Chapter 40: The Loli’s Absolute Territory

Hearing that familiar inner voice...

Nanako’s eyes widened instantly. Swish. Swish. She looked left and right like a radar.

It's the Dog Disciple's voice! Where?! Where is he?! Where is that detestable guy hiding?!

Then, her gaze locked onto a temporary medical station set up nearby.

She saw Lynn lying on a stretcher. One leg was wrapped in a plaster cast. He looked frail and weak, extending his hand to let a busty Priestess bandage him.

His face was haggard. His eyes were dim. (Oscars-worthy acting).

"It's nothing. Just some scratches. A bit of ointment and a few days of rest, and I'll be fine."

The Priestess comforted him gently. Lynn whispered weakly, "Thank you, kind Sister. Your heart is as beautiful as your face."

The Priestess blushed. Being praised by such a handsome young man made her heart race. She covered her red cheeks. "Saving the wounded is our duty... Although the demons retreated, many were injured. We just want to do our part..."

"Thank you, beloved Sister... Hiss——"

"What's wrong? Does it hurt somewhere else?"

"My collarbone hurts. I think it might be fractured."

"It's okay. It's just a scrape. Do you want me to blow on it to make the pain go away?"

"Yes, please!"

Then, under Nanako’s glaring eyes... The busty Priestess leaned in, blushing, and gently blew air onto the scrape on his collarbone. Fuu Fuu

"Eek!" Nanako’s eyes almost popped out.

Then she heard Lynn’s thoughts.

[ Inner Voice ] [ Indeed. Wherever there is a Priestess Onee-san, all wounds can be healed! (￣▽￣)／ ]

[ Inner Voice ] [ As the Savior of Moon Orchid City, enjoying some tender care isn't too much to ask, right? ]

[ Inner Voice ] [ Even though I faked the injury myself. Hehehe— ]

[ Inner Voice ] [ Of course, if the Loli Master blew on it, that would be even better! →_→ ]

[ Inner Voice ] [ Hmm... I need to think of an excuse... to make the Blue-Haired Loli do it voluntarily... ]

Nanako: 凸(艹皿艹)!

Sure enough! My guess was spot on! Every time I look away for one second, he finds an excuse to flirt with Priestesses!

This is infuriating! If you wanted Master to blow on it, couldn't you just wait for me obediently?! It's not like I'm an unreasonable person!

Detestable!

Steam whistled out of Nanako’s ears. She puffed out her cheeks like a chipmunk, glared with her sapphire eyes, and marched over aggressively.

Poke. She poked the blushing Priestess.

Priestess: ⊙_⊙ ???

Nanako: (Fist) o(▼皿▼メ;)o (Intimidation Mode: ON) (Projecting images of a painful death)

Priestess: o((⊙﹏⊙))o

Nanako pointed a small finger toward the horizon. (▼ヘ▼#) Steam shot out of her nose.

Priestess: (；≧д≦)! (Nods frantically) (Runs away at Mach speed)

"..."

"..."

Watching the Priestess flee for her life, Nanako felt triumphant. She crossed her arms and stood over the stretcher, looking down arrogantly at her Dog Disciple, who had his eyes closed in enjoyment.

"Hmph!" Nanako let out a cute, arrogant snort.

Lynn froze.

[ Inner Voice ] [ This familiar sound... ]

[ Inner Voice ] [ And this scent of Vintage Loli... ]

Lying on the stretcher, Lynn paused. He tilted his head back slightly and opened his eyes, looking upward.

"..."

"..."

Instantly. The figure of a certain tsundere Loli looking down at him filled his vision.

As everyone knows, a standard Loli Mage Robe is adorned with lace hems. It flares out slightly at the knees, creating a Vacuum Zone of roughly 10 to 15 centimeters between the legs and the skirt.

If one applies rigorous mathematical formulas and geometric logic... Given Lynn’s supine position and the angle of Nanako standing directly above him...

When he looked up... There was at least an 85% probability...

That he would see the Absolute Territory (Zettai Ryouiki) that a young girl should never reveal!

"..."

"..."

Lynn stared blankly for two seconds. Then, without blushing or skipping a beat, he smiled and waved his hand.

"Master! You... You're finally back! Disciple missed you so much!"

But he didn't get up. He kept his head tilted back.

[ Inner Voice ] [ Pink. Pink. Pink. Pink. ]

Countless bullet comments flashed through his mind.

Nanako blinked. She was confused by the sudden repetition in his thoughts.

Pink? What pink?

She expected him to panic or have complex thoughts after being caught cheating on his Master (with a Priestess). Why was he just repeating that one word?

She didn't get it. She scratched the back of her head. Then, putting on her tsundere face, she decided to test him.

"Oh? You missed me? What happened to your leg? Aren't you going to explain?"

Lynn lay on the stretcher, eyes slightly red (from holding back laughter/tears). "It's nothing serious. Just some superficial wounds from the demon invasion. Compared to those who really need help, I am nothing."

[ Inner Voice ] [ Pink. Pink. Pink. Pink. ]

Nanako: "???"

Eh? Something is wrong! The script isn't supposed to go like this! Usually, when he says something hypocritical like that, his inner voice should be roasting me or complaining!

What pink? Where is the pink? The Dog Disciple's attention doesn't seem to be on the conversation at all!

[ Inner Voice ] [ Pink. Pink. Pink. Pink. ]

Nanako: "???"

She widened her eyes and looked around quickly. Then she saw some cherry blossom petals drifting in the wind.

Startle. Is he talking about the cherry blossoms? But what's so special about them?

Nanako looked up, staring intently at the falling petals, trying to find the profound meaning.

Stare—— Stare——

Hmm... A petal landed on her nose.

Achoo! Nanako rubbed her nose, completely bewildered.

So what is going on?! These flowers aren't that special... What is this "Pink" thing he keeps chanting in his head?!

She looked down at him suspiciously, trying to read his expression.

And just as she was about to probe further... Suddenly. Her eyes widened. She realized something.

Wait... Wait a minute!!

Pink... Could it be...

He is referring to...
