The Hero Who Became a Monster Girl Will Never Fall to Evil

Too strange.

She had only spoken with this little girl earlier that morning, and by evening she was already impatiently moving into her house.

Vieya narrowed her eyes, first sweeping a glance at the three maids in the corner playing cards, then letting her gaze fall onto her daughter and the pink-haired little girl who were quarreling.

The same thing happened again.

The moment Rorina saw the figure at the doorway, she shut her mouth at once, her eyes darting in panic.

“Eh... Mom’s back!” Jasmine’s eyes lit up. She immediately stopped paying attention to her classmate and scampered toward the door with quick, eager steps.

“Mom!”

Vieya stroked her daughter’s hair, lifted her head toward the drooping Rorina, pretended she hadn’t heard anything, and said kindly,

“Since you’re here, find a place to sit for a bit. Oh right—have you girls eaten?”

“Mom, we were waiting for you!” Jasmine happily rubbed against the slime-girl.

Although the small-form Mom wasn’t as comfortable to hug as the big one, at least now their heights were close—hehe...

“Um, um... Benefactor-sis, is there anything I can help you with?” Rorina said anxiously. “Sweeping, wiping tables—anything is fine.”

Jasmine’s gaze sharpened. Good grief, this pink-hair—acting all obedient the moment she sees my mom!

“Mom, she’s my classmate, Rorina. The one we saw in the dungeon last time—Mom, you remember, right?” Jasmine asked carefully.

“We met again just today.”

Vieya gave the pink-hair a reassuring smile. “You’re a guest right now. Leave those chores to the three maids over there. After all, I can’t just keep them here freeloading!”

“Meow!”

The cat-girl snapped to attention, threw down her cards, grabbed a broom and shovel, and started working vigorously.

The other two Demon Kings exchanged a glance—one grabbed a rag to wipe the dining table, the other rushed into the kitchen, chopping loudly.

The entire leisurely household suddenly became lively.

“Ah... Spider-sis likes adding sugar to tomato scrambled eggs, sugar to bitter-melon stir-fry, sugar to bloody broth... No, I have to go check!”

Jasmine yelped, realizing something was about to go terribly wrong, and sprinted toward the kitchen. As she ran, she shouted back:

“Mom, just leave my classmate there, we’ll eat together when the dishes are ready... Spider-sis, make a bit more tonight! And add less sugar!”

Rorina glanced briefly at Jasmine’s disappearing figure, then instantly shrank back down, staring at her toes as her pink single ponytail swayed beside her face.

One moment ago she’d been a noisy, arrogant magpie—now she’d turned into a timid, shut-in quail. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

“Don’t worry, I keep my word.” Vieya lightly pressed Rorina down into an empty seat at the table and spoke softly, “Before everything is completely resolved, you can stay here and play as long as you want.”

“R-Really?” Rorina asked nervously.

Vieya nodded. “Really. After dinner, I’ll tell Jasmine about my new job... Mm, tonight you and Jasmine sleep in the same room. I have extra bedding, so don’t worry.”

“Ah, okay, thank you, Benefactor-sis,” Rorina answered obediently.

“It’s fine. But... can you change ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ the way you address me?” Vieya suggested wistfully. She was often troubled by how others addressed her.

“Okay.” Rorina thought for a moment, then asked, “Then should I just call you Sis?”

“That’s fine.”

Vieya sat in the empty seat beside her and poured herself a cup of hot water.

But Rorina hesitated. “But if I call you Sis, then in terms of seniority... wouldn’t that make me older than Captain Jasmine? Then Captain Jasmine will be unhappy.”

Vieya: “It’s fine, each of you calls me your own way. You call me Sis, Jasmine calls me Mom.”

“Then... okay.” Rorina took the cup of water Vieya handed her, then added, “After the situation with my family is resolved—after they’re all caught—uh, controlled... could you help me ask them about my mom and dad from back then?”

It seemed her vocabulary wasn’t too rich. Even squeezing her brain dry to organize her words, she still spoke haltingly.

Also—didn’t you proclaim yourself a “person without weaknesses”? Now you’re missing your weaknesses again?

Vieya thought this, but had no intention of exposing the pink little hedgehog’s flaws. She took a light sip of hot water and replied,

“That’s no problem. And when the time comes, you can ask them yourself. Of course, the premise is that all the bad people are dug up by the roots.”

“...” Rorina held the warm cup and fell silent, saying no more.

Before long, steaming dishes were served, and by the time everyone finished dinner, it was already nine-thirty.

During the meal, when she informed Jasmine that Rorina would sleep in her room tonight, Jasmine disagreed in every way—almost rolling on the floor crying and throwing a tantrum.

“I’m not sleeping in the same room as her! Not a whole night—not even a minute!”

“How about this, little Jasmine. If you behave tonight, I’ll tell you what my new job is. And I’ll also explain why I met with Rorina alone today.”

“...Can’t we trade for another condition, Mom...”

“Nope. If you want the truth, you need to be prepared. This is something you should’ve known long ago.”

“Fine... just for tonight!”

Jasmine’s eyes burned with determination.

Seeing her daughter take the bait, the mischievous Vieya smiled slightly. “Actually, I got a position at the Magic Academy. From now on, I’ll be your new Dean~”

A new Dean showed up at the Magic Academy, and Rorina had spent the entire day inside the Academy.

Rorina had encountered her mom alone, and the new Dean was an adorable white-haired loli.

All these clues tangled together in Jasmine’s mind, forming the truth. Suddenly she felt incredibly foolish.

“Really, I’m so stupid.”

Late at night, Jasmine lay alone in the cold bedding, staring at the moon outside the window with a sigh.

“That’s because you said you weren’t interested in the new Dean this morning. You’d rather copy the full Compendium of Sorcery than go take a look,” Rorina commented from the floorbed, delighting in her misfortune.

“How was I supposed to know she was my mom!” Jasmine sighed deeply again, her beautiful eyes full of conflict and regret. “Unexpected, yet perfectly reasonable. Mom earned such great merit in Talin, and the old Dean was thrown into prison.” freewebnovel.cσ๓

“Sigh... If I had known Mom was the new Dean, I wouldn’t have to sleep in the same room as you tonight. Mom...”

Rorina: ...

At the same time.

Next door.

After a long day of work, Vieya perked up excitedly. She took out a bit of liquid time and, facing the empty room, began fishing for a dragon.

“Heeey, Flaviel, dinnertime!”

After a long silence—

A voice finally echoed faintly behind the slime-girl. “Are you... sure you want to do this?”

“Mm-hm. Oh right, how much do you need to eat to keep your physical body for a whole night?” Vieya asked again, her voice brimming with the giddy triumph of a fisherman reeling in a big catch.

“What do you take me for?”

The golden-haired loli stood barefoot on the windowsill, arms crossed, golden eyes full of accusation. “A sex doll? Or a portable onahole?”

“No!” Vieya pursed her lips, looking at Flaviel. Her joyful voice suddenly softened. “I just... want to hold you again.”
