Chapter 11

W-what the hell is this!?

Lisbeth jumped when suddenly hugged. Worse, she couldn’t escape the embrace. Why? Her hands were stuck where she’d touched…

Damn, trapped by such a soft trap. Hmph, as an opponent… it’s so soft…

Anyone seeing Lisbeth’s expression now would call it lewd. The woman holding her, noticing her silence and muttering, asked curiously, “Merlin, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you talking?”

How could she speak? One sound would expose she was a woman!

Since the other was female, her rendezvous partner must be male. Luckily, her identity wasn’t spotted. Staying silent and escaping was best. But Lisbeth’s quiet didn’t stop the other. Seeing no reply, the woman suddenly let out a faint laugh.

“Hehe, my little Merlin’s shy~ No matter. I just want to hear your shy voice~”

“Eh!?”

As the words ended, a hand climbed Lisbeth’s chest, gently kneading it. The other hand, which had held her waist, slid slowly downward—nearing a dangerous spot.

“Huh!? Merlin, your chest grew so much since we last met! I must inspect it properly!”

Hey! So her rendezvous partner was originally a woman!

No wonder Lisbeth thought the other should’ve noticed holding a girl, even in darkness. But now she understood. Her situation worsened fast.

“Hnn… mmph…”

In seconds, one hand neared forbidden territory. The other kept kneading her chest slowly, forcing a strange sound from Lisbeth.

Damn, why was this woman so skilled at kneading breasts!!!

Lisbeth had urgent business. Despite the sound, she stayed focused. The woman’s odd move freed her waist. She took a deep breath and shoved hard.

“Whoa!”

The woman yelped in surprise. Lisbeth, free at last, dashed forward without looking back.

“Flash!”

“Tch.”

Lisbeth’s sudden move raised suspicion. The instant she was pushed, the woman cast a Level 1 Flash spell. But Lisbeth anticipated it. She shrank her body the moment she shoved.

“Huh? No one? What happened?”

After the flash, the woman stared in confusion. Shrunken and hiding in a corner, Lisbeth clearly saw her face. She muttered with lingering fear, “Damn, almost done for. Trouble now—shrinking magic only works four times a day. Using it again would mess up my prison return.”

But Lisbeth wasn’t timid. Safe now, she patted her chest to calm down. “Well, well. At least I’m fine. But I’ll remember this woman.”

After memorizing her face, Lisbeth didn’t look back. She hurried toward the Treasure Vault…
