Because It's Interesting

"Why don't you tell her the truth?"

Having accompanied Link to buy a bucket of mineral water, some bulk snacks, and left before the fiery gaze of the shopkeeper could cause trouble, Villette could no longer contain her curiosity. She asked Link, who was walking ahead carrying a bag of items.

"If you did, she wouldn't misunderstand you."

Link lifted the bag slightly to ease his slightly reddened palms, then stopped and turned to look at her.

"Are you joking? Tell others about the existence of succubi and the academy? I don't want to endanger the people around me again. What if she finds out and goes to the police? What if the police get caught and turned into slaves while searching? Or what if she sneaks in and gets caught by a succubus?"

"So, you plan to just not explain and keep being misunderstood by everyone else?"

Villette frowned, watching Link respond with an indifferent expression.
