Chapter 209: Master Please!!
"Marie, Alysia, Tiana, and others require a few days of rest, so there will be no classes for the Elite Class over the next three days. You guys can either return to the dorm or inform the warden before wish to stay at your respective homes" Aadya conveyed respectfully in Adriana's presence.
"Hmm" Adriana nodded in acknowledgement.
"Alright, Teach. See you later" Eli said.
"Tsk, only three days. Do you guys even think about students healt-mmfff" Zera, having returned to her normal self, began to rebuke but was promptly covered by Mia.
"Thank you, Ms. Aadya" Mia expressed gratitude.
"..." Scylla nodded in agreement.
"..."
"Eli?" Aadya inquired hesitantly.
"Yes?" Eli tilted his head in curiosity. This was his first time seeing her acting hesitant.
"...Hmm...I-...Well---"
"It's okay, I know..." Eli reassured with a warm smile.
Aadya awkwardly laughed, thinking Eli had grasped the essence of her message. However, her laughter abruptly ceased upon hearing the remaining sentences.
"You already starting to miss me....ah? I feel very touched, My dear teach.
Well, I also miss my beautiful Teach. Don't worry, just THREE days, not a WEEK, right? 'A WEEK? So don't worry, Teach... otherwise, I also 'sob' 'sob'," Eli faked his cry as he pinched her cheek before walking away.
"....." Aadya froze, not because of his absurd action, but due to the hateful glares from every woman present.
'I-I just wanted to thank him for helping Rize and Alysia but--' Aadya's thoughts were interrupted when she felt an intense hatred and killing intent emanating from a certain golden-haired individual.
Aadya sensed she might lose consciousness as her eyes locked onto the dark abyss...
'Cough, Cough'
Adriana's sudden cough snapped Aadya out of her trance. She immediately scanned the area for that particular individual; however, everyone had left without uttering a word.
"...W-What was that? Maybe I am tired..." Aadya muttered as she removed her glasses and rubbed her fatigued eyes.
"So that's his wife...ah? She looks beautiful" Aadya mumbled before entering the tent to take care of other students and deal with their nagging parents....Being a Teacher was sometimes nothing but a pain.
.....
....
...
"What should we do with her?" Eli rubbed his chin as he looked at the peacefully sleeping 20-foot white cat.
"Just order her to wake up, Master" Scylla suggested as glanced at the golden-haired woman who was simply staring at Eli as if eager for something, 'Is he trying to take revenge on her?' Scylla wondered.
"Hmm...." Eli squinted, finding it difficult to give such a command to someone who had just saved everyone.
"Shrink to normal cat size, Kitty" Eli muttered.
Anna's body glowed before transforming into a normal-sized cat.
"Here we go..." Eli then took her into his hands and carefully warmed her.
"ppurrrrr"
Anna purred before smiling and continuing to run around in her dreamland.
"....Well, shall we go?" Adriana suggested to the group.
Eli, disregarding her, began walking away.
""...."" Mia and Scylla exchanged glances before following him.
"...Hmm..." Zera wrestled with inner conflict, uncertain of the decision to make.
""...."" Adriana and the golden-haired woman stared at the back of the person they loved before exchanging a few glances with each other.
After a few seconds, they understood he was angry, so they quietly decided to follow Eli but still they didn't like the way Eli avoiding them.
"Master?"
"Let's enjoy the scenery while walking towards the Teleportation Station...the sunset here looks beautiful" Eli answered Scylla.
'Enjoy? How?' Scylla screamed inwardly as she clearly felt two ominous beings glaring at them...she felt she might die at any moment.
However, Mia didn't care about the other bitches as long as her brother was on her side.
"What does my cute little sister want?" Eli suddenly asked, observing Mia's hesitating face.
"Huh?" Mia startled before hurriedly saying, "W-What? N-Nothing, B-big brother..."
"I know Little Mia more than our big sister, so tell me?....Do you want her?" Eli pressed on as he gave her a gentle smile while showing Kitty Anna, who was sleeping in his arms.
"Heh..." Mia tried to control her smiling face as she felt pleased, 'He hasn't changed a bit; he still looks at me clearly and deeply...hehe...hehehehehe, I love you, I love you brother....'.
"cough, I lov-ahem, I mean, I am a little curious brother"
"Curious?"
"Well, you know....how you captured a Mythical Beast believed to be extinct since the dark age?" Mia's eyes sparkled with curiosity as her imagination ran wild. 'It must have been an epic battle, where my brother valiantly faced this mythical beast... I wish I could have witnessed that world-shaking achievement that no one else has achieved---'
"HII!!" Mia's thoughts were abruptly halted when she felt someone biting her ears.
"B-Brother!!" Mia's face turned bright red, but she refrained from pushing him away.
Observing her snap out of her world, Eli smiled and shifted his attention to Anna.
"Mythical Beast?"
"Huh? You don't know" Mia expressed surprise at her brother's words.
"Yes, She is just an overlo---"
"Eli!!" A stern voice interrupted from behind.
"..." Eli glanced back to see Adriana glaring at him as if saying 'Do not say anything'. Nevertheless, he shrugged it off and continued, "She is the Overlord of the Prison Dungeon".
Adriana facepalmed herself.
"Huh?" Mia was shocked to hear that.
Read first at NovelFire _em _pyr.
"Yeah, I acquired her from the Prison Dungeon as my servant after a series of battles against..." Eli began to explain.
"OH!! My Big Brother is the best!" Mia exclaimed in happiness.
"Hmm...Of course!" Eli responded with a smirk, glancing at the two women.
"So, she's just an Overlord?" Mia frowned, noticing something about the illusionary ornaments that adorned Anna's face before that was described in the ancient notes.
"Yes--"
"No, she is a Mythical Beast" Scylla interrupted.
"...." Eli froze for a moment, then turned his head to look at her with a frown.
"Adriana and...Lil...Mrs. Lily knew" Scylla stated with a straight face.
"....I see" Eli pondered for a moment before nodding, 'So, they knew about it....ah?' and shrugging off those thoughts.
'Now the important thing is.....If she is indeed a Mythical Beast, then... what a pain....' Eli mused with a lazy expression, contemplating the potential intrusion of other greedy bastards.
Observing this, Scylla, Mia, and Zera burst into laughter as if his face saying everything.
---k---u
Eli suddenly stopped and looked around.
"What is it, Brother?"
"Hmm...Nothing" Eli responded and continued his walk while pondering, 'Am I being paranoid by the turn of events?'

Asher Eli's Villa
"I am hom---" Eli, upon opening the door, was greeted by the sight of the pink-haired woman kneeling on the ground in a 'dogeza' position.
A collective gasp filled the room as everyone entered, quickly closing the door behind them.
"Prisania?" Eli furrowed his brow as he took in the unexpected scene.
"...."
"Prisania?"
"I-ae s-srriii, M-Msstrrr" Prisania's voice emerged amidst sobs and incomprehensible words.
"...What is going on---" Eli began to question, but his attention was diverted to a small wooden box being timidly pushed forward.
"...." Eli handed Anna over to Mia, then knelt down to pick up the box, his eyes displaying an unusual dullness. Slowly opening it, the atmosphere within the room grew tense.
"...." Eli's countenance darkened, devoid of the warmth and emotion it usually held, "Stand up" he ordered Prisania.
Her body jolted as she complied, appearing like a child who had transgressed....her face adorned with traces of tears and mucus.
Eli, in stark contrast to his prior demeanour, regarded her with an emotionless gaze that sent shivers down everyone's spine.
Witnessing this, Prisania stammered, "I-I...P-Pl-N.."
She found herself facing eyes she never wished to see from the person who had previously shown nothing but warmth and kindness.
"P-Please, Don't 'sob' Don't ha-hate m---" Before she could complete her plea, Eli seized her neck, lifting her off the ground.
"...N-N...I-I am....rry.....don....hat....." She wriggled like a fish, her tearful eyes not pleading for her life but rather to escape the disdainful gaze Eli was casting upon her.
Adriana averted her eyes, Zera maintained indifference since she wasn't much talked with her, and the golden-haired woman fixated her gaze on Eli.
"~Nya~" Kitty Anna, just waking from a lengthy dream, thought, 'I felt, for the first time, I slept peacefully' as her eyes first fell on a golden-haired woman....'This woman isn't she-----shit' Her thought was interrupted by the unfolding drama.
Her only thought now: 'Prisania messed up...ah'.
Jumping from Mia, who was still processing her brother's sudden change, Anna exclaimed,
"M-Master!!"
"M-Master, Please!! She is a good girl!! Master, Please!!...." Anna pleaded for her only friend in this hellish environment.
However, her plea fell on deaf ears as Eli continued his unyielding glare at Prisania, making it increasingly difficult for her to breathe.
"-c-aah..." Prisania's face turned red as tears and snot poured out.
"I am truly sorry, Master....I have failed as the Head Maid in teaching them" Scylla stepped forward, kneeling down.
"..." Eli's eyes exhibited a slight wavering as he gradually released his grip, allowing Prisania to fall back to the ground.
'cough, cough, cough'
'-Ha-Ha-'
Prisania breathed heavily, and yet,
"P-Please, do-don't hat-te m---"
"Don't show your face" Eli said emotionlessly and walked inside.
"..." Prisania felt she lost something.
"..." The golden-haired woman and Zera followed him.
The others waited for Prisania to settle down before following Eli.
Scylla instructed Anna to take care of Prisania in her room while she went to inspect Eli's ravaged room, having gathered most of the information by questioning them.
Afterwards, Eli sat on the sofa, watching TV. Mia settled beside him, while Zera and Adriana occupied another sofa, and the golden-haired woman sat separately.
/
It's been recorded that 1000 years have passed since we last encountered another Dungeon Walker.
Most information about them remains unknown, and students from the Elite class have fallen victim to this monstrous entity.
Students have been brutally assaulted, and Nex is providing no answers to this tragedy---
/
"Just how long are you going to ignore us?" Adriana, who had been controlling herself, finally snapped and shut down the TV.
Eli didn't move his eyes; instead, he stared at the empty screen.
"..." This only fueled Adriana's frustration.
"It's not even a day, and you guys have already reached your limit... ah" Eli said sarcastically.
"...." Adriana closed her eyes to calm herself.
[Da-]
"No, No, please don't say anything now, Li-Lily" Eli hastily interrupted his wife's mental message and continued,
"....I don't want to hurt you with words. Please understand; let me calm down a bit".
Biting her lips the golden-haired woman nodded her head.
A tense atmosphere surrounded everyone.
"B-Brother...." Mia felt awkward and decided to leave, knowing that the golden-haired woman was his wife.
"Hmmm?" Eli glanced at her, patting her head.
He said, "It's fine, Little Mia.... Let me introduce you to my wife....Lilith".
"L-Lilith?" Mia's expression shifted to shock, her eyes reflecting a mixture of surprise and horror.
