Bell originally thought that Gabrielle's ancestors had successfully fused with the bloodline of some Magical Animals with Allure Magic.

But what did he just hear? Gabrielle's grandmother is Veela!?

Therefore, magic is magic, and science is science.

If those biologists knew that someone could actually mate with a creature completely different from humans and successfully have a child, they'd probably shave all their hair.

"What's wrong, big Gege?"

Gabrielle looked at the older Gege beside her strangely, feeling that there was something subtle about his gaze just now.

"Cough cough, no, it's nothing."

Bell would never tell Gabrielle that for a fleeting moment he considered taking Gabrielle back to examine her body.

Confused, Gabrielle dismissed the fleeting sense of unease as her own imagination and continued her aggressive confrontation with Hermione.

Of course, her mouth didn't stop either.

"Eat, eat, eat! All you ever think about is food! Get this little guy under control right now! Otherwise, you're not allowed to eat anything!"

Seeing the two figures, one large and one small, moving and looking in perfect sync, Hermione, unable to do anything to Gabrielle, could only point her gun at the larger one.

"Look at you! You're covered in cheese, don't you even know how to clean yourself? And did you even wash your hands before touching me like that? And also..."

Bell, who was caught in the crossfire, looked completely bewildered.

So he was just trying to help Hermione out of her confusion, so why did he get scolded?

Bell inwardly expressed strong condemnation of his girlfriend's behavior of discarding him after she had served her purpose.

Suddenly, Bell's ears twitched. He raised his hand to stop Hermione's rambling and turned to look in the direction they had come from.

After a while, Bell looked down at Gabrielle, who had once again eaten cheese all over her face and hands.

"If I heard correctly, your sister has come looking for you."

"Really!?"

Gabrielle's eyes lit up.

Although she always acted carefree, how could she not feel uneasy after getting separated from her older sister at such a young age?

It's already quite an achievement that you didn't cry, okay?

"Gabrielle ~! Gabrielle, where are you~? Come out quickly, Gabrielle ~!"

Sure enough, a short while later, a voice, filled with anxiety and tinged with a sob, drifted over from afar.

"It really is my sister! Sister~! I'm here~!"

Seeing her older sister in the distance, Gabrielle waved her little hands vigorously and jumped as high as she could, hoping her sister could see her.

"Gabrielle!"

Soon, Gabrielle's sister heard the little girl's cries and ran over quickly.

"Sister! Sister! Look! I found myself a brother-in-law!"

Gabrielle watched her sister run over, happily patted Bell beside her, and had a smug look on her face that said, "I'm awesome, right? Praise me!"

...゛(ノ><)ノ

However, the expected praise did not come as planned.

Upon hearing Gabrielle's astonishing remarks, Phoebe stumbled and nearly fell flat on her face.

She grabbed Gabrielle from Bell's side and stood in front of her sister, watching Bell's bewildered expression warily.

Of course, from Phoebe's perspective at that moment, Bell's expression looked sinister no matter how you looked at it.

Bell realized that he probably shouldn't have come out today.

So in such a short time, how many accusations has he taken the blame for and how many times has he been implicated in the crossfire?

If this continues, he might even be eligible to run for the title of "Hogwarts Pot King".

"But Gabrielle, are you sure this is really your sister?"

Looking at the woman in front of him wearing a wide-brimmed sun hat, large black sunglasses, and a large white face mask, Bell asked Gabrielle with some concern.

Is this some big star? They're covered up so thoroughly! Is it even possible to tell who they are?

"Of course, this is my sister— Phoebe. She has a very unique and lovely scent; I would never mistake her for someone else. Big Gege, come and smell her too, she smells amazing!"

Gabrielle said happily.

At the same time, she was also holding her sister's hand, as if she wanted to pull her sister to Bell's side so that "brother-in-law" could have a good sniff.

Phoebe stared at her younger sister in disbelief. She was only just realizing today that her sister had always been able to identify her by her scent?

"Are you a dog?!"

"Ahem! Um... I don't need to smell it, as long as you can confirm it."

Just kidding, even if you gave Bell a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to actually smell it under his girlfriend's murderous glare.

At most, I'll think about it...

"Hello, Miss Phoebe, my name is Bell Menethil, and these two are my sister Shanna and my girlfriend Hermione."

After confirming the other person's identity, Bell took the initiative to introduce himself.

Furthermore, Bell emphasized his words when introducing Hermione's identity.

There was no way around it; Phoebe's hostility was just too obvious. Even through those big sunglasses, Bell could feel the wariness practically overflowing from her eyes.

"Hello, thank you for saving my sister."

After staring at the three for a while, until Bell got impatient and continued eating Banitsa, Phoebe finally realized that the three were probably not bad people.

The main reason for the positive reaction was Shanna and Hermione. If it had only been Bell, considering Gabrielle's earlier remarks, Phoebe would probably have already pulled out her Wand and started a fight.

"It's not that dramatic, we just happened to run into each other and had something to eat together."

Bell waved his hand.

He is very uncomfortable with people thanking him, as if it makes him seem like a "good person".

Doesn't he realize he's no longer the single guy he used to be?

"Then, Mr. Bell, could you please stop cramming your mind directly into my head?"

Phoebe glared at Bell.

She wasn't the naive Gabrielle; she was about to enter seventh grade at Beauxbatons and knew about Legilimency.

Although this was the first time Phoebe had ever seen a usage like Bell's, where one directly conveys their thoughts to others.

But having experienced having her memories Legilimency in class, she would never mistake this repulsive feeling.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party saved her sister, and because the other party used Legilimency on her, Phoebe would never have let it go!

"Sorry, I just did it out of habit."

Bell stopped Legilimency and apologized to Phoebe.

His action was completely subconscious; he had no intention of offending the other person.

"What did you say?" (in French)

Phoebe looked at Bell, puzzled. Why was he suddenly being so uncooperative?

"..."

"..."

A moment of silence descended upon the arena, with Bell and Phoebe staring at each other, creating an extremely awkward atmosphere.
