Chapter 15: When My Partner

Early the next morning, Millie slowly woke up.

She opened her eyes, a faint blush lingering on her face.

Last night, the effects of the charm potion had been too intense. Millie had been half out of her mind, but she could still sense that Felusa had thoroughly teased her.

She was unwilling to admit it, but her body had found release.

It wasn’t something to be proud of—just something she deeply resented.

Why did she fall so easily, just like that?

Even with the charm potion, she shouldn’t have thrown herself into Felusa’s arms so willingly!

Millie couldn’t help but glance at the person beside her. Felusa was still lost in her dreams.

All Millie had to do was lie there and let Felusa do as she pleased, but Felusa actually had much more work to do—the physical toll must have been greater than she’d imagined.

Looking at Felusa’s face, Millie’s fist clenched tightly.

Just as she was about to give her a punch, she caught sight of Felusa’s impressive assets.

Millie’s face flushed completely red. She lifted the covers and found that she herself was stark naked as well.

“Aaah, this is so embarrassing!”

Wrestling with Felusa naked? No matter how you think about it, that’s just a reward, isn’t it?

Furious, Millie quietly slipped out from under the blanket. She looked around and found her catgirl costume tossed aside. Her face turned dark with exasperation.

Yesterday, she’d worn this to seduce Felusa?

Ahh, this is just too mortifying!

She’d lost both her body and her pride. Clearly, she wanted to switch from defense to offense!

Millie opened her dimensional storage, fished out her underwear, and hurriedly put them on. With the safety of her undergarments, Millie felt much more secure.

Now, it was time to settle the score with Felusa!

Millie’s delicate fists clenched tight, ready to give Felusa a good beating. Hitting her wasn’t the goal—it was just to wake her up. There was something even more exciting to come!

Today, blood must be spilled—or her anger would never be soothed!

“Felusa, go to hell!——”

Millie shouted, swinging her arm with all her might. She leapt up, channeling all her strength into her elbow and drove it straight into Felusa’s chest.

Bang!——

“Guaaah!——”

Felusa screamed in pain, clutching her stomach and trembling.

She gritted her teeth and glared at Millie. Millie, hands on her hips, looked awfully pleased with herself, even letting out a cute “Hmph-da!~~” sound.

Who knew if she was just venting, or actually flirting.

“Millie, what the hell is wrong with you!?”

“And you have the nerve to ask? What right did you have to push me down!?”

“Weren’t you the one who put on the catgirl costume and came looking for me?”

“I!… Uh, huh?……”

Crap, she couldn’t argue with that!

She’d been the one to take the initiative, yet she was accusing Felusa?

In truth, Millie had her own little schemes, but that wasn’t a valid excuse—and certainly not material for an argument.

Still, things had reached this point. No backing down now!

“I just don’t like you, is that not allowed?”

“You!——”

Felusa gnashed her teeth, but she couldn’t beat Millie in a fight. If things turned physical, she’d definitely be at a disadvantage—and it’d be humiliating, too.

Fine, better heal these ribs first.

That last elbow strike seemed to have broken three ribs.

Felusa lifted the blanket, revealing her graceful figure right in front of Millie—the key point being that she wasn’t wearing any clothes.

Millie’s cheeks flushed bright red, and she hurriedly covered her eyes.

“Quit being a pervert and put some clothes on!”

“Huh? Haven’t you already seen everything?”

“Who—who wants to see you!”

But even as she said that, Millie couldn’t help but peek through her fingers.

Truth be told, she was a bit curious too. Back in the dungeon, her eyes had always been covered, so even after all the witch’s teasing, she’d never actually seen Big Sister’s naked body.

Forget it, she didn’t want to think about it—she bet that woman was hideous anyway!

Otherwise, why would she keep Millie’s eyes covered, right?

But as for Felusa… Millie had to admit, her figure was incredible and very easy on the eyes. Crap, her heart was pounding before she realized it.

She was not—absolutely not—excited!

It was just curiosity, a normal physiological reaction!

Felusa finished healing her injuries, her temper flaring up again. She glared indignantly at Millie, then smirked, making Millie feel completely ill at ease.

“What are you laughing at!……”

“I was just thinking—last night, you were the one being all proactive.”

“Who, who was proactive!?”

Last night, she really had been completely bewitched.

Millie was self-aware enough to know she’d done a lot of shameful things—but she wasn’t going to admit to any of it. Besides, there was no proof!

“Hehe, I knew you wouldn’t admit it, so I left some video evidence.” Felusa took out a Memory Stone. “Millie dear, want to watch it together?”

Seeing the Memory Stone, slumbering memories awoke in her mind.

Yesterday, she’d struck all sorts of humiliating poses while Felusa took plenty of pictures. Even during the main event, the camera hadn’t been turned off.

All those shameful moments were probably recorded.

Felusa licked her lips and put her arm around Millie’s shoulder. Off balance, Millie could only lean against Felusa’s shoulder.

Felusa activated the Memory Stone.

As expected, it displayed Millie’s bashful postures.

And she was endlessly calling out: “Felusa Onee-san, Felusa Onee-san, you’re amazing!~~”

“YAAAAAAAH!——”

Millie, red-faced and furious, snatched the Memory Stone and crushed it with a snap, throwing the shattered pieces to the ground and stomping on them a few times for good measure.

“Felusa, I swear I’m going to kill you!”

Felusa was completely unbothered, cradling her face and gazing at Millie.

“Hehe, I have backups.”

“What…”

“How could I not keep a memento of such a sexy little kitten?”

“Who are you calling a sexy little kitten!——”

That name was way too embarrassing!

Wuwu, if only she’d never worn the catgirl outfit. It was all Felusa’s fault, always wanting to try something new. Wouldn’t a normal night together have been fine? With the lights off, it’s all the same anyway!

Wait, why am I even talking about ‘spending the night’!

“You pervert! When are you going to put some clothes on!”

“This is my room. I’ll go naked if I want.”

No sooner had Felusa said this than she deliberately shook herself.

Millie’s gaze couldn’t help but follow those impressive assets, back and forth, until she finally snapped back to her senses.

“You!… Shameless!——”

There was nothing she could do. If Felusa wanted to streak, let her streak! It’s not like she would lose out. Better to force her to reveal where the negatives were, or she’d never be able to hold her head up again!

“Hurry up and hand over the negatives!”

Millie stretched out her little hand, staring at Felusa with all the pride she could muster.

“I’m not stupid enough to hand them over. If I did, I’d be finished, wouldn’t I?”

“Heh, you think I’ll just let you off? Give them to me now, and kneel to apologize, and I might let you live. Otherwise, you’re dead meat!”

Millie held her breath, golden mana flaring to life.

A murderous aura filled the room, making Felusa’s legs go weak.

“Calm down, will you? Haven’t you forgotten—the miasma in your body still isn’t fully cleared?”

In an instant, most of Millie’s murderous intent dissipated.

That’s right, yesterday Felusa had only removed half the curse.

The other half was still sealed! If she used magic recklessly, the pain would be unbearable! Millie definitely didn’t want to go through that again.

“Relax, the negatives are somewhere very safe.”

Felusa stepped forward and patted Millie’s shoulder.

“As long as I don’t reinforce the barrier within three days, it’ll go ‘bang’ and explode—then everyone will get to see Millie’s yuri photos, won’t they?”

“Y-you!——”

Millie gritted her teeth in fury, but Felusa simply tilted her head back.

“If you kill me, you’ll lose all dignity. Plus, the Church of the Goddess will put a bounty on your head. Then you can forget about ever finding the witch who bullied you.”

Millie shook with rage, but in the end, she endured.

“Wh-what exactly do you want!”

“Millie, I want you to be my *partner.”

For a moment, Millie didn’t understand.

What kind of partner? That kind of partner?

She actually, shamelessly, said something so brazen?
