Negai o Kanaete Moraou to Akuma o Shōkan Shitakedo, Kawaikattanode Kekkonshimashita ~ Akuma no Nīdzuma - CH 105

Helvi was in the bathtub for about ten minutes at this point.

Her baths with Theo usually lasted longer, but this time he was waiting in the bedroom.

She wanted to get out right away… But stayed for another five minutes, being very nervous about her new underwear.

(Kuh… I’ve been here for too long already!)

She made up her mind, and got up.

Theo would usually dry her hair, but that night she did it in a second using magic.

She then examined closely the several pieces of underwear she bought.

(T-this is basically nothing but a string…! And this one! Why does it seem to purposefully show what it should be hiding!?)

She was not ready for such aggressive underwear.

Helvi wanted to start with something safe… That would still make Theo happy. Something beautiful and alluring…

Five minutes later, she finally decided what to wear on top and at the bottom.

Both were black, which contrasted nicely against her pure white hair and skin.

There were also her jet black horns and wings. She was not sure if she should let them out, but decided to do so.

Theo told her before he liked these devil-like features of hers, and they matched well with her underwear.

Since it was made to be seductive, this underwear differed from regular pieces in one aspect. It was slightly transparent.

It hid the precious parts both on top and at the bottom, but still made it seem like one could just barely see them. This was the true worth of this kind of underwear.

For Helvi, this was quite aggressive.

(It is more reserved than the string or the one that basically showed everything, but it is still quite embarrassing…!)

Why was she more embarrassed to be wearing underwear that hid her private parts than when she was naked?

Helvi had no idea, and could do nothing about it.

(A-alright! Here I go…!)

Over fifteen minutes had passed since Helvi entered the bath, and she did not want to keep Theo waiting for long.

She was embarrassed, but also quite curious about how he would react.

She slowly opened the door and headed towards the sofa where Theo should be waiting, while walking much slower and quietly than usual.

When she saw his face from behind the sofa, it made her heart beat so fast it seemed to almost jump out of her chest.

“…T-Theo, thank you for waiting.”

She said while hiding both portions of her underwear with her hands and arms,

Helvi waited for Theo to turn around, while feeling as though her devil heart really was about to pop out.

…However, while Theo would usually turn around right away when she called, there was no response no matter how much she waited.

Helvi thought it was strange, but as her head cooled off, she realized what happened.

“…Theo, are you sleeping?”

There was no more need to hide, so she walked normally and stood in front of him.

Theo’s eyes were closed, and he did indeed set off on a journey to dreamland.

“Ahh, I see… Well I did know you were tired…”

As she thought back, she realized he did seem very sleepy after dinner.

Helvi was so preoccupied with something else that she failed to notice it.

When Theo finished his bath, he was already almost asleep.

Helvi thought she was at fault for not noticing, and only remembering it now. If she did notice, she would not have worried so much about her underwear.

She sighed, perhaps because she regretted that Theo did not see her in her new underwear, or perhaps because she was relieved. Even Helvi herself did not know which was right.

“…Fufu, you look cute while you sleep.”

Theo’s back was leaning back on the sofa, and his head was facing up.

He was still fourteen years old, and the youthfulness that still remained on his sleeping face was cute.

“You’re going to catch a cold if you sleep here.”

She said to the sleeping Theo, before putting one arm around his back, another under his knees, and picking him up.

It was the position usually called ‘princess carry’.

Normally the roles would be reversed, but no one who knew them would find this odd.

Helvi carried him to the bed and gently put him down before lying next to him.

She then hugged his head, and pulled it closer to her chest.

“Fufu, as punishment for falling asleep, you will be my hugging pillow.”

She wrapped her legs around Theo’s body and hugged him tightly.

They were very close, which felt warm and comfortable.

“…Good night Theo.”
