But now, knowing that Eriko so easily agreed to Melanie's request, Leticia was completely certain of one thing: Eriko had full confidence in her disguise.
Eriko was confident she wouldn't be recognized.
"Sister, it's not good to get carried away with pride just yet." Kira walked over, carrying a plate of sliced fruit. She had heard most of the conversation between her sister and Melanie, and for the childish bet between Leticia and Melanie, she didn't know what expression to use.
You two are the most powerful people in this world; making such a bet really ruins your image.
"Don't worry, Kira, I will definitely not lose." Leticia indicated that her sister didn't need to worry about her at all; victory in this bet was hers for the taking.
"They're meeting tomorrow. Do you want to go see?"
"Didn't you say that place was dangerous, and I'd better not go?"
"I've brought in some more people, and tomorrow the Songstress will also be present. That Elf will bring professional physicians, plus me and Luna. I think ensuring your safety won't be a problem." Melanie very seriously explained her defensive arrangements for that place to Leticia.
Her arrangements could only be described with one phrase: an impregnable fortress.
Just around Leticia herself were the Sword Saint, former S-rank hero Songstress, Luna, and those two Elves, while the outer arrangements were enough to give even ordinary S-rank heroes a massive headache.
If Leticia could still have an accident with all this, Melanie felt she could twist off her own head and let Leticia kick it around like a ball.
Absolutely, no accidents would happen; she firmly believed this.
Because the agreed time wasn't very early, the next day, Leticia easily and naturally got dressed, watched TV on the sofa for a while, and only after Melanie came to call her did she get up and bid her sister farewell.
"Kira, I'm leaving now."
"Okay, Sister, be careful." Kira walked out of the study and straightened Leticia's clothes, which had become wrinkled due to her less-than-elegant sitting posture.
"The Heavenly King is already on the way and should arrive by noon today at the earliest." Taking the opportunity to tidy her sister's hair, Kira whispered into Leticia's ear.
The speed this time was quite fast. Leticia was very satisfied with these big suckers under her command. If there were more things to do in the future, she would just keep calling them.
"Mm, when they arrive, have them stay nearby first. I'll tell them where to go later," Leticia also whispered back. "But why do I feel a chill down my spine?"
Kira helplessly looked up. Her respectable Sister Bai was staring at her with a rather intimidating gaze, seemingly displeased by the intimate gesture between her and her sister.
She's really prone to jealousy.
"Alright, Sister, remember to maintain our Demon Race's noble and elegant image in front of the Elves." After smoothing Leticia's clothes, Kira stepped back and nodded with satisfaction, looking at her sister, who exuded an air of nobility.
Indeed, a long dress paired with black stockings can give even a cute girl like Sister a mature and noble feeling.
"Don't worry." Leticia picked up the black thin gloves from the table and put them on, giving her sister a smile that indicated everything was under control. "Malanie, let's go. We can't keep our Elf friends waiting."
This girl gets into character quite quickly.
"Do you want me to hold your hand?" Melanie extended her hand.
With a slap, Leticia indicated that she shouldn't dream of marrying above her station. "Hurry up."
"Oh." Melanie retracted her hand. Sure enough, when facing her, Leticia could always seamlessly switch back to that tsundere, short-tempered girl.
Due to her physical recovery, Leticia no longer needed anyone else's help to go out today. She could now run and jump, capable of any activity as long as it wasn't too strenuous.
Of course, expecting her to fly and burrow like before was wishful thinking. According to Dr. Candice's authoritative judgment, Leticia would need at least two more months to fully recover.
After two months, Leticia would return to her peak condition.
It sounded quite long, but compared to the nearly year-long recovery period last time, it was considerably shorter.
Sitting in the car, faced with Melanie's shameless approach once again, Leticia frowned and pushed her away a bit.
"Move, move."
"Don't want to sleep today?"
"I'm not a pig. That time was an accident, understand?" Leticia snorted, indicating that what happened the day before yesterday was completely an accident. "I don't like sleeping on other people's laps."
"Really? You looked like you were sleeping soundly." Melanie felt that Leticia was being disingenuous; Leticia had slept so soundly that day, Melanie could even hear Leticia's indistinct mumbling in her sleep.
If that wasn't sleeping soundly, then Melanie felt no one in the world slept soundly.
"No, not soundly at all, and I had nightmares too."
Okay, now Melanie was completely certain that Leticia was just being stubborn.
Leticia's performance that day absolutely could not have been from having nightmares.
Speaking of which, she had been a pillow for Leticia once, but Leticia hadn't been a pillow for her yet.
Melanie thought for a second and decided she couldn't be at a disadvantage.
So, she yawned, "I'm a little sleepy."

"Then let's sleep. How long does it take to drive there?"
The Black-clad Miss who was driving answered Leticia's question, "The destination is on the other side of Central City, about a two-hour drive."
Good heavens, that place is too far, isn't it?
"For safety's sake, the farther the better," Melanie explained.
Anyway, with her extreme speed, if anything happened, she could definitely arrive at the scene within ten minutes. She didn't believe that so many people she arranged couldn't hold out for even ten minutes.
"Then that's perfect. If you want to sleep, just sleep."
"But, sleeping against the chair isn't very comfortable," Melanie said cautiously.
Sleeping against the chair isn't comfortable? Leticia turned to look at Melanie. What do you want to lean on to sleep?
Besides the chairs, there seemed to be only one other thing to lean on in this car, right?
"Um, can you..."
"Do you think you can?" Leticia smiled.
"I think I can!"
"I'm warning you, I don't have much flesh, not as soft as you," Leticia said, indicating that leaning on her wouldn't feel that good.
