Chapter 115: What are you all doing!

Of course, even if I understood this point, Eudora’s identity as a succubus was still a major taboo within the Holy Kingdom, so the Priestess concealed the demonic traits of the former and suppressed her alluring aura as much as possible, planning to observe her for a while before making a decision.

Once again, I rubbed the now even smoother pink hair of the little loli who had turned into a succubus, and the White Fox Girl slightly bent her knees to bring her gaze level with the little one.

“Let’s not talk about that. Where’s Tilysha? Why isn’t she with you?”

Eudora tilted her head, answering without a second thought.

“As for Sister Tilysha, it seems she just went upstairs with that fierce blonde big sister, telling me to stay put and not run around.”

“Uh…?”

Vilyric glanced around.

The fierce blonde big sister… probably referred to that Little Dragon Daughter, right? Moreover, while the hotel lobby was spacious and luxurious enough, there weren’t many guests coming and going; most were internal staff, so with them around, there was indeed little need to worry about Eudora being whisked away by some strange person for the time being.

But what exactly was so important that they needed to avoid this child?

Hiss… Wait a minute, could it be…

No, no, that’s just too outrageous to think about. Rather than entertaining the ridiculous notion that a relationship might develop between them, it would be more believable to suspect that the Saint of Bright Light betrayed the Church of the Goddess.

I must be overthinking…

That said, the ever-curious Priestess could not suppress her bubbling gossip fire within, so she decided to personally go… and investigate.

Just right, there was a suitable excuse at hand.

“Let’s go, Little Eudora, shall we go up and take a look?”

“Um? Okay, Little Fox Sister, then… just a moment.”

After awkwardly removing the ill-fitting uniform dress from the outside to reveal the brand-new white dress prepared by the Priestess, the pink-haired loli neatly folded the former and ran off to return it along with the broom to a few young female attendants who had been observing from a distance, then returned to Vilyric’s side and took her hand.

“Alright, Little Fox Sister, let’s go!”

“~”

She nodded slightly at the female attendants secretly taking care of Eudora. Although Vilyric intended to smile, the mask she wore made it impossible for outsiders to see her expression, and this move exuded an air of authority as if she were inspecting her subordinates.

Given that a certain Miss White Fox’s “noble status” had already spread among the hotel staff, the attendants naturally dared not take her lightly and promptly bowed deeply in respect.

Although, as ordinary employees, they couldn’t possibly know that Vilyric’s group was an esteemed guest designated by the Cecilia Merchant Association, the events preceding this—when [Xī] single-handedly purified hundreds of [fake demons] outside the Lingyin Merchant Association, followed by a colossal battle against the Black Flame Giant—were witnessed and officially recognized by many.

Even if most only knew bits and pieces, limited to the official narrative, all of it was enough to leave an impact.

That breathtaking figure dancing across the other shore was etched deeply into the memories of many who were present, leading to the widespread rumor of the White Fox Girl [Xī] in the western city.

With the right breeze, whispers like “Once, a girl with a white fox mask stepped out in a forest occupied by demons to protect the merchant caravan” began to spread, further fueling the flames.

Clearly, some merchant was delivering on his promise.

So, despite only being a little over ten days, Xī’s reputation had already spread throughout the city. Even though she was not a cleric, it didn’t diminish the respect people had for the girl’s noble deeds as a strong figure.

Though this outcome was a step-by-step process, it mostly aligned with someone’s expectations. But right now, Miss Vilyric had no desire to concern herself with such matters.

Tilysha’s room was 3-25 at the Bright Hotel, next to Miss Vilyric’s room at 3-27. Leading Eudora up the staircase lined with soft carpets, as they approached that area, the Priestess’s keen hearing as a divine being vaguely picked up on some sounds.

“Um ~ hmm ~ down, a little lower…”

“Stop being annoying; if you keep babbling, you might as well come over.”

“Ugh… I’m sorry… um um ~ right here! Mmm ~ so comfortable ~ Miss Xiao Guang’s skills are getting better and better…”

Sounds like these continuously floated through the air and into Vilyric’s ears as she approached the front door, making her body stiffen momentarily.

Hey hey… it can’t be…

While logic had already tossed that possibility to the farthest recesses of her mind, the Priestess couldn’t help but tiptoe closer to room 3-25, where the strange sounds originated, quietly twisting the unlocked door handle and peeking inside…

And then.

“Huh?”

“Master?”

“Xī, Miss Xī…?!”

Thus, three voices of varying surprise erupted in succession.

Well then, that one-in-a-million chance, unsurprisingly, didn’t turn out as expected.

The imagined outrageous scene… While there indeed was one girl lazily lying on the bed, and there was certainly some degree of physical contact between the two, it was…

Very, very proper.

…

“So, what exactly is going on? What are you all doing, hiding things…?”

Sitting on the room’s sofa, the girl with the white fox mask sipped her warm red tea meant to calm her nerves, looking somewhat helplessly at Tilysha and the Little Dragon Daughter across from her, unable to hold back from speaking.

However, the two merely exchanged confused glances, and in the end, the blue-haired girl scratched her head and asked in puzzlement.

“Um… we’re not hiding anything? But in a girl’s room, we can’t just leave the door wide open, right?”

“…?”

Fine, let’s get to the point.

From any perspective, they indeed weren’t trying to conceal anything, at least not intentionally.

At least, the Little Dragon Daughter had no such intentions.

Otherwise, with the former’s greater perception than Vilyric’s, even without a contract, she wouldn’t be unaware of her master’s approach; yet throughout it all, this girl in the room had shown no unusual behavior, which was important evidence that the Priestess logically understood—they hadn’t been sneaky about anything.

But…

The White Fox Girl pointed at the pink-haired loli sitting obediently beside her, puffing her cheeks like a little hamster, holding a porcelain cup, blowing on it, and carefully sipping the scalding red tea.

“If you’re not hiding anything, then why go out of your way to avoid Eudora? And where did you get this thing from?”

Saying this, Miss Vilyric picked up an odd item from the coffee table that looked like a leather glove, with finger parts composed of a small hammer-like substance that had no sharp edges, alongside various bizarre objects like rounded metal pieces resembling an iron, something totally out of place for this world.

Then, she tilted her head in confusion.
