Chapter 11: Stupid Masters are the Easiest to Fool

"Disciple! Don't die on me! It's all Master's fault! I broke the console! Please don't die!"

Nanako wailed, her tears soaking his robe.

[ Inner Voice ][ Tsk tsk. As expected. The Stupid Master is so easy to scam. Smearing all that monster blood on my clothes was totally worth the effort! ]

[ Inner Voice ][ Her IQ really caps out at room temperature. Now, what compensation should I demand? In this guilt-ridden state, the Loli Master will agree to anything. ]

[ Inner Voice ][ Should I ask for a back massage? Or maybe two weeks of paid leave to AFK farm? ][ Or... hehe. Lynn, you dirty minded degenerate. Dare I ask to Push Her Down? ]

Nanako froze. Her sobbing stopped abruptly.

"..."

"..."

Lynn finally "struggled" to open his eyes. He reached out a trembling, blood-stained hand and grabbed Nanako’s sleeve. His lips were dry and cracked. He looked like a patient taking his final breath.

"Master... am I... am I still alive?"

His voice trembled with such fragility. It was filled with an unparalleled longing for life! A desperate plea for survival!

[ Inner Voice ][ Damn! That was perfect! My acting skills are invincible! ]

[ Inner Voice ][ Does your mother know how talented you are, Lynn?! ]

[ Inner Voice ][ Someone get me an agent! Hollywood is calling! (?＞︶＜)? ]

Nanako stared blankly at the "dying" disciple in her arms. She listened to the incredibly narcissistic monologue playing in her head.

So...This guy...Is completely fine!!

Nanako wanted to scream. If she couldn't hear his thoughts, she would have been 100% fooled by this Oscar-worthy performance!

If you were really dying, where would you get the energy for all this self-praise?!And you're already plotting how to extort me?!

Damn you!!

"Yes! You are alive!" Nanako gritted her teeth, resisting the urge to strangle him right then and there. "You are very much alive!"

Lynn weaky nestled his head deeper into Nanako’s soft chest (or lack thereof). He gripped her hand tighter, his expression melancholic.

"Is that so... Thank goodness... As long as I'm alive, I can stay by Master's side..." "Disciple really... doesn't want to leave you..."

The emotion in his voice was so raw, so sincere. Listeners would weep. Even Nanako, who knew the truth, felt her heart waver for a split second.

[ Inner Voice ][ Wow! I'm getting better at this! I can say such cheesy lines without even blushing! ]

[ Inner Voice ][ I am too strong! ]

[ Inner Voice ][ Even though she is a Centenarian Loli, she is still a Loli at heart. Hearing her disciple’s deep confession, she must be moved to tears, right? ]

[ Inner Voice ][ Hehehehe—My Affection Points must be skyrocketing right now! ]

Nanako: "???"

"..."

"..."

Why...Why did God give me the ability to hear his thoughts?!

Nanako pulled on her twin-tails in frustration.Can't you let me be moved for just one second?! Why do you always ruin the mood with your trashy inner thoughts?!

And stop calling me "Centenarian Loli"!!

Nanako’s eye twitched violently. She ground her teeth.

"Since you have the strength to talk so much, you must be fine. But Master is very curious... with so many high-ranking demons and beasts, how did you survive?"

Lynn lay in her arms, looking up at the sky with a vacant stare.

"Because... Disciple is too weak. They didn't even consider me a threat. Soon, they started fighting amongst themselves... I was just lucky enough to survive the chaos..."

[ Inner Voice ][ Of course not! ]

[ Inner Voice ][ The blood is fake. The wounds are self-inflicted. The "Battle Royale" was orchestrated by me. ]

[ Inner Voice ][ Not even a King-Rank beast was present. They wanted to hurt me? What a joke. None of them could even tank one hit. ]

[ Inner Voice ][ Of course, the Loli Master is too dumb to notice. Small body, small brain capacity~ ]

[ Inner Voice ][ Man, if Master could hear my thoughts right now, she would be so pissed. (～￣▽￣)～ Hahahaha burp! ]

Nanako: "???!"

Close eyes.Deep breath.Think happy thoughts.Ignore the disciple...

BUT...凸(艹皿艹)

I really want to hit him!This bastard!

Nanako turned her head away, forcing herself to calm down. She looked at the devastation in the arena.

Even she felt a lingering fear seeing so many high-level monsters. If she ignored his narcissism for a moment... Being able to subdue this many monsters so easily proved his strength.

If my theory is correct...My Dog Disciple might be stronger than all Seven Deacons combined!

But... the vein on her temple throbbed.With this trashy personality, it's impossible not to be angry!!

[ Cleanup Phase ]

Soon, the other mages subdued and caged the exhausted monsters. One mage walked over and saluted.

"Report, Deacon Nanako! All monsters have been secured." "We interrogated a few demons. It matches your disciple's story. They started fighting each other due to internal conflict and ignored him. Your disciple is incredibly lucky!"

[ Inner Voice ][ Heh. Obviously. My strength is absolute. Who dares to speak up? ]

[ Inner Voice ][ Just to be safe, I cast a [Mass Silence] spell on them. They physically can't spill the beans even if they wanted to! ]

Nanako looked down at the "weak" disciple coughing in her arms, then listened to his arrogant inner voice. She clenched her fist until her knuckles turned white. "Understood! Dismissed!"

The mage looked at Lynn with sympathy. He whispered: "Lady Nanako, your disciple is heavily injured. Should we send him to the Chapel? A very talented Priestess just arrived recently. If she treats him, he should recover quickly!"

Lynn’s eyes lit up instantly.Healer Waifu!

But sensing Nanako’s gaze, he immediately reverted to his "dying" state. He sighed weakly. "That... would be wonderful... I need to recover quickly... so I can learn more from Master... I want to become a powerful mage like Master... I must work harder..."

The mage teared up. "Lady Nanako! To have such a diligent disciple... it's truly a blessing!"

The surrounding mages nodded in agreement.

Nanako felt like she was going to faint from anger.Knowing the truth is torture!

She took a deep breath, forcing a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

"Yes. It is truly a blessing."

"Since he is so eager to learn... once he recovers, I'm sure he would be happy to train for 23 hours a day. Leaving one hour for sleep and meals should be enough, right?"

Lynn’s face froze.
