After all, Valo had never revealed the secret that she had already activated the Holy Relic, the King’s Vessel.
So she could only watch as the relic was temporarily placed in the secret chamber mezzanine of the second-floor small church—the original location of the Eye of the Goddess—under the joint escort of Anqi and the Great Sage.
To enter the secret chamber mezzanine, one must have fingerprint permission.
Her daughter Finney also had it, but if she had to ask Finney for help every time, Miss Hero would have to be stupid not to see that she, as a mother, was hiding something.
So the best way was to solve it once and for all: directly obtain the permission to enter the secret chamber mezzanine from Anqi.
To start Selling the Drum, Valo made a bold decision—inviting a wolf into the house, bringing Anqi back to the dormitory.
Now, evening.
In Valo’s bedroom, she and her three daughters were sitting around a small table, enjoying a warm pre-sleep tea party chat between mother and daughters.
Valo’s reason for bringing Anqi, the “Higher-order Predator,” home was: the answer to lodging.
As for Anqi’s response?
The look in her eyes, as if she wanted to devour her mother, was the best answer.
Holy Maiden even fabricated a seemingly reasonable excuse to tell her other two daughters.
“Anyway, the previous attack at Aerospace City made the Sister Superior decide to add some security devices to my residence. Until it’s done, it’s a bit inconvenient for me to rest in the bed palace, so I came to stay with Mom for a few days~”
Anqi, wearing a white backless camisole, stretched the pair of pure white wings behind her back comfortably, and even managed to sneak a wink at Valo, who was pretending to be dead while drinking milk tea.
tap.
As if to say: “Mom, isn’t my excuse pretty good?”
Valo’s comment: Indeed, people’s intelligence is comparable to Einstein’s when they are sneaking around.
“Mom still has Finney and Kaika’s protection, so Sister Superior can rest assured~”
Finney looked as if she wanted to question: Doesn’t the prestigious Hidden Sea Church Headquarters even have spare rooms? The guest rooms are quite spacious, aren’t they?
But the considerate Miss Hero ultimately pouted and didn’t ruin the harmonious atmosphere of maternal affection and filial piety.
Nice try.
As Anqi cheerfully talked about the days of the previous trip to recover the Holy Relic, sharing the time spent with Valo and every little thing…
Even Miss Hero soon broke her composure.
“Mom’s sleeping posture after falling asleep is really not very elegant. Rolling around on my wings, it pressed on me and hurt a bit.”
Anqi rubbed her shoulder.
Seemingly sighing and complaining, it was clearly showing off to Finney and Kaika that she had “slept with Mom.”
“Going to the seaside with Mom is also troubling. After Mom put on a swimsuit, she was mistaken for a lost child by the lifeguard more than once.”
Valo was about to ask: Anqi, how did you know? After applying sunscreen, didn’t you run off quickly?
But the next moment, she clearly felt a resentful gaze from her filial daughter Kaika, secretly piercing her.
She even seemed to hear the sound of swallowing from her hero daughter?
“Yawn…”
Valo quickly pretended to yawn and stretched: “Stop, daughters. Mom suddenly feels a bit sleepy.”
“T-today’s chat ends here.”
Saying that, she drained the milk tea from the cup, wiped the residue from her lips with her finger, “Everyone, wash up and rest early. Tomorrow we still have to study and work at the Clock Tower~”
What followed was…
Silence.
And the daughters’ gazes—Anqi smiling openly in a duck-sit pose, Kaika still with that dark, creeping attitude.
But Finney finally couldn’t help it and stammered, “Mom, where will Anqi sleep tonight? Our dormitory has no empty rooms left.”
Valo clicked her tongue inwardly: Tsk, didn’t fool them.
She could only raise her head under the pressure of her daughters’ gazes and force a motherly smile she thought was “clear conscience.”
“Ohh~ Anqi, she rarely comes. Let Anqi sleep here with me, Mom, tonight.”
In an instant, her bedroom fell silent.
Not only did Anqi by her side show a slightly surprised reaction, then look her over thoughtfully.
Even Finney frowned and hesitated, and her filial daughter Kaika had a look of disgust.
The two daughters seemed to ask.
“Mom, don’t let Anqi catch you by the handle and threaten you again?”
“Mom, are you senile? Being tricked by the Saintess in different ways?”
That’s not it at all!
Valo tried hard to puff out her chest to look a bit more confident!
Isn’t it natural for a mother and daughter to sleep together?
What’s the problem? What do you want!?
…Of course there’s no problem.
It’s just that when her two daughters left the room, they had a “it’s not over tonight” reaction.
Even though Valo was perfectly aware that her behavior just now was very strange, she couldn’t care less.
Because: to get the access permission to the chapel’s secret chamber mezzanine from Anqi, the opportunities and time left for her were few.
Thus.
After washing up and tidying the room simply, Valo turned off the lights early.
Using the night scenery outside the window, she crept onto the bed on all fours.
Her saintess daughter Anqi was already lying on the bed in a proper and elegant sleeping posture, waiting for her.
Even at the moment Valo approached, she considerately spread half of her wings for her.
Soft, comfortable.
Carrying Anqi’s body heat and the fragrance of the young girl.
Far superior to the down pillow!
But only tonight Valo couldn’t enjoy it—staring at the star-studded night sky outside the window, she was considering exactly what wording to use to ask Anqi for the secret chamber permission.
Must hurry! Otherwise, what if the saintess with a proper sleep schedule next to her falls asleep soon?
However, the next moment!
The young girl suddenly turned sideways and hugged her, making Valo realize: Anqi sleeps early and wakes early?
Hmph!
This saintess daughter of hers is even more eager than she is!
The moment she confirmed that Valo was resting on her wings, the young girl eagerly twisted around and pressed her body down with smooth arms and pale white thighs.
What she felt next was a wetness at her neck and the rubbing of lips and teeth—Anqi was licking her neck!?
Valo trembled nervously and quickly asked in a low voice, “A-Anqi? Are you again…”
No way? She clearly remembered that in the game setting, the Blood Source Curse, when temporarily suppressed, could last at least a few days.
The answer that came back was Anqi’s response, which was not saintly at all, but rather very perverted.
“Of course not, Mom. I just want to practice a little~”
The young girl did not waste a single opportunity. Even during pauses between words, she continued to savor her skin.
“And also to think about what biting technique to use in the future so that Mom won’t feel any pain.”
“Ah~ Mom, isn’t there a way that when I bite, you feel only pleasure and no pain?”
That’s called erotic interest, not a contract! Bloodsucking is a method used by high-order vampires to control their kin and assert dominance!
If you don’t cause a bit of pain to your kin, how can you show your authority and power?
Anqi, do you think you’re one of those useless cute vampires who talk big but immediately get entangled with a Holy Knight after biting them?
Valo almost choked on her breath from Anqi’s words.
She could only endure the sense of being captured by the young girl, and the tingling, indescribable comfort at her neck.
Because: this was her best chance tonight to Sell the Drum!
Isn’t pillow talk always done at times like this?
“A-Anqi, can Mom discuss something with you?”
“Hm?” The young girl’s soft laugh came by her ear. “Mom, you’ve finally decided to speak up?”
“Uh?”
“I vaguely felt it when you suggested sleeping with me tonight.”
The young girl deliberately blew air by her ear, making Valo’s ear tickle and her breathing uneven.
“Usually, you would definitely send me to sleep with Finney. So at that time, I thought: your invitation to me today must be because you want something from me.”
“How awkward, Mom. You could have just asked me directly at the Clock Tower. Now it’s like you’re a thief.”
Because she really was being a thief.
Valo was sweating a little: now that things had come to this, she had no way back. She could only fight to the end.
“Anqi, Mom wants… to get the permission from you to enter the second-floor small church mezzanine secret chamber.”
The young girl’s licking finally stopped.
“Can’t Finney and I both help you open the secret chamber?”
“Mom wants permission to come and go on her own, not… the kind where I ask you to help temporarily once or twice.”
To put it bluntly: she wanted an access card, not teammates to help open it.
Pausing, knowing that simply asking like this would definitely not convince Anqi, Valo continued to add, “Mom seems to have some resonance with the Holy Relic—the King’s Vessel—that was recovered earlier. Maybe I can activate it.”
“But I don’t want to tell everyone loudly, so I plan to try to contact it secretly.”
This half-true explanation indeed made Anqi silent for a while.
The saintess under the night suddenly said softly, “Mom, even though only you can suppress my Blood Source Curse for now, I am still a saintess of the Church.”
“My position gives me absolute bottom lines. If you, as the Demon King, do something bad, I would rather sacrifice my own future than shrink back because of fear of the Blood Source Curse.”
Valo almost laughed out loud: “Come on, Holy Maiden, in your Fallen Angel Route in the game, it’s you who destroyed the Empire and the Church the most.”
But she wouldn’t reveal that secret.
Besides: this time she wanted to contact the King’s Vessel not because she wanted to do evil.
“You’re overthinking, Anqi. Mom just wants to simply touch the Holy Relic. I definitely won’t do anything bad with it.”
Saying that, Valo remembered she had a way to prove it. She unbuttoned the collar button of her pajamas and took out the necklace [Eye of the Goddess] from her neck.
“Anqi, if you don’t believe me, Mom can let the Eye of the Goddess prove it.”
She was busy, but the young girl beside her pillow didn’t care at all whether the Eye of the Goddess reacted.
“Mom, I don’t disbelieve you to the point that you need to use the Eye of the Goddess to prove your attitude.”
“Even if you take out the Eye of the Goddess, to me it’s just unbuttoning to seduce me, you know?”
Saying that… the young girl even reached into the clothes where Valo had unbuttoned and poked.
Hit the bullseye! Is she cheating? So accurate?
“Ah!” Valo’s whole body trembled. She puffed up her cheeks in anger. “Then why didn’t you stop me? Why just watch!?”
The reason?
In the quiet bedroom under the night.
Amid the sounds of each other’s breathing, suddenly the sound of the young girl swallowing came—that was the reason.
Valo quickly buttoned the button back—”No, no, right?”
Because from the act of her and Anqi sleeping in the same bed tonight, Valo knew even with her buttocks that… it must be very “lively” outside the room right now.
Sure enough, on the other side.
Miss Hero was tossing and turning, unable to sleep no matter what because she was worried about her mother and Anqi’s situation.
When Finney finally made up her mind, opened the window, quietly climbed out, planning to observe her mother and Anqi’s current situation… and position from her mother’s bedroom window, she discovered…
Kaika was already there.
“You’re late, sister.”
“This spot is full. Find another position.”
The black-haired elf girl was mocking her with an expression that said, “You’re too late even to eat shit.”
So annoying.
