The Smiling Death

Chapter 483: Rotten Society and Cruel Word

Afterward, they visited the Moonveil Gardens.

Unlike the darker appearance of much of the city, the gardens were peaceful and colorful.

Silver-leafed trees swayed gently.

Flowers glowed faintly with magical light.

Crystal-clear streams flowed through the landscape.

Many students immediately began taking pictures using their magic devices.

Eliana was especially excited.

She practically ran from one flower bed to another.

Amon eventually moved toward Adelia.

With a cheerful smile, he called out,

"Professor Adelia!! I want to take a photo with you!!"

Adelia, who had been quietly watching the students, smiled softly.

"Sure. Why not?"

Amon grinned.

"Come with me. Let’s find a good place and take one."

She nodded.

Soon, they stood beneath a massive tree with silver leaves drifting down around them.

Adelia wore a simple ankle-length blue dress.

Her bright green hair flowed freely down her back.

Strands of hair swayed gently in the breeze.

Amon stood very close to her.

Watching the two of them was none other than Marcus.

His lips twitched with irritation.

In his hand was Amon’s pager.

"Bastard. He is definitely trying to flirt with her."

Marcus muttered under his breath.

Standing beside Adelia, Amon remembered the photo they had taken during their date.

The one where they had been holding hands.

’Should I do it?’

Amon wondered. He couldn’t simply do it now. It might be wrong since he was already committed to someone.

Adelia noticed his thoughtful expression.

Gently touching his hand, she asked,

"What happened? What are you thinking about so deeply?"

Amon snapped out of his thoughts.

With an awkward smile, he replied,

"Haha! It’s nothing. I was just thinking about the photo we took last time. The one where we were holding hands."

Her eyes widened slightly. Then she nodded. A moment later, her fingers slipped into his palm. She intertwined her fingers with his and held his hand.

Amon blinked in surprise.

"Well... that was unexpected."

A faint blush appeared on his face.

Adelia chuckled at his reaction.

"Hehe~ it’s alright. We are only recreating that memory."

"Hm... sure."

The two of them looked toward Marcus.

Marcus stared back at them. His mouth hung open. His jaw had practically dropped.

Amon immediately called out,

"Hey, click the photo."

"Huh?! Dammit!"

Marcus wanted to curse. But regardless, he took the photo.

Adelia felt slightly embarrassed since another student was watching them.

Still, Marcus was Amon’s friend. So it wasn’t a big deal. Besides, they were a little away from the others. So nobody else should have noticed them. At least that was what she thought.

A short distance away, behind another tree,

three heads peeked out while watching them.

"My~ my~ Amon really is a player~"

Eliana said playfully.

Her voice was loud enough for everyone to hear.

Marcus and Adelia immediately looked toward them.

With her usual calm expression, Seraphina said,

"He was always bold. But... he sneaked away from us to take photos. I thought he would ask me as well."

Her expression remained indifferent.

Yet her voice sounded slightly dejected.

As though she had been betrayed by a trusted friend.

Crossing her arms, Aisha snorted.

"Hmph! That boy is just a pervert. Nothing else."

Amon’s eyes twitched.

He also felt slightly guilty after hearing Seraphina.

But right now—

That wolf girl needed punishment.

Meanwhile, Adelia quickly let go of Amon’s hand in embarrassment.

"Hey!! It’s not what you think!! We were just taking photos."

Looking at Adelia, Aisha immediately said,

"Professor Adelia, you are not at fault. This Amon is just a pervert."

That finally pushed Amon over the edge.

"How dare you!! You dare call me a pervert?!"

Aisha stomped her foot.

"Yes! Because you are one!!"

Amon nodded furiously.

"Okay. If that’s what you think, then let me show you what a true pervert actually means."

Aisha flinched.

Her wolf ears twitched.

Her tail immediately stiffened.

Looking at him cautiously, she asked,

"W-What do you mean?"

A wicked smile appeared on Amon’s face.

"Hm... my hands are itching."

He rubbed his palms together.

"Itching to pet something soft and furry. To spoil some cute wolf~"

Amon took a step forward.

Aisha immediately stepped back.

"Y-You... w-what do you mean by petting something soft and furry?! And spoiling some cute wolf?! If you mean me, then I swear I will kill you!"

Amon’s smile widened.

Aisha took another step back.

She knew very well that the young man she once thought was weak had now become stronger than her.

"Professor Adelia!! Please stop this madman!"

Adelia smiled helplessly.

"Aisha... I do think you were wrong. No matter what, you can’t just call someone a pervert. Naturally, that person will become angry. Also, I believe Amon won’t hurt you or anything. So take it as a lesson."

Aisha’s eyes widened.

She couldn’t believe it.

Professor Adelia was clearly showing favoritism toward Amon.

She immediately turned toward Seraphina and Eliana.

"Hey! You two stop him!!"

Seraphina tilted her head.

"Hmm... but this looks interesting."

Eliana nodded excitedly.

"Yes!! I want to see it!! No way I am stopping Amon. I would help him if he needs it."

Aisha clenched her teeth and growled.

Then her eyes landed on Marcus, who was quietly trying to slip away from this scene.

"Marcus!! You! You need to help me!"

Marcus froze after hearing her voice. He was busted while speaking away.

Turning around, he looked at her and sighed.

"Just now, Seraphina and Eliana said they want to see it. They are on Amon’s side. How am I supposed to help you? They will definitely stop me easily."

All color drained from Aisha’s face.

Meanwhile, Amon continued walking toward her while rubbing his palms together.

"Be a good girl now... come here. I will be gentle."

"H-Hell nah!!"

Aisha spun around and ran as fast as she could.

"Where are you running?!"

Amon shouted before immediately chasing after her.

Eliana burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!! Did you see her expression?! It was so funny!"

Even Seraphina chuckled softly.

Adelia smiled warmly.

At least the students were enjoying themselves.

Marcus silently prayed for Aisha.

Hoping she could somehow survive against Amon.

---

"You bastard! Leave me alone!!"

A beautiful young beastwoman yelled while running. As if her life was on line.

"No!! I won’t stop until I pet you until I am satisfied!!"

Amon declared as though this was his life’s greatest goal.

The two of them raced throughout the park. Their classmates watched with confusion.

A horrified-looking Aisha running for her life.

Amon chasing after her with determination.

Other two professors,Jolene and Asher also chuckled. Thinking this young people were enjoying their time.

Even the demons visiting the park stopped to watch with amusement and curiosity.

Aisha felt that society itself was rotten to the core. A young lady was running for her dignity. And nobody was stepping forward to help her.

This world was absolutely cruel for a girl like her.
