Chapter 6

"Speak! Who gave you permission to enter my room?"

The sweet smile that had just graced Christia’s face was gone. Only icy eyes remained, glaring coldly at Lisbeth—as if her gaze alone could freeze her solid. Seeing this, Lisbeth hastily shook her head. "Th-that… I just thought it wasn’t good for Lord Demon King to still be in bed at this hour. So I volunteered to wake you up!"

"Wake me up? What you just did was waking me up? You dared to impersonate my mother! Don’t you know that alone is enough for me to beat you half to death right now? Hero Alex—no, Lisbeth!"

"N-no! It’s not like that! I didn’t mean to! It’s because you kept rubbing against my soft chest and calling me ‘Mother’! So I just went along with it…"

BOOM!!

WAAAAH!!!

Before Lisbeth could finish, a pitch-black orb slammed into the spot where she’d stood. Luckily, she dodged in time. Otherwise, that single blow would have crippled her.

"Who would rub against your vulgar chest?! Don’t think your big chest makes you special! When I grow up, mine will definitely be as magnificent as Mother’s!"

"N-no, that’s impossible. I swear on my honor—even after two hundred years, your chest won’t grow an inch. Ah…"

…

As Lisbeth’s words trailed off, Christia fell completely silent. A sense of impending doom washed over Lisbeth. Her whole body—and her fluffy fox tail—tensed up.

"Lisbeth…"

"A-ah! Yes!"

Seemingly affected by Christia’s terrifying silence, Lisbeth snapped to attention at her name. She didn’t dare say an extra word. But it was too late. Christia’s face had already broken into a breathtakingly beautiful smile. Her next words made Lisbeth’s soul nearly leap out of her body.

"Lisbeth, stand still right there~ I’m going to cut off those vulgar breasts of yours right now!!"

WAAAAAAH!!!! Help!!! The Demon King is killing me!!!"

"Stop right there, you damn Buxom Fox!!!"

The moment Christia finished, Lisbeth bolted out of the room. Christia, now in full-blown rage, took a deep breath and chased after her.

"Lisbeth! What have you done th—"

"Old hag, get out of the way! I’m about to be killed!!!"

As soon as Lisbeth fled the room, she saw Hilda standing outside the door. With no time to spare, she dodged around Hilda and dashed out of the Demon King’s Fortress hall.

"Wh-what on earth is going on!?"

Just as Hilda stood baffled, Christia burst out too. "Hilda, perfect timing. I order you to capture that damn Buxom Fox across the entire fortress! I’m cutting off her breasts today! That’s all!"

"Huh?"

After the order, Christia continued chasing Lisbeth without pause. Head Maid Hilda remained frozen in place, utterly clueless and unsure what to do…
