‘Claire?’
No wonder she hadn’t been seen at the inauguration hall.
If this was what she was doing here, it made sense.
Having roughly grasped the situation, Adeline quietly held her breath and took a step back.
Adeline was skilled at diminishing her presence. On top of that, she didn’t possess any of the innate magic that everyone here was born with, which meant she had the advantage of not being detected by magic-sensing.
In other words, the two people inside, caught up in their heated act, had little risk of noticing her.
“I’m, I’m about to come…! Ah…!”
“You can come. Huu… I’m not done yet, though.”
Not done yet, huh.
Adeline stared at the door with a sullen expression.
She didn’t know who the man with Claire was, but there was a high chance it was one of the male leads.
Considering that this place was inside a novel, anyway.
‘Come to think of it, I think there was a high-ranking priest among the male leads…’
Having focused solely on Sien, she had excluded the other male leads from her thoughts, and now it was coming back to bite her in this way.
‘He beat me to it.’
Getting into the archive, and the male lead position, both.
Adeline clenched her fist in frustration.
Adeline was usually indifferent, but having two things snatched away at once, she couldn’t help but feel resentful.
But that was separate from not understanding the situation. If the other party was a priest, it was only natural for the female lead to become involved with him first.
Moreover, considering the nature of an R19 reverse harem novel, she would have relationships with all the male leads multiple times anyway.
It’s just that the first was this priest.
“Aah, I just— just came…!”
“I told you. Nngh, I’m not done yet.”
“……”
How much time was left until the inauguration?
Adeline turned her head and looked out the window. Naturally, her gaze landed on the large pendulum clock placed in the middle of the temple grounds.
There were ten minutes left until the inauguration began.
“Adeline, it hurts.”
The moment she checked the time, the image of Sien suffering from magic pain flashed through her mind.
‘For our young master, this is a matter of life and death.’
A determined look appeared in her dark eyes. Immediately, Adeline turned and walked toward the end of the corridor.
This should be far enough. After pausing to catch her breath, Adeline once again approached the archive, where the affair was still going on.
This time, she didn’t bother to hide her presence.
“Huh? Why is this door locked?”
Adeline changed her voice, putting strength into it, and muttered loudly enough to be heard inside.
“……”
As expected, silence immediately fell. Even though she had already heard all the moaning and flesh slapping sounds, Adeline pretended not to have heard and even fiddled with the archive doorknob.
Whether the door had been locked from the start or not, Adeline didn’t care about such things. Judging by the fact that those two were inside, it was more likely that the door had originally been open.
“L-Louis, there’s someone outside…”
“Shh.”
Shh, my ass. I can hear everything.
Adeline’s hearing was sharper than most, but even so, the sounds from inside carried unusually well.
Were they doing it right up against the door?
If so, it made sense.
Now that she looked closely, the door did seem to be moving a little…
“I think I just heard something…”
Deliberately trying to give them a hint, Adeline muttered to herself again. The atmosphere grew heavier.
Adeline stared at the door the two were pressed up against, her gaze sharp.
That’s enough, just come out now.
Adeline didn’t want to give up on the female lead, or the ledger that might be inside. Both were necessary for Sien.
That alone was more than enough reason for Adeline to interrupt the two.
‘After making it this obvious, at least the act itself should stop, right?’
However, as if to mock Adeline’s expectations, the same kind of conversation continued inside.
“Hngh…! Louis…? There’s someone outside…!”
“If you don’t want to get caught, then hold back your moans.”
These bastards.
It was clear that they intended to continue regardless of whether Adeline was outside or not.
Now, even more stifled moans began leaking out than before.
“……”
It was then that Adeline realized.
That Louis was using something like an aphrodisiac on the female lead.
The moment she realized this, Adeline’s eyes flashed with determination.
