(But what trick is she up to? If this continues, the Millelith will be at the door. She must know this... yet I can't fathom what could make her so patient...)
"Uh... Perhaps there is, Host."
(Oh? You know?)
"Mhm, it's you yourself, Host."
(Eā)
Ying responded calmly, "What do you want?"
"What do I want? Hmm... Throw your weapons to big sister~"
"Understood..." Ying threw the whip and black sword she held at her feet with force.
"Let him go..."
"Unh-unh~ Isn't little darling not worried about them? Why are you suddenly asking me to let him go?"
"...Tell me, what else do you want..."
(The Millelith have reached the entrance of that secret passage... I wonder if I can make it in time...)
"This punch is for you~" The succubus walked slowly to Ying's side and punched her in the stomach. However, the force was just enough to make her feel a momentary sting, leaving Ying somewhat confused.
"What do you mean?"
"Hehehe~ I was angered by little darling's actions before. Actually, big sister truly couldn't bear to be ruthless with you. You can tell from the fact that I didn't kill you directly, right?"
"Hmph..." (I can indeed see that... but kidnapping children leaves me with no good feelings towards you.)
The succubus smiled at Ying, lightly poked her chest, and said to Ying, "Wasn't this punch from big sister less excessive than your stab?"
"Hmph... Don't you know in your heart why I cut you?"
