Then—she got a big shock!
"Ah! How did you...cough!"
She almost shot up from the lounge chair like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. The movement was too abrupt, she didn't breathe evenly, and she choked on her own saliva, making her face turn red with embarrassment and bringing tears to her eyes.
Cough, cough!
The Legendary Demon was coughing violently while clutching her chest and glaring at Herbert with watery eyes, as if he'd committed an unpardonable crime.
Grinding her silver teeth, she spat out angrily:
"What are you doing?!"
Herbert blinked, quite surprised and asked:
"Hey? Is it okay?"
?
Kreti snapped back to reality, eyes wide open, looking at him in disbelief.
"Huh???"
What the heck are you talking about?
Do you remember that you're a Paladin!!?
"Tch, can't be bothered with you!"
To cover up the turmoil inside, Kreti quickly turned her head, giving him the back of her head coupled with a big eye roll.
