I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 274

Chapter 127: Summer Night Festival Invitation

“I think I’m pretty much healed up now.”

One evening, after Alice’s consecutive visits over a few days, Roy suddenly said this.

The young boy was skillfully toying with a blood-red dagger.

“I’ll be heading back in two days.”

After a week of healing, Roy’s injuries had healed, and his extraordinary power was fully restored.

His Iron Will had reached the peak of Sequence 8, just a step away from bloodline advancement. He even had time to practice his abilities in True Ancestor’s Blessing.

“Not staying for two more days?” Nia lazily sprawled on a hammock, casually asked.

“It wouldn’t be right to keep troubling you all, plus Alice is waiting for me, after all.”

“Ah, so you really care about your little maid.”

Nia’s lips curled into a cheeky smile, but her mood was anything but light.

In reality, Roy had already fully healed two days ago, and Nia was simply dragging things out under the pretense that her vitality wasn’t fully restored.

But no matter how long she delayed, she couldn’t put it off forever.

That day was bound to come.

She needed to come to a conclusion herself.

The first time, she was too over the top; the second time, Alice interrupted her. After those two attempts, Nia had indulged herself with Roy’s company, yet she had never found a new opportunity.

Even her mother had started to complain about her slow progress!

Once Roy went back, it would be difficult to create a private world for the two of them.

She had to seize the opportunity; this time, she had to win Roy over no matter what!

Nia silently vowed, executing a graceful flip and suddenly wrapped her arms around Roy from behind.

The blood-red dagger in the young boy’s hand trembled, almost slipping out of grip.

“By the way, want to go out to play tomorrow?”

“Huh?” Roy couldn’t keep up with her train of thought.

Nia blurted, “Umm, staying cooped up at home isn’t great, going out to relax will be good for your health too.”

“Exactly, tomorrow is our Green Council’s Summer Night Festival. Let’s go take a stroll, consider it the final step in your healing.”

It was the first time Roy had seen someone consider going to a festival as part of healing; he found it a bit laughable.

“Are you sure it’s not just you wanting to go have fun?”

“Going out for fun and healing aren’t mutually exclusive, right?” Nia grinned playfully.

“What do you say? Are you in or out?”

Nia gave Roy a little shake, her voice growing sweeter.

Whether it was intentional or not, some rather well-endowed parts kept brushing against him, stirring a flurry of emotions within Roy.

“Come on, it’s a bore staying at home.”

After a moment of hesitation, Roy pondered, “Are you sure you just want to have fun?”

“Clearly you could invite Jenny, Amy, or even Alice, yet you’re inviting me, the sick one?”

Hearing this made Nia freeze, unable to move.

She couldn’t see Roy’s expression, but for some reason, she felt like he had seen through her entirely.

No, Roy wasn’t oblivious.

After being so obvious those two times, it wouldn’t be surprising if he noticed something.

In a moment, she hoped he would read her feelings and respond, yet she felt a natural shyness and anxiety that made her want to hide her hopes.

Under this conflict, Nia ultimately flashed her usual bright grin, appearing carefree.

“Isn’t it just to accompany you, the injured one, for some fresh air?”

The items in the boy’s hands had unknowingly disappeared.

“I’ll take that as it is.”

“Then it’s settled!”

Hearing a slight sigh of relief from the girl, Roy’s anxious heart also calmed down.

The tension wasn’t just Nia’s alone.

The next evening, under the servants’ careful attention, Roy was groomed like a doll.

Roy usually hated being fussed over, but when it was all done, looking at himself in the mirror, he couldn’t help but think he looked pretty good.

His face was already handsome, and with the dew from the Green Council’s festival accentuating his features, he looked refined and elegant, giving off a scholarly vibe that was both gentle and distinguished.

He wore a traditional green short robe of the Elven race, vibrant yet not gaudy, light and ornate, decorated with emerald green jasmine motifs, resembling a wisp of mist drifting through the woods.

Apart from his non-pointy ears, at first glance, he really looked like a handsome boy of Elven descent.

Although it might sound a bit pretentious, even Roy felt himself looking attractive in this ensemble.

Having changed first, Roy waited in the hall.

Before long, a blue-clad girl appeared, escorted by the maidens.

The girl still sported her youthful, vibrant side ponytail as usual. However, she had also changed into a similar outfit as Roy, a near-thigh-length blue short robe. Her lower half was adorned with white knee-high socks featuring jasmine patterns, hugging her thighs, while her high-heeled sandals revealed her delicate, doll-like toes, adding a playful yet sexy flair.

Nia, usually bare-faced, had applied a hint of light makeup today, losing some of her demure charm for a touch of allure. When she smiled, it was sweet and tender, just like her name, akin to a nightingale flitting through the woods, dazzlingly charming.

She floated towards him like a soft cloud, leaving a faint jasmine scent in her wake.

From the moment she appeared, her bright eyes had yet to leave Roy.

“This outfit was chosen by me! My taste is truly impeccable,” Nia said, surveying him with satisfaction.

After being momentarily entranced by the girl’s new attire, Roy couldn’t help but compliment, “You look great too.”

“But it’s a bit out of your style.”

Nia loved adventure and preferred clothes that were light and easy to move in.

Or rather, she liked to wear revealing outfits.

The traditional clothes of the Green Council were exquisite but conservative, cumbersome, and impractical, which shouldn’t suit Nia’s taste.

Had she chosen this to wear specifically for herself? Remembering Nia’s behavior over the past few days, Roy suddenly had this thought flash through his mind.

But then the Elven girl raised her eyebrows and smiled mysteriously, “Hehe, the really good part is yet to come.”

Nia turned and gave a knowing glance to the attendants, who promptly retreated, leaving just the two of them in the hall.

Only then did Nia draw closer to Roy, making a move that left him in disbelief.

She actually leaned down and opened her robe wide.

“Idiot, what are you…?”

Roy flailed about in panic, yet he noticed that she wasn’t being overly bold.

Underneath the robe, she wore a blue bra, with black hot pants hugging her thighs; aside from that, her skin was exposed, showcasing her alluring figure and supple, flawless skin in full view.

Many female rangers dressed like this, so Roy would usually just take a glance without special feelings.

Yet this ensemble, hidden under the exquisite robe, combined with Nia’s remarkable figure, gave off an irresistible allure.

It felt like a hidden surprise meant just for him.

Nia’s cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes sparkling with mischief and nervousness.

The mother and daughter, with their vastly different personalities, argued tirelessly over what to wear for the big showdown. In the end, they settled on this compromise: a simple traditional short robe on the outside, while underneath were a bra and hot pants.

“What do you think? Isn’t it pretty?”

Roy covered his burning cheeks, letting out a slight sigh, then reached out to pull her robe back down a bit.

“It looks good,” Roy couldn’t deny the truth in his heart but still helped her adjust her outfit while advising softly, “But you are a girl, be a bit more cautious outside.”

Nia blinked, then immediately realized, tightly adjusting her robe, and playfully stuck her tongue out at him.

“Don’t worry, it’s only for you!”

“Alright, let’s head out!”

Nia beamed and took the lead out the door.

Watching that radiant smile, Roy felt the balance of his heart, already tilted towards her, plummet once more.
