Book 5: Chapter 33: Monster
“Lillith?”
A slightly familiar voice rang out from behind Leonith, causing him to snap his head around, baring his fangs like a frightened little beast at the owner of the voice.
“Who are you?”
Anyone who could see right through her impeccable disguise was no ordinary person.
When Leonith saw who it was that had called out to her, she froze and blinked.
The girl behind her was dressed in a knee-length black and white dress that flattered her figure. Her white stockings covered her perfectly shaped legs. Her long, silky hair cascaded over her shoulders, framing her delicate face.
Her huge, watery eyes sparkled with mixed emotions.
She was a stunning beauty, and to top it off, one that was dressed as a maid.
Leonith admired her for a moment before backing away cautiously. His experience had taught him not to underestimate those who were bold enough to strut around in a maid dress in broad daylight.
“Who are you, how do you know my… real name?”
“Who am I?”
The mixed emotions in the beautiful maid’s eyes quickly turned into volcanic anger. She took two steps forward, grabbed Leonith’s shoulders and started shaking him fiercely. Her surprising strength made it hard to believe that she was a frail and delicate girl.
“B?a?s?t?a?r?d?, you have the nerve to ask who I am after what you’ve done to me? You’re a monster!”
Leonith steadied himself, then lifted his sunglasses slightly as he carefully swept his gaze over the beautiful maid once more.
He shook his head and said, “I’m sorry. I’ve certainly seen quite a few maids recently, but I fail to recall who you are.”
Although it was hard to believe that Leonith could forget a beautiful maid like her, her androgynous voice did sound somewhat familiar to him.
“Damn it, come with me.”
The maid was not willing to give up. She gritted her teeth and took Leonith’s hand, determined to drag him off somewhere.
“What are you doing?”
“Stop asking questions and just follow me.”
She was beautiful, but not cute at all.
Leonith grimaced, but made no attempts to free his hand from her grip because he sensed no real hostility from her. Besides, he was also curious to know if the maid was really an acquaintance of his.
The maid pulled Leonith toward a deserted area. She looked around cautiously before staring straight at him and said, “Watch closely now.”
The beautiful maid reached the top of her head, then grabbed a fistful of her long, silky black hair.
With a hard pull, the entire thing… came off.
“AH!”
Realization dawned upon Leonith. He pointed at the beautiful maid in shock and exclaimed, “You’re bald!”
“Who’s bald? Can’t you see the stubble?”
“Oh~”
Realization dawned upon Leonith once again.
“I see… So you have cancer and you want me to cure you of it.”
“What the hell are you talking about?!”
The beautiful maid slapped Leonith with her waist-length wig and thundered, “Can’t you tell that I’m a man?!”
“A man?” Leonith gasped in shock with a pale face.
“You’re a pervert?”
Leonith stared at the maid with a wary look on his face as he slowly backed away, covering his chest protectively with his arms.
“Did you… bring me all the way out here to… do something perverted to me…?”
Leonith backed into a corner. With nowhere else for him to run, he put up a brave front and intimidated the maid.
“I’m warning you now, don’t come any closer, or… or I’ll scream! You better know that I can scream very loudly. Everyone in this building will hear me and come! By then, everything will be over for a cross-dressing pervert like you!” he spat viciously.
The maid took several deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the idea of fighting this guy in front of him. She… He sneered coldly..
“Hoho… Still playing dumb huh? I refuse to believe that you still can’t recognize me.”
“Who are you? I’m sorry, I’m not interested in knowing who a pervert is.”
A throbbing vein bulged on the maid’s temple.
“As expected of the most famous and beautiful student in St. Caroline Academy. I bet you’re also the most shameless person in the academy, Lilith.”
Leonith looked to his left and right.
“Huh? Where’s Lilith, the most kind, cute, smart, considerate, beautiful and lovely student from St. Caroline Academy, that you speak of? There’s only a manly man here.”
The maid’s beautiful face contorted with rage as he grabbed Leonith’s shoulders and growled, “You can’t fool me. I’ll definitely make you return what’s most important to me today!”
“Look, an airplane!”
Without looking back, the beautiful maid snorted. “Do you really think such childish tricks will work on me? Thanks to you, I’ve outgrown my old, naive self.”
Leonith sighed helplessly and said, “Oh Kieran, can’t you see? You have no chance of defeating me.”
Kieran, the beautiful maid, sneered.
“Finally admitting it, you b?a?s?t?a?r?d?.”
Leonith looked up at the sky and sighed.
“Does it matter if I admit it or not? In any case, you’re going to…”
The corners of Leonith’s mouth curled up into a sinister smile and he suddenly shouted, “Take this! Nutcracker Shadow Kick!”
Kierans’ face paled as he released his grip on Leonith to protect his vital parts.
However, the anticipated attack never came. Kieran looked up, only to realize that Leonith was already standing ten meters away, waving and grinning at him.
“Didn’t I tell you that you’ll never be able to defeat me? Sorry, I was only shouting for fun. Did you think I would be so cruel? Anyway, I have to run now. See you later!”
Kieran gritted his teeth as he watched Leonith leisurely bouncing away with his hands behind his back.
“Damn you. Did you really think I would let you off so easily?”
?????
Leonith had lost count of how many times he was on the run today.
He patted his chest, trying to calm his palpitating heart.
“What terrible luck I have to meet Kieran in a place like this.”
Kieran…
That Kieran who challenged Lilith and was swiftly defeated within a second not long after she enrolled in the academy. Lilith then forced him into the maid outfit her mother had given her and sold him for a measly price to Diana to handle all her official duties.
If Leonith had not bumped into him out of the blue today, Kieran’s existence would have been completely erased from his memories.
Thinking up to this point, Leonith suddenly clapped his hands in realization.
Oh no, how pitiful Kieran is. Lilith is truly a monster for treating Kieran that way.
However…
Leonith’s lips curled into a smile.
Well, whatever between Kieran and Lilith was none of his business. It was time to go~
Leonith had only taken two steps when he was interrupted.
“Where are you sneaking off to, Leo…nith?”
That voice was so unusually gentle, that it chilled Leonith like a gust of winter wind.
