Melody was very surprised by Asaki's sudden confession.

But she was, after all, the daughter of a wealthy merchant, and quickly regained her composure by blinking repeatedly, acting as if she had already seen through it all along.

"That is indeed a solution, but it's very risky... What if Luca discovers the truth later? Do you think he'll forgive you?"

"...Probably not, they might even hate me to death." Asaki smiled bitterly.

"So I'm going to teach you a new method."

Melody smiled and said:

"This method will not only not affect your relationship, but it will also prevent Luca from cheating... to be precise, even if he wants to cheat, he will be powerless to do so."

"Hey?"

Asaki's eyes widened:

"There's such a good way?"

"Of course, this method is called energy management..."

As she spoke, Melody leaned close to Asashi's ear and whispered the plan to her.

Asaki's face quickly turned red, her hands unconsciously gripping the hem of her skirt, her legs rubbing together every now and then, and she even started to stutter:

"This...this...isn't this too shameless?"

"...You two are a couple, what's the use of shame?"

Melody looked at Asaki with a strange expression:

"What you need is fun and excitement!"

"This……"

Asaki blushed even more, but after gritting her teeth and thinking for a while, she nodded:

“I understand… Please teach me what to do, Miss Melody.”

"It's very simple."

Melody's eyes narrowed as she smiled:

"Aren't you two going to share a tent tonight? Then strike while the iron is hot and use your gentleness to completely melt Luca's heart."

"Tonight... tonight?"

Asaki's heart started pounding:

"This is too much... and everyone's all around us. What if I'm too loud and they hear me... my priesthood is probably over, right?"

"How could that be? It's perfectly normal for young couples to be intimate at night. Those who are single are just envious."

Melody initially waved her hand dismissively, but seeing that Asashi was still shy, she smiled and took out a magic card, handing it to Asashi.

"This is... Lady Tia's card?"

Having seen the card several times before, Asashi was familiar with it. She held the card up to her eyes and noticed the character "静" (stillness) drawn in the center with magical runes.

"Jing...could it be..."

"Yes, it's the one you're thinking of."

Melody smiled and nodded:

"Captain Tia is a good captain who cares a lot about the private lives of her team members. This can be considered her blessing for you and Luca... As long as you put this card in your tent at night, it doesn't matter how loud it is."

"Waaah... Captain Tia is so kind."

Asaki was deeply moved, then gritted her teeth with a look of profound understanding:

"Then I can't let this blessing go to waste... Alright, I'll take Luca tonight!"

"This is the kind of courage a girl in love should have... Look, there's this too."

Melody then took out another bottle of perfume and handed it to Asaki:

"This is a perfume that can greatly enhance a woman's charm, and its effects last for about four hours. I originally used it myself, but now I'm giving it to you."

But remember, this perfume is best used when it's just you and Luca, otherwise you might be attacked by other men.

"Eek...is this the perfume?"

Asaki was so flustered that she almost threw away the perfume:

"Waaaaah... I always thought only shameless women in brothels would use it, I never thought I'd have to one day..."

"No, no, it's not that serious... This kind of thing is actually quite normal."

Melody shrugged, amused.

"Reproduction is a human instinct, so the pursuit of pleasure is naturally a given... We young people should be more progressive and open-minded, right?"

But your style is too avant-garde, I can't do it!

Asashi thought to herself, but still sincerely thanked him and carefully put away the perfume bottle, intending to use it as a secret weapon against Luca.

"And finally, this one..."

As she spoke, Melody handed Asaki another item.

It was a black lace ring, still wrapped in Nora Chamber of Commerce packaging and unopened.

"this is……?"

Asaki took it and held it up to her wrist:

"It seems a bit too thick?"

"I told you to wear it here."

Melody smiled and winked, then pointed to the absolute territory beneath Asaki's priestess robes:

"This is a gift from Valensa. She said it will increase Luca's attack speed if you wear it~~"

Chapter 114 The Female Knight's Little Actions at Night

As the night deepened, most of the people, who had been traveling all day, could no longer stay awake. After saying goodnight to each other, they went back to their tents to sleep.

With the three musketeers taking turns keeping watch and the nearby horde of dead monkeys deterring monsters, Valensa didn't think there would be any danger at night and slept soundly in the arcane carriage.

She woke up in the middle of the night. After more than 10 hours of rest and recovery, her heart, which had been severely depleted when she was fighting against the mental pressure of the big fish, was almost full, and she was in good spirits.

Thinking that it must be hard for Melody and the other two to take turns keeping watch, Valensa decided to go up the watchtower and relieve them for a while.

She peeked out from the carriage door and noticed that the atmosphere among the three musketeers seemed a bit strange, like something out of White Album 2.

Valensa quickly covered her mouth and pulled her head back to avoid the embarrassment of being discovered.

Two boys and one girl are childhood sweethearts, and the girl is avant-garde, bold, hot and beautiful...tsk tsk tsk.

With just a little thought, Valensa conjured up several scenarios in her mind.

'Why are you so skilled at this?'

'I was here first.'

'You two, stop fighting!'

As she pondered, Valensa thought of herself again and glanced at Tia.

Thankfully, I only have one childhood sweetheart, so I don't have that kind of trouble.

Although Melina grew up with me, she spoils me too much, and her relationship with Tia has always been good, so there's nothing to worry about.

"Ugh... I can't take it anymore, I really can't eat anymore... Valensa, you're so mean!"

Valensa was lost in thought when she suddenly heard Tia talking in her sleep.

No one knows what she dreamed about, but she was still sulking in her sleep, her face showing a mix of anger and arrogance. Her white-stockinged little feet were kicking wildly, and she even kicked Valensa several times.

"Hehe, did Tia dream about me? That's so nice~~"

Valensa was delighted. She quickly moved closer to Tia, slowly pulled the pillow out of Tia's arms and threw it aside, then pressed herself against it.

"Then I'll come visit you in my dreams too... I've heard that if you put your hearts together while you're asleep, you can meet in your dreams too... Let me verify whether this rumor is true."

Since she didn't have to take over the night watch herself, and there was still at least an hour until dawn, Valensa decided to go back to sleep.

Unlike Melina's motherly embrace, which provides a sense of security, lying in Tia's arms is like basking in the afternoon sun in a garden—a different kind of languid comfort, both of which are conducive to sleep.

Valensa quickly fell asleep again, so she didn't see it.

Just as she snuggled into Tia's arms and closed her eyes, Tia, who should have been fast asleep, quietly opened one of her crimson eyes, stole a glance at Valensa, and then immediately closed it again in embarrassment.

The two small white silk-clad feet, which had been somewhat restless, stopped moving and instead gently wrapped around the black silk-clad legs from both sides as if embracing, and returned to peace in the carriage at night.

. . . . .

When Valensa opened her eyes again, there was already a lot of noise outside the half-closed carriage door, which must have been the stevedores making preparations for departure.

Tia had already left the carriage, and her voice could still be faintly heard, as if she were communicating with the manager of the Food Association's caravan.

Valensa quickly sat up, first taking out a mirror to look at herself, then tidying up her messy hair and collar, before wiping her face with a damp towel, putting on her boots and jumping off the carriage.

Sure enough, she was the last to wake up; even Asashi and Luca woke up earlier than her.

only……

"puff!"

Seeing Luca's current state, Valensa couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Although Luca wasn't particularly strong, he was a healthy country boy whose physical abilities would have been comparable to those of an average soldier in Valensa's previous life.

But now?

He had very obvious dark circles under his eyes, his face was pale and his lips were white. He walked unsteadily, as if he might collapse at any moment... He was obviously exhausted last night.

In contrast, Asaki... is the complete other extreme.

She was originally just considered innocent and cute, but now her eyes have a distinct allure, and she is like a flower that has been fully nourished by rain and dew, blooming in full glory.

Even the holy light emanating from her seemed to have intensified...

No, it doesn’t seem like it!

Valensa's eyes widened suddenly. Having awakened her family's inherited power of light, her sensitivity to holy light was second only to that of a priest.

"Asahi, you've broken through?"

"Yes, thanks to Luca."

Asaki smiled and nodded, sweetly taking Luca's weak and powerless arm.

"Last night our relationship finally came to a perfect end, and my state of mind also changed. It just so happened that I broke through the bottleneck that had been holding me back for a long time."

"I may still lack a lot of experience, but in terms of the strength of my divine magic alone, I should already be on par with a full-fledged priest."

"Congratulations!"

Valensa quickly sent her blessings:

"Congratulations on your breakthrough, and congratulations on the two of you getting married."

"Thank you."

Asaki's radiant smile:

"Thank you for your blessing, and thank you and the captain for your help... The little gifts you gave me last night worked really well... didn't they, Luca... Luca?"

"Ah? Yes, yes, that's it..."

Luca, who had been in a daze, was snapped back to reality by his girlfriend's pinch and quickly thanked Valensa.

However, the emotional fluctuations that most men would have when they saw Valensa were now completely gone from his eyes.

He has completely entered a state of enlightenment.

"Haha... I'm relieved to see you two so loving."

Valensa laughed like a jovial person, and as she passed by Asaki, she deliberately whispered in a voice that Luca could hear:

"If you need any more help, feel free to come and talk to us anytime... Tia, Melody, and I are all happy to help you... Once we get to town, we can buy you some fun little gifts."

"Thank you~~"
