The Demon King's Castle Enters the Rainy Season

The Demon Realm began to rain.
The entire Demon King's Castle was instantly covered in rain.
Ivelia put down the fabric in her hands and looked out the window.
The demon residents outside the window were looking forward to the rainy season for the first time.
Because, from now on, the heavy rains would no longer steal away the last bit of body heat they had left in their state of hunger.
“Hey, it’s raining, everyone should go home and take shelter!”
The male demons in the fields were shouting at this moment.
But surprisingly, everyone in the fields was still strolling in the rain.
They were all enjoying the falling rain.
Their faces revealed happy smiles.
“Hey, this rain will make our crops grow even better.”
Another demon continued his words: “That’s right, the children will get to eat freshly baked biscuits after the rain, so everyone hurry home.”
“Yay!”
When the children in the fields heard the adult demons discussing making biscuits for them, they all disappeared in a flash.
Only the adult demons remained, smiling as they strolled towards the residential district.
Ivelia looked at this group of happy demons, then glanced at Lin Ling, who was still eating on the screen.
She reached out, stroking Lin Ling’s cheek through the screen.
“It’s truly all thanks to you, my dear Miss Saintess.”
Lin Ling on the screen seemed to sense someone watching her and smiled towards the screen.
This smile fell into Ivelia’s eyes.
She felt that her usually calm expression was almost impossible to maintain.
“Since you like her so much, why don’t you just confess?”
However, at that moment, a decadent female voice came from her own room.
Ivelia heard the voice in the room—had her secret suddenly been discovered?
Dozens of deep purple soundproofing magic nests instantly appeared in the room.
Seeing the enraged Ivelia before her, Furni quickly retreated towards the window.
“Wait, wait a minute, I didn’t mean to appear at a time like this, wait!”
But Furni, retreating to the window, seemed to hit an invisible, thick wall.
“No, why is there an invisible mana wall on the window, wait.”
With nowhere left to retreat, Furni was directly grabbed by the head by Ivelia, who lifted her entire body off the ground.
“Mph! Mph mph mph!”
Furni kept swatting at the hand gripping her face.
From Ivelia’s palm, which held her, clear water even began to drip.
“…”
Ivelia looked at the drool sliding down her arm and directly threw the dragon in her hand towards the corner of the room.
“Thud!”
Furni’s dragon horn hit the barrier, making a crisp bouncing sound.
Afterward, the entire dragon slid directly into the corner of the room.
“Wuwu~ I just saw it by accident, I just arrived, wuwu, waaaah~”
Furni felt very wronged; she had just climbed in through the window and had even knocked.
“It’s clearly Ivelia’s fault for ignoring me, that’s why I came in myself.”
After sliding down from the barrier, Furni sat in the corner, hugging her knees and crying.
Her large, plump tail, which had appeared at some point, began impatiently thumping the ground again.
Ivelia watched the dragon cry without shedding a single tear. If it were anyone else, they might have been fooled by this dragon who loved to feign weakness.
But as Furni’s old friend, she naturally knew that this dragon’s crying in front of her was never a good sign.
“I know you’re fine. Tell me, what is it you’ve come to us for this time?”
This dragon would never act like this unless something was up; after all, the dragon race was quite proud, right?
Though Ivelia had never seen Furni care about her pride.
“Wuwu~ Ivelia, can’t I come see you if nothing’s wrong~”
“Now that you have the little Hero, you don’t want me anymore?”
Furni thought about pouncing on Ivelia, but Ivelia once again grabbed her by the head.
“If you don’t tell me what’s going on, I’ll just teleport you back.”
Teleportation magic began to gather in Ivelia’s hand. She was warning Furni, letting her know she wasn’t just joking.
Being caught peeping was already shameful enough, and this dragon was still putting on a show.
This made Ivelia very impatient.
If one looked closely, they would notice Ivelia’s ears were a bit red at this moment.
“Alright, alright, it’s not a big deal, really.”
White mist began to appear around Furni as her high body temperature dried all the water droplets from her clothes.
“Ah~ comfortable.”
“Ahem, well, I brought another little one to the demon race.”
Furni, seeing Ivelia’s displeased expression, quickly revealed everything she had done.
If she didn’t speak now, she might find herself at the demon border the next second.
“So, you mean, you gave the newly summoned Hero a note?”
“And you magically paved the way for him to the Demon King’s Castle, leading to the teammate’s address marked on the note?”
Hearing this absurd news, Ivelia’s eyebrows couldn’t stop twitching.
“Mhm mhm, because everyone isn’t really those super evil guys, you know.”
Furni looked at Ivelia, who was holding her head, and scratched her own head.
As long as I’m not embarrassed, others will be!
“There probably won’t be anything more absurd than this.”
Ivelia waved her hand, indicating that she knew about it.
“Mhm mhm~ I knew Ivelia was the best.”
Saying this, Furni went up and hugged Ivelia again.
“Alright, I’m done. Here, these are for you.”
Furni placed some vegetables in front of Ivelia and then flew outside.
“I’ll be back later, you know. I hope by then, you and the little Hero will have made some good progress~”
“My Lady Demon King, secretly weaving dolls here.”
Having said that, Furni used super speed to escape the entire Demon King’s Castle area.
“Heh, this dragon, now she’s concerned with other people’s love stories.”
“She doesn’t even think about how to get a proper dragon’s sleep.”
Ivelia wasn’t angry at Furni’s words.
After all, she genuinely liked Lin Ling, watching Lin Ling finish eating on the screen.
Now, it was almost time to go pick up her mischievous Miss Saintess.
In the dining hall—
“Ah, today’s breakfast was also very delicious!”
As a connoisseur of fine food, Lin Ling still expressed her highest respect to the Head Chef who prepared the meal.
“What secrets will the Demon King’s Castle hold next, now that it’s raining?”
“So, what do you want to do?”
A voice suddenly asked Miss Saintess from behind her.
“Well, of course, it’s time for Miss Saintess’s rainy day adventure story!”
【No! This voice, Masaka?!】
“Ehehehe, My Lady Demon King, I was just making things up.”
When Lin Ling turned her head, she saw Ivelia smiling at her.
