“Fuzzball, where did you run off to? I’ve been looking for you for ages…”

The voice stopped abruptly.

Felyn found the voice somewhat familiar. He turned toward it and saw a young girl.

A completely naked girl stood before him, the moonlight serving as her backdrop.

Her long, dark purple hair dripped with water. Perhaps due to some magical effect, her hair became fluffy and dry within seconds.

The girl had an excellent figure, her legs slightly turned inward, revealing dark red magical patterns on her calves.

Her chest was boldly exposed to Felyn, its shape almost too perfect.

The magical patterns on her legs extended up to her navel, resembling trendy stockings.

Water droplets still clung to her eyelashes, but her brown pupils had shrunk to pinpoints.

The droplets on her body reflected Felyn’s slightly surprised face.

“You’re spying on me while I bathe.”

Eitani’s lips didn’t twitch, nor did she panic—there was only a chilling calmness in her voice.

Felyn could see a faint blue line appear above her head.

And a massive, glowing orb was rapidly moving along that line from a distance, heading straight toward her.

This was unmistakably the prelude to casting high-level magic!

And it seemed she had no intention of talking it out!

“You stole my underwear, and now you’re spying on me bathing. You’ve seen me completely. Boy, Silver Demon, no matter what, I won’t let you go today.”

Eitani’s voice carried little emotion, as if she were looking at a dead man.

Felyn’s mind was in disarray.

He mentally reviewed the sequence of events: he had been chasing a fire fluff ball, which led him here, only to stumble upon a bathing beast girl.

And this beast girl—her voice, appearance, and her mention of stolen underwear—confirmed she was the high-level magical beast he’d encountered in the dungeon bedroom last time.

What a small world…

Felyn knew full well that saying, “I didn’t see anything, it wasn’t on purpose,” would do no good.

His previous encounter with this beast girl was brief, but their conversation had given him some insight into her personality.

She was duplicitous, with a touch of tsundere pride.

This personality type was common among the pampered noble ladies he’d served as clients, giving him plenty of experience to draw from.

He had to try something.

Felyn took two steps forward, meeting Eitani’s gaze.

His expression remained unchanged—no lust, no excitement, just calm.

So calm it was as if he weren’t looking at a beautiful naked girl but at a piece of art.

“You have a great figure,” Felyn said, stopping a few steps away from her and raising his hands to show he meant no harm.

“Don’t come near me! What are you trying to do?”

“Why are you so worked up?” Felyn countered, putting on a puzzled expression.

“What do you mean by that?! You’ve seen my entire body, and you expect me to act like nothing happened? Or… or do you think I’m some kind of… of… loose woman who throws herself at any man?”

Eitani covered her chest with one hand and pointed at Felyn with the other. Her lips revealed two small fangs, betraying her shame and anger.

“I just find it odd. You’re a magical beast, right?” Felyn pointed at the horns on her head. “I’m human. We’re technically different species. Why would you feel ashamed?”

“Why… shouldn’t I feel ashamed?” Eitani’s voice rose slightly, and the glowing orb above her head moved closer.

“Of course not. Look, none of the magical beasts here wear clothes. Do humans have to cover their eyes out of respect when we enter a dungeon?”

“B-but I’m different from them!”

“To me, it’s all the same. And your body is beautiful, isn’t it?” Felyn tested her psychological defenses, distracting her before launching his offensive.

“Huh? W-what? My body… is it good-looking?” Eitani was caught off guard by Felyn’s sudden compliment. It was the first time a human had praised her.

“Yeah, your face is beautiful, your figure is great, and unlike humans, there’s no sagging. Honestly, I think it’s even better than a human’s body.”

“Hmph, w-who cares?” Eitani turned to the side, but despite her words, the faint smile tugging at her lips betrayed her true feelings.

“Even if you praise me like that, I-I’m not going to be happy about it.”

Felyn sighed inwardly. This girl’s personality was such a hassle.

Whatever, it’s not like I’ll see her again. Just placate her and move on.

“In the human world, as a guy, I’d say I have some authority on this.”

“Hmph, I don’t need your opinion. You probably say this to every girl—stuff like, ‘You’re the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen,’ or ‘There are stars in your eyes.’”

“Wait, where did you hear those lines?” Felyn suddenly felt they sounded familiar.

“The Princess and the Brave’s Great Adventure. Doesn’t the hero say stuff like that all the time?”

Did the hero in that book really say those things?

Who even is this hero? The Stick Hero or something?!

“You’re mistaken,” Felyn said, rubbing his forehead and taking two steps closer to Eitani. “I’m a virgin, so everything I say is sincere.”

“Don’t lie! What does being a virgin have to do with anything?”

“Do you understand a virgin’s fantasy?! The girls in our minds are absolutely perfect, a white moonlight, a girl so ideal she couldn’t possibly exist in this cruel reality! For a virgin like me to acknowledge you means you’re that impossible, perfect girl! And you’re still not satisfied?!”

Caught off guard by Felyn’s sudden intensity, Eitani stepped back, her lips parted, too stunned to close them.

Her breathing quickened, one hand clutching her chest as her heartbeat raced.

She didn’t know what was happening to her. Hearing this boy declare with such conviction that she was “the impossible, perfect girl” made it hard to breathe.

Eitani was fascinated by human society, but clearly, she had no human friends and had barely spoken to humans.

She didn’t know if her appearance was considered attractive by human standards.

And Felyn’s words were exactly the answer she’d always wanted.

This was a classic case of a shy virgin boy meeting a pure, innocent girl.

Seeing Eitani’s expression soften, Felyn knew his approach had worked.

As expected, with a personality this tricky, being direct was the best strategy.

Instead of tiptoeing around her arrogance, it was better to take control and back her into a corner.

“I was just chasing a fuzzball. I didn’t know you were here and had no intention of spying.”

Felyn held out the fuzzball with both hands, showing Eitani he was telling the truth.

First, calm her emotions. Once she’s relaxed, then reason with her—she’ll be more receptive that way.

Relying on his extensive real-world experience, Felyn navigated this crisis.

That is, if he hadn’t overlooked one detail.

If he hadn’t forgotten he was still holding Eitani’s yellow, cute lace underwear.

By the time Felyn sensed something was wrong, it was too late. He saw Eitani’s face darken, her gaze locked onto his hands.

Their eyes met on the underwear, and the world fell silent for a moment.

“If I said I’m not interested in a beast girl’s underwear, would you believe me?”

“What do you think?”

Eitani’s hand reached for Felyn’s shoulder, pulling him close.

Felyn felt her perfect curves cushion the impact.

“You stole my underwear twice now. Do you still have any excuses? To think I almost believed you! You’d better start preparing your last words!”

Just as Felyn was scrambling for a way to explain, a shout came from behind.

“Felyn! Did you catch it? You ran so fast, I couldn’t keep up… Aaaaah!”

In Zervanie’s eyes, she saw a naked girl tightly holding Felyn.

Their chests were pressed together!

Oh no, Felyn’s is about to get devoured!
