Academy, Behind the Cafeteria.
Under the shade of a tree.
Lia, who was sitting on the bench, glanced to the side and smiled at Rio, who had just arrived.
"I knew you would come here..."
No one knows Rio better than her; she saw that interview and knew that Rio was really bored, and he will definitely come to this spot to relax.
Rio nodded his head and sat down beside her.
"Although it was quite troublesome, it was a decent experience to take that interview... I don't really want to do it again, though; it's quite troublesome..."
Lia also nodded her head in agreement with Rio's words and said,
"Yeah, you looked like you were having a lot of trouble trying to fabricate lies, haha, that was kind of cute though~"
Rio shook his head and said,
"Being called cute doesn't make me feel good at all, sigh~"
Lia ignored those complaints and rested her head on his shoulder before speaking.
"By the way, I didn't get the chance to tell you this during the award ceremony, so let me say it now... You looked very handsome that day, just like a prince!"
A slight smile appeared on Rio's expressionless face after hearing that praise from her.
"Well, if you like it that much, I would have to start focusing on fashion sense then-"
Before Rio could finish his sentence, Lia directly sealed his lips with hers and stopped him from talking.
Even Rio was taken aback by her sudden move, as he didn't expect her to be the one to take the initiative.
Lia leaned back and said, with a smile,
"Unfortunately, we were at a public event that day; otherwise, this young lady would have eaten you alive, hehe~"
Rio was really surprised at Lia's assertive tone today. He tilted his head in confusion and asked,
"Where did you learn these flirting techniques? I don't remember Lia being this bold..."
A smug look appeared on Lia's face. She puffed up her chest in pride and said,
"Of course I learned these from Ellie! She's done a lot of research on how to flirt with Liam, so I took some tips from her..."
"So, what do you say? Was it effective?"
Rio nodded his head in response to her question.
"Yeah... it was perhaps too effective; actually, I nearly got a heart attack from that..."
While saying that, Rio gave an imaginary thumbs-up gesture to Ellie in his mind while saying,
'Excellent work, Partner!'
Just then, Rio remembered something, and he brought out the vouchers from his space ring.
"By the way, I got these vouchers from Mr. Jin; how about we go on a date this Sunday?"
Lia hurriedly nodded her head at those words and agreed.
"Yes! We should go!"
...
Neo was irritated by Liam's tone, and he wanted to reprimand him, but then he remembered Ashtel's words:
'You should talk it out properly with your son; how long are you going to create problems with him?' (A reference to ch. 212.)
Neo took a deep breath to calm his mind before he spoke.
"Look, all I want to say is that you should come back home... Your mother has been worried about you for a long time now..."
Neo, being a person who has become used to talking in a twisted manner, can't express his regrets properly; he can't talk kindly, and his mentality is just too different from Liam.
Neo treats his summoned beasts as mere tools, and he never attaches his feelings to them.
He has permanently lost hundreds of his summoned beasts in battle, endured significant sacrifices, and witnessed the death of his most beloved summoned beasts directly before him.
He doesn't want that to happen to Liam; he wants to tell Liam that he shouldn't attach his feelings to the summoned beasts, otherwise he will regret it when he loses them.
For a summoner, attaching their feelings to the summoned beasts is very deadly.
The summoned beasts are bound by contracts, but once they die permanently, they will go back to the spirit realm, and this is inevitable.
As a result, a summoner should be ready to discard his summoned beasts at any time.
Although he wants to tell Liam all this, Neo can't say it because he feels it's just too awkward to talk his heart out with him.
He is a prime example of an awkward father who, due to miscommunication, ruined his relationship with his son and now finds himself unsure of how to repair it.
Liam scowled in response to Neo's remarks,
"Look, I will not go back to that house, even if you kill me! As for my mother, I will video call her... or she can just come here to visit me!"
Liam doesn't like the atmosphere at his home; all his siblings hate him for his amazing talent, and he doesn't like living under the constant surveillance of those hatred-filled eyes.
Liam glanced at Ellie and said,
"Ellie, guide the guest to the door; tell him that he is not welcome here..."
Hearing Liam's words, Ellie scratched the back of her neck and didn't move.
Although she is Liam's summoned beast, she doesn't want to make things worse with an SS-ranker like Neo.
If Neo gets angry, it will be difficult to protect Liam from him.
But before Ellie could say anything, Neo got up by himself and said to her,
"Ellie, I leave the safety of my son in your hands; if you have any need for enhancement items, you can contact me-"
Liam gripped Ellie's hand tightly and glared at Neo before speaking.
"Don't act so familiar with her! She's mine!"
Seeing Liam act so protective of her, Neo took a last glance at those two and left while sighing.
"Kiddo, you are putting your heart in the wrong place... If you don't stop now, you will get hurt..."
Neo shook his head before saying those words, and then left quietly.
Liam kept glaring at his back until he left the room.
"Tch! He ruined the happy mood... sigh~"
Liam let go of Ellie's hand and went back to baking cookies with an irritated look on his face.
Ellie's face, on the other hand, had turned red for some reason, and Liam's words, 'She's mine!' kept ringing in her mind.
