"Why would it be hers? Can't it be someone else's?" Leticia was unconvinced. Why must it be Melanie's account that she borrowed? "Maybe it's the Commander's?"
"Because the only girls you have a relatively good relationship with in the Human World are that Miss Xia and Sister Bai. My intuition tells me that whenever something comes up, the first person you think of is definitely Sister Bai."
Indeed, when the idea of borrowing an account to read manga popped into Leticia's mind, the first person who jumped out was Melanie, and the Commander was only thought of after she had already borrowed the account.
In the end, Leticia's explanation won her little sister's approval. After leaving behind the remark "Even if you're reading manga, don't read for too long," Kira left Leticia's room to go about her own business.
Our princess was not as idle as Leticia; she had to handle urgent official documents sent from the Demon Race every day, and when she encountered matters she couldn't decide on, she even had to come and ask Leticia to make the decision.
And today, Kira had encountered such a troublesome matter.
Barely ten minutes after leaving, the young girl with furrowed brows returned to Leticia's room. "Sister, it seems like something has happened on the Elf Race's side."
"In the face of the things you've caused, everything else doesn't count as a problem, right?" To this good sister who threw a Fire Moth into the forest, Leticia felt that no matter how big a matter was, it was a small matter.
You've almost razed their home to the ground; what could be bigger than that?
Did the Empress die suddenly?
That's also a small matter. As for that mascot Empress, if she's dead, she's dead. A three-legged frog is hard to find, but two-legged elves are always easy to find, and isn't her sister a very good candidate?
"I don't know the specific situation, but the Imperial Guard near the Elf Race's Ancient Tree of Life is moving frequently, and other armies also have unusual movements; they might be planning something." Kira decisively ignored her sister's teasing; she was talking about serious business, okay?
"They have to mobilize eventually, otherwise those guys will probably grow mushrooms." Leticia indicated that it wasn't a big problem; she sometimes liked to let those armies that had been idle for a long time move around a bit.
The Elf Race hasn't fought a war in so many years, so it's very normal for them to let their own armies move a bit; there's nothing incomprehensible about it.
Besides, how miserable is the Elf Race right now? With such serious internal troubles, if they had external threats too, they would probably be in danger of extinction. Isn't it a quite normal thing to mobilize the army at this time to provide some deterrence to those who are restless?
"I feel like there's no need to overthink it; even if their brains were broken, they wouldn't make a move on us first." Leticia held her non-existent chest and said confidently, "Just have those guys at the border make some preparations, just in case."
The Elf Race is a notch below the Demon Race in hard power; for them to proactively launch an attack on the Demon Race would be no different from throwing an egg against a rock.
Therefore, this wave of movements by the Elf Race is likely not aimed at the Demon Race; Leticia believed this.
"Then, should we tell Sister Bai about this?"
"Her? Why tell her?" Leticia immediately stated that this was intelligence collected by their Demon Race; why should they just give it away for free to this human, Melanie?
Even close brothers have to settle accounts clearly, let alone the two of them from different factions.
Even when it came to matters related to gods, Leticia wouldn't necessarily share intelligence with Melanie; for example, Leticia hadn't mentioned Flora's matter to Melanie.
And like this kind of small friction between races, Leticia and Melanie were opponents on this matter; how could opponents share intelligence?
"Mm, I understand." Her sister's stubbornness didn't surprise Kira; she knew that her sister had always been such a pigheaded girl.
"There's nothing else, right?"
"Nothing else... When are we returning to the Demon Race?" Kira had just wanted to leave, but on a whim, she asked this.
Yori's enthusiasm these past two days was a bit too much for her to handle; running around outside all day, Kira felt exhausted.
"What 'half-price milk tea for couples,' 'free photo booth for couples,' 'couples' combo meals'—is Yori that short of money?" Kira asked, very confused.
As Melanie's younger sister, why did Yori like taking advantage of merchants so much?

Over the past two days, Yori had dragged Kira along to fleece every shop that offered couples' discounts. I really don't know where this young girl finds out about so many stores running promotions.
"Oh? A couple? Has my little Ohara finally found someone she likes?" Leticia asked, looking curious. If she let Yori become her sister's... uh, is 'husband' the right term? Wait, what should you call your sister's wife again?
Leticia's somewhat meager knowledge base left her unable to find the right term, but she absolutely approved of her sister liking girls just like she did.
What about the Demon King's bloodline?
All one can say is that magic can sometimes accomplish some very miraculous things, such as allowing two women in love to bear offspring.
At times like this, please shout "Long live magic!"
"I'm not like you, Sister. Even if I were to look for a lover, I would only look within the Demon Race." Kira's opinion of Yori remained much the same as before: just an annoying, yet somewhat cute, young girl. "I think she just wanted to take advantage of some small discounts."
After all, Kira seemed to be the only friend Yori could drag along with her.
As for Leticia, Yori felt she couldn't cuckold her own sister.
Eriko? That girl was still recuperating and, furthermore, very resistant to going out.
Looking at it this way, wasn't Kira the only one left on Yori's shortlist?
"You never know. Maybe one day, Kira, you'll have a change of heart."
"Before that happens, I think you, Sister, will be the one conquered by our pretty Sister Bai first," Kira retorted, narrowing her eyes.
She still considered herself hard-hearted for now, but her sister's attitude toward Melanie had clearly softened significantly. Hadn't she seen her sister sleeping with Melanie yesterday, and today, she was casually using Melanie's account to read manga?
If one day Leticia came to her senses and decided to stop being a tsundere, then Kira believed that the progress of the relationship between Melanie and her sister would absolutely advance by leaps and bounds.
Honestly, in Kira's eyes, Leticia's resistance to pretty girls was really quite low. If one were to use a human analogy, a completely uninhibited Leticia would absolutely be a tyrant on the level of King Zhou of Shang or King You of Zhou.
Fortunately, Leticia hadn't let go yet; she was still acting like a tsundere.
"Impossible! How could I possibly be with her!" Leticia immediately slammed the table to express her stance of being at odds with Melanie. "Isn't she just a bit pretty? In what other aspect is she worth me liking?"
"That head filled with lewd thoughts? Or her personality that's ridiculously explosive? I'd rather find a cat to keep me company for the rest of my life than find her."
"Speaking of cats..." Melanie's calm voice came from outside the door, bringing Leticia's impassioned speech to an abrupt halt. "I brought you a new pair of headphones."
The white-haired girl held a small box, standing quietly at the doorway like a fairy detached from the world.
