My Goddess is Good at Pretending-Chapter 625: Subservient to the Heart

The sun slowly set on the western horizon, casting a dazzling twilight glow over the ocean. Elysia and her group gathered around Phylum Island’s west coast to hold an outdoor barbeque party.

Whether humans or monsters, everyone enjoyed this joyful moment in a friendly harmony. Since it was a special event, Ophelia’s high-level subordinates tightly guarded the vicinity to ensure their lady boss and the honorable guests wouldn’t be disturbed, especially by the uninvited outsiders.

Yet, Linda sat alone on this joyful occasion, watching the merrymaking of the girls at the party. They caught a lot of fish and the outdoor kitchen became so lively as they had to prepare their barbeque and other dishes. Young Master El became the main lead with many beauties in his surroundings...

She pondered about what Lady Rhea previously said.

"El’s actions are often accompanied by implied meaning. Since he showed you about it, he probably wanted to see your reaction to something. Do you understand what he is trying to discover?"

Those words echoed in Linda’s mind as she still struggled to comprehend what Young Master El wished to imply. He suddenly showed his shapeshift ability and even transformed into her cousin brother...

"Does he want to confirm my relationship with my late brother? I should ask the meaning of his action at that time, but alas..." Linda ruffled her hair. She didn’t understand at all, but she thought that her young master’s intention couldn’t be bad.

"Miss Linda, is it?" Jophiel came from behind and sat beside Linda, bringing two bowls of shaved ice for herself and giving one to Linda. "Here’s for you."

"Ah, thanks." Linda received the shaved ice, but her gaze was fixed on this charming pink-haired girl. She once again reminded herself that the girls around Young Master El were peerless rare beauties.

When compared to herself, she was just a lucky girl who managed to gain his favor. She became as beautiful and talented as her current self was all thanks to his assistance. If not for him, she might still be in the mud and might have died in that secluded land, considering that last month, more than half of her home country had sunk and been taken over by sea monsters.

"May I know about your plans for the future, Miss Linda? What do you want to do?" Jophiel tried to ensure something as she could sense Linda trying to put a distance all of a sudden.

"Thank you for asking, but I don’t dare to plan far into the future. As for now, I should try my best in my studies and then join the Minamoto International Group after graduation. After that, Young Master El said that he had everything planned for me." Linda didn’t dare to take any more risks in her fate as she was indebted a lot to her young master.

As her savior, she would repay him as best as she could, but deep down, she also wished to enter his life. However, just being around those peerless beauties, her young master’s harem, already put a huge pressure on her mental state.

"I don’t know about you, but whatever you decide, you need to be proactive about it. If you remain passive and expect something from others, you will gain nothing but disappointment. The opportunity doesn’t come by itself. Sometimes, you need to create it by yourself. Even I need to put extra effort for my beloved master’s attention." Jophiel gave a little advice with a coquettish smile. She secretly also amplified Linda’s fluttering desires.

"!!!" Linda widened her eyes. She wasn’t the only one in a dilemma, and those girls apparently had their own traits to gain Young Master El’s attention.

Just like the Emperor and his concubines, the passive one and the least attractive would soon be forgotten, and she didn’t want that to happen!

"Thank you for your advice, Miss Jophi. I can feel you have a lot of knowledge about a man. Is it possible for you to share your experiences and tips about how to handle a man?" Linda felt enlightened.

"Eh-hmm, alright. So, this is the catch." Jophiel was taken aback.

Her manipulative charm and tendency could not be called experience to handle a man. Her words and beauty alone could manipulate her targets at will, even becoming her slaves. Yet, She could never manage her master as she was the one who got handled by her master, but she still shared her insight and knowledge with Linda like an experienced lady, the love expert.

After receiving the precious advice, Linda was excited and then dared herself to join her young master and the peerless beauties in the party as she had to make her presence known to the others.

She didn’t want to be forgotten, let alone abandoned. So, she had to make a move to mend the awkward relationship with her young master because of the previous matter. Thus, she joined the festivities, trying to make herself known to the other girls.

Unfortunately, determination and action did not always align with expectations. Linda got defeated by her own nervousness and ended up like a puppet who couldn’t even string together a complete sentence.

"Hehe, it’s a relief to see you’ve straightened out your thoughts. I hope you’re not offended by my previous action. Here’s a newly grilled barbeque for you." Elysia was both amused and relieved.

"Huu-uuu... I’m sorry, young master. I’m not offended, just confused." Linda regained her self-confidence because her young master finally came to talk to her.

"Alright, let’s enjoy the party before we ascend to Heaven!" Sylvia raised her ice soda bottle, uncapped it, and sprayed it as a water spray.

"Hahaha!" Linda laughed as she somehow felt like she was part of the group now.

"El..." Gaia signaled to Elysia that it was almost time. Seeing that, Elysia nodded and approached Linda.

"You got drunk just from a happy soda? I’ll take you back to your dorm, Linda." Elysia wondered as she looked at Sylvia for an explanation, but this naughty demoness replied with an innocent smile.

"Uh-huh... I’m not drunk! It was just a low-alcohol soda. I can still stand on my own, young master." Linda felt the world was spinning, but she did stand on her feet by herself.

"Yes, yes... I’ll take her back for a moment." Elysia raised her hand to everyone and vanished into thin air, carrying the half-drunk Linda back to the Superhero Academy’s female dormitory.

"Ah-huh, young master... Linda can spend the night with you." Linda leaned her body to her young master.

"You have class tomorrow. Study diligently, so you can graduate early." Elysia stroked Linda’s head.

"I’m not a child anymore... It’s all your fault, young master. I can see no other men more appealing and as charming as you..."

"Is that my fault?"

"Uhm, so take responsibility."

"Responsibility, you’ve got it. Focus on becoming the best graduate, and we can talk about it."

"Oh, right... My young master is so responsible. Linda is grateful. It’s my blessing to meet you~"

Elysia felt a bit overwhelmed because Linda was drunk and started rambling. Yet, Linda suddenly grabbed her cheeks and forcefully kissed her on the lips.

"No matter how many women by your sides... Don’t ever abandon Linda, okay? " Linda demanded bashfully.

"You little girl... you shouldn’t kiss people casually." Elysia flicked Linda’s forehead, giving some clarity to the confused drunk girl’s mind. However, Linda did not shy away. Linda hugged her instead and looked at her face.

"Promise me..." Linda demanded with teary eyes.

"..." Elysia felt that Linda had a lot of insecurity. If she considered it again, she might be Linda’s last family member. "Alright. How can I forget you, my little squishy ginger?"

"!!!" Linda widened her eyes. That nickname was given by her late cousin brother when she was still a child. Although her young master might try to be her big brother, she didn’t wish to be a little sister! Well, it might be too early for now.

"You should go back to your dorm." Elysia stroked Linda’s head.

"Young master, will you visit me again soon?" Linda asked with a shy voice.

"I can’t promise you that. The war is happening despite the tranquility of the current status quo. Someone has to pay the price to maintain the temporary peace." Elysia didn’t dare to promise anything as she wasn’t even sure if she could return to Earth in the next year or two.

She could rely on the Cube Island’s AI to protect Linda in her stead. As she thought about that, she recalled the lucky guy she had chosen as a hero cadet at a whim. His name was Satria, and he was still at the Superhero Academy.

As she checked upon him with her divine sense, she found him not too far away. He was being dragged by his dormmates for a group blind date in the cafe in the downtown area.

"Fufu~" Feeling a bit amused, Elysia bid her farewell to Linda with a reassuring smile. Linda could only nod and walk into the female dormitory.

"The ongoing war... young master, what’s actually happening on your side? Are you protecting the Earth from something unknown that no one knows about? Will you tell me once I graduate?" Linda mumbled as she looked back, but her young master had already left.
