Chapter 133

—–

Emeraldine said some very pretty words to me that really got me going. My heart was beating very fast despite not having any heart to speak of, but I really felt quite agitated. I felt like she was really pouring her emotions and heart into me with those captivating words. I desired to suddenly stay at her side and protect her even more than before…

Emeraldine smiled cutely as she hugged me, but I suddenly realized that behind her cute and spirited nature, there was still a broken woman, someone that had gone through the worst things this world has to offer unjustly and without deserving any of that.

Poor little Emeraldine, she had really gone through a lot… It made me happy to be such an important figure in her life. It was very flattering…

I suddenly held her hands tightly with my hand, as I looked at her eyes with my own. Her beautiful emerald eyes shone brightly as my crimson-red eyes looked deep into her soul. Her beautiful and shiny soul filled with light and life. She was the very opposite of all I was, yet she was relying on me so much…

“I am happy that you see me that way, Emeraldine… I will make sure to make up for it and become a figure you can always rely on,” I said.

I couldn’t help but smile gently at her as she felt overwhelmed by my words.

“Maria…! I… I lov- Huh? Who’s there?!”

Emeraldine was suddenly startled by the presence of someone staring at us. I quickly looked in the direction of the figure, and who was staring at us was… Lucifer of all people.

“Uwah! I-I wasn’t staring! I… Why are you so intimidated all of a sudden?!” He roared back, as if trying to gain some reason to be here by getting angry over our intimidating moment…

“What’s so wrong about it? You perverted old dragon! Go away! You’re staring at us while being naked! Do you have no shame?!” Roared Emeraldine as she grabbed some stones and began to throw them at Lucifer.

However, I did notice that he wasn’t staring at Emeraldine but at my body. His eyes were fixated on my body more than anything. And he was blushing a lot while doing so. I don’t know what’s so special about my body, but I could clearly tell he liked it a lot.

“What’s wrong, Lucifer~? See something you like?” I teasingly asked as he swallowed saliva.

“N-No! Stop looking at Maria!” Roared Emeraldine as she covered my body with her own and suddenly conjured a ray of holy light towards Lucifer.

“Ugh?!”

BOOOMMM!!!

“Emeraldine! What the heck did you do?! That’s a bit too much!” I said.

“But he was staring! That perverted… lizard!” She angrily shouted while blushing a bit.

Lucifer ended up angering her a lot as he had interrupted our very important and special time together. Well, I also felt angry he showed up out of nowhere. I was also enjoying my time with my cute elf.

However, I felt worried. Emeraldine’s magic can purify Undead easily, so she could have accidentally killed him with that ray. I jumped out of the lake butt naked as I reached up to him and began conjuring Undead Healing on him.

The burns and wounds on his chest and stomach quickly recovered as he groaned in pain.

“M-Maria…?” He muttered, faintly opening his eyes, as my face greeted his sight… and well, the rest of my body, which he quickly inspected.

“Are you okay, Lucifer? Did that hurt?” I sighed as I petted his head.

“I-I am fine…! But you’re naked!” He shouted.

“Huh? You’re always naked in your dragon form, aren’t you?” I asked.

“B-But that’s completely different than this! Ahhh…! S-Such a sexy body!” He exclaimed.

He couldn’t contain himself any longer, praising my body as if he were looking at a tasty treat.

“Huh?! Sexy?” I asked in surprise.

He suddenly threw me to the ground as he trapped me with his arms. His face slowly approached me as he looked down on my body.

“M-Maria, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? You want me to take you? R-Right…? I-I cannot contain myself any longer… my heart… my cold heart is beating so fast…! I cannot contain myself… this growing lust… this growing passion! Maria… I lov-”

CLASH!

“Guuaggh…!”

BOOM!

Lucifer was interrupted from his debauchery by a flying kick from Emeraldine as he was thrown into the ground, rolling over it and landing his head into a tree trunk, which accidentally made it break and fall over him.

TRUUMM…!

“W-Wait! Lucifer!” I cried in horror, checking his status.

He was fine…

“Maria, I saved you from that perverted man! D-Don’t worry, as long as I am here with you. I won’t let that nasty dragon take advantage of you….” She said.

“Advantage of me? I know he was being a bit pushy, but I can fend by myself-”

“You clearly can’t! Y-You’re way too dummy!” She exclaimed.

“W-Who are you calling dummy?! I am not a dummy! I am very intelligent, in fact,” I said while nodding and smiling pridefully of my own advanced and superior intellect.

“Y-You’re indeed very intelligent, Maria… B-But not that much in certain areas… I… I will make sure to protect you, alright?” She cutely said as she held my hands tightly and smiled back at me with a loving smile.

Our faces began to slowly approach one another out of reflex. I didn’t know what kind of supernatural force was forcing me to get closer to her beautiful and flawless face, but this elven woman was way too beautiful to easily stop looking at…

“Maria… L-Let me… take your first ki-”

“Master?!”

Partner suddenly showed up behind us as she was raising her spear. Her eyes shone with bright crimson-red light, glaring at the entire situation… Lucifer also slowly stood up from at her side, sighing angrily.

“W-Why did you kick me like that?!” He cried out.
