Lyle, who spent the night huddled in a chair, woke up yawning.

A thin blanket was laid on top of him.

A pixie girl was bustling about in the kitchen.

The sent of white porridge lingered in the air.

For a moment, Lyle didn't know what to say.

The pixie girl had arisen even earlier than he had.

"Awoke already?"

The pixie girl turned around, her cheeks rosy, "It will be ready soon, please wait a little longer, sir."

Today's little cook, Lilith —— limited edition!

She's incredibly cute!

However, she was disappointed to find that Lyle gathered his blanket lackadaisically.

"By the way, did you change my clothes?"

Lilith pointed down, indicating her smooth thighs, "Look, the socks."

"You took them off yourself."

Lilith twiddled her fingers, "Sir...do you...like my socks?"

How strange.

But it was kind of exciting.

Lyle looked stunned, "How do you know...why would you think that?"

"You always look at my legs. You didn't look today because I'm not wearing socks?"

"......"

Lyle, who was caught red-handed, said seriously, "Lilith, you do not understand the underlying logic."

"Eh?"

"You must look beyond the surface and consider the essence of the matter."

Lilith blushed, "So...sir, you do not like my socks, but the socks themselves, is that it?"

Damn!

She actually got it right!

"Don't be misled by appearances."

Lyle raised a finger, "Actually, it has nothing to do with socks."

"Ah...I don't quite understand."

"Take your time. A monkey I used to teach was just as confused when it first began learning."

"A monkey? What happened then?"

"Later ——"

Lyle paused, "Later, the monkey sneaked into the tutor's bedroom at night and finally learned the secret of immortality."

Lilith, "......"

"Just joking."

Lyle gave a chuckle, "Lilith, since I’ve tasted your breakfast, I think I should remind you about your succubus roommate."

"Sue? Have you met her?"

Lilith said naively, "She's pretty, isn't she?"

"Yes."

Lyle stirred the white porridge in his bowl with a spoon, "The tenth level of Ishegard is a huge foggy forest. Without the purification and dispersement of a priest, the succubus won’t dare set foot there. If she does, she won’t ever return."

Lilith was startled, "What do you mean?"

"She would undoubtedly perish. By the way, she's now at the ninth level."

Speaking of which, Lyle could help her.

But it would not solve the problem at its root.

If she continued to move forward, the same predicament would occur.

There are interesting things in the advancement of the Ishegard dungeon.

Floating skiffs that only a Caster could control, fog barriers that only a priest could purify and pass, and a labyrinth that was constantly changing and only a Scholar could pass.

It would be suicidal to go in alone.

Moreover, Lyle had no interest in entering the dungeon for now.

Lilith turned pale.

Technically, it was absurd for an elf and a succubus to live together.

Elves believed in nature.

Succubi believed in sensual pleasures.

But Sue was not like ordinary succubi.

She was Lilith's best friend.

When the elven girl rushed into the room in a panic, Sue was sitting by the window, basking in the sun.

Her cheeks glowed with collagen in the sunlight.

Succubi were also innately beautiful.

Their distinctive silver hair and red pupils.

Aside from her tail and the tiny black lines under her eyelids.

The rest was not much different from humans.

"Lilith, all the earnings from this time are yours."

Sue took out a small money bag from under the pillow, containing approximately thirty gold coins.

The ninth level was a vast cemetery filled with ghosts and skeletons.

For an adventurer, thirty gold coins were not a huge sum.

But they were earned by risking Sue's life.

Lilith's gaze landed on the bandage on Sue's leg.

"Are... are you going to go back into the dungeon?!"

Sue laughed, "Of course, why not?"

When dealing with Lilith, this usually vigilant demon would soften.

"But teacher said, you might die in the dungeon."

"Teacher?"

"Mr. Lyle, he was a top-notch Scholar who once reached the forty-fourth level."

Lilith anxiously restated Lyle's words.

The forty-fourth level...

Setting aside those mythical adventuring groups, reaching the forty-fourth level was already a significant achievement.

The man from last night appeared in Sue's mind.

Just one look, and he identified the infection on her leg, which came from the ninth level cemetery.

He seemed to be an extremely capable person.

So why did he deny being a Scholar?

"Lilith, don't worry about me."

Sue gently stroked her golden hair, "Instead, why did you bring a man home and call him 'teacher'?"

Lilith used to always complain about the various characters she encountered at work.

"Oh..."

It was somewhat embarrassing to admit.

Lilith had always seen Sue as an older sister,

Now she didn't quite know how to explain.

"He's very capable."

"I know."

Sue spoke slowly but firmly: "Yet you have to acknowledge that human greed knows no bounds, he must want something from you."

"At first, I only wanted to upgrade my life skills, but then I found that the teacher is very nice. He never gets annoyed with me even when I ask silly questions."

Lilith scratched her own ear in embarrassment.

"And... it seems that I am taking advantage of the teacher. I don't think that a few sentences from him would qualify me to learn what he knows, which is quite distressing...”

"Knowledge?"

Sue was a little surprised.

Elves had natural blessings.

They had a keen intuition about people's hearts.

But when Lilith talked about Mr. Lyle, her ears turned red.

For elves, if their ears turned red when mentioning a man's name,

It was a sign of falling in love.

Sue quietly paused.

Even though the man only saved her last night

Due to her race, Sue didn't quite trust humans at heart.

Especially those who look gentle and refined...

Sue patted her head: "Do not trust others too easily, you, with your silly brain, could be taken advantage of."

She clearly understood that her elf sister was sometimes a bit slow.

"I know!"

Lilith stuck out her tongue: "You can earn money with me, a life profession is also good!"

Sue smiled, "Lilith, you know what I want."

Lilith fell silent.

Although Sue was a succubus, she didn't want people to look down on her.

But, finding a team for Sue?

Is that simple?

Adventurers are arrogant.

Even Mr. Lyle would be considered a "loser".

Plus, Sue was not just a succubus.

She is also a self-taught Swordsmaster.No one would be willing to team up with her.
