Chapter 135: Elise’s Reaction!
In the process, he gently lifted her short skirt just enough to expose her completely, revealing her beautiful, tempting pink folds.
Looking at how they glistened with wetness again, Soren couldn’t help but lightly tap there with his finger, making Elise yelp in pleasure.

Ding!
[Perverted act detected.]
[You gained +10 Perverted Harem Points]

“~~Mmm~~so good~~”
Elise’s breathing was already heavy, and Soren wasn’t much better.
Still, he didn’t go any further. Instead, he gently lowered her skirt, hiding her glistening pink folds from view once again.
Of course, he didn’t ask her to wear underwear, though.
Rather, he lightly hugged her soft, squirming body with one hand, adjusting her in his lap before taking out the two ancient rings from his inventory.
One engraved with a blazing phoenix and the other with a coiling dragon, their contrasting designs giving off a regal yet dangerous aura.
“Hey, Elise…can you scan this and look at its effect?”
Soren suddenly tapped Elise’s shoulder, asking her to look at the two rings in his hand. The same ring that he used on her at the C-rank dungeon.
*Twin Ring of Lust*
“Hmm?”
Elise was a bit confused. With how Soren caressed her below, she thought he was about to start his new perverted act, but he suddenly stopped, making her want more.
Although she was a bit dissatisfied, she still obediently lowered her head, focusing on the ring on Soren’s hand.
“Oh…the ring that you let me wear at the dungeon before.”
Surprisingly, the moment Elise saw it, she recognized it immediately, making Soren look a bit awkward.
“Scan it. You should be able to see some information.”
As much as Soren wanted to hide it immidiatley, his heart was having this guilt from the moment he heard that system prompt.
To be honest, he should be happy that he got one Side Heroine already. This was a good start after all.
But he suddenly found that he really couldn’t be silent. There was no doubt that he used an artifact to seduce her.
Even now, he didn’t know how much she was affected, nor what she would do if she knew about it.
He had no clue how she would react.
However, in the end, Soren finally decided to come clean. If he had to say the reason why, it must be because…
’I am not a character in a game, nor is she.’
There was no reason for him to think of Elise as a Side Heroine anymore when she was already his.
She was his first in this world, and he was hers in return. Being honest was the least he could do for her after all.
“Hmm?”
As Soren waited for Elise’s reaction with bated breath, Elise looked at the artifact description.
Since it was just a D-rank, although she couldn’t see everything, she could see its effect easily.
“…”
As she read through the effect, though, Soren saw her face slowly getting solemn.
For a moment, he thought she was about to lash out, only to see her exclaim in surprise,
“Wow, is this only a D-rank artifact? How can it be this powerful?”
Rather than getting angry, she seemed surprised as she took one of the rings and examined it in wonder.
“Hey Soren, although I don’t know much about artifacts, as a Rogue class, I have some abilites to see through objects. And I can gurantee that these aren’t just D-rank artifacts at all.”
Elise instead solemnly pointed at the unknown words engraved right below the blazing phoenix and coiling dragon in both rings.
“See? They are clearly ancient letters. Just by this, they cannot be D-rank only. Hey, where did you even get this?”
She asked, turning her head up to look at Soren, only to see him looking at him confusedly, with a face full of questions.
“…”
“…”
For a moment, Soren and Elise couldn’t help but look at each other until…
“Aren’t you angry?”
Soren couldn’t help but break the silence. He didn’t even care to point out how Elise casually exposed her class just now.
Instead, he was really confused. He thought Elise would at least show some resentment or at least question him about why he did such a thing.
Just because the system said he conquered her didn’t mean she was his slave, devoid of her own thoughts after all.
But seeing how casually she ignored the effect, focusing on something else, Soren didn’t know what to say.
Was he…really thinking too much?
“Angry? Why will I be angry?”
Looking at Elise’s confused look, it seemed so.
“Oh…were you perhaps…thinking about its effect on me?”
She finally seemed to have realized where Soren was getting at as she widened her beautiful eyes, before breaking into a soft giggle.
“Pffttt…Soren, you are so naive. Did you think I was affected by this ring and fell for you because of this item?”
She even lightly beat his chest while moving her whole body in soft laughter, appearing much more enchanting.
Only…Soren was in no mood to enjoy her laugh as he looked at Elise, a bit annoyed.
’The heck was she laughing at me for? Isn’t this serious?’
Soren thought, wondering if he should just lay her down across his lap and smack her bum as punishment.
Fortunately, Elise controlled herself when she saw that Soren was annoyed.
She then lightly coughed and explained,
“Okay, you don’t have to worry about me being influenced by this ring. If I were still wearing it, then maybe, but now…”
Elise shook her head before showing her finger where the ring was before in the dungeon.
“See? There is no glowing mark of bond here. That means the effect of this ring disappears the moment you take it away from my finger.”
She lightly explained,
“So, don’t worry about its effect. No matter what, it is only a D-rank artifact right now. You have no idea how hard it is to alter someone’s personality.”
“Not to mention, I share Twin Resonance with Elara. It is nearly impossible for me to get affected unknowingly.”
Elise lightly revealed another secret of hers to Soren before giving him a cute pout.
“Soren…are you doubting my feelings for you right now?”
She asked as if offended.
“Although I admit I might have been affected by this ring somehow at that time, my feelings for you are genuine, you know.”
She softly began pouring out her feelings while circling her arms around his waist, placing her head on his chest.
“You are very naive if you think I will fall for you just because of an artifact. Feelings don’t work that way. Can’t you see I am genuine to you? Do I look like someone influenced?”
Elise asked one question after another, making Soren feel awkward. He did this to ask for her forgiveness, but seemed to have offended her somehow.
Although Soren still had doubts, he felt that since she already said so much, there was no point delving into it, was there?
Thinking so, Soren placed his arm on her back and was about to console her when suddenly an impromptu voice directly transmitted into his mind out of nowhere,
’Boy, I am Professor Lyra. Come to my place. Principal Logan wants to see you.’
