How come I am still being controlled by them even though I have changed my ways?

"that is it?"

Hmm! It's just... like this...

The words that should have been answered without hesitation were stuck in my throat for a moment.

Jill tried to reason with himself: the rain was too heavy and he choked.

But...what is the truth? Is it Yu, or is it just something he can't say?

Elder Melm didn't give him time to hesitate.

She broke free from his embrace, stepped on the wet rain, and looked up at the sky covered by dark clouds, lightning and thunder.

He shook his head, as if he was helpless about something.

And the next moment, the sky, which had been stormy, began to clear up at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if by magic - the raindrops and dark clouds dissipated, and the bright sunshine once again filled the garden inside and outside.

If it weren't for the puddles on the ground and the miserable looks of the people getting soaked, who would have thought that Elder Melm had just performed magic to control the weather?

Elder Melm glanced coldly at the three elves in front of him.

"Go and clean you up."

This sentence is just like a mother saying "Come and have dinner" after being angry, which represents "compromise".

Jill didn't want to make the situation worse, so she quickly gave Seraphim an urging look: "What are you still waiting for? Are you going to wait until Elder Melm changes his mind before you're satisfied?"

This made the three elves leave in a hurry.

Everything seemed to have settled. Watching them leave, Jill could finally breathe a sigh of relief. A near miss? Of course not!

If he didn't have to maintain the image of a "tough guy" in front of the elf elder, he really wanted to sit on the ground and catch his breath.

Unfortunately, don’t even think about it.

Elder Melm had turned around and waved at him.

The wet long hair stuck to her clothes, and after the white cloth was wet, Jill could even vaguely see the flesh-colored and pink area on the elf loli's chest.

But Elder Melm's call forced him to just watch, and he silently told himself "Don't think too much".

"Send me a change of clothes."

Although he said "give it away", Elder Melm made an action as if asking him to hold it.

Facing Shangjier's doubts, he added coldly, "You don't think the magic just now was easy to perform, do you?"

How dare I, Jill thought.

Being able to control the weather doesn't that mean Elder Melm can also create some natural disasters?

Just thinking about it sent chills down his spine.

However, what Elder Melm really wanted to tell him was this.

"Now I really can't see anything for a while, so..."

"hug me."

178. Elder, you smell so good??

Even though the palace of the high elves in the royal capital is not "big", it has all the facilities for living and living - the elf saint Seraphim lives here.

Therefore, the elves here are more than capable of dealing with some "emergencies".

After Elder Melm's anger subsided and everything around him, including the gloomy sky, quickly cleared up, the high elves in the palace began to hurriedly clean up the accumulated water on the ground.

There was no way around it: after all, that torrential downpour was like pouring water onto the ground. One downpour equaled several days' worth of precipitation. Even if Wangdu had a good sewer system, it couldn't handle it now, and water was bubbling out.

A group of drowned rats were cleaning the ground—it was probably a similar scene inside and outside the royal capital.

But Jill was too busy to find the relevant personnel to explain the cause of the thunderstorm.

After all, at this moment, he still had to hold Elder Melm in his arms and deal with their respective miserable appearances - the power of nature was an indiscriminate attack, and it was not just Seraphim and the others who became drowned rats.

They hurriedly left the garden. The vines grown by Elder Melm's magic at the fence at the entrance were still standing in the air. Many elves watched Gil cautiously as he carried Elder Melm away, wanting to say something but not daring to open their mouths.

After all, Elder Melm is being held by a "stinky man" at this moment, but it doesn't look like he is being "forced" at all. Who would dare to open his mouth and offend this bad luck?

The eyes of the beautiful elf girls naturally fell on Gil, staring at him so hard that his whole body was covered with hair. He didn't dare to stay and could only hurriedly explain, "Elder Melm will take care of it later." Then he took Elder Melm away in two steps.

I was afraid of saying something wrong and causing strange misunderstandings.

What's more...it made Elder Melm change his mind.

Fortunately, Elder Melm did not seem to be lying at this moment. The magic that could even control the weather had indeed brought her a considerable burden, so that the elf in Jill's arms did not make any "visible" movements at this moment.

Even the bodies that were smaller than those of the loli dean and the others were naturally soaked through, and trembled slightly from time to time.

Their damp clothes made it even more apparent to Jill that the elf's warmth was within her. It was hard to believe that this body, so easily pushed down, had just brought such a pressing feeling that held them both in place.

The brief contemplation was soon noticed by Elder Melm.

Elder Melm, who had closed his glasses because he couldn't see for the time being, no longer had the aggressive tone in his voice.

It's more like helplessness.

"what happened?"

This left Jill with no choice but to come up with an excuse immediately.

"Um... Elder Melm, I don't seem to know where the private bathroom is."

It couldn't be considered a lie. After all, he definitely couldn't bring Elder Melm to meet Seraphim and the others right now - if they were to be naked, the scene would be so awkward, so awkward that Jill was scratching her toes just thinking about it.

"...Where are you now?"

Elder Melm seemed to agree.

"Just out of the garden, turn left."

"Keep going. My place is deep inside. There's a bathroom in the room."

Jill didn't dare to delay and took a step forward.

The dry rain made the elf's long hair stick together, looking disheveled and pitiful, but also arousing the evil thoughts in people's hearts.

As if sensing his strange thoughts, even though Elder Melm couldn't see Jill's gaze at all at the moment, he still showed a playful smile.

"I thought you did all that just now because you liked them. But now it seems that you are just simply a playboy?"

"What, what's the matter?"

Gil had to admit: when Elder Melm said this just now, he did feel a little guilty.

"It's just a reasonable deal with you."

He quickly steady the elf in his arms, not wanting Elder Melm to notice something.

"After all, the expression you showed when you looked at Dean Roy and Seraphim's achievements in the capital couldn't be deceiving. If you had no other choice, I don't think you would have taken them away by force."

"Since you can't stay here forever, and the other high elves can't be fair and impartial under the identities of those two, then... as an 'involved' outsider, I might be able to volunteer to solve your problem."

"I have a pact with them both. Even if it's for my own 'reformation', I will definitely be fair and just."

In response to Jill, Elder Melm remained silent for a long time.

The light words that followed seemed to agree with Jill's words, but... they contained deeper meanings.

"You might be able to convince me, but... do you really want to take on this responsibility?"

"The previous academy festival, and Seraphim's stupid and foolish idea this time... You're no match for these two Pokémon you saw. As their former teacher, I know their minds better than anyone else."

"Do you think you can suppress them just by being an 'Overseer'? They're full of tricks to deceive you. But don't think I'm heartless. Taking them away... was the best option."

maybe.

Jill thought.

But sometimes "choice" does not necessarily mean the best solution, but you have to follow the option that you want most in your heart.

"Don't worry, Elder Melm. I'm in the process of reforming myself. How could I be easily tempted?"

"If that happens, the people from the royal family will never let me go."

This time, Elder Melm did not insist on anything.

"Then do as you wish."

"I will announce this decision later, but before that, please let me sort myself out."

That's natural.

Jill nodded rapidly.

You can already see the small hut that looks like a paradise on earth at the end of the green plants on both sides of the palace, which are even dripping with water due to the heavy rain.

There is no need to think about it, it must be Elder Melm's residence here.

However, just as Gil was holding Elder Melm and pushing open the unlocked door, walking into the house, intending to put Elder Melm on a chair and leave - he still had to ask the elves in the palace if there was a separate room.

After all, he himself was soaked now. After "settling" Elder Melm, it was Jill's turn.

But before he could leave, Elder Melm's question, which was a bit doubtful and clear, came from behind him.

"Jill, what are you doing?"

"Wha, what?"

"I want to take off my clothes and take a bath first."

"Oh, oh! Then I'll leave right away!"

Right? Nothing wrong with that?

Jill thought.

But immediately, Elder Melm suddenly said: "What do you mean you leave immediately?"

"I haven't recovered my magical power yet to notice my surroundings, so of course you continue to help me."

179. The drum is big???

what?

It took Jill a while to understand what Elder Melm was saying.

But no matter from which angle, Elder Melm's words just now only have one meaning.

Just like the words that the elf in front of him was reminding him by feeling and looking at him.

"Could you help me take off my clothes, Jill? Even I would get sick from a cold."

"Also, you can use my bathroom if you don't mind. I don't want you to suffer because of me."

The problem is not about being sick or having a cold!

However, how could Jill just run away now? Making up some random excuse and running away would clearly tell Elder Melm that he had bad intentions.

And he has the desire but not the courage.

It's so cowardly.

The only way was to do as he was told - even though Jill could already imagine what a tremendous test the following scenes would be for him.

Looking at Elder Melm's hands that were stretched out towards him, Jill could only... grit his teeth, stomp his feet, and begin to reach out to pull Elder Melm's skirt.

I kept praying in my heart: I hope the other elves in this palace don’t see this scene.

Otherwise, it’s not a question of “whether the explanation is clear or not”!

When his fingers touched the elf's skin, before Jill could react, Elder Melm's body shrank back as if he was not used to it.

Now Jill didn't even dare to look forward.

"Elder Melm, it's better to forget it..."
