After spending some teasing time with Scylla. Eli decided to postpone the library visit. As lunchtime neared, Eli and Scylla decided to go to the cafeteria.
Along the way, people started to gossip about him,
"Is it him?"
"See, I told you....if it's him I don't mind"
"tsk, tsk, what a slut"
"Come on, don't act like a pure maiden..hehe"
"shut the fuck up bitch"
"What you called now!"
"...urgh don't pull-l m-my h-hair, you idiot"
"chatter"
Eli who heard this didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he expected after showing off but now becoming more handsome....he would top subject of rumours.
"sigh" as he glanced at Scylla who was looking at the other women with murderous eyes.
Seeing this Eli felt like wanting to mess her so, "I guess, taking them to bed is...." suddenly he froze his own words...no, it's not that he didn't expect it but the glare that Scylla was giving now beyond his expectation.
'What the fuck happened?' That's what Eli felt...a new side she never showed, even though she tried to make some advances on him but she never showed this kind of possessiveness.
'I did....something, didn't I?' Eli suddenly went into contemplation as he tried to recall what made Scylla look precisely like Lilith when she was possessive.
'I don't think I did anything to make her like or...is this who she is really?' Eli wondered inwardly.
"..."
He glanced at the person who still looking at him with so much obsessiveness....something inside trying to wake him up but Eli shrugged off his thoughts and said while pulling her into his embrace,
"Scylla, My dear maid...I am just joking with you...Why would go for another woman when someone as beautiful as you is near me? hmm?"
Scylla frowned a little as if trying to discern whether he was lying or not; after seeing the truth Scylla nodded her head as her eyes and expression starting returned normal.
"I see....'huh?'" Now she suddenly realized she was in his embrace in public as the people looked at them and giggled.
"Y-Y-You...we a-are i-in public, b-bastard...hmm...lett mee ggooo!"
Feeling embarrassed Scylla's face turned red as she tried to push Eli however after seeing her shy expression.
'This is it!...this is an expression I am waiting for....' Eli thought with excitement, 'but what about earlier?....does she have a dual personality or something....nah, who cares...I accept her everything' as he even kissed her forehead.
'~chu~'
Feeling sudden warmth on her forehead....Her body trembled in happiness but if it weren't those lines,
"Tsk, if that ugly bitch, I think I could have a chance"
"Yeah, Yeah, must be his play toy or something"
"Well, I-I d-don't mind that also"
"...eeekkkk..."
Scylla mode turned sour. Eli glanced at the group of women gossiping about them while pointing. Eli then looked at Scylla who now had a gloomy face.
"You are a more naturally beautiful sexy girl than any other 'Painted face" Eli said out loud.
Hearing that the group of women's faces turned sour as anger showed on their faces.
Eli didn't care, he pulled Scylla and sat on a separate bench which was only for the Elite class in the cafeteria.
Eli glanced at Scylla who was still in sour mode even though he called her beautiful.
"I guess, others are more trustable" Eli said nonchalantly as he ordered his food.
'snap'
When she heard Eli's indifferent voice that Scylla snapped out of it and looked at Eli who was just looking at the roof with a bored expression.
"I am..."
"If you say sorry, then I am truly disappointed in you" Eli interrupted her and said indifferently but he didn't look at her, 'She is not mentally this weak before..hhmm' Eli pinched glabella and something clicked, 'There is only one person who is playing with us since the morning...' Eli felt his anger rise as thought about that possibility, however, 'not now' as he focused on the person in front of him.
"..."
Scylla bit her lips as her eyes turned teary, she was about to say something when,
"You aren't a weak girl, Scylla..." Eli suddenly said as he turned to look at her teary eyes and continued,
"I do not know what happened before our paths crossed, I hope you will tell me in the future and I appreciated that every person does have their own secrets....but from the point I saw you, I know you are a strong girl, just lost a will to move forward...that's all.
If you are truly worried about strangers' words...then please do me a final fav..." Before Eli could finish Scylla hugged him tightly as if he would leave her if he say those words.
"I-I am sorry, okay. I-I am an idiot to think like that...I won-won't ever do that again, I won't let you see that idiotic face of mine again...
Please, don't say any more....I rather die than l-leave you....please" Scylla pleaded to him not to say those words ever again from his mouth.
Eli looked at her few seconds, even though he felt her tight hug might break his few bones but he didn't hear what he wanted...no, needed to hear so,
"That's not the answer I need" Eli said indifferently as he tried to push but he did gently.
"Huh?" Scylla was horrified as this was the first time Eli tried to push her. It was always her to push but now.....her mind clouded with fear as she unconsciously used her current full strength on hug.
She tried to come up with the answer he wants, if it was a normal situation she might have said it faster and accurately she wasn't that dumb but now as her mind was in chaos, it takes a few more minutes to come up with an answer.
He wasn't doing it seriously, he just wants to her realize that he would never leave her no matter what others say.
'I think...rrrhh...I should visit the healing department after lunch' Eli thought as he felt his ribs were starting to crack while her hug gradually got tighter.
"huh, I will make them regret saying those words...I will trample their 'pride'" Scylla said seriously as she focused her teary eyes on Eli.
"..."
Eli looked at her few seconds, 'I guess, I broke the first wall then' and a small smile appeared on his face as pulled her close and said,
"Yes, that's who you are....you don't care whether they are Queen or not, You will never let them trample on you" as he remembered the time when Scylla practically make Adriana angry whenever she was bored and he always wondered how she doing that...she always played with a fire that's why when she showed a weak side...he didn't like it....no, he like it if she showed to him alone but she showed it publicly and that...he didn't like it.
"Your fragile side is only for me to know..." Eli said possessively as his other side woke up suddenly, that only showed up for Lilith before.
"...'gulp'...Y-y-yess..." Seeing this Scylla felt something tingling in her lower body as she unconsciously gulped and put her right hand on his face.
"..."
Eli didn't say anything. Scylla eyes lingered a few seconds on her hand before returning to Eli's obsessive eyes.
They slowly drew their face close to each other....however,
'cough, cough'
Someone coughed and they snapped out of their world.
"Huh?"
Scylla suddenly moved away from Eli and her face totally red as she hide her face in embarrassment.
"..."
Eli just smiled at her and was happy to see her reaction and happy that others were annoyed by him because he knew that they were in public...but it was normal here after spending so much time on Nex.
Kissing their partner was normal that's why he showed affection otherwise he would lock...ahem..secretly took her secluded space as he did it initially with Lilith.
Most of the people in the Cafeteria have been glancing at Eli's and Scylla's intimate moment as they blushed thinking, 'The beauty and the beast, Reverse'.
It's not like he became an exhibitionist or anything....it's just he wanted to show the world that he also has a beautiful woman that no one has...yes, that's right. Just like how he felt first arriving in Nex, he wanted others to envy, jealous of him....he was just a petty person in the end.
"Are you listening?"
Eli snapped out of his reverie as he looked at the group of people wearing white rope.
"Yes" Eli said nonchalantly and, 'Oh, come on, now they were pissed....I was also pissed but I never interfered with their intimate moment' Eli was amused by their antics.
"You are the person 'Asher Eli' who defiled the saintess of our nation..?" a stern voice echoed throughout the cafeteria with a little hint of...doubt.
'.....hmmmm....what?' Eli who was thinking of bragging about some love quotes suddenly lost his words.
Though everything seems lost in....time.
'Tic...Tic...Tic'
