As Milly talked, she began to feel thirsty.
She picked up a wine glass, ready to drink it all in one go.
Suddenly, she realized that drinking more would make things strange. However, there was only red wine on the table, and she couldn’t find any juice despite searching for a while.
With no other choice, she put the red wine back where it was.
Elena saw Milly’s predicament and called loudly for a server.
The servers were all dressed in bunny girl outfits, and every one of them was a fresh, younger-sister type.
Most of them were there against their will, kidnapped by the Scarlet Phantom through various means. A few, however, had already ‘flipped the switch’ and felt uncomfortable if they weren’t being held by a big sister.
“Bring me a glass of orange juice.”
“Of course, wait just a moment, big sister — “
The bunny girl winked. Elena smiled but said nothing.
“You’ll have your orange juice in a moment.”
“Doing favors for no reason — you’re either up to no good or planning a heist. Tell me, what’s your goal? Are you trying to use the juice to force me into some skinship?”
“It’s just a reward for you. Don’t overthink it.”
“A reward for me?”
‘What is there to reward me for?’
‘I wasn’t even praising you. Why are you acting so sentimental?’
‘Could she be a pervert?’
‘She wanted a three-person session back then, so is she happy because she heard her “companion” being praised?’
‘As for this companion, it’s obviously the one who bullies her!’
‘Should she be considered a member of the reverse harem?’
‘No, why would anyone do a three-person session with you?’
‘If she had needs, she’d go to Big Sister Felusa, not you!’
A moment later, the orange juice was served.
Milly tried to take it, but Elena snatched it away first.
“What are you doing? Are you going to let me drink it or not?”
‘Wait, are you going to mouth-feed me again?’
‘It won’t work. I’m immune to that now. Can’t you try some other tricks?’
Elena pulled out a pill and dropped it into the orange juice.
“Here, drink up! — “
Elena handed the juice over. The pill was still fizzing and bubbling inside.
Milly recoiled, her eyebrows knitting together.
“I’m not drinking that! What even is that thing!”
“This? After you drink it, you’ll feel refreshed. Your waist won’t ache, your back won’t hurt, your legs won’t cramp, and you’ll have strength in your step!”
“What kind of nonsense is that!”
‘It’s definitely nothing good. I won’t be fooled.’
“No, you have to drink it whether you want to or not!”
Elena was relentless, trapping Milly against the wall with a ‘kabedon.’ Milly was defenseless; she was on the inner side of the chair, with a wall to her left and Elena to her right.
Elena tilted Milly’s chin up.
Milly tried to keep her mouth shut, but Elena attacked. Milly had felt safe before because she was wearing steel armor.
However, Elena had learned.
She didn’t proactively touch any sensitive areas but took a gradual approach nearby. This feeling of wanting to be conquered yet not being satisfied made Milly exceptionally anxious.
Her gaze softened, looking delicate as if she were acting spoiled.
Elena took the opportunity to pour the juice into Milly’s mouth.
The sweet taste spread through her mouth, and Milly couldn’t help but swallow it down.
Only then did Milly realize her mistake.
“What did you give me!”
Milly coughed a few times, but the pill was already down. Whether it was her imagination or not, she felt her whole body heating up and her heartbeat accelerating.
Elena nudged Milly’s cheek with interest.
“How is it? Is your body reacting?”
“Ugh, you’re mean! — “
Milly didn’t want to react, but with the waves of sound around her, she began to feel lost in the atmosphere.
She clutched her chest, breathing heavily.
“Give me the antidote, quick!”
“Pfft, hahaha!”
“What are you laughing at? I said give me the antidote!”
“What I gave you was the antidote.”
“Eh? What?”
She was a bit confused, but Elena’s smile deepened. In truth, Elena hadn’t given her anything strange; it was just a sobering pill.
Milly, however, had mistaken it for an aphrodisiac.
She had even produced a slight physiological response.
‘Was it the medicine’s fault? No, it was Milly’s own fault. She was just a lewd child!’
“I didn’t expect you to be so depraved,” Elena said, gently stroking Milly’s long hair. “Your face is flushed and your body is hot, even though you just took a sobering pill?”
“How is that possible? That was definitely not a sobering pill!”
Milly tried to argue, but she realized she did feel much more sober. She opened her palm and squeezed it into a fist; surprisingly, her strength had returned.
Just as Elena said, her waist didn’t ache, her back didn’t hurt, and her legs didn’t cramp.
She really did have strength in her step!
“If it was just a sobering pill, you should have just said so!”
“If I told you the truth, how would I have been able to appreciate your pitiful side?”
“You — you jerk! — “
Milly lunged forward, ready to bite Elena.
However, it had to be said that her method of counterattacking was adorable. Elena wasn’t angry; instead, she had a look of pure enjoyment on her face.
Milly felt embarrassed and immediately stopped.
At that moment, the lights on the stage surged, and loud music roared.
“Ladies and girls, welcome to the Scarlet Phantom’s party!”
Milly calmed down slightly, staring blankly at the stage.
The master of ceremonies on stage was a witch dressed in black robes. It was surprisingly formal, with even a host taking the stage.
“Everyone, are you satisfied with our party?”
The witch scanned the crowd. Milly looked at her with disgust. Elena nudged Milly’s waist, reminding her not to blow their cover.
“Hmm, it seems everyone isn’t having enough fun?” the witch said with a laugh. “Well then, let’s get this carnival started! — “
Pink mist erupted from the center of the stage, gradually filling every corner of the hall. A faint scent of roses drifted through the smoke.
Milly remembered — this was likely an aphrodisiac, right?
She hadn’t expected them to vaporize the drug and spray it directly onto the customers!
Milly wanted to cover her nose and mouth, but the people around her started screaming.
“Aaah, this feels so good!”
“So powerful! It’s so intense! — “
As the smoke spread, the older women nearby began to get even more intimate. Milly frowned, thinking these people were all insane.
Come to think of it, why hadn’t she been affected?
After all, when Elena had ‘fed’ her the aphrodisiac before, she had become completely incapable of resisting.
“That pill from earlier was also the antidote for this.”
Elena saw Milly’s doubt and whispered the truth to her.
“Uh, you’re being this kind?”
“What are you saying? Don’t forget our goal. We’re here to destroy the ritual; I didn’t come here specifically to tease you.”
If Milly became weak and limp, her combat power would immediately drop by half.
“By the way, look at that person over there.”
Milly looked over and saw a 30-year-old woman.
She was holding two cute girls in her arms, both of whom were in a semi-conscious state.
Before Milly could understand what was happening, she realized the woman seemed to be from the Goddess Church. Elena gave a smug smile and leaned into Milly’s ear.
“That is the Arch-Bishop of Gutheram.”
“What…”
Milly took a few more looks. Sure enough, her temperament and the light-attribute magic she emitted clearly indicated someone of high status and power.
“An Arch-Bishop is actually leading the charge in this kind of event…”
“Heh, the surprises are just beginning.”
Elena pointed out a few more people. Every one of them possessed light-attribute magic. Even without Elena saying it, Milly knew they were all from the Goddess Church.
They had been affected by the aphrodisiac, causing them to unconsciously release their magic.
If they hadn’t been caught in its effects, they would all still be acting like sanctimonious hypocrites.
