The afternoon passed quickly.
Night Lei did not wait for Faon intentionally; she only stood outside the Medical Hall for a short while.
When she did not see him come out, she went straight home.
There was a sense of regret.
Although she felt guilty saying this toward Faon’s wife, Evalyn, the feeling of walking back and talking with Faon yesterday had been truly intoxicating.
It felt as if… she and Faon were merely a young Human Race couple in the middle of a passionate romance.
But because she felt so apologetic toward Evalyn, Night Lei did not stay to wait.
After weaving through the center of the border town and greeting the familiar residents, Night Lei arrived at her front door.
She glanced at the house next door and noticed that only the living room light was on.
‘Has Brother Ang not returned yet?’
With that thought, Night Lei pushed open her own door.
Just as she entered, she noticed that someone had been in the house.
Night Lei subconsciously frowned, her heart tightening with worry.
She intended to ask Night Night, but she found that Night Night was not waiting for her in the living room as usual.
After setting aside the lunch basket from noon, she searched for a bit and discovered that the door to Night Night’s room was locked.
She knocked on the door and inquired softly, “Night Night? Can Sister come in?”
“Eh… Is that you, Sister? Welcome back. Please… wait for me a moment.”
Night Night’s flustered voice came from inside.
This was an unprecedented situation.
‘It couldn’t be that Brother Ang is in there, could it?’
Night Lei’s tone carried a hint of concern.
“…Night Night, what are you doing?”
As her words fell, the sound of things being tidied up came from the room.
Soon, the door was opened.
Night Night was a bit out of breath, but her panting could not hide the excitement in her voice.
“Sister… I, I was just trying on clothes.”
Night Lei looked behind Night Night and saw several sets of old clothes lying on the bed.
The materials were expensive and the craftsmanship exquisite.
They could certainly be called palace-grade; some were her leftovers, and others were Night Night’s from before.
“Are you picking out an outfit to go out and play with Brother Ang tomorrow?”
Night Lei asked with a smile.
In front of her sister, Night Night did not hide much.
Her face flushed slightly, and she smiled.
“Yes… tomorrow will be my first time going to the neighboring town. And, and… it’s also the first time I’m going out with Mr. Faon.”
Night Lei rubbed her head and teased with a laugh, “Oh… I thought because it was your first time going out with your sister, you were picking clothes for a long time. Does that mean Sister isn’t as important as Brother Ang in Night Night’s heart?”
“No… Sister will always be Sister. Besides… I’m not a child anymore,” Night Night said with a smile.
“Then I’ll take your word for it,” Night Lei said, smiling.
“However, those few on the bed cannot be worn out.”
Night Night glanced at the dresses on the bed and seemed to understand the reason.
She nodded with a bit of disappointment.
Night Lei patted her head.
“Those can’t be worn, but several of the ones we bought after coming here are fine. Shall I help you choose? After we pick one, we can prepare dinner together.”
“Mhm!”
Hearing Night Lei’s words, a smile bloomed on Night Night’s face again.
Entering the room, Night Lei watched Night Night’s reaction and could not help but feel a bit happy.
And the reason Night Night had such a reaction seemed to be all because of Faon… her own Brother Ang.
‘I really… I really want to claim him for myself. I really want to live together with Brother Ang.’
But as a semi-succubus, as long as she could be near Brother Ang and see him, she was content—even if it was only in the capacity of a “sister” and “friend.”
“W-What is it, Sister?”
During the selection process, seeing Night Lei’s gaze turn a bit misty, Night Night asked cautiously.
“I was just thinking… did someone come to our house during the day?”
Night Lei did not show any panic; she simply picked up a dress and spoke with a smile.
“Oh… I forgot to tell you. Sister Evalyn came by at noon…”
Night Night took the dress her sister handed over.
“Lady Evalyn? Did she say anything?”
Night Night’s eyes flickered slightly.
“Sister Evalyn just came over to chat with me… Oh, right. She said that during our lunch break at work… we could eat together with Mr. Faon. Sister Evalyn is worried that Mr. Faon will be lonely.”
“…Lady Evalyn really said that?”
Night Lei was stunned for a moment, her expression turning odd.
Because she had eaten with Faon this very noon.
Night Night nodded.
“Ye… Yes. She also hopes Mr. Faon can make more friends with us. Because before… Mr. Faon would focus so purely on doing one thing that while he seems very gentle, he actually doesn’t have many friends.”
“Is that so? Lady Evalyn and Brother Ang really are a loving couple,” Night Lei said with a smile.
Night Night found it a bit strange; hearing those words, she only nodded hesitantly.
Night Lei chose not to tell Night Night about what happened at noon.
That was an activity the two of them had shared alone over the past two days.
But hearing Night Night say this… it seemed Evalyn’s thoughts were similar to hers.
It was as if she was sending them a signal: “It’s okay to get close to my husband.”
‘Perhaps I can take advantage of such an opportunity?’
But facing the prospect of destroying the relationship of such a deeply loving couple, Night Lei felt a rare bitterness in her heart.
In her view, as a wife, Evalyn was perfect in every respect—except she was not qualified when it came to restricting her partner’s interactions with the opposite sex.
Night Night also had things she had not told her sister.
For instance… she actually wanted to become the candidate Lady Evalyn spoke of.
On the other side, Faon had only just returned home.
Although he did not know why Miss Eve had kept him for so long at the end, it was likely just idle chatter about his request for leave tomorrow.
Furthermore, Faon had taken the opportunity to mention that he was going to pick up Ailin.
This was his habit; when there was no better solution to a problem, he would follow the first method that came to mind.
“Why are you back so late today? Was the Medical Hall busy?”
Evalyn greeted him with a beaming smile.
“No, it wasn’t too busy. I just talked to Miss Eve about tomorrow’s leave and the possibility of taking several days off in the future.”
Seeing his wife, Faon subconsciously showed a gentle smile.
The two sat at the dining table, where Evalyn had already prepared dinner.
“What did Miss Eve say? The work here can’t function without my husband, right?”
Evalyn rested her chin on her crossed hands and asked with a grin.
“She didn’t say much, just that it was fine. It might be because I came back early yesterday, so she asked a few more questions,” Faon explained briefly.
“Hmph. But speaking of which, Miss Eve is also a beauty. She’s just too dense toward people,” Evalyn said, laughing.
The corners of Faon’s mouth tilted upward slightly.
“Hmm? Is Sister Evalyn jealous? Don’t worry, my heart will always be loyal to you.”
“How could I be jealous of normal work? Besides, I trust my husband very much!”
Evalyn shook her head repeatedly.
Right now, her thoughts were very strange.
She both wanted Faon to do something to the Commission Targets and did not want him to do anything she didn’t know about.
Sigh.
Moreover, she was currently looking for an opportunity to tell her husband about the idea she had discussed with Night Night at noon.
Faon thought for a moment and decided not to hide things from his wife.
“But… speaking of which, I ran into Night Lei at lunch today. We talked about going out tomorrow, so we had lunch together. Also, she’s thinking about us sharing meals together.”
‘Isn’t this a direct collision with my own plan?’
Evalyn now hoped her husband would have more contact with the two Commission Targets.
After all, her husband’s Corruption Level was still at zero.
Given the Affection Level between them, once his Corruption Level rose, the commission would likely be completed very easily.
Evalyn blinked and said with a smile, “That’s fine. It would be very convenient for you to eat with Night Lei. If it’s just eating together, I won’t mind at all—”
“…You won’t mind?”
Faon was stunned for a moment.
“But I think if you were like that with another man, Sister Evalyn, I would definitely mind.”
Evalyn froze for a second, then quickly spoke up, “It’s different. My world will only ever have one man, my husband. But you still have to go out and work, and it’s inevitable that you’ll interact with women. So… interacting with a woman I trust is much better than interacting with a woman I don’t know.”
After finishing, she laughed and added, “Could it be… that my husband really has some thoughts about Night Lei?”
“How could that be? With a wife like this, how could I ever look for anyone else?”
Knowing his wife’s thoughts, Faon was a bit happy, and his mood improved instantly.
Precisely because of this, he decided that he must never let anything cross the line.
The two finished their dinner, and then they read books and laughed together.
Soon, it was time for bed.
After showering, Faon hugged his wife’s soft body and teased, “Sister Evalyn isn’t pouncing on me like she did yesterday?”
Evalyn gave a soft huff and hugged Faon back, saying with a giggle, “You think I don’t want to? If my period hadn’t started, I would have used my rights as a wife to pin my husband to the bed long ago.”
“Sister Evalyn’s period started? Wait… in that case, it’s better if I go to fetch Ailin by myself. In this state… traveling two trips and having to explain things to Ailin, your body definitely won’t be able to take it.”
Faon gave his answer after a moment of thought.
The issue with Evalyn’s body was very specific.
Traveling during this period, combined with… emotional fluctuations, made Faon fear that all his previous efforts would go to waste.
“But I want to go too… to see Ailin. And I told you, I don’t want Ailin to know about my physical problems.”
Evalyn blinked.
“So… I have an idea.”
“What idea?”
Faon had a feeling it wasn’t anything good.
“It’s that you use Disguise Magic to make Night Lei or Yeye look like me. They can stay there for two days and then let Ailin come back. That way, Ailin won’t worry about me, her sister, and we can smoothly bring her here.”
Faon felt his intuition was indeed correct, so he said with a mix of laughter and tears, “What kind of idea is that, Sister Evalyn? Stop teasing your husband.”
“Oh, I’m serious… I even discussed it with Night Night at noon today, and she thought it was fine too.”
Evalyn giggled in Faon’s arms.
“……” Faon fell silent for a moment.
He smiled and stroked Evalyn’s slender hand.
“The Magic Power in your body hasn’t reached the point of making you speak nonsense yet.”
“Truly… I’m really not joking. My husband actually doesn’t trust his own wife anymore.”
Evalyn broke free from Faon’s embrace and spoke with a mock-pout.
