165: Eve-Eve, Don't Look Back, It's Amya
"Noren-chan."
"Hm? What's up?"
At the mansion's dining table, Lina and Noren were sitting together, enjoying the breakfast Lola had prepared for them.
However, Lina's gaze kept drifting toward the guest room upstairs, her expression somewhat peculiar.
"Say... why haven't Evelia and the others gotten up yet? Usually when Evelia stays over, she's always the first one up."
"Hmm... you're right. That is weird. Even if things got too intense during the bath last night, she went to sleep so early that she should've been up by now."
"Should I... go check?"
Noren tilted her head. She was also getting curious now, so with the thought of snooping on her bestie's gossip, she used her Authority to conjure a small bat. Just like last night, the moment it was created, it wobbled its way toward the upstairs.
However, the bat hadn't even made it to the stairs before someone grabbed it by the wing.
"Huh? Eve-Eve? You're awake?"
That's right, the person who had snatched Noren's familiar was none other than Evelia, who had just gotten out of bed.
Except, at this moment, her face showed none of the vigor that should come after a full night's sleep. Instead, she looked utterly exhausted, as if she'd just survived a war.
And Amya, who was quietly hugging her arm from behind, looked absolutely brimming with energy.
"...I am never letting you appear behind me unchecked again."
Evelia turned her head with a resentful look and glared fiercely at Amya.
She had assumed that after last night, when Amya had pushed her luck so far she'd nearly devoured her completely, she would be a bit more restrained today. Surely she wouldn't try anything first thing in the morning, right?
But reality had proven her gravely mistaken. She'd grossly overestimated Amya's refractory period. In fact, she was starting to suspect that Amya didn't even have such a thing.
After putting her through all that last night, how was she still this energetic this early in the morning!?
Evelia simply couldn't understand it.
And the most crucial point was that when Amya got perverted, she truly didn't care about time or place!
Evelia had actually woken up about an hour ago. But just as she was about to wash her face, Amya, who had somehow emerged from the blankets without her noticing, suddenly appeared behind her.
Followed by a ghostly whisper: "Eve-Eve, don't look back, it's Amya"...
As for what happened after... let's just say those who know, know. No need to elaborate.
And that was precisely why Evelia, who should have come down for breakfast an hour ago, had been dragged into another hour of delay by Amya before finally making it downstairs.
"Pfft... it seems your relationship... has taken another great leap forward~"
At that moment, Lola emerged from the kitchen carrying milk and bread. The moment she saw Evelia's exhausted face, she laughed rather unkindly, teasing Evelia while she was at it.
In response, Evelia could only roll her eyes.
"Umm... Miss Evelia and Miss Amya really do have such a wonderful relationship..."
Alice poked her head out from the kitchen at this point, cheeks flushed as she stole a glance at Evelia and Amya, speaking somewhat shyly.
Seriously girl, why are you blushing like that?
What? Did Miss Lola make you her plaything too?
Evelia, who had absolutely no idea that Alice had secretly watched the bathroom play last night, couldn't quite understand her reaction. But having just experienced her first time, she almost immediately imagined the worst.
But she couldn't entirely be blamed. Looking at Alice with her flushed cheeks, acting all shy and hiding behind Lola like a timid girl, anyone who didn't know better would definitely get the wrong impression.
And while Evelia was starting to fantasize about inappropriate maid-related scenarios, Amya had already slipped over to the dining table, chatting happily with Lina.
"So? How was it, Amya? My idea was pretty good, right?"
"Mm-hm! Thank you for the assist, little Lina! From now on, you're my sworn sister! Come to me if you ever need anything!"
"But Amya, you still haven't completely won Evelia over yet, right? Let me tell you, next you do this... and then that... and finally like this..."
"Oh~"
"Hey! I'm still right here!"
Finally, faced with their brazen collusion, our demon princess couldn't take it anymore. She angrily ran downstairs and delivered a firm "caring sister's concern" right on top of Lina's head.
"Ow!"
Lina clutched her head in pain, then looked up with a deeply aggrieved expression, blinking those watery golden eyes at Evelia through teary vision.
But Evelia wasn't falling for it.
"Lina, you ungrateful brat! Did you forget who risked her virtue to save you last night? And you turned around and sold me out!"
"I didn't, Evelia! You're just being stubborn! I only gave you and Amya a little push forward!"
"I... I am not being stubborn! If I didn't agree, I didn't agree! Where's the rule that says I have to accept just because she confessed?"
"But isn't that just being stubborn?"
"I... I..."
"...Alright, alright you two. Argue after breakfast. If you don't eat soon, the milk will get cold~"
Seeing that Evelia was about to explode, Lola quickly stepped in as peacemaker. And when Evelia noticed the steaming hot milk on the table, her whole body trembled.
For no other reason than the fact that seeing milk reminded her of what happened in the bathroom last night. It was truly a memory too mortifying to look back on, yet somehow strangely alluring.
"Ahem, Lola's right. Why don't we change the subject? For instance... the aftermath of last night's battle. How did that go? Didn't you go handle it, Lola?"
Noren also spoke up at this point, rather uncharacteristically asking Lola for a report on last night's aftermath.
Given her lazy personality, she would normally never concern herself with such matters after delegating them to Lola.
But this situation was special. She had to figure out how to salvage her reputation with her sister-in-law!
"Yes, last night's situation was more or less what I anticipated. The Watchers and the Church are going crazy right now. Two great mages capable of casting super-tier magic openly bombarding each other on the city outskirts... they must be both furious and terrified."
"As for the ordinary civilians who accidentally witnessed the anomaly, please rest assured, Your Highness. I've personally visited each and every one of them. That should help take some pressure off the Watchers and the Church. However..."
At this point, a troubled expression appeared on Lola's face.
"The upper echelons of the Watchers will almost certainly be sending someone down..."
