Her voice grew softer, sweeter — and more unhinged.
"Oh, my Demon King… I shall go to you myself and prove my loyalty, my true love! Where is Young Wolf now? Where is the Demon King?!"
"He is currently in Greenwood… but he will return to Wolfwood in three days," the demon girl replied.
A wide smile spread across Quelenna's face.
"Then I shall go to Wolfwood. And I will personally welcome my beloved husband… in our new home!"
The wounded succubus recoiled in shock.
"You want to go to Wolfwood… alone?!"
"Who do you think I am?" Quelenna snapped. "I am the Succubus Princess! One of the Demon Generals! Do you dare imply I cannot go wherever I please?!"
"But my Lady… Wolfwood is a nest of monsters right now…"
Quelenna's smile softened into something disturbingly blissful.
"Of course it is. Because the Demon King lives there."
The demon girl fell silent.
Quelenna no longer paid her any attention — she was already lost in her own fevered, love‑struck world.
End of Volume II
The second volume has come to an end.
Thank you for reading both the first and the second book — we'll be waiting for you in Volume III, where even greater twists await.
Preview of the Next Volume
In a dim, book‑filled room — a place that seemed to exist outside the world itself — three narrators stood together: Uriel, Eli, and Sakura Dry, as if they were casually commenting on the story's progression from their own private dimension.
Uriel:
"The second volume has concluded. The first battle against the Demon Army is behind us, and now the real complications begin across the Continent."
Eli:
"New fun characters appeared, and we had to say goodbye to a few others."
Sakura Dry:
"Wars always come with losses."
Uriel:
"Let's talk a bit about the next one — Volume III."
Eli:
"We finally reach the Empire, and we're going to buy some slaves!"
Sakura Dry:
"We wanted to go there in the previous volume too, but Wildfire interfered… and burned that opportunity to ashes."
Eli:
"Yeah, blame the demons, not the author!"
Uriel:
"Sometimes side stories grow into full arcs. Then new inspiration comes along, and… well, you know the rest."
Sakura Dry:
"But in Volume III we finally meet the new member of the Heroes' Party!"
Eli:
"Yeah, the one who—"
Uriel:
"You can't say their name! Or who they are, or what they look like."
Sakura Dry:
"But they're still insanely cool, that—"
Uriel:
"One more word and I'll seal your brandy behind seven heavenly locks!"
Eli:
"Hahaha! Even I couldn't break that many locks quickly."
Sakura Dry:
"We'll also meet the most beautiful Demon General — Quelenna."
Eli:
"That stupid goose thinks Young Wolf is the Demon King."
Uriel:
"What kind of situation did you get yourself into, Andras?"
Sakura Dry:
"There will be trouble in the Imperial trade city."
Eli:
"And there's going to be some kind of gladiator tournament."
Sakura Dry:
"I wonder who will participate? And what kind of strong opponents will appear?"
Eli:
"Well, we'll have a Hero‑Party‑level fighter… and a Warrior Maiden from that island you come from."
Sakura Dry:
"What?! Are you saying a Warrior Maiden from my island isn't worthy of Hero‑Party level?"
Eli:
"I didn't say that! I have no idea how Heroes pick their teammates. There are tons of strong fighters on the continent."
Uriel:
"Alright, don't start arguing about who's stronger. We'll find out at the gladiator tournament — which will be full of surprises."
Sakura Dry:
"So how many slaves will be purchased?"
Eli:
"Well, Noelle buys one, Eris buys one… and Young Wolf buys a few."
Sakura Dry:
"What do you mean a few? Isn't one enough for him?"
Uriel:
"It'll definitely be more than one, but the final number is still a secret."
Eli:
"Yeah, even Young Wolf doesn't know how many he should buy. He'll decide in Volume III."
Uriel:
"So the point is: Volume III takes place in an Imperial trade city, there will be an exciting gladiator tournament, and all the other adventures will unfold once we get there. Alright, goodbye!"
Eli:
"Bye, readers!"
Sakura Dry:
"And make sure to read Volume III too! Bye‑bye!"
Maid Extra – The Daily Tragicomedies of the Wolfwood Castle Maids
Scene 1 – "Masterful" Cleaning
Noelle:
"Fireburp, I said clean the fireplace, not reignite it!"
Fireburp:
"But… since the ashes were already there, I thought I'd make a fire too."
Andras:
"Why is the top of the fireplace on fire?"
Fireburp:
"Side effect."
Noelle:
"Side effect?! The roof is burning, you little fire‑rocket!"
Fireburp:
"So is that good or bad?"
Andras:
"Depends… do you enjoy being chased around the castle by a screaming Noelle?"
Fireburp:
"No."
Noelle:
"Then run."
Scene 2 – Lili's "Combat Training"
Lili:
"Noelle, teach me how to be a Battle Maid!"
Noelle:
"Alright. First lesson: how to elegantly knee a bandit in the groin."
Lili:
"But I'm still small…"
Noelle:
"Exactly. You're already at knee height."
Andras:
"That's logical."
Fireburp:
"I'll teach Lili too! First lesson: fireball!"
Noelle:
"No! Lili is not learning fireballs!"
Lili:
"But it would be so cool!"
Andras:
"The castle has a lot of wooden furniture, so… better not."
Scene 3 – The Great Laundry Disaster
Noelle:
"Fireburp, why is the laundry room smoking?"
Fireburp:
"You said the water needs to be hot."
Noelle:
"Yes, but not molten lava."
Andras:
"The clothes… why are they glowing red?"
Fireburp:
"They're fireproof now."
Noelle:
"And why are they moving?"
Fireburp:
"Maybe I used too much magic."
Andras:
"The clothes have come to life.
This is either a curse or a new fashion trend."
Scene 4 – The Head Chef's Nightmare
Lili:
"Mom, I'll help you cook!"
Head Chef:
"Oh no, please don't…"
Lili:
"Fireburp will help too!"
Head Chef:
"NO!"
(The kitchen explodes.)
Andras:
"That was fast."
Noelle:
"The kitchen has never been destroyed this quickly."
Fireburp:
"But it smells nice!"
Head Chef:
"That's your own hair, sweetheart."
Scene 5 – The Big Misunderstanding
Lili:
"Noelle, what's a 'personal maid'?"
Noelle:
"Someone who assists the lord with all his needs."
Lili:
"Then I want to be one too!"
Andras:
"No, no, no! One is more than enough!"
Fireburp:
"I want to be a personal maid too!"
Noelle:
"We are NOT becoming a harem!"
(Andras coughs and looks away.)
Fireburp:
"What's a harem?"
Lili:
"Is it like a group of maids?"
Andras:
"No!"
(But he stops talking very quickly.)
Scene 6 – The Lord and the Maids' "Respect"
Noelle:
"Young Wolf, your task for today: don't do anything stupid."
Andras:
"That's discrimination."
Fireburp:
"What's dis… dis… dis‑pig‑nation?"
Lili:
"I think it's when people make fun of pigs."
Andras:
"Yes, exactly. That's what happened to me."
Noelle:
"No. You just do stupid things."
Scene 7 – The Final Punchline
Fireburp:
"Noelle, why do they call us Battle Maids?"
Noelle:
"Because we fight and we're maids."
Lili:
"Then if I fight but I'm not a maid, what am I?"
Andras:
"A problem."
Noelle:
"A big problem."
Fireburp:
"And I'm a dragon!"
Andras:
"Yes, you're the biggest problem."
Fireburp:
"Thank you!"
