Eriko had an extremely strong sense of distrust toward the psychologist she had hired. In the words of that doctor, "She is very resistant to talking about her past; that dark history has become an unhealable scar in her heart."
"Speak human."
Melanie had suppressed the urge to give her unreliable old friend a chop to the neck at that time.
"Her psychological problems are all because of her past experiences. I can't read the specific details, but I can feel that the experience was very unpleasant."
Although Eriko was very resistant, the superpower still pried open her mind unknowingly.
Because of Eriko's resistance, this mind-reading specialist only read some insignificant information.
"Actually, I still don't understand why you keep this girl here. To find trouble for yourself?"
Because the leader was not in the room, Leticia could voice her doubts.
Melanie told the truth this time: "I am supervising her."
"Got it, making use of waste, right?"
Letting Melanie, this retired idler, supervise a little girl who popped up from nowhere was indeed quite appropriate.
Melanie raised an eyebrow. What kind of talk was that? She was "waste"?
"Now, it's just you and me in the room."
Melanie said suddenly, looking at Leticia.
Leticia was stunned, and then got a little nervous.
Why was Melanie's phrasing so strange?
"I'm warning you, what you want to do is against the law."
"I don't want to do anything at all."
Melanie showed a smile that was actually passable.
From the previous eyesore to the current passable state, Melanie's ability to manage her expressions was gradually improving.
While saying this, she had already walked to the side of Leticia's bed.
"Don't do that; if you do that again, I'll call for help."
Leticia hurriedly scooted away from Melanie.
Looking at such a flustered Leticia, Melanie couldn't hold it in anymore; she covered her mouth and giggled.
The silver-bell-like laughter echoed in the room, making Leticia gradually realize how embarrassing she had just been.
What on earth was she thinking!
"I am not the kind of person who takes advantage of others. I like you, but I won't use such despicable means to get you."
After laughing, Melanie said to Leticia with a serious face, "In this matter, you can have 100% trust in me."
"Sorry, I really can't bring myself to trust you."
The voice of Miss Demon King, who had just lost face, was not as confident as before.
"Why do you like me? Is my attitude toward you not bad enough?"
Why did she fall for Leticia?
Melanie herself wasn't entirely sure.
When she first met her, she was still thinking about killing Leticia. When did her thoughts slowly begin to change?
Was it that time Leticia helped her bathe? Or that shopping trip? Or perhaps when she was bored and broke into Leticia's room to bicker with her?
Perhaps it was all of them.
When Melanie looked back again, she had already given up on taking action against Leticia, and the affection she felt for this girl made her hesitant.
The Demon King was the enemy of humanity, and she shouldn't have developed affection for the Demon King.
But the appearance of God changed all of this; Leticia and Melanie actually stood on the same front line and even fought side by side.
From enemies to comrades-in-arms, this transition might not have meant anything to Leticia, but Melanie had completely let go of the doubts in her heart.
Since everyone was on the same side, it was perfectly normal for her to pursue her own happiness, right?
Malanie was also a young woman in her twenties; constantly watching others date made her heart itch a little (limited to after retirement).
She also wanted to sleep in the arms of her lover.
"Feelings have no reason. I like you, that's all."
Melanie looked into Leticia's eyes and said calmly, "I will try my best to make you accept me."
"Then go ahead and try; I won't accept you even if I die."
"No one's feelings are immutable. I believe that one day, you will accept me."
Melanie extended a finger and poked Leticia's face. "It's so soft; if only you were that soft too."
Leticia was almost furious to death. On one hand, she said she wanted Leticia to slowly accept her, and on the other, she started getting handsy. Did this person named York have something wrong with her brain?
"Now, immediately, right now, get out of my sight."
Slapping away Melanie's restless hand, Leticia glared and pointed angrily at the door.
"Rest well."
Melanie's mood was actually quite good; or rather, her mood had been quite good ever since Leticia returned.
The white-haired girl left the room, leaving the black-haired girl lying alone on the bed.
Leticia gazed at the chandelier overhead and realized she had made a mistake; she forgot to ask Melanie to turn off the light on her way out.
No, even if she had thought of it at that time, she wouldn't have asked Melanie to turn off the light.
After all, she wanted to show her tough attitude, and adding a request to that would be a bit incongruous.
"Luna! Luna!"
Leticia called out a few times.
But the maid, who was usually at her beck and call, seemed to be held up by something, and no matter how much Leticia called, she couldn't even see a shadow of the maid.
The maid didn't appear, but another annoying guy appeared once again.
"Luna said she had some things to do and had to go out. Is something the matter?"
Melanie opened the door and poked her head in.
"Why are you still here?"
"Before Luna left, she asked me to look after you."
"Where is the leader?"
Leticia didn't really believe that Luna would ask Melanie for help; wasn't her dislike for Melanie very obvious?
"The leader, she went back to her own room."
Melanie replied, "So, do you need me to do anything?"
"It's none of your business, get out, get out, get out."
Leticia took a deep breath; at worst, she would get out of bed and turn off the light herself.
