Novel Full 938 An Impending Disaster
“Since you came in bad faith, don’t think I’ll be nice~” Sylvia grinned and put on black gloves.
“Please don’t be impulsive, miss. This may be a misunderstanding. Please wait, graceful lady. We are virtuous and have manners.” Blake backed away to take a safe distance. He immediately looked for a way to escape but knew the exit was sealed.
“Please cooperate and tell us everything about your plot. We will be nice if you obedient like a good boy, hee~” Dori licked her lips and went to help Sylvia intimidate the bad guy.
“Yes, you will tell every single thing. I’m afraid you can’t leave before we are satisfied.” Sylvia rubbed her hands together.
“Wha- what?” Blake kept backing away until he hit a wall. He had met more than a thousand beauties in various cities and regions, but this was his first time feeling intimidated by girls.
It was as if these girls would devour him with no bones left. His secret was exposed, and the devil princess inflicted mental pressure on him. His fate was doomed even though he had no time to do anything.
*Gulp*
“Princess Evelyn, please help me! Please tell your friends that this is just a misunderstanding!” Blake turns to his only acquaintance, the weakest in the room, for help.
“I didn’t expect you to have a demonic charm amulet. You probably teamed up with an evil demon or Ruvoid Avatar. We originally wanted to play a little game, but now we need to know everything.” Evelyn snorted in disgust as she stared at this young man.
“If I get hurt, my father won’t let this go!” Blake looked for a way to escape and immediately ran towards the balcony.
However, he couldn’t even open the glass door. The entire room was sealed with magic. Therefore, he immediately took out a magic item to salvage his current predicament. He came for beauties, but he was scared because of them now.
“Why the rush to leave, mister? Xentia can’t give you permission. Sit over here and please be obedient or you will get hurt.” Xentia shackled the boy’s movements with light magic. She couldn’t let any possible threat move at will.
“You can’t run away~” Sylvia took out a black whip.
“Ugh, no, no! What do you want to do, devil!” Blake grew paler when the devil princess approached. He tried to break free from the shackles of light, but he was just a tiny Intermediate warrior. He could not escape the clutches of two Saint-level pressures.
“Yes, I am the devil~” Sylvia chuckled, then started to do an interrogation with the other girls.
“Hmm?” Elysia stared at the palace with a clueless gaze. She could feel Evelyn’s group was having a little fun, but she had no idea what they were doing as she had no intention of seeing further.
“Serenity is so nice.” Yuuki rested her head on Elysia’s lap and monopolized the head pats just for herself.
They were in a traditional restaurant building, sheltering under a beautiful white tree. They sat beside the fish pond, enjoying light snacks.
“We are lucky to find a place like this in the downtown area. I heard that the owner of this traditional restaurant is a powerful figure. No one dares to cause trouble in his place.” Elysia stroked her lovely fox lady’s head, then combed those fluffy snow-white tails one by one.
“Mm, it’s just like the peaceful country side. We seem to be separated from the hustle and bustle of the city there.” Yuuki glanced at the bustling city in the distance.
“If you expect a peaceful and quiet place, downtown area is not an option. I know a place that might-” Elysia had not finished speaking, but Yuuki pressed a finger to her lips.
“Master, you are mine now. I will guide you wherever I want to go. We will do a lot of things because this is an open date, not an elope.” Yuuki expressed that with a wink, then pressed her finger to her lips.
“You naughty fox. See how I tickle you.” Elysia smiled in amusement and tickled Yuuki. Seeing Yuuki’s cold expression melt into such a naughty devil was lovely.
“Kyah, master, hehe… Rub me more~” Yuuki held Elysia’s naughty hand.
“…” The surrounding maids went speechless. It was unusual for a customer to order the entire top floor, but this one was a girl-and-girl couple? The human and the beastkin at that! Or, maybe, it was a bonding affection between the master and the contracted beast? They were bound for life, after all.
“This is the first time I’ve seen such a loving master and contracted beast. Moreover, I’ve never heard of a human’s contracted beast capable of taking on a demi-human form.”
“Shh, keep your voice down. The contracted beast with that capability is definitely at Saint-rank or above. That princess only showing her love for her partner.”
“Yeah, that’s a natural thing for the master to pet their pet. I often fondle my big fluffy cat at home too.”
“Wait, girl. Watch your words. No people fondle their cat like you do, that’s petting. You’re just a pervert.”
The maids exchanged words in a whisper-like voice.
“…” Vanessa looked at Yuuki with a bit of envy. She couldn’t join and snuggled there because the current moment was Yuuki’s reward. Therefore, she could only vent her jealousy by taking some food from a nearby serving table and eating three fish cakes at once.
At that moment, Vanessa noticed a black cat hanging on a banner across the street. She thought the black cat was a pro climber doing his things, but the poor fellow was hanging on by the mere tips of his claws, almost falling.
She had no idea how long ago that poor fellow had been there, but she could tell he was scared to fall. Therefore, she took a small piece of fish cake, then threw it at that black cat’s paw, giving a helping hand.
*Pang*
The poor fellow released his last grip in surprise and fell down. “Meeooww!”
“It’s only three meters. A cat wouldn’t die just from falling from that height. I give you courage, and don’t thank me.” Vanessa went to the corner and peered down.
Sure enough, that poor fellow was fine. He only looked angry because someone had ambushed him all of a sudden. Nevertheless, he bit the fish cake and hurried down an alley.
“Why do I feel something strange about that black cat? Is he a spy cat? He tried to climb that tall building to spy on us but failed miserably?” Vanessa mumbled to herself and returned to her master’s side. She reported on what had just happened and received a head pat.
“Curse you, white cat! Why did they come to this capital city at this time? I thought this would be the right place to stage a grand opening, but this isn’t good. Our preparation today is for naught. We need to go to the other big city for that. Number Two, Three, And Six have already fall. It’s time for us to strike back.” The black cat grumbled in annoyance. It was hard to be a cat, and now everything was ruined.
“Our opening shall be grand and festive. Just consider you are lucky, lowly humans. We will go elsewhere for slaughter and massage, err, massacre. It’s not just not just one or two cities. Every place will get their turn at the right time, kekeke…” The black cat dispersed into the mist and vanished from that secluded alley.
Vanessa reports what just happened to her master and gets her share of a head pat.
‘Ely, I also feel a familiar energy breath coming from there. However, it feels a lot weaker and fainter than some of the Ruvoid Avatars we’ve encountered. Perhaps, it is the avatar’s little minion clone?’ Ai also thought the same thing as Vanessa.
‘Is it? I also feel something strange, so that is the cause. However, if that black cat is evil, what does he intend to do here?’ Elysia asked in wonder. She scanned the surroundings with her sacred vision. she couldn’t detect the presence of that black cat around.
‘You don’t need to look for that little fellow. He has run away for fear of being discovered by our secret protectors.’ Ai glanced at the nearby table. A group led by the Goddess of Blessings was there, enjoying their snacks unnoticed by the maids.
‘I see, I’ll be sending Doll One on an investigative mission after this.’ Elysia no longer tried to find the whereabouts of the black cat. She knew an impending disaster was imminent.
“Master, let’s go there. It looks like a fun place.” Yuuki pointed at a building down there. Since the enemy had already fled, they didn’t need to chase after it.
“Hmm?” Elysia checked what kind of place caught Yuuki’s attention.
It was a two-story building, a fancy-looking store that catered to hosting parties for nobility. However, that store highlighted the wedding ceremony on the front.
“Weeding organizer store? Yuuki, are you?” Elysia was surprised and blushed slightly.
“Hmm? Weed, wedding? It’s still too soon, master… I pointed at the shop over there, the beauty salon.” Yuuki became embarrassed, too, when he realized what Elysia meant.
“Ahem, alright, let’s go. However, why do you want to go to the beauty salon?” Elysia looked Yuuki up and down. Her snow fox looked gorgeous and well-groomed from top to bottom because Yuuki received the best treatment with her. Hence, the beauty salon was redundant.
“I want to be a well-refined noble lady like Luna. I could ask her to teach me how to dress up to look charming, but I want to see how human nobles conduct themselves too. Let’s go there, master. It’s getting quite busy with the duchesses.” Yuuki pulled Elysia’s hand, and they left from there, hand in hand.
“Oh, my, fufu~” Luna was pleasantly surprised. She became a role model for Yuuki, or maybe Yuuki just wanted to fulfill the first requirement to learn fox race illusion art.
