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

There was no other way. At this moment, Xilin could only settle for the second best: after Jill came back, she would sneak into the attic at night like she did the day before and "interrogate" Jill and Ruby about what they had done today!

Thinking of this, Xilin was about to start writing, and she started doing her homework a little absent-mindedly.

But the next moment, accompanied by a knock on the door outside the dormitory, two unexpected figures interrupted Xilin's thoughts.

It's Miss Seraphim and Miss Kallen!

Of course, Xilin welcomes the appearance of Miss Karen, but... why did this woman Seraphim come to cause trouble?

Everyone had the same class schedule, and Xilin immediately realized: This woman Seraphim... has bad intentions.

But she still had to pretend what she had to - after Luvilia brought the two elves, Silin immediately put on an expression of "warm welcome".

"Welcome~ Miss Kallen, Seraphim! Luvilia, go make some tea~"

As expected, the bad woman Seraphim in front of her immediately gave her a smile that was obviously fake.

"Good morning, little princess~ Senior Kallen and I came to hang out with you and have a study session to finish our school holiday homework~"

Hey?

Study session? That's a pretty good excuse, Seraphim?

Xilin sneered in her heart: It's a pity that you came at the wrong time today~

Sure enough, after a few forced greetings, Seraphim's eyes began to search around!

"Huh? Gil isn't here?"

It’s not that she “gave herself up”, but after Seraphi mentioned Jill, she noticed Miss Karen’s equally concerned look, and Silin immediately thought of a good idea!

He immediately pretended to be surprised and said, "Huh? Seraphim, don't you know?"

Then, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across Seraphim's eyes, as if she was about to say it bluntly, "If you want to say it, just say it quickly. You're a thousand-year-old fox, why are you pretending to be innocent?" At the same time...

Added: "Gil has been accompanying a demi-human recently~"

"Demi-humans?"

Miss Kallen, who had just put down her handbag and sat down, had a puzzled look on her face, while Seraphim had a thoughtful look on her face.

After all: Seraphim was also in the classroom on the day the white-haired vixen Guolin found Jill!

"Could it be that day..."

"No, Seraphim~"

Xilin's idea was simple: since she and Luvilia couldn't stop Ruby from moving in, they couldn't stop these two vixens from harassing Jill...

Then...wouldn't it be better to find a few more helpers with the same goal? As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and Seraphim is undoubtedly the best person to help her.

Xilin continued, "The demihuman that day was merely a servant of another demihuman. He came looking for Jill because Jill was being harassed by another... smaller demihuman."

There are some words that Seraphim really cannot bear to hear!

For example, the three words "entangled" - in just a moment, Seraphi's eyes became serious.

He turned and asked Miss Karen beside him.

"Senior Kallen, did Dean Roy say that the demihumans would be coming to the capital soon?"

The latter just shook his head, but this did not prevent Xilin from continuing to explain.

"It's a fox-eared demihuman named Ruby. She seems to have a high status among the demihumans. She even has servants."

"She's obviously acquainted with Jill. This time, she took advantage of the fact that the demihuman tribe had a new leader and secretly came to meet Jill~"

"They've already settled in my dorm. Jill took Ruby to the capital to do some shopping this morning, so they're not here."

Now Seraphim couldn't bear it anymore!

Just blurt it out!

"So you just watched him being taken away?"

Okay, you finally stop acting, you bad elf?

Xilin spread her hands and said, "By the time I noticed something and woke up, Jill had already been dragged away."

She wouldn't say anything more, because what she was waiting for was for Seraphim to speak up and say something she had actually been expecting for a long time.

"This kind of thing... Tsk..."

The next moment, Seraphim stood up!

I’m too lazy to even pick up the handbag I just put down!

"Karen-senpai, let's go find him!"

208. Do you understand the principle of first come first served?

Xilin was secretly delighted: This was what she had been waiting for from Seraphim, the scheming elf girl!

Humph, you can't act anymore, right? You can't pretend anymore, right?

Despite this thought, Xilin felt she had no right to be sarcastic towards Seraphim. After all... she also wanted to know what the golden-haired vixen had dragged Jill to do!

Secretly luring Seraphim into the trap didn't mean she was going to sit back and wait for death. Quite the opposite—Xilin was only doing it to "bring in some accomplices."

Seeing that Seraphi was about to drag Senior Kallen away and was pretending to find some excuse, Xilin became a little impatient.

"Wait, Seraphim-san, are you planning to just go looking for it like this?"

It wasn't that she was trying to be sarcastic, but she really was looking at someone as if they were idiots. "Jill and Ruby went shopping in the civilian area of the capital, didn't they? Today's a holiday! Finding them in this sea of people is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

This made Seraphim, who was a little anxious for a moment, stop with a hint of reluctance.

After all, it didn't look like the elf was asking for help at all.

But now, due to the limited circumstances, the two girls were forced to do so, and they knew each other's thoughts very well.

"Ah... little princess, what do you mean?"

Xilin also stood up immediately and gave Seraphim a "business smile".

"There's strength in numbers. Why don't you let Luvilia and I join in?"

During the holidays, the written assignments for the academy can be done anytime, but why would the little vixen drag Jill away for the entire day?

Xilin will never allow such a thing!

They set off as soon as they said they would, and the four of them quickly set off after putting on some minimal disguise. Their destination was naturally the civilian market in the royal capital. When it came to purchasing daily necessities, Silin felt that Jill could only take Ruby, who looked very conspicuous, there.

It was really inconvenient for the four of them to act together - Silin had heard a little about the civilization of demi-humans, and also understood some of the characteristics of "fox-eared demi-humans" like Ruby.

Who made the previous demihuman leader a fox-eared demihuman?

Their five senses were sharper than those of ordinary people. Xilin thought: If they acted together, they would be too conspicuous and be discovered by that little vixen Ruby...

That little vixen might take Jill and run even further away to avoid them.

Therefore, when going out, Xilin suggested that they form groups of two and travel together so that they would not be left alone and unable to meet up with their "teammates" in time, and it would not be too inefficient.

It was a tacit understanding that Sirin chose to go with Seraphim this time, while the duo of Luvilia and senior Kallen, who "might really be able to find Jill", teamed up to conduct a more efficient search.

As for her and Seraphim?

Rather than looking for someone, Xilin actually wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to communicate with the Elf Saint beside her about some more "important" content about demi-humans.

Leaving the dormitory, I slowly walked towards the more lively but slightly "dirtier and messier" civilian area in the royal capital - the civilian area was naturally crowded on holidays.

However, what is considered a "normal situation" by ordinary people is a "sea of people" scene to Xilin and Seraphim, who spend most of their time in the academy and the palace.

The entrance to the market was even crowded with "temporary vendors" who had to set up stalls on the street because they "had no storefronts". As the little princess of the kingdom, Xilin could tell at a glance that these "three-no" vendors didn't even have a license, and the city defense team would definitely catch them all.

But there didn't seem to be any "city defense team" around, and Xilin could only think that the managers of the civilian area condoned such a situation.

Was it because it was almost noon, almost "lunch time"? Xilin noticed that the surroundings were even more "dirty and messy" than the last time she and Jill went shopping here. There were even some rotten vegetable leaves at their feet, left by someone unknown.

Let alone "finding someone", just seeing this scene made Xilin back out in her heart - even though she and Seraphim were "disguised" and looked less conspicuous, she still felt that the two of them looked out of place here.

and……

"Hey... these are the new boots I bought not long ago."

Xilin glanced at the messy stone road ahead, which seemed to be covered with bird droppings and chicken droppings - how could she have avoided it all the time?

By the way, she complained in her heart: If she wasn't looking for Jill and catching the vixen, she wouldn't have come to the market in the civilian area on such a holiday.

Turning around, I saw Seraphim beside me had the same expression.

Wear a hat and put your blonde hair up.

The skirt was replaced with trousers, and the small leather shoes were temporarily replaced with the boots that Xilin lent to Seraphim.

Pair it with a windbreaker - as long as the brim of the hat is slightly lowered, no one will notice Seraphim's elf identity.

At this moment, disgust was also written on the face of the Elf Saint, but: Is it really because finding Jill's whereabouts is more important?

Then, Seraphi glanced at Sirin and took the initiative to take a step forward - even if the responsibility of the search mainly fell on Kallen and Luvilia, Sirin couldn't really take a leisurely stroll.

Then there's no point in coming here.

"I heard from Dean Luo Yi that the 'demihumans' have a new leader and will be making an appearance in the capital. Most likely, they'll be showing off their strength as usual and taking some of the treasures given to them by the capital."

"After all, this is the only way the Alliance can temporarily stabilize the demihuman population."

"But other than that, Dean Roy has been staying in the academy the entire time, so she and Karen don't know any more details."

After a pause, the elf girl beside Xilin frowned slightly and said, "Xilin, do you know the origins of this demihuman named Ruby?"

"Jill seems to know her? Doesn't that mean he was once..."

"I don't know!"

Xilin just felt that she was "gritting her teeth" when she said this!

"But Chairman Caiwei said: Ruby is a demihuman with a relatively high status in the demihuman community. Tsk... this is consistent with the behavior of that yellow-haired Gil."

To put it bluntly: Jill doesn't even look at any cute or pretty girl who doesn't have a certain status!

It’s okay if you don’t mention it, but I get angry when I mention Xilin!

"Anyway, you'll know it when you find Ruby: that demihuman has a servant... who's also a vixen."

After all, she knew the true nature of the Elf Saint Seraphim very well, so Xilin did not hide anything and said it directly.

However, Seraphim beside her began to talk to herself in confusion after hearing her angry words with a hint of complaint.

"Huh? But I heard that demihumans are always solitary, and rarely come with servants."
