The random characters in the dating sim world are a bit bad.

Lyon gripped that fair, somewhat thin hand tightly, his gaze carrying a hint of a smile.

"Luckily I reacted quickly, otherwise it would have been bad if you had hit me."

"Hmph! What's wrong with getting hit? You should know that many boys would love to be slapped by me!" Herterudi looked coldly at Lyon, her face contorted with pain from the struggle.

"I can let go. But you have to promise not to hit me again. Otherwise, I'll walk away without hesitation."

Even after Helterutti discovered what his weapon was, Leon remained gentle. After all, he was the one who had made a mistake earlier.

"Of course there's no problem."

A smile appeared on Helteruti's cold, jade-like face, making her appear very kind and completely harmless.

Seeing this, Leon tentatively relaxed a little, and only after seeing that Helterutti did not react did he relax a little, but the wariness in his eyes did not disappear.

This lewd guy is actually quite careful! But...

"Bartofalt, let's hurry up and go. I think you wouldn't want Angelica and the others to see me walking with you, would you?"

After several days of in-depth investigation, Herterudie discovered Leon's weakness, but she did not utter any threats against him.

Not only because she was a girl herself, but also because she knew that doing so would only provoke Leon's ruthless retaliation.

Simply put, Leon is the kind of guy who responds better to gentle persuasion than force!

"I understand. But don't even think about hitting me again. If you hit me any further, I'm not sure if your clothes can hold up."

When his gaze fell upon the delicate hand that was trying to conceal the pink hue that was about to spill out, a teasing look appeared on Leon's face.

"Serves you right for trying to ambush me."

"Hmph! I'm not as shameless as you, Bartofalt. By the way, you just went to the palace to discuss the guard members with the Queen, right? Your two friends will definitely have been taken in with you."

The incredibly intelligent Helterudie easily figured out what Leon was going to do next, so they chatted on the way to the dormitory.

After all, as the princess of the Kingdom of Van Os, the only person she could chat with without any reservations at the academy was Leon, even though Leon was a guy she disliked very much.

"Don't you know that smart girls aren't really popular with guys? But I doubt anyone would like someone like you anyway." Leon didn't answer Helterutti's question, only muttered something under his breath.

"Bartofalt! You're a guy I really hate!"

“But I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, just ask any student on the street.” Lyon looked at the defiant Helterutti with a triumphant smile.

"Tch! I'm not falling for your tricks. The boys in the kingdom really hate girls. Wouldn't it be asking for trouble if I went to ask? Besides, there are only a dozen or so hypocritical guys in the academy who know my identity, and of course, you, you scoundrel, are one of them."

Herteruti smiled slightly, then a dangerous glint flashed across her face.

Sensing the danger, Leon immediately decided to abandon the so-called escort and escape as soon as possible.

He shifted his feet slightly, his hands poised as he took a step forward, ready to run away.

"Anjie... mmm..."

Helterudie was about to set up Angelica when she saw her appear in the distance, but before she could even open her mouth, Leon covered her mouth with his hand and held her firmly in his arms.

"Now I finally understand why you have no friends. I kindly offered to take you back to your dorm, but you tried to frame me." Leon whispered his accusation in Helterutti's ear, completely unaware of how alluring his embrace with Helterutti was.

This is...this is...this is...

Warm breaths burned past her ears, and Helterudie's beautiful black eyes stared wide-eyed ahead, seemingly lifeless.

This was the first time she had been in such close contact with a boy, and the boy was the one she hated the most.

That's...that's so unfair!

An unnamed anger and resentment welled up in her heart, and Helterudie immediately grabbed the rough hand blocking her with both hands, and with a swift movement of her jaws, bit down hard on Leon's hand.

"Sigh~"

The girl's aggrieved bite immediately broke through the skin's defenses, and blood flowed uncontrollably from the corner of her mouth.

Upon seeing this, Leon immediately released Helterudie without any hesitation. However, the hand that had been bitten was not freed; instead, a little salt water dripped onto it.

"Really. I never thought that Princess Vanos, who threatened to destroy the kingdom just a few months ago, would cry over such a trivial matter."

Angelica, who was not far away, noticed Leon and immediately walked over without hesitation, her eyes filled with an unnamed rage.

Faced with an inescapable calamity, Leon simply accepted it, letting Herterudie vent her grievances on his hands.

[I guess I'm just too kind. But why couldn't this girl be a little gentler?]

"Aren't you... angry?"

Feeling the bitter taste of blood constantly seeping into her mouth, and with no curses coming, Herterudie released her mouth and looked at Lyon with some confusion.

"Why would I be angry? It's just that you bit me! Besides, you're quite good-looking, it's just that your chest is a bit... Ouch! Ouch! Let go of me, big brother!"

Before the teasing words could be finished, the still-unhealed wound was bitten again by the inlaid tiger teeth, and Angelica's figure appeared in front of the two of them.

After her gaze fell upon the exposed pink fabric, Angelica clearly understood the general outline of what had happened.

[That Leon guy doesn't know how to hold back; he's ruined someone's clothes.]

"Hertelle, don't be sad. I'll teach Leon a lesson. Now, take his hand away. Otherwise, if you drink Leon's blood, your body might..."

vomit~

Angelica's gentle voice came, and Helterudi immediately released her and looked at her and Leon with a somewhat angry gaze, trying to spit out the blood she had swallowed earlier.

[As expected of my lover, we both love to tease each other. Don't think I don't know this blood will be digested, it's just...]

A flicker of jealousy crossed her face as she watched Angelica cast a healing spell after taking Leon's hand in hers.

Why wasn't Bartofarth born in our duchy? The duchy's policies are clearly better, and the women are better off too.

"I'm sorry, Leon. Because I only recently learned healing magic, I can't remove the scars."

Despite his gentle words, Leon sensed a murderous intent and could only reach out to hug Angelica.

"Hmph! This matter won't end so easily, just you wait and see."

Angelica nudged Leon slightly with her cheek and said somewhat angrily, though the jealousy in her eyes had largely disappeared.

Seeing this, Lyon recounted the whole story. Angelica couldn't help but look at Helterutti, but after touching the slight protrusion, she felt relieved.

Because Lyon likes big things!

"Alright, I'll take Helterutti to her dorm next."

Angelica pinched Leon, then put her arm around Helterutti, helping her, whose face was still wet with tears, back to her dormitory.

Looking at the two walking together now, Leon was reminded of that afternoon, that...

“Master, Angela and Helterudi are also a very good match. The data shows…”

"Lucasión, I didn't ask you. Can you please not say it? Really."

Luciano, suspended in mid-air, couldn't help but smile as he watched Lyon's furious expression.

Master is really interesting.

"Alright, let's talk about what this princess of the Duchy of Vanos has been up to lately. I always feel that my becoming the captain of the guard is somehow related to her. Although I would have become the captain of the guard even without her, after all, I am the youngest, most honest, and most powerful knight in the kingdom."

Leon, who is very self-aware of his own abilities, will not hold a grudge against Helterutti because of this, after all, he may still need this overly clever girl in the future.

“Master, it seems that Helteruti is being offered to the second prince by the kingdom.”

"A political marriage? No wonder that guy suddenly got angry and bit me. But it has nothing to do with us. It's just..."

[No matter what, I still feel really annoyed by what's happening right now!]

"Is Master preparing to take action?" Lucius felt a surge of pleasure at the fleeting pity in Leon's eyes.

“No! That Helterudi was planning to kill me, Master, so I won’t do it. Besides, didn’t you feel the dislike that guy has for me, Lucius?” Leon looked at Lucius with disdain.

"By the way, Luciano, you've been teasing me a lot lately."

"Master, please forgive my bluntness. Even though everything was calculated, you've been waiting patiently, saying you needed a legitimate reason to launch your attack. I think you should accept these teasing remarks. After all..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Fine, I'll accept it, okay? I'm just trying to raise their awareness, aren't I? After all, humans are complex."

Faced with Lucaccion, who knew him inside and out, Lyon quickly surrendered and turned to get down to business.

"Do we have a chance to take that saint's equipment? That kind of terrifying thing wouldn't be safe on someone as clumsy as Marielle."

At that moment, Leon felt as if he were a saint, saving people from dire straits.

"Master, materials for the experimental research are essential. I have already made an exact replica. The experiment will begin at the base tonight!" Lucius said in a slightly arrogant tone.

"Lucaccio, you are absolutely amazing! Master, I love you to death!"

Leon openly expressed his feelings for Lucaccion, who immediately retorted, "Master is such a jerk," before hiding his round figure.

The study of the soul is of utmost urgency, as is the technology for the cradle of life. The master's body needs to be adequately protected!

Seeing that Lucaccion had disappeared into the shadows, Lyon didn't think twice and started looking for Daniel and Raymond.

Inside the restaurant.

Lyon and Daniel sat facing each other, with a table laden with fragrant food.

While Lyon was enjoying his meal, Daniel and Raymond were both frowning, staring in disbelief at the documents Lyon had handed them.

The document contains appointment letters for two people to serve as captains of the second and third squads of the Saintess Guard, as well as a list of members who are still two or three spots short.

"Lyon, are you really going to entrust such an important matter to us?"

Faced with something so readily available, a fleeting expression crossed Daniel's face.

Leon, who is usually quite stingy, was being so extravagant that it made the two of them suspicious no matter what.

"Don't worry, you'll still have to do your part. After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Since I've chosen you as the captains of the remaining two teams, there must be tasks and requirements for you."

Lyon took a sip of tea and then let out a satisfied burp.

"Cut~!"

Upon hearing this, Daniel and Raymond both gave the unchanged Leon a look of disdain before inquiring about the important matter at hand.

"Lyon, just say it. Whatever your request, as long as it's not about money, it's all fine!" Daniel said heartily before picking up a pig's trotter and gnawing on it.

"Didn't he just complete a bounty? Why does he seem so short of money now?" Leon asked Raymond in a low voice.

"Isn't he with that girl again? They've been discussing marriage these past few days, so they're making preparations."

Upon hearing this, Lyon looked at Daniel in disbelief.

"You're something else! If you don't have enough money, just let me know."

"definitely."

"Alright, then I'll get down to business. I hope..."

Volume 2 School Life: Chapter 91 The First Time I Met Someone Asking to Be Beaten Up

Inside the training grounds designated by the royal palace.

Lyon looked up at the sky, noticing that not all the people had arrived by the fifteen-minute deadline.

The midday sun was extremely glaring, so Lyon unsurprisingly chose to hide in the shade.

As for Julius and the others, they were standing under the guidance of Daniel and Raymond, in the posture of the kingdom's knights on guard duty, which was actually just that their bodies were slightly leaning forward.

"Greg, how many people in your team are still missing?"

Looking at the time on his hand, it was already 2 PM, the time when training was supposed to start. Lyon walked out from the shade and took off his sunglasses amidst the mostly disgruntled stares of the crowd.

"report!"

"Speak louder, did you fucking not eat?"

"Report! Because we were in a hurry, we didn't eat! Including Prince Julius... Julius and the other three! There are still three people who haven't arrived yet."

Upon hearing Greg's honest statement, Lyon's expression froze, while Daniel and Raymond suppressed their laughter.

“Greg, you’re a real talent! Now, you five go and close the training ground door. The rest of you, disperse. Training will begin in forty minutes. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.”

"Announcement!" a guy with purple eyes shouted indistinctly.

"Say!"

"Reporting to the captain, I have no problem."

"You're something else, kid. But you'll still get your punishment. Remember to suck everyone's socks tonight."

Lyon smiled as he watched yet another talented individual emerge, then told the quieter guys to rest.
