Chapter 156 - What Amos Really Needs Is...
???????????????
Seeing the heroine choke due to her shock and embarrassment, Emilia couldn't help but smile in amusement. "Don't rush, I can feed you more later… And I don't mean the truffle."
"E-Emilia!"
Emilia smiled as she kissed the short-haired blonde on the cheek, embarrassing her even further. "Aw… so cute!"
While Emilia was teasing Crystal till the poor girl's face burned, Penny was finally done 'picking' what she liked from the fridge. She approached Emilia bashfully. "P-Princess, I might have taken too much. Can I really have all this?"
Emilia felt her lips twitch as she saw how much she had stuffed in her clothes and bag, and sighed as she squeezed the girl's cheek. "What are you going to do with so much? If you get sick because of me, won't I feel bad?"
Although her cheek was being squeezed, Penny grinned shyly instead. "Ehehe… I s-share it with your other servants, princess!"
Emilia blinked. It didn't take her long to realize which group of people Penny could be talking about. After all, she did create her club with Emilia's permission. "By 'servants'… you mean the 'knights'?"
Penny nodded, looking proud. If it could, her ponytail would also stand up straight with pride, increasing her height from four to nine feet. Unfortunately, she didn't have such abilities yet.
Emilia couldn't help but grin. 'So that's their 'salary' huh… so cute! Ah, if there are any more of such adorable knights like Penny, wouldn't it be a pity to not meet them? I must keep it in mind once I get some extra time.'
In the end, Penny got an extra bag to keep all her extra loot in, and later on, the knights had a major celebration.
???????????????
Of course, although Penny was adorable, and she ended up forgiving her for the interruption, Emilia was still left frustrated and unsatisfied in the end.
"Whoever ends up interrupting me next… I will definitely screw them instead."
But with the moment gone, and the heroine already being so embarrassed and shy, Emilia decided to let her be for now. She had a feeling that Crystal wasn't quite ready to go farther anyway.
Cynthia sighed. 'I feel like she'll go however far Emilia takes her, and complain about not being far enough while pretending to be shy. This hypocrite heroine!'
Thankfully, her villainess was both na?ve and unlucky, or with her overly hormonal brain, she would be getting screwed left and right!
Cynthia had a feeling that such luck couldn't go on forever, however, and she dreaded the day she would have to watch their disgusting mating ritual. 'Even though she's now a higher lifeform, ahh! Why is she so stupid!'
Emilia felt like someone was badmouthing her, and she couldn't help but get a little suspicious. 'Who could it be? It's definitely that bastard hero, right?!'
???????????????
Amos had been in quite a conundrum about what to do when he realized that he might have made a mistake by letting Emilia know of his father's plans in advance.
Of course, he knew it was unlikely that the vile bitch could even understand half of what he said, much less the underlying implications, but it was still possible that she would end up blabbering about the whole thing in front of someone who could.
And if that happened, wouldn't his chances of rescuing his sunlight, the love of his life, slip right out of his hands?
Amos didn't believe his father was competent enough that his plan could survive intervention from people who already knew about it, so he knew he must be the one to make sure this thing didn't end up affecting Crystal's rescue.
With his capability, it wasn't difficult to come up with a plan that none could have dared dream of in but a few moments.
The first step to making sure his idiot father's plan didn't fail, was to realize what it actually was. Of course, that bastard would probably never tell him if he asked, but such a simple thing wasn't hard to figure out for Amos.
Since he had asked the bastard to nab Crystal, he would surely be planning to kidnap her. And since his bastard father was lazy, he would do so in a way that required the least effort, which means he would probably do it when she was on her way to or from the school.
And now that the vile ex-fiancée of his knew about it, she was sure to be around when it happened. In the worst case, they might even have enough help to prevent his bastard father's plan from succeeding.
The hero thought, even if that bitch manages to get enough forces to counter his father's, she would surely take Crystal and escape. 'At that time, I can simply swoop in to save my precious sunlight, earning double the rewards with almost no effort! Genius!'
After all, in a one against one situation, could that conniving little bitch use those twisty words of hers to overcome his fists? Of course not. He could easily pummel her to the ground before leaving with his sunlight.
However, to make sure this happened, he couldn't just sit and wait, nor could he let his father know. He would just take his anger out on him, and nothing would change.
Instead, he had to make sure that he was there when it happened, and he also had to make sure he was able to take Crystal from Emilia. That honorless bitch might also have some help, so he needed a weapon just in case.
Getting a weapon wasn't difficult for Amos. However, doing so without his father suspecting anything was another thing. It was unlikely that anyone would just ignore if their gun went missing, after all.
As for a knife, well, Amos didn't think it would be sufficient. If that bitch had a guard with her at that time, a knife wouldn't help, and if she didn't have a guard, he wouldn't need a knife anyway. What he needed… was a gun.
Fortunately, he knew just where to get one without letting his father suspect a thing.
