Chapter 797 Testing
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
'I think they all look pretty good now, so this should be enough… right, Cynthia?'
The raven-haired girl hummed. "Well, I'll admit they're not as much of an eyesore as they used to be. No, to be honest… with you around, was this really necessary?"
As far as Cynthia was concerned, Emilia's appearance was the type to invoke extremely strong feelings almost instantly, whether it be lust or envy. And as long as she was willing to put in a little effort, only the most resolute of mortals might be able to resist her temptation.
Emilia couldn't help but giggle. 'Although I'm confident in my own charm, it doesn't hurt to increase our overall 'attack' power, does it?'
"They're just mortals, anyway…" Cynthia grumbled, but couldn't find a good enough reason to refute.
She had to admit, her partner's talent in figuring out what would look the best on someone was actually quite terrifying. Not to mention Sylvia and Crystal, who already had an excellent 'base', even the rest of the team was brought up to roughly the same level with just a few tweaks.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhether it was the dashing and handsome Robin, the kind and pure beauty Nico, the arrogant and proud Danielle, the innocent and holy Crystal, or the dark and mysterious Sylvia… each one of their unique charms was turned to the max, and Cynthia wouldn't be surprised if the 'dungeon boss' of the [Pillar of Greed] couldn't control himself and decided to just break out of his own zone to chase after them.
Emilia grinned. 'Besides, with all my teammates looking so good, my efficiency is also sure to be boosted, right?'
Cynthia couldn't help but roll her eyes. 'There is it, her 'the knights are only as motivated as their princess is pretty' reasoning…'
Even after suffering such a disaster in her 'original' world, how could Emilia still believe in this kind of nonsense?
No matter how she turned that boyish and rough Maeve into a delicate princess, no one even came close to reaching Emilia's level of 'stunning' in that world. And yet, was she not slaughtered mercilessly in front of so many?
Beauty could be a great weapon when used right, but it had its limits.
But although she thought so, the raven-haired girl couldn't bring herself to point it out and make her partner sad.
Anyway, with her around, Cynthia didn't believe anyone could trick her partner like that again.

"You want to 'test' it out…?" Danielle blinked, not quite comprehending what the crimson-haired beauty might mean.
Emilia nodded, looking quite proud. "Although I think I've done a good job, since everyone was already so cute, there's no way to be sure it actually made a difference without testing it on someone reliable."
The rest of her teammates stared at each other in blank dismay. Every time they thought that they'd gotten used to the whims and demands of their 'precious princess', she came up with something they never expect.
Unfortunately, since they'd already dedicated themselves to 'voluntarily' raise a princess, they could only bear it all with a smile.
Anyway, the goal of the day was to cheer Emilia up, and it could be considered a great success as long as she was no longer depressed about their 'failure' in the dungeon.
Danielle nodded after finishing her 'mental reinforcement'. "And how exactly do you plan to test it?"
"The best way to test one's charm is, of course, to try it on someone it would be the least effective against!" Emilia grinned.
Her words gave everyone a bad feeling, and as expected, the crimson-haired girl's idea was as 'stupid' as they imagined. historical
"You want to test your 'attractiveness' on someone who 'hates you for sure'…? And who could that be?" Danielle blinked, partially disbelieving, and partially amused.
When Emilia confidently uttered the name in her mind, Robin and Nico couldn't help but groan.
"You want Dolly to praise us?!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"That's impossible!"
Even Sylvia, who used to be the girl's 'best friend' would never believe that Dolly would praise any of them after their previous conversation. If anything, she would already be 'extremely polite' to not insult them in public again.
Danielle remained neutral, and only Crystal spoke up in her support. "Well, although it's unlikely for her to praise you… I don't think it will be difficult to judge whether your appearance has an 'impact' on her."
After all, even if Dolly could remain perfectly stone-faced, the blonde girl would still be able to figure out her real thoughts using her ability.
The rest of the team only thought she was talking about observing Dolly's expression carefully, though, but they were still convinced.
They'd only watched the crimson-haired beauty get more and more impossible to resist step by step, and yet were still almost led astray. For most people, it shouldn't be possible to completely resist having some strange thoughts.
Even for those who had no 'interest' in someone of her type, it was easy for their little princess to invoke their desire to conquer and keep a 'treasure' for themselves, even if it wasn't very 'useful'.
Knowing that their silence meant agreement, Emilia couldn't help but grin happily. "I can't remember what it was that they were going for, but their team should be returning to the city soon, right?"
"Well, whatever you wish, princess."
"Let's go."
Of course, she was betting on them heading back to an 'inn', and not having left behind their anchor crystals in the dungeon. After all, the temptation of money wasn't so easy to resist for most people, especially when no one even knew what rewards the 'event mission' would hand out.
Instead of 'wasting time', it seemed like the obvious choice to make the most money that they could during this 'golden opportunity', and then live as they like for the next few years.
What they didn't know, however, was that Dolly's team hadn't left the gates of the capital at all, and were eagerly waiting for their arrival instead.
