Not only were the heroes startled, but the other demons also turned around, their faces clearly saying, "What's wrong with you?"
He glanced at it, then turned back to continue eating, as if nothing had happened.
“I didn’t sleep…” Lycorina sat down again, returning to her previous listless state, her eyes half-open and vacant.
Xingu and John were completely bewildered;
"What are you doing?"
"Don't worry."
Franti opened her mouth wide: "W-what...what's going on?!"
Blazer: "...Huh?"
Dude, are you really going to go that far?!
He had heard of men who found pleasure in torturing women, and women who found pleasure in being tortured, but he never expected...
These two actually have this kind of relationship?!
Suddenly, images began to flash through his mind of the Sword Hero whipping the Saintess with a whip made from a slime sword.
Who would have thought that the seemingly emotionless swordsman and the elegant and dignified saintess would secretly share such a hobby?!
Milu was also taken aback.
This is……
This is "sleep deprivation," a common technique used in torture!
If you don't sleep for a day, you will feel noticeably lethargic; if you don't sleep for three days, you will feel like you are dying; if you don't sleep for a week, you may even experience hallucinations and become dull-witted.
Just because I accidentally fell asleep for a few tens of minutes while on night watch, does that warrant such torture?!
The path of a hero is truly cruel...
Ignoring the others' questions, Annie continued speaking next to Lycorina, "Remind yourself to stay alert."
“Mmm…mmm…” Lycorina responded softly.
Franti couldn't help but say, "Her Highness looks like she's about to die! Don't disturb her!"
Lycorina: "Mmm...mmm..."
An Yi shook her head: "This was her own request."
Lycorina: "Mmm...mmm..."
Franti was taken aback: "Huh? Why?"
Lycorina: "Mmm...mmm..."
In her memory, although An Yi was always like a block of wood, he was still nice to Lycorina.
If An Yi is like a wooden dove, then Lycorina is like a sparrow perched on a branch, chirping away.
No matter how noisy the sparrows are, the wood will always quietly give her a place to rest.
They don't respond often, but they don't find it annoying either.
Although she didn't understand An'i's current behavior, she also didn't believe that An'i would torture Lycorina for no reason.
She said she would fall asleep while keeping watch.
If she falls asleep during her night watch, it's considered dereliction of duty.
She blamed herself for it and asked me to train her and help her stay clear-headed," An Yi said calmly.
After saying that, the heroes all stopped what they were doing and looked at Lycorina, who was lying half-dead on the table, only able to respond with "hmm...hmm..."
I am filled with utmost respect!
In order to stay awake during the night watch and to protect everyone's safety, Her Highness was actually willing to endure such torment!
Blazer stood up and slapped himself hard across the face, the slap making his hood bounce.
All the heroes: "???"
What are you doing now?!
Are you about to fall asleep? So you're going to slap yourself awake, huh?
Blazer bowed deeply to An and Lycorina, then sat down in silence.
sorry……
sorry! !
It was despicable of me to look at you two with those eyes!
The Sword Hero is still that earnest and serious Sword Hero.
Your Highness, you are still that great and noble Your Highness!
Franti turned her gaze away from the suddenly deranged captain and looked at An Yi: "So... we're just going to keep the Holy Maiden from sleeping like this?"
“No, wait until we go to the auction house. You all stay here to protect her and help her rest for a while,” Annie said.
Franti: "Phew... I thought I wouldn't be able to do it for several days..."
An Yi: "Let her sleep for half an hour and then go back to completing your mission."
Franti: "Half an hour is far too short!!"
Annie: "That's enough."
Just before Franti could continue speaking, a private message appeared in front of her.
[Private] The Shield Hero: It's alright, just secretly let Her Highness sleep a little longer.
This was proposed by Her Highness the Holy Maiden herself. If Brother An Yi were to indulge her, Her Highness the Holy Maiden would say that he wasn't strict enough.
Everyone else can indulge Her Highness the Saintess, but not young man An Yi, because he made a promise about it.
Franti was taken aback at first, then her gaze towards Anyi changed slightly, and finally she nodded in resignation: "...Okay."
Yes, this is a promise between the two of them.
Surely the Sword Hero wouldn't want to torture his comrades who he spends every day with like this, would he?
It's their business whether others indulge Her Highness the Holy Maiden; once he made a promise, he cannot break it at will.
Let other brave people handle the task of "being a good person".
Annie pinched Lycorina's face again.
"Waaah..." Lycorina's reaction was already minimal.
Ren Anyi pinched her own face, wincing in pain but closing her eyes.
Annie: "It's beyond saving, it's already broken."
Franti: "..."
I suspect you're enjoying it a little?
Meanwhile, Milu was still immersed in the emotions she had just experienced.
Her Highness...she is so great!

After a long journey, Mel, with a minimum number of members, arrived at the small city where the "Sword Master" had appeared.
This is indeed a very remote city, but she noticed something along the way.
This small city faces directly across the human territory of the [Empire of Hope].
However, according to human intelligence, the Empire of Hope is the only country that has not sent any heroes to the demon territory.
Brave warriors infiltrated the demon realm across almost the entire border of human territory, and within weeks brought back a wealth of information about the demons.
Only the heroes of the Hope Empire continued their tours throughout the country, spreading the word that they were about to "attack the demons."
Furthermore, the Hope Empire has broken ties with the Hero Alliance, and there should be no heroes from the Hero Alliance operating on the Hope Empire's borders now.
Knowing these conditions, the Sword Master actually appeared in that small city directly opposite the Hope Empire.
Mel was rather confused about the situation.
In other words, the Saintess Squad among humans secretly infiltrated the Demon Realm from the Hope Empire's borders without the Empire's knowledge.
Thinking about this, Mel could understand it.
The Empire is positioned directly opposite the Demon Race's central line, and even small cities there are developing better than other border areas.
Perhaps we can obtain more intelligence and resources here?
In a secluded building in the city, Mel sat behind a table, watching the little succubus nervously clutching the hem of her clothes.
"Your name is... Becky, right?"
"Wu, is it you who reported that you had seen our lord?"
"Yes, yes, yes, Mother!"
Becky looked at her "mother" who was less than two meters away from her with trepidation.
She never imagined that she would meet two top-level figures in less than a month.
For the other succubi in the organization, this is definitely an unparalleled glory that they can boast about for a lifetime!
"Tell me again what exactly happened."
“Tell me right here, face to face.” Mel looked at the little succubus before him, her tone serious.
"Okay, okay!!" Becky agreed excitedly.
She immediately recalled the lines she had prepared countless times; she knew this day would come eventually.
From the day she reported meeting the "Sword Master," she had already considered that an important figure might come looking for her.
Her version of events only needs to match the content of the reported letter.
"It all started when I met the Sword Master... well, that person told us not to call him Sword Master."
"I will not change this name until I find him."
