Miss Demon King, Please Endure a Little Longer - Volume 3 Chapter 17

Chapter 17: I Want to Pick a Flower…

***

Still laughing! It’s all your fault!

Aira didn’t actually fly up, she just took off as the captain. Now that the flight has ended, she feels completely drained, without an ounce of strength left, lying in the girl’s embrace gasping for breath.

Don’t ask which girl’s embrace, if you ask, then… I’ll ask you back which side you’re asking about, the front or the back.

No, how did this become like the forest battle, with the healer supporting from the front and the camper assassin going crazy with output from behind.

If it weren’t for the obvious pair of softness pressing against her own softness on her chest, Aira would have thought she never left that day.

“So early this time, how useless.” Lia deliberately complained with a coquettish tone while nuzzling, “Or is it because you missed me too much?”

Hiss, don’t nuzzle, don’t mess around.

Aira had no strength left to speak. The Saintess also noticed this, so she could only give her a kiss: “Then let’s sleep. Good night~”

A sweet sunny scent on her face, but soon, another cool kiss was imprinted on the other side of her cheek.

The person behind seemed unwilling to leave.

Hot in front, cool behind, Aira was exhausted to the point of near fainting. In the moment before losing consciousness, she thought — won’t I catch a cold when I wake up tomorrow morning?

Zzzzz

The elven race moved up their departure time. They originally said tomorrow, but today they didn’t want to stay any longer and urged the kingdom to quickly gather people and set off.

“I really can’t stand it anymore. Every breath of air in the human kingdom is filled with greed, ignorance, and arrogance.” Trika said while pinching her nose, “I really want to go back quickly.”

The other few followed behind in silence.

They knew that Trika wasn’t really unable to tolerate the kingdom’s air, but because she had been angered these past few days. First, the little fool Sylithea was tricked into revealing information, then that big-breasted girl called Aira demanded an outrageous price, and she was even left speechless by Macken.

Having lived for over 200 years, when had she ever suffered so much grievance.

Regarding the elven diplomatic mission’s request, the kingdom didn’t have many objections. After confirming the requirements, they sent a guard to the camp to notify the girls.

Celeste said with some difficulty: “We haven’t assembled today yet. It’s impossible to depart immediately. We’ll notify you after we gather.”

After dismissing the guard, Celeste returned to the camp and looked at the empty sofa in the first-floor hall, feeling somewhat at a loss for a moment.

Aira and Miss Lia went to the church and wouldn’t be back for a while, which was normal.

Vina was still sleeping in. She did this every morning, so that was also normal.

The only abnormal thing was Zero. The assassin girl only slept less, never more, but today she uncharacteristically couldn’t get up, which was really strange.

Just as Celeste was thinking this, she heard tap-tap-tap footsteps on the stairs.

“I just saw people from the royal palace coming from the window.” Zero asked her, “Is there something going on?”

“Yes,” Celeste quickly entered business mode, “The elven diplomatic mission hopes we can leave with them today.”

She didn’t explain the reason, but it didn’t matter whether it was a day earlier or later.

“Then let’s go.” Zero picked up the paper and pen from the table and left a note for Vina, “We’ll go to the church to find Aira and Miss Lia.”

As for the little witch, she would come over together after waking up and seeing the note.

…

It’s said that people only truly know themselves when they lose their freedom.

Aira felt that when she was sandwiched between two people last night, she had no freedom at all, and in that moment, she came to fully recognize herself.

With two people already like this, there was still the repressed Sword Saint who kept her true self hidden, and the little witch who feared the world wasn’t chaotic enough. If they all found out…

At 10:30 in the morning, the newly awakened Aira broke out in cold sweat.

She remembered what she thought at the beginning last night — no sacrifice is too great to accept.

There is, there definitely is.

It was close to noon now. Lia got up very early, watching the sunrise religiously every day. As for the undead who had been holding her from behind all night, she had long since returned to being among the living.

Last night’s small compartment with two people and one ghost now had only Aira alone, and a rare sense of peace washed over her. But it only lasted a short while, because soon she heard knocking on the door—

“Aira, are you up? Hurry up and get ready. Celeste and the others came to find us!”

What, they came?

When Aira hurriedly put on her clothes, also washing her inner thighs, and ran out to see Celeste and Zero standing together, she almost fainted on the spot.

But Celeste’s first words were: “The elves want us to depart early, leaving today.”

What, the intelligence didn’t leak?

Aira secretly glanced at Zero. The assassin girl was also looking at her, wearing a sunny smile on her face.

What did that mean? Those words said in undead form last night, was she really pure and innocent, or… did she just tease me?

After thinking for less than a second, Aira made her judgment: regardless of the truth, just treat her as purely innocent.

Otherwise, if she exposed the pretense and the person just gave up and told everything, bringing the other two girls directly over, what would she do then?

“Then let’s go… By the way, why do the elves want us to move early?”

What else to say, let’s talk business.

Celeste had no answer to this question, but it successfully shifted the topic. Aira pretended to analyze it, from the elven diplomatic mission’s acclimatization issues to homesickness, then developing into conspiracy theories about not wanting to give them too much reaction time, and finally to pessimistic theories that the Sacred Spring seal was about to break and they urgently needed to find people to go back and help.

Talking and chatting along the way, the girls met the little witch near the Royal Garden.

“Great, I woke up early and found you were all gone when I saw the note, and you made me come here to wait.” Vina put her hands on her hips, her little face puffed with anger, “What good deed did you do without calling me?”

“We just went to the church to find Aira and Miss Lia.” Celeste answered seriously.

Vina moved closer and suddenly touched the pink-haired big-breasted beautiful girl’s thigh:

“Why are your thighs wet?”

Aira’s heart jumped: “I just got up and washed myself with water while cleaning up to wake myself up.”

Vina analyzed with her mage abilities: “It really is clear water. You’re so strange. This is the first time I’ve seen someone wash their thighs to refresh themselves. Normal people wash their faces.”

Aira didn’t dare to respond, just laughed with a small voice.

At this time, Zero came back from touring the Royal Garden and handed what she was holding to the girl: “Aira, it’s been a long time since I gave you flowers. This is what I just picked.”

Because summer had passed and cold autumn had arrived, many flowers in the garden had withered, and there weren’t many still blooming at this time.

And what flowers could be picked at this season?

Aira took it and looked, she saw a small daisy lying in her palm.

“…”

Something felt wrong, but she didn’t dare say it.
