I have to hypnotize you, Aura!

Flame gritted her teeth; she was now genuinely interested in dealing with Frilian.

If this were in modern times, it would be perfectly understandable. When under a lot of pressure, taking a break occasionally and using silent water magic is a perfectly legitimate thing to do, right?

"Really... Flame is so unreasonable."

"I'll eat quickly."

Frilian rubbed her head; it really hurt now. Although she didn't know why Flame was angry, Flame's anger was a bit scary, so she decided not to provoke her.

“Haha, what happened at the tavern was just a joke. I just wanted to talk to Ms. Flame about something,” Fingel said with a smile. “Actually, what I wanted to say was that I would like to offer some financial support to Ms. Flame’s cause.”

kindness?

Flame frowned slightly, a bad feeling creeping over her.

“I’ve heard that Ms. Flame wants to promote the learning of magic by humans? I’m willing to provide the venue and funding for this, and I will also submit a proposal to the kingdom.”

"If you're going to learn magic, wouldn't it be best to start in your teens?"

"If they want to learn magic, they will become an additional burden on the family. They should be the labor force of the family."

Fingel's plan was finally revealed.

"So...Ms. Flame, you wouldn't want your disciples to live a life of hardship, sleeping outdoors and going hungry, would you?"

Chapter Twenty-Five: Beautiful women love to lie the most.

Sunlight streamed through the glass, casting an amber glow on her soft, orange hair, while the rising steam from the coffee diffused the delicate profile of her face.

Her fingers tapped lightly on the wooden tabletop—she believed that the world was rarely kind without reason, and even less so for someone like Fingel.

"What's the price?"

Flame chuckled softly, her eyes seemingly gazing into the distance... This fluctuation of magical energy... I can see it.

"No, I just simply want to support your career."

Fingel spoke as if it were the truth, his expression filled with longing.

[Flame has slight doubts about your words...]

[Entry generated: Favorability slightly decreased, should we implant it?]

Did you select "No"?

"You want to sleep with me, don't you?" Flame said softly, putting down her coffee cup, puncturing the hypocrisy.

These men will say anything when it comes to sex.

kindness?

Is it so direct?

Fingel coughed twice, an answer he hadn't expected. Was he not going to act anymore? Hajime, you really make me happy.

Oh yeah, I just want to sleep with you, is that wrong?

However, he definitely couldn't say those words out loud.

However, Fingel also came to understand the woman's true nature better. It was clear that Ms. Flamel had been acting all along; she was not the kind of person who acted coy.

They're the type who's willing to pay any price to achieve their goal.

Even one's own body.

Should he just directly admit whether or not they can have sex? He doesn't like going through this kind of process.

However, although he thought this way, he didn't say it directly, as that would make him seem like a pervert.

"...I don't understand. Is it that straightforward, sis? It's not like that. Who am I in your heart?" Fingel wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, and said, "It's normal to be a little confused. It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

who?

Nature is abnormal.

So, isn't that right?

"Isn't all you want my body? You've been staring at my breasts and fasting so many times along the way."

Flame stared straight into his eyes, her indifferent expression making it impossible to know what she was thinking.

"No, no, it's really not."

"Just making friends."

Fingel coughed twice. Had my perfect disguise been exposed? What a failure.

Good for you.

"Flame is getting old too... Humans are all like this, aren't they?"

Frillie chimed in at this moment, her eyes darting around as if she were somewhat distracted.

Fingel had no idea what was wrong with these two; they were just incredibly strange.

To everyone's surprise, Flamme made a startling statement, completely devoid of any feudalistic woman's manners.

She gulped down the last bit of coffee in two sips, wiped her mouth with her handkerchief, and gave Fingel a bright smile.

"Okay, I promise you."

"Let's do it tonight. Since you, sir, have taken a fancy to my pitiful body, I have no reason to refuse."

Flame touched her pretty chin with her fingertips, a blush rising to her face as if she were shy, though Fingel thought she was acting.

"Anyway, Lord Fingel is very handsome, has a good physique, and a high status. Why wouldn't I agree?"

?

“Ah Zhe.…”

Fingel was speechless for a moment. "You're making me a little confused," he frowned slightly. "The system's favorability rating is just over 'friendly.' Maybe any kind old lady would have this kind of favorability rating. Only someone like Aura, who has no common sense, can be manipulated at will. He can be brainwashed with just a couple of low-level terms."

Fingel had some doubts about Flamel.

If the other side has a system, then this is how it should be explained.

That doesn't make sense. My methods aren't particularly clever. My usual way of dating was just sitting there with my handsome face waiting for girls to take the bait. I don't know anything about picking up girls.

He couldn't understand what this person was trying to do, but it was ultimately a good thing... was that right?

Fingel frowned... Something felt off; was she planning to run away that night...? Should she agree? There might be a trap!

But...but...I'm so tempted!

He had to admit that he was tempted!

While it's more enjoyable with love, it's also enjoyable without love! It even quenches thirst!

To be fair, unless his life is in danger, Mr. Fingel still prefers to think like his younger brother. Mr. Charles is coming!

"Are you serious? If so, please let me sponsor your activities."

Fingel's throat bobbed... Spalashi, can we start tonight?

Battle against human heroines!

That's great!

“Of course.” Flame smiled, then made a request, “But for now, could Lord Fingel grant us some freedom for the time being?”

"Um...no problem."

Faced with the stunningly beautiful and mature woman's outburst, Fingel, who had only washed his feet, was like a green recruit, momentarily speechless. "Let's go, Frilline..."

Flame grabbed Frilian and left, their actions swift and decisive, leaving everyone wondering what they were up to.

Until a haughty female voice drifted from afar...

"Fingal! What have you been doing these past few days?" Aura's voice rang out from afar. "Just those two women? Honestly, they're nothing special. And there's even an elf among them. Your taste is terrible."

kindness?

Fingel's expression changed drastically. Oh no!

How could that be... According to his prediction, under the brainwashing of the system, Aura would definitely rest in the castle for a few years. For demons, who have a similarly weak sense of time, they rarely move around. Moreover, they are all homebodies and can stay indoors for years with maids serving them.

But...but...why did this woman come out?!

Shouldn't it?

Unfortunately, Aura's desire to find Fingel was something that seemed absurd in the past. How could demons, being self-centered creatures, care about others?

Basically, no one would think of such a thing, because it's impossible.

"The magic of the protective barrier."

The next second, a transparent barrier suddenly enveloped Fingel.

He suddenly remembered that old saying... Beautiful women are really good at deceiving people.

Author's Note: Brothers, how's the writing going...? I'm so nervous, I'm so worried. You guys won't dislike it, will you? Just thinking about you reading my book while calling it "trash, trash," and saying, "This kind of writing is ridiculous? Seriously trash—this kind of nonsense just breaks my heart... No way!! Please, oh dear, how is it? Is it good? I love you all QVQ

By the way, if it's a pretty girl, you can give it a like, but with my limited knowledge, there probably aren't many pretty girls watching (laughs).

Chapter Twenty-Six: What you love is your life.

...

Without the slightest hesitation, Flame devised a tactic in just one second—to approach Aura as quickly as possible and kill her before she could react.

She ran nimbly and swiftly, her feet treading on the breeze, and the moment she approached Aura, she unleashed her fastest single-target attack spell.

"The magic of the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire."

A blazing red lotus bloomed from the void, scorching the air and creating distorted ripples. A rain of fire poured down, setting everything ablaze in its wake, even burning the shadows to ashes.

Even from a distance of several dozen meters, the sky was instantly dyed red by the flames.

kindness?

Although Aura didn't know why this woman was casting magic right away, she became slightly wary when she sensed a 'weak' magical fluctuation emanating from the other woman.

Fortunately, she was accompanied by at least a dozen puppets—the largest metal puppet stood in front of her, wielding a two-handed greatsword. It broke through the blue bricks and charged forward, its blade slashing down from above. The moment the blade collided with the red lotus, thousands of sparks flew.

"boom!"

Inheriting the puppet's powerful strength from its previous life, it cleaved the flames in two with a single strike. The molten iron-red flames split and exploded along the blade, creating ten-zhang-long walls of fire on both sides of the puppet. Aura's hair was blown about by the heat wave, swaying and dancing like waves.

Although the sword cleaved through the flames, the puppet soldier collapsed from the direct impact, completely losing its fighting ability.

"...Where did this crazy woman come from? Really!" Aura was suddenly attacked; her pupils contracted to pinpoints, and her delicate eyebrows shot up like drawn blades. "Kill him!"

At her command, more puppets poured out of the town—determined to kill Flame.

At that moment, Aura also saw the fool inside a transparent barrier.

Tsk.

That useless paramecium was actually tricked by a human woman.

I might as well just stomp him to death. No, why should I reward him?

"You two weak humans... are trying to steal my toy? Honestly, you don't have big breasts and you're not even that cute. Human males are such indiscriminate creatures."

"You actually dared to use our demonic magic to ambush us? A bunch of despicable thieves."

Aura looked disdainful. She compared them in her mind and thought, "Hmm, my legs are definitely prettier."

However, she could understand why a leg-obsessed pervert like Fingel would be attracted to these two women; a monkey is a monkey.

She wouldn't care if it were an ordinary woman, and she wouldn't care who Fingel wanted to have sex with, but these two guys were clearly not good for her.

'Did it block it? This magic... is it for creating puppets? A very powerful puppet... but something feels off.'

Flame was somewhat surprised. This did not seem to be an ordinary minion demon. Other demons would have been killed instantly by her long ago.

This demon talks a lot, but... a demon is a demon.

"Really... When did magic become the exclusive domain of demons in the city? I've never heard of such a thing." Flame's lips curled into a gentle smile, like a crescent moon, but deep within her amber eyes lay icy coldness. "As for you, you seem quite confident in your magic."
