My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 145 The scene gradually became tense.
Originally, in order to prevent assassinations such as shooting arrows through the window, Roland also placed a smoke bomb mixed with anti-magic stone powder outside the window.

It can both obstruct the view and interfere with the assassin's spellcasting.

The small explosive device inside could not only break windows and allow smoke to enter the room to conceal Roland's figure, but also serve as an alarm.

Although it would also interfere with Roland's own spellcasting, Roland still adopted this design because the World Tree's protection would not be affected by the anti-magic stone powder.

To everyone's surprise, Roland completely forgot to remove the anti-intrusion device that was installed outside the window!

Of course, this is not the key point.

The problem is that not only was it forgotten to be dismantled, but it also exploded at this crucial moment!
As the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground came from outside the window, Iluvia's cough also rang in Roland's ears.

"Cough cough cough..."

Iluvia, coughing while covering her mouth, crawled out from under the covers.

Both the smoke and the powder in it made Her Highness's throat very uncomfortable.

"Roland, what happened?"

“It’s obvious that the anti-assassin trap at the window has been triggered…” Roland explained somewhat speechlessly, then looked at Iluvia and said, “Go take a shower first, I’ll go see what accidentally triggered the trap.”

"Um……"

Even under the cover of night, Roland could see Iluvia's face, which was as red as a tomato.

This guy was clearly still wearing a large bathrobe...

As a result, she was so shy that it seemed like she wasn't wearing anything at all.

In this respect... the adjective "outwardly strong but inwardly weak" is quite fitting for Ilúvia.

Thinking this, Roland put on his coat and walked out of the room covered in anti-magic stone powder and smoke.

"It really is you... What are you doing here so late at night instead of sleeping?"

Looking at Kalia lying sprawled on the lawn outside, Roland felt somewhat helpless.

He walked over to Kalia and squatted down, poking her as her face was covered in powder particles from the smoke bomb.

"Why did you put explosives in the window?"

Seeing the somewhat resentful look in Kalia's eyes, Roland sighed: "You chose to use the window instead of the main entrance. It's clearly your fault, isn't it?"

"Hmm... Even if I had a problem, who would throw a smoke bomb out of their own window! Especially a smoke bomb mixed with anti-magic stone powder!"

As she spoke, Kalia spat twice, expelling some anti-magic stone powder that she had accidentally inhaled.

These things are making her very uncomfortable, and her magic is not flowing smoothly!

Kalia stood up from the grass, puffing out her cheeks, and said to Roland, "Can I use the bathroom?"

Roland: "..."

"Does it have to be now?"

Roland quickly blocked Kalia, who was about to enter through the main gate.

"What? You've made me like this, and you won't even let me use the bathroom?"

Kalia was a little unhappy, well, very unhappy: "I almost fell to the ground before I could even cast a spell! Do you know how dangerous that was!"

"If you know it's dangerous, then just use the main entrance!" Roland complained, then took out a handkerchief from his coat pocket and started wiping the powder off Kalia's face.

"Hmm...you're acting a little strange today."

As Kalia stood obediently in place while Roland wiped her face, she muttered to herself.

“Strange, what’s strange about it?”

Although he felt a little guilty, Roland hid it very well, showing no sign of anything unusual.

"Well, under normal circumstances, you only have two choices."

"They either give me a helpless look with a 'I really can't do anything with you' and ask me to use the bathroom, or they kick me out with a dark face."

"Hey... In your eyes, am I the kind of person who would make the latter choice?"

Roland stopped what he was doing after hearing Kalia's speech.

Did he never expect to be such a heartless person in Kalia's eyes?

Kalia poked Roland's cheek in annoyance: "You were like this when we first met, weren't you!"

"I'm just keeping all possible options open."

"Okay, okay, a handkerchief won't get it clean. Can't I even use the bathroom to wash my face? If not, the kitchen tap will do. I'll leave as soon as I'm done."

After saying that, Kalia bypassed Roland and flashed into the house, then rushed into the bathroom at top speed.

Apart from the still-steaming environment and Roland's unwashed clothes in the bathroom's underwear basket, there was nothing else here.

At this point, Roland, who could be considered to have arrived late, finally got to the scene.

"Hmm...you just took a shower?"

"Yes!" Roland nodded vigorously. "Didn't you trigger the alarm as soon as you dried your hair?"

“But your hair is covered in powder…it doesn’t look like you’ve washed it at all.”

"I just adjusted the hot water to the right temperature, and before I even had a chance to take a shower, you triggered the trap."

"Didn't you just say you had just dried your hair?"

Kalia looked at Roland suspiciously: "You're really starting to act strangely."

After staring at Roland for a while, Kalia sighed, "Fine, fine, you don't mind if I use the bathroom now, right?" "Honestly, there's nothing in the bathroom, I don't know what you're worried about."

After saying that, Kalia closed the bathroom door, leaving Roland outside.

Okay, it seems that maybe, possibly, or probably we've managed to get away with it.

But here's the question: where did the Iluvia people go?

The other person was clearly not in the bathroom, but it was also true that the bathroom had just been used...

Never mind, I'll go clean the room first.

Just as Roland was about to go upstairs, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Kid, you're quite the ladies' man."

"...No, why can you still talk to me even though I've locked you in the safe in the house?" Roland quickly recognized the voice.

You could tell from his voice that he was the Demon King who was so eager to communicate.

"Hehe, once the connection between consciousnesses is established, it is very difficult to break it. It doesn't matter where you put me."

The Demon King's voice echoed in Roland's mind: "Don't be nervous, I can't see anything. I can only hear."

"Of course, if you mind, you can block me and then continue your quilted sleeping together."

Roland was so frustrated with this unreliable devil that he begged, "Please, just shut up."

"Why? The choice was yours, kid. I'm just stating the facts."

After saying that, the Demon King sighed sadly, "Never mind, it's normal for young people not to like chatting with old people. We can chat again when we have time. Don't worry, I'll block you this time."

"By the way, the human woman who slept in the same bed with you is still in the bathroom. She just sensed something was wrong and used an invisibility spell."

"Are humans these days so unable to even detect the magical fluctuations that escape when a spell is cast?"

With a long sigh, the Demon King went silent.

This time, Roland called out to him, but he couldn't get a response.

The connection that had been faint in my consciousness has now completely fallen silent.

It seems that Roland will be unable to contact the other party until the Demon King takes the initiative to dispel the threat.

Damn it, what do you mean Iluvia is still in the bathroom?!

Roland stood in front of the bathroom door, somewhat bewildered. Should he wait there or go clean up first?

……

In the corner of the bathroom, Iluvia, who was invisible, sat in the bathtub, glaring angrily at Kalia, who was humming a song while taking a bath.

That wretched blue pet! It ruined my plans at the crucial moment!
She had finally made up her mind to secretly teleport herself into Roland's room using the authority of the royal capital's formation, and she had even prepared a loose-fitting bathrobe.

It was just one step away from victory! But then this guy showed up and ruined everything!
hateful!

Iluvia gritted her teeth and stared intently at Kalia in front of her.

If we miss this opportunity, when will we get another one?!

I can't go to Riskan with Roland yet, isn't this just giving this guy another opportunity to take advantage of me!

Kalia, who was taking a peaceful bath, was completely unaware of the strange occurrences in the small bathroom and had no idea that there might be someone behind her.

But then, halfway through washing, Kalia suddenly had an idea.

She called out to Roland outside the door, "Roland, may I use your bathtub?"

"Use it, use it..."

"Hehe, I'll use it then!"

Iluvia: “…”

Damn Roland, why did you agree to that?!

Seeing that Kalia was starting to walk towards her, Iluvia had no choice but to carefully stand up and then hop out of the bathtub.

Her skill with invisibility magic is not high; once she makes contact with someone, the magic will immediately become ineffective.

She couldn't imagine how awkward it would be if she and Kalia were to be naked together in the bathroom.

No... what am I afraid of?
I was the one who arrived first!

Thinking of this, Iluvia felt much more confident.

Although she was still cautiously trying to escape, her movements were clearly much more stable now.

Once you get the storage ring from the mirror, you can go outside and find a corner to change your clothes!
With that thought in mind, Iluvia grabbed the storage ring she had taken off before taking a bath, then quietly opened the bathroom door and slipped out under the cover of the sound of running water in the bathtub.

Then he bumped into Roland, who was waiting at the bathroom door.

When Iluvia, still soaked and with wet hair, suddenly bumped into Roland, Roland had to admit that he was momentarily stunned by Iluvia's dribbling and collision.

Although he quickly realized what was happening and draped his coat over Iluvia, this action clearly did not help to cool down the princess's red-hot skin.

Roland was certain that if it weren't for the fact that Kalia was in the bathroom, Iluvia would probably be letting out some rather cute screams right now.

But now she could only purse her lips tightly and slip upstairs to the room that hadn't been cleaned yet.

Wait, why is she running upstairs?
Just as Roland was wondering about Iluvia's choice, the bathroom door was opened, and Kalia, who had finished bathing, came out.

She dried her still-wet hair, then smiled at Roland: "Go ahead, I've already filled the bathtub for you."
