Muku and Jade went to see Freya while Layla and Audrey stayed to deal with the boar. It had been left outside the mansion as they had to deal with the Abel matter.

Something odd happened when Muku and Jade reached Freya's door. The girl opened the door after hearing a knock. However, she immediately shut it when she noticed that it was Muku and Jade.

This was of course weird to Muku who couldn't think of a reason why she would do that. Jade on the other hand narrowed her eyes a little bit.

She then told Muku to give her a little privacy with Freya before they spoke to her about the Abel issue. Muku felt a little confused but saw no reason to refuse. So, he let Jade call out to Freya through the door.

She'd say things like "I know, so open up and let's talk about it". Which Muku didn't understand. However, he didn't think about it too much. Maybe it was just girl talk.

Freya opened the door instantly after Jade said those words. She then pulled the Jade into the room before shutting it back up in Muku's face. Muku felt that it was rather rude, but didn't say anything. He just stood by patiently.

He had to know what was up with Jade. He had a hunch that it might shed a bit more light on what was going on in NL Base.

.....

Inside Freya's room...

"W... What do you mean you know? I have nothing to hide. So what are you talking about?" Freya asked Jade with a nervous and panicked expression on her face.

She grabbed Jade very tightly as she did so. If Jade was someone weak, she might have been seriously injured by what Freya was doing.

"...." Jade just looked at her without saying anything.

"Come on! Say something!" Freya panicked even more. To the point that she began shaking Jade all over the place.

"Huh?... I'm making it obvious that I have something to hide?... What do you mean by I must confess to reduce the embarrassment?! Of course, you don't know about it. Why should you know about everything that goes on in my life?!" Jade silently looked on as Freya spoke to herself like a crazy person.

Of course, it was because she knew that Freya was talking to Iris. It was also rather funny to see someone looking so guilty and then confessing without even noticing that they were doing so. She found Freya cute at that moment. Maybe that's why Emily liked her so much.

"What?... I just confessed without noticing it?! You! It's your fault! What if she was buying it before you got involved?!... Ahh! It's you who's making it worse for me. I don't have to deal with you right now. Bye!" Freya continued digging her grace deeper until she made the right decision to cut Iris off.

Unfortunately, it was a little too late. She then looked into Jade's eyes awkwardly. Her face reddened immediately from embarrassment. She then slowly let go of Jade and looked down with her eyes closed.

Her cute actions almost made Jade pinch her cheeks. How could an older girl have such childish charm?!

"...Just to be clear. I wasn't buying it. I already knew for certain after all. Though, you could have possibly denied it before. However, that's out of the question now..." Jade finally spoke after a moment of silence.

Hearing her words, Freya's blush got more intense. She was cursing Iris in her mind. Only if she didn't suddenly get involved. She was considering cutting her off from her memories for a week as punishment. She was supposed to be her helpful fairy. Yet she only helped in digging her grave deeper. What kind of fairy was that?!

"I only watched by mistake I swear! I didn't even look at them for long! Please don't tell anyone" Freya immediately blurted out pitifully as she got on the ground begging.

"Oh? So you not only spied on me and Muku but also on him and Audrey? You're a lot more daring than I thought huh? Freya?" Jade spoke while feigning surprise. She has already figured out that Freya knew a lot more than she thought from how she reacted to seeing Muku.

If it was just about seeing the time when Jade stole a kiss. Freya wouldn't have reacted so intensely to Muku who was a victim in the matter. Her reaction was of someone who saw more... A lot more. She confirmed herself without being asked.

Hearing Jade's words Freya's expression froze. She finally realised that Iris wasn't needed when it came to digging a grave for herself. She alone was enough...

"Don't take it so seriously. I won't tell anyone. I don't even want anything in return. Just do something about your weird peeping habit. Also, can you not be so obvious with it? In fact, can you give Iris control for a bit? We have something to talk to her about. You can also avoid Muku for a bit longer as you get yourself together" Jade continued after seeing that Freya was close to a meltdown.

She didn't have any interest in blackmailing Freya or anyone else for that matter. She just wasn't that type of person... Unless it was Muku she had to blackmail. It was his fault for being so dishonest...

"... Okay. Sure. Thank you for not making it hard on me. And I swear it really was a mistake... At first. Anyway, I promise to never do it again" Freya spoke with renewed life in her eyes.

She didn't expect Jade to be so nice. She was ready to face whatever twisted punishment Jade had for her to buy her silence. As for why she thought the worst of Jade? Well, Jade kinda gave off mean-girl vibes, which scared her a little. However, it seemed you really can't judge a book by its cover... Or its poorly thought of name. Cough, cough.

Since Jade was so nice, Freya didn't have any resistance to giving control to Iris. It also helped her avoid Muku like Jade said. As for the topic they wanted to talk about, she'd find out soon anyway. So, without further ado, Freya switched places with Iris.

"Huh?" Iris made a confused sound. Which was understandable since Freya didn't speak to her first before the switch. She had also been cut off so she couldn't see what was happening outside.

The brat was really taking advantage of the superior position she had in their relationship. She'd just do whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted. At least she kept to her part of the deal, so, Iris could endure it with gritted teeth.

"Hey, we have something to talk to you about" Jade spoke the moment she noticed the switch. Along with the air around her, Freya's eyes would change a little bit when Iris was in charge. Which was pretty significant to Jade's super senses. 𝒏𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢

Without waiting for Iris to respond. Jade went to open the door and called Muku inside.

...

A while later...

"Hmm... So she felt like attacking him the moment she saw him? She also feels a high level of unwillingness to go to that base?" Iris spoke.

She didn't take long to adapt. And like before, she asked for a future favour for her help. Which was credited to Jade this time around. Then she listened to what the duo had to say.

"Yes... Is there anything you can think of from that?" Muku asked expectantly.

"Hmm, beast girl, let me see your aura again" Iris didn't reply to Muku's question but asked Jade to release a bit of her Beast Aura.

"O...Kay?" Jade felt a little confused but did as she was told nonetheless.

Her body was instantly enveloped by her beast aura which had gotten thicker when she got to R3. One could easily feel the animalistic vibe that came from the aura.

"Hmm... Oh? Who would have thought... This is rather interesting. Very interesting indeed. The plot just keeps on getting thicker and thicker" Iris held her hand out at Jade's Beast Aura.

She closed her eyes as she felt it with her hand. She even used some of the vocabulary she got from browsing Freya's mind. Which seemed rather funny to Jade and Muku.

Fortunately for Iris, Jade identified her as an ally otherwise Freya's hand might have been lost. Coming into contact with a much higher rank energy than her own was super reckless. Especially an aggressive energy like Beast Aura.

After all, the difference between a R3 and a Psuedo-R2 was way too big. Jade could literally kill Freya by just releasing her Beast Aura without even needing to cast a basic spell.

"So, what's wrong?" Jade who wasn't known for her patience asked. It was also quite annoying having to control her beast aura so that it didn't lash out at Freya.

"Oh, nothing much. Just that you're most likely a descendant of a supposedly extinct once extremely powerful warrior tribe. Also, there's probably a Monarch in that base... So, should I start preparing for our departure now or?" Iris spoke nonchalantly.

However, it was still very obvious that she wanted no part in the NL Base matters. The fairy was literally packing up Freya's clothes like she was really going to leave.

Muku and Jade were speechless. They literally didn't know what to say. The information Iris dumped on them was way too heavy!...
