"STOPPP!"

Floriana Sabina shouted to both of them. There was panic on her face as she went in between them and blocked Rant Valo from Veia.

Rant Valo was startled by her shout and he pulled his hand back. Veia was watching Rant Valo's hand move closer but disappointment immediately took her face when she saw him pull it back.

"Stop seducing my disciple!"

Floriana Sabina glared at Veia. She was clearly not happy at Veia's attempt to hold Rant Valo's hand.

"G-grandmaster… It was just in the heat of the moment."

Veia was startled by her outburst and panicked. She looked at Rant Valo to ask for help, but Rant Valo also couldn't do anything so he just looked away and pretended that he didn't see her look over.

"You're not permitted to stay 5 meters around my disciple! I thought we had a 1-week agreement of not making a move towards my disciple."

Floriana Sabina snapped at Veia. Having Veia seduce her disciple on her watch was something she would not tolerate. Her disciple is destined for good things. Not to be corrupted by a succubus like her.

"I'm sorry…"

Veia held her head down. What Floriana Sabina said was true and she couldn't deny anything of it. She couldn't help but sneak glances at Rant Valo. Rant Valo was awkwardly standing on the side. Even if he wanted to, there's nothing he could do.

"Hmph! Let's go, Disciple."

Floriana Sabina grabbed Rant Valo's hand and pulled him together with her. They walked ahead while Veia was following right behind them. She was downcast and she looked up and her eyes suddenly opened wide in shock.

'G-grandmaster's h-holding Master's hand!'

Veia was bewildered after realizing that. She didn't even have a chance to hold Rant Valo's hands yet Grandmaster already did. She couldn't help but feel that the world is so unfair towards her.

Rant Valo and Floriana Sabina didn't notice it themselves. As for Rant Valo, he thought nothing of it when she held his hands and it soon disappeared from his thoughts.

Floriana Sabina by reflex, moved their hands together forward and backward in a swinging motion. Rant Valo noticed it and looked to his hand holding Floriana Sabina's hand.

"Ah, we've been holding hands?"

Rant Valo said in confusion. He didn't notice it.

"What? Kyaa!"

Floriana Sabina was confused and when she looked at her hand she pulled it back in surprise.

"W-why are you holding my hand!?"

Floriana Sabina shouted at Rant Valo in panic. Her face was blushing red from embarrassment.

"You held it?"

Rant Valo felt confused when she blamed him when he didn't remember ever taking her hand.

"I-I… Awawawawawa"

Floriana Sabina flustered after realizing that she was holding onto Rant Valo's hand this whole time. She looked around and saw Veia looking at her with a disappointed face.

"Grandmaster, you just wanted to touch Master's hand this whole time?"

Veia spoke while her voice shook. It was like she couldn't believe what she was seeing right now.

"I-I didn't!"

Floriana Sabina panicked and looked at Rant Valo who was looking at her weirdly.

"H-hmph! What's wrong with me h-holding hands with my d-disciple!"

She puffed out her chest and looked at both of them. She was trying her best to act like it was not wrong.

"Grandmaster, do you perhaps like my Master?"

Veia's eyes were glowing when she said that. There was curiosity in her eyes.

"ME!? Like him? NO WAY!"

Floriana Sabina pointed at herself before pointing at Rant Valo like she just heard the most absurd thing in the world.

"Why are you blushing then?"

Veia asked with a smile on her face.

"I-I'm not!"

Floriana Sabina denied her as her face became redder and redder.

"Don't worry, Grandmaster! I don't mind sharing Master!"

There was a cheeky grin on Veia's face as she spoke.

"That's not what I mean!"

Floriana Sabina denied fervently. She was cutely panicking as she looked at Rant Valo to ask for help.

"I think Master Floriana does not see me that way."

Rant Valo interjected after seeing that it was getting out of control.

"Aww, Master, you didn't have to reveal it. It was fun teasing Grandmaster."

Veia pouted at Rant Valo. Everything she said just now was something she just made up. After seeing Floriana Sabina's reactions, she couldn't help but continue and tease her more.

"Really? You were doing it on purpose!"

A fan appeared on Floriana Sabina's hand and she smacked it on top of Veia's head.

"Ouw!"

Veia felt a sharp pain come from the top of her head. Floriana Sabina did not hold back when she hit her.

"Hmph! Let's go. You're now to stay 10 meters away from my disciple."

Floriana Sabina snorted and continued on ahead. Veia was left standing there with her mouth agape.

"1-10 meters!? That's too much!"

Veia shouted in injustice. 5 meters was already unbearable but staying 10 meters away from her Master would only make her yearn for him more.

"Hmph! Reflect on what you just did."

Floriana Sabina did not yield. She was upset that Veia just made her embarrassed like that.

"Master…"

Veia looked at Rant Valo and pleaded for his help with her eyes.

Rant Valo sighed and could only console her.

"If you make Master Floriana happy, she might forgive you."

Rant Valo left her alone soon after.

"Okay…"

Veia followed them while walking with her head lied low. She was thinking of ways to make Floriana Sabina happy. It was the only way she could get nearer to her Master again.

'I have an idea!'

A light bulb switched on inside Veia's head.

"Grandmaster, why don't I massage your shoulders?"

Veia ran in front and kept a 10-meter distance from Rant Valo while speaking to Floriana Sabina.

"Hmph! Do I look like I need some massage?"

Floriana Sabina snorted and turned her head away. She was clearly still upset.

"Hmmmmm… How about I drink your blood again?"

Veia suggested with a smile on her face. She remembered that Floriana Sabina enjoyed it when she drank her blood back then.
