Chapter 247: Evolved Wyvern - Lixus
Chapter 247: Evolved Wyvern - Lixus
Although the monster could only be, at worst, a Rank A danger normally, it somehow became a regional threat, which shouldn't have been possible.
'The mountains are covered in snow, even during this period?' Asmodeus thought to himself that the temperature was extremely cold as he stepped towards the wooden cabin he would be sharing with Velvet tonight.
'Tomorrow the hunt will begin, but I hope nothing troublesome happens.'
Velvet, however, was still embarrassed about earlier and sat in the cabin while preparing herself for rest.
She removed her armour and underclothes, replacing them with a thick woollen dress that wrapped around her neck with fur to keep her body warm. "If I didn't listen to that fool, wouldn't I be freezing right now?" Velvet leaned back while sitting on the bed, about to change her underwear and thermal stockings.
'It's quite warm, this soft fur is nice...' Velvet thought to herself while removing her black panties. However, as she lowered them to the ground, the door opened, and someone stepped inside.
"Eh?!"
"Ah!"

Once again, the man who kept making her feel irritated and strange, Asmodeus, stood with the door closing behind him, gazing at her with a perverted glint in his eyes.
'This bastard?! Why did he enter without knocking!'
"Ahem... well, I didn't realise you were changing." His voice seemed strange to Velvet as she froze her hands, holding a fresh pair of dark purple silk panties with her most valuable garden on display to this rogue.
"Then why haven't you turned away?!"
"Because it looks good."
"Idiot! I'll cut it off in your sleep!"
Asmodeus finally removed his gaze and held his crotch while turning away. He didn't do it on purpose, but she knew more about demons than in the past.
'Once they start to desire something, then they will keep pushing until they get it.' Her mind remembered his words while gritting her teeth as the sound of silk sliding across her silky thighs filled the silent room, only the wind tapping on the windows.
"Forget what you saw!" Her voice was short, snappy and deep.
"Impossible!"
"Tsk, damn erotic demon!"
"Ahaha...."
Velvet seemed to be quite angry towards Asmodeus, but there wasn't anywhere else he could sleep, as the other hut shared by the villagers was for the knights.
He turned back to see Velvet already sitting beside the unlit fire. Her legs crossed as she looked away from him with a pout. "Turn the fire on, it's cold." She barked as if it were an order.
"Yeah yeah~ whatever you ask, princess."
With the snap of his finger, Asmodeus lit the fire and several candles in the room before he removed his cold, wet armour from the snow. The sound of a heavy leather tunic dropping to the ground echoed as Velvet turned to look out of curiosity.
'Eh?! Why is his chest exposed... what are those muscles.... so thick and perfect.'
"You called me an erotic demon... Can you stop panting while looking at my perfect body?" Asmodeus showed a wicked grin while lowering his pants, on purpose removing his boxers for the new clothes that he took from his inventory.
However, the poor maiden Velvet froze as if she jumped into an icy lake upon seeing his completely naked form with a bright red hue covering her cheeks and ears.
"Y-Y-You rude man?! W-Why are you N-Naked!" Velvet's deep, sensual voice became higher and more lovely as she sounded like she was squealing. The cute voice caused Asmodeus to peek back at her while slowly wearing his black boxers with a woollen outer layer.
"I'm changing my clothes—thanks to that sudden snowstorm, my body is cold, and my other clothes are wet with cold, melting snow. Why are you fixated on my body, Velvet?"
"Idiot! I am not!"
"Hmm, I can't hear you~ let's go to bed after a quick meal."
Asmodeus wore a pair of thick cotton shorts given by the villagers. With these, he felt much warmer than before and could finally rest properly.
In a tight black shirt, soft and gentle on the skin, he walked towards the fire and began preparing dinner, a simple stew with various herbs and vegetables to help fight off cold weather and sickness.
Velvet sat on the chair, watching as he cooked the stew, unable to think of anything to say or do as her eyes couldn't resist watching him.
The smooth, dark black hair, his perfect, muscular body visible from the tight clothes, and the way his body moved with no wasted or extra movements made her feel like she couldn't look away. 'Again he flashed that weapon at me... that thing could kill someone if hard.'
"Do you want any extra bread?" Asmodeus seemed to have moved on from the initial desire and instead became relaxed. Although he saw her bare crotch, it wasn't something he needed to obsess over. He always knew she was a beautiful woman, and now they needed a good meal before sleeping.
"Yes, please." Velvet quickly nodded like an obedient puppy as she continued watching him and as she looked. He took out a small loaf of bread from his storage, but it seemed to be still piping hot before cutting it with a knife.
'How is it hot? Storage magic can preserve food for long periods, but how is it so hot? Is this just some sort of ability?'
Asmodeus served up two bowls of stew along with warm bread. The delicious aroma wafted through the room as Velvet quickly sat down at the table and began eating the delicious stew.
"How is it?"
"Good, you are an unexpectedly excellent cook."
"Haha, well, I do try. Please, there's more, so enjoy it."
"I will... Hmph..."
She wanted to complain, but the taste was her favourite—the moment it touched her tongue, an explosion of sweet cream from the stew mixed with the various herbs and vegetables began to spread through her mouth.
'If we were commoners... living in a small village, married... would it feel like this?' Her thoughts went wild as she imagined the pair of them living together. Sometimes, she cooked for Asmodeus, and he would cook other times... then her mind went to the bedroom as a pair of silhouettes came together, but her mind quickly snapped back.
'Why am I thinking of that?!'
The pair engaged in a brief conversation, small talk, yet Velvet found herself sneaking glances at Asmodeus the more time they spent together. 'What kind of person is the real you, the demon who laughed while covered in blood? Or this gentle, and affectionate man?'
However, she couldn't ask those questions aloud. Instead, she enjoyed the meal in near silence. Velvet devoured the stew and bread. Nothing like a noble lady. After she finished, her head felt heavy, and her body felt a little exhausted as she was now warm and comfortable.
"I'm going to sleep..." Her tired voice echoed in the flicker of embers from the fireplace. "Where will you sleep?" Velvet asked while climbing into the bed, yet she noticed Asmodeus get into the other side, causing her mind to become confused and blank.
"What are you doing?"
"Sleeping in the bed with you, of course."
"Eh?!"
Velvet seemed in shock at what she just heard. 'He's going to sleep with me... no way! What if he does something!'
"W-what are you doing! We can't share the bed together!" Her voice became louder, and the redness on her face returned as she glared at him.
"What? Why? There's not enough room for another bed in here. Don't worry I won't fuck you without permission."
"Hah?! Who would permit you?! Idiot!"
"Fine, fine... don't be so loud. If you get cold, then come closer to my warmth." Asmodeus seemed to enjoy teasing this adorable maiden as she turned away with a bright red face.
'Is she really worried about something like that? Ah, Velvet you've become so cute, don't make me more curious, otherwise I will eat you even if you don't want me to.'
"D-Don't touch me...!"
"Yeah yeah~ good night."
After the short argument, Velvet fell asleep quickly as the exhaustion hit her. Her soft breathing and gentle heartbeat filled the silent room with the quiet crackle of firewood.
Asmodeus quietly watched her sleeping face, his lips curling into a smile, as his eyes began to grow heavier like fairies were quietly shovelling sand into them.
'Velvet, you've grown so much since we first met.'
"I love you, Velvet... Good night."
'!!!' Velvet's body trembled before finally falling asleep.
"Mmm... last night I dreamt about that fluffy and delicious bread...." Velvet murmured while rubbing her eyes, the sore sensation fading the more she made them squeak.
The sun shone outside, showing it was now morning—a beautiful woman with dark purple hair was lying in the arms of a handsome male with long black hair. The woman buried her face in the man's neck, with countless bite marks on his shoulder.
She slowly woke up. Her beautiful purple eyes, the colour of exquisite velvets, stared at the face of a sleeping Asmodeus, who had his arm wrapped around her back as they cuddled together.
"Ah?! What's happening."
Her memories rushed back, and the events of last night flashed through her mind.
'He said that he loved me!'
Velvet quickly glanced at the marks she left on him as she dreamt last night, and his soft breathing told her he was still sleeping.
'What do I do... his shoulder is covered in my drool and teeth marks?!'
"Just five minutes longer..." Velvet whispered as she closed her eyes. The warmth of the sun on her bare skin and the warmth of Asmodeus on her body made her feel as if she were in heaven. 'It's okay, this is just an accident, right? Let's just wait for him to wake up and apologise.'
While she was thinking to herself, Velvet noticed Asmodeus' face move towards hers. His lips were moving closer to her soft, pink lips, but she didn't react and instead froze like a statue.
The moment their lips connected, Velvet felt like her head was burning, and then the entire world began to shake.
—No, it wasn't an earth-shaking kiss, but the Roar of a wyvern filled the air, flames and ice began to spread as Asmodeus suddenly awoke and jumped out of bed, breaking their warm embrace.
"Prepare for battle, Velvet... that bastard seems to have come to hunt us instead!"
"Eh?"
"It's Lixus! Come, let's slay the fake dragon!"
