Summoned and Unwanted

Shortly, Vincent and Kazumi became surprised to see a garden with high bush walls behind the mansion. As they followed Melissa inside, they felt like they were entering a short, easy-to-get-out maze.

At the center of this maze was an outdoor room with bush walls and two entrances to arrive at this location. In the middle was a three-person bench with cushions for a comforting time.

The scenery was mesmerizing and calming. There were a variety of flowers, and their colors were vibrant. It made both Vincent and Kazumi think how excited Iris would be to visit this place.

“Hehe. It’s nice, right? It took some time to set this all up, but it’s to my liking.” Melissa boasted with a proud and arrogant tone. It was obvious she accepted nothing other than compliments.

[Even though the scenery is nice, this arrogant girl wants to show off. Iris can do better if we give her some flowers to grow, heh.]

“The view is enchanting. I can see you had a lot of work to do.” Vincent complimented as he needed to cash in the favor. Making Melissa angry could make it difficult from now on with the plan.

“Hehe.” Melissa giggled and placed her hands on her hips. “That’s why I chose a maid who usually takes care of the garden at home...”

Melissa stopped when she saw Vincent smile. She understood what the problem was. Vincent complemented Melissa, yet she boasted of leaving all the work for her maid.

.....

*Cough* “I designed this place and helped my maid choose the assortment of flowers. I also brought this comfy bench. It was hard work, but it was well worth the effort.”

Vincent held himself from chuckling while Kazumi burst into laughter. It was obvious Melissa was trying her hardest not to appear as a freeloader.

Vincent nodded. “Yes. I can see the touch of nobility was put in this place. If it wasn’t for your effort, I guess your servant would not be able to make this place as enchanting as it is now.”

“Really?... Ahem. You have gotten used to the taste of nobility to see what a noble can do.” Melissa said with a faint blush on her cheeks. She liked being praised.

“Can I know a little about these assortments of flowers?”

“Sure.”

After Vincent asked a question, he knew Melissa would’ve loved to hear as it gave her a chance to boast. Ten minutes of Melissa boasting swiftly passed.

“How about we sit?” Milissa sat in the middle of the bench, forcing Vincent to sit close to her.

“I wonder what you need from the pretty me. I wonder if you have become enchanted by my beauty.” Melissa narcissistically said while patting the left and right sides of the cushions.

Vincent went to sit beside Melissa. He looked at Melissa and thought, ‘Just how beautiful does Melissa think she is? I think all my girls look as good or better than her.’

“Let me guess, hehe. Are you going to leave your wife for me? Lilith lost weight and became pretty, yet less attractive than me. I guess you really have an eye for women since you wanted to be with me in private, hehe.

Vincent saw Melissa wink and giggle. *Sigh* “Aren’t you afraid of what I did to our classmates?”

“You acted barbaric and un-noble-like. ” Melissa honestly said. “But I was romantic as well. To seek revenge for your female teammate was like hearing a real-life romantic action story.”

[Sigh... I don’t particularly appreciate listening to Melissa. All she does is boast or flirt. I am going to play with Wolfie and Freerie. Kazumi AFK.]

‘... looks like I’m on my own.’

“Ahem. I am grateful you see what is good about me, but no, I am not here to cheat on my wives. I am here to tell you two things privately.”

Melissa looked at Vincent with a shocked expression. It became apparent seducing Vincent was all she was thinking about. The reaction made Vincent more agreeable with the idea he and Kazumi thought of.

“Please do not look sad. I wanted to redeem the favor for saving your life and also tell you confidential information I believe no one will ever tell you. This information is about the people tricking you and doing bad things behind your back.”

“Confidential information... being tricked... ” Melissa slowly said with a shocked expression.

“Relax and steady your breathing first. It is going to be a long story. After I finish, you will know why I need the favor redeemed. I think only you can help now.” Vincent spoke calmly, hoping to help the shocked Melissa relax.

After Melissa nodded, Vincent began from the beginning. Starting from when Jun Ye Rim was acting strangely after she was becoming closer and friendlier.

Vincent continued with the make your girlfriend jealous services and how the five classmates used the services, and later Melissa was seen with them.

After Melissa put two and two together, she could understand why Vincent sought to redeem the favor for saving her life at this time.

The timing of when Jun Ye Rim was being harrassed coincided with the first date she had with one of the five Vincent took revenge upon. Not wanting to have Jun Ye Rim warn Melissa she is being tricked, the five tried to make sure she could not reveal the truth.

Melissa looked at Vincent with a blank expression. If she was infuriated or in deep thinking, Vincent couldn’t tell. However, there was one thing Vincent could tell. Melissa didn’t deny being tricked. She was doing something immoral, and this was karma paying her back.

“Did...” *Thud* “Huh?” Vincent was about to speak when Melissa fell on him. He nudged her shoulder, yet she didn’t move.

“I already told you I am not interested in flirting with you.” However, there was no response.

Vincent became worried when Melissa didn’t respond. Her pride would’ve forced her to say something or at least move by now.

*Sigh* “The stressful information caused her to faint...”

[Yup. Now you have to babysit Melissa until she wakes up. You still have arrived at the favor part.]

Vincent sighed again. He gently placed Melissa on the bench. He sat down a meter away from the bench and continued with his Energy Flow training.

One hour later, Melissa opened her eyes. She moved her head to the side and saw Vincent training in front of her. It pleased her not to be abandoned or call for the maid to take care of her.

Vincent stopped training and looked at Melissa. “Have you understood now how dangerous your hobby is? You almost died last time from the jealous girlfriends. But you didn’t learn the lesson and gave the idea to be tricked while causing others who find out trouble.”

Melissa slowly leaned upwards. She looked apologetic, depressed, and angry at herself.

“Melissa. Don’t you want to seek revenge? My enemies are your enemies. Are they not?” Vincent stood up and sat beside Melissa. He revealed a friendly smile while continuing, “My favor is to see them pay, yet because Jun Ye Rim’s parents can’t seek justice for their daughter, the families of the five bastards have skipped the part of what their children have; done.”

*Crack* Vincent’s knuckles produced a sound after he clenched his fists tightly. “They are seeking an apology and compensation from me. Does it mean women can be molested in this academy if the molester’s family is influential?”

Melissa looked at Vincent. She didn’t respond, yet Vincent could tell she was thinking about something.

“You want them to pay, right?” Vincent decided to insist. He wanted help and not an undecided answer.

“They...” Milissa frowned in anger. Vincent’s words managed to rile her up at last.

Melissa angrily stomped her foot on the ground.

“I don’t want to see innocent girls suffering like that. No one should! They need to be taught a lesson for what they have done! They must apologize to Jun Ye Rim and me!” She said in anger.

“Does that mean you will help us request an apology even if we have to accept judgment by combat?”

“J-j-judgment by combat?” Melissa stuttered.

“Is there another way to demand a public apology?”

Melissa remained quiet for a while. It was obvious she couldn’t think of an alternative.

“Leave the worrying to me. ” Vincent said while patting his chest. “All I need is your help to seek a public apology, and you seek an apology for being tricked. Going out on a date when being tricked is an unfortunate experience.”

Melissa stood up. Her gaze with fuming with rage, and her clenched fists could break a walnut.

“They need to pay for tricking me! They will know how it feels to be on the bad side of the beautiful Melissa Griffionheart!”

“I will make people know how horrible the ones who hurt Jun Ye Rim are. If they have decided to ignore the victim Jun Ye Rim, then I will make sure they remember!”

[Nice... but I feel we should never be on Melissa’s bad side. She looks like the type of person who will do anything in the name of revenge.]

-Yeah. The current Melissa is giving me goosebumps. I didn’t expect to see Melissa enraged. I thought I needed to tell her many bad things to reach this state.-
