Supremacy Games

In a short while, Elnora and Felix reached the hot springs' door.

"How about a short tour in the hot springs?" Elnora suggested, "We don't have showers and bathtubs like you humans. So, if you want to clean yourself, you have to come here."

"Sure thing." Felix agreed, finding no reason to reject.

However, Felix was still sensible enough to use his x-ray vision to scout ahead, not wanting to get in trouble in the palace.

'Hmm? There are girls already bathing there.'

Good thing he used it...He spotted two skeletons of females elves, sitting on the ground.

Felix didn't say anything as he assumed that Elnora would be leading him towards the male side of the hot springs.

However, she kept walking in direction of the two girls until they reached a wide open entrance made out of vines.

There was a hot mist coming out of it, hindering anyone's vision.

'The hell? Do they have only mixed hot springs?' Felix's first thought was that the hot springs were for both males and females.

Or maybe they only have one and there was a period for when girls bathe and boys bathe.

Whatever it was, he wasn't planning on intruding on those two girls.

"Why did you stop?" Elnora wondered after Felix halted in front of the entrance.

"I will wait for you here until you check if someone is inside." Felix said, not wanting to expose that he had used his x-ray vision to pry...It was extremely impolite.

"How gentlemanly of you." Elnora smiled and said, "I am certain that no one is inside, but I can check again...Give me a moment."

Felix watched Elnora walk towards the girls and start making gestures with her hands, clearly having a conversation with them.

After a brief moment, Elnora returned to Felix and said with her usual honest tone, "You can come in, no one is inside."

'Huh?'

Felix kept his composure, but his mind was slightly confused as he could still see the girls in the hot springs.

'I told you! This b*tch is up to something!' Asna interjected immediately after realizing that Elnora had exposed her first lie.

'Something is indeed fishy here.' This Felix didn't defend Elnora again as he couldn't excuse her after getting caught-red handed lying to his face.
