98: She's Deliberately Stringing Me Along, Ahhh!
Ever since returning from Noren's place, Evelia noticed that Amya had become somewhat strange.
Amya neither said any wild and shameless words to tease her as usual, nor clamored to bathe together when it was time to wash up.
Most crucially, Amya, who normally started acting up every time the lights went out, had this time simply covered herself with the blanket and gone straight to sleep! Even her hands, usually so restless and grabby, had remained completely still!
To put it simply, Amya had become well-behaved, no longer as perverted and creepy as before!
This left Evelia rather unaccustomed for a while. She thought Amya was deliberately making her lower her guard so she could catch her off guard.
Thus, that night, until the clock struck two in the morning, even after Amya had fallen into a deep sleep, Evelia still foolishly wrapped herself into a rice dumpling with her blanket, staring lifelessly at the full moon outside the window.
『Come on girl, what's going on with you tonight? How did whispering a few words with Lina put you into sage mode?』
『Could it be that I'm no longer attractive to her?』
Evelia thought about this question all night without figuring it out...
……
"Waa~ What a rare good sleep~ Hmm? Where's Eve-Eve?"
Early the next morning, when Amya woke up from dreamland feeling refreshed, she was surprised to discover that a certain little demon attachment which normally appeared on her body every morning had, shockingly, not used her as a body pillow today!?
When she turned her head, she saw Evelia sporting two dark circles under her eyes, staring at her with a resentful gaze.
"Um... Eve-Eve, did you... not sleep well last night?"
Amya scratched her head in confusion. She had thought that by specially holding back from making moves on Evelia last night, the other party would have a quite comfortable and peaceful sleep. But now it seemed... why had things developed in the opposite direction from what she expected?
"...First time being a demon nun. Too excited, so I couldn't sleep..."
Evelia wearily rubbed her eyes and casually made up an excuse that sounded unconvincing even to herself to brush Amya off.
She had no choice. She couldn't exactly say: Amya, you didn't make a move on me last night like usual, and I wasn't used to it for a while, so I didn't sleep all night, could she?
If she said that, the initiative would definitely be firmly in Amya's hands from now on. That wasn't a good development direction for Evelia...
After all, she was supposed to be luring Amya into confessing to her voluntarily. If the initiative was in the other party's hands, wouldn't that be completely hopeless?
『Pfft... I really didn't expect that girl Lina's method to actually have some effect. As expected of someone who completely won over Miss Noren in just two or three years? This girl is truly terrifying…』
Looking at Evelia's resentful appearance, hesitating as if wanting to speak but holding back, Amya knew without thinking that the plan given to her by that idea-generating genius Lina had taken effect.
That's right. Amya's "sage mode" treatment of Evelia last night was the first item in the brilliant strategy Lina had gifted to Amya.
"Sister Amya, you probably haven't held back on taking advantage of Sister Evelia when you're usually together, right? Mm-hm~ In that case, I'll give this plan to Sister Amya~ Listen well, Sister Amya. Tonight when you go back, absolutely do not tease Sister Evelia like usual. Because if you do, Sister Evelia, who flirts with you every night, will definitely be quite unaccustomed to missing the usual routine! She might even fall into self-doubt! This way, the initiative will be in Sister Amya's hands!"
The above was Lina's exact words at the time.
At first, Amya had held some doubts about this plan of Lina's. After all, given Evelia's somewhat heartless personality, if she didn't actively tease her, she would probably be secretly happy! How could she possibly doubt herself over such a small matter?
But the reality before her eyes told Amya that the situation was probably exactly as Lina had predicted! The current Evelia was clearly in a state where she wanted to come up and question why she hadn't done those things with her last night, but couldn't bring herself to say it due to her tsundere personality.
In that case, she might as well add a bit more fuel to the fire~
"Eve-Eve~"
"Mmm!?"
Seeing Amya's tender, affectionate eyes, Evelia's body trembled. Her somewhat dim eyes instantly lit up again.
That's right! It was this look! This girl Amya, every time she wanted to make a move on her, would show this exact expression!
Great! It seems it was most likely just that Amya was feeling weak last night. It definitely wasn't that her charm had decreased...
"Hurry up and get up! If you don't get up, we'll be late for school!!!"
"???"
The corners of Amya's lips curled up slightly. Then, under Evelia's incredulous gaze, she tossed Evelia's clothes right onto her head! She herself quickly and efficiently changed her clothes without any hesitation, then stood up and headed toward the door.
"Wait, what's going on with you today, Amya!? Are you feeling weak!?"
Finally, Evelia couldn't take it anymore. She angrily yanked the clothes off her head and looked at Amya, who was preparing to go to the bathroom to wash up, with complete incomprehension.
But this played right into Amya's hands.
"Oh? Why does Eve-Eve say that? I'm just getting up normally and preparing to go to school. How does that have anything to do with being 'weak'?"
"But usually the first thing you do when you wake up isn't..."
Evelia grit her teeth, her cheeks slightly red, looking like she wanted to say something but was holding back.
That kind of word was really hard to say out loud...
"Isn't what? Eve-Eve, you're being really strange today~"
"You!"
This girl was definitely doing it on purpose!
She was definitely stringing her along deliberately, absolutely!
And this was most likely Lina's idea!
Our Miss Demon was incredibly sharp. In just an instant, she guessed Amya's intention from her provocative expression.
Combined with the extremely unusual whispering between Amya and Lina before they left last night, the mastermind behind this was definitely Lina without a doubt!
Damn Lina. I kindly helped you hide things from Jasmine's side, and this is how you repay me!?
She really should let Jasmine capture her and give her a proper training session!
Thus, Evelia silently made a note in her heart about Lina. If not for her acting as the scheming advisor, how would she, Evelia, have fallen into such an awkward and passive situation!?
Just you wait, Lina. I'll make sure you get what's coming to you!
At this very moment, a certain former Church nun (current pet young lady) who was tightly hugging her master as a body pillow: "Achoo! Is someone talking about me?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, my back feels chilly too. Could it be Jasmine?"
