A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 6] Chapter 23
[Vol. 6] Chapter 23: Gap Moe?
Now with Amelia, this powerful demon around, there’s no need to continue riding on the backs of the eagle beasts to the seaside.
Of course, they could still ride, but…
Ifia feared that Amelia might pluck the feathers of the eagle beasts.
Don’t forget, demons have a strong possessive nature.
Especially someone like Amelia, who is extremely jealous.
So, Ifia chose to let Amelia take her and the little ones to the seaside. With a manifestation of dark magic, it was as if a thick fog enveloped the surroundings. In just a few seconds, when the black mist dispersed, the scenery had already changed.
The rushing waves incessantly crashed against the shore, soaking the delicate sand with seawater.
And there were some beautiful shells and seafood.
The afternoon sun wasn’t too intense, just pleasantly warm, making Ifia couldn’t help but take a deep breath, looking at the sunny beach and the sea, feeling extremely happy.
Looking at Amelia and her two daughters standing beside her, Ifia felt even happier.
Was this the happiness of having a family?!?
After being reborn into this world, Ifia was all alone, but unexpectedly, just a few years later, her life had become increasingly lively.
Whatever you want, you got it.
Although there were some incidents along the way, everything has passed.
Of course, it would be even better if Amelia could suspend her plan to destroy the world.
It still requires a lot of persuasion!
“Cheryl, Daryl, your sandcastle from last time was very beautiful. Do you want to build an even bigger one today?”
After arriving at the seaside, Ifia first asked the two little ones, and received nods in response. Before Ifia could take out the ‘tools’ for building the castle, Cheryl waved her hand.
“Mom, we don’t need tools. Daryl and I can use magic. Watch our performance!”
After Cheryl finished speaking, Daryl also nodded with a cheerful smile. The two little ones stood on either side and raised their hands towards the sand in front of them, immediately forming a mound of sand.
Then, they released black magic, which transformed into various tools in the hands of Cheryl and Daryl. They began modifying the sandcastle, determined to show off their skills in front of their beloved mom, showing her how talented they were!
At the same time, the gazes of the two little demons, Cheryl and Daryl, occasionally turned towards Amelia, their red eyes full of challenge towards their demon mother.
Their smiles were mischievous. It seemed to say, ‘Just wait and see how amazing our castle will be. Mom will only praise us when she sees it.’
Logically speaking, Amelia would not be swayed by such a low-level provocation.
However, whenever Ifia was involved, she couldn’t tolerate these two little demons openly competing for attention.
But unfortunately, she couldn’t kill them either.
Amelia felt that she would have to face a “tough battle” with these two brats in the future!
On the other hand, oblivious to the provocations of Cheryl and Daryl, Ifia watched them play with the sand earnestly, feeling relieved. Finally calming down Cheryl and Daryl, she could now go for a walk with Amelia to other places.
Then, it would just be the two of them, making it easier to share some secrets~
Not suitable for children to hear!
Hehehe
However, before Ifia could signal, she saw Amelia staring at the two little ones.
Her red eyes were deep.
Her beautiful face carried a hint of interest.
The focused look caught Ifia off guard. She had just wanted to praise Amelia for paying attention to the children, but upon closer inspection… it seemed like Amelia was focused on the sand, not the little ones.
Could it be that Amelia also wanted to build a sandcastle?
Ifia hadn’t expected that a mature demon would also have such a childlike heart.
Is this what they call “Gap Moe”?! [1]
(?? ? ??)
Super cute!
Ifia couldn’t help but smile at this, and of course, she had to pitch in.
“Amelia, why don’t we join in the fun too? I’m pretty good at building sandcastles!”
“Mmm.”
As Ifia expected, Amelia nodded.
Afterwards, the two adults also joined the “battlefield”, and the family of four began to play with the sandcastle.
However, unlike what Ifia had imagined as a playful activity, Amelia was very serious.
She built a sandcastle even faster and better than the ones the two little ones were building.
While Cheryl and Daryl could only mold black magic into tools and then manually start building the castle, Amelia was like a super upgraded version.
With just a point of her finger, black magic surged instantly, swiftly flowing into the sand on the ground. Within a second, the sand took shape, rapidly rising from the ground, and the black magic showed no signs of depletion!
In no time, she made a deluxe version of a sandcastle.
Even the sand figures inside the castle were intricately crafted, incredibly impressive!
In comparison, the sandcastles made by the two little ones were immediately overshadowed.
Their cute little faces turned expressionless, and the whole demon city seemed on the verge of exploding from frustration.
Cheryl and Daryl couldn’t believe it.
A mighty Demon Lord actually had the audacity to “compete” with them, little demons, in a sandcastle-building contest.
Even if she won, shouldn’t she feel ashamed of herself for such behavior???
How shameless!
This demon mother has absolutely no maturity.
Even if the two little ones were silently cursing her in their hearts, during this sandcastle-building competition, they suffered a humiliating defeat. Even Ifia couldn’t pretend to be blind and say that the little ones’ castle was better.
Ifia looked at Amelia, who had won an overwhelming victory, with a hint of smugness in her eyes and brow. She seemed a bit mischievous.
Ifia’s original intention of asking Amelia to let the children win instantly changed into praise, “Amelia, you’re amazing! The castle you built is so beautiful!”
No matter how big the demon is, they still need some praising!
Of course, Ifia didn’t forget about the two little ones.
“Cheryl and Daryl did great too. You’re just young now, but when you grow up a bit more, you’ll become as skilled as Demon Mom.”
Ifia decided she would learn to be a master of diplomacy.
To ensure harmony between the big and small ones.
When Amelia heard Ifia’s sincere praise, even though she quickly praised the two little demons as well, it didn’t diminish her good mood. She happily reached out to hold Ifia’s hand.
The sky gradually changed, the sun was about to set, and the sky was dyed red with the glow of the setting sun, painting the earth crimson.
In this warm orange light, Amelia and Ifia looked into each other’s eyes.
Their hearts pounded rapidly, and their eyes, one red and one black, conveyed a deep and affectionate love, as if the universe itself had conspired to unite them.
Compared to Amelia’s joy, the two little demons were obviously unhappy.
Even though their mom had comforted them, they still disliked their demon mother.
If it weren’t for their demon mother, their mom would only praise them. Why would the other demon get a share!!!
So, the little demons were not happy, and they wouldn’t let the big demon be happy either.
Cheryl raised the corners of her mouth coldly, watching Amelia’s red eyes flicker with malice, and began to “play a duet” with her sister.
“Daryl, do you still remember the mermaid we saw in the sea a few days ago? She was ‘very beautiful and very kind’ to us.”
“Mmm, of course I remember. That ‘kind and beautiful’ mermaid even wanted to pursue mom!”
TL Note:
“Gap Moe” in anime refers to a character trait where there’s a striking contrast between a character’s appearance or behavior and their hidden, often opposite, side.
