CHAPTER 360: CHAPTER 201: WHEN AUTUMN IS COMING, I TOO SHALL CHANGE COLORS_2

"How magical."

At this moment, Shami remembered the main topic and told the four girls about today’s interview results.

"So asking about our special abilities was for something like that."

The Elf Maiden realized.

No wonder giving Elze a massage opportunity, it turns out it really completed the task.

However, do the current leaders dislike directly stating the tasks?!

"Shami, can I become your student?"

Nearby, the white-haired girl’s eyes sparkled with an odd light.

A thousand unusual scenes of Shami the teacher and Lina the student flashed through her mind, and the white-haired girl looked covetously at Shami.

Academy play seems so close!

"I can’t solve those kinds of things either, it depends on the school’s arrangements."

Shami shrugged.

"If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask me, I know Saint Karno School quite well."

The Magical Girl laughed lightly at everyone, then consciously retracted her smile.

No, Saili, why are you still so relaxed?!

This isn’t the time to guide new students like a senior; your status as a Saintess is seriously threatened and needs saving!

Why did you suddenly agree to come here and soak your feet with Lureya—how strange!

"Shami."

Suddenly, the Elf Maiden bumped shoulders with Shami.

Underwater, unseen by others, snowy toes gently scraped across Shami’s foot like little fish nibbling.

"Haven’t had barbecue in a long time; before school starts, don’t we always have a good meal?"

The Elf Maiden looked forward expectantly.

Shami’s leg tingled, seeing the Elf Maiden’s longing face, and he agreed.

After all, there’s free time.

Actually, these days, following him around, the girls have been enjoying feasts almost every meal.

"I don’t have any ingredients right now. If you find them, I don’t see a problem."

"Leave the ingredients to us! Lina, didn’t you just see a few rabbits?"

Lureya happily pulled her feet from the water, standing wetly on the pebbles, gazing afar.

"Ah~ Those few cute rabbits..."

Lina slowly stood up, drawing her Long Sword with slight concern.

"They should still be around here."

"Investigation magic."

Three girls suddenly dashed off and disappeared into the forest without a trace.

Only Shami and Elze remained by the lake.

"Sorry, they’re not usually like this."

Shami explained to Elze, that his regular employees are fairly normal.

Elze gently laughed, smiling like a flower.

"The atmosphere is soooo nice."

After two seconds, Elze’s smile slowly faded as she looked at Shami, eyes somewhat shy, softly speaking.

"Shami, you said, massage is okay, right..."

"Of course, after completing a task, rewards can usually be requested."

Shami nodded.

The Dragon Race Maiden looked around; the three girls were nowhere to be seen, swallowing her saliva, somewhat impatient.

While the three girls were catching rabbits, Shami was giving her a massage.

Outdoors, physical contact, exposure, heretical, different races... all elements were present.

Just thinking about it made the Dragon Race Maiden’s head spin, and a hint of crystalline drool seemed to appear on her lips.

"Can we do it now?"

"Eh?"

"This is not good."

Shami glanced at the spot where the three girls vanished, although it was a legitimate reward, his instinct told him it would be better done privately, lest the other girls see it.

The Dragon Race Maiden’s face showed slight disappointment.

"I thought it was a reward you could redeem anytime; suddenly the reward seems less appealing."

This sentence struck Shami’s heart.

This was a specially designed incentive mechanism; if the unique incentive effect was lost, what purpose would there be?

"But since it’s a task reward, it can be redeemed anytime."

Shami looked at the Dragon Race Maiden and changed his mind.

The Dragon Race Maiden’s cheeks blushed with a hint of red, after turning white, though fleeting, the reddish hue was still evident.

Slowly withdrawing her feet from the water, crystalline droplets slid along her arched foot, trickling to her toes and dropping back into the lake, causing gentle ripples.

Her fair feet rested before Shami, still covered in water shimmer, moist and glistening.

"If it’s the feet, is that okay...?"

The Dragon Race Maiden looked at Shami, her voice growing quieter.

"They’ve just been washed, clean..."

"Of course, it’s no problem."

Shami hadn’t touched the feet of the Dragon Race before, now was the chance to feel them; his hands got active.

"Then I’ll start."

"I’m counting on you..."

The two were quite courteous.

But as someone experienced in massages, as soon as Shami started, it left the Dragon Race Maiden no longer calm; her small hands placed on either side started clenching, toes writhing wildly.

"What’s wrong?"

"Hel-help!"

Is this a demon king or a professional masseur?!

The Dragon Race Maiden’s small feet were pressed until they’re sore and numb.

Shami could feel, though pretty, the Dragon Race Maiden’s feet weren’t as soft as imagined.

Perhaps it’s due to them being Dragon Race?

He tried massaging the foot acupoints of the Dragon Race Maiden, quickly finding this method relaxed her feet, easing the muscles, and even glimpsed tiny Dragon Scales appearing on her instep.

"Elze, this massage seems beneficial for you."

Shami was slightly surprised.

Could it assist in Dragon Race Maiden’s draconic development?

"No, no, no more."

The Dragon Race Maiden’s little mouth shivered, feet straightened, hands propped on each side, while moving her body back, she tried to pull her feet from Shami’s grasp.

"Hmph, trying to escape?"

Shami wouldn’t give that chance, holding tightly onto the prized possession.

Soon, the three girls returned each carrying two rabbits.

"Eh, why is Elze puffing out white air!"

As soon as they returned, they saw Elze lying on the pebbles, mouth emitting white vapor.

"Ah..."

Nearby, Shami scratched his hair.

Clearly, the same force was used on the white-haired girl’s foot, but why did it cause the Dragon Race Maiden to roll her eyes?

"She might be resting; Dragon Race rest might be like that."

He confidently explained.

"Definitely fainted! What happened just now!"

"Alright, alright, barbecue time."

Shami waved his hand.

"Yay!"

[At the critical moment, the Dragon Race Maiden woke up and successfully ate the barbecue.]

Night.

Saint Karno City Hotel.

Family suite.

Only the living room lights were on.

Shami came out of the shower, moving quietly over the floor, back to the living room.

He prepared to sleep a bit, then act at midnight.

Having just laid on the sofa, he seemed to hear the door opening and closing.

Shami glanced towards the room’s direction, seeing a blur of darkness, without other sounds.

He was about to close his eyes again.

Suddenly, a small face slowly rose before the sofa; the Elf Maiden lying on the floor, eyes eerily staring at Shami.

"Shami, I can’t sleep."

Shami was nearly startled.

"No need to come find me like this! Were you crawling over just now?"

The Elf Maiden slowly got up, hands resting on the sofa.

"But if I wake others, things might get lively again; sometimes an Elf Maiden yearns for calm time between two people."

Focus on the latter part, right?

Shami no longer felt sleepy.

The Elf Maiden’s little face seemed somewhat discouraged as she glanced at Shami.

"Shami, I want to do a task."

Shami initially thought the flat blonde came to him seeking presence.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be overtime?

"Lureya, working so intensely isn’t good; it’ll disrupt the industry ecosystem."

"No, it’s mainly because I can’t sleep now."

The Elf Maiden propped up, sitting next to Shami.

"Hurry and give me a task. Recently, you haven’t assigned me tasks—it feels like you’ve been neglecting me..."

Shami pondered; he indeed rarely issued tasks lately, but only because the Demon Envoys were out training.

"Of course not, in my heart, Lureya is still the most important Demon Envoy, whether it’s any important task or place, you’re the first to come to mind."

"Respectfully doubtful o.O?"
