The Unexpected Revelation

Just as we were discussing the detailed deployment, through the crystal image, Kiori, my senior, said something to her attendant, Loynin, before standing up and heading towards a hidden, broken wall within the labyrinth.

“Princess, it seems the humans have split up. We only have one Eye of Surveillance here. Who should we watch now?” Seth inquired.

“Watch Senior Kiori,” I responded.

“Huh? Princess?”

“Oh! I mean, of course, we’ll monitor that genius high school Holy Knight!”

The Eye of Surveillance followed Kiori as she navigated through the ruined walls of the broken labyrinth. She stopped in a secluded corner, enclosed on three sides by high walls. Taking a deep breath, she straightened her back and reached behind her armor with both hands.

*Snap!* She unlatched the buckle on her back armor.

“Huh!?” My gaze, along with those of several overlords present, instantly grew solemn. Our enthusiastic discussion unconsciously ceased. Senior Kiori was unlatching her armor in a corner; surely she wasn’t about to…

Just then, Kiori suddenly looked up, her beautiful eyes gleaming with a sharp intensity as she stared directly at the Eye of Surveillance. This startled us all, as if we had been caught peeking!

Kiori extended a slender, jade-like finger towards the lens, and its tip flashed.

*Poof!* The screen instantly turned completely black.

“As expected… she knew we were watching.” The massive minotaur revealed a look of disappointment.

‘That lecherous ox…’ I glared at the minotaur with displeasure.

“Hmph,” Suriya sneered softly.

“Suriya, what are you laughing at?” The Skeleton King seemed somewhat reluctant, finding it hard to believe this old bag of bones was still so lecherous! I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine. ‘Are all my subordinates perverts?’

“There’s no need for disappointment, everyone. It’s impossible for a Holy Knight of such high caliber to not detect an Eye of Surveillance. However, my Blood Shadow Bats are different. I already sent my bats to that location earlier.”

Suriya watched everyone’s expressions with amusement, deliberately pausing before snapping her fingers with a *’Clap!’*

The crystal image reappeared! Moreover, it was even clearer and more realistic than before! Every sound was perfectly audible!

“Queen Suriya, truly the number one powerhouse of our dungeon!” The corpulent minion carrying me panted, speaking with a rough voice.

I hadn’t anticipated Suriya possessed such methods. In the image, Kiori, believing she had eliminated the magic eye and was now safe, adopted a completely unguarded posture, skillfully removing her armor…

I suddenly felt a pang of guilt. Was it right for us to secretly watch Senior Kiori undress?

Before I could waver, Senior Kiori, completely unalert, calmly unbuttoned her shirt, revealing skin as fair as jade. There was a straight, deep cleavage, and a tightly encased black bra.

After shedding her shirt, she revealed her rounded, fragrant shoulders and delicate, alluring arms. Next, Senior Kiori lifted her head, her cascading black hair tumbling down. Her hands, as if enchanted, reached behind her to fumble with the clasp of her bra strap.

“Stop!” I suddenly leaped from the minion’s shoulder, heedless of everything, and with incredible speed, snatched a scroll from Seth Nolenberg’s suit pocket, then pounced on the crystal ball.

All the male demons, except for the Dungeon Lord, had been on the verge of seeing the most exciting part. They now panted heavily, glaring at me with resentment!

I turned, hiding the crystal ball behind me. “This woman’s body will bewitch our minds! It will make us show her mercy in battle! Today’s meeting is adjourned. Seth will convey the detailed deployment to you.”

With that, I activated my Teleportation Ring. With a thought, I vanished with the crystal ball in my arms.

I could hear some intense shouts of complaint, growing fainter and fainter in the distance.

I had already arrived at my study, located in the deepest level of the underground palace.

I felt my face flush crimson. The crystal ball, wrapped in the scroll, emitted the gentle sound of flowing water, and vaguely, a beautiful, shapely silhouette could be seen gracefully bathing within it.

‘A magical shower, huh? Hmph, to have the audacity to strip and bathe in a place like this, aren’t you afraid of being seen?’ I thought, lifting a corner of the scroll with my finger, hesitating for a moment, then lowering it again.

Hmph, fine, go ahead and wash! Anyway, you don’t have many days left to relax like this! Senior Kiori, you have stepped, little by little, into my plan. Although I don’t wish to harm you, nor any human, after all, I am not truly a Dark Princess. But I also will not allow you to be so arrogant in my domain!

Just as I smugly turned to leave the study, a faint sob suddenly emanated from the crystal ball behind me.

It was a heart-wrenching cry I had never heard before. Could such a perfect, powerful senior, like a goddess, actually be crying in sorrow?

I turned around, gazing at the figure within the crystal ball. She seemed to reveal a helplessness never before seen in front of others.

Just then, a gust of wind blew into the window from the underground city’s tunnels, lifting the scroll that covered the ball.

Senior Kiori’s wet, beautiful form was unexpectedly revealed before my eyes.

Senior Kiori, completely unaware she was being watched, seemed to tremble slightly as she clutched a pendant hanging around her neck.

Two streaks of tears adorned her pretty face, which was covered in glistening water droplets.

“Yukino, Yukino… *sniffle*, big sister… will definitely rescue you! No matter how deep or dangerous the demon realm you are in! Yukino… wait for me…”

Yukino? Senior Kiori’s younger sister? Wait, I’ve heard that name somewhere before! Could it be—Yuhara Yukino? The main character of that major incident several months ago at the academy I attended? But she wasn’t Senior Kiori’s sister; she was in my grade, even in the same class in middle school. At most, she’d be a junior student, wouldn’t she?

At this moment, my gaze once again fell upon Senior Kiori’s chest. Of course, I absolutely wasn’t taking advantage of the situation to look at her breasts, though seeing them in such circumstances was unavoidable. But I truly wasn’t in the mood.

Because Senior Kiori was very sad at this moment.

She opened the pendant, gazing at it with deep affection and sorrow. Although I couldn’t see the secret inside the pendant from my angle, I could guess what it was.

Senior Kiori’s moist, rosy lips parted and closed, uttering a few words:

“Yukino, I love you.”

With that, Senior Kiori leaned down and passionately kissed the pendant, crystal tears scattering amidst her hair.

“Senior Kiori…” I stared blankly at the sorrowful figure in the misty water. Senior Kiori, she… she actually said ‘I love you’ to another girl’s name. And she kissed that girl’s image? What… what exactly is going on?

Heavenly Glow Kiori, aren’t you the purest spokesperson for God, a devout ascetic?

If I didn’t mishear, or if the Blood Shadow Bat magic wasn’t malfunctioning, then… Heavenly Glow Kiori, do you not only possess desire, but such deep affection, and moreover, such forbidden desire between two girls, absolutely defying God’s will!?

Senior Kiori! Tell me, this isn’t true!

“Mm, ah—!!!” My head suddenly began to ache with a tearing pain again. Everything went black, and I fainted.
