Chapter 2: Is This All You’ve Got [Fourth Revision]

“Mmph!”

Sophie pouted, like an angry little steamed bun.

Charles was really too stubborn, preferring to be held like this rather than call her by her name once.

If this were any other vampire, wouldn’t they be dying of envy? Being able to directly call their master’s true name – even if they ran under the sun and were burned to ashes, it would be worth it!

In contrast, Charles acted as if she’d suffered some great injustice.

Not knowing her fortune while blessed with it.

It seemed she was still being too gentle.

She needed to educate her properly and thoroughly!

“What are you planning to do?”

Seeing Sophie’s eyebrows raise slightly, her eyes full of playfulness, her mouth forming a cat-like smile, Charles had a bad premonition.

“Small fry Charles~ If you won’t listen to your master, then I’ll do this…”

Sophie smiled and leaned close to Charles’s ear.

Gently took a breath.

Then—

“Fuu~~”

Warm, moist breath carefully caressed Charles’s ear.

Also blowing strands of hair that tickled against her face.

So ticklish!

It felt as if a chill ran up her spine from her back.

Her body almost couldn’t help but squirm.

But!

For a legendary hunter, this was still too naive!

“Is, is this all you’ve got?”

Charles’s cheeks flushed red, her voice soft and weak, but her words were still defiant,

“This doesn’t shake me at all. Everything you’re doing is a waste of effort.”

“What a stubborn mouth…” Sophie hid a smile at the corner of her lips.

…

Her tightly clenched mouth finally loosened: “So, Sophie, satisfied now?!”

“No, it’s too late~”

Sophie mercilessly refused.

By the Sun God above!

…

Someone save me…

At this critical moment!

“Master, Master Charles.”

A voice devoid of emotional fluctuation came from the doorway, perfectly interrupting Sophie’s invasion.

Well done!

Charles couldn’t help but cheer internally.

Sophie turned her head, looking at her own maid with some displeasure: “Shia, what is it?”

Shia apologized: “I’m very sorry to interrupt the master’s fun, but breakfast is ready.”

“Mm, breakfast and such, I’ll go after I finish eating Charles.”

Charles: “???”

Are you a cannibal or what!

Shia calmly said: “Master, please save that sort of thing for the coffin. You still need to change clothes, and Master Charles is already too hungry to have any strength.”

“Mm…”

Sophie felt very regretful, turning back to look at Charles, clearly feeling she was just one step away from prying open her heart and making her submit.

But reminded by Shia, she remembered she still had important matters.

She reluctantly got up: “Then let’s continue next time. Charles, go eat breakfast first, I’m going to change clothes! No peeking, okay~☆”

Having said that, Sophie left humming a little tune, without any hesitation.

“Who would want to peek!”

Charles gritted her teeth tightly, lying on the ground, but her body continued to feel weak, unable to get up for a long time.

Shia walked past from the side, opened the wardrobe, selecting appropriate clothes while asking:

“Master Charles, I just saved you. Don’t you have anything to say?”

“Guh, this is truly the humiliation of my lifetime!”

“Well, you seem to have quite a lot of lifetime humiliations. My ears could grow calluses from hearing it.”

Shia shook the fluffy wolf ears on her head, saying expressionlessly.

Hysteria Almeida, shortened to Shia, was Sophie’s werewolf maid.

Sixteen years old, 164 centimeters tall, shoulder-length hair, with a playful braid hanging down from her left sideburn, but a pair of clear brown eyes calm as still water, her entire being exuding a cool temperament.

She looked like she had no emotions, occasionally speaking rather sharply, but aside from that, her appearance, cleaning, combat, cooking, and handling of affairs were all quite perfect.

A perfect and elegant maid!

Especially the ears on her head and the fluffy, shiny big tail extending from under her maid skirt.

Swaying back and forth.

Truly incredibly alluring!

It’s just a pity she was the Blood Princess’s maid.

Although she had just intervened at the right moment and helped her, it was nothing more than a good cop, bad cop routine.

Her true purpose still needed to be observed.

Just as Charles was thinking this, Shia’s warm, soft tail gently patted against her face.

Completely without any beast-like odor, instead it had a freshly baked bread fragrance that made one’s spirit relax.

“You, what are you doing? Trying to buy me off with your tail?”

Charles was buried in the fluffiness, her voice muffled.

But you could tell she really liked it.

Shia glanced at her with an “as expected” expression.

“No particular meaning. I’m just working hard to ensure that the progress between the two masters proceeds smoothly and steadily, rather than rushing things.

I’ve seen many similar counterexamples, most of which go to extremes and fall to rock bottom, then can never get back up.

As the maid of the Tenorvaid family head, I absolutely won’t allow such an outcome.”

“Then you should just give up. I’ll absolutely never get along with an enemy who massacred a city!” Charles said with muffled sounds.

“Is that so…”

Shia replied indifferently, then moved aside a step, pulling her tail out from Charles’s embrace.

Ignoring Charles’s reluctant gaze, she said:

“Then, Master Charles, what style of bra do you prefer?”

As she spoke, she opened the wardrobe.

The corner of Charles’s mouth twitched, stammering for a long time before simply falling silent.

Better to remain silent and leave everything to this professional maid to handle, which could reduce a lot of unnecessary agonizing.

This was hard work for Shia though.

After all, Charles was so adorable and had such a good figure that she looked good in anything. Just from what was in the closet, she could put together dozens of combinations.

Ten minutes later.

Charles successfully evolved from a cute loli into a sporty loli.

Silver hair casually flowing down, a few bangs brushed to her ears, clipped with pink hair clips.

Upper body in a loose white athletic shirt and hooded jacket, lower body in denim shorts, black stockings, and sneakers.

Those already round and slender legs were pressed into fleshiness, with destructive power that even Shia, who had personally coordinated this effect, couldn’t help but want to reach out and pinch them.

However, she ultimately managed to restrain herself.

“Oh right, Master Charles, please take this.”

At this moment, Shia pulled out a brand new black phone from her pocket and handed it to Charles.

“This is a small gift from the master to you. It has all the basic functions, but you can ‘only’ contact the master.”

“She dares give me a phone?”

Charles raised an eyebrow and took the phone to look at it.

In the contacts there was indeed only one “Master,” and without even looking she knew it was that Blood Princess.

She really wanted to delete her!

As if seeing through Charles’s thoughts, Shia immediately reminded her: “Oh right, you can’t delete the master, otherwise the phone will have to be confiscated.”

Charles’s excited hand immediately stopped.

“Tch, fine, I won’t delete it.”

Anyway, this phone was just a means to contact the outside world.

However, she didn’t know what purpose the Blood Princess had in giving her a phone with a SIM card and internet connection.

Did she think Charles would be excited and delighted, then carelessly fall for it and immediately call the Demon Hunter Association for help?

If that was really the case, then she’d have to laugh.

Phones were one of humanity’s technologies.

Even ordinary people knew that phones could be loaded with massive amounts of software and hardware to steal information.

And as hunters, they had a specially crafted communication software and code language just for hunters that wasn’t afraid of theft.

When the time came, she just needed to find an opportunity to immediately contact the Demon Hunter Association, coordinate from inside and outside, and she would definitely be able to reverse her current situation!

Heh, water when thirsty, food when hungry.

It seemed she would be leaving very soon.
