Davey found the light hidden within Emilia very familiar, but he just couldnt put his finger on it. He was sure that he had seen something like this before. He couldnt help but wonder about why it felt so familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time. Feeling curious and greedy for knowledge, Davey used Perserques Abyss Authority.

Just then, a blinding flash of light devoured him.

Let Let go of me!!!

Emilia had a small physique. No matter how hard she struggled, she could not escape from Davey's grip. She was completely helpless.

Davey always trained and strengthened most of his body, so this trivial struggle was nothing he couldnt handle. Based on instincts alone, he could already stop the girls futile struggles.

U-Ugh Yu Yuria! This This rude man! Emilia shouted at Yuria for help.

However, Emilia could not see Yurias expression. Yuria was obstructed by Davey entirely.

Fufu Yuria actually had a vicious yet delighted smile on her face.

Davey saw Yurias expression and had goosebumps. How could a peaceful and nature-loving elf have that expression on their face? He could not help but chuckle when he realized that Yuria was willing to show him a smile that she had kept hidden from the other elves.

Done.

Haaa! Emilia glared at Davey and immediately took three or four steps back the moment he let go of her. With a vigilant look on her face, she shouted, How rude!!! I always knew that humans are reckless and crass! But I never expected them to act so brutally just more than 300 years later!

As if deaf to Emilias outburst, Davey simply said, Alright, little girl.

Dont Dont call me a little girl! Im the oldest among the elves!

Then, should I refer to you as an old lady?

Eeeeek!!!

One look at you and I can tell that your height is around 150 centimeters? Thats still shorter than a grown adult? Davey mocked.

Emilia gritted her teeth and bowed her head.

Phew Yuria, Id like you to give us some privacy to chat alone, Davey said.

Yuria looked at Davey pensively. She was trying to grasp his intentions before nodding. She said, Ill ask the guards to leave too. Anyway, you are here, Mr. Benefactor, so there wont be any trouble.

Right Go, quick.

Miss Emilia, Im afraid well have to postpone our tea time. Ill definitely make sure to serve you some tea later.

Emilia continued glaring at Davey. She found it unusual that an elf was willing to stand back and obediently listen to a humans instructions.

The moment Yuria left, Davey crouched down. He gripped the edge of the table as he took a labored breath. He murmured, Ugh I really did not expect something like this.

He bit his lips to regain some clarity before shouting, A bomb!

Davey?

Bring the Bomb Squad in!

Rinne is bringing them in at an ultra fast speed! Rinne evaluates her precise job very highly!

Rinne moved in a flash and immediately subdued Emilia. She quickly gathered the particles in her hand together until they formed a very familiar tool, which she placed on the elfs neck. The tool was none other than the symbol of all technicians, their very own partners, the nipper. Rinne had dug into Daveys memory and had recreated the nipper for herself.

Thud!!!

At the same time, two cubes floated from the pockets of Rinnes huge coat. The cubes then transformed into the golems Tanker and Sniper.

Tanker immediately took out its shield and slammed it down to protect Davey while Sniper pointed its huge gun at Emilias head with a dangerous glint in its eyes. Davey was sure that any suspicious movement would have Sniper piercing a bullet straight through the elfs head.

K-K-Kyaaaaack! What the hell are those?!

Emilia struggled fiercely after realizing that she had been subdued so easily and quickly by Rinne and the two golems. However, she was helpless against Rinnes overwhelming strength.

Davey, what kind of bomb are we dealing with?

Haaaa This is driving me nuts! Davey furrowed his brows. He then took a deep breath.

This was the reason why everyone should be careful with everything that they did. Davey had been too complacent earlier. After all, when one looked at the abyss for long enough, the abyss would start to stare back at them.

Davey had looked at Emilia using Perserques power, and whatever that was hidden inside the elf did open its eyes to stare right back.

With one hand over his eyes, Davey took a slow deep breath. He activated his mana and increased his blood circulation. Only then did he start to calm down and return to normal. Davey was regretting it. If he had expected something like this, then he wouldnt have been so defenseless and exposed earlier.

Davey, Rinne has detected an abnormal increase in her heart rate. Rinne is on standby. Rinne can slash her artery at any moment.

Stop, Davey said. His breathing was still labored as he stumbled back on his feet.

Rinne clicked her tongue. She bound Emilia more tightly than before.

Kyaaack! It It hurts! Emilia cried out desperately.

Charm Davey mumbled with a frown. He slowly lowered the hand that was covering his eyes.

Rinne tilted her head in confusion. Charm? Requesting for more information.

Not offering Rinne an answer, Davey grabbed Emilia by the collar and snapped, Who are you? What the hell is wrong with you? Do you even have a conscience?

What What are you talking about? Kyaaaack! It It hurts! Please Please let me go! Emilia cried out. She looked like she was truly in pain.

Davey

Hidden within her is an ability to charm and seduce others. Since I looked at the strange ability directly, I was experiencing very strong effects.

Fortunately, Emilia looked too young to be considered an adult. This definitely helped Davey to keep his composure.

Youve been hiding something so dangerous, huh? What? Planning to take advantage of someone?

Any power related to the manipulation of ones emotions could only be amplified to a certain degree. However, Emilia had Charm, which could be said to be on par with demons and succubi. In fact, it was safe to say that her Charm was dozens of times stronger than the demons power.

Do you even have a conscience?

S-Sob

You wanted to charm someone with your body? Tell me, who are you trying to take advantage of?

Wh What did you say?! Emilia shouted with a reddened face. She realized exactly what Davey was saying. She yelled, Do you think I chose to have this body? I I also want to grow up! But my body just wont mature! And what the hell is this charm that youre talking about, huh?!

The stress had already gotten to Emilia, who was starting to speak to Davey informally.

Davey, how does Charm work?

Her eyes.

Shall I pull out her eyes?

Hiiiiik!

Davey shook his head as he ignored the screaming Emilia.

These damn scammers eyes! I should pull them out, Rinne said threateningly. She raised her nipper up, preparing to poke Emilia in the eyes.

Emilia struggled fiercely and shouted, Kyaaaaack!!! Stop that! Dont do that!!!

Extraction will not be precise if theres resistance. Rinne warns you to stay put. Otherwise, it will hurt. Rinne highly appreciates this.

I I dont want to! What did I even do wrong?!!! I dont want to! Tell her to stop!!!

Rinne still had her nippers raised high up

Stop.

Order received.

Just as Daveys order rang out, the nipper in Rinnes hands stopped before it could stab Emilias eyes.

Sob Sob, sob, sob Emilia was terrified. She had her eyes shut while sobbing loudly.

Davey, however, failed to realize something.

Ah Im really going crazy.

The trigger to Emilias Charm was actuallyher tears.

Davey reacted in an instant. He stood up, wiped Emilias tears, and took a deep breath. He muttered, Wow, this

Emilia frowned at Davey, whose face expressed his curiosity in her research value.

In the end, Davey activated his mana.

[8th Circle.]

[Mind Evolution.]

Flinch!!!

Emilia, who was crying on Davey, flinched from the magic. It had a slight effect on her.

Davey looked at the stiff Emilia. He was now completely wary of the Charm that Emilia had hidden. What if it erupted suddenly? After some thought, he gave a firm and determined order.

Rinne, knock her out.

Roger.

Thwack!!!

Rinnes movement was swift. After knocking Emilia out by hitting the back of her head, Rinne stood up and placed her hands on her waist. She said proudly, Rinnes knock-out skills are highly evaluated. Power control is perfect!

Nipper

Nipper?

Quick!

Rinne immediately threw the nipper to Davey, who expressed a sense of urgency in his voice.

Stab!!!

The moment the nipper reached Davey, a loud and terrifying sound rang out.

***

Goodness, Mr. Benefactor? Why are you already Oh my! Whats with that injury?!

Yuria was surprised by Daveys early return. She was also very shocked to see Davey breathing heavily with such a ragged appearance. She frowned.

Its nothing. I got hit because I was too complacent.

Dont tell me You did not scare Miss Emilia, right?

Such a misunderstanding was inevitable. Daveys breathing was labored and his clothes were torn, as if he had been injured by something sharp. It looked like he got injured from some sort of nail.

In truth, Davey had deliberately hurt himself to protect the others. Moments ago, he had been subjected to the overwhelming Charm hidden in Emilia, and that had been caused by his own stupidity.

That shouldnt be the case. Emilia is the oldest among the elves, and her permanent appearance is that of a youngling. She doesnt look like she has reached adulthood

Im tired, so its better for you to stop joking around, Davey said gravely.

Yuria immediately became serious. She asked, What in the world happened?

Did you know that Emilia has the power of Charm?

Yuria tilted her head in confusion. Charm?

Thats right.

No. I have never heard anything from my mother.

Really? Thats weird

Ah. I think theres a power similar to that.

A power similar to Charm?

Yuria smiled broadly at Daveys question. She explained, Yes. From what I heard, Miss Emilia always has animals following her around. Its actually pretty unusual, but Ive never seen it myself. Some of the older people from my mothers and grandmothers generations did see Miss Emilia in those situations back then.

Aside from them?

I havent heard from anyone else. If she truly has the power of Charm, the adults from back then would have known already.

Davey fell silent.

Emilia was peculiar, capable of attracting animals with some kind of pheromone. Of course, for animals with less intelligence and awareness than elves, it was understandable for them to become drunk and addicted to Emilias weak flow of Charm.

However

Its too heavy.

Davey had looked straight into the source of Emilias Charm, which had resulted in him suffering from its huge effects. He thought it was just too much. To Davey, Emilias level of Charm was comparable to those of dream demons, the demon succubi.

The high-ranking succubi with the strongest Charm was naturally the Succubus Queen. She had the power to make any opponent feel ecstasy at best or have them become her servants at worst.

It was extremely rare for another existence to be born with such a power, but it was still possible. There were, in fact, some beings who were born with a certain level of Charm. It would seem that Emilia was a perfect example. However, Davey still could not explain why Emilia had a ridiculous amount of Charm hiding within her.

Either way, Davey would gradually build immunity from having endured it once. For any ordinary person to have seen Emilias tears, however, they would have lost all sense of reason regardless of their gender and sexuality.

Davey left Yurias house after learning whatever she knew about Emilia. Then, he returned to where Emilia had remained unconscious.

Regardless of that childs age, she still has the appearance of a minor elf. Stop thinking of anything inappropriate about her, Davey.

Davey frowned. What? What bullshit are you saying again?

This is not bullshit. Im just saying that you shouldnt have been swayed by the Charm of an immature body.

Davey chuckled monotonously. Me? Fascinated by an elf that looked like a small bean?

Then, am I wrong? If so, tell me why you did that? Why cant you maintain your composure? Why do you have to hurt yourself to calm down?

You.

Eh?

Perserques eyes widened at Daveys declaration.

Its because of you, you damn rascal!

Ah?

Including Emilia, there were a total of three female figures who were with Davey right now.

Forget about the small bean elf, who wouldnt be able to arouse any kind of desire from Davey. As for Rinne, she was a golem. Davey did not lack that much discipline to suddenly want a taste of her even though she looked like an adult.

Simply put, if Davey ever resorted to having a physical relationship, he still wouldnt embrace someone who he had no interest in.

However, Perserque was different.

Im begging you to shut up. If you dont want to be in trouble, please stop teasing me and forget about it.

Davey had no choice but to control his heart and mind as much as he could. He waited until he calmed down.
