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

Perhaps due to his fair complexion and a bit of luck, Beta won the rock-paper-scissors game on his first try.

Beta wore a broad smile, while the blonde vampire was seething with hatred.

Originally, it was one person per day, so the order of events wasn't that important.

But Delta was mainly annoyed by Beta's victorious attitude.

"Sister, you should step back and rest. You're a vampire, aren't you? Don't you sleep at night? Go take a walk outside. We'll talk about your matter tomorrow. Don't disturb my 'heart-to-heart talk' with Lord Shadow."

Even Gray could tell that Beta's words had a hidden meaning.

It would be best to have a heart-to-heart talk!

However, Gray's impression of Beta was that he was rather shy, but at least not the type to say such things directly.

Looking back on when I first met Beta fourteen years ago, and comparing it to now.

Even though there were no changes in their bodies or appearances, more than ten years is really nothing for a long-lived elf.

But Gray felt that Beta was a little different from the Beta he remembered.

Since her body hasn't grown and developed, it shouldn't be related to the saying "a girl changes drastically at eighteen."

Can having sex change a person's personality?

Based on his experience with Kappa, Eota, Delta, and Theta, Gray drew his conclusions.

It's still the same as always.

The pink-haired succubus is still incredibly powerful, the demon girl is still taciturn, and the vampire queen is elegant... It seems that Delta has never had such an impression.

That leaves only one possible reason.

She must have been corrupted by some pink-haired succubus!

Yes, by deliberately sticking close and mocking the other waiters, Gray had already experienced what it meant to be "sitting on pins and needles" at the banquet inside the Shadow Court.

Even though a soft, fleshy body was pressed against him, he didn't feel happy at all.

Instead, it was the gazes of the ten shadowy servants around him that stung his heart.

Gray was quite certain that Beta's changes were due to Kappa's influence.

Actually, Kappa shouldn't be blamed for everything.

The influence of the pink-haired succubus was somewhat present, but the more important reason was that when they first met, Beta was, to some extent, acting out the beautiful girl protagonist in the storybook, rather than being her true self.

Now that she's won over Grey, she's somewhat relaxed her acting, and perhaps she doesn't intend to portray her infatuated, love-struck nature anymore, which is why Grey senses something slightly off.

So, not only is the pink-haired succubus dangerous in herself, devouring demons without spitting out the bones, but she also carries an "aura buff" that makes the surrounding waiters incredibly powerful.

That's too dangerous. Won't she lead another pink-haired succubus astray?

Imagine that Capa is currently in the neighboring kingdom of Demiral, and the Ten Shadows' servant in Demiral's command is the dog Zeta.

Then there's no need to worry. Could Kappa corrupt a stupid dog?

I felt a little more at ease.

While Gray was thinking about all sorts of things, Beta had already chased away the resentful Delta, closed the distance between herself and Gray, and pressed her rather ample chest against him.

Beta's soft, sweet voice wafted over along with the delicate fragrance of the elven girl, causing Gray to momentarily lose his composure.

"Lord Shadow Demon, let's go back to our room."

"Ah."

Before he knew it, Gray had been pulled close to the bed by Beta.

Gray coughed lightly, forcibly suppressing the impulse aroused by the soft touch and the girl's fragrance, and asked without much hope, "What do you mean by 'discuss'? Something more private? So let's avoid Delta."

Upon hearing this, the white-haired elf girl's pretty face flashed with a hint of surprise.

Lord Shadow was feigning ignorance. He definitely understood what he and Delta were arguing about, otherwise he wouldn't have immediately vetoed the suggestion of "both together" and said that it would be decided by rock-paper-scissors, while also considering the bug that a draw could also be interpreted as "both together".

She thought that after expressing her feelings and doing what she was supposed to do, Lord Demon Shadow should at least take the initiative to order her to serve him in bed, but in the end, it was no different from before.

Beta had also wondered if Lord Shadow didn't like people like her. Although she was absolutely confident in her looks, her figure... while not exactly sparse, far superior to Ipsilon and Eiota, was still slightly inferior to Delta and the like, and compared to the pink-haired succubus...

Those are just numbers; aside from color, size, softness, fragrance, tenderness, and perkiness... it's utterly useless.

Lord Shadow, don't you think a bigger one would be better? (Rubbing Su Fu)

However, this possibility was immediately rejected.

Delta and she were clearly treated the same, but the boss was in a much worse situation. As for Eiota... Beta was in the Azure Peak Territory, and he really didn't know what Gray's attitude was towards Eiota in terms of sex.

But judging from Lord Shadow's attitude of avoiding Kappa like the plague...

Could it be that Lord Shadow prefers younger ones?

Beta was shocked by his own conclusion, but quickly rejected it.

If that's the case, Ipsilon's flat body should have been ruined long ago. And since Ipsilon is clearly a virgin, that's why the two little ones are so close to her.

As expected, it shouldn't be a matter of likes or dislikes. Lord Shadow is simply "neither proactive nor refusing, neither taking responsibility nor failing... and yet he is truly responsible."

So, Beta realized that Aiota was able to win over his fiancée by taking the initiative to propose marriage.

The pink-haired succubus was the first to get her share of the meat; given Kappa's nature, even if you don't know how, you can guess.

So, wouldn't it be better for me to take the initiative as well?

It might be a little embarrassing to speak frankly, but it's better than never receiving any care at all.

"Lord Shadow Demon, let's sit down and talk."

Beta persisted with the excuse that he had "important matters to discuss" and slowly pulled Gray to sit on the bed.

“Hoo… um…” Beta took a deep breath, carefully choosing his words.

She couldn't just directly ask, "Lord Shadow, please take me!" She wasn't that shameless, so she needed to carefully consider what words would be tactful enough, yet not too subtle, so that Lord Shadow would understand...

After a long silence, Beta finally figured out the word formation.

Gray didn't get impatient while he was still struggling.

If Beta is too embarrassed to say it, then there's still hope for me. I can play dumb and then accuse Beta of making trouble for no reason...

Rejection is too abstract, but Gray could try to get some sleep.

Even though they already had Aiota's, their fiancée's, consent, as long as they didn't go too far, they could easily spend thousands or hundreds... (No, whose kidneys could handle that?)

We've known each other for over ten years, there are no problems on an emotional level, there's definitely mutual affection, and we've already taken that step.

The patient's physiological condition is normal, and there may even be some excessive internal heat. There is no evidence of impotence.

But Gray felt like he had gone back to square one, and he was trying his best to avoid any ambiguous relationship with the Ten Shadow Attendants.

The reason is already clear.

Sure enough, it was still because of Bai Lin that he had a grudge.
