In the small room, Lilith showed a hint of worry on her face.
This matter was difficult for her to explain.
When she and Fratiss had a conflict, she was still in a state of unawakened memory.
The lack of that fragment of memory caused a significant communication gap between them.
Lilith still remembered when she first brought Fratiss to the Fantasy Association, there was a period when she was almost happy every day.
The time spent teaching Fratiss always flew by.
That silly foodie girl always liked to stick by her side.
Why did it develop to the current trend?
She sighed heavily.
Chloe, noticing her somewhat sad expression, was just about to speak when Lilith raised her head:
"Sorry, I'd like to be alone for a while."
"Okay."
He left the small room first, giving Lilith some space to think.
As soon as he opened the door, he was startled by the two people in front of him.
Miseria had a tense expression, perhaps due to the excitement and shame from eavesdropping, her cheeks were a little red.
Seeing Chloe look at her, she immediately assumed a defensive posture:
"Wh-what, do you want to fight?"
Chloe was amused by the Vice President's random words:
"Vice President, you're quite good at acting innocent; clearly, you're the one eavesdropping, and you can say it so shamelessly."
"I- I just happened to follow out, alright, you come over here, you rascal."
Chloe only then realized that Miseria had quietly activated the Silence Barrier at some point.
Wow, she really was well-prepared.
"What, was the issue something Lilith shouldn't know about?"
"It would be so embarrassing if she found out!"
"And it's not embarrassing if I know?" Chloe looked at Fratiss and asked, "So Fratiss, although I don't know what's going on between you two, are you okay?"
Miseria tried to use her eyes to stop Chloe from speaking.
Chloe spread his hands.
Some things are better let out.
"I said it."
Fratiss lowered her head, a gloomy aura around her.
"I made senior apologize to me, boohoo~"
When she looked up again, she seemed on the verge of having small tears fall.
Chloe rubbed her head and said:
"I didn't expect you to look so docile but be so determined."
"Actually, I'm really nervous." Fratiss said cautiously, "Senior, Senior brother, I will try hard to do my part well."
Miseria smiled reassuringly and held her hand, saying:
"Then let's work hard together, and be brave to express your thoughts, you did well."
"This time I will not let everyone down."
Chloe looked at the scene in front of him, and also smiled, then Miseria turned to stare at him:
"You too, don't slack off."
"Senior brother, let's work hard together!"
"Uh, okay."
Seeing the two finally relax, Chloe smiled and said:
"Then you go handle your matters first, I have something to discuss with Lilith."
Recalling Lilith's previously dejected expression, he couldn't set his mind at ease.
"Really, it's worrisome to see senior like this."
He gently knocked on the door.
"Senior, may I come in?"
"Mm, okay."
Pushing the door open, Chloe found Lilith still maintaining her previous posture.
"..." Chloe walked up to sit down and said, "You came early today, haven't eaten yet?"
"Mm, but I'm fine."
"Skipping meals will make me worry."
"Why don't you ask?"
Lilith bumped him a little unhappily.
"Ask what?"
"Why do we have such a big misunderstanding?"
Chloe smiled and said, "To be honest, I'm also curious.
Your differences lie in her instinct not allowing anything about you to be desecrated.
Your conflict might have been due to a deviation in understanding this issue.
And this is something that ultimately requires you and Fratiss to handle.
I have no right to decide for the two of you, right?"
"True." Lilith turned her head and said, "Would you hate me because I'm a bad woman?"
She stood up, not daring to face Chloe.
"Probably, you would hate me…"
"Depends on whether it crosses the line." Chloe held her hands and said, "But, I still hope my partner doesn't turn into a villain."
Lilith remained silent.
Chloe gently said, "Besides, neither of you had bad intentions, right?"
"What… do you think I should do?"
Chloe recalled Fratiss's face nearly crying, softly said:
"Senior, honestly I don't know what happened between you two.
In fact, I haven't remembered most people's names in the Fantasy Association.
Even now, I wouldn't dare say I understand you well, so, senior, don't worry about my thoughts, just consider one thing."
"..."
"What choice would make you not regret, make you smile again."
"Humph, acting innocent."
"It's not acting innocent, it's my sincerity." Chloe chuckled and said, "Interactions between people are always accompanied by troubles, sometimes unpleasant, but I still hope you can take it easy, senior."
"Humph, saying you'll follow my will, yet giving so many opinions, claiming you know nothing…"
Chloe pressed her hand in his palm, smiling and said:
"Because your essence is intertwined with mine, so at least I know… you gave that innocent little sister your own strength, right?"
Lilith remained silent for a long time, then said softly:
"At that time, I didn't know she was your sister. I saw her lost memories due to severe injuries, so I took her and raised her."
"Because you had a fight with Annie?"
"Yes."
"So I'm very happy."
"Hmm?"
"Thank you... for giving her a place to stay when I couldn't protect that little fool."
After he gradually recovered his memories, he did investigate the relevant situation.
But Stuart's death made him not care much for this era.
And Harut's death and Kasha's disappearance were things with no leads.
Over time, he had lost hope.
He had never thought that it would be Lilith who saved his silly sister in the end.
"Want a hug."
The Beauty President opened her arms, making a gesture to hug.
Chloe was momentarily dazed by her cute action, then hugged her, saying:
"Oh Beauty President, don't be sad anymore."
"I'm not sad, it's just that..." Lilith's voice lowered, "I don't want that child to get into trouble again."
"Hmm?"
"When I left that era, the World Group attacked the Blood Race. She became a target because she was tainted with my power."
Chloe's gaze became deepened.
He really wasn't too aware of this matter.
"Hmph, it's all your fault."
"Eh?"
"I'll consider your words seriously, but if it might make her a target again, I won't agree."
"Hmm." Chloe thought for a moment, then said, "By the way, if you really have doubts, you should ask Mr. Charles."
"Hmm?"
"Isn't a father always worthy of trust?"
"... He's really surprised he's the King of Redemption."
Hearing this, Chloe couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Kai's wicked sense of humor hadn't changed even after all these years.
"It's him, though I'm not quite sure about his current state, if you really have doubts, ask him, he'll come himself."
"Okay."
"Then, let's ensure our little team's Fantasy Show goes smoothly next."
After all, they planned to head straight to the Maze with the enhanced abilities from Fantasy Night to gather the resources needed for a higher Sequence ascension.
"Chloe."
"Hmm?"
"... Kiss me."
"Eh? So sudden?"
"Yes, I do it when I think of it, can't I?" Lilith extended a hand to limit Chloe's movement, "How many times have we kissed, why are you still shy?"
"This is the office, there might be people outside."
"Do you think they are still there?"
"..."
Standing, Lilith bent over and kissed Chloe's lips.
Chloe's actions instantly became unruly.
His hands instinctively moved along the Beauty President's hip-hugging outfit upward.
Lilith giggled and said:
"Where are your hands going?"
Chloe coughed heavily and said:
"Sorry, it just got out of control by itself."
"You really are getting more and more shameless."
But Lilith did not oppose his actions, instead, she actively cooperated.
A strange sound came from the room.
The entwined two began to lose some of their rationality.
"I still have something to do later, it's not very convenient."
"If there's something to do, then there's no helping it, let's put this matter on hold for now..."
"We can try another way."
Lilith sat on his lap with a playful smile, her soft black stockings rubbing gently.
"... Senior, you really want to drive me crazy."
Lilith only felt her heartbeat start to accelerate.
The Legend-level power of Sequence Five gave her strong control over her body, but now she was using it for that kind of thing.
But...
[Really love you]
... Omitted 2000 words ...
"You really are... I almost couldn't handle it."
Chloe looked at Lilith licking her palm and said:
"Don't, don't swallow such things."
"It's fine, as long as it's yours, next time I'll catch it, today it can only be like this."
After cleaning her palm, Lilith said:
"Then I'll leave first, otherwise Miseria will blame me for being too slow."
"I'll clean up the scene."
Chloe looked at the remaining traces and first opened the window, then prepared to perform magic to clean up.
He suddenly glanced at Lilith's cheek, then walked over and said:
"Be sure to clean your hands and mouth."
"Okay."
With the door closing.
Lilith's face, which was originally calm, blushed again, and she leaned against the wall with a pained expression.
"Damn, I almost couldn't hold back, if it weren't for another appointment..."
Lilith hardened her heart.
Next time... I definitely won't let him go next time.
