Volume 2, Chapter 7 – Fainting

Translator Note

A bit late today, I got held up at work. Anyway, 1 chapter unlocked

“Just who exactly are you?! Why can you use Shadow Essence!”

Staring into Yumo’s scarlet eyes, Mengxi continued her stern interrogation, yet Yumo remained silent. After accepting the fact that she had been seen completely naked, Yumo decided to just roll with it, temporarily casting aside her sense of shame and letting the other girl pin her down while she quietly locked eyes with Mengxi.

‘You’ve seen everything anyway, and I’m a girl now too, so what else can you do to me? Are you going to rua ¹ 噜啊 (rua), internet slang of squish/rub/pet/knead me? Hmph.’

At the same time, Miss Yumo couldn’t help but grumble inwardly with slight annoyance.

‘What kind of question is that? Why can I use Shadow Essence? Hehe, you’re asking me? I want to ask you, little sister Mengxi! Why would a Chosen Maiden, a Saintess chosen by the Goddess, be able to use Shadow Essence? Huh?! And why, why aren’t you afraid of me at all, you brat?’

Looking at Mengxi’s murderous and fearless expression, Yumo frowned with a hint of gloom.

‘At the very least, I’m the final boss who brings calamity to this world, right? You’re making me lose face like this. My dear female lead, if you ran into any other boss like this, they would have killed you long ago! If it were a more lecherous boss, or in some adult anime, your insolence would ten-to-one result in you being turned into a plaything or toyed with until you hit the heavens. It’s only because you met a soft-hearted boss like me that you can keep acting up. But seriously, why is she so bold? Hmm? Is it because I’m suppressing my power? Hmm…’

Yumo fell into deep thought. After a moment of contemplation, the black-haired girl put on an “I see” expression and gave a slight, silent nod.

‘Alright, that must be it. In her eyes, I probably only look like I’m around the fifth tier, which is why she’s so reckless.’

Thinking of this, Yumo couldn’t help but sigh and slowly shake her head.

‘Female lead, you’re still too green. There are plenty of characters these days who play the pig to eat the dragon; you can’t just make judgments so casually, or you’ll suffer for it sooner or later.’

‘Whatever. I can’t be bothered to figure out why you woke up so suddenly right now. I’ll just give you a little lesson to help you learn from this experience. I’ll also let you know that this lady isn’t someone you can just pin down whenever you want! You’re in need of some discipline, aren’t you! You’re on my turf right now!’

At that thought, Yumo flashed a meaningful smile, her scarlet eyes filled with amusement and devoid of any fear, even though Mengxi’s hand blade was already inches away.

Seeing Yumo’s rich array of expressions, Mengxi couldn’t help but look confused. “What are you smiling for?!”

Faced with this question, Yumo, who had been silent for a long time, tilted her head playfully at Mengxi. “Well, I just thought of something happy?”

Hearing this and seeing the black-haired girl’s “grinning” expression, Mengxi’s brow furrowed, and her hand blade, wrapped in silver-white holy magic and a trace of divine power, pressed even closer against Yumo’s neck!

“I’m not joking with you! Who are you!”

“I’m your benefactor, the person who saved you before.”

“My benefactor? Was it really you back at Fort Garros?”

Mengxi still found it hard to believe. She knew very well how much an Abyssal Demon loathed the holy attribute aura within her body, or rather, her divine power! This girl before her could clearly manipulate Shadow Essence, so why would she save her?!

However, before Mengxi could finish her train of thought, Yumo’s leisurely words drifted into her ears.

“Yeah, I saved you. You’re still recovering at my house, aren’t you? I have to say, little knight sister, is this how you treat your benefactor?”

As that melodious voice, as sweet as a lark’s song, reached her ears, Mengxi’s light purple eyes suddenly shrank. At this moment, Mengxi was shocked to find that even while her suppression magic was active, this girl with only fifth tier strength was actually slowly raising her right hand!

‘This… how is this possible?! Why can she move!’

In her desperation, Mengxi pressed her hand harder against Yumo’s chest, further increasing the output of holy magic! (Yumo: Hey! You brat! Stop squeezing! You’re going to flatten them!)

However, Mengxi’s actions were still futile. Aside from the black-haired girl’s expression turning slightly strange, the movement of her right hand showed no signs of stopping! She even suddenly accelerated, directly grabbing Mengxi’s left hand that was covered in divine power!

In the next instant, a crisp “crack” sounded. Under Mengxi’s stunned gaze, the divine power covering her hand blade shattered violently! It then slowly turned into specks of white light and dissipated into the air…

“How can this be?!”

Sensing that things were going south, Mengxi tried to pull her hand back. However, no matter how much force she used, she couldn’t retreat; Yumo’s slender hand was like a pair of pincers, firmly controlling Mengxi’s palm! Mengxi tried to stand up, only to find to her surprise that her lower body was also pinned down by the black-haired girl’s pale legs, leaving her completely unable to move!

In this moment, for the first time, a look of shock and panic appeared on Mengxi’s cold little face. “You, you!”

“Hehe~”

Seeing the cute and panicked expression of the silver-haired girl, Yumo chuckled gleefully. “Now then, little sister? Shouldn’t you apologize properly? If you do, I’ll let you go.”

“You, you!”

Just as Mengxi was at a loss for words, the closed bedroom door was suddenly flung open! In the next moment, a grey-haired girl, soaking wet and wrapped in a bath towel with soap bubbles still on her head, burst into Yumo’s bedroom.

Needless to say, this girl was Li Yu. After sensing that loathsome holy aura and hearing strange sounds coming from her mother’s room, Li Yu, worried for Yumo’s safety, had rushed up in a frantic hurry!

Well, strictly speaking, Li Yu wasn’t exactly worried about Yumo’s safety. Unlike her foolish sister, Li Yu had a profound understanding of Yumo’s power. She knew very well that as a fifth tier middle-rank Chosen Maiden, even with divine power, it was impossible to harm her mother!

She had rushed up mainly to see if she could find an opportunity or an excuse to deal with the female lead… and also because she was quite upset that her mother and the Chosen Maiden were always in the same room, so she wanted to butt in…

But after bursting into the bedroom and seeing those two pale bodies tangled together, the words Li Yu was about to say got stuck in her throat. She fell into a daze, and even the highlights in her emerald eyes suddenly vanished.

“What… what are you two doing!!” Li Yu roared, her face flushing crimson.

Compared to Li Yu, the little white wolf at her feet, who was completely covered in bubbles and looked like a ball of fluff, let out a fierce snarl upon seeing this scene! Although she had temporarily entered a “stupid” mode, Li Mo could still feel the dangerous aura coming from Mengxi!

To protect her mother, the little white wolf didn’t hesitate. After letting out an “awoo,” the bristling little white wolf charged “majestically” at Mengxi! Despite her current appearance, Li Mo’s powerful demon king tier strength was still contained within that tiny body! If she actually hit Mengxi, the Chosen Maiden would probably be broken into pieces on the spot.

Therefore, seeing Li Mo pounce, Yumo sighed helplessly and snapped her left hand up! Just as Li Mo was about to collide with Mengxi, she unceremoniously grabbed the little white wolf by the scruff of her neck.

“Li Mo, stop it!”

“Meow-woo~”

Hearing the tone of reprimand from her mother, the little white wolf lowered her head dejectedly.

Seeing that Li Mo was being obedient, Yumo breathed a small sigh of relief. Then, she turned her head back toward the silver-haired girl pinning her down.

However, before Yumo could continue their conversation, she frowned. She noticed that Mengxi’s eyes had become unfocused, and her whole body started to sway.

“Little… little sister?”

In the next instant, amidst Yumo’s startled cry, Mengxi’s consciousness seemed to leave her body. The silver-white holy magic around her suddenly collapsed, and she slumped down limply, falling onto Yumo’s chest and beginning to breathe steadily…

??!!

Huh??

For a moment, Miss Yumo, who had planned to keep acting like a big boss and discipline the female lead, was completely bewildered.

“Uh… what? What’s going on now?!”
