Chapter 681 First Time In A Love Hotel
Chapter 681 First Time In A Love Hotel
???????????????
Even Noelle knew when not to push Samantha too far, so after just a little bit of teasing, the gray-haired girl tactfully diverted the topic to more important matters. "The first target will be the easiest to handle, but once Emilia has dealt with him, the rest of them might go on high alert if they figure out what's going on. At that time… we should probably be ready to comfort Emilia."
After all, the war last time might have been inevitable, but they couldn't really dive into another one just to kill a few annoying pests, could they?
Crystal frowned. "Didn't we already agree to do our best not to let anyone discover it?"
The gray-haired girl sighed. "That's the plan, but I'm not very optimistic about people being unable to figure out that something isn't right. Sure, no one will normally imagine that Emilia could have killed that idiot and replaced him, but there are just too many things that can go wrong."
Dixie coughed. "You should have more faith in Emily's ability and judgment. Since she already said she'll take care of those things, shouldn't we focus on what we can do for her instead?"
???????????????
Meanwhile, Emilia was actually in a bit of a pickle.
"Didn't I tell you to be ready for the evolution?"
Knowing that her partner was definitely peeved, the crimson-haired girl could only lower her head and respond meekly. "… Y-Yeah…?"
Cynthia couldn't help but groan. "Then how come you're in an enemy territory trying to kill some nobody?!"
Emilia blushed. "I-I just wanted to make sure these guys didn't create trouble for everyone when I'm no longer here to protect them, y-you know." She paused before sighing. "Sorry... For some reason I just expected you to take longer to prepare for evolution."
Cynthia couldn't help but curse. 'Fuck! I should have just made them all suicidal or something!'
But then again, that would have wasted more energy.
To be fair, she couldn't really blame her villainess. After all... she did sometimes nap for weeks at a time without reason.
In the end, the raven-haired girl could only sigh in defeat. "Fine, whatever. Just find a safe place to hide in quickly!"
???????????????
Based on Cynthia's instructions, Emilia understood that it would take a few hours for her evolution to complete, and she would be in a completely vulnerable position during that time. Although she would be far from easy to kill, that was only compared to regular people.
After all, with all her energy focused on evolving, she wouldn't even be able to regenerate until she was done!
Luckily, there won't be much commotion during her evolution, and there were no special requirements aside from privacy.
But the crimson-haired girl still couldn't help but frown. 'A safe and private place… where am I gonna find it…?'
All the soldiers who had been sent in with her were obviously being monitored, and while she could go to one of the 'knights' for help usually… she really didn't feel very 'safe' leaving her vulnerable body to them, especially since she would probably have to reveal her identity to seek their help.
Plus, it wasn't like their loyalty could be guaranteed.
"C'mon Emilia, hurry up!"
Gritting her teeth, the crimson-haired girl could only go with the first viable idea that came to her mind. 'Not everything on the internet is true, but I hope this one is…!'

"I'll take it for two days, please, thank you."
The man behind the fogged window was shocked. "…T-Two days…? Not two hours?"
Emilia frowned. "… Is it not possible?"
Although Cynthia told her it will probably only take a few hours, she didn't want someone to come knocking on her door while she was evolving just to save a little bit of money. Noelle had given her plenty to spend, after all.
"No, it certainly is! I was just confirming." The receptionist coughed. 'Who would say no to more money? I just don't want you to regret it and make a fuss later.'
As for what kind of girl would book a love hotel for two days… it would be a lie to say he wasn't curious. Her voice was very pleasant, after all, and he felt like she must be a beauty.
Unfortunately, he could hardly see much through the fogged window, and both the angle and the quality of the security footage were bad to put it gently.
Naturally, Emilia had no idea about these things, but she wasn't too worried.
After all, the girl she was currently disguised as was one of the prettier female knights under her command in her previous world, with short ash-blonde hair and a rather chilling smile. She was fairly confident that no one would be able to recognize her.
"Shall I proceed with the two-day booking, then? The payment will have to be in advance."
"Please." Emilia smiled, though it looked more like she wanted to kill someone on her current face.
Fortunately, the receptionist couldn't see that either, and quickly processed her transaction. "That will be one thirteen ninety-nine, with special discount! Will you pay cash or—"
"Cash. Here you go."
Emilia slid the banknote under the fogged-up window, and the receptionist was only momentarily taken aback when he finally realized that there didn't seem to be anyone with her.
Anyway, assertive girls booking the room in advance might be rare, but it wasn't something that concerned him too much.
'Maybe if I'm lucky, she'll be stood up by the stupid lucky asshole she's waiting for, and be desperate enough to seek me out at the end of my shift…?' He chuckled at the absurdity of his own thoughts. 'As if…'
"Hold on, wait a minute…! I forgot to check her ID!" The receptionist hesitated for a while before sighing. "Oh well… she's probably old enough... and not a criminal."
The girl had already grabbed the change and rushed to the room number displayed on the key as soon as she got it, and he really didn't want to go through the trouble of sending someone to check up on her, or worse, do it himself.
Horny and peeved young girls were often quite unreasonable while they were eagerly waiting for their lover and someone unrelated showed up instead.
Plus, going by how she booked the room for two whole days… this girl probably wasn't just normal levels of horny.
"Hopefully, the boss won't check the footage, or I'll be in trouble."
