261 Dekan has never let Cornelia down.
This sinister smile instinctively sent a shiver down Fahlir’s spine.
But Fahlir quickly calmed down.
What’s the use of an intimidating presence?
The disparity in strength is right there!
After dealing with Bachelor, the next one will be that damn Prison Guard!
“Hehehehe…”
Dekan laughed, shaking his head.
Now he was completely awake.
His entire brain began to rapidly restart and speed up.
Some words that weren’t yet clear, which could only be spoken out of instinct and impulse, were now completely swallowed back down.
At this point, Dekan could only be certain of one thing.
This Fahlir is like an old man seeking poison, wanting to die.
If only the spell of silence’s range was sufficient, he would have cast it long ago, permanently silencing this beta Fahlir.
Since a Demon is sincerely offering himself for punishment.
Then Dekan will surely fulfill his wish.
After all, this is the signature business he started with.
Moreover, Dekan felt his condition was exceptionally good.
After Fahlir helped him raise his blood pressure, the jumbled thoughts and the pent-up anger in his heart finally found an outlet.
But before that.
The truly important matter hasn’t been resolved.
Dekan once again turned to Cornelia.
Before he could even open his mouth, Fahlir’s angry shout rang out:
“You must not continue anymore!!!”
Dekan has noticed.
Fahlir was intentional.
On top of being tricked by Dekan and beaten up by Bachelor, now he had to be offended by the atmosphere between Dekan and Cornelia.
Fahlir could no longer bear the shame.
The only way to preserve his dignity was to interrupt this conversation.
“Later.”
Dekan said to Cornelia.
Dekan also understood clearly.
Now, there was no point in clarifying what was between him and Cornelia immediately.
The current scene and atmosphere were unsuitable for them to continue talking.
So Dekan reverted to the way he initially communicated with Cornelia.
Just one word, and she’d understand.
“Hmm…”
Cornelia lowered her head, her response as soft as a mosquito’s hum.
She understood. Dekan’s meaning was: after the Shadow World finishes, back in the real world, I’ll tell you some things properly.
In spite of an indescribable feeling of loneliness in her heart, it wasn’t because of Dekan.
It was probably best for both of them to cool down a bit before returning to the real world and finding an opportunity to talk.
Otherwise, she and Dekan would both feel awkward.
Because Cornelia already felt unsure about how to face Dekan.
And from afar.
Fahlir: “???”
How did these two manage to communicate successfully?
Is there some kind of encrypted communication?
…
Dekan: “Wait.”
Cornelia: “Alright…”
Cornelia nodded slightly, preparing to run to the seventh floor transmission gate entrance to wait for him according to Dekan’s instructions.
Even though they have a unique way of communicating.
There wasn’t much more to say now.
This place was full of danger, being watched, and there was Fahlir doing everything in his power to disrupt their atmosphere.
Regardless of what Dekan wanted to say.
Or what Cornelia wanted to hear.
It shouldn’t be continued here and now.
“Kuhahahaha!”
After their disrespectful actions were finally stopped, Fahlir laughed in smug delight.
…
Morion and Teacher Cat, who were secretly peeking, were so angry they could itch their teeth.
“You damn Warden!”
“Teacher Cat, don’t say that. Now I want to kill him!”
Morion, who was usually very averse to battle, had become so warlike at this moment.
Although his plan worked marvelously.
The scene that he and Teacher Cat most hoped to witness might not have a chance to be seen with their own eyes.
“Frustrating! In such a crucial moment where the young lovers are about to reveal their feelings, once the normal attack is interrupted, it’s hard to continue! Fahlir, you damn fool!!”
Teacher Cat hit the ground with his paw, speaking in pain.
“Moreover, Dekan has been interrupted three times… honestly, he’s done his best…”
Morion said while covering his face.
Even if Dekan truly realized Cornelia’s feelings for him, and the things he should explain to Cornelia,
At least now,
Dekan couldn’t possibly reveal his innermost thoughts to Cornelia in front of him, Teacher Cat, and all the live-stream viewers.
He understood what Teacher Cat meant.
Sometimes, once a crucial moment is interrupted, it’s really hard to continue.
The right timing, location, and people, when missed, can only be tried again the next opportunity.
After all, when facing important people,
Some words aren’t that easy to say.
Everything needs to be just right.
According to the encrypted conversation between Dekan and Cornelia, Teacher Cat and Morion roughly deduced their meaning.
Dekan still planned to talk with Cornelia once they returned to the real world.
Just then, the atmosphere would be gone, as well as the assistance, possibly leading to another period of calm like that of an old married couple.
After all, the interaction between Dekan and Cornelia has always been comfortable for them.
Neither would want to easily disrupt that balance.
…
As Dekan watched Cornelia turn around.
He was also ready to deal with Fahlir.
There may be a lot he needs to say to Cornelia.
But he can’t finish now.
It wasn’t a good time or place to speak candidly.
However, while listening to Fahlir’s grating laughter.
Dekan felt that if he let Fahlir be proud forever, no matter what pain he caused Fahlir afterward, he would feel he had lost.
Maybe due to Dekan’s strange sense of competition.
Or perhaps it was his usual bad intentions.
Or he hasn’t truly calmed down yet.
Dekan gazed at Cornelia’s momentarily dejected profile.
Suddenly, he took a big step forward, reached out to grab Cornelia’s hand.
Surprisingly, he embraced her.
“Ah?!”
Fahlir stared at this scene with wide eyes, his laughter cutting off suddenly.
He felt an unimaginable mental attack!
What was even more unacceptable to him is,
Dekan actually stuck out his tongue at him, full of taunting.
“AAAAAAAAAH!!! You two animals have gone too far!!! What do you take this place as!!!”
Fahlir screamed, his eyes red with madness, anger, and hatred!
“Hmph hmph.”
Dekan gently stroked Cornelia’s smooth hair, grinning proudly.
“You deserve it.”
Cornelia couldn’t help but laugh, even turning back to take a look at Fahlir’s expression.
She also learned from Dekan to tauntingly stick out her tongue at Fahlir.
Then, she buried her head in Dekan’s neck again, whispering softly:
“You have truly never let me down.”
