Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Damn it, Ermengarde, You're a Chainsaw Man!
"?..." Lucifer had question marks appearing over his head.
It wasn't that he had a problem; he felt that Ermengarde was the one with a brain problem!
What did the little Lich girl just say?
Touch her chest?
Touch her hole?
Is she trying to mess with my head?
It took Lucifer's brain 9.72 seconds to reboot from a complete crash... He finally understood now. To satisfy his curiosity about her, Ermengarde intended to let him try and touch her "Void."
But weren't those words a bit too audacious?! That "Void" was less than two inches above Ermengarde's flat chest! If he accidentally let his hand slip and groped her, she'd probably expose him on the internet and hold a kangaroo court to judge him when she got back to Leithania!
However... Lucifer had to admit that Ermengarde's seemingly unintentional offer made his heart tremble violently.
"...For real?"
"Hmm? Are you asking if it's real? Of course, it's real. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Others don't get this kind of opportunity and right, you know."
Ermengarde's expression showed not a hint of panic or nervousness, as if she were merely letting Lucifer touch one of her toys. Perhaps in the eyes of others, such an act would undoubtedly be considered offensive, but for a Lich, the physical body might truly be just one of their exquisite playthings.
"...Let me ask first. You haven't hidden an evil god, or some high-dimensional being that explodes on sight, inside your "Void," have you?"
Observing Ermengarde's unusually forward demeanor, Lucifer couldn't help but become wary. After all, he didn't truly understand Liches. Who knew what strange things these Liches might stuff into their own "Voids"?
However, this joke took on a slightly different meaning when it reached Ermengarde's ears. She might joke about her dignity and honor, but she would never joke about her own life! Just like what sane person would implant a bomb next to their own heart!
"Hmph! If you don't want to, then forget it!"
Ermengarde turned her face away, like a girlfriend suddenly starting a pouty tantrum in the middle of an argument.
Lucifer, on the opposite side, was suddenly at a loss for words. Should he refuse her, ensuring his own safety while also establishing the image of an elegant gentleman?
But then again... the lewd spirit within him was burning.
But he had known Ermengarde for less than a day. Making a move on her right away wouldn't be right, would it?
But the lewd spirit within him was burning!!
As he was contemplating, Ermengarde turned her head slightly to look at Lucifer, the silvery-white rope knot dancing at her fingertips.
In the end, reason lost to instinct.
Screw it! It's just a black hole, isn't it? As a Blood Demon, Lucifer's life was meant for taking risks anyway. He'd just close his eyes and go for it!
...
Under the night lamp, a man and a woman sat facing each other, as if in the next second, something not meant for children's eyes was about to happen.
Lucifer slowly moved closer to Ermengarde's chest. Besides the triangular "Void," what he didn't expect was the figure hidden beneath her black silk garment... it seemed to be even less impressive than Warfarin's?
She probably still has room to grow, right?
Lucifer guessed in his heart. After all, compared to Warfarin, whose figure was set in stone by her age, the still-young Ermengarde probably still had space to develop. The future was full of possibilities! Conclusion: have faith first, then have faith again tomorrow!
"How is it? Do you have any thoughts?"
Ermengarde revealed her chest to Lucifer without any reservation.
Lucifer shook his inappropriate thoughts away and scrutinized Ermengarde's mysterious "4D pocket (earless blue cat)" in detail.
Judging by sight alone, Ermengarde's "Void" didn't seem as incredible as he had imagined. There was no feeling of being watched, nor any illusion of being sucked in. No matter which angle he looked from, it just looked "ordinary and unremarkable." Only the white rope knot that continuously extended from the "Void" was what made one curious.
When the mind thinks, the body follows. Lucifer reached out and held Ermengarde's rope knot.
"Ah!..."
The moment Lucifer grabbed the rope knot, a tension that surged up from within her heart made Ermengarde's body tremble slightly. Her greenish-red pupils contracted instantly, and her every strange movement was seen by Lucifer.
"Hmm?... Did I hit your switch?"
Lucifer's hand, holding the rope knot, didn't dare to apply any force. He thought to himself, or is Ermengarde secretly into such kinky stuff?
Ermengarde, who was gently rubbing her thighs to ease the tension, blushed deeply and explained with a voice tinged with an indescribable shyness.
"You could say that... because we Liches usually hide our phylacteries in another dimension... which is what you call the "Void.""
"...This is your phylactery?"
For a moment, Lucifer didn't believe that this white rope knot was what Ermengarde called her phylactery. What Lich wouldn't hide their phylactery securely, instead of letting a tail hang out of the "Void"? Even if Ermengarde was a fool, she couldn't possibly be this foolish... he had reason to suspect that this rope was just a decoy. The real phylactery was still deep inside the "Void."
"Hmm... well, you can try. If you pull it hard, I might just die, you know?"
Ermengarde tilted her head, revealing a sly smile, egging Lucifer on, as if the rope knot in his hand wasn't her phylactery at all.
"..."
Lucifer fell silent, his blood-red pupils staring intently at Ermengarde before him. He had a strong feeling that if he dared to pull hard... she would transform into a Chainsaw Man right then and there.
But in the end, Lucifer chose not to pull that suspicious rope knot.
"Forget it... the only one who can give me Lich blood is you. If you kick the bucket, where else am I going to find it?"
Lucifer released Ermengarde's rope knot, letting it dangle loosely in front of her.
Seeing that Lucifer didn't make a move, Ermengarde secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was just as Lucifer thought—she wasn't stupid enough to completely expose the phylactery that symbolized a Lich's very being—destroying this rope knot would still affect her to some extent. If it were the Blood Demon Overlord or Warfarin, they would have probably thought it was fun and activated Chainsaw Man mode already.
Ermengarde smiled gently... this Blood Demon Prince was making her more and more interested.
However, just as Ermengarde was secretly feeling relieved, Lucifer didn't seem to be done with her just yet. He leaned closer to her chest again, scrutinizing the "Void" that connected a Lich to another dimension in detail.
"Phylactery aside... I'm quite interested in your 4D pocket."
As he spoke, Lucifer leaned in closer and closer, seemingly intending to directly touch her chest... ahem! Her "Void." And Ermengarde, who was nearly pressed down onto the sofa by Lucifer, had her back against it, unable to move or go anywhere. The blush on the young girl's face overwhelmed all her reason and composure.
"Yaa..."
It was in this moment that Ermengarde didn't know what to do; she began to panic even more.
