"Heh," I heard Yorunozuki Senpai let out a soft chuckle, as if she knew something. "It’s not for any other reason that I know."

Huh? What’s going on?

I wanted to ask but held back. I really wanted to ask how she knew what I was thinking, because…

Psychic-type Monsters are terrifying! (with a wry expression)

"Simply because—"

Wait, don’t say it. I think I know the answer… And Yorunozuki Senpai’s lips curled into a strange curve! Is she…

Smiling?

"Almost every new girl who joins the Student Council shows the same expression," Yorunozuki Senpai said, suddenly stopping ahead. Then she whispered quietly,

"Is she coming again…?"

Huh? Not quite catching her words, I turned my gaze toward her.

And then—

"Yoru-chan~ You’re back!" A lively voice burst from the nearby room. The adjacent door exploded open with tremendous force. A slender figure flew out, clinging to Yorunozuki Senpai.

"You’re finally back, Yoru-chan~ Come on, mwah! I’ve waited so long for you!"

Huh? My expression stiffened. What’s happening? Why is another senpai rubbing against Yorunozuki Senpai?

She hugged Yorunozuki Senpai’s slender waist tightly. Her beautiful golden-curled head burrowed into her chest like a little hamster searching for treasure.

Yorunozuki Senpai’s icy demeanor instantly crumbled. She looked like a mother helplessly watching her spoiled child.

"Fifi, behave. Don’t always act like this."

Hearing this, the golden-haired senpai lifted her head, pouting into Yorunozuki Senpai’s eyes. "Yoru-chan’s being tsundere again. Haha, such a cute Yoru-chan."

It felt like a golden hamster begging its owner for attention. (with wide, innocent eyes)

"Enough, Fifi," Yorunozuki Senpai chided gently, though her tone held no real blame. "Put away your tail. Others are watching."

"Eh? I smelled them long ago. It’s just our cute little one, right, Misty?" The golden-haired senpai suddenly turned toward me. Behind her, something swayed left and right.

A tail?

I refocused. Yes—it was definitely a tail.

The barbed tip revealed not only that this senpai was a Monster but also her species: a demon.

"Oh my, the little one knows my identity," she said, seeing my expression shift. She released Yorunozuki Senpai’s waist and hopped to my side. Before I could react, she leaned in close, smiling straight into my eyes.

"My name is Felicia, but my true name… hehe, I can’t tell you yet. I’m what you Demon Hunters call a demon—though we don’t mind that term."

"But I’m also a merchant. At my shop, you can trade for anything you desire. Seeing as you and Drake—"

"Ah! Ow ow ow, Yoru-chan, why’d you hit me? It hurts! (teary-eyed) My Yoru-chan’s gone bad."

Yorunozuki Senpai withdrew her fist from Felicia’s head and bowed slightly to me. "Sorry for the embarrassment, Misty. Fifi, forgotten last time’s lesson?" The last part was clearly for Felicia.

"Mmm…" Felicia instantly flustered, as if recalling a bad memory. Her body relaxed, and she stood docilely aside.

Watching them as a Demon Hunter, I’d almost forgotten my identity.

Though remembering it wouldn’t help. I can’t beat either of them anyway. I’d just get myself killed easily. (teary-eyed)

From the demonic aura I sensed on Yorunozuki Senpai from the start, I knew she wasn’t an ordinary Monster. She must be a being just below the Vampire Queen Thousand Feather Sister.

As for this newly appeared, eccentric Seductive Senior Felicia, her tail holds all the answers.
