Chapter 254

3. Don’t say it!

No “idiot” was ever shouted for nothing—Sheffy had always called Xiarette stupid, and as a result, she really had been getting more and more foolish.

Maybe, if she started calling Xiarette “big genius” more often in the future, she might suddenly become enlightened?

Sheffy got dressed inside the rolled-up blanket, performing such a miraculous feat, while listening to Belith explain how she had managed to find this place.

“I went to find Mother and asked her for help. What’s strange about that? Xiarette, you really don’t use your brain.”

“I feel like you two wouldn’t even be able to talk without verbally attacking me…? I see. If Her Majesty the Demon Queen helped, then the room’s transfer magic would indeed be meaningless. Matters of your royal family are, in the end, decided by yourselves.”

Th-this wasn’t right, was it?

Sheffy’s cute little ears twitched, and she immediately popped her head out to refute Belith’s statement.

“Nonsense! Mother would help you with something like this? Isn’t the operation of this room one of the Demon Clan’s highest secrets?! I even suggested canceling this thing before—so flashy and impractical. Even storing things in a small treasury takes forever to find them. But Mother rejected it outright. What exactly did you tell her?”

Oh, got it. It seemed that Royal Sister had stored some gold here. Under this bed… there was likely her little treasury.

Belith smiled dotingly, deliberately not exposing it, and continued.

“What did I say?” She spread her hands, speaking lightly. “Very simple. I just told Mother that if I couldn’t find Royal Sister, I would die. If she ran away again, then I’d run away too. Then our Demon Clan would have no successors—everyone could fend for themselves.”

“You…! Cough cough cough! You’re infuriating me to death! Filial piety is the greatest virtue under heaven—how can you use running away from home as a threat?! Who taught you that? So inconsiderate! At a time like this, I must speak for Father King and Mother—you unfilial daughter!”

“?”

Royal Sister, how do you even have the face to say something like that?!

Alright, alright, why waste such a beautiful time here?

Hehe, actually, Belith had already prepared a full set of fishing equipment by the lakeside, just waiting for Sheffy to arrive.

Every day Royal Sister was home, Belith cherished it deeply, wishing she could fill every moment of the day to the brim.

—Of course, just the two of them.

“Hurry and come out of the blanket, Royal Sister. I’m not angry anymore.”

“I’m coming… uh, wait a moment. How about… you two go out first?”

Originally, Sheffy had been ready to leap out of the blanket like a fish and make a perfect landing.

But as if she suddenly realized something, her movement abruptly stopped.

This unusual reaction drew the attention of both Belith and Xiarette.

“Why? Isn’t Royal Sister already dressed?”

“There’s just a little… ha, my skirt isn’t properly on. It’s definitely hard to put it on inside a blanket anyway. In short, you two go out first and give me a few minutes.”

“Ah…? Why?”

“What do you mean why! When you change clothes, would I stare at you?! Don’t you understand basic etiquette of giving privacy?!”

“If Royal Sister wants to look, then just look. I don’t mind at all. In fact, if Royal Sister wants to see, I’d be more than happy. Besides, we’ve been open with each other since we were young—what is there to be shy about now? Oh right, Xiarette, you should indeed avoid this.”

“Me?”

Xiarette pointed at herself, her face full of astonishment, clearly expressing how unreasonable she thought it was for her to be the one to leave.

Belith had been overly aggressive since earlier, pressing forward relentlessly—but that didn’t mean Xiarette didn’t have her own temper.

“Actually, Belith, I think even between sisters there should be some sense of boundaries. You might not mind Sheffy intruding into your private life, but she’s someone who prefers having her own little nest as a full-time shut-in. You should respect her wishes.”

Xiarette—well, thanks for speaking up for her, but… did someone just call her a shut-in?

“Heh, you sure make it sound convincing. Your ability to twist concepts is quite impressive. I was talking about right now—there’s no need for me to avoid the situation at this moment. I never said I’d interfere with Royal Sister’s privacy from now on. I understand at least that much. Otherwise, do you think things would have gone so smoothly for you yesterday? On the contrary, don’t act smug after taking advantage. You were lucky enough to witness Royal Sister’s peerless graceful figure, so just enjoy it quietly. What, now you still want to keep watching in front of me? Don’t push your luck… you sneaky cat.”

How ridiculous—she had a “graceful figure,” huh? Little sister, the way she put it actually gave her a strange sense of confidence.

Sheffy laughed.

Their argument was helping her escape—she had to take the chance now…!

“Uh?”

The quarrel stopped abruptly.

Before Sheffy could make any move, she felt both her wrists being grabbed.

She looked up.

Belith and Xiarette each held one of her arms.

“You two… what are you doing?”

“Royal Sister is hiding in the blanket and trying to make us leave. What kind of secret are you hiding~”

“That’s right, Sheffy. I’d also advise you—whatever it is, just confess honestly, alright?”

“I really didn’t—! Waaaah!!”

With her small arms, how could Sheffy possibly withstand the two of them pulling together?

The silver-haired girl was instantly dragged out of the rolled blanket, losing her balance and falling onto the floor with a thud.

Her lower body wasn’t bare as expected—she had already put on her skirt.

Just as the two frowned in confusion, wondering why she had refused to come out earlier…

The blanket roll, having lost Sheffy’s support, slowly spread open to both sides.

Like a “treasure chest” made of fabric opening up.

On top of the blanket, where the faint milky scent still lingered, lay the “secret” Sheffy had tried so hard to hide.

A blue-haired girl was curled up inside.

It was Sylatrella in her loli form. She only wore undergarments, her upper body barely covered by her waterfall-like blue hair.

In truth, she was completely flat—whether it was covered or not made little difference.

Her eyes resembled a starry river, her skin like凝霜. She had clearly just woken up and was still rubbing her sleepy eyes, searching for Sheffy’s warmth.

“Mm… Lady Sheffy? Can I talk now…? Why didn’t you let me make any sound? Could it be…! Could it be that if I speak, I’ll be punished with spanking?! And the more I cry out, the more I’ll be hit…?! The more I’m hit, the more I cry out? I’ve heard of this! So goo—no, so scary! Please make sure to try it! Uh… Lady Sheffy, why are you lying on the ground?”

“……”

Can’t she see the two demons right there…?

And she still had the mind to say something this perverted!

“Royal Sister?”

“Sheffy…?”

The двой pressure struck Sheffy at once. She curled up like Syla, as if that would reduce the blows life dealt her.

“Wait, I can explain! Xiarette, you should know this—wasn’t Syla like this the first time she appeared?! She suddenly crawled into my blanket completely naked, and this time it was the same! I don’t even know when she woke up!”

“What?! This isn’t the first time she’s crawled into Royal Sister’s blanket?!” Belith exclaimed in shock.

“Is that the main point?! And besides… I already helped her put on undergarments as fast as I could. My hands were quick! It’s fine—no problem, totally safe!”

“I do know that little sister Syla likes sneaking into Sheffy’s blanket…” Xiarette spoke reasonably, glancing back at Syla, who tilted her head in confusion, then looking again at the hem of Sheffy’s light black skirt. “But… Sheffy, you said you helped her put on undergarments. However, if I remember correctly, there was only one spare set, right? What Syla is wearing… is yours, isn’t it? Then what are you wearing yourself?”

“!”

Xiarette—why was she always able to notice blind spots like this at times like these?!

Sheffy’s posture became slightly awkward as she pressed down on her skirt hem—it was a natural reaction.

The cold wind slipping in through the window made her feel rather uneasy beneath the skirt.

Belith’s face turned pale.

Her hollow gaze looked as if her soul had left her body.

“So jealous… damn it… so jealous…”

“Be… Belith?”

“Damn it! I want to wear it too! Royal Sister’s underwear!”

“Listen to yourself—what kind of nonsense are you even saying?!”

“Got it!” Xiarette suddenly struck her left hand with her right, coming to a realization. “Sheffy is currently in a vacuum state!”

“You only just realized that?! And please, I’m begging you—don’t say something like that out loud!”
