Chapter 67: Interrupted Intimacy

“Ugh… this, this…”

Hiss—

Confronted by the white-haired boy’s sudden request, Allyrose bit her lip in acute embarrassment. A soft gulp escaped her.

‘What kind of bizarre request is this?!’

If she hadn’t misunderstood his intention, what this guy meant was… he wanted to, wanted to…

…do the very same thing Jason had done in the bathroom yesterday?

‘Ugh—!’

‘No, no, he must be out of his mind! If he wants to do something like that, shouldn’t he just do it secretly? I can’t possibly keep an eye on him every day, and whatever he does is none of my business anyway…’

‘Why does he have to ask me about it? Ugh… asking if he can use me as a side dish for… that, right in front of me…’

‘This, this, this… how am I supposed to answer?!’

‘If I say no… it’s the same thing—even if I say no, I can’t stop him, so what’s the point? Besides, the white-haired boy is clearly still angry, so refusing him doesn’t seem like a good idea.’

‘But, gulp… am I supposed to agree? Wouldn’t that be even more insane? Ugh… this, this, this strange permission, it’s almost like… declaring some sort of peculiar relationship!’

‘This is absolutely preposterous—!’

Gulp…

After a long moment, Allyrose nervously swallowed. It was then that she finally seemed to grasp something, blinking her eyes in sudden realization. ‘I… I get it!’

‘This is a clever trick from the white-haired boy, like deliberately asking a girl if he can pursue her. There’s no reason to refuse, but once I agree, he’ll gain the upper hand…’

‘So…’

‘The best way to deal with his move is to…’

‘Hit him with a direct approach!’

‘You… you want to ask for my permission, don’t you? Then… I’ll deliberately act as if he can only proceed with my explicit approval!’

‘I’ll seize complete control of the initiative~’

Hmph, hmph…

Following this line of thought, the twin-tailed fox girl blinked her foxy eyes after a moment, then softly and gently began to speak:

“You may… but only this once, hmph… I really can’t do anything about you, my little puppy. Are you truly that infatuated with your older sister? Well, I suppose I’ll just have to keep spoiling you~

“Commit this sight before you to memory, and then… head to the bathroom. I’ll be right here, waiting for your return~”

“Hmm… I apologize, Miss Allyrose, but… I wasn’t planning on going to the bathroom.”

“No… no, huh?!”

Allyrose was momentarily taken aback. If he wasn’t going to the bathroom, where was the white-haired boy planning to go?

Hiss—

‘Could it be, could it be, c-c-could this white-haired boy want to do it right here in the corridor!!!’

‘That’s, that’s a bit too much, ahem… This hospital isn’t empty, ugh…’

‘I absolutely cannot let this white-haired boy pull off something so outrageous and embarrass me!’

Er…

After a moment, seeing the look of disdain in Allyrose’s eyes, the Demon Lord subtly cleared his throat twice. Luo Jia, understanding that she had likely completely misunderstood, quickly began to explain himself:

“What I meant was… I don’t want to go anywhere… I just want to stay right here, watching you directly~”

“Eh? What do you mean, you’re not leaving? Wait, wait a minute! Calm down, calm down—!”

As Luo Jia slowly began to take action, the twin-tailed fox girl finally realized what he intended to do. In a panic, she tried to scramble up, attempting to break free from Luo Jia’s grasp.

Only, alas…

Her resistance was futile~

****

And so, after a while… inside the hospital room, Luo Jia quietly placed the firewood upon the hearth.

Ugh~

Allyrose felt a wave of acute embarrassment. Though the firewood wasn’t directly touching the woodpile, and there were…

…layers of fabric obstructing it…

But…

…fanning a fire by hand and placing firewood directly onto the surface of a fire to ignite it…

…these were fundamentally different!

‘Oh… the hearth is so hot,呜~’

“No, white-haired boy, stop it now!”

Unable to maintain her ‘bad girl’ facade any longer, Allyrose quickly began to plead. Yet, Luo Jia seemed far from satisfied. After a moment, he leaned close to her ear and whispered with a wicked grin:

“Before, I was always just making you comfortable, Allyrose. This time… be good, listen to me just once, alright~?”

“Ugh… gulp…”

Miss Pseudo-Saintess couldn’t utter a single word, only closing her eyes and letting this lowly demon…

Until…

“I’m back~ Ah, time for work!”

Suddenly, the hospital room door was pushed open by a doctor from the Royal Hospital who had just arrived for their shift! The two on the bed were startled, and Luo Jia quickly released Allyrose from his hold…

They both scrambled up, pulling the bed curtains shut as they frantically tidied up. After a minute of hurried commotion, to avoid suspicion, Allyrose promptly pulled the curtains open again. The bed was already…

…perfectly made… G-generally, it probably wouldn’t look like anything was wrong… Ahem…

As for Allyrose’s attire, ahem… Luo Jia had taken advantage of the chaos to drape a large hospital gown over the girl, ensuring she was completely covered from head to toe, so there was no issue…

G-generally, probably…

But Allyrose wasn’t actually a patient, ahem…

However, perhaps because Allyrose’s stay at the Royal Hospital was due to the King’s special connections, the doctor didn’t dare pry into her private affairs. The older sister in white merely blinked, then casually asked:

“How is it? The patient’s condition… hmm… looks much better, doesn’t it? Do you feel any other pain in your body? You seem to be bouncing around already…”

“Ah… y-yes! It should be… no major problem anymore!”

‘She was more than just bouncing around; she was… already bouncing in several ways!’

“Hmm, in that case, you can be discharged today. Just go home and rest for a few days, it’s good that there are no major issues.”

The doctor nodded, then added this. Ah… after all, these two were using the Royal family’s connections, and they… they didn’t have to pay. Staying an extra day meant freeloading off the hospital for another day…

They were even occupying an entire private room, and the doctor didn’t dare let other patients move in…

“Oh, oh, okay, I understand! We’ll pack up and leave in a bit~!”

Afraid of being exposed, Allyrose seemed unwilling to make eye contact with the doctor, merely trying to appease them. After a moment, she finally watched the doctor nod, then pick up some tools and head to another room…

The young girl and boy instantly let out a sigh of relief on the spot…

‘Ah, why does it feel like we just got caught in the act?’

Allyrose and Luo Jia exchanged glances… A moment later, Allyrose’s face was the first to flush crimson.

After a long pause, she lowered her head, gently poked her fingertips together, then turned to the white-haired boy and asked:

“Um… how about… I help you wash your clothes when we get home?”

“I’m not that fast!”

Tsk…

‘R-really… this guy…’

The silver-haired boy cast a resentful glance towards the hospital room door. This doctor had arrived at… truly the worst possible time.

Ugh…

“So now… what do we do?”

Allyrose’s voice trembled slightly as she asked, a strange, thrilling anticipation welling up within her heart.

‘N-no… he wouldn’t continue, would he?’
