Chapter 68: Overnight
Under the table, Eikou could clearly feel that someone sitting across from him was teasing him with their foot.
Besides Morgan, could there be someone else here targeting his chastity?!
"…"
Eikou carefully glanced at the people sitting opposite him.
Mordred, Melusine, and Baobhan Sith.
First, eliminate Mordred — this is absolutely not the kind of thing a "Brother" like her would do.
As for Baobhan Sith… she never had any goodwill toward him, and even if she were teasing, it wouldn't go this far. Moreover, her most respected mother was sitting right here, so she could also be ruled out.
But Melusine was even less likely. She was bent over, earnestly studying her textbook, and hadn't looked at Eikou once since the start.
Besides, this was their first meeting — how could she do something so bold to someone of the opposite sex she'd just met?
Damn it, why is this turning into such a suspenseful situation?
"Eikou-san, are you listening to me?"
Morgan's soft body pressed tightly against his arm as she looked up, asking with those beautiful icy blue eyes.
"I-I'm listening…"
Eikou's face flushed slightly, and his voice became stammered.
At first he'd been able to stay calm, but the activity under the table had thrown him off balance.
Thinking about it now, the situation was bizarre — he was being taken advantage of by a classmate's mother, something anyone could notice if they just looked up, but everyone kept their heads down doing exercises, afraid of "Mother-sama's" authority.
That's why Morgan could so openly press up against him.
But under the table, hidden in a corner even Morgan didn't know about, lurked another master!
Isn't this the ultimate case of "immorality within immorality"? Am I some kind of strategic asset that everyone's fighting over?
Even the two people secretly wanting to "eat" him didn't seem to have noticed each other's existence.
Morgan was still pressing close to him, while that delicate foot under the table was no longer satisfied with just brushing the top of his foot — it had begun sliding up along his pant leg, nearly reaching his thigh.
So quickly, it was already up to his thigh… the next place that foot intended to touch… he didn't even dare to think about it.
The ironic part was that Morgan was right beside him, pressing close, making it inconvenient for him to just grab that foot to confirm its owner.
"Ah…"
Eikou lightly turned his elbow, pretending to accidentally drop a notebook under the table. He bent down to pick it up and quickly lifted the tablecloth.
Rustle
His eyes darted around under the table.
"!"
Damn it, that mischievous foot had already retreated!
Looking around, everyone's feet in the study group were placed neatly in position, with no hint of suspicion.
[For the next two hours, you learn nothing.]
[Beside you is Morgan, harboring ill intentions, using intimate touches to seduce you. Under the table, that mischievous foot brushes against you every so often, but each time you try to catch it, it withdraws immediately, never giving you the chance to confirm — quietly "snacking" on you in secret.]
[In such a situation, your mind is filled with distracting thoughts. You can't take in anything at all, and just wait for the study session to end.]
...
Night had completely fallen.
Two hours later, the group study finally ended. Gawain looked up and immediately noticed Eikou's flushed face.
"Sir Eikou, are you running a fever again? Why's your face so red?"
"Again?" Baobhan Sith said with obvious distaste. "You already caused us enough trouble last time. I'm not playing babysitter for you anymore."
"It's nothing, just that the room's a bit warm…" Eikou muttered.
Beside him, Morgan sat primly in her chair as if nothing had happened.
She was now the lesser concern — it was the one always hiding in the shadows who truly made Eikou both irritated and uneasy. Not being able to see them meant his mind kept running wild, getting thrown off balance, and ultimately letting the other side lead the pace, toying with him in the palm of their hand.
He glanced at everyone in the room — not a single one showed the slightest hint of guilt.
…Who the hell was it?
...
[Night falls, and a first-quarter moon quietly appears.]
[Tristan leaves first, while you stay overnight at Morgan's house.]
[You move to Gawain's room.]
[His room matches your impression of the "Knight of the Sun" — bright, airy, clean, and neatly arranged. Before long, your eyes are drawn to the gaming console neatly placed on the cabinet, along with the stored game cartridges.]
[From conversation, you learn that back in middle school, the Round Table Knights often came to his house to play games or borrow cartridges. This was because Gawain's home not only had plenty of party games but also top-notch equipment — you could play on the big TV in the living room or split-screen across his two computer monitors.]
Even though Eikou already knew Gawain was second-generation rich, seeing it in person still made him sigh in admiration: A bona fide rich kid right here beside me!
He looked at the game cartridges in the cabinet with eyes full of envy.
"It's only eight-thirty now, why don't we play something?" Eikou couldn't help but suggest.
"That's not a good idea, Sir Eikou," Gawain said seriously. "Tomorrow's the monthly exam. We really shouldn't play games."
"Don't be so uptight, honor student. As long as we don't stay up too late, it's fine. Besides, even if we don't play games, we'll just be lying in bed scrolling on our phones — it's no different."
After a whole day of group study, playing for an hour didn't seem excessive to Eikou.
"Gawain, should we play Mario Odyssey or It Takes Two?"
"How about Luigi's Mansion 3?"
"That one's a no-go. I've played it before, and honestly, it's not that good."
"Haha," the Knight of the Sun laughed heartily. "That's because you played it alone. The real fun comes when you play with two people. Come on, let me show you the proper way—"
Before he could finish, a knock came at the door.
The two boys panicked, quickly stuffing the game box under the blanket.
"Hiding it is useless," Morgan's cold voice came from outside the door. "Relax, I'm not here to confiscate your console."
Right — she still had her Fairy Eyes skill. Why hadn't she used it earlier during the study session to check under the table?!
Eikou and Gawain exchanged glances, then pulled the game box back out.
The door soon opened, and Morgan entered, followed by the other girls.
Melusine carried a thick blanket in her arms, while Baobhan Sith, in pajamas, held neatly folded sleepwear and toiletries, all of which she handed to Eikou.
"Here, these are your toiletries for tonight. And these are your pajamas… Mother picked them out herself, so you'd better cherish them — preferably never take them off for the rest of your life!"
"That's… a little too heavy-handed," Eikou said.
Morgan had also changed into pale blue sleepwear. Her usually neatly tied white hair now cascaded freely, like the Ice Queen had shed her heavy fortress. Her exterior was still cold, but now carried a softer, more vulnerable air of a young maiden.
She walked calmly into the room, eyes sweeping over everything before heading straight to the game cabinet.
"So, what game were you two planning to play?"
"We weren't going to play anything," Eikou immediately declared his will to live. "For the rest of my life, I'll never touch any games about that red-hatted plumber and his green-hatted brother ever again. Same goes for Gawain."
"But I want to play."
Morgan said calmly:
"To be precise… I want to play with you."
