Chapter 148: Fast Forward to Sleeping Together?
***
“No… nothing…… just, just wanted to ask why, uh, why are you wearing an apron?”
Stumbling over her words, Verose frantically changed the subject, though her hands still refused to leave her cheeks.
After all, if she removed them, her blushing face might invite questions from Lyla.
Еn u m̃ а. іd̄
Everyone has their own little secrets. Seeing her shy and strange behavior, Lyla didn’t think much of it. She looked down at the apron she was wearing and turned to walk inside.
“I’m making dinner tonight.”

“Oh, I see.”
As soon as Verose walked into the house, she smelled the faint aroma of food. After gradually calming down, she walked to the kitchen with interest, watching Lyla busy at work.
“Have you cooked before?”
“No, but I’ve seen people do it, and I’ve learned a bit before.”
Е̄ num а . і́d
Though she said this, Verose could clearly sense Lyla’s inexperience from her technique. First-time cooking usually doesn’t taste very good.
But what does it matter if it doesn’t taste good? As long as the heart is in the right place.
She knew that Lyla’s decision to cook dinner tonight was probably related to what happened in the bathroom last night.
She wanted to make it up to her.

With such thoughtfulness, the taste of dinner didn’t matter anymore.
“Go take a bath, it’ll be ready when you come out.”
Е̊ n̈ u_m̆а́ . ĩd̊
“Okay.”
Feeling warmth in her heart, Verose left the kitchen.
Just like real married couples, with the wife preparing dinner at home, waiting for the husband to finish bathing so they could enjoy the meal together.
Really, Lyla is so virtuous.
If she were to marry her in the future, wouldn’t her married life be very comfortable?
Her face reddening again, Verose became more determined to win Lyla over. After that, she undressed in the bathroom and enjoyed a comfortable bath.

The bathtub wasn’t large, but she felt unusually lonely.
Compared to eating dinner, she actually preferred to eat Lyla — well, she was a Lust Demon after all.
However, such things couldn’t be rushed. Excellent hunters are always extremely patient.
After the bath, Verose came out and put on her home clothes. She ran downstairs from the second floor and arrived at the dining room.
Lyla and Mevina were sitting at the dining table, quietly waiting for her.
The aroma of food filled the air, and she eagerly looked at the dining table, where beautifully plated dishes caught her eye.

Gently holding her stomach as hunger surged, she sat down across from Lyla and picked up her knife and fork.
“Eat up.”

Lyla said quietly, and the next second, Verose unhesitatingly cut into the steak before her.
Of course, a Saintess Candidate should maintain her perfect etiquette at all times, so even though Verose was hungry, her knife movements remained as elegant as those of a noble lady.
Cutting off a piece of steak and putting it in her mouth, she chewed twice as the meat juices splashed freely in her mouth, repeatedly stimulating her taste buds.
Under Lyla’s somewhat expectant gaze, Verose nodded.
W е̊b̃ n оv̈ӗ l Е ňum̊а̊
Hmm, as expected, it wasn’t very tasty.
Too salty.
Actually, she was mentally prepared for this. This was Great Sage Lyla’s first time cooking, so the food was bound to be less than delicious.
The presentation and aroma were fine, just the taste was quite off.

“How is it?”
Lyla seemed unable to interpret Verose’s nod and couldn’t help but ask.
Wе́ bn о̃.v̌ е ľ Ên um̈а̄
Verose was prepared for this too.
She elegantly put down her knife and fork, took a sip of wine from her glass, and smiled softly: “The food tastes great! I’m already looking forward to how delicious your cooking will become in the future!”
How could someone like her, a master of romance, say words that would hurt others?
She was here to win Lyla’s heart, not to make an enemy of her.
No one would feel good about having their carefully prepared food called unpalatable. Sometimes, white lies are necessary.
And even if Lyla knew she was lying, so what?

The more she knew the truth, the more she would understand Verose’s gentleness and consideration, and thus fall helplessly in love with her.
“It tastes terrible…… mmph!”
Beside them, Mevina also picked up a piece of steak and chewed it twice, then frowned and gave her honest evaluation, but before she could finish speaking, Verose stuffed another piece of steak into her mouth.
“If you like it, have some more.”
Smiling gently while feeding Mevina steak, Verose looked like a mother doting on her child.
Even masters of romance have their missteps, especially when a perfect moment for two is interrupted by a third wheel.
Е n̊ u m̌а
Lyla realizing her own cooking was bad versus having someone else point it out, those are two completely different scenarios!
In the former case, Lyla might not say anything outwardly, but her fondness for Verose would increase internally. The latter was like dancing in a minefield!

“What’s wrong?”
Lyla looked somewhat puzzled as she watched Mevina being continuously fed.
Verose sweetly explained: “She thinks it’s so delicious that she can’t help but eat more.”
Saying this, she forked a piece for herself, but after two bites, though she kept smiling, her heart was full of regret.
Ĕñ u m̊ а.
Too salty.
Fortunately, Mevina was expressionless, as long as she didn’t speak, no one would know her opinion of these dishes.
Seeing the interaction between the two, Lyla remained silent for a moment, then unexpectedly chuckled.
“No need to pretend, I actually tasted it already, it’s very salty and quite terrible.”

Forcefully swallowing the steak in her mouth, Verose froze for a moment: “…… Huh?”
“This is basically my first time cooking, so I was mentally prepared for it to taste bad, and sure enough, it did.”
Е̌n u ḿ а̊_
“But it would be a waste to throw away so much food, so I kept it for you to try.”
As she spoke, Lyla waved her hand and the dishes on the table transformed completely, “I bought some food in advance, this is our real dinner tonight.”
“Huh?” Verose stared at the sumptuous dishes on the table, somewhat speechless.
She had been hoping to raise Lyla’s affection for her a bit, but in the end, it was just her own one-person show.
Making something inedible and still making them taste it…… how mean, you infamous Great Sage!
Even a master of romance can slip up when facing an opponent who doesn’t follow the usual playbook.

However……
The silver knife and fork gleamed in the golden lamplight, and under the warm-colored light, the former ice beauty rarely curved her lips into a smile, her cold eyes transforming into gentle crescents.
It had been a long time since she had seen Lyla like this.
“I’ll cook better in the future,” Lyla said softly.
Hmph, she’d believe that when she saw it.
Thinking this to herself, Verose gazed at Lyla’s faint smile and gradually became lost in thought, the fresh steak on her plate remaining uncut for a long while.

……
After dinner, Verose chatted with Mevina in the living room for a long time. When bedtime came, she yawned and lazily returned to her bedroom.

Reaching the bedside, she flopped onto the bed exhaustedly, wriggling a couple of times like a worm before pulling up the covers over herself.
When no outsiders were present, she naturally couldn’t maintain her Saintess Candidate demeanor.
This was the most genuine version of herself.
However, shortly after closing her eyes, a sense of crisis slowly spread throughout her body like ants, causing beads of fragrant sweat to form on her forehead. After struggling for a moment, she suddenly opened her eyes and sat up in bed.
Е̇ n̆üm̆_а.і d
The room’s window had been opened at some point, with the curtains fluttering noisily in the wind.
The bedroom was dark, with only the moonlight from outside providing some visibility. Under this limited visibility, she saw a dark figure standing by the bed.
Its body seemed to be made of black flames, holding a long scythe, its entire being ghost-like, making no sound at all.
Her heart skipped a beat as Verose remembered it.

Earlier, when rushing to the Holy City, it was this thing that had cut open the carriage……
Was this the Magic Mirror’s trial?
W̃е̊ b̌n ȯv̇e l Е̇n̂ ú m̌ǎ
Verose really wasn’t sure, as this trial was completely different from previous ones, and she couldn’t even sense any connection between this dark figure and the Magic Mirror.
While the girl was pondering, the dark figure slowly raised its scythe.
Seeing this, Verose slightly narrowed her eyes, ready to revert to her original form to defend against its attack.
Although she was currently in her fake body, when it came to matters involving the Magic Mirror, no one could be certain what might happen. What if her fake body was killed by the dark figure and her true form died as well?
Just as she was about to take action, a light blue, slightly transparent long sword pierced through the dark figure’s heart, with such strong magic power that it scattered the figure’s upper body.
Lyla?!

Verose’s heart leaped with joy, and indeed, the arrival was Lyla. Holding the long sword, she merely waved it lightly, and the dark figure that had been running wild in the room was frozen in place, unable to move.
However, what happened next was unexpected by anyone, the dark figure let out a strange laugh and disappeared from the ice without a trace. Lyla stared thoughtfully at where it had vanished.
“Are you alright?”
After contemplating for a long while, she walked to Verose’s side to check on her condition. The girl drew up her knees and mumbled quietly: “…… I’m scared.”
“I’ve already driven it away.”
“But I’m still scared…… what if, what if it comes back?”
Е̂ n̊u̇ m ā
What if it comes back?
Lyla didn’t rule out this possibility, after all, that dark figure was very strange and capable of anything.

But she wasn’t concerned at all.
The magic energy signature on it couldn’t be hidden, she had sensed its magic and that’s why she came here to save Verose.
Even if it came back again, the result wouldn’t be any different.
But the girl’s next words made her hesitate.
Ẁѐ b n̆ o v̌е̌ l Ēn.u m а̂
“I want you to stay with me tonight……”
“……”
The girl bit her lip, traces of panic still visible on her face. The moonlight shining on her face only made her complexion appear more pale.
This was the first time Lyla had seen Verose so vulnerable.

Previously, the girl had faced death fearlessly for the sake of love and justice in her heart. She had thought such a person would be indomitable, without any weaknesses.
Now it seems, she’s afraid of ghosts?
W e bńо̇vе́ l Ѐ n̄ u m a
This was normal though, insects, ghosts, and such things were often the natural enemies of young girls, and Verose was no exception.
It was at times like these that she remembered the Saintess Candidate before her was actually just a teenage girl.
She turned away from the bedside, but the next moment, her wrist was firmly grabbed by the girl.
With a slightly trembling voice, Verose said softly: “What are you going to do?”
“If I’m staying, of course I need to prepare a bedroll.”
“A bedroll? You can sleep in my bed.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“My body is cold, you won’t be able to handle it.”
Lyla’s body temperature was very cold, even when sleeping she was like an ice cube, and Verose was practically a normal person, sleeping together would only result in her being woken up by the cold in the middle of the night.
“It’s fine, my bed is quite big, it won’t feel crowded with two people,” Verose insisted, holding onto her arm.
Actually, just as she said, if they didn’t snuggle together, it wouldn’t be a problem.
But……
Looking at the soft large bed, a figure in a black dress flashed through Lyla’s mind.
We b́ n̈о v́ ěl̈ Е̃ ñůmа̇
From birth until now, the only person she had shared a bed with was that girl, and that was in an illusion.
Of course, they didn’t simply share a bed, they would do some very intimate things, like lovers……
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Just thinking about sharing a bed with Verose made Lyla feel somewhat resistant.
Perhaps she was naturally conservative? Or did she associate sharing a bed with being lovers? Or perhaps she…… didn’t want to sleep with anyone other than the monster girl?
Her emotions were very complex, and she felt somewhat frustrated with herself.
Before leaving Valkam, she had told herself to forget about the monster girl, that there couldn’t be any future interactions between them, but even now, she still thought about her from time to time.
Е̃n uḿ а̀
A monster girl is a monster girl, truly capable of bewitching people’s hearts.
Muttering this to herself, Lyla shook her head and refused again: “No need, I’ll just use a bedroll.”
Seeing that she couldn’t persuade her, Verose didn’t insist further.
However, she grumbled internally.

In the illusion, when Lyla shared a bed with her, she wasn’t nearly so resistant, on the contrary, she could hardly wait!
She still clearly remembered those days, the way Lyla would tear her nightgown, appearing outwardly like a cold beauty of abstinence, but once in bed, she was a fierce beast!
Е́ nu ṁа. і̌ d̆
So passionate about sharing a bed in the illusion, how did she become this cold and aloof in reality?
However, she wouldn’t give up.
Sharing a bed would shorten the distance between them. If love wasn’t pursued actively, there would never be a story between them.
Watching Lyla easily use magic to prepare the bedroll, Verose secretly smiled.
Hmph, did she think this would prevent her from sharing a bed?
That was really underestimating her, Verose!

After Lyla prepared the bedroll, the bedroom fell quiet, and Verose also got back under her covers to sleep.
Soon, their breathing became steady, and at this time, the girl began wiggling her body, inch by inch, towards Lyla’s bedroll.
Heh, accidentally falling off the bed during sleep, forced to share a bed — Lyla should forgive her, right?
Hehe.
With this thought in mind, Verose was just about to roll off the edge of the bed and fall onto Lyla’s prepared bedroll, but just as her foot extended past the bed’s edge.
Dong——
Wѐ b́no v̌ẽ l̆ Ë.nũ m а
A light blue magic barrier appeared at the edge of the bed, blocking her path.
“……”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
…… She had anticipated this too?
Reluctantly pulling her leg back, Verose bit her finger, and under complete helplessness, could only sigh softly and obediently go to sleep.
She had to admit that today, she, the master of romance, had suffered a narrow defeat.
But in the future, she would win it back!

Just wait and see, Lyla!
