The Elf Maiden suddenly emerged from the covers, gazing quietly at Shami, her small face full of resentment.
"You have the scent of Lina and Saili on you, and it’s really strong, Shami."
Shami sweat nervously.
"First explain to me how you suddenly appeared in my bed! I remember the doors have locks!"
"Hmph, such a small issue. Using a one-time Teleportation Gate, I can go directly from my room to yours."
The Elf Maiden’s little face flashed an expression of fleeting smugness.
"Don’t just casually use one-time Teleportation Gates! Take good care of them! Your room is right next door, isn’t it? Why not climb the balcony to come in!"
Shami glared at the Elf Maiden, slightly fierce, but soon he wilted.
He was already defeated in aura, being pinned down by the Elf Maiden.
Though the covers reached up to his chest, he could clearly sense the position of the two under the blanket.
His arms and legs were together.
The Elf Maiden, adopting a dog-like posture, knelt on either side of his hips, her hands positioned on both sides of his head, completely pinning down his upper body.
Indeed, the Elf Maiden had formed a kabedon on the Demon King!
"Since I’ve been with you all these days, you’d naturally have our scent on you."
Of course, Shami couldn’t mention the time he lifted the Magical Girl’s skirt to touch her thigh. Looking at the Elf Maiden’s spotless face, he found a reason.
The Elf Maiden quietly chose to believe.
Indeed, it must be the scent rubbed off from hanging around.
Lina had been absent all day, so no matter what, Shami couldn’t have been cozying up with that aloof Magical Girl.
"So, why the sudden night assault? Trying to assassinate me?"
"Isn’t it because you’re a fraud."
The Elf Maiden regained awareness, complaining as she looked into Shami’s eyes.
"It’s already the second night of this seaside trip, right? Without surprise, we’re returning tomorrow noon. But you promised to accompany me shopping!"
Shami recalled their agreement.
"Wasn’t it during the day?"
The Elf Maiden became irritated.
"The daytime was everyone together, wasn’t it? Since it was our promise, it should be just the two of us acting together!"
Originally intending to go on a date with Shami, it inexplicably turned into a group trip, and all this time there had been no chance to have alone time with Shami.
This left the Elf Maiden puzzled for a while.
Shami sensed the Elf Maiden’s jealousy, and remembered how she had made significant sacrifices during the over-the-rope waist competition. — Though victorious, she was nearly about to drop her little pearls at the end.
"Can I make it up to you now?"
Lureya blinked, her night assault on Shami was merely to complain, not to drag him out in the middle of the night.
But since Shami unusually offered, how could the Elf Maiden let it slip, quickly nodding.
"Reluctantly alright..."
It was already past midnight, the pair sneaked out of the villa.
Passing Saili and Lina’s room doors with Shami, knowing they were still asleep, she could instead be outside with Shami, her heart inexplicably racing.
After running out of the villa, the Elf Maiden’s heart leapt with joy.
Using the Teleportation Gate, they arrived directly outside Senmai City. Despite the late night, this tourist city remained brightly lit, with streets still crowded with pedestrians and flanked by various street vendors.
The pair walked down the street, Lureya looking around, the afternoon nap benefits finally showing as she was not tired at all!
"Hey, Shami, there’s a circus performance over there."
Not long after, the pair found a large gathering ahead, an outdoor arena hosting circus performances, visible even from afar with various animals.
Lureya looked curious, and Shami followed her over.
The crowd was quite large, and especially upon the Elf Maiden’s appearance, she quickly attracted the attention of those around.
Not wanting others to interrupt, Shami moved close to Lureya, took her small hand, and drew her to his side. They found a good spot.
The Elf Maiden blinked, glancing at the large hand holding her small hand, her heart soon filled with joy.
Unexpectedly grabbing the maiden’s hand without a word, the fledgling Demon King sure has grown~
Her little face angrily lifted, looking at Shami.
Seeing the flat-haired blonde’s unhappy expression, Shami nearly released his grip.
"Who would grab someone’s hand like holding an egg, are you stupid?"
The Elf Maiden freed her hand from Shami, spread her fingers, glancing at him one-eyed.
"Oh, then no holding hands."
The Elf Maiden panicked, she was just being stubborn, not rejecting, quickly grabbing Shami’s retreating hand, her slender jade fingers threading through his, tightly clamping.
"Well, reluctantly let you hold the Elf Maiden’s small hand, but don’t use this hand for mischief when we return tonight."
Having cast Water Magic twice, the Elf Maiden addressed the Demon King thus.
"Welcome everyone to this circus performance."
The Circus Master on stage interacted with the audience.
Encountering an Outerworld circus performance for the first time.
Shami looked on with interest.
Not long after, two Circus Masters appeared, each leading a cage, standing on either side of the platform.
