Confess System: Picking Up Girls After Girls, Try Not to Get Killed!

Chapter 252 Vanessa’s Mis-Calculation

Surveying the scene from Branch Chief Pamela's perspective, Vanessa could, in fact, comprehend her previous actions.

However, this didn't mean Vanessa was prepared to forgive her.

"Neglecting a noble is a grave offence... Branch Chief Pamela." Vanessa's words were laced with a stern undertone.

"Miss Vanessa, your magnanimity knows no bounds, I beseech you to be generous." Pamela bowed even lower, her head almost touching the ground.

Seeing the contrite Branch Chief, Vanessa's anger subsided, but that didn't mean she was about to let this slight slide without recompense.

After a few moments of contemplation, Vanessa had an idea.

"Branch Chief, where are all the members who came to join the labyrinth raid team currently staying?"

"They are all staying at the Red Leaf Inn, it's the best inn in our Delis Town."

"Good, then I command you, by the end of today, have the Red Leaf Inn cleared out. From then on, only the labyrinth instructor, myself, and Lord Wallace who will arrive soon, are allowed to stay there."

Vanessa deliberately issued such a difficult command.

First, she wanted to punish Pamela, to ensure she would never dare neglect her again.

Second, she wanted to embarrass the youth named Felix. Vanessa was planning to go to the Red Leaf Inn and watch as Felix was evicted.

On hearing this demand, Pamela looked distressed. She stammered for a while before reluctantly agreeing to Vanessa's terms.

"Miss Vanessa... then... I will go and negotiate with the Red Leaf Inn now, I hope you can quell your anger."

"Alright, you should go now."

.

Vanessa strolled leisurely down the street towards the Red Leaf Inn, accompanied by her three doe spirits.

The fact that the labyrinth instructor was Ice Polestar · Sheryl had given her quite a shock, but it wasn't necessarily a bad thing, as Sheryl was, after all, someone Vanessa had once considered "family".

Vanessa was confident that even if sister Sheryl wouldn't help her, she certainly wouldn't harm her.

Now, Vanessa's primary objective was to give the young man named Felix a taste of his own medicine.

As the saying goes, enemies often cross each other's paths. Vanessa had believed she wouldn't cross paths with the young man again, only to discover he was also participating in the labyrinth raid team.

If she didn't retaliate, Vanessa wouldn't be able to establish her footing in the raid team.

As Vanessa walked, she ran into Captain Garvit, who was also on his way to the Red Leaf Inn.

"Miss Vanessa, are you heading to the Red Leaf Inn?"

"Yes, are you staying there?"

"Yes, all of us participating in the raid team are."

On hearing Garvit's response, Vanessa nodded with a satisfied smile.

"Garvit, later everyone staying at the Red Leaf Inn will be evicted, but don't worry, I'll let you continue to stay."

Vanessa couldn't hide her satisfaction, and Garvit, not fully understanding, nodded and thanked Vanessa.

Afterwards, Vanessa asked Garvit what he had been up to. Garvit replied that he had been concerned about his "Pegasus Sasa" being lodged in the stables. He was worried the Delis Town stable hands wouldn't know how to take care of her, so he had gone to check on her.

"A Pegasus, no wonder you arrived earlier than me. Your cavalry corps is really generous this time."

Vanessa couldn't help but sigh. She too, wanted a flying mount.

"Yes, the mission to raid the 'Aqua Nest' gives a sense of an underlying issue."

Garvit responded to Vanessa's comment, but she didn't pursue the topic.

Regardless of what the "higher-ups" were thinking, her goal was to gain the power to return to the Snowy Hart family through the labyrinth.

"How is the Pegasus doing in the stables?" Vanessa changed the subject.

On hearing this, Garvit's face fell, and he even sighed in front of Vanessa.

"I apologize, Miss Vanessa, I was too nervous and couldn't control my emotions."

"What happened? Is the Pegasus sick?"

Vanessa was somewhat aware of the value of a Pegasus. The entire Emerald City Cavalry Corps only had three. If they weren't taken care of properly, even as the captain of the First Cavalry Corps, he would be held accountable.

"No, that's not it... It's just that... Sasa seems to be quite happy in the stables..." Garvit looked distressed as he spoke.

"Eh, isn't that a good thing?"

"It is a good thing... but the problem is... she's only been here for less than two days, and Sasa has taken a liking to a warhorse named 'Moto-chan'. If anything happens... it won't be easy for me to explain when I go back..."

Garvit's woes made Vanessa burst out laughing.

"Oh, what's the big deal? Just have them stay separately, right?" Vanessa suggested, trying to lighten the mood.

"I did just that, but I don't know why. I'm still worried," Garvit confessed, his anxiety evident.

Patting Garvit's armor in consolation, Vanessa said, "That horse named 'Mot-chan' has such a peculiar name, it's unlikely anything will transpire. You shouldn't worry needlessly."

Garvit admitted that it took him asking the stablekeeper three times to understand the peculiar name.

He was left wondering what the owner of the horse was thinking.

.

A good ten minutes later, the duo arrived at the entrance of the Red Leaf Inn.

The muscular man who had previously spoiled Vanessa's revenge was once again in her sights, angrily holding his luggage as he exited the inn.

"If they won't let us stay, then so be it. What's with the attitude?!" The muscle-bound man grumbled a few times before he walked away.

Vanessa was secretly delighted. She wanted to see Felix humbled by the power of the nobility. She wondered if the annoying boy had already been kicked out.

Afraid of missing out on the exciting scene, Vanessa quickened her pace. At that moment, she saw Felix and the white-haired girl carrying a heap of things.

— (Perfect! I made it in time!)

Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Vanessa put on a nonchalant front and approached them.

.

Vanessa had hoped that Felix would notice her first and initiate a greeting. However, Felix, appearing oblivious, did not notice Vanessa at all.

Left with no choice, Vanessa initiated the conversation.

"Hey, young archer, we meet again." After Vanessa spoke, Felix and the white-haired girl named Heloise finally stopped.

Felix stared at Vanessa for a few seconds and furrowed his brows.

"Who are you?"

This question nearly made Vanessa clench her fist in anger.

"We've met before on the road to Delis Town. Don't you remember?" Vanessa asked, containing her anger.

"Oh... I vaguely remember. What can I do for you?" Felix's dismissive attitude was continuously testing Vanessa's patience.

But for the sake of her noble facade, Vanessa held back her anger and posed a question that served as a critical blow.

"You've just been kicked out of the Red Leaf Inn, haven't you? Would you like me to intervene on your behalf?"

Upon hearing this, Felix and the white-haired girl exchanged glances, then turned to look at Vanessa in confusion.

"Miss, you might be mistaken. We don't stay here. We're just passing by."

At this response, Vanessa was taken aback.

Didn't Branch Chief Pamela say that all those participating in the labyrinth raid were arranged to stay at the Red Leaf Inn?
