I have to hypnotize you, Aura!

He rushed to the kitchen and ate several pieces of white bread and drank honey to replenish his energy.

He recovered quickly and found that the enhancement effect of the potion would fade over time. For example, the abnormal characteristics of his body had basically disappeared, but his physical fitness and recovery ability were largely retained.

In this case...

On it!

In the kitchen, under the disapproving gaze of the thirty-something-year-old maid who looked at him as if he were crazy, Fingel lowered the brim of his non-existent baseball cap and began to laugh at Yagami Tsukiyo.

Whether in the wind, clouds, mountains, or sea, at the end of a cruel fairyland where vows of eternal love are made, hidden in the skirts of beautiful girls, the goal is... to become a master of training slave girls! The doctor is here! Sylvie-san!

Should I drink black tea today, or black tea, or black tea?

He grinned menacingly as he pulled out a system prize—a black tea recipe unlocked by reaching a certain level of friendliness with Aura!

At the time, he didn't pay much attention, wondering what use black tea was.

Later, he realized something was wrong...

[Unlocked successfully....]

[Black Tea Recipe]

【Ingredients: xxg of Red Scale Red Leaves... 1 spoonful of Alluring Honey】

[Effect: A peculiar formula that alleviates fatigue while simultaneously increasing a strange level of excitement...]

【Origin: xxx World】

[Review: Master's black tea...I love it the most! ...Master's hands are so warm.....]

"Hehehehehehe!!"

Fingal laughed as he grabbed the teapot and strode confidently toward the dungeon.

Dark Dungeon, activate!

................................

In the damp dungeon, mold covered the seeping stone walls, and the rusty smell of iron chains mixed with the stench of rotting flesh filled the nostrils.

The master and apprentice were hung on the rack, their hands tightly gripped by cold iron handcuffs. Flame's wet hair clung to her pale face, and water droplets fell from the ends of her hair, making a faint sound in the darkness.

Now she and Frilian are both imprisoned in the dungeon—their hands are cuffed with chains, and they are kneeling on the cold, grassy ground.

With the help of several maids, the two women changed into prison clothes. They looked extremely pitiful, cold and hungry, and hadn't suffered like this in years.

"Seriously... it's so hard to use magic? Things are getting complicated. I never expected something like this to exist."

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Flame's forehead. She tried to use magic to burn off the handcuffs, but could only manage to produce faint sparks at her fingertips.

These handcuffs can actually suppress magic? Unbelievable.

“There’s really no way…and our staffs have all been taken away.” Frilian also tried to cast a spell, but found it completely ineffective. “What should we do now, Flame?”

"Now...!!!!"

Rats scurried past my feet in the darkness.

Flame was startled and instinctively shrank back quite a distance... It's a little embarrassing to admit, but even though she kills demons like chickens, she can't stand rats and insects.

"So you're afraid of this kind of thing, Flame... I never expected that." A slightly surprised expression appeared on Frilian's usually calm face. "I thought you didn't have anything to fear."

Although they spent only a few months together, in Frilian's eyes, her master was a powerful, intelligent, considerate, and gentle human woman.

“That’s normal, okay… Every human being has fears, and I have fears too.” Flame breathed a sigh of relief as she noticed the rat had run away, and her violently heaving chest calmed down. “Even elves are the same, Frilian.”

"There's nothing shameful about it; what matters is how you face your fear—that's what we say."

"Courage is the hymn of humanity, and I think it is the same for elves."

Face your fear.

Frillie thought about it carefully... She was slightly afraid of being confined in a narrow, dark environment, and had even had a nightmare about being eaten by a box.

Well... isn't that what it is now?

! !

She had been held captive for several hours before she finally realized what was happening... Suddenly, Frillie became frightened. The usually aloof Frillie trembled, and even a few tears welled up in her eyes.

Frillie's slender fingers tightened unconsciously, her lowered eyelashes and moist eyes were veiled with mist, and her breathing became fine and disordered.

Her thin shoulders hunched over, the dungeon environment making her feel a little cold.

terrible!

This was her first time in jail, and she was a little scared.

I instantly forgot what Flame had said about courage and hymns; who understands that anyway?

"It's so...so dark here. I'm a little scared of Flame. Can I get closer?"

Frillie curled up slightly and leaned against her master.

"Oh...of course."

Flame has sighed countless times today... Frilian is still just a child.

Yes, a child over a thousand years old.

"Flame...we'll be beheaded? I've heard that human nobles execute commoners who disrespect them, do elves do the same?"

Frillie leaned pitifully against her master's chest. Although she was usually a little concerned, she now felt somewhat at ease.

"Well... that's probably not the case."

"why?"

Flame frowned slightly, her pale golden eyelashes trembling in the candlelight, a somewhat troubled smile on her face... How could she explain it? She couldn't very well say that the perverted man wanted to sleep with her; there was no way he would kill her.

How did it turn out like this?

I made too many mistakes.

First, she underestimated Fingel's strength, becoming somewhat careless because she saw him struggling to kill a black bear.

Secondly, my lack of experience fighting powerful human warriors made me hesitate a little before taking action.

Third, and most importantly—!

Flame's eyes were dim beneath her half-closed eyelids, and a barely audible sigh escaped from the tip of her nose as she closed her eyes. Her fingers unconsciously rubbed her temples... She never imagined that a human would stay by the side of a dangerous demon just to get into bed.

For the first time, she realized so profoundly that humans cannot understand each other.

Is it possible for humans to do that kind of thing with demons?

To clarify: Flame didn't risk her life to get Frilian to surrender.

Flame wanted Frilian to understand humanity, not to kill—Frilian might have the power to kill those soldiers directly, but that wasn't acceptable to Flame. Rather than have Frilian kill, she preferred to shoulder her responsibility as a mentor, sacrificing herself for the protagonist. That's the logic. I think some readers have misunderstood; it's terrifying.

Chapter 35: I'd do anything as long as Frillian gets better.

They didn't dwell on whether humans and demons could have sex.

From some subtle clues, Flame keenly discovered that although the demon kept calling him a 'servant' and a 'slave,' Fingel was not actually controlled by the demon. On the contrary, the demon seemed to care about Fingel's words and even helped him use magic to take control of the human town.

What's going on here...? Are humans controlling the demon race?

As the most talented human mage in a thousand years, she possesses a talent that even Celia marvels at, and has an insightful perspective that sees right through people to the core of all sorts of strange events.

What kind of method is that... mind control? Illusion?

It's all possible.

Just then, a clapping sound came from outside.

"Clap clap clap."

“Ms. Frilian, your master is right—I would never harm you, please rest assured.”

Fingel pushed a metal food cart into the dungeon with a smile on his face. The cart was laden with desserts, black tea, and other items.

He was wearing a flamboyant dark red velvet tuxedo, the silver-embroidered thorn pattern gleaming coldly in the candlelight.

Her long golden hair was loosely tied up with a dark green ribbon, with a few strands falling beside her well-defined cheeks, making her pale golden eyes appear even deeper—as if hiding some kind of suppressed emotion.

Upon seeing Fingel arrive, both the master and apprentice became nervous.

"You mean you won't hurt us—does that mean you'll just lock us up here?" Flame asked calmly. "That doesn't seem quite right, does it?"

'This person... even changed into a formal suit? Was it intentional?'

She frowned slightly. What a despicable tactic. Did they think they could break down her psychological defenses this way?

Flame naturally had no idea that there was such a thing as PUA; she only knew that this pervert definitely had ill intentions.

The system's favorability-boosting function is especially effective; it's like applying iodine to a whip while simultaneously disinfecting the area.

Frillie just stared intently at Fingel, somewhat annoyed.

This was the first time he had ever had such a bad impression of a human being—it was outrageous that they had captured him and Flame for such a strange reason.

Why does Flamel want me to understand humanity?

For the first time, Frillie doubted her master's words... were all human men so unreasonable?

I have absolutely no desire to know!

[Flame has doubts about your behavior]

[Frilian is puzzled by your behavior, generating an entry... generating a favorability entry.]

[Insertion successful, favorability +1]

【Frilian's Affection Level: 35 (Extremely Cold)】

【Flame's favorability rating: 61 (Indifferent)】

Oh?

I thought I'd fallen to zero. Elves and humans are definitely friendlier than demons... Speaking of which, that look is familiar. Is it the way Aura looked at me when she first saw me and then at the bugs?

I feel inexplicably nostalgic.

"No, no... it's all a misunderstanding. I also have my own difficulties." Fingel sighed, looking helpless. "I just had no other choice but to become like this."

I have a lot to say!

"Don't believe him, Flame, she's lying." Frilian glared at him angrily. This man was a complete liar. "You clearly want to sleep with Flame... you know, to have a baby, right?"

"He's definitely going to lie again! This man is only thinking about himself!"

She lacked knowledge about physiology, only knowing that having sex would result in a baby, which was something Flame had told her. Elves were creatures with almost no concept of reproduction, and no one taught them such things.

...Forehead

This really doesn't exist.

Fingel was speechless. "I never said I wanted children. I'm so young, why would I want children?"

Moreover, you are the most beautiful human girl I have ever seen. My father is a chief, and this child is a gift I left for you.

It will probably only turn out like this.

Surprisingly, Flame immediately replied, "...I agree."

As long as...Frilian is released.

It was all her fault. She shouldn't have pushed her disciple, such a talented and innocent child, into this fire pit... If only I...

Her eyes were somewhat dim.

Although Flame didn't really care about such things and was determined to strive for the dream of 'every human being able to learn magic,' she was still a little disappointed.

I seem to have become a shameless woman.

Here, women are also considered chaste, and besides, Flame has a very good upbringing, so she is feeling very complicated right now.

"Why? Don't agree to him... marrying this pervert and having a baby with him."

Frilian turned to look at her master, only to see Flame simply shaking her head.

"You've really misunderstood me... Wait, what did you just say?"
