“You’re really the best to me, honey~”
Isabella’s eyes lit up at those words.
She suddenly leaned forward and wrapped her arms around Gabriella’s body.
Oh no. What if I let her get away with this?
But the moment she felt the Demon King’s warmth, her heart felt much more at ease.
I’ll just pretend she’s trying to cheer me up. I’ll forgive her this time.
Besides, Isabella hadn’t done anything wrong—she’d even asked for time off on her behalf.
Gabriella glanced at the clock.
It was already nine in the morning.
She got out of bed, lifting the covers.
Her pale feet touched the clean floor without making a sound.
She walked to the wardrobe and began changing, only to immediately face her second problem.
What do I do about the tail?
“Damn it, idiot Demon King,” she muttered to herself.
Gabriella felt awful.
This was the path she had chosen herself, yet her first instinct was to blame the Demon King.
But the fact that she could still blame the Demon King meant she hadn’t fallen completely, right?
If the evil god had fully corrupted her, she wouldn’t even think of resisting the Demon King. So in a way, this was very fortunate.
“Honey, let me help you get dressed.”
Isabella seemed to notice her trouble and stepped forward.
Gabriella had no reason to refuse.
“Then… help me into the maid uniform.”
“But today isn’t your workday.”
“I’m used to wearing it. I want to try…”
There were several styles of maid uniforms in the residential palace.
The thicker, more conservative ones had a diamond-shaped cutout in the lining, allowing the tail to pass through and remain hidden under the skirt.
The style Gabriella had modified herself, however, had an opening directly in the back of the light black dress, letting the demonic tail extend freely.
Isabella knelt gently, sliding stockings onto Gabriella’s raised, slender legs.
She fastened the garter buttons and ribbons to the waistband.
Her hand lightly brushed Gabriella’s thigh, ensuring the stockings fit perfectly against her skin.
Then Isabella held up the dress, measuring it against her body before leaning down to slip the light garment over her.
She moved behind the chair to tie the back laces, pulling the dress and soft lining snugly against Gabriella’s form.
When Gabriella’s tail passed through the opening, another wave of heat rushed to her face.
“Uh~!”
It wasn’t because she was some easily embarrassed wife!
This tail was just too hard to get used to!
Gabriella had no idea what counted as demonic aesthetics.
But ever since earlier, Isabella had been staring at her tail.
Gabriella helplessly flicked it to the side.
Isabella’s eyes followed, fixated on the beautiful heart-shaped tip.
Just as Gabriella considered giving the idiot Demon King’s head a knock, the other spoke first:
“You’re so beautiful, honey.”
“Wh-what are you saying?”
“Nothing else. I just mean you’re gorgeous—the most beautiful demon I’ve ever seen.”
“I’m not fully a demon yet?!”
“True, but you’re only missing the wings.”
Isabella patiently explained, “Soon, Gabriella won’t have any more worries. We’ll be able to love each other as equals, in equal forms… and have a beautiful daughter~”
Gabriella quickly covered her ears.
Every time the Demon King said things like that, her head started overheating.
Then, involuntarily, she remembered what they had done last night.
“Idiot Demon King, turning me into this.”
She shyly turned her head away and curled up. Only with Isabella’s comfort and support did she stand again.
All the while, the idiot Demon King’s tail kept trying to touch hers.
Like a tentative hand reaching out, seeking permission to hold hers.
Each brush avoided her most sensitive spots, yet inevitably reminded Gabriella of Isabella’s presence—and the heart slowly drawing closer.
Gabriella absolutely wouldn’t let the Demon King have her way.
Especially not with the tails.
At least this idiot was considerate enough to know she’d be tired today and support her as they walked.
“Becoming a demon must be really hard. I’ll definitely stay by your side.”
“It’s not that bad…”
For a moment, Gabriella remembered that this was all something she had asked for.
Being comforted now felt almost like humiliation.
So she forced an explanation:
“Isn’t it just so I can bear your child?”
“Hehe, you’re really the best to me, honey.”
“Idiot. Is there any other human in the world willing to become a demon for you and bear your children?”
“Of course—only Gabriella~”
“Uh.”
In the end, Gabriella chose silence.
She realized she couldn’t outtalk Isabella.
The woman hadn’t even become that much more forceful lately, so why did she suddenly feel so hard to deal with?
Gabriella secretly glanced at the idiot Isabella.
She looked pretty happy.
Of course she is.
She got her way.
Damn it. It’s because she has no idea about my plan!
At that thought, the tail Gabriella had flicked behind her suddenly felt something soft.
She tried to pull away, but the Demon King’s tail had already coiled around it.
“Gu…”
“Your tail is so cute, honey.”
….
“D-don’t say such weird things!”
“Mm~”
And just like that, their tails tangled together.
The heart-shaped tips tentatively probed, pressing and rubbing against each other, occasionally forming a full heart shape.
Before she knew it, things had escalated!
But Gabriella decided it didn’t matter. She wasn’t petty.
It didn’t feel too strange, so whatever.
In the end, it was just to make Lady Isabella happy~
Gabriella’s mood improved a little.
It was absolutely not because the Demon King was comforting her in a very strange way!
It was only because she realized becoming a demon was just gaining a few extra organs and sensations that humans didn’t have.
“Lady Gabriella?”
In the hallway, while still tangled with Isabella, they ran into the Saintess Loli.
She covered her mouth, looking delighted.
Tilting her head, she immediately noticed Gabriella’s and the Demon King’s intertwined tails. Her face flushed red.
“So cute, Master Gabriella…”
Is that really something a Saintess should say?
Please, you’re supposed to be humanity’s hope…
As expected, the [Spring of Purity] still dwelled within her.
Shouldn’t her first reaction be to lift the curse?
And Isabella’s response surprised Gabriella too.
“Mm~ I think so too, Loli.”
“As expected of the Demon King—such excellent taste.”
The Saintess smiled behind her hand in agreement.
It was like they’d planned this!
Gabriella had been wondering how to repair this idiot fairy’s sword body and send her back to the human side.
Now it seemed she’d already become the Demon King’s accomplice?!
