Tap, tap, tap…
After thinking for a single second, Holly tiptoed into the Lady’s room.
“Oh my~ I swear…” Veil pouted a little because she couldn’t eat right away, but still followed behind the Holy Sword Bearer into the room.
The moment she entered, she saw the Bad Woman lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.
The next second, a pair of black gem-like eyes sparkled with a mischievous gleam~
Well… maybe she could…
“Hey… did Senior Veil see anything just now?” Holly asked subconsciously, but got no answer from Veil.
She turned around in confusion, only to see Veil standing in front of the desk in the room, her back to Holly, searching for something unknown.
Holly scratched her head.
Well~ Senior Veil being unreliable wasn’t anything new… but since she was already in here, what should she do now?
Should… she lift the blanket and take a look? But wouldn’t she get beaten to death by the Lady afterward?
It probably… wouldn’t come to that, right? It wasn’t like she hadn’t seen her during their baths together…
No! No! What was she thinking… the Lady couldn’t possibly be na… ahem.
Thinking this, Holly took a deep breath and slowly grabbed the corner of the blanket.
Rustle, rustle…
But the next second, there was a sudden squirming inside the blanket.
“?!” If she had paid attention to the upper area, she would have noticed that the Lady, who was currently feigning sleep with her eyes closed, had a vein unconsciously bulging on her temple.
“This is…” Though Holly was a bit confused, she still slowly lifted the blanket…
However, she had only just lifted a corner when she discovered something underneath the blanket.
She subconsciously reached out and pulled it out, only to find…
It was a black lace nightgown.
Huh?
Holly stared at the nightgown in her hand, falling into silence.
Could it be that the Lady really did have a habit of sleeping in the nude?
And if she lifted the blanket… only to find nothing inside, would she be beaten to death on the spot?
And while the Holy Sword Bearer was frozen in a daze, she failed to notice that the Former Saint had already taken a feather pen from the desk and, with a slight curl of her lips, approached the Lady’s bed.
The Goddess had this idea before.
To draw a little turtle on that bad woman’s face~
Isn’t this the perfect opportunity now?
Whether it was the state of her deep sleep or the scapegoat standing right beside her…
Hehe… An evil smile gradually appeared on Veil’s face as she carefully and quietly climbed onto the bed, believing herself to be silent…
Just as she was about to make her move—
Whoosh—!
A pale hand suddenly shot out from the blanket at that moment, and in the next second grabbed hold of Veil’s collar!
“Huh?!” The Goddess was briefly stunned, her face instantly contorting into an expression of absolute terror! Then her entire upper body was directly yanked into the blanket!
“Mmph!! Mmph mmph mmph—!! (Hey! Where’s my backup?! Someone save me—!!)”
Thud!
The sound of the feather pen hitting the floor drew Holly’s attention.
When she turned to look, she discovered… Veil, whose upper half had already been “eaten by the blanket.”
“Veil… Senior Veil!? What are you doing?!”
“Mmph! Mmph mmph!!” Watching the other girl kicking her legs with all her might, Holly seemed to notice the key point!
The thing in the blanket… was going to eat Senior Veil!?
Thinking this, Holly quickly grabbed hold of Veil’s ankle.
The “monster” inside the blanket and the girl outside were like they were in a tug of war!
But… the one being tugged on was obviously suffering much more.
“Mmph! So strong! Senior Veil! But I… I will definitely save you!!”
“Mmph mmph… (Just let go already TAT, my leg’s about to snap…)”
Whoosh—!!
A terrifying pulling force suddenly burst forth!
Holly managed to withstand the pressure, but unfortunately… the Goddess’s stockings couldn’t hold up.
Riiip!!
“Huh?!” Thud…
The Holy Sword Bearer fell right on her bottom, left holding only a pair of cute little shoes that seemed to be only size thirty-something…
Along with some torn remnants of stockings…
When she looked up again, all she saw was that pair of little feet, now motionless, being completely devoured by the Lady’s blanket…
“Ahhh!! Sen—ior—Veil—!!”
Whoosh! Smack!
“Ouch!” The next second, Holly’s head suffered a heavy blow!
“What are you screaming about in the Lady’s room this early in the morning?” A voice suddenly came from behind her—it was Amisa’s…
“Master!” And Holly, as if finding her pillar of support, completely ignoring the lump on her head, spun around and hugged her master’s slender waist.
“You… what exactly is wrong?”
Amisa looked at her disciple in bewilderment, her gaze confused.
“The blanket… the blanket ate Senior Veil!!” The Holy Sword Bearer spoke incoherently, pointing at the blanket on the bed, then at the shoes the Goddess had “left behind” on the floor.
Ate her?
Even though every word was clearly audible and made sense individually, when combined with the current scene…
Rumble!!
A dull thunderclap suddenly sounded outside.
The dark clouds seemed even thicker, making the Lady’s room feel even more eerie.
After Holly’s more detailed explanation, Amisa frowned slightly in thought, then drew some conclusions subjectively…
The cause of this incident might be the influence of the Lady’s [Ability to Influence Emotions]!
“If this continues, there will inevitably be more victims. Go close the door.”
Amisa turned her head to look at her disciple and instructed in a low voice.
“Ah… yes!” As expected of Master! So calm, absolutely reliable!
Having confirmed this, Holly quickly walked toward the door…
But she failed to notice that her master’s gaze, for some reason, was looking at the Lady’s blanket with something so sticky it was practically stretching into threads…
Being eaten… would probably be… thrilling♡?
Should she… try it?
And what was the Lady feeling right now…
One could only say… “attacked from both sides.”
Holly’s earlier cry of shock seemed to have already woken Reliel…
At this moment, the other girl was tightly hugging her left arm, looking very nervous.
And the twin-tailed maid was currently hugging her right leg in a strange position… and for some reason… the girl kept rubbing against it, refusing to stay still…
In fact… Yumina, just to avoid Holly’s inspection, had even gone so far as to take off her nightgown and…
This girl… she was definitely going to be punished severely later!
And that stupid Goddess, currently passed out, held in her arms… Why were all the people around her so rebellious?!
What to do? If this was exposed at a time like this… how would she explain it?
No wait, she was the Lady… sleeping with her maids was normal… right?
Probably?
While she was inwardly panicking, Ileya suddenly noticed that Amisa, who had just arrived, had—for some reason—ignoring the “danger,” reached her hand toward the “man-eating blanket” in front of her!
Looking like she wanted to test the waters herself…
Ugh! Forget it! Let it be exposed then!
It wasn’t like she was new to being a playgirl anyway!!
And just as Ileya gritted her teeth, preparing to come clean…
At the door, Holly was about to close it when a fair hand suddenly stopped her.
She looked up in confusion and met a pair of gentle, water-like eyes.
This was…
“Hm?” Lady Shudrian tilted her head.
She had come to find her daughter for their morning exercise together, but… she instead discovered this somewhat unfamiliar Holy Sword Bearer in her daughter’s room.
“Are you… Yaya’s newly hired maid?” Lady Shudrian said, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly into a warm smile as gentle as spring.
“Ah… Hello, I am…”
Whoosh!!
“Tsk! I’m done pretending! Cards on the table… Ugh (°口°)—!?”
Before Holly could even finish her self-introduction, a familiar, boisterous shout came from behind her…
Of course, no sooner had the sentence been halfway spoken than it was cut off abruptly, as if someone had a stranglehold on her throat.
What… the hell?
As Holly turned around in a daze, she discovered that the Lady had already gotten out of bed, and…
The “man-eating blanket” had also been thrown open.
Inside, besides Senior Veil who had just been “eaten”…
There were actually two more people…
Those were… Sister Reliel and… Miss Yumina!?
Wh-what?!
Had they been hiding in the Lady’s blanket the whole time?
But… no matter what Holly was thinking at that moment, it no longer mattered to the current Lady.
Because she had already lost all color, having completely burned out the instant she saw Mother standing at the door…
“My oh my…” Lady Shudrian’s eyes went wide as she covered her mouth with her hand.
Looking at her daughter, wearing only a pair of underpants, and… the three girls on her bed.
Lady Shudrian first blinked “innocently,” sweeping her gaze across the other girls present.
Yumina… that was understandable; the two had grown up together since childhood, so sleeping together now was no big deal…
Veil… ever since this little maid had arrived, she’d been doted on endlessly by her Yaya; the two were often together before…
But little Lily… Lady Shudrian gave her Yaya a complicated look.
It was as if everything had been expressed, yet nothing had been said at all.
“Yaya… I… there are some things I really shouldn’t interfere with too much, but… at your current age, you must be careful to practice moderation~”
“Huh?” Ileya subconsciously opened her mouth…
But before she could say anything…
“Little mercenary?! When did you crawl in here!?” Finally able to see the light of day again, Yumina pointed at Reliel in front of her in shock.
“You crawled in. I was here the whole time.” The little mute glanced sideways at the twin-tailed maid, her expression calm as she spoke.
“Ha?! Are you trying to assassinate someone?!”
“Heh.”
While the two were arguing, Ileya quickly put her nightgown back on and walked over to her mother with a grave expression.
“Um, Mother… let me explain.”
Just as she looked up, however, she saw her mother… with a thoughtful expression on her face, which then turned into one of sudden realization, followed by surprise as she looked at her.
“Yaya… could it be that you like girls?!”
Huh?!
Ileya was first stunned in place, then subconsciously nodded.
“Ugh… Then… how am I supposed to hold my little granddaughter?!” Lady Shudrian felt as if a thunderbolt had struck her out of a clear blue sky!
That dream from yesterday, of a group of little Yayas calling her grandmother…
Was gradually losing all its color.
