"Humans, did you hear a strange sound?"
With her big, watery eyes wide open, one arm held by Shizuka-chan and the other by the maid Arianna, Athena, lying in the middle, suddenly spoke.
"Athena-chan, you can't talk when you're sleeping!"
Feeling that this little loli sister was too cute, Shizuka-chan rubbed the other's face, speaking in the tone of an older sister teaching.
"Sleeping? I don't need such a boring thing. I'm asking if you heard a strange sound, in the room next door, it seems to be the sound of that witch."
"It's strange, why do I feel a strange sensation when I hear her strange sound…"
Although her divine power was sealed, Athena's perception was still countless times stronger than that of ordinary people. Listening to Erica's strange sound constantly echoing in her ears, Athena actually found that her heart instinctively accelerated its beating, and a strange feeling arose, so she asked with a puzzled expression.
Uh, although she was known for her wisdom, it didn't mean she knew everything. For example, Athena didn't know what was happening in the room next door at this moment…
"Um… Athena-sama, Sora-sama and Erica-sama are doing something important. Let's go to sleep quickly."
Hearing Athena say this, the maid immediately understood what she meant, and her face turned red as she spoke in a low voice. Images of Sora-sama and Erica-sama "fighting" in her mind made the maid feel extremely shy.
"Bastard Onii-chan! Damn Onii-chan! H Onii-chan…"
Although she was simple, Shizuka-chan naturally knew what was going on. Hearing Athena say this, she seemed to vaguely hear those "strange" sounds herself, and immediately buried her little head in the quilt, her eyes teary, constantly complaining in her heart…
"Important thing…"
A hint of suspicion appeared on Athena's face. Looking at the two human girls, Athena always felt something was suspicious…
…
"Reporting to my lord, the Heretic God Athena has been eliminated by that King Sora."
In a dimly lit and luxurious room lit by candlelight, Liliana knelt on one knee, reporting respectfully to the old man on the throne, Marquis Voban.
Sweat was already sweating in her palms. Deceiving a Demon King was a great sin, and having witnessed the methods of this Demon King many times during this period, Liliana knew without thinking what the outcome would be if her lie was discovered by the other party.
She could have told Marquis Voban the truth, but even the girl herself didn't know why, she somehow blurted out a lie.
"Is that so? It seems that young man does have some skills."
A hint of regret flashed in his wolf-like green eyes, but old Voban didn't react much, still propping his head with one hand, looking lazy.
He didn't suspect anything. Old Voban never thought that the girl in front of him would dare to deceive him. This was an absolute confidence he had possessed since becoming a god-slaying Demon King.
"Forget about Athena. Let's continue with our original plan. The alignment of the stars, the movement of the earth veins, and the last thing…"
"The remaining preparations are all up to you, Liliana Kranjcar."
A bloodthirsty and cold arc curved at the corner of his mouth. His restless body already made old Voban feel that his battle was coming soon.
"Yes!"
Seeing that Marquis Voban didn't ask about Athena anymore, the girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and prepared to withdraw.
"As a knight, would you also like these things?"
Just as Liliana was preparing to withdraw, Old Voban suddenly spoke, his emerald eyes fixed on the silver ring on the index finger of the girl's left hand.
God Slayers all possess the ability of photographic memory. Old Voban was very certain that the girl did not have this ring on her the day before.
Her heart couldn't help but pound fiercely, but the special training she had received since childhood to remain calm in the face of unexpected situations allowed Liliana to maintain her composure and show no signs of abnormality.
"Go down, don't delay the important matters."
Seeing the girl standing without replying, Old Voban said in a bored tone. In fact, he had just said it casually and had no intention of caring about this knight girl's personal preferences or private life.
"Liliana takes her leave."
Performing a knight's bow, Liliana exited the room.
"Hoo…"
Looking at the starry sky and feeling the cool breeze on her face, the girl let out a long sigh.
Just for that short while, her back had been soaked with cold sweat…
To be honest, Liliana really disliked her current life. Every day was spent in suppression and tension, fearing that any small mistake she made would anger the capricious and eccentric old Demon King, and not knowing when she herself would become one of the members of the Death Servant Squad.
However, she was a knight. Whether for herself or for the entire society, she had no other choice.
Looking at the silver ring on her finger, a trace of complexity flashed in Liliana's expression…
…
"It seems I've done something incredible again!"
In the morning, the first thing he saw upon opening his eyes was Erica, her smooth little head still resting on his body. Sora immediately muttered to himself with a twitching face.
Replaying the memories in his mind, Sora suddenly realized that he greatly admired himself…
Bullying Pandora, capturing Athena, eating Erica… Well, Sora admitted that if it weren't for that strange state, he would never have done these things!
However, he did do them, so…
Let it be!
He had bullied, he had captured, he had eaten, what else could he do? Life goes on, right?!
"Hmm… Is it already dawn…"
Muttering twice, Erica also slowly opened her eyes.
Last night, she had been tormented terribly by a certain "brutal" Demon King. It was her first time being so wild, and if she hadn't used healing magic, Erica didn't know if she would have survived. But even so, she now felt her whole body sore and weak, as if it were about to fall apart.
"Ha… haha… Good morning, Erica."
Although he said it with some guilt, there was nothing he could do. Sora still bit the bullet and greeted the girl.
Things had already happened, and he wasn't someone who would just wipe his mouth and deny it after eating.
Besides, his relationship with Erica had already been made clear, and this day was bound to come sooner or later.
Although Sora himself hadn't expected this day to come so quickly!!!
"Oh King, has your memory been sealed again?"
Although it was still the same person, the temperament was vastly different, so Erica immediately saw that Sora had returned to his usual self. A strange light flashed in her emerald eyes, and she immediately propped herself up and smiled wickedly.
"Uh, I guess so…"
Looking at the alluring scenery on the girl's body, Sora couldn't help but swallow and replied.
"Hehehe, since you did it, you have to take responsibility, my Demon King!"
With an even wider smile on her face, Erica directly leaned in and kissed Sora…
