Chapter 291: The Confronting Pair and the Harmless Third Party

Under the night sky of Hillenbrand Town, three young Superoperator girls were running towards the torture tower, each for reasons that were similar yet different, bathed in moonlight.

Soon, inside the torture tower, the three followed Lolth’s strong scent and found the interrogation room where she was.

Since the tavern was not very far from the torture tower, even the first to arrive, Tina, did not arrive much earlier than the last, Dorothy, just a few minutes ahead.

In fact, she and Isabella could be said to have arrived almost at the same time.

After arriving first, the two girls stood in front of the gently closing door of the "Interrogation Room for the Church of Light" and suddenly felt a bit hesitant.

What if, when they opened the door, they found each other entangled with Lolth…? What should they do?

Both girls shared this worry and fear in their hearts.

Isabella felt even more awkward—she secretly hoped it would be her, yet felt shy and reluctant to admit this hope.

"How could I think like this!"

Isabella felt shy about her feelings, and her face grew even hotter.

As she looked at Tina, who was also hesitating, after nearly half a minute of silence, she finally spoke first.

"You… don’t really want to ‘protect Lolth,’ do you? You just want to take advantage of the situation, right?"

Isabella sternly scolded Tina again.

But she also understood that saying this was partly a way to distract herself from these unusual feelings.

If it were someone else, Tina would certainly explain herself, but hearing Isabella say this made Tina hold back on explaining too much.

"I admit I have thoughts about my lady Lolth, after all, she is the most perfect, cutest, most beautiful, and most alluring woman in the world," Tina said seriously, "but I have no intention to take advantage of her or be inappropriate… I just want to understand my lady Lolth’s desires and appreciate her beauty during her ‘special time’!"

Tina calmly stated her inner desires.

But Isabella did not agree.

"Even if you say it seriously, it doesn’t change the fact that your behavior is very strange—you strange little sprite filled with naughty thoughts! Show Lolthlinda some respect!"

She said this, but it did not sway Tina at all.

Tina looked at Isabella and felt a bit angry.

"You foolish knight, sneaky human who says one thing and means another… So why are you here again? To be honest, you want to see this too! Maybe you are just trying to take advantage of the situation… It’s not like you haven’t done that before!"

The Moon Elf’s voice carried some bitterness, clearly filled with frustration.

"Huh? I came here to stop you," Isabella said, feeling a little guilty but still being stubborn, "I certainly did not mean to sneak a peek at Lolth’s thoughts—whether about her heart or her body!"

As Isabella said this, Tina looked at her and let out a cold laugh.

"Alright then—I’ll stop looking. How about we go back to our own places?"

She crossed her arms and looked at Isabella, turning the tables on her.

After a brief moment of surprise, Isabella looked at Tina with a somewhat unhappy expression.

After being pushed into a disadvantageous position by Tina, Isabella became calm instead.

The bloodline from the Schwarzwald family made her enter this state whenever she faced tough battles and hardships—this is also the origin of the nickname "Ryman Ice."

However, Grand Duke Schwarzwald and the ancestors could never have imagined that this bloodline’s talent would one day be used by their daughter in a rivalry with an elf over a succubus.

But anyway, Isabella began to fight back.

"Oh—really?" Isabella’s gaze was icy, as if she were facing a strong enemy on the battlefield. "Didn’t you say you were worried about Lolthlinda? Didn’t you say you wanted to see Lolthlinda? Is your feeling and longing for her really something you can just give up to spite me? That’s ridiculous…"

She calmly organized her words, striking at Tina’s weakness.

This is a perfectly legitimate strategy!

If it were Tina from six months ago, she would have been overwhelmed by this pressure and felt lost.

But now, Tina has already transformed completely.

"The feelings of worry and longing I have are genuine, but I also don’t want to let you take advantage; those feelings are real too. Just like you don’t trust me in this matter, I don’t trust you either… This is the kind of relationship we have! So, I would definitely be willing to give up this temporary opportunity to ‘compete’ with you!"

Tina candidly admitted all of this again, looking at Isabella with a strategic gaze, her head held high in pride.

The two of them fell into a tense standoff once again.

If not wanting to open the door before was due to worry, now it had turned into mutual restraint.

Just as their confrontation was escalating, Dorothy arrived at the end of the hallway.

"Huff—huff—"

She looked at Tina and Isabella, who were staring at each other without making a move to open the door, paused for a moment, and walked to the door.

"I can feel Teacher Lolth’s presence inside… What are you two doing standing by the door? Can’t you open it?"

Without waiting for the two to reply, Dorothy placed her hand on the doorknob and turned it gently.

Sounds of water, a sweet scent, and pink smoke suddenly slipped out through the crack of the door.

It instantly made the standoff between Isabella and Tina pointless.

"It’s nothing… Just waiting for the right moment…"

"Yes, we don’t want to disturb Teacher Lolth."

The two of them became aware and quickly smoothed things over.

"I see, but the landlady said it should be fine, so it must not be a big deal," Dorothy said, gently pushing the door open and lowering her voice, "but we must be careful not to disturb Teacher Lolth… If she finds out we saw her ‘dream,’ it would be very embarrassing when she wakes up…"

Dorothy’s point was agreed upon by Tina and Isabella.

"We understand… But Dorothy, how did you come here too?"

When Dorothy tiptoed and got ready to go in, Isabella suddenly seemed to remember something and asked.

"Since both of you said that, I must be worried about Teacher Lolth too," Dorothy said, her face slightly blushing, "And I’m not a little kid anymore… But above all, it’s most important to make sure Teacher Lolth is okay…"

Although her tone was a bit flustered, Tina and Isabella did not doubt Dorothy’s words; they just nodded and followed the little girl into the room, which was completely covered by dreams!
