Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess!

Chapter 140 : Even a Cat's Paw Will Do

"...So you know Sister Fiel?!"

One shocking revelation after another shattered the young demon's worldview.

Fillo never dreamed that the information she had spent days failing to obtain could be so easily acquired from humans.

Moreover, judging by their manner, they seemed to know Fiel's true identity...

Who exactly were these people...

However, confirming that her sister was safe and sound, and even learning her exact address, finally allowed Fillo to breathe a sigh of relief. With her simple mindset, Fillo didn't overthink it, and her attitude towards the two quickly shifted to gratitude.

No matter what, they were truly good people~~~

"Miss Yvonne~ You're my savior!! Thank you so much!!"

"...I'm just glad I could help."

Faced with the demon girl's enthusiastic appreciation, Yvonne felt somewhat at a loss.

Pulling away directly seemed impolite, but if this continued, Elsa would likely explode again.

She could only continue asking questions, smoothly withdrawing her hand in the process.

"...So, what do you plan to do next?"

Yvonne entered her information-gathering mode.

Although she knew the general plot, to be safe, she still needed to grasp enough information.

Hearing her question, Fillo shook her head.

"The purpose of my journey was to find my sister..."

At this point, Fillo's long tail hung attentively in the air, her expression becoming solemn,

"Miss Yvonne... Although I'm very grateful to you, regarding our situation... I hope you won't get too deeply involved."

After all, this was an internal demon matter. The kind-hearted Fillo didn't want to drag the two of them into demon conflicts.

"Don't speak so absolutely... The fact that I could meet you here means there's a connection between us."

As a former test player, Yvonne had some knowledge of the subsequent plot developments.

"If you could explain the situation in detail, perhaps we could help?"

"........."

However, even after she said this, Fillo still kept her lips tightly sealed, seemingly intending to remain silent.

There was no helping it; Yvonne could only continue to cast her net wider.

"You left Michel earlier because of this matter, right?"

"............"

Hearing this, Fillo's expression showed a slight change, but she still didn't intend to speak.

This is a bit difficult...

Yvonne's gaze fell on the burn marks on her arm.

Noticing her gaze, Fillo hurriedly withdrew her hand.

If not looking closely, it wasn't easy to notice.

But this wasn't an ordinary burn mark.

Unlike normal burns, only substances composed of magical power could cause damage to a demon's flesh.

It seems the verbal technique was effective,

But this level wasn't enough.

Yvonne continued:

"The fact that you and Miss Fiel are wandering like this indicates that there are some issues within the demon realm. Let me guess... A 'usurper' has taken the Demon King's position, right?"

Fillo's mouth gaped open, her face practically screaming 'How did you know?'

Could this human read minds??

For some reason, although this person didn't emit any special aura, she gave off a very different feeling.

Like someone who had already grasped the entire situation...

In front of her, it seemed impossible to hide anything.

This person seemed to know everything,

It appears the situation doesn't deviate much from the original plot...

Through Fillo's reactions, Yvonne roughly deduced the current state of the demon realm.

Helping Fiel reclaim the position of Demon King and forming a bond with her was the plot for the second main character route.

And now, the conquest system suddenly displayed a mission related to this route.

[Conquest Mission: Form an Alliance with the Demons]

A familiar prompt sound, followed by the familiar countdown appearing on the system.

Replacing the [Villain Mission], it had now become a [Conquest Mission]

The countdown that would provoke Yvonne's rational disgust reappeared in her field of vision.

...As expected, there's nothing good about this system.

Looking at this countdown.

If she couldn't complete it well, what awaited her would likely be a 'punishment' similar to before.

The only somewhat fortunate thing was that the countdown time was still quite generous, showing there was still a month left, so she could prepare some coping strategies.

"...What you say is correct."

Sitting directly in front of her, Fillo's expression also became serious.

Although she was a demon, she didn't dislike humans like other demons did.

The demon realm was now divided into two factions.

Shortly after Fiel took the position of Demon King, she was tricked.

The demon tradition was survival of the fittest, with the victor becoming king.

So the method of selecting the Demon King was also more archaic.

Whoever had the biggest fist and could win in the selection would have the qualification to become king.

These were things ingrained in the demons' way of survival and beliefs.

"Internal strife, huh..."

Yvonne propped her chin with her hand, murmuring a repetition of what the other had just said.

Getting involved in this kind of situation was indeed troublesome.

"If... if sister could recover 70%... no, 60% of her power! This situation would be nothing to fear!!"

Fillo said through gritted teeth, her eyes full of unwillingness and indignation.

"That despicable challenger used underhanded means to plunder sister's magical power...!! And they even want to purge the members supporting the original Demon King!"

"So that's why you were chased here..."

Finally understanding the cause and effect, Yvonne nodded thoughtfully.

"Although it was a duel, and all the demons consider that puppet emperor to be the true king... only sister has the qualifications of a Demon King!!"

"'Qualifications', huh..."

She gazed at the tent's ceiling, letting out a long sigh.

"...I think that Fiel probably doesn't want to go back."

"~~~~How is that possible!"

In Fillo's impression, Sister Fiel was a noble and supremely benevolent king who could sacrifice everything for the demon people.

How could she possibly turn into a shut-in playing with little girls every day? That's impossible!!

"—We can help you, right?"

"...Eh??"

An unexpected voice.

"If I help, it should be easily handled."

The one answering wasn't Yvonne, but Elsa sitting beside her,

"...Miss Elsa?"

Although she could understand this girl was very capable, facing the vast demon army that even the entire Oz Kingdom was helpless against, she actually claimed she could handle it alone.

There should be a limit to boasting—

Moreover, what could a single human... do for the demons?

"According to what you said, we just need to defeat that Demon King, right?"

"Theoretically, that's correct..."

"Then isn't it much simpler?"

Elsa clenched her fist, showing not the slightest trace of fear.

Are they serious... these two humans...??

Fillo found it somewhat hard to believe.

But she also understood that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If she missed this chance, it would be much more difficult to make a comeback—

Moreover, being pushed to this point, she was already at her wit's end.

This feeling was like knowing that even borrowing a cat's paw to help wouldn't be of much use to oneself, but having someone help was still better than having no help at all.

"—Then I'll be in your care!!"

Fillo pressed her forehead to the ground, performing a gesture similar to dogeza,

"—I need the strength of both of you!"

⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱

"...We should have just left it alone."

After Fillo left, she pouted resentfully at Yvonne.

"Weren't you the one who agreed to help..."

"I'm only helping for Evie's sake."

"...Alright, alright."

"And you kept staring at that child! Can't you look at me more?"

This girl's pout could hang an oil bottle.

She's jealous again, as expected...

Momentarily at a loss for words of comfort, Yvonne could only lean forward and plant a kiss on her lips.

Sometimes, physical contact can express feelings better than words.

"...Cunning."

Although she said this, being kissed by Yvonne did indeed dispel much of her gloomy mood.

Perhaps this action could clearly make one aware of a relationship of 'possessing' and 'being possessed', so it became the best remedy to extinguish that ugly and groundless jealousy that had emerged.

This trick was undeniably effective; after being kissed, she would calm down considerably,

Although usually she was the one to initiate, as long as Yvonne made some aggressive moves, she would obediently lower her guard.

Watching her face flush red, Yvonne's heartstrings would unconsciously tremble.

Yvonne was gradually beginning to understand her little thoughts.

However, even so, these 'calculations' were all born from a desire to further possess her, so in Yvonne's eyes, they had all become adorable behaviors.

"Just one kiss?"

Her arms encircled Yvonne, seeking a more advanced reciprocation.

In the end, did she just want Yvonne to take the lead??

This slightly clingy and troublesome aspect was also undeniably cute.

The body hanging on her was so light it seemed it would break at the slightest touch.

A feeling of tender affection welled up, driving Yvonne to embrace her seemingly petite body once again.

An embrace is something gentle and warm.

Like a water droplet merging into the ocean, gradually, they fused into one.

"...Mmph,"

After the tight embrace, she seemed to have trouble breathing. Feigning resistance while actually welcoming it, she unconsciously tried to slip away, but how could Yvonne let her have her way? Yvonne was thankful that she persisted in exercising daily, her strength considerably surpassing Elsa's.

If it came to magic, she might be no match for Elsa at all, but if it came to a contest in bed, Yvonne would definitely have the upper hand.

...Although this might not be something to proudly claim in public.

As for the result, she still seemed to enjoy being pursued by Yvonne more.

"Ha... Why so sudden..."

"Because you had an expression like you wanted me to kiss you?"

"Evie... Since when could you say such things so unconsciously??"

"We've kissed so many times... I can't always be the same, right..."

But saying such things still inevitably caused some embarrassment.

"This mission we've taken on, it's quite dangerous, isn't it?"

Leaning on Yvonne's shoulder, Elsa couldn't help but ask.

"...After all, danger always coexists with opportunity."

Although wanting to comfort her as much as possible, as a girl, her heart still somewhat longed to be loved. Yvonne couldn't help but bury her face in Elsa's dry, fluffy hair,

She also sensed Yvonne's emotions, intuitively raising her nimble fingers to stroke along the lines of her spine.

Doing such things should have made her heart race, but now only endless drowsiness remained.

Being caressed by her felt so comfortable... Her chest and body felt light, as if about to reach a world without gravity.

No good, no good... If she closed her eyes, she would almost fall asleep,

"It's okay to fall asleep like this."

Seeing through Yvonne's thoughts as she had just entered a light sleep state but was forcing herself to stay awake, Elsa felt somewhat helpless.

Her hand also moved from Yvonne's waist to her shoulder, beginning to stroke her hair.

"Evie's hair is so beautiful..."

"What... Do you only like my hair?"

"Of course not!"

She began.

"—Evie's eyes are beautiful, your nose, mouth, and facial features are as delicate as if sculpted—your figure is also great—you're considerate and gentle—being with Evie feels so safe—"

"Wait, wait a moment!?"

Hearing such a string of compliments, with a bang, Yvonne's cheeks instantly turned red.

So many compliments at once, she felt like she was about to float away!

This reaction, as if a chemical reaction had occurred, was quite interesting.

Elsa revealed a smile; after all, Yvonne's shy appearance was the cutest.

Thinking this, she no longer had any intention of refusing her,

No longer resisting, she closed her eyes, feeling Elsa's breath.

Her fingers traced along Yvonne's arm to find her palm, then slowly slid her fingers into the gaps between Yvonne's fingers, finally interlocking their ten fingers.

Thinking that this adorable person belonged to her alone gave her a feeling of supreme joy and emotion.

The moment this thought emerged, her body instinctively leaned forward, kissing the corner of Elsa's mouth again.

"Should we... continue what we didn't finish earlier?"

She rarely directly made such requests,

"No...!"

However, this time she was refused.

Realizing what Yvonne wanted to do further, she pushed her away with a red face.

"It's already very late today, let's just sleep."

"...Eh?"

Yvonne was stunned on the spot.

Why—Elsa shouldn't be the type to refuse such things—

...Could it be she's no longer interested in my body??

Thinking of this, Yvonne fell into deep panic.

"No, no! Evie is always attractive to me—"

Seeing Yvonne's unease, she hurriedly explained in a flustered manner,

"It's just that it's so late today, and you weren't feeling well earlier, so I thought you definitely need a good night's sleep..."

Saying this, she pulled Yvonne down to lie with her,

"I can endure these things properly... so... let's sleep."

"~~~~Elsa!"

Where did this angel come from!

She's just too cute!!

"Evie, you're hugging too tight~~"
