Valo was quickly packaged as the “Hero’s long-lost mother.”
Then, with Phinney’s cooperation, she successfully fooled the aggressive official Subjugation Team that had come to slay the Demon King.
No one dared to raise a question.
In the game’s setting, the Female Hero, Phinney Kess, did indeed possess a portion of Demon blood.
Furthermore, at this point in time, the young girl had already secured a formidable position within the Empire due to her immense talent, strength, and status as the Hero.
Who would dare oppose her?
And so, that night.
In Sunset City, a frontier town within the Empire’s territory.
Valo, who had been properly settled in a guest room of the Lord’s manor, didn’t feel the slightest bit sleepy.
She was wearing a white nightgown provided by the Hero, Phinney, which was a size too large.
The garment slipped off her small shoulders in a display of accidental charm as she sat hugging a pillow and picking at her toes.
“You have to pretend to be my mother. That’s the only way to avoid an investigation into your identity.”
This was the flustered explanation Phinney had given this morning after making that explosive “be my mother” statement.
… ‘Why couldn’t it be a long-lost older sister or younger sister?’
‘Even a daughter would work.’
‘Why does it have to be a mother? Do I really look like some loli widow who just lost her husband and abandoned her child?’
But Valo had no choice at the time. She could only agree to the Hero’s eccentric request.
Looking back now, Valo suspected the other girl might have some sort of dark, crawling intentions toward her…
As if to confirm this, the very next moment!
Knock, knock
A knock sounded at the door! However, the voice that followed did not belong to Kaika, but to her other “daughter.”
“Mama, I’m coming in.”
Immediately afterward, without even giving Valo time to respond, the Hero pushed the door open and entered.
Under the candlelight, the girl’s red hair was tied into a ponytail.
Having shed her combat gear and chest wraps, her youthful, slender figure and the two unripe fruits on her chest were faintly visible through the shadows of her dress.
Her crimson eyes seemed to burn with a flickering flame called desire. From the moment she stepped through the door, her gaze was fixed on Valo’s small body.
Valo instinctively hugged her pillow tighter. ‘Why does this scene feel like a yuri eroge?’
The Female Hero, who appeared righteous on the surface but was actually a lesbian demon incarnate, would use the excuse of “assistance” to remodel and condition the captured loli Demon King—”Mama, you wouldn’t want your identity as the Demon King to be exposed, would you?”
She certainly didn’t have any fetishes for that sort of thing!
“He-Hero, I was just about to rest. Your timing might not be great…”
Valo’s bottom shifted back quietly.
Sensing her nervousness, Phinney finally reined in that predatory gaze, which could only be described as “insatiable.”
However, the girl showed no intention of leaving. Instead, she lowered her voice…
“That’s not the right way to address me, is it?”
She then clicked the door shut, locking it.
Approaching Valo, the girl gave a stiff, soft cough. “In name, you are my mother now. If you continue to call me ‘Hero,’ it will arouse suspicion from those who know me, especially the other members of my team.”
Their eyes met under the flickering candlelight. Valo could clearly see that this Hero, who had been heroic, valiant, and capable of solo-clearing objectives this morning, now looked awkward, bashful, and twisted.
“For that reason… I’m here to give you special training!”
“You must get used to the identity of ‘my mother.’ Let’s start with how you address me—please call me dau… daughter. No, no, that’s still too early. Try calling me ‘Phinney’ first!”
Phinney’s nervous attitude actually made Valo breathe a private sigh of relief. When the girl had staged this night raid, Valo thought she had encountered some kind of pervert.
Looking at it now… ‘What is this? So she’s just a student looking for her mother?’
Valo quickly felt at ease. Given Phinney’s setting in Valorant, this Female Hero was truly capable of such behavior!
Both the Hero Phinney Kess and the slave elf Kaika were among the “optional daughters” available from the main perspective of the game.
It was just that Phinney started in a different opening and had a different main storyline.
In the setting, Phinney was also an orphan. It wasn’t strange for her to want to acknowledge a ready-made mother.
‘I’ll just humoring her with a few words. Besides, I can use Phinney to mask my identity as the villainous Demon King.’
Being the “Hero’s mother” was much easier than being hunted by the Subjugation Team. Valo didn’t want to spend her days hiding.
“Fine, fine, I’ll say it.”
So, in the next moment, Valo made the decision she would regret most in her life. She adopted a gentle tone and coaxed, “Phinney… Phinney…”
“!”
The girl in front of her froze instantly, trying her best to suppress her heavy breathing!
Closing her eyes and silently feeling the moment, she didn’t forget to urge, “A-Again. Just two more times, Mama!”
“Phinney, Phinney, my good daughter Phinney… Uh?”
“One… one more time. Really, this is the last time!”
Silence fell…
The girl opened her eyes with some confusion, looking at Valo, who had suddenly stopped speaking. “Ma… Mama?”
Valo could no longer respond.
Because…
From the moment she had uttered the words “good daughter Phinney,” a Nurturing Panel—the same one as Kaika’s—had appeared in her field of vision as she looked at the girl!
This clearly meant the Female Hero, Phinney, had also become her daughter!
‘This… this isn’t right, is it? You’re only supposed to be able to raise one daughter at a time in the game!’
Furthermore, Valo noticed Phinney’s panel. The fact that her stats were all top-tier was secondary; the critical issue was that Phinney’s unique stat, the Justice Value, was nearly at 100%!
In Phinney’s route, this was the “kill threshold”!
If one chose Phinney’s start in the game, the villainous Demon King and the Hero Phinney were destined to face a tragic choice. If the daughter’s Justice Value wasn’t controlled…
Once it hit the maximum, Phinney would choose to kill her own parent for the sake of the world and justice in a key plot point, and then take her own life. It was a double-sized Scripted Kill!
It felt terrible! She could hardly breathe. She shouldn’t have gone around calling people “daughter” just now!
She hadn’t even severed her mother-daughter relationship with Kaika yet, and now she had another Hero daughter who would stop talking and start killing at a moment’s notice?
“Uh, well… Phinney, I…”
‘Can we just forget the whole “me being your mother” thing? Or how about we flip it around, and you can be my mother instead?’
Valo forced herself to swallow the words of separation.
She had no chance to go back on it now. Being in the enemy’s headquarters, she could only endure for now and look for an opportunity to sever the relationship later.
If she backed out now, Phinney definitely wouldn’t help her hide her identity as the villainous Demon King!
Because the little girl in front of her was clearly serious! In the blink of an eye, she had pushed her luck by climbing onto the bed, then made a request as if she hadn’t had enough.
“Cough. Ne-Next is training for physical contact. After all, Mama, our relationship needs to appear close.”
“For that, Mama, can I… hug you?”
Valo’s lips twitched. Did she have any room to refuse?
She could only open her arms and watch as the girl dove into her embrace!
Two hands immediately lifted her nightgown, followed by the girl burying her face deep against her.
“Inhale… Mama, you smell so good. Your legs are so soft…”
“Ah… I’ve been born again…”
The numbness brought by that hot breath made Valo unable to move, as if she had touched an electric fence.
And this… was only the beginning.
After several rounds of deep, epic inhaling, the girl tilted her head. Her gaze was clearly fixed on Valo’s chest.
She reached out, gently pinching the fabric over Valo’s chest.
“Mama, can I have milk?”
……
However, the two people currently immersed in their mother-daughter roleplay did not notice…
Outside the window, in the night…
A pair of dark purple eyes had quietly witnessed everything happening in the room.
“Mother… you’ve become much more interesting than before…”
The elf girl named Kaika muttered softly in the wind.
The girl was the daughter and slave the Demon King Valo Rante II had picked up when they were young.
At one point, she had once believed she was merely her mother’s possession.
But exactly when did it start? The girl had grown a bit tired of her mother—the abuse, punishment, and being ordered around.
Her useless mother was not only a waste as a Demon King, but she only had a few ways of bossing her around.
So, even though the girl had a real chance to assassinate the Female Hero, she had intentionally failed and returned.
She was a bit bored. Perhaps it would be more interesting to personally deal with her current mother and then use the Hero’s sympathy to find a different, new mother?
But this morning…
Just when the girl was ready to strike, her incompetent mother had made an unexpected decision—severing their mother-daughter relationship.
‘Mother seems to have changed a bit?’
‘Hehe… that’s more like it. That way, things won’t be boring.’
The girl suddenly didn’t want to deal with her mother anymore.
She wanted to see her useless mother’s weak appearance and the conflicted expression she made when she clearly disliked her but felt forced to protect her… It was delicious.
Therefore…
“How could I let you sever our relationship, Mother?”
The girl murmured, her gaze falling on the Female Hero, Phinney, who was currently being held by her mother.
This Hero had clearly latched onto her mother.
She didn’t know why, but…
“I feel like I hate her a little… the Female Hero Phinney.”
“Don’t you have a mother of your own?”
