"Let me touch your tail."
"Huh... what?"
Inside the mansion, on the second floor, in Susan's room.
"Mr. Silver Mask is here?"
Susan's face lit up with joy at the door.
After what happened last night, Susan had been thinking about how to thank Mr. Silver Mask.
She also wondered if Mr. Silver Mask would come today.
She didn't expect him to show up so soon.
"I... I'll go right away!"
Susan, wearing a black nightgown, hurried outside.
"Miss Susan, your clothes... your clothes!"
Seeing that Miss Susan had forgotten to change, Aima quickly reminded her.
"Huh?"
Only then did Susan realize she was still in her nightgown.
Her face flushed slightly, and she quickly turned back to her room.
In no time, Susan emerged from her room in a black dress.
Susan quickly left the mansion and headed to the pavilion in the courtyard.
"Mr. Silver Mask, is it done?"
"Not even close, it feels so good!"
"Does it really feel that good?"
"Of course, it's the happiest moment of my life."
"Ugh, I... I can't take it anymore!"
The voices from the pavilion made Susan, walking along the path, show a strange expression.
The voices belonged to Elisa and Mr. Silver Mask.
"No way, could Elisa and Mr. Silver Mask be..."
Susan's face turned slightly red, and she slowed her pace.
She bent over and hid behind a flowerbed.
Then she poked her head out to peek at the pavilion.
In the pavilion, Susan saw Elisa and Mr. Silver Mask.
Elisa was sitting in Mr. Silver Mask's lap.
Her hands were pressed against Mr. Silver Mask's chest.
Her whole body was nestled in Mr. Silver Mask's arms.
"Susan, what are you doing?"
At that moment, Mr. Silver Mask suddenly turned to look at her.
Susan froze, embarrassed, and stood up.
"Giggle, Mr. Silver Mask, it tickles!"
Elisa's playful laughter echoed from the pavilion.
This made Susan, who was approaching the pavilion, a bit curious.
As she got closer, Susan finally saw what they were doing.
It was just a matter of perspective earlier.
She thought Elisa was nestled in Mr. Silver Mask's arms.
But actually, Elisa was just sitting on Mr. Silver Mask's lap.
Her fluffy white tail was being gently stroked by Mr. Silver Mask.
"Um... Elisa, what are you doing?"
Susan asked curiously as she walked into the pavilion.
Li Meng released Elisa's tail and gave her a gentle pat on the waist.
Blushing, Elisa got up and left Li Meng's embrace.
"I'm thanking Mr. Silver Mask!"
Susan glanced at Elisa's fluffy big tail.
Then she seemed to understand and smiled softly.
Susan sat down by the stone table, looking at Mr. Silver Mask with a teasing smile.
"Mr. Silver Mask has quite a popular hobby."
In that world, everyone longed to stroke the ears of a beast-eared girl.
Susan still remembered the urge she felt the first time she saw Elisa.
After getting to know Elisa, she had indulged in that desire.
"Who wouldn't? I could die happy!"
Mr. Silver Mask's exaggerated words made Elisa blush.
She looked down at her tail.
Could her tail really be that charming?
"Mr. Silver Mask, thank you so much for last night. Without you, our fate would have been terrible."
Although they wouldn't die, they would have experienced death.
Elisa and the others just didn't know it.
The feeling of having one's head chopped off is not a pleasant one.
Susan's words made Elisa's face darken.
Her identity destined those around her to have no peaceful days.
"Haha, as a fellow countryman, I couldn't just watch you get killed, right? Those two guys won't be a threat to you anymore, but if you want a peaceful life, that's probably not possible."
Elisa turned to look at Susan beside her.
"Susan, you should leave with Mr. Silver Mask. Being around me is a place of trouble, and one day I'll drag you down."
Last night, they were lucky to be rescued by Mr. Silver Mask.
But they couldn't always rely on luck.
Although after this incident, Bard Count would strengthen the mansion's defenses.
But as Mr. Silver Mask said.
There would be no peaceful days around her.
Susan shook her head and grabbed Elisa's hand.
"Elisa, are you saying I'm just a useless person who can't even protect myself?"
"I... I didn't mean that."
Elisa quickly shook her head.
She held Susan's hand tightly.
"Susan is smart. There are many things I can't think of, but you can. Bard Count also said you're my benefactor. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have gotten Mr. Silver Mask's help. Susan, you know I didn't mean that."
Li Meng watched with interest as the two girls looked into each other's eyes, holding each other's hands tightly.
It was a beautiful scene.
Li Meng could see from Susan's eyes that she genuinely liked Elisa.
Whether it was as a bestie or something more intimate, Li Meng couldn't tell.
Li Meng didn't disturb the subtle atmosphere between the two.
"I'm not leaving, Elisa. You can't make me go."
"But... but..."
"Elisa, I know what you have to do. Let me stay by your side."
"It could... it could mean death!"
Susan smiled and shook her head.
"I'm not afraid!"
Having experienced death time and again, how could Susan fear it?
She knew she wouldn't die, which is why she chose to stay and help Elisa.
The two girls exchanged smiles, understanding each other without words.
Susan turned to Mr. Silver Mask.
"Mr. Silver Mask, are you leaving?"
Li Meng stretched lazily and stood up.
Standing at the edge of the pavilion, Li Meng looked at the flowers and trees surrounding him.
Li Meng's voice echoed in the pavilion.
"People like us have things we must do. Girl, just enjoy your new life and do what you want to do. When I need you, I'll come find you. And when you need me, I'll be there for you."
Things that must be done?
Susan pondered as she watched Mr. Silver Mask's back.
Transmigrators didn't come to this world just to experience life.
It seemed Mr. Silver Mask knew something.
However, Susan didn't plan to ask more.
She didn't know what she must do.
Right now, she just wanted to help Elisa.
"Um, Mr. Silver Mask, how old are you?"
Elisa looked at Susan with a speechless expression.
Why did Susan suddenly ask Mr. Silver Mask's age?
"Haha, back home, you'd probably call me an uncle."
Susan was about fifteen years old.
And on Earth, he was almost thirty.
Perhaps because of her young age, Susan's thoughts were still quite simple.
If it were an older transmigrator, their thoughts might be more complicated.
With great power, it's easy to become a villain.
After all, great power and freedom can easily give birth to evil.
Although he leaned towards the evil side.
He could be evil, but he could also be good.
At least when facing a young girl like Susan, he wouldn't let himself become a villain.
