Thus, Shien successfully left the temple, only leaving Nien lying on the ground by herself, who did not wake up for some time.
…
“Whoosh!”
Inside the baths of the Bayztrot mansion, Shien finally returned.
“Hoho… Hehe… Hahahaha!’
Shien couldn’t stop himself from laughing out loud. He laughed in an extremely good mood.
“You dared to trip me like that!”
“You dared to keep me from returning!”
“And you also had to be the first?”
“I’ll first your mom!”
Shien happily shouted out at having accomplished his goal.
“Didn’t you refuse to let me do anything to the girls around me that I haven’t done to you?”
“You thought that you could immediately summon me over the moment I tried any of that, so you could stop me at any time?”
“But you’re unconscious now, so there’s no way that you can stop me now, right?”
Shien who was in a great mood immediately ran back to his room.
…
It was already starting to turn light outside.
Shien’s room was completely silent, not having any sound inside it.
Outside the window, Yulin was already lying down asleep.
The door to Shien’s room was then quietly opened, allowing Shien to pop his head in.
“Lucy? Are you still here?”
Shien spoke out tentatively.
No one answered him.
Nor was there any sound.
“… Did she go back?”
Shien then came in from outside the door, quietly shut the door behind him, and swept his gaze across his room questioningly.
Only after his sweep did Shien notice the abnormality here.
“Huu… Huu…”
A figure was sleeping on Shien’s bed, breathing softly.
Naturally, it was Lucy.
“She actually fell asleep?”
Shien was stunned for a moment before he was showed a difficult expression on his face.
But right after that, Shien stopped.
“Ughh… You bastard…”
Lucy started mumbling complains in her sleep right before him.
“Making me hesitate so much… But then you stood me up… Bastard… Idiot…”
Lucy was mumbling such things.
“Cough…”
Shien felt guilty at that moment as well.
Although it was due to circumstances beyond his control, he did in fact invite a girl over to spend the night. Yet, then he disappeared while the girl was feeling nervous and uncertain, keeping her in that state for the entire night. That really was a bit much.
“It’s all that goddess’s fault…”
Shien really felt like just knocking that goddess unconscious really was too good for her.
Next time, seriously at the next meeting, he’s definitely going to properly teach her a lesson.
With such thoughts in mind, Shien tiptoed his way to the bed and looked down on the princess’s sweat and adorable sleeping face.
That sleeping visage is different from that of that omnipotent goddess. It felt somewhat innocent, but also somewhat tired and exhausted.
“I really did managed to see more than enough sleeping faces of beautiful girls, in various ways.”
Shien unconsciously chuckled before reaching out ad poking at Lucy’s cheeks.
“Ugh…”
Lucy frowned slightly, seeming having felt something uncomfortable.
Even so, Lucy was still mumbling.
