Seven Sins System Chapter 323. Why They Are Smell Like You?

I offered Claire a reassuring smile, understanding why she felt the need to mention my lack of response. "Do you remember what Ivy said to you in the shadow realm?" I gently reminded her. Ivy had provided them with plenty of information about me, shedding light on my habits, my usual tasks, their positions in the shadow realm, and even my relationships with other devils and demons. One of those details happened to be my somewhat unconventional sexual habits. I didn't want them to be taken aback, especially given how much more relaxed I was in the mortal realm compared to the shadow realm. The way I multitasked with my tentacles for nearly everything might come as a shock, but I wanted them to be prepared.

Claire remained quiet for a moment, her thoughts sorting themselves out, before she finally nodded in understanding.

"Good girl," I praised Claire, my hand tenderly caressing her hair as we shared a moment of affection.

Claire's face flushed with a hint of shyness, and she leaned in, her voice barely above a whisper. "Are you going to have full intercourse with me next?" she asked, her curiosity and anticipation mingling in her question.

"I will," I affirmed, my voice steady. But then, I shifted my attention to the clock on the wall, its hands inching closer to the time when class was set to begin. "But..." I gestured toward the clock, a silent reminder of our impending schedules. "Not now," I cautioned.

Julia, who had just finished dressing, stepped over and opened the curtains, the morning light streaming into her figure. "With your Devil's Craft, you don’t have to work anymore. Why are you still doing it?" she inquired, genuine curiosity coloring her tone. Her question hung in the air like a mystery.

I took a deep breath, contemplating the complexities of my situation. "I wish it could be that easy," I began, offering a dry smile in response. "Even though Aria already knows my true identity and we've decided to turn a blind eye to each other's real selves, the light realm can't officially know that I'm here. Or at least I can't openly announce my presence to them," I explained, the weight of the situation evident in my words. "So..." I shrugged, the challenges of maintaining my dual identity ever-present. "I still have to carry on as Dr. Allen, just as she acts as Aria, the prodigy paladin," I continued, underscoring the need for discretion and secrecy.

Julia returned my dry smile with one of her own. "That makes sense," she agreed. "Alright, I've got to head to class. It's almost starting," she added, her sense of responsibility taking precedence.

Claire, who'd been present all along, chimed in as well. "Me too," she concurred, confirming her own imminent departure.

The two of them exchanged brief farewells before making their way to the door. However, just as they were about to exit, Aria appeared right in front of my office, her timing uncannily precise.

"Good morning, Ms. Aria," Julia greeted her with a warm smile, her demeanor relaxed and amiable. She had a way of making everyone feel at ease.

In contrast, Claire remained on high alert, offering only a nod in Aria's direction. This was the stoic Claire, the one known for her cool and collected disposition.

Aria responded with a friendly "Morning," as the three of them acknowledged each other.

Their brief encounter in the hallway swiftly ended as Julia and Claire made their way to their respective classes. Meanwhile, Aria entered my office.

I wasted no time in greeting her, my expression a mixture of bitterness and curiosity. I crossed my arms over my chest, making my displeasure evident. "What do you want?" I inquired bluntly, my tone laced with frustration. Her sudden presence had caught me off guard, and I couldn't fathom her purpose.

Aria responded with clarity, a hint of casualness in her demeanor. "I'm just a mentor here," she explained. "They haven't assigned me to teach any classes yet. So I don't have anything to do at the moment." Her explanation was straightforward, as she tried to bridge the gap between us.

‘Right... I forgot about that,’ I mused silently. She was a recent addition to the academy, and it was unlikely that she'd been assigned to teach a class just yet. Besides, word had it that the academy had already arranged for another teacher to take over Theo's responsibilities.

Aria came to a stop in front of me, her expression mirroring the displeasure I'd exhibited earlier. Her judgmental gaze bore into me, making her disapproval abundantly clear.

My own brows furrowed in response to her reproachful look. "What?" I snapped impatiently, my tone curt and a touch defensive.

"They smell like you. What have you done to them?" Aria questioned, her disapproval still evident in her voice. The intrigue surrounding my interactions with Julia and Claire had apparently piqued her interest, and she wasn't about to let me off the hook easily.

A sly smile tugged at the corners of my lips as Aria questioned me. "Guess," I challenged her, thoroughly enjoying her discomfort.

But Aria was in no mood for games. Her displeasure was palpable as she hissed, "I'm not interested in playing around. Just answer me."

I leaned in slightly, my eyes locking onto hers as I prepared to reveal the truth. "Well," I began, relishing the moment. "Mortals can smell like a devil for one of two reasons. They've either recently engaged in intimate activities, or they're in the service of a devil," I explained with a hint of mischief in my voice. "Or," I continued, allowing my smirk to widen, "it could be both."

Aria's expression shifted from annoyance to a mix of surprise and curiosity. I could see her mind working as she processed the implications of my response, and the air in the room seemed to crackle with an unspoken challenge.

“So, which one?” she asked me.

“In their case… It’s the third one,” I stated.
