I don't want to be a dragon maid!

"Please, Lord Shelley!"

"What? What are you going to do?"

Shelley was instantly wide awake, her eyes wide as she looked at Noah and exclaimed in astonishment.

"You're not going to sleep, are you? You'll sleep on my lap, won't you?"

Noah slapped his thigh again and said in a serious tone.

"No, why should I have to sleep on your lap?"

Shelley covered her face, which grew increasingly red, looking like a ripe tomato.

“Lord Shelley, there are only chairs and tables here. It’s very uncomfortable to sleep on them. If I’m not comfortable, I won’t have any energy for work in the afternoon.”

Noah and Shelley looked at each other, and she spoke to Shelley with a sincere expression.

"No, this is not the problem..."

Shelley shook her head gently and said softly.

"Lady Shelley, are you still wary of me? I haven't done anything wrong. I just want to take care of you. You should be able to see my intentions."

Noah sighed softly, and she looked at Noah with a melancholy expression, saying in a low voice.

"Is it wrong for me to take care of Lord Shelley? Am I that annoying?"

"no……"

Shelley waved her hands repeatedly; her mind was blank, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Noah smiled slightly, and took the opportunity to reach out and pull Shelley over. With a gentle pull, Shelley fell onto her lap.

"Lady Shelley, come here, we're all girls, what's there to be shy about with just a lap pillow!"

Chapter Ten: Two People Who Fluttered Their Hearts

The sky is so blue. The clouds are so white, and Noah's legs are so soft!

To be precise, it's not just soft, it even has a hint of lavender scent.

This was Shelley's first impression. She slightly raised her head and could see Noah's beautiful face, which always had a smile on it.

For some reason, Shelley felt a flutter in her heart, and she quickly closed her eyes, forcibly suppressing the feeling.

Although Noah was summoned by her, Shelley remained wary of her. This was understandable; it was simply Shelley's way of life.

Shelley could be friendly to anyone, but she would become wary once someone got close to her life.

This was the lesson Shelley learned after she escaped from that house.

But now this experience is gradually being shaken, like a shovel smashing a small hole in the dark.

Light gradually shone into the darkness from the opening.

As Shelley thought this, she slightly opened her eyes and stole a glance at Noah.

Noah closed his eyes slightly and hummed an unknown tune. Shelley felt sleepy as she listened to the melody.

Although it was the first time she had heard this tune, she felt that it was like a lullaby her mother hummed.

At this moment, Noah noticed that Shelley had fallen asleep and was snoring softly, just like a sleeping pig.

Now, Noah's smile gradually became more and more arrogant, and her right hand clenched into a fist.

Plans are in place!

At this moment, Noah transformed into Light Yagami, revealing a confident smile.

Noah could tell that Shelley had wavered, though not by much, but it was still a small victory for her.

By gradually pushing Shelley's limits, Noah was convinced that he would soon be able to go to the bathhouse with Shelley.

What an enviable future!

Of course, Noah also hoped to develop a deeper relationship, but should we take things one step at a time?

As Noah looked forward to the future, Shelley stirred. Her face looked slightly uncomfortable, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and the tip of her nose.

Is it too hot?

Noah muttered something under her breath, and subconsciously manipulated the wind element, blowing it towards Shelley.

As a cool breeze blew, Shelley gradually calmed down, curling up like a kitten and letting out a contented hum.

Noah fell silent, quietly watching the adorable creature lying there, a small thought arising in her mind.

After much hesitation, Noah finally mustered her courage and gently touched Shelley's lips with a finger.

The soft touch sent a shiver through Noah's heart.

That indescribable sweetness seemed to spread from his fingers into his heart.

Noah stood there stunned for a full minute before she came to her senses and wiped the sweat from her brow.

The power of beautiful girls should not be underestimated!

Noah is now filled with lingering fear. Fortunately, she suppressed her inner desires, otherwise she might have taken things further with Shelley.

Like pinching your cheeks... like...

Noah's old thought began to stir again, and her hand reached restlessly toward Shelley's face.

"You two really have a good relationship."

At that moment, the nun's voice came from behind.

Noah quickly withdrew her hand. She turned around and saw the nun looking at her and Shelley with a smile on her face, the smile carrying a hint of ambiguity.

I guess so...

Noah quickly withdrew his hand, she replied.

"It's alright, you can continue. Our Lakeside Church doesn't have those restrictions; anyone can pursue love."

The nun winked at Noah and said with a smile.

"And this is the first time I've ever seen Shelley be so friendly with someone."

"Oh dear, our relationship hasn't really progressed to that point yet, but since you've said so, Sister, maybe I should try harder..."

Noah scratched her head sheepishly and said softly.

"What are you striving for?"

At that moment, Shelley's emotionless voice came through.

Noah was taken aback. She looked down and saw Shelley staring at her with her eyes wide open, her pale blue eyes carrying a hint of coldness.

"Oh dear, Lord Shelley, you're awake! You were sleeping so soundly... Oh my!"

Before she finished speaking, Shelley reached out and pinched Noah's waist hard. Noah cried out in pain, his face showing helplessness.

"Dora, is it time to start work already?"

Shelley straightened her clothes and stood up to look at the nun.

The nun nodded and said.

“You could actually rest a little longer.”

"No need, let's finish this in one go!"

Shelley took a deep breath, adjusted her expression, and once again transformed into the lovable girl next door.

Shelley resumed her work, returning to reading and writing letters to people.

With nothing else to do, Noah went to the forest and found some good herbs and wild fruits, which she made into a refreshing tea for the villagers and Shelley.

Shelley's business became even more booming.

The news that a stunningly beautiful silver-haired maid was serving delicious tea at the church entrance spread quickly, drawing people from both inside and outside the village to the church to see the silver-haired maid.

Seeing that the tea was running low, Noah simply started charging for it, three copper coins a pot.

Even so, the supply was still somewhat insufficient, forcing Noah to go to the forest again to find new herbs.

Noah then realized that the silver-haired maid's destructive power was quite astonishing!

As the sun set, the edge of the sky was dyed a blood-red color, and crows flew over the church, emitting strange cries.

"Three hundred and sixty-five, three hundred and sixty-six!"

As Noah hummed a little tune, he tossed the last copper coin into the bottle, which just filled the bottle.

There were two bottles filled with copper coins next to Noah.

Meanwhile, Shelley was sulking, her cheeks puffed out and her lips pursed so much they looked like they could hang an oil bottle on them.

"Lord Shelley, are you still angry?"

Noah leaned closer with a grin and said.

Shelley didn't speak; her cheeks puffed out even more, making her look like she had stuffed two meat buns inside.

Noah looked helpless; she hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

Noah was originally just selling tea and helping Shelley out, but all the customers came specifically for her.

Shelley's customers were simply taken away like that. This was not only stealing business, but it also negated Shelley's charm.

"So what if she has bigger breasts, a slimmer waist, longer legs, and is prettier than me...?"

Shelley looked at Noah and muttered under her breath, her words dripping with envy.

Noah chuckled wryly. It wasn't her fault! It was just that her body was too perfect.

Just as Noah was trying to figure out how to comfort Shelley, the nun came out of the church and said with a serious expression.

"You two should hurry up and leave, the time for Bloodclaw to appear is almost here."

Chapter Eleven: The Bloodclaw Society, Active Under the Setting Sun

"Bloodclaw again. Do all members of this organization appear around this time?"
