"Yiluodiya?"
I don't know what state I'm in right now. I feel dizzy all over.
It wasn't until Daisy came up to me and softly called my name that I snapped out of it. I sighed and regretfully lowered my head onto the table.
Daisy moved aside the breakfast that was on the table.
"What's wrong?"
"I have amnesia."
"What?"
Regarding what happened last night, from the moment the master agreed to sleep with me until I left her room the next morning, I don't remember much.
"Well, not exactly amnesia."
It's just that I was too excited and didn't pay attention to what it was like to sleep with the master. Was it soft? Was I being held? I don't remember clearly; at the time, I had no idea where my mind was.
"What is Lord Yiluodiya so troubled about?"
"I don't know if I should say it. It feels so embarrassing."
"Well, take your time to think about it. We'll be here with you."
Because I was too excited and couldn't fall asleep at all, the master got fed up and made me pass out, not by using any kind of magic potion, but through our contract.
Unfortunately, the master wakes up earlier than me, so I never had the chance to enjoy waking up in the morning with her embrace. I could only lie in bed and breathe in her warmth.
Finally, she woke me up.
"Ugh... What does it feel like?"
"Um... Can you tell us what happened?"
"Can you imagine? It was last night."
I sat up straight, but imagined the scene from The Little Mermaid and spoke in the same tone. As if imitating Ariel, I raised my hands off the table and fell back into the chair.
"What happened last night?"
"I... succeeded. No, I mean, I asked the master to sleep with me, and she agreed."
Surprise filled Linsi and Daisy's faces, but they quickly composed themselves.
"So, shouldn't Lord Yiluodiya be happy? Why are you so troubled?"
So, I explained everything I was thinking about to them in great detail.
After listening to me, they had a bewildered expression.
"Since you forgot, why not just sleep together again?"
"Once the first time happens, there will be a second time. Do you think the Demon Lord regrets sleeping with you after just one time?"
I nodded, as it made sense.
Since the usually unapproachable and arrogant master agreed to be with me, it means she is willing to sleep with me, and she must have mentally prepared herself for it.
Furthermore, when she pulled me out of bed this morning because I was being difficult, she had a smile on her face, without any signs of insincerity.
"Lord Yiluodiya seems a bit silly."
"But, it doesn't make us dislike you. Instead, we find it quite cute."
"Are you praising me or mocking me?"
I couldn't help it. Who made me so foolish? If someone like me, an idiot like me, were to be reborn as a girl in another world like in a novel, I would have been kidnapped or forced to become a prostitute by those with ill-intentions...
Just thinking about it made me shudder. I don't want to be touched by men.
"You're really adorable. The Demon Lord may have already been enchanted by you."
"The day the Demon Lord can't resist eating you won't be too far away."
"Mhmm... Mhmm..."
Why are they being so straightforward?
"A blushing face, avoiding eye contact, embarrassed to admit but unable to hide the excitement and anticipation in their heart."
"If it weren't for our positions, I think we wouldn't be able to resist either."
"You guys!"
I never thought that one day, my maids would tease me like this.
The maids covered their mouths and laughed, shaking with mirth.
Why do I feel regret for telling them not to be so restrained before? Now that they've let go of their status, they dare to joke with me.
Feeling frustrated and not knowing how to retort, I, a fearsome and deadly demon, a super weapon capable of annihilating everything, never thought that one day, I would be bullied by two weak maids."Sorry, Lord Yiluodiya."
"We apologize."
I grunt, "It's good that you realize your mistake."
But Linsi's smile doesn't fade at all, as if saying, "I know I made a mistake, but I will still do it next time."
"If Lord Yiluodiya remains so weak in front of the Demon Lord, he will never have control over the situation," Linsi approaches with a mischievous smile.
Why did Linsi suddenly become so assertive?
"I...I..." I never intended to take the initiative anyway.
An inexplicable sense of shame grips my throat, preventing me from speaking.
"I don't need...I don't need your guidance."
Using this excuse, I avoid Linsi, and Daisy giggles beside her.
"Enough, it's time for breakfast."
After finishing breakfast, Linsi and Daisy help me clean up the tableware.
I just sit there and watch them busy, feeling very happy. I've never been treated like this on Earth.
I won't help them. They just teased me earlier.
"By the way, Lord Yiluodiya, I think you should go and see Hif. She really wanted to see you after the battle ended last night."
"Yes, she complained to us about it."
When did Linsi and Daisy start speaking up for Hif? They couldn't have become friends, right? They live so close to her, after all.
"Alright."
I leave with Linsi and Daisy. They go in the direction of the kitchen with the tableware, while I head to where they live, where Hif also lives.
Of course, Hif wouldn't be fighting alongside me on the battlefield. Usually, she just lies in wait at a certain location and focuses on shooting.
The bullets she shoots with her magic explode within the human army like grenades. They are not very powerful, and there are powerful bullets too, but she says they take too long to cool down.
I admit that having Hif stay by my side partially stemmed from my soft spot for her, because she was the first human in this world to accept me.
If she wanted to be friends rather than pursue a romantic relationship, I think we would get along well.
I knock on the door, and after waiting for a while, Hif opens it. Excitement fills her face when she sees me outside.
I once suspected that Hif had some sinister plot, but now she is the most innocent and honest person.
"I've been waiting for you."
Without a word, she pulls me into the room and slams the door shut.
Why do I feel like we're having an affair?
No, I would never betray my master.
So I have to keep my distance from Hif. I free my arm from her grasp, and she turns around to look at me with a slightly resentful gaze.
"Why? Yiluodiya."
She seductively approaches me, and her prominent chest makes me feel very oppressed. I instinctively take a few steps back from her.
"Don't you want to experience the pleasures of the flesh? With your long lifespan, do you plan to continue this abstinence?"
"Just chatting."
I remain indifferent to Hif's enticing words.
Perhaps it's because she knows I feel some affection for her, and she took advantage of it earlier. Now she dares to openly tempt me.
"Just think about it, demons have a lifespan of at most 108 years, while you have a lifespan of over 300 years. Are you going to fall in love with someone? How will you resolve that?"
"It's not your concern."
"But you are so adorable. It's a waste not to have you lying beneath me."
"Tsk."
I give her a fierce glare. Why is everyone so improper?
My body and mind belong to my master. I would never betray her, and when it comes to lifespan, I will die together with my master.
Ignoring her seductive words, I sit on a chair by the dining table.
"Let me tell you, don't have any strange thoughts about Linsi and Daisy, or I won't let you off."I don't want these sisters to be harmed by Shiva's philandering hands.
"I know," Shiva sighed as she sat down across from me, "They're even harder to flirt with than you."
Here we go again.
Clenching my fists, I knew I was being foolish, but only the master could bully me.
"Alright, alright, I won't say anything anymore."
Noticing my displeased expression, Shiva immediately turned serious and poured me some tea.
"Please have some tea."
"Hmph..."
Although my expression was sulky, I honestly accepted the tea she handed to me.
Uh-oh.
I couldn't have predicted that my personality would develop in this direction. Where did this spoiled nature come from?
Frustratedly clutching the teacup, how did I acquire such a princess-like temperament?
No... it's not my fault. If anyone is to blame, it's the master. She spoils me too much, and I don't have to do anything except fight on the battlefield. This kind of indulgence would spoil any child, right?
Yes, it's not my fault, and it's not what I truly want either. Instead of complaining, I'd better just accept this change.
Coming back to reality, Shiva chuckled quietly.
"Now that you've seen me, there's nothing else, right?"
"There is!"
"What?"
"I... I feel lonely."
Shiva lowered her head, no longer smiling, and genuinely seemed melancholic.
But there's nothing I can do. Who told her to be so infatuated with me? And I have already made up my mind.
"Staying in your devil camp all the time, surrounded by devil people, I dare not go out. I can only make Linsi and Daisy urge you to come every day."
"You dare not go out? Shouldn't I be scarier than the devil people?"
"You're different!" Shiva raised her head and looked at me with serious eyes, "I can feel it. You're different from them."
I was a little shaken by Shiva's opinion of me.
"It's not about how many people you've killed, it's about the nature of it. Moreover, you're such a beautiful and lovely girl. I think you're not interested in killing, right?"
"So what? I will still conquer your human kingdom. Killing is inevitable in this process. I'm not interested in killing, but I don't dislike it either."
"It's okay, I don't mind. I won't hate you like other humans."
Touching the teacup on the table, the scorching temperature permeated my palm. Hesitating, silent, finally I opened my mouth.
"Don't pester me. We can be friends, but if you have any special feelings towards me, it's not possible."
"Is that so..."
Shiva's gaze dimmed.
Her desolate appearance was like a replica of Lin Daiyu, her brows filled with sorrow.
It's a pity that tricks like pretending to be pitiful or using seduction are not effective in front of me. I lightly tapped the table with my index finger.
"It's difficult to find a girl more beautiful than me. How about I pick a top girl from the devil clan to accompany you? If you're interested, you can try developing a relationship since you're single."
Why does it feel like I'm playing matchmaker?
But if I can divert her admiration for me, it would be for her own good.
"I want you."
Shiva instantly became angry, her small mouth puffed up, looking adorable.
This is really bothersome.
I can't be tied down to this tree, can I?
"Do whatever you want. In any case, it's impossible between us. If you persist, you'll only end up getting hurt."
"But I stayed in your devil clan for you. If I give up on my fundamental goal, what's the point of struggling to survive here?"
"I don't know."
The suppressed atmosphere made me want to escape from here. I stood up to say goodbye.
"You can think about it on your own."
