Morgan, whose sole he pressed firmly, let out a sweet and charming low cry.
“Mother, what’s wrong?” Noticing the abnormality on Morgan’s side, Gawain quickly asked.
Morgan’s face turned a little red; Eikou’s sudden action made her a bit flustered.
She didn’t understand how Eikou, who had always been passive, suddenly became so assertive.
“No…
nothing…
Gawain, could you go to the front desk and order me another coffee?”
Gawain obediently complied, standing up to order her coffee.
When Gawain was sent away, the two present couldn’t help but fall silent.
Morgan’s blue eyes glanced at Eikou, who merely took a sip of juice as if nothing had happened.
“So, you are subtly rejecting me?” she asked.
“How to put it—”
Before Eikou could explain the situation in detail, she raised her hand like a Queen, signaling him to be quiet.
“Mochizuki Eiko, allow me to speak first,” Morgan said.
“My possessiveness is very strong, and I absolutely will not allow myself to be rejected.
If anyone dares to dump me, I will haunt and curse him until he dies.
I advise you to think carefully before answering.”
Her calm tone, however, was as suffocating as the ocean beneath an iceberg.
To be able to say such words, Queen Morgan in front of him was indeed from the Lostbelt.
“However…” Morgan stirred the coffee in her cup with a spoon, her movements slightly hurried.
“Although I don’t think you have anything to be conflicted about,” she said softly, “as a future partner, I am still willing to be considerate of your situation.
Your answer is not just ‘I do’; you can also answer ‘Wait a moment’.”
“What kind of consideration is this?
In the end, doesn’t it all lead to the same destination?” Eikou thought to himself.
Forget it, for the proud, greedy, and intensely possessive Fairy Queen, this was already the greatest concession.
“I see,” Eikou showed a wry smile.
“Your Majesty, I don’t want to string you along, but thank you for your understanding.
So, ‘Wait a moment’ it is.”
“I see…” She nodded thoughtfully.
“It seems you still have ‘undecided matters’.
It’s fine; I will be patient until you make your decision.”
“Why use the word ‘patient’?
It sounds really subtle,” Eikou thought.
“Your Majesty, don’t you think this is unfair to you?”
“Unfair?
What’s unfair about it?” Morgan blinked her icy blue eyes, showing a pure bewilderment.
Then, she seemed to understand something, and her lips curved into a smile.
“Don’t misunderstand, Mochizuki Eiko.
I am not the kind of boring woman who will obediently wait.
When I say patience, I mean trying to restrain myself from bothering you, but that doesn’t mean I will give up my pursuit of you.
One thing, you must remember…”
Her delicate body suddenly leaned forward, and she hooked her slender, fair hand around his tie on his school uniform, almost gently pulling him closer.
Her cherry lips, painted with lipstick, breathed out a sweet and alluring voice into his ear:
“My offensive will be very intense from now on, little boy.”
“…”
Blown in the ear by her, Eikou felt as if all the bones in his body were turning soft.
When he heard Gawain’s loud footsteps, Morgan released his tie, and the two quickly separated.
Gawain looked at the flushed Eikou and the suddenly cheerful Morgan with a puzzled expression, not quite understanding what had happened while he was away.
“Lord Eikou, why is your face so red?
Did you eat chili?”
“To put it simply…” Eikou merely said meaningfully, “I tasted an extra-strong, specially blended coffee from the adult world.”
“Although I don’t quite understand, it sounds like something worth celebrating.”
“It is indeed very much worth celebrating,” Morgan added.
Nighttime at the Dormitory
[You quickly finished dinner.]
[Morgan saw you off at the school gate, simply bidding you farewell, and stated that she would further investigate the matter of Edison’s factory.]
[That night, you and Gawain took a comfortable hot bath in the public bathhouse, washing away the fatigue of the day’s busyness.
At ten o’clock at night, when the dormitory lights went out, you lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and scrolled through messages about Sesshouin Kiara on your phone.]
[Several students have gone missing on campus, and these cases have been investigated as being related to Sesshouin Kiara.]
[This made you wonder if this terrifying woman had bypassed the dormitory’s security procedures and quietly come to seek revenge on you?]
[Fortunately, the person sleeping in the bunk below you was Gawain; even if something really happened, he could protect you.]
[You were restlessly unable to sleep, thinking about your future course of action: you had to find a way to gather 3000 QP to participate in the Social Gathering, and then figure out how to conquer Baobhan Sith.
Once you accomplished all this, you might truly have the strength to contend with Sessyoin.]
[At one o’clock in the morning, you suddenly really needed to use the restroom, but Gawain was already asleep, and you didn’t quite dare to go to the restroom alone through the dark corridor, because you were afraid that Sessyoin would attack you from some dark corner.]
[Just as you were finally getting a little sleepy and preparing to go to sleep, you received another message.]
[This time it was a selfie of Morgan in her pajamas.]
“Does this woman really know what patience means?”
Sending such a photo at a time like this just makes it harder for someone to sleep, damn it!
[ Night Event ]
[At two in the morning, you were really about to burst from needing to pee.]
[At half past three in the morning, you seemed to hear a woman’s low whispers coming from the dark, long corridor… The sound was filled with resentment and anger, as deep and bottomless as the shadows in the corridor, passing through your room like a cold wind.]
[This is a male dormitory; how could there be a woman’s voice coming from the corridor?
Yet you heard it clearly, convinced it was absolutely not an auditory hallucination.
In the dead of night, a woman was wandering in your dormitory building, seemingly looking for something…]
[You vaguely felt that the shadow had already stood at the door of your room.]
[Please roll a Luck check.]
“What’s going on?
Why is it like a horror game!
Is that Sessyoin or a ghost?
What will happen if my luck check fails?”
“Gawain, save me!
There’s a female ghost in the dorm building!”
[ Check Result ]
[The dice result is D, lower than your Luck A, check successful.]
[You immediately covered yourself with the blanket, held your breath, and pretended to be asleep.
Your luck was good; the dark shadow failed to discover your presence.]
[You felt her slowly retreating from your room.]
[You passed the night without incident.]
