrance wafted into the room.

Once inside the room, Thor turned on the lights and sat down next to Julia on the bed, still unsure of what she was up to.

"What do you want to say?" Thor's tone was somewhat ruthless.

Yulia looked a little nervous, staring at the closed door for a while before mustering her courage to speak:

"Young Master, you want to know the contents of the letter the Holy Maiden wrote to me yesterday, right?"

Thor raised an eyebrow helplessly.

You called me out just for this little thing?

That's it?

He could actually guess the contents of Isela's letter; it was nothing more than a formulaic expression of concern for Julia's personal safety.

Even so, since Yulia insisted on saying it, he didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm.

"Yes, I'm quite curious about the contents of the letter," Thor said, feigning interest.

Upon hearing Thor's words, Julia's eyes immediately lit up.

"That's what the Saintess said in her letter."

Julia repeated Isela's words, which were largely consistent with Thor's conjecture.

The entire text is filled with words of concern and comfort for Yulia.

Then, Julia showed Thor the original copy of yesterday's letter.

"The Holy Maiden didn't discuss running away with me, and I never even considered running away. Master, please believe me...."

After saying that, Yulia, who knows where she learned it from, started to act cute and coquettishly, clinging to Thor's arm.

"I really want to stay in this family..."

She felt that Thor's unusual behavior today stemmed from his suspicion of the letter Isela had written yesterday, and that he suspected the letter contained some kind of plot.

Thor was truly at a loss.

Yulia's imagination is truly boundless.

Since things had come to this point, Thor could only pretend to be serious.

"Of course I believe you."

"That's good~"

Julia released Thor's hand and began to recount the events of the day.

"Around noon today, that woman who was eating things was definitely acting strangely; I've been observing her the whole time."

"Uh, let's not talk about what happened yet, but don't ever use the word 'eating women' again."

Given Julia's misunderstanding of the word, Thor must stop her from misusing it.

I had already told her, but I didn't expect her to still be using that word.

"Okay..."

Yulia nodded.

"Anyway, it seemed like she was trying to follow you, but I stopped her."

Faced with Yulia's proud expression that seemed to say "Praise me," Thor had no choice but to comply.

"As expected of you, well done."

Yulia scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly.

Hehehe~

Thor thinks this trend is still good.

At least Yulia is much more normal than when she first came to the church, and she looks more like a human being.

For girls like this, encouragement is the best approach.

Yulia will surely be in charge of many tasks in the future.

Without a complete personality and absolute self-confidence, Yulia would only become a puppet mechanically following orders, unable to complete those highly difficult tasks.

He had a gut feeling.

His intuition told him that the root cause of Yulia's corruption in the original storyline might not be just a certain event.

There must be something else I can do to change this situation.

Of course, this is on the premise that one will not die from the poison.

Thor subconsciously began to think about the system's tasks.

Still no clue.

He didn't want to stay here anymore.

Women only slow down his thinking.

"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Yulia hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

Thor said goodnight to Julia and left the room.

Butler Ming had been waiting in the living room for a long time. When he saw Thor come out so quickly, he knew that the two of them were probably just talking about something.

The butler eventually gave up trying to persuade Thor.

Under the bright light of the living room, Thor casually found a chair and sat down, then continued to think about how to get Ysera to argue with him first and then reconcile with him.

At this moment, Thor wished he could transform into a demon and dominate it.

Sigh, if only I could remotely control other people.

"Um?"

Suddenly, he had an inspiration.

Thor retrieves the system's mission objectives.

1. Resolve this argument. (Required)

Required option: Resolve this argument.

Did you say who argued with whom?

Since there are no requirements, there is room for maneuver.

To Yulia, Thor was someone who could completely dominate demons, and she would do whatever he said.

Why don't I just put on a show with Yulia?

He immediately knocked on Julia's door.
