Chapter 23: The Disrupted Plan

The instantly bristling Aifalin wished she could jump out right now and question Yelei about what she intended to do to her husband.

And moreover!

From the meaning in Yelei’s words, it seemed as though she and her own husband, Faang, had already long since made some kind of appointment to do something.

Could it be that the two of them… had agreed to do it in the town…?

But Aifalin had never heard Faang mention anything like this!

Which meant that for something like this, her Faang—her childhood sweetheart husband—was actually hiding something from her!

For someone like her, who had a special fetish and wanted to record every posture of her husband, this was absolutely intolerable.

Although Ailin had said in front of the Yelei sisters how much she trusted her husband, that was only for the completion of the commission and for their happy life.

No matter how much she trusted him, seeing the neighbor next door speak to her husband with such suggestive words would make her angry, wouldn’t it?

But!

If she jumped out now, not only would this difficult commission fail instantly, even the special commission would become impossible to complete.

She might even be taken for a pervert who liked to secretly watch her husband date other women.

Most importantly… her husband Faang might develop a hint of distance from her.

Hiding in the shadows, Ailin now felt a little aggrieved.

What was strange, though, was that the emotion she felt seemed to arise only… because her husband had hidden something from her.

She did not feel much emotion toward Yelei’s seductive tone itself.

Realizing this, Ailin’s mood became extremely conflicted.

Right now she both wanted to rush out and wanted to complete the difficult commission—truly complex to the extreme.

“Miss Aifalin really is impatient. Please rest assured, the information provided by the guild won’t deceive anyone. Mr. Faang, who doesn’t even have a corruption level, would not commit any behavior that betrays Miss Ailin. A friendly reminder, Miss Aifalin—this time it’s just a misunderstanding.”

The receptionist’s cold reminder sounded in time.

“I know, but no wife can have not even the slightest emotional fluctuation, right?”

Ailin’s voice was aggrieved, but she didn’t forget to ask what she wanted to ask.

“If… my husband and Yelei and Yeye were to do something here, what rewards would there be?”

She had already prepared for the worst.

The receptionist seemed to fall silent for a moment.

“The reward for Mr. Faang having contact with the commission targets outside the scope of the commission will be unlocked later. But if something really happens now, it will directly complete all of the Night sisters’ commissions, and the guild will issue compensation due to a judgment error.”

“Even so… I don’t want my husband to be here, and… I hope it’s just a misunderstanding.”

Although Ailin said this, she still quieted down.

Faang also reacted at this time. This was near the junction in front of the town entrance.

Using prohibited disguise magic here was indeed somewhat dangerous—barely worthy of being called “bold,” as Yelei had put it.

The strange tone of the other party’s words did make Faang pause for a moment, but during previous work she did indeed speak like that.

And seeing Yeye’s stunned expression, it seemed Yelei hadn’t told her sister about this matter.

After hesitating for a moment, Faang said, “It should be fine here. Although I haven’t personally set foot on this small path before, from what we’ve seen along the way, no one should come by.”

As he spoke, he saw Yeye looking as though she wanted to speak but was extremely anxious.

To prevent misunderstanding, Faang added, “Sister Yelei’s way of speaking is a bit strange… or maybe not strange, just easy to make people misunderstand. What Sister Yelei is referring to is 【disguise magic】.”

“Hehe… that’s why I said little brother Ang is being bold by choosing here.”

Yelei said with a smile, as if the obvious shock from the two just now had no effect on her at all.

Then she explained Faang’s proposal to Yeye, whose face was a mix of hesitation and unease.

After finishing, she gently patted Yeye’s head.

“Our Yeye… didn’t misunderstand something, did she?”

“Because… big sister always says things that make people misunderstand!”

Yeye shouted dissatisfiedly, but then she relaxed.

She had already heard Ailin talk about 【disguise magic】 before.

However, what she cared about more was that everything just now… had only been her sister’s joke.

She had not betrayed Miss Ailin’s commission.

“Sorry, sorry… seeing little brother Ang and Yeye being too serious, I couldn’t help but make a little joke.”

Yelei said with her hands clasped together.

Because of her usual mysterious and seductive demeanor, Yelei apologizing like this instead seemed unusually cute.

Yeye couldn’t resist her sister’s apology at all, and with a faint blush on her face, she became dizzy and forgave her.

Moreover… in her heart, she instead began to look forward to the scene of strolling through the town with Mr. Faang while wearing the appearance of a pure-blooded human……

Would it really be like Sister Lin said…… would people take her and Mr. Faang for a married couple?

Maybe it was because she had been suppressing herself for too long, or maybe because Faang was right there.

Yeye didn’t notice at all that the thoughts she would usually subconsciously interrupt had already gotten out of control.

After hearing the whole process, Aifalin let out a slight sigh of relief.

But watching Faang cast 【Disguise Magic】 on the two of them, she grew a little worried about her next actions.

After all, everything she had said that morning was meant to have them pretend to be a married couple with her husband when questioned about their relationship.

Then, taking advantage of their 【traits】 and the situation where she herself was not present, there would be a high chance the two of them would pull some small tricks.

But now… her husband’s good intentions had directly disrupted her plan.

It seemed that under the current circumstances, she truly had no choice but to use a one-time skill, and she would also have to follow along.

If necessary, she might even be able to use the old method from when she completed simple commissions.

Ailin recalled the sentence she had thought of that morning.

Using the matchmaker skill to assist… them using her own husband.

No…… she couldn’t think like that.

Once she reached S-rank matchmaker, she would kick them all out.

Aifalin shook her head.

The process of Faang casting 【Disguise Magic】 on the two went very smoothly.

After all, 【Disguise Magic】 was something his old teammate had improved after drawing inspiration from succubi.

Yeye was the one cast on second.

When she opened her eyes and saw that her sister’s succubus horns were no longer visible, she looked somewhat excited.

To Yeye, the two of them now looked, in appearance, like nothing more than a pair of ordinary human sisters who had gone out to have fun and were carefully dressed.

They no longer needed to cover their succubus horns with headscarves, nor endure others’ wary gazes and whispered conversations, nor leave immediately after buying what they needed like her sister had done before.

And all of this was because… of the gentle Mr. Faang.

“How does it feel? Nothing else strange, right?”

After finishing the 【Disguise Magic】, Faang asked the two of them.

“No, nothing strange, Mr. Faang.”

Yeye said with a smile, but then she became a bit flustered.

“It’s just… I don’t know how to thank you, Mr. Faang.”

“It was just a small effort. Miss Yeye can help me pick a gift to bring to Sister Farin later.”

Faang said with a smile.

“Mm… okay!”

Yeye replied with a smile.

“What about Sister Yelei?”

Faang asked.

Yelei seemed a bit absent-minded.

After a while, she smiled and spoke.

“Hehe… I was a little distracted just now. I don’t feel anything strange either. Rather… I feel very good right now~ All of this is thanks to little brother Ang, so please look forward to the reward I mentioned before.”

“Then please help me pick out a lingerie style to buy for Sister Lin?”

Faang said with a smile.

“Of course… that’s something I should help little brother Ang with.”

Yelei blinked.
