Chapter 61

The impact of this scene was quite significant, and suddenly, Ifia felt her nose itching as if her heart did. When the warmth hit, she realized she had embarrassingly started to nosebleed.

Quickly raising her hand to cover the bleeding nose, the bright red blood dripped through her fingers.

Ifia was dumbfounded.

There was only one thought in her mind now… Listen to her explanation!

She was just shocked by the impact of the beauty, not thinking anything weird.

"Ifia, are you okay?"

Not only was Ifia shocked by her own nosebleed, but Amelia also did not expect such a development. She immediately got up from the table, swiftly picked up a handkerchief placed on the side, and helped Ifia wipe away the fresh blood.

However, with Amelia getting closer, Ifia couldn't dare to look at the surging waves.

A vast expanse of white waves swayed.

Suddenly, the nosebleed became even more severe.

Ifia felt like she was bleeding to death.

However, when Ifia's nosebleed showed no signs of stopping, she didn't know what Amelia did, but the gushing nosebleed suddenly stopped.

After a simple wash with water, all the bloodstains were gone.

Facing Amelia's worried gaze, Ifia smiled apologetically and said, "Amelia, I'm fine, let's continue!"

Amelia had demonstrated it herself, and Ifia had to keep up with the progress.

Never mind the nosebleed, let's continue even if it involves surgery!

"Okay, but don't force yourself, alright?"

Upon hearing Ifia say she was fine, Amelia nodded and reminded her not to overexert herself.

Later, as Ifia imitated the hands-bound posture, resembling a sacrificial offering, Amelia's lips gently curved. Behind Ifia's unawareness, the demon tail quietly emerged again, swaying with pleasure.

...

"Ifia, why have you been daydreaming so much these past few days? What are you thinking about?"

In the classroom, since the theology professor had to leave, this class turned into self-study, and without a teacher's supervision, the classroom immediately became a joyful place for free activities. Some students who couldn't sit still left their seats, enjoying the thrill of breaking the rules.

As Ifia sat in her seat obviously absent-minded and frequently daydreaming, her desk mate, Lucy, immediately questioned her with confusion. However, before Ifia could snap out of it, Jessica, who purposely moved her chair closer, spoke first.

"Tsk tsk, are you enchanted by Miss Barlen's excellence? I understand that feeling."

While speaking, Jessica also showed an envious expression on her face, almost shouting 'take me with you.'

But, she knew it was impossible.

Oh, Miss Barlen's invitation was only given to Ifia, and no one else could get close.

While Jessica and Lucy were talking, Ifia finally came back to her senses. Facing the concerned looks of her friends, she just smiled and shook her head to assure them that everything was fine.

Creating a painting cannot be completed in a single day.

So, these past few days, as soon as school was over, she went to the art studio. Just yesterday, the painting was finally completed.

Regarding Amelia's omnipotence, Ifia witnessed it firsthand at this moment.

When she stood in front of the painting, she could appreciate it up close.

Perfect composition, delicate strokes.

It felt as if the realness that trapped her in the painting, with skulls and faintly visible demonic horns in the background, combined with a magical color distinct from reality, made the artwork unforgettable with just one glance.

Due to the pose and a few additional strokes from Amelia, the exposed parts in the painting seemed to be covered with a light veil, appearing as if she wore a modest and conservative dress, not revealing anything at all.

However, the rosy cheeks and the bewildered eyes gave off an undeniable sensation of allure.

To this, Amelia explained that the title of the artwork is "Dream of a Girl."

The girl in the painting is immersed in the fantastical world of her dreams. Suddenly waking up, she is still lingering in the dream and is bewildered, unable to distinguish between dream and reality.

While it sounded poetic, Ifia felt more and more uneasy as she looked at it.

The painting was not large in size, but perhaps due to preconceived notions, she always felt it exuded a strong sensual aura.

Fortunately, Amelia clarified from the beginning that she had no intention of participating in internal art club activities, choosing to take the painting back to her residence for safekeeping.

Otherwise, if others saw it, she would truly be socially dead!

However, even though the first modeling session had ended, Ifia couldn't immediately recover.

She kept thinking about Amelia from time to time.

She's really beautiful!

[System, Amelia is like an arsonist of hearts. Why is she so attractive!]

Ifia pretended to listen attentively to her two friends' conversation while secretly calling groundhogs in her mind to the system.

She felt proud of being able to make friends with such charming individuals!

The system, observing Ifia's seemingly worthless appearance, didn't know what to say. Although Ifia's growing favorability toward the Villainess made it easier to complete subsequent tasks, the system couldn't help but feel frustrated whenever Ifia treated the hungry wolf as a lamb.

[Please complete the new task as soon as possible to receive a random major character plot fragment x1.]

[If you can obtain the plot fragment of the Villainess, you can see what happens to her in the original plot!]

[Host, aren't you curious about what happens to the Villainess in the original story, and how she turns into the antagonist?]

As Ifia sighed in her heart, she heard the system once again trying to persuade her.

Although the system's enticing bait triggered her curiosity, she chose to flatly refuse. Unethical actions like exposing someone's scars… whoever wants to do it can do it, but she won't!

This time, Ifia unilaterally closed the chat with the system. Her thoughts returned to reality, and within a few minutes, she noticed several vaguely familiar classmates had appeared next to her desk.

???

What's going on?

Ifia turned her head in confusion to look at Lucy and Jessica. Both of them wore a serious and focused expression. Just as she was perplexed, with one of the students speaking up, she immediately got her answer.

"Do you guys know about the missing cases of commoner women in Dalwa City? There's a new development that's shocking!"

So, it was the gossip chat group during self-study!

She loved it!

In an instant, Ifia was like a ferret running amok in a melon patch, eagerly searching for the sweetest melon.

"Quick, tell me, don't keep us in suspense!"

"The initial missing person in the Dalwa City case was one of the mistresses favored by nobles. Suddenly, she disappeared mysteriously. After the nobles pressured the Imperial City Police Station, they finally sent people to investigate… However, the shock came when they started investigating."

"The number of missing young commoner women in Dalwa City has reached a staggering fifteen, all disappearing suddenly without leaving any clues or traces, as if they vanished into thin air."

"Due to the perceived severity of the missing cases, the police station couldn't ignore them anymore and formed a special task force to investigate."

"As a result, during the investigation, they made an astonishing discovery!"
