Chapter 413 He is pervert!
"Sllllurp,"
Eli casually slurped on his juice, his gaze shifting between the tense exchanges happening around him.
"B-Big brother, they're going to fight," Charlotte chimed in with a mix of fear and an amused smile, sipping her juice while also observing the scene with curious eyes.
"Damn, man! Why are you so calm?" Oliver's frown deepened as he couldn't understand Eli's relaxed demeanour amidst the brewing tension.
"Nah, they're just exchanging glares... That's all!!" Eli replied nonchalantly, his expression steady and composed.
'What the hell is he even talking about?' Oliver screamed internally, baffled by Eli's response. However, to everyone's surprise, Scylla and Prisania let out simultaneous sighs before directing their annoyed gazes at Eli.
""You influenced them, didn't you?"" Both Scylla and Prisania spoke in unison, their synchronized voices revealing their shared frustration.
"Hehe..." Eli chuckled softly, a knowing glint in his eyes, which was enough for Scylla and Prisania to confirm their suspicions.
""Tsk,""their synchronized tongue clicks echoed once more as they moved to pull Pearl and Arlyne away, indicating their intention to have a private conversation.
"W-Where are you taking her?" Oliver's frown deepened, his protective instincts kicking in.
"Don't worry, they just need to have a chat... You know, 'Girls Talk'," Eli reassured Oliver with a smile, his calm demeanour easing Oliver's doubts.
'Looks like they were doing fine...hahah' Eli chuckled inwardly thinking how Scylla and Prisania were in prefect sync.
"Anyway... Tell me about your visit, guys," Eli shifted his attention to Kyra and Kira, who were awkwardly fidgeting nearby.
"Huh? W-Well..." Kyra and Kira exchanged uncertain glances, struggling to articulate their thoughts.
"Come on, it's written all over your faces that you want to say something!" Eli encouraged them, patting Charlotte gently as she quietly sipped her juice, enjoying the lively atmosphere.
"Hahah..." Kyra laughed awkwardly before continuing, "Those two people director and that caretaker had already died in prison, and the investigation took a serious turn. The Headmaster himself took matters into his hands..."
"I see..." Eli nodded thoughtfully, realizing that his orchestrated plan had indeed caused a significant impact.

"So, what happened next?" Eli inquired, curious about the unfolding events.
"Well..." Kyra and Kira exchanged a meaningful glance before Kira spoke up, "Most of the nobles were implicated in this child trafficking scandal. Many nobles and merchants were arrested, and since it appeared that we were instrumental in assisting the Headmaster, they requested us to oversee operations at every orphanage in the Nex Academia."
"Hmm... That's commendable," Eli acknowledged with a nod. "So, you felt overwhelmed by the responsibility and sought my assistance?"
"Y-Yes," Kyra admitted, her cheeks tinted with a hint of embarrassment.
"Because you're the one who involved us in this mess, so you ought to take responsibility!" Kira stated firmly, her expression reflecting a mix of determination and playful accusation.
Eli scratched his head awkwardly, feeling a tinge of guilt for pulling them into such a complex situation. He hadn't anticipated the extent of noble involvement in such nefarious activities. After a moment of contemplation, something clicked in his mind...
"Okay, I will support you both," Eli declared with determination, though they would be shocked when he pull that stunt later.
"Sigh, that's a relief," both girls sighed in unison, visibly relieved at Eli's assurance. Handling multiple orphanages was no easy task, even for Saintesses and Princesses. The fear of making a single mistake that could tarnish their reputations loomed over them, adding to their burden.
It's really hard, You know!!

"Hello?" Eli answered the phone, his expression shifting as he listened intently. After a few nods, he replied, "I'll be there right away."
Ending the call, Eli turned to his guests, a sense of urgency in his tone as he announced, "Okay, everyone, I need to leave now...If you want something you can ask Scylla or Prisania"
"W-Wait!" Kira's sudden interjection caught Eli's attention.
"Hmm?"
"Y-You're not abandoning the orphanage visits, are you?" Kira asked nervously. She wanted to inquire directly about seeing the birds again but was too shy to ask directly.
"No, I will be there, as I still have a few days left of my punishment," Eli said with a thoughtful face, he needed to attend the orphanage a few more days but then looking at Kira, he knew what she was doing.
"Hehe..." Eli chuckled softly, patting Kira's head affectionately.
"H-Hey!" Kira swatted his hand away, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "Don't treat me like a child."
"Alright, alright," Eli smiled warmly, understanding her reaction. As he was about to leave, he crouched down behind the sofa with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"KYA!!"
The sudden scream startled everyone in the room.
"A-Amber?" Oliver's disbelief was evident as he watched Eli carry Amber away like a sack.
"What is she doing here?" Kyra questioned, surprised to see Amber in such a manner.
"More importantly, how did she even enter the house without anyone noticing?" Kira frowned, her senses telling her that no one had approached or entered the premises.
Outside,
'Thud'
"Ouch!" Amber Fox landed harshly, her cry of pain piercing the air.
"Hey, can't you handle a lady a little more gently?!" Amber shouted, wincing in discomfort as she dusted herself off.
"Well, I would if you hadn't entered my house without permission," Eli retorted, his gaze steady as he confronted her. "So, what brings you here?"
"W-Well...I..." Amber's expression shifted, a hint of awkwardness colouring her features.
Eli remained patient, waiting for her to speak. After a few moments of silence, Amber finally confessed, "I-I'm the one who did wrong, so please forgive my mother..."
Sighing softly, Eli shook his head. "I've already said it's fine, and she only owes a little."
"Please... It's me who owes you," Amber pleaded earnestly, her concern for her mother was evident in her voice. She didn't want her mother to suffer because of her foolish actions.
"I understand," Eli nodded, his gaze assessing her from head to toe. Amber instinctively flinched and defensively covered herself.
"W-What are you looking at?" Amber demanded, her expression turning defensive. Read exclusive adventures at empire
"Well, since you owe me..." Eli approached her slowly, causing Amber to back up until she was pressed against the wall outside the door.
"I-I'm not that kind of girl..." Amber protested, her cheeks burning with embarrassment as she noticed Eli's handsome features up close. However, she felt a strange sensation, as if her energy was being subtly drained in his presence.
As Eli leaned closer, Amber closed her eyes and bit her lip, determined not to let him take advantage of her.
"Hehe..." Eli chuckled softly at her reaction, finding her resistance amusing. Whispering softly, he asked, "Can I touch your tail?"
"H-Huh?" Amber's eyes snapped open in surprise and confusion, her frown deepening as she blinked rapidly. "My tail?" Her mind raced with questions, unsure of what Eli meant by his request.
"Yes..." Eli's gaze lingered on Amber's fluffy white tail with genuine curiosity. He had always found such fluffy tails and sadly no one he knew had those.
He stared at her tail, though he had restrained himself from acting on that curiosity.
"T-That is not supp--" Before Amber could finish her protest, Eli interjected with a mischievous glint in his eyes, "Then consider it a part of your mother's debt to me."
Amber bit her lip in frustration as she met Eli's cunning gaze, silently cursing his audacity inwardly. 'You pervert!' she screamed in her mind before mustering her composure and reluctantly agreeing, "Okay." Her face flushed crimson with embarrassment as she gingerly moved her tail towards him.
"Hi!! Fluffy!!" Eli exclaimed with enthusiasm as he immediately wrapped his arms around her tail, eliciting a startled gasp from Amber.
"Hi--kkk!!" Amber's body jerked involuntarily, her cheeks burning hotter as she trembled under Eli's touch.
"P-Please be gentle..." Amber's voice quivered as she pleaded with him, her body tense with discomfort.
Although Eli nodded in understanding, his actions contradicted his words as he continued to handle her tail rather roughly, his face buried in the fluffy fur as he savoured its sweet scent.
"N-No! Please~ G-Gentle... N~Not so rough~" Amber's legs wobbled as she struggled to maintain her balance, her protests falling on deaf ears as Eli persisted in his rough treatment of her tail.
Seeing her withering before him unlike her straight and haughty face, Eli couldn't help but bite her tail gently.
"HIKIKKKK!!!" Amber's body almost jumped... her body reacting with a mix of shock and tingling sensation.
"W~ha~What~ are you~ha~ doing~?" Amber's voice quivered, her face flushed with embarrassment and tears welling up in her eyes as drool trickled from the corner of her mouth.
Observing her distress, Eli's heart skipped a beat, realizing the unintended effect his actions had on her. She exuded an unintentional allure that could captivate any man without even trying.
Eli quickly withdrew his touch, stepping back to give her space to calm down. As Amber gingerly patted her tail to soothe it, her expression gradually returned to normal, replaced by a mixture of anger and annoyance as she glared at Eli.
"Y-You bastard, how dare yo--mmfff!" Amber's words were cut off as Eli silenced her with a simple peck on the lips before whispering, "Now you owe me nothing~" With a playful smile, he hurriedly made his exit.
It took Amber a moment to collect herself, her face flushed with embarrassment as she knelt down, covering her face in shame. "You pervert!" she screamed into the empty air, though Eli was long gone, his ears figuratively closed to her protests.
Meanwhile, Eli wasted no time and reached for his phone, dialling a familiar number.
"My love~"
"Mariel~" Eli's smile widened as Mariel emerged from a portal. Their lips met in a tender kiss before they vanished from Nex Academia, leaving behind a flustered Amber and a lingering sense of mischief.
