"Can I really wear these clothes outside?" With the help of Luna, Leticia changed into this very youthful and lively outfit.
Pulling shyly at the hem of her skirt, Miss Demon King revealed an expression she almost never showed, her flushed little face like a ripe apple, making one want to take a bite.
"I didn't expect you to ever make that kind of face. You look much more pleasing than usual." Melanie sat nearby, resting her chin in her hand and nodding.
Glaring fiercely at Melanie, Leticia was like a little girl angry at her older sister. "Get lost!"
"Go out and let Little Lu see, and walk a few steps to check the effect." Melanie immediately felt much better seeing Leticia's embarrassment turning into anger.
Sure enough, the decision to prepare a few outfits for Leticia was correct. The current Leticia finally looks like a proper girl.
Who would prefer that sloppy shut-in over this current cute girl?
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, your outfit is quite safe." Luna gently removed Leticia's hand from where she was pressing down on the skirt. "Besides, you're wearing safety shorts."
"But I still feel so insecure!" Leticia was already regretting her choice. Why did she pick this outfit? The other skirt looked just as pretty, but at least it was long.
The length of this skirt was ridiculous, not even reaching halfway down her thigh.
Her two ivory-like, toned legs were conspicuously exposed to the air, making Leticia feel extremely shy.
"Your usual way of dressing isn't much different from this, is it? You were fine wearing that, so why are you shy wearing this?" Melanie was confused by Leticia's reaction. Leticia usually just wore a T-shirt, and she wasn't shy then, so what was there to be shy about now?
"Th-that's different!"
"It really is different. This skirt is longer than the hems of your other clothes, and you're wearing safety shorts now. Logically, this is safer, right?" Melanie began reasoning with her.
And that was indeed the case. Compared to Leticia's usual attire, this outfit could certainly be called conservative.
It was certainly better than an outfit that consisted of only two pieces of fabric in total.
"Stop being shy, go outside and let Little Lu see." Melanie walked over to Leticia, grabbed her arm, and pulled her toward the door.
"I haven't put on my shoes yet, hey!" Leticia stumbled from Melanie's pull, nearly falling onto her.
"Don't worry about sneakers, they're all pretty much the same." Melanie rejected Leticia's request and forcefully pulled her out of the bedroom.
Yori, who had been anxiously waiting outside the door, immediately rushed up when the door opened. The young girl approached Leticia and observed the completely transformed Leticia up, down, left, and right.
After observing, she gave Leticia a thumbs up: "You look super great, Quinn."
Leticia, who already possessed excellent natural beauty, perfectly embodied the old saying that clothes make the man and saddle makes the horse. Previously, she was like a pearl covered in dust, but now, all the dust covering her had vanished.
This globally rare gem was now freely radiating her light, and at this moment, Yori couldn't help but want to applaud her older sister's brilliant decision.
"Ahahaha..." Leticia laughed awkwardly. She had already seen what she looked like now in the mirror.
Just as Yori said, she was incredibly beautiful now, beautiful enough to rival Melanie.
Even though her life had been extremely decadent these past few years, and she had never had the awareness to maintain herself, Leticia, as the Demon King, still demonstrated how perfect the King of the Demon Race was.
"Quinn, stand still, I'm going to take a photo of you." Yori took out her phone and said to Leticia.
"Is taking a photo really necessary?" Leticia was resistant. She was afraid Yori might show the photo to people around her, especially Luca.
What if this Luca just happened to recognize her?
"Eh?" Yori looked at her older sister, seeking her help.
In Yori's view, as long as her older sister asked, Quinn wouldn't really refuse.
Although Quinn would likely still say she was unwilling, her actions would generally be, "Fine, fine, as long as you're happy."
The standard tsundere.
Only this time, Yori's wishful thinking came up empty.
Melanie uncharacteristically sided with Leticia, blocking Yori's request: "Just listen to Qianqian. Don't force her if she doesn't want photos."
"Not even one photo?" Yori was a bit disappointed, and at the same time, she grew curious.
Quinn not wanting photos couldn't possibly be just because she was shy, right?
If it were only because of shyness, her older sister definitely wouldn't have sided with Quinn.
"Little Lu, what were you planning to do with my photo?" Leticia shot Melanie a look that said, 'don't speak yet'.
Without Melanie interfering, Leticia was confident she could smooth the matter over.
Melanie understood Leticia's meaning. She took a slight step back, leaving the stage to Leticia.
Yori thought for a moment and replied, "Hmm, I guess I'd look at it myself, and then show them what you look like when I introduce you, Quinn, to my friends."
A very ordinary answer, consistent with Yori's usual style.
"That won't do." Leticia held up a finger and shook it in front of Yori's eyes. "I remember telling you, Little Lu, how your sister and I met, right?"
"Mhm, mhm. Quinn, you said you were a big bad guy before, and Sister was a superhero." Yori still remembered the analogy Leticia had used then.
"Little Lu, think about it. I used to be a big bad guy, so wouldn't a lot of people hate me?"
"Hmm, if Quinn was very, very bad, shouldn't there be very few people who hate you?" Yori's words were startling.
"Huh?"
"Super bad people like that kill without blinking, right? If you just kill everyone who hates you, then nobody would hate... Wait, Sister, why did you hit me?"
Yori was only halfway through her sentence when Melanie, unable to watch any longer, reached out and delivered a dose of big sisterly affection to Yori's little head.
"Ahem, anyway, the point is this: there are many people who dislike me, and if they knew you knew me, Little Lu, you might get implicated." Leticia said helplessly, clutching her forehead. That brat Yori has been getting increasingly naughty lately.
"Oh, oh, oh, I understand."
