Succubus Prison

“El!” Satella’s cold face melted instantly, like the first snow after a storm. She quickly stepped forward and hugged her brother, then looked at Meneville without making a sound. Satella always held a certain respect for Meneville, who had once carefully taught her brother and was a legendary nymph, but this did not prevent her from being jealous of the close relationship between Meneville and her brother.

Meneville smiled and looked at her gently, as if she were looking at another outstanding junior: "Satella, it's been a long time. You've grown up and become stronger. If your father and mother saw you like this, they would be very pleased."

“Thank you.” When mentioning her parents, Satella showed a rare girlish demeanor. Then her gaze turned to Al, her pink eyes filled with concern and a hint of reproach. “What’s wrong with you? Didn’t we agree it was just a vacation? How did you end up with Gluttony again? Are you planning to take on Pride one-on-one next time? Or are you planning to drag Sloth out of bed and beat it up?”

El smiled helplessly, then put on a fawning smile: "Sis, it's really not my fault this time. The trouble came to me on its own."

Satella scoffed, "You always say that!"

The siblings had a brief discussion about the matter and discussed their next steps. El then looked at their teacher, Menivel, with an apologetic look in his eyes. "Teacher, our adventure may have to come to an end. I originally wanted to relax with you, but we got caught up in one storm after another, and you saw my ugly side. I'm really sorry."

Meniver waved her hand. "Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about? It was I who first suggested going to sea, so how can you be blamed? I'm already very satisfied to be a part of your adventures and to watch you grow. Besides, seeing the dark side of this world is a necessary lesson for you." She stepped forward and gently patted El's shoulder. "However, from now on, you and Satella will have to support each other and walk this path together."

El understood what his teacher meant. In the end, she was just a mere lake fairy and couldn't help him deal with great sins. Only great sins could deal with great sins.

Moreover, even if we take a step back, given the teacher's special status, she shouldn't get too involved in the brutal struggle for the throne.

“Teacher, then I’ll take you back,” El said immediately.

Satella nodded: "I'll arrange the portal right away."

Meneville did not refuse. She knew that Satella probably wanted her to leave. Not long after, El escorted his teacher away from Raging Waves Harbor and headed to the interior of the Empire, arriving at the edge of Mirror Lake.

The lake remained calm and still, just as it had been when Meneville left.

However, at that moment, a light blue figure leaped out of the water, splashing a series of sparkling water droplets, and rushed into El's arms.

"Waaaah, you're finally back." The siren girl Muirses' voice was full of grievance. Her bright blue eyes were filled with tears, which turned into pearls when they fell onto the damp grass. Her gorgeous fishtail gently patted El's thigh, as if complaining that he had never come to pick her up and whether he had forgotten about her long ago.

Al and their teacher, Menivel, exchanged a glance, both feeling a little guilty towards her.

El stroked her wet, silvery-white hair and coaxed, "Mülseth, you're even more beautiful than before. It seems you're doing quite well here?"

“Yes!” Muels nodded vigorously, a happy smile spreading across his face. “The fairies of Funing are all so kind to me! They made me a saltwater pool and told me to treat this place as my real home, but…”

Al continued, "But you still want to go back to your real home, because that's where Melona and your other friends are, right?"

Meneville walked to the lakeside and chatted with her sisters for a while. Then she came to Al's side and gently stroked Muels's cheek. "The sisters all love this child and treat her like our little sister. They want her to stay here forever, but if she really wants to leave, we won't stop her."

Muels seemed flattered, and finally she turned to El for help, "You saved me, so you should make the decision for me."

Seeing Muels's troubled expression, El remembered that he had originally planned to buy her and take her away from the Golden Palace so that she could keep her teacher company. So he said softly, "Living on the sea is certainly free, but there are many bad people on the sea. Neither Melona nor I can guarantee that you won't encounter any danger in the future. Now it seems that Mirror Lake is indeed the safest place. If you really miss home, you can ask your teacher and her sisters to accompany you back for a visit."

“Okay, then it’s decided.” Muels agreed with him, looking at him quietly, seemingly a little shy. Then she gently kissed his cheek as a thank you, before jumping into the lake and waving goodbye.

“Thank you for keeping her with us, El,” Menivel said sincerely. “With her here, we won’t be too lonely in the future.”

"Not at all, I should be thanking you on her behalf." He then thought for a moment, "Speaking of which, where has Little Red Riding Hood gone this time?"

I left in a hurry and didn't keep my promise to arrange a decent job for her that would provide her with a comfortable life.

“Leave this small matter to me. You should go and attend to your important matters.” Meniver waved her hand, making a gesture of seeing her off. “Your concerns are valid. Only you can stop those wanton sins and prevent Gluttony from continuing to harm innocent lives. Of course, you must also be careful yourself…”

"Yes, Master."

El took one last look at his teacher, imprinting her serene figure deep in his heart, then turned around without hesitation and activated [Teleport].

There's nothing to be afraid of; this time, he's not fighting alone.
