Ailania slowly but surely tilted her head in total disbelief. Elves are often treated a bit differently by yokai society for much the same reason that witches are. They're not quite the same as the other yokai, you see. For witches, it's because they're too... human. They're not really monstrous enough. For Fae and Elves? Oh, sure, they are monstrous enough to qualify, but the principles upon which they operate are fundamentally different from other yokai.
Monster society is mostly built around creatures drawn from Japanese yōkai folklore - including western ideas as well, like vampires, werewolves, succubi, witches, snow women, etc. These monsters share a few cultural assumptions, like preying on humans for their flesh. They have a whole system of energy that they use to determine how strong a yokai is.
And Fae creatures do not operate by that system. At all. They make use of wordplay, contracts, 'can I have your attention?' resulting in the asked winding up with ADHD. That kinda system.
They don't really do lying. They don't really do deceit as we'd think of it. Wordplay, yeah. Manipulation and guile, sure. Being outright dishonest to someone? Nah. These are creatures that live off the emotional states of others. Some do love, some do hate, others do fear, or anger - whatever is the most passionate emotion one can feel, they can feed upon it, and this one was hungry- or if you prefer thirsty - for some loving.
"Oh wow, you caught me," she said, staring right at Ginei with genuine fascination. "You totally figured it out."
"He did?" Kokoa asked.
"He did?" Tsukune asked.
"I did?" Ginnei asked.
'He did?', the Level Upper wondered, but could not verbalise for it did not have a mouth. But it recovered quickly enough. Okay! Alright. In that case, let's analyse the situation here. At this moment in time, Gin, the lewd werewolf, was getting rather - shall we say - distracted from his supposed mission of using the Level Upper to Score Hot Ass. Now, granted, this mission was going to be rather more difficult than it might have been otherwise because he is an idiot, and he did give the game away much too soon, which means that the girls are much more wary of him.
All the same! The immediate problem was the Elf about to wig out and use her Glamour to mess with their brains. It should probably help him deal with that first, right?
Case in point, Kokoa suddenly grinding her butt right into Tsukune's crotch. Hot.
"Hey, if you leave my sis alone, I'll rock your world~" Kokoa said, completely out of character. "How about it, stud?"
"K-Kokoa?! What's gotten into - Eep!"
"Nothing's gotten into her yet," Ailania said. "However, it's quite clear this girl has a latent attraction towards you. I am simply.. Bringing it to the surface!"
Bold move pulling that stunt right in front of to S-Class yokai. Especially one that was actively in love with this dork. She wasn't anywhere near her full potential as a vampire, bear in mind, but all the same -
"Mine!"
She lunged for Tsukune hungrily, much to Gin's surprise.
"Uh, girls?" Gin said. "Priorities, maybe...?"
"They're not paying much attention to you right now," Ailania said. "Vampires are such creatures of passion. Mighty. Dominant. But also very driven by their emotional state. My glamour has bewitched them for long enough for me to make my escape. May I have your name?"
No no no no no! Don't do it, don't be that suave and cool person?
"You can have my number," he said, producing a business card. "Here, call me sometime - when you kick this evil habit."
Well, that's him lost that phone number now. Anyone trying to call him will get her instead. Meanwhile, Kokoa was putting some work into that lapdance, while Moka was going deep with that tongue. Good gracious, maybe the Level Upper had gone to the wrong person...?
It whispered desperately in Gin's ear: Go for 'dealing with Elves'. Please, for pity's sake, before you give away something else of value!
"Listen, I can't let you leave," he said.
"Ara, why not?" Ailania asked, pouring out some tea. "Would you like a cup?"
No, no, no! That was also a classic trick! Never accept a drink from an Elf! It's a really good way to get them to have power over you!
"I don't hurt women," Gin said, while the sisters were starting to take Tsukune's clothes off. "But I would really prefer it if you didn't mess with them like that. It's not a great plan. Moka's gonna kick you into the ceiling, it'll be a whole thing."
Ding! Dealing with Elves was now active! Alright, level 10 so far. Not great, but we should be able to get that up a bit more.
"Well, why should she?" Ailania pouted. "All I want is a harem of hot boys. You're welcome to join, if you like?"
"Thanks, no!" Gin said in a hurry. "If I'm gonna have anything to do with harems, I'm gonna be the one with a harem."
"Girls, could you please calm down?!" Tsukune yelled, but soon found himself tackled to the floor by the amorous sisters. Goodness, Mizore and Kurumu would be kicking themselves if they knew they were missing out on this.
"I could arrange it," Ailania said. "Point me at the girls you want, and I can play with their hearts and minds as easily as that. Just like that. They'd be all over you, and then your... manliness would surely persuade them to stay, yes?"
Ding! Level 15! He jumped a few levels there, because for once the werewolf was actually thinking ahead! If he'd said yes, there, it would have counted as agreeing to the deal! Trying to play to his ego to make him agree - sneaky sneaky!
"Sorry, but if I took your help to seduce a bunch of girls it would be doing a disservice to myself as a journalist," Gin said. "Not to mention the boys themselves. Where are they?"
Ailania pouted, and focused on him. "You're a pervert," she said. "You have many desires. Physical desires. You desire me as well, but you are not ruled by those desires as easily as them, despite being a werewolf."
"I don't think you understand how bad those girls want that boy," Gin shrugged. "Sorry, but you'll - " He stopped for a moment, as the Level Upper went 'ding'. "You'd have to work harder than that to get me to fall for my glamour."
"Is that so?" Ailania asked, leaning back in her chair. "Very well then. I shall tell you where the boys are. Take this key to my room. They are currently spellbound to construct a shrine to my beauty."
Gin stared at the key for a long, long moment, then back at her.
... "Fine," she said. "You have my full permission to enter my room and take them out."
"But only them, right?" Gin asked. She tutted in sheer disappointment. Only now did he take the key. For a moment there, he considered putting a stop to the increasingly raunchy fun going on next to him, but - "How long will that last?"
"Only an hour, no more," she said. "That is unless their passions run deeper than I - Oh dear. Now that I really look, those are some deeply passionate wells. It's for the best that he's not a human, or they might wear him out long before it runs dry."
Do not fuck with Elves. They will fuck with you in ways you are not prepared for. Gin nodded, got up, and then right as he was about to leave, the Level Upper dinged again.
He'd reached Level 30 just from that conversation. Nice. He turned his attention back to the pretty Elf, who was sipping at her tea.
"No tricks, no wordplay," Gin said. "My place tonight. I will rock your world, babe."
"Ara, ara!" she gasped. "Deal, handsome~"
The Level Upper had no arms, but it was fistpumping the air right now. Perfect! Now, let's get this sucker back on track - and transform this school for monsters into a paradise for perverts! One level at a time!
