"As long as it's me, I can do anything?"
"Then can you get down on all fours on the ground right now and bark like a dog?"
Lumina smiled faintly, her eyes filled with an unhidden, mischievous grin.
Herta: "?"
Hearing Lumina's words, Herta's mouth twitched slightly.
Do you even hear what you're saying?
Get down on all fours and bark like a dog... Is this something a person who has always wholly and devotedly "loved" a beautiful girl could say?
Looking at Lumina before her, Herta suddenly felt a wave of strangeness.
This sentence could be spoken by anyone, but it was the one thing that could never come from Lumina's mouth.
Because this meant... her persona had collapsed!
"Hmm?" Feeling Herta's gaze, Lumina let out a soft hum in response.
Well... alright, her persona hadn't collapsed.
Hearing Lumina's soft hum, Herta also saw the smile in the depths of her eyes at this moment. The instant she saw the smile, Herta understood that this Lumina was just playing her.
Even if she really had to do this action, she would definitely...
"Nope." Before the words in Herta's heart could finish forming, they were interrupted by the sound of a soft voice speaking in her ear.
"If Madam Herta really obeyed my words and did such a thing, I, of course, wouldn't refuse."
"In fact... I would even record the scene of your 'little dog barking' and then use it as a weapon to threaten you."
Lumina very honestly said the words in her heart.
You know what, although Lumina couldn't stand to see beautiful girls suffer.
But, how could things that make her feel pleased be considered beautiful girls suffering?
"...You really are full of wicked tastes." Hearing Lumina's words, Herta fell silent for a moment, then sighed deeply.
Hearing this, Lumina smiled faintly, and did not offer any rebuttal to Herta's words.
Then her small eyes turned, and that kind of naughty emotion surfaced in Lumina's eyes once again.
She leaned her head close to Herta's ear, first taking a gentle breath, feeling the fragrance emanating from Herta's skin at close range.
Mmm~ Ninety-nine percent, a rare item!
For the fragrance emanating from Herta's skin, Lumina immediately gave it the highest grade evaluation.
Then her small mouth gently blew a breath of hot air against Herta's ear, and she spoke: "Hey, Little Herta, have you never heard a saying?"
"Lumina is Not Broken, Herta is Not in Love."
Lumina's voice, deliberately controlled, sounded exceptionally seductive. Even Herta, whose defenses were extremely strong and solid, was instantly broken and defeated in this moment.
The calm expression on her face collapsed in a split second. Her snowy white ears also began to turn red in an instant, completing the blush in just a single second.
Then, with time passing and under the influence of Lumina's words, her mind began to race with wild imaginations. Ultimately, due to the scenes rapidly flashing through her mind, several rosy clouds also bloomed on her fair little face.
If one looked closely into her purple eyes, a hint of haziness could also be seen.
Herta's current appearance was just like a woman after drinking.
However, she had not become like this because of alcohol, but because of a single sentence from Lumina...
Obviously, being able to reach this state because of a single sentence meant that she must be thinking of some...
Unspeakable, lewd things...
"Hey, Madam Herta, are you thinking of something lewd?" Seeing Herta's rare, blushing state, Lumina saw right through her thoughts.
Immediately taking advantage of the situation, Lumina spared Herta no dignity and directly spoke the thoughts in her head aloud.
"..."
Hearing Lumina's words and feeling the shame of having her lewd thoughts discovered by the very person they were about, Herta's already blushing little face turned even redder.
Even someone as strong as Madam Herta still couldn't effectively control her expression in this situation.
"Y-Yes, that's right, I was thinking about some lewd things." Herta crossed her arms, hurriedly suppressing the emotions continuously surging within her heart.
"I-In my mind, you went from calling me 'big sister' all the way... all the way to 'mommy'."
Saying such words was a complete trial for Herta.
But in order to successfully get through this crisis, Herta still forced down all the thoughts in her heart and spoke this sentence aloud.
"...Heh, as expected of Madam Herta, even her way of speaking is different from everyone else." Hearing Herta's words, Lumina's small eyes widened slightly, and then she chuckled.
From calling her 'big sister' all the way to 'mommy', Lumina didn't react at first.
But after thinking about it for a moment, she knew why she would be called from 'big sister' to 'mommy'.
...Besides begging for mercy, what else could be happening?
Lumina had just never expected Herta to actually say such words.
"It seems... Madam Herta knows a lot, a lot." Lumina winked at her, sending over a cute wink.
Lumina's face wasn't a loli face, nor a young girl's face, but the kind in between a young girl and a mature woman. This wink, fired straight out, almost left Herta completely mesmerized.
And in the next few seconds, Herta's face became even redder.
It seemed that in her mind, Lumina was again and again begging for mercy with "Mommy, Mommy."
Lumina didn't know the fantasies in Herta's mind, and although she was a bit curious about it, she had no way to see this scene.
While secretly feeling a pity for this in her heart, Lumina came behind Herta, and her left hand reached out from behind to embrace her waist.
Feeling the softness transmitted from her arm and palm, Lumina's heart just rippled.
Even though it wasn't the first time she had done this, the feel of Herta's waist still made Lumina feel unable to stop.
Fortunately, Lumina's will was firm, and she quickly snapped back to her senses.
She hadn't forgotten the main purpose of this action.
The arm embracing Herta's waist tightened slightly, pulling her closer. Feeling Herta's back pressed against her chest, Lumina slid her right hand under Herta's arm, passing across her chest, and rested it diagonally on Herta's left shoulder.
Feeling the softness against her arm, Lumina's breathing became a little labored.
Forcing herself to endure this, Lumina then gently rested her head on Herta's right shoulder.
She performed a gesture that made them almost completely pressed against each other.
Lumina was a little taller than Herta, so this gesture looked perfectly natural, just like an older sister doting on her own younger sister.
The head resting gently on Herta's shoulder, just like before, softly breathed a puff of hot air against Herta's ear.
"Hey, Little Herta, do you want us to go discuss things properly tonight?"
"Discuss some... unspeakable lewd matters?"
