The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

"Okay, let's choose a flavor," the girl on the ice cream truck said.

“I want strawberry flavor,” Sofia replied immediately.

Philippa then asked, "What flavors are available?"

The girl pointed to the various kinds of frozen cream in the freezer.

"The pink one is strawberry flavor, the white one is original flavor, the green one is vanilla flavor, and the brown one is chocolate flavor..."

chocolate?

Philippa noticed the unfamiliar word and vaguely remembered that Sofia had mentioned it before.

It seems to be a dessert. Why would it have such a strange name as "chocolate"? Usually, the naming of an item is based on its shape and function.

Chocolate—Philippa had no idea what it was for just from the name.

This is transliteration!

"I'll have the chocolate flavor." Since Philippa had never eaten ice cream or chocolate before, she was very curious about these new things, and ordered the chocolate flavor so that they could experience it together.

"Okay, one strawberry flavor and one chocolate flavor..." The girl on the ice cream truck started making ice cream. The workload was not heavy, and she quickly finished making the ice cream and handed it to the two girls.

"Each of the two sets contains one copper coin."

So cheap! Even ordinary people can afford it at this price.

Philippa seemed to understand why the Grand Merchant Guild was so popular among ordinary people.

Such novel items were not offered at inflated prices to the nobility, but instead were priced very low.

Unconsciously, Philippa felt a sense of goodwill towards the Grand Chamber of Commerce.

While Philippa was distracted, Sofia quickly handed over the two copper coins.

Doesn't it feel like paying to treat your wife to a meal? Saintess Sophia felt a surge of joy.

Seeing that Sophia paid the bill first, Philippa didn't care much. Neither of them were short of money, so they naturally wouldn't be too concerned about a few copper coins.

As Philippa took the ice cream, she felt its cool aroma and enticing color, making her want to take a bite.

In fact, Philippa did open her mouth wide and bite down, naturally...

"So cold..."

Philippa felt her teeth were frozen solid, wondering what was so delicious about this thing, when she heard Sofia's silvery laughter.

"So cute!" Sofia laughed. "Of course it will feel cold if you take such a big bite. Ice cream is meant to be licked or eaten in small bites."

Oh, is that so? Philippa looked like a country bumpkin visiting the Grand View Garden, as if she were a country girl from the countryside.

Following Sofia's instructions, Philippa stuck out her little clove-like tongue and licked it a few times, then took a small bite with her pearly teeth.

What Philippa didn't notice was that the saintess in front of her swallowed slightly.

So tempting... I'll always love Philippa!

As the ice cream entered her mouth, Philippa finally understood why Sofia so highly praised this little thing.

The cool texture and sweet taste with a hint of bitterness (because it's chocolate flavored) are absolutely amazing!

Indeed, it's delicious!

However, in the eyes of the Saintess, Philippa, who was enjoying the taste of the ice cream and showing a happy expression, was much more delicious than the strawberry ice cream in her hand.

Resisting the urge to take a bite, Sofia handed the ice cream to Philippa: "Want to try my flavor?"

Philippa didn't realize there was anything wrong, and since she also wanted to try other flavors, she respectfully took a small bite.

There's no bitterness in this flavor anymore...

Having achieved her goal, Sofia's eyes lit up. She turned the ice cream over and stuck out her little tongue to frantically lick the spot where Philippa had bitten her.

Sofia: Thanks for the treat...hehe...

Philippa was startled.

This……

She finally realized just how extraordinary Sophia was; it was utterly insane!

Help! There's a pervert here, I can't play at all!

Philippa instantly felt unclean and silently took a step back.

Sofia, oblivious to Philippa's odd behavior, leaned closer and said, "Let me try yours too?"

Having witnessed Sofia's bizarre behavior, Philippa had no intention of rewarding her and withdrew the ice cream from her hand.

"no!"

Sofia shamelessly moved even closer: "Don't do this, just have a bite, okay?"

Philippa took a step back: "No, let me buy you another one..."

Seeing Philippa's resistance, Sofia finally realized how much psychological trauma her repeated licking of the spot Philippa had bitten had caused the girl, and she secretly regretted it.

I was careless. I should have asked Philippa for food first. The spot with her saliva still on it couldn't have been escaped. What a waste…

It's alright, anyway, the goal of the indirect kiss has been achieved.

Sofia took the initiative to change the subject and ease the awkward atmosphere between the two: "This ice cream will melt, so you have to eat it quickly."

Philippa remained wary of Sophia; she had just been careless and had rewarded Sophia, and she would never let the same thing happen again.

Philippa is trying her best to maintain her purity so that she can better dedicate herself to him in the future, the man who has already taken a place in her heart.

Unfortunately, Gray wasn't there and didn't know the girl's feelings, otherwise, he, who was least adept at dealing with genuine emotions, would have fallen for her instantly.

"Sophia..." the girl pleaded, "Please spare me..."

Sofia froze. She felt the same pain that Philippa felt for not being able to have the one she loved.

Damn it, my princess heroine has been beaten to it...

Normally, Sofia would try to brush Philippa off at times like this so that she would forget about the unpleasant thing as soon as possible, but Sofia was acting out of character now, perhaps because it was too painful.

“I know your determination. I'm sure you won't give up even if His Majesty the King tries to stop you. But what if he doesn't accept you? Besides, when will you have the time to express your feelings to him?”

Silence was the only response Philippa could give.

She is a hero, a hero who will defeat the Demon King and lead humanity.

She couldn't be with Gray until she defeated the Demon King, and the Demon King was so outrageous that she didn't even have the confidence to defeat him.

Moreover, even if the Demon King is defeated, there will still be many obstacles between her and him.

An unknown fiancée (who should have been engaged and become his wife by then), Reginald's inevitable opposition, and moreover, the girl had no idea how Grey felt about her.

Are we going in the same direction?

If you overcome all the obstacles, only to find that he has no feelings for you at all, you'd definitely break down.

She didn't confirm it, and dared not confirm it, for fear of losing her motivation to take action.

Sofia suddenly smiled, but her smile was tinged with bitterness.

"Come find me then."

"He doesn't want you, but I do."
