Alec single-handedly dragged both of the rats to the room where Alec was supposed to stay instead.
Since he wanted to do this in secrecy, then the only place that was currently available for them was the rooms that he'd already secured.
He was certain that Sekai had already taken care of the rat that had gone after him, having a good idea of the Main Character's personality.
Sure enough, the sight that greeted both Elysia and Alec was one that wasn't out of character for the rather rough Main Character.
Compared to the two men that were in their hands, the one that had gone through Sekai's rough handling was in much worse shape, but it wasn't bad enough that he wouldn't be able to participate in Alec's little game.
It wasn't too bad. He was a little banged up, but it wasn't anything that a bit of ointment couldn't fix.
Pulling out a jar of ointment, Alec started slathering it on the third man's bruises.
Sekai instantly made a sound of discontent. "The hell you healing him up for?"
Elysia also looked like she was hoping for an answer as her eyes sparkled, which was why Alec even deigned to reply in the first place.
"I'm not so nice as to end their suffering right away, of course," Alec said, and it was with his normal smile on his face. "Just killing them won't cut it."
Sekai looked at him warily. Somehow, he didn't feel like he wanted to know.
If anything, he pitied the fools who handed themselves to the System on a silver platter where he was free to exert his retaliation as he wanted.
After all, just look at what had happened to Sekai.
Some fools were going to suffer in his hands again, but it gave Sekai a bit of vindictive pleasure that he wasn't on the receiving end this time.
"Ha. You take care of it, then. I'm going to sleep. Don't bother me unless you're dying. Wait. Even then, you take care of it yourself."
Alec waved him off, and Sekai sauntered out of the room.
On the other hand, Elysia was still grinning brightly, and her eyes all but sparkled.
It was quite fascinating how Elysia didn't seem to be phased by his apparent change in personality at all, so Alec couldn't help but ask.
"Aren't you curious?"
Elysia beamed at him. "Of course I am. But, it's also more fun for me to puzzle it out by myself. Anyway, I like you, so that's enough. And my intuition is never wrong!"
Alec's traitorous heart gave a little thump at those words, causing the System to frown inwardly.
He shoved down on his walls a bit more firmly before he was satisfied that nothing else was going to come out.
"You're strange."
"Thank you! I think you're strange too," Elysia chirped.
She watched Alec prepare some sort of concoction with a green herb that she'd frequently seen back when she was living in a forest with her dad.
"Hm," she mused. Her eyes sparkled when she thought about what fun things Alec was going to do.
She had a clear distinction between people she liked and people she didn't, and she was well aware of the difference in her treatment towards them.
Still, she didn't see anything wrong with it.
For someone that she liked, she'd go through hell and high water for them, but for those she didn't, sometimes she felt as if she didn't even consider them part of the same species.
When she'd said as such to Rosabel, her friend had given her a funny look, saying, 'As long as you're fine with it'.
Elysia laughed cheerfully.
Honestly, her morals and ethics were probably a bit out of whack, but that didn't really matter much to her at all.
To be honest, she felt like she was more dragon than human most days, but that didn't mean that she felt like the new friends she made were anything less.
She knew well that she wasn't what one considered 'normal', but she thought that she was quite fine with it.
Elysia knew that it was partially because of her past, and partially because of her upbringing, and she was definitely raised with more dragon characteristics than human ones, but this was who she was, and she wasn't going to change herself for someone else no matter what they said.
Like her, hate her, that didn't influence her thoughts at all.
She had a feeling that she and Alec were actually remarkably similar, and she felt as if she discovered kin.
More than friends, they felt like they were the same kind of people.
In this respect, she felt her curiosity for her friend slash boss grow incomparably.
By this time, Alec was done with his rather potent aphrodisiac.
He'd drank the entire glass and more of what they'd placed into their drinks, but even with the added potency of alcohol plus the drugs, it didn't affect him one bit.
He'd been regularly consuming small doses of poison with increasing potency, as well as the antidotes, and Alec was quite immune to most poisons at this point.
What started out as a little experimentation with the Viridian herb from his curiosity surged out of control whenever he thought that he was improving bit by bit, and before he knew it, his body had ended up in this state.
It'd helped that he'd Awakened his body's latent immunity, which made the whole process a lot simpler than what it would be otherwise.
If normal people wanted to do what he did, they'd have to suffer at least ten times as much.
Instead of feeding them the concoction, Alec continued working on it until he managed to produce a clear, traceless serum.
He injected it directly into the three's bloodstream before standing up.
Elysia's eyes could have lit up the entire night sky, with how much they were sparkling, and they reminded Alec of the stars.
She seemed to realize that something very fun was about to go down, and despite himself, Alec felt his lips curl into a little smirk of vindication at the thought about what was about to go down.
Elysia sniffed the air, and her eyes widened. She was sure that without her increased sense of smell, she wouldn't have been able to tell what the serum did at all. "Wow, that's potent!"
Even without Alec telling her what it was, she could already tell that it was going to be aphrodisiac. Her nose never failed her when it came to scents. It was a dragon's privilege.
She quietly pieced together his plan, and she let out a little laugh.
"Are you going to put them all in the same room as that guy who hit on me earlier?"
Alec freely admitted it, and Elysia flew forward, squeezing him out of glee. "Haha, that's so funny! A taste of their own medicine, huh?!"
She grabbed up the remaining syringe on the table, pressing down on the stopper just a little, causing a bit of it to squirt out.
Grinning, she darted out the window, silently sneaking to Travis' room.
Alec didn't stop her.
Instead, he grabbed the three men that now had a flush on their faces, making his way towards Travis' room as well.
Just as he felt Elysia ready herself outside of the man's window, Alec knocked on the door three times.
He heard a bit of swearing behind the door.
"Finally, idiots! What took you so long!"
Just as the door opened, Alec also caught the arrogant young master's unconscious body, the man knocked out from behind.
Elysia grinned and made a peace sign. "Tada!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
