The weather on Saturday morning was excellent, giving Felyn a renewed sense of summer.

Felyn hung all the clothes from the bucket on the clothesline, letting the wind blow them into fluttering flags.

Among them, Daiyi's long dress was particularly beautiful, turning the rooftop into a scenic spot.

These past few days, Olivia had been in a deep sleep, just as the doctor had said.

However, her indicators were getting better and better. It probably wouldn't be long before she would wake up briefly, and then he could have his first normal conversation with her.

The last piece of clothing was clipped on by Felyn, left to dance in the air.

"Felyn, why am I missing a set of underwear?"

Today, Daiyi also came up to the balcony with Felyn to hang the clothes.

"Why are you asking me? I didn't take it."

"Not necessarily. Didn't you specifically run to a magical beast's home to steal underwear last time?"

"That's really unfair. The word 'specifically' makes me sound like a pervert. What normal person would take such a big risk to steal a magical beast's underwear?"

"Isn't my boyfriend that kind of person?"

Daiyi came up behind Felyn and gently poked him as he was arranging the clothes on the clothesline.

"So I'm a pervert, and what about you? Knowing I'm a pervert and still being with me, you're not much better, are you?"

"That's different. I was transformed from an innocent girl into a pervert by you."

"Teacher Daiyi, you're being too modest. In terms of perversion, I'm far from your level."

Felyn stacked a few basins together, preparing to take them downstairs later.

The wind was warm today, making one want to stay on the balcony a little longer.

He leaned against the railing, looking out at Seiva.

The view was also very good today; the tall magi-crystal city walls of the distant capital district were faintly visible.

That was the place he wanted to go, and also the place he had to go.

Daiyi also came to Felyn's side at this moment. She leaned back against the railing, her arms crossed over her chest, her fingertips lightly resting on her elbows.

Her hair was also blown up by the wind, and her long black hair brushed against Felyn's cheek.

Daiyi and Felyn were looking in completely opposite directions. She was looking towards the district of the Church of Truth.

The shadow of the clothesline cut them apart, forming two worlds.

The black shadow in the middle seemed insurmountable, but if one really reached out, they would find it was just a lock in their hearts.

"I'm going out for a bit later. I've left lunch for you."

"A date with which girl again? It's not good to do that kind of thing in broad daylight. Wait until night to do it."

"It's not a date. I'm going to the dungeon. The school festival needs Starfire Crystal Dust for nighttime decorations. The required amount is huge; even buying up all the Starfire Crystal Dust in Seiva isn't enough."

Starfire Crystal Dust, this sparkling crystal powder stored in exquisite glass bottles, would float in the air once released, emitting a soft starlight that illuminated the entire night sky.

If Starfire Crystal Dust was used on the night of the school festival, the entire venue would become incredibly romantic.

And this proposal was also strongly recommended by Adeline. She said it would leave all the students with beautiful and romantic memories.

Starfire Crystal Dust was originally a crystalline powder released by a magical beast on the 6th floor of the dungeon during an attack. It was collected by adventurers and processed into decorations.

The production cost was high, and it was very dangerous, so the price was extremely expensive.

Only noble academies like Lancher and Saint Andros would purchase it on a large scale with a sufficient budget.

However, there weren't many places selling Starfire Crystal Dust in all of Seiva, and the quantity was still a little short, so someone needed to go to the dungeon to collect it.

Felyn leaned on the railing, lazily basking in the sun and smelling the scent of laundry detergent.

He was going to the dungeon for another reason besides the school festival.

Since absorbing Dorothy's magical power last time, Felyn felt a great change in his body.

He could clearly feel the enhancement effect of his divine affinity on his physical fitness, which made him look forward to the change in the power of his sigils even more.

The higher the affinity, the greater the power of the sigil.

He just didn't know if it would be helpful to his gacha-like golden finger. Would it change due to the change in his divine affinity?

Originally, the gacha was just two sigils stacked together, activated and terminated at the same time, and then it would randomly produce a sigil of a different rank from 1 to 7. The larger the area of physical contact with someone, the greater the chance of releasing a high-rank sigil.

But now Felyn felt that every part of his body had the power of [Herlomir].

This god who was jointly killed by the gods hundreds of years ago; this god whose traces were completely erased by other divine churches over hundreds of years, what special abilities did she have?

Felyn could only find out by going to the dungeon to fight.

He urgently needed to become stronger, urgently needed to have the power to get rid of Dorothy.

"Oh right, speaking of which, I was cornered at home by one of your girls last time. That one is also a magical beast from the dungeon, right? You have to be careful not to run into her."

"Yeah, but I've learned my lesson this time. I won't go near anything suspicious."

That magical beast with dark purple hair, that magical beast who liked to wear cute striped underwear.

Thanks to Bernice "praising" Felyn in front of her, Felyn was now very afraid of meeting her again.

Damn it!!

"Work hard today, boyfriend. I'll be going to the school festival too."

"Eh? You're going too?"

"I was jointly invited by Her Highness the Princess and the principals of both schools. What do you think, I didn't embarrass you, did I?"

After saying this, Daiyi's hand gripped the railing tightly, her hair blown by the wind obscuring her expression.

She opened her mouth, and the world seemed to fall silent at this moment, listening to her voice.

"After the school festival, I'll most likely be going back."

"You're not going to school in the capital district anymore?" Felyn turned his head, not expecting this day to come so quickly.

"The plan has changed. My family is urging me."

Daiyi would leave.

And most likely, they would never see each other again in this lifetime.

Felyn felt he should say something at this moment, but the words were stuck in his throat.

Should he comfort her that the future would be better? Or should he say handsomely, "I won't let you go back. I want to be with you forever."

"If you stay in the sun for too long, your face will get dark."

Felyn took off his jacket and came to stand in front of Daiyi.

He draped the jacket over Daiyi's head, not letting the sun ruin her beauty.

Her dark green eyes shimmered with a starlike glow in the shadow, reflecting Felyn's silhouette.

Felyn's hand accidentally brushed against her cool earlobe. As his hand subconsciously moved away, it lifted the edge of the jacket.

The sunlight that leaked in streaked a golden light across her eyes, like a meteor falling into a turquoise lake.

"So do you like me fairer, or darker?"

The girl's breath brushed against the back of Felyn's hand, creating ripples.

"I like you the way you are now."

Felyn and Daiyi were playing a dangerous game. Both of them knew it was just a confrontation between them.

But both of them also knew that it was easy to get caught up in this kind of game.

No one can remain rational forever.

Not even Daiyi, not even Felyn.
