Of course…
“If the ‘ideas’ that Lady Sara spoke of actually referred to stuff like hugging, holding, or kissing, then I won’t be able to promise anything in that case. That’s going to be my joy for the coming trip I’m taking, after all.”
Shien’s words just now made Sara explode on the spot.
“You’re actually planning on hugging, holding, or kissing that child? Don’t even think it!”
Sara was instantly enraged.
“Why not?” Shien shot right back, “So long as its consensual on both sides, even you, as a big sister, don’t have any right to interfere, right?”
“W-why wouldn’t I?” Sara shouted, “She’s still little you know!”
“Little?” Shien immediately spoke in a strange tone, “The king of dragons who has lived for at least thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and you’re telling me that she’s too little?”
Do you perhaps have some kind of misconception as to what little actually meant?
Howver…
“In my eyes, she’s just too little!”
Sara was basically adamant on this matter.
Shien’s look toward her immediately turned even stranger.
At this point, he finally understood just why Airi hated other people treating her like a little kid so much.
She must have been treated like a little kid to be taken care of by those sis-con older sisters of hers the entire time.
As he had that thought, Shien’s eyes turned shifty as he suddenly grinned.
That grin immediately gave Sara a bad feeling.
“What are you grinning about?” Sara got tense in a rare moment, “I’m warning you, you’re not allowed to get any ideas about that child.”
“Alright.” Shien was unusually quick in his reply and spoke in a very kindly manner, “I won’t. Don’t worry.”
Yet, Shien suddenly turning so agreeable not only did not get Sara to relax, but instead made her even more anxious.
“No! I have to go with you!”
Sara felt like she can’t leave this be.
Shien however completely ignored the Demon Lord before him and instead just turned around, left, and headed to the palace to go meet up with Lucy.
Shien thus kept Lucy company for several days, and Sara also forcefully remained in the Bayztrot home for those several days.
A few days, later, the pressure from the demon world became more and more intense, and Sara’s own adamant position also became weaker and weaker. In the end, after Jacinta personally came around to beg her, she had no choice but to return to the demon world while filled with regrets.
“Remember this! Little Airi can only be mine!”
Sara seemed to have left a letter written in red pen in Shien’s room, letting Shien see those bloody words.
Truth be told, when he saw those bloody words written there, Shien really did feel fear.
“As reality shows, sis-cons are not to be provoked.”
In this world, what’s scariest aren’t yanderes, but sis-cons.
At the very least, yanderes will follow you down to hell, but sis-cons will only end up ruining you.
One is actual death, and the other is social death. The horror of the latter, depending on the situation, could exceed that of the former by several times over.
Thus, Shien handed the letter over to Airi.
“… Give me another day.”
The day Airi got that letter, she fell silent for quite a while. In the end, she tensely threw out those words and seemed to have taken a trip back to the demon world with a belly full of anger.
Shien had no idea just what had happened on that day.
All he knew was that, the next day, Airi brought back another letter.
“I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry…”
The letter was filled that kind of content.
Thus, Shien solemnly threw that letter away.
After all, he didn’t want to get nightmares from it.
Just like that, Shien had dealt with everything he needed to, and his preparations were complete.
The night before his departure, Shien stayed the night over in Lucy’s apartments.
As for what happened that night, well, it should be obvious.
The next day, the moment Shien got back to the Bayztrot home, he immediately grabbed Airi and got on Yulin.
One point that needs mentioning is that, besides Airi, Lasha had also come along as well.
“Since the one I serve is planning on leaving, then I too have no reason to stay here.”
Lasha so stated like it was only natural and had even fully prepared all of Shien’s luggage at some unknown point.
Thanks to that, when Shien and company was about to leave, it wasn’t just Vivian’s party in the gardens sending him of. All the maids and servants in the house had also all come out.
“Safe travels! Onee-sama!”
