Chapter 294: Incomprehensible

“Welcome to my humble abode…”

I said as I watched Silvia and Lys enter my room, along with Alice who I sent to open the door for them, because she is the least intimidating, and that was important, otherwise it would ruin the atmosphere.

Again, I sat on the couch like a person of importance, with Selene on my lap, Eira sitting on the arm of the couch and Elena and Aurora behind me.

With the lights half turned off and leaving us barely visible, with a little magic I can make there’s a sort of menacing aura coming off of us, and our eyes stand out that much more in the dark, everything was perfect.

“Hey, why did you suddenly turn off the lights and sit me down here?”(Eira).

“~Shhh, Eira, don’t ask questions. Just act intimidating.”

“Haaah~, My Lady, how come you’re so quick to fool around?” (Elena)

“I didn’t even realize it. I just blinked and I was already here….now I’m on this side, eh? haaah~.” (Aurora)

“~Silence! They only emanate the aura of henchmen of a secret organization”.

“yep,…prrr.”(Selene)

“What secret organization?”(Eira)

“… I still don’t understand how this Dumb, intimidated me with this.” (Aurora)

“o but if it worked right”

“My Lady, there is no need for this.” (Elena)

“Hey, don’t I understand what we’re doing?” (Eira)

“~Shhh, we have to leave a strong impression. be quiet!”

The girls are too bad at being henchmen. At least Selene was cooperating and playing her part correctly. Without paying any more attention to them, I looked at the duo that came in.

“What can I help you ladies with. Do you desire power, fame, fortune, a boyfriend? I will grant them.”

“What? S-seriously?” (Lys)

“Lys, don’t play along. And you, stop talking nonsense! I came to ask you to…” (Silvia)

“Hush, you big-breasted woman. I’m talking to the beautiful lady with cyan hair. Beautiful lady, tell me your deepest desires and I will fulfill them-”

“~Collisio… Magmatis…”

(Silvia)

“Damn it, Silvia, I can hear you! What spells are you whispering? Stop it! You’re ruining the mood!”

“You stop your nonsense!” (Silvia)

“Sorry, Miss Silvia, she was faster than me.” (Elena)

“I don’t want to be here either, she just put me here.” (Aurora)

“Really, what is this about? I’m not understanding anything.” (Eira)

“Be quiet, henchmen, you mustn’t talk!!!”

“눈_눈”(Elena).

“Okay, I’ll stop. Just put George away. I just wanted to make a big impression on Lys.”

“To me!….w-well, it certainly was a great impression. You’re Se-Phina, aren’t you? You’re even more beautiful than before.” (Lys)

“See?! If I hadn’t stopped, I would have known what kind of guy she likes. Tsk, Silvia, starting with you, I’m disappointed in your bad cooperation. what happened to our team, Silvi-Phina?”

“…., Lys, let’s go back. It was a bad idea to come after all.”(Silvia)

“Uh, oh… but.”(Lys)

“Wait! Let’s calm down. Do you want a dessert? It’s exotic, from a faraway country. You’re here for the banquet, right? In fact, we were preparing for it. Leave it to me! I’m one of the finest ladies of the nobility, no one is better than me, you can count on me!”

“Haaah… Well, as long as you stop your nonsense and don’t sexually harass Lys, it’s fine….”(Silvia)

“Hey, I have to say that there is a bias here that you need to correct as it can make Lys misunderstand me and see me as a pervert.”

“You are.” (Elena)

“No doubt about it.” (Silvia)

“That’s not even up for discussion, you are a pervert.” (Aurora)

“That’s a fact.” (Eira)

“Pervert.” (Selene)

“Big Sister, that’s part of your charm and…. hum…” (Alice)

“All of you! How can you, saying that really are going to make Lys misunderstand me….. And Lys, don’t listen to them. I’m a refined lady and the flower of society. Ehem… So, Silvia, you want me to help them with dresses and such, right?”

“Yes, in fact, as you must know, the party is coming. Even though it’s still more than a month away, I thought I had to do it in advance.”(Silvia)

“And you thought very well. Well, it’s time to act. Let’s see… your measurements are. ■■■ In the chest…. well, I was still going to order custom-made dresses. The waist would be ■■ and the hips would be ■■■. Yes, it would be difficult if they weren’t custom-made. And Lys’s are -■■, ■■, ■■ Okay, those are easy.”

“H-How did you…?”(Lys).

“oh Lys, I have a gift, the more beautiful the girl, the more accurate I am and you Lys are very beautiful.”

“se-seriously… I really am beautiful”(Lys).

’Oh it slipped out’

The habit of flirting and saying compliments to Lys made it slip out naturally, but if I think about it it’s not that bad, I don’t plan on approaching Lys in that sense with this identy , but I thought it would be nice to get along with her.

Besides, I like the way she blushes and gets flustered by my compliments. She’s still as weak to them as ever.

“Oh, there’s no doubt you’re beautiful. No, come to think of it, that word is not enough. Even the word ’goddess’ falls short.”

“Hehe~(≧▽≦)/! S-Stop it…for someone as beautiful as you-you to tell me that makes me embarrassed.” (Lys)

“Yes, you’re the most beautiful flower of- Ughh!Why are you kicking me!”

“I didn’t bring Lys here for you to flirt with her.” (Silvia)

“I wasn’t flirting! I was just telling her the truth-what’s wrong with that?”

“…” (Silvia)

“Tsk, sometimes I don’t understand you, Silvia…. And you, Eira? Why did you kick me? Oh, you don’t have to answer, I know.”

“Wh-what just annoyed me with your impudence…. I mean it! Stop looking at me like that.” (Eira)

“Hmm, I see… Well, let me tell you that you’re beautiful too and so cute that I’d like to keep you just for myself. I curse your boyfriend for having you to himself.”

“Hmph! What you said doesn’t make sense! Silly! Hmph!” (Eira)

“Hue~ even so, you’re still my pretty kitty.”

“That’s enough! Just to…(≧□≦)” (Eira)

“Heuheu~ well, I’ll stop. Ehem!… Well, now that I have your measurements…”

I stopped, since lately I’ve noticed that she’s also weak to compliments, but if there are people around and she gets too embarrassed she can attack me and starts getting physical.

Although, when we are alone she just lets himself get even more spoiled.

’well anyway I’ve got her measurements, I’m going to call Felix and ….oh!’

Just as I was thinking about contacting Felix, something came to my mind…or rather, someone.

“humm… girls wait a moment, I’ll be back in a moment…”.

I thought about it for a moment and, after a little internal struggle, I went outside my room and peeked into the corridor.

It was empty, but I extended my senses to the far corner and focused on it…though hard to spot, Indeed, there she was.

Honestly, I preferred that I had to go all the way to her room which was in the other corner of the dorms rather than find her like that, but I swallowed that thought.

I stepped out where she could obviously see me and motioned for her to come closer.

It was then that Cordelia came out from behind a large flower pot that adorned the hallway, she as always had a threatening face, and approached me.

“What’s going on, what did you call me for?”

’Yeah, it looks like we’re going to ignore the fact that she came out from behind a flower pot…. ’

On the other hand, she still had her face that directed threat and annoyance towards me, sometimes I wonder if what happened that day was a dream or a nightmare.

But then I remember the magnificent hour-long orgy and reaffirm its realism.

Even though I promised Astrid to get close to her and let things happen naturally, I still don’t think I’m ready to go much further than I am now, not to mention that her attitude hasn’t changed at all.

She still seems to hate me and if I didn’t know better I’d think she only came out because I provoked her or something.

“C-Cordelia, this…. well, the girls in our group got together. I was wondering if… would you like to come in? We’re going to talk about dresses and I could help you with yours, plus…”

the intensity of her gaze was putting pressure on me, and it was increasing the more she spoke, I can barely look her in the eyes.

“…No, I need your help…”

“Uh, oh, well, if that’s the case, there’s nothing I can-”

“But since you deigned to invite me, I won’t refuse your offer. Lead the way.”

“Uh, yeah, well… Just come into my room.”

“Well…”

Even though I told her that and she responded, she just stared at me intently and then turned her gaze towards the door of my room.

Honestly, I’m very on guard being around her, and I’m only keeping in touch because of my promise to Astrid.

I was doing the best I could, inviting her to lunch or trying to group with her during practical classes.

Now I gave up on her with my Chris identity, but even as Seraphina… I don’t think I can even try to seduce her yet.

Even with everything I learned about her through Astrid, she still seems incomprehensible to me. I don’t even understand what she’s thinking right now, and every time I remember that room, my hair stands on end.

Astrid says she’s doing the best she can. She even told me that she confessed to Cordelia that she was dating me (Chris), since, after so many things, it was easy for her to say.

She said she hadn’t introduced me to her before because she was afraid to. She didn’t know how to explain to his daughter about me and she, so Cordelia didn’t even know that Astrid was in a relationship, in the least.

The day after she told her that, Cordelia spent the whole day staring at me in silence, not saying a word. Luckily, she acted normal afterwards, as if nothing had happened, which made me understand her even less.

From the little I managed to understand about her, is that she is a ticking time bomb that Astrid has to fix.

From my recent interactions, both as Chris and with Seraphina, I’ve come to realize that Cordelia thinks she just wants a friendship, it would be nice if that’s all it was, but I’m sure that’s not the case.

Also, I think that since she doesn’t know my tastes, she’s not on guard with girls and such, but if she were to find out or even learn that I’m dating them…who knows what thoughts would start to rattle around in her head.

Honestly, it worries me, and I shared that with Astrid, who told me I was overreacting a bit, but would prove to me that nothing would happen.

’Haaah~… well, so what. Worst case scenario, I’ll sacrifice a doppelgänger.’

’Yeah, number two.’

“Hey, let’s improve the skill and see if we can make a number three by then.”
