After coming out of Frieren's room, Fíliya immediately rented the room directly opposite theirs.
"Bang!"
With the sound of a heavy door closing, Miss Fíliya immediately turned around and looked unkindly at the purple-haired demon belonging to her family.
She walked over to Aura in three brisk steps, reached out to pinch the soft flesh on the other's cheeks, and then mercilessly pulled them in opposite directions.
"Look at how wimpy you were; what a disgraceful thing."
Even though Aura cried out in pain repeatedly, Fíliya did not let go. Instead, she added a bit more force. After all, whenever she thought of Aura shrinking behind her back and trembling, she felt anger rising out of nowhere.
I already said I would protect you, and what on earth is a Greater Demon like you afraid of!
She thought to herself.
"Hah! Can you blame me?! Didn't you say Frieren is very strong and I am absolutely not her match...? If you have to say it, it's you who raised me to be a wimp!"
At this moment, Aura had already been released by Fíliya. She sat directly on the wooden floor, constantly rubbing her face with her hands.
"Tsk, didn't you fight the Hero Party before? Why do I need to remind you? You are clearly just cowardly yourself."
Fíliya crossed her arms over her chest, scrutinizing the other party from a high vantage point.
"I... That doesn't count as having 'fought' ah... I had my hand cut off by that Hero in the very first encounter and was almost instant-killed like a small monster... And I haven't seen the strength of the other three."
Miss Aura looked aggrieved.
"Sigh... Forget it. There's nothing bad about being a bit cowardly. If you weren't this cowardly, you probably wouldn't have lived until now."
Fíliya looked at Aura's little expression and immediately took a deep breath. It seemed she felt that continuing to entangle herself with Aura on this issue was a very fruitless endeavor.
"Right... That's right! Look at that Frieren, she chickened out too. Hmph, even if we admit we are demons right in front of her, she doesn't dare to make a move on me. If we really fought, we'd hammer her to death directly!"
Seeing that Fíliya seemed to have let her off the hook, an arrogant look quickly resurfaced on Miss Aura's face.
"I'll hammer you to death first!"
Seeing Aura suddenly become brave again, Fíliya's anger was reignited. She had to admit that when it came to making people angry, Miss Aura truly possessed extraordinary talent.
Fíliya grabbed Aura by the collar, pulled her up, threw her onto the bed, and then immediately pounced on her.
"You! Don't go too far! I will fight back too!"
Seeing Fíliya straddling her waist with a look of contempt in her eyes, Aura suddenly felt her dignity was in imminent danger. So, at this critical juncture, she finally toughened up for once.
"Oh? Is that so? I couldn't ask for more. Come on, let me see what ability you have."
Seeing that Aura actually resisted for a rare change, Fíliya immediately became interested.
"I... I'll fight you to the end!"
Miss Aura shouted loudly and directly reached out her hands, attempting to strangle Fíliya's neck.
Just like that, Fíliya and Aura wrestled together.
This strange scene left Linie, who was on the side, feeling a bit confused. She wondered if she should speak up to stop it... Mn, better not. After all, even Lady Solitär hadn't said anything... Moreover, Lady Solitär had been spacing out ever since entering the room. If it were usual, seeing Lady Aura and Lady Fíliya sticking together, Lady Solitär would probably have kicked Lady Aura away first...
Mm... Sure enough, something like 'emotions' is still too obscure; I don't understand it at all.
Linie ultimately could only shift her gaze elsewhere and began pretending to look at the scenery.
Only a minute had passed, and Fíliya had already successfully subdued Aura beneath her feet.
Although her shoes had flown off and she was now barefoot, she still immediately revealed a victorious smile, then straightened her clothes.
"Well? Want to fight again? I can handle you easily even without magic."
Fíliya wore a sly smile at the corner of her mouth, then stepped gently on Aura's face with her foot.
Looking at Aura's unwilling eyes, she felt as if her entire soul had been sublimated.
"Damn it..."
Aura naturally felt very aggrieved, but her mood at this moment was somewhat different from before. Just now, she only felt aggrieved because she couldn't stand Fíliya's mockery, but now...
She had begun to feel aggrieved by her own 'weakness'.
She was a Greater Demon who had lived for over 500 years, possessing a tough body that had grown for 500 years (not actually tough), yet in this kind of physical brawl, she couldn't even beat Fíliya.
Magic is countered, and I can't win in a brawl either. What meaning is there for me, Aura, to live! Just let me die!
Oh no... Death is absolutely out of the question. Aura doesn't want to die... Even if she has to live on lazily while being bullied every day, she doesn't want to die. Besides, Fíliya doesn't bully her every day.
She was probably just disappointed in me for failing to meet expectations just now, right? If I performed a bit better, maybe I wouldn't have taken this beating...
Mn, actually, most of the time recently, Fíliya has been quite good and gentle to me...
No!
Wait!
Why am I actually starting to reflect on myself!
The instant she realized this, Miss Aura's eyes instantly became much clearer. Then, a blush unconsciously appeared on her face as she began to feel that this mental journey of hers was simply exceptionally shameful.
But this scene, falling into Fíliya's eyes, was a bit scary.
After all, she had just ruthlessly sorted this guy out, yet a weird flush actually began to emerge on this guy's face...
What are you doing? My god, there is a pervert here who likes being abused!
"Eek!"
Fíliya felt goosebumps rise all over her body in an instant, then jumped back a distance violently, almost falling off the bed.
Fortunately, Linie had only been pretending to look at the scenery; her attention had actually been focused on this side all along.
Thus, with quick eyes and hands, Linie supported Fíliya.
"Linie, ah, sorry for letting you see such an eye-stinging scene."
When Fíliya treated Linie, her tone instantly changed one hundred and eighty degrees, becoming extremely gentle.
But Linie didn't quite understand Fíliya's choice of words. For example... what does 'eye-stinging' mean?
Although somewhat puzzled, she had no intention of asking further. She simply silently picked up Fíliya's shoes, which had flown into the corner during the struggle, and handed them to Fíliya.
"Mn, thank you."
Fíliya nodded again. However, when she was preparing to reach out and pat Linie's head, she suddenly thought that her hands were currently a bit unclean, so she gave up on the idea.
After putting on her shoes, Fíliya didn't dare look in Aura's direction at all, and she dared not lay a hand on Aura again. After all... she was really afraid that Aura would get off on it.
