Chapter 24: Help Me Get It Out!

“You bastard! What are you doing?!”

“I’m…”

Heavens… What is she doing… Could she be… doing that to her own Student…

“And you blame the Magic Mark! I think you just can’t control yourself!”

Huayin lay on the bed, her back and hips arched high, her gaze passing between her legs to meet Ange’s eyes, which had turned into heart shapes.

“You! Do you have any sense of teacher’s morality?! I’m suffering so much right now! And you’re just sitting there!”

“T-then! Then what do you want me to do?! What am I supposed to do?!”

Ange twisted her head with all her strength, trying to shake off that Evil Thought in her mind.

She knew she couldn’t just keep sitting, but squeezing her legs together really felt too good…

No way around it. She slapped her face and quickly stood up, kicking her chair aside.

“Help me out here!”

“Tell me, what do you want me to do? What can I do to make you more comfortable?”

“This is my first time laying this kind of egg, okay? It used to be Quail Eggs, now it’s Chicken Eggs… Bring me my Bath Towel to pad underneath me.”

“Pad underneath?”

“Of course! Otherwise it’ll get all over the place!”

“Alright, alright! I got it!”

Ange found the fancy Bath Towel that had been hung up ahead of time in Huayin’s bathroom.

She muttered to herself, as expected of a lady from a great family—even her Bath Towel is so extravagant.

“Here’s the Bath Towel.”

Ange tried hard not to let her gaze drift to the wrong places. She spread the Bath Towel flat and placed it under Huayin’s hips.

“And now?”

“How would I know!”

Huayin’s voice had gone from being fairly elegant just moments ago to practically a roar now, as if she were enduring immense pain, flames of agony burning in her red eyes.

“Tch! It hurts so much…”

“Uh, can I ask something—if you have to lay an egg every year, doesn’t that mean you only have one chance to get pregnant each year?”

Trying to distract Huayin from her pain as much as possible, Ange deliberately put on a serious face and asked something silly.

“Yes! What about it?!”

“So your pregnancy rate is actually really low, huh? Now that I think about it, your future husband is going to be so lucky—no days of blood and struggle, well, not none, but only for a few days at least.”

“What are you talking about?! Do you even hear yourself?!”

“Uh! I’m just trying to make you laugh and relax a bit!”

“Fat lot of good that does! You’re hopeless at telling jokes! Am I supposed to tell you, since you have to do that every day because of the Magic Mark, does that mean you can just go wild with that anytime you want!”

“Uh… That really wasn’t funny…”

“You idiot! Tch! Why is it taking so long! Come help me already!”

“Huh? How am I supposed to help?”

Ange carefully walked to the direction of Huayin’s rear, still making every effort to avert her eyes and be as respectful as possible—no peeking.

“Oh, right. By the way, when you lay eggs, does it break that membrane? No offense! I’m just curious!”

“Curious about that?! You pervert!”

“Aiya… Sorry! I shouldn’t have asked!”

“Never mind that! Hurry up and… help me… I’m really uncomfortable…”

“What do I do?”

“Help me… pull it out… I think it’s stuck…”

“Ah?! Pull it out…”

Ange froze up completely.

She looked at the opening that kept tensing and relaxing, and couldn’t even imagine sticking her hand in to grab something out of there.

The image in her mind was too much—she really couldn’t bring herself to picture it.

“Hurry up! What are you hesitating for! Backing out now?!”

“Alright! Alright!”

Ange slapped her own cheeks again, this time so hard her fair face turned red.

The sting jolted her mind clear for a moment, and she kept telling herself, this was her responsibility, a price she had to pay for the outcome.

It’s just putting her hand in and taking something out, that’s all—just like delivering a baby.

“I’m! I’m coming!”

Just treat it like dealing with a Demon! Right! She’s dealing with—a Demon!

That opening is a Demon’s giant mouth, and right now!

This big mouth has swallowed someone! And she! Has to rescue them from inside!

That’s right! It’s just snatching food from a Demon’s jaws! She can do it!

Ange’s demeanor suddenly turned icy, her violet eyes glowing faintly, every restless muscle in her body snapping to precise, machine-like control.

She slipped her fingers in, feeling around.

“Not deep enough! A bit further!”

“Deeper!”

“Stop! You touched it!”

“Move it a little! Maybe it’ll stop being stuck!”

“Don’t worry! A Phoenix’s Eggshell is tough! Not even a handgun could break it!”

“Ugh ugh! Your fingers are inside me, this feels so damn weird!”

“Move it a bit more!”

“Ugh! Ugh! It’s coming!”

“Catch it!”

With a smack, Ange caught the egg, about the size of a Chicken Egg.

She cupped the white egg in both hands, and just thinking that there might already be her own child growing inside made her cheeks flush.

“Is that it, Huayin? It should be over now, right?”

“Move! Get out of the way!”

“Eh?”

With a tearing sound, the same bodily fluid from the egg sprayed across Ange’s face, the foul-smelling liquid running into the corner of her mouth.

Even for this seasoned Demon Hunter, who’d seen her share of horrors—

She screamed.

“Ahhhhh! What is this?!”
