Lilith slowly rose, fists trembling, one eye twitching with unfiltered rage.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYJmNEA1Ju
Her voice echoed like a thunderclap.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP4qBqGWvy
“HOW DARE YOU PUNCH A DEMON PRINCESS!!!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0qUakmw6U
Eleo, a few yards away, stood with a proud grin, dusting off his hands.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4S7stvahJ
“I dunno what a Princs is, but it sounds like a really bad thing!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReZQXpvEXL
Lilith’s jaw dropped. “It’s princess, you fur-brained dolt!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVn6zQZhkQ
Without waiting for her rant to finish, Eleo took off running.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRrZCXqQsm
“ROUND TWO, HERE WE GOOOO!!!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehLqW5QL8U
Lilith’s wings shot out and she launched into the sky, rising above the trees.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Eo4kKq161
“STOP, YOU MORON!” she yelled down. “I’m not here to take over the world, you idiot—I’m just asking for—!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6oCHSAYTE
“INK BARRAGE!!!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw52kYhoXQ
Eleo jumped high into the air, fists flailing like a mad blender.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqWLCEKm5b
Lilith’s eyes widened. “Oh, come on—!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0O9O07C9L
POP!
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pxAbcwIOo
A glowing violet magic bubble appeared around her just in time, absorbing every one of Eleo’s rapid punches.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuQF6pmLvi
“Pew! Pow! Pow! POWPOWPOW!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsigUQCNe4
He bounced harmlessly off her shield like a confused hamster in a hamster ball.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WcxuFglGf
After a few seconds of bouncing, gravity won.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZeHzElRUx
THUD.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5VnXIWrCQ
Eleo landed face-first in the dirt with a soft “oof.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkSVPOMYNL
He looked up at her, covered in grass and mud, and shouted:
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVatWjrWBN
“COME DOWN AND FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvImnvH9iP
Lilith growled, her eye twitching again.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KGRNN2X6Z
“I’M NOT A MAN, YOU FLEA-INFESTED CARROT CLOWN!!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT2qZ09FSr
The bubble popped, and she dropped down to the forest floor with a dramatic swoosh of her dress. Her boots hit the ground, and she raised her hands up slowly in a non-threatening stance.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i3AdLhhfU
“See? No weapons. I’m not your enemy, okay?”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG7JDL8aXV
Eleo narrowed his eyes, suspicious.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqi6rnN7KG
Then, without warning, he ran in circles around her, checking every angle like a tiny, overly dramatic bodyguard.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhBF7Q5rIX
Lilith’s face turned bright red.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrklnRdVqH
“W-What are y-you d-doing!?”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInNhHhoCcq
Eleo crouched behind her, sniffed the air, then circled back around.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja6sEt3fxM
“I’m checking you out.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTb2ExLA6f
“HUH?!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Nn3h5NVRb
“Yup! I’m makin’ sure you don’t have any hidden weapons!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTLKkGLsuv
He poked her side gently.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDnzD6Kal5
“Hmm. Nothing in the ribs…”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0bIOlHxju
Lilith’s fists clenched. “C-Can you NOT grope me like I’m some sort of goblin piñata?!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0v3U2KbPd
After a few more awkward pats and pokes, Eleo stepped back with a bright smile and a thumbs-up.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuqBDprNRI
“All clear! I trust you now!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQeWJmRtQW
Lilith’s eye twitched.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd16yRsJZGS
“…Great. Super. I feel honored.” Her voice dripped with sarcasm.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQGvJ25CXY
Eleo tilted his head. “Sooo… now that we’re friends, what was it you needed?”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFAXtnr7HX
Lilith cracked her knuckles and smiled sweetly.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKapIw9OjL
“Well, now that we’re good…”
WHAM!!!
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmPq6eAHfQ
Her fist lit with a faint glow as she punched Eleo square in the face.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8Mr7XL1VC
BAM!!
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRlJGS01Be
He flew backward like a launched cannonball, slammed into a thick tree with a loud CRUNCH, and flopped to the ground in a heap of pain and dirt.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91PuSWStir
He groaned.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg7M5daT7h
“...Ow…”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZxCTjBIrk
Lilith crossed her arms and scowled, cheeks still faintly pink.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkVy4BNBJ6
“THAT’S for sucker-punching a Demon Princess, idiot.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkrx3M58JJ
She tossed her twin-tails back with a huff and looked away.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQWvWK0QaF
“…Dummy.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8BBBWYnBh
Eleo groaned as he peeled himself off the tree trunk, his fur messy and a leaf stuck to his forehead.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPvgE0bduo
He limped over to Lilith, rubbing his sore face.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS15XvXQU28
“…Yeah, okay. I deserved that.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV9q6Oxv5K
He stood up straight and gave her a big grin. “So uh… what did you need from me again?”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBvzwoV075
Lilith crossed her arms, her wings folding behind her as she huffed. “I need your help with a guy.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPdUowQOdr
Eleo tilted his head. “Ohhh. You want me to be his friend or something?”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUc4rh1OVi
Lilith blinked. “…What? NO. Why would I want that?!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWGm4GlpV3
She groaned and ran a hand down her face. “Ugh. Look. My father—Lord Infernius of the Third Hell—decided I should marry this absolute fat pig of a noble. Some demon noble brat. The guy’s older than my uncle, smells like rotting sulfur, and talks with food in his mouth.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxmstbGLgr
Eleo blinked. “…So… you don’t want to be his friend either?”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43hbeql7u4
Lilith clenched her fists. “NO. I’m supposed to marry him. He’s gonna ‘deflower’ me, we’ll have kids, get old, blah blah demonic political marriage nonsense.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaKxSZ6rQ1
She waved her hands around dramatically.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uhfjnbYDt
While she ranted, Eleo was standing there… eyes slowly closing.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu0NXKqYYQ
And then…
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9SKLqyRKM
Zzz…
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy50LfCHg4a
He started snoring while standing up.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpwJ69Yb2N
A faint snot bubble formed at the tip of his nose.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt2FXX3huo
SMACK!
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNHFvKz7yD
Lilith whacked him on the head.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0J8TXFQpS
“WAKE UP, YOU IDIOT!!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW16sUiXjIb
“BWAAH!!” Eleo jolted. “I’m awake! I’m awake! You said something about hating pigs?!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR7yFomb2F
Lilith stared at him, unamused. “Are you actually stupid?”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBlIQRC6po
Eleo scratched his head. “Mmm… I think so. Grampa did drop me a lot as a baby.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iQZjlwuIa
She blinked. “That… explains a lot.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ell9c8hFz
She sighed, then muttered, “Still… even if you’re dumb, at least you’re trying to help.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv1I6Z4UX5
Eleo puffed out his chest proudly. “Yeeep!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ5628SNBP
“So,” he continued, “where is this pig demon guy?”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9tJ9uNIwe
Lilith pointed. “He lives in a mansion. South from here. Big and disgusting, just like him.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3g9xMQSi7
Eleo nodded. “OHHHH. Cool. Alright, fly me over there.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZTYDO0GML
Lilith raised an eyebrow. “Excuse me?”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHOBtPWuBR
Eleo opened his arms dramatically. “You’ve got wings! You’re a demon! You can fly! C’mon, be my airline!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKN125XjMO
Lilith rolled her eyes—but she smirked.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcESq45rkQ
“Fine. Hopeless bunny…”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZzYpx3e6h
She stepped closer, wrapping her arms around his waist. Eleo flinched.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6HxnFUjKn
“Whoa—uh—what’s happening?”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk8TWBrdp9
“Just don’t squirm,” she muttered. “And don’t fall, or I’m not catching you.”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxjqv6I6k2
FWOOOSH.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVKMIrKrEq
Her wings flared wide and they lifted into the air.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFjrv3fAIf
Eleo gasped.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd7uIl42NT
“WHOA!!! I’M FLYING!!! I’M LIKE A
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztvJUrGH5p
BIRD!! I’M LIKE A FLUFFY, SCREAMING, AWESOME BIRD!! THIS IS SO COOL!!!”
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W3boYeKxn
Lilith chuckled under her breath, despite herself.
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebqAriqPbD
“Yeah, yeah… just try not to puke midair, feather-brain.”
