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

Life is full of unexpected events, just like Reginald never expected his daughter to become a hero.

Philippa, Sofia, and even Tariq will probably not get what he wants.

"Now that I've introduced my teammates, can I leave with them?"

Philippa didn't want to stay any longer and wanted to leave immediately.

Reginald was exasperated, but he knew he couldn't force her to stay.

This concerns the Demon King and the Hero; it's not something to joke about.

If we force her to stay, the situation may escalate to an irreversible point.

At best, Philippa will die; at worst, the very survival of the human race will be threatened.

Reginald sighed softly and gazed intently at his daughter.

"The Holy Light Pilgrimage will be held in the next few days, and your Brave Squad will definitely have to participate. It can help you grow and improve your teamwork."

Hearing this, Philippa paused and asked Reginald, "The Holy Light Pilgrimage, all the young talents of the kingdom will come, right?"

Reginald was somewhat surprised that she would ask this.

Is there anyone she wants to see? I should be taking good care of her, keeping her away from any undesirable people, but she seems indifferent to the people I arrange for her to meet…

You're overthinking it. You're probably just eager to make a name for yourself in such a big competition.

"That's right..."

So, Gray will be coming too!

Philippa visibly became excited.

She was worried about how to see Gray.

Okay, it's not too late to stay here until the Holy Light Pilgrimage is over before going on adventures. It also allows you to build rapport with your party members. (You'd better really care about that.)

Seemingly sensing that Philippa didn't want to stay any longer, Sofia took Philippa's hand and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please excuse us."

Philippa thought to herself, "Nice!" and gave Sofia a thumbs up.

I take back my previous opinion; Miss Saintess is truly amazing!

Reginald looked reluctant to part, briefly considered what words to say to persuade him to stay, but then gave up.

"Let's go." Reginald waved helplessly.

With the king's permission, Sofia took Philippa's hand and ran off, with Taric following silently behind.

Sofia held Philippa's hand until she led her to the garden inside the palace and gestured for her to sit on a stone bench.

Taric followed.

Perhaps feeling uncomfortable sitting with the two girls, Tariq chose to stand a short distance away.

Sofia was overjoyed.

We've struck gold! We've really hit the jackpot!

Just as Philippa thought, Sophia, the saint of the Church of Holy Light, was not quite normal.

How should I describe her? If we were to use Earth's vocabulary, then this Sophia would be a lesbian, a lesbian, or a lesbian!

She is not interested in men and believes that men are only for reproduction, while same-sex love is the ultimate truth!

Lilies are infinitely beautiful, but they just can’t reproduce.

Even if I can't have children, it's still wonderful!

She was initially somewhat resistant when she heard that a hero had appeared.

After all, the vast majority of heroes throughout history have been male, and Sophia, as a saintess of the Holy Light Church, can be said to be bound to the heroes, a kind of couple that is inextricably linked in folk tales.

Defeating the Demon King is the hero's mission, while accompanying the hero is the mission of the Holy Light Church's saintess.

She was also thinking about whether to give the brave man a hard time, to show him that she wasn't interested in him and he shouldn't be interested in her either.

Sofia's eyes lit up the moment she saw Philippa appear.

I never expected that this year's hero would not only be a girl, but also such a stunning beauty.

Her petite figure aroused a strong protective instinct, and her breasts, a woman's most prized asset, were quite full, complementing her delicate face and fair skin...

It perfectly matches her aesthetic; it's like dancing on her XP!

Sofia almost drooled with envy.

She was already lusting after Philippa's body, which is why she was so enthusiastic during the introduction.

He held Philippa's hand purely to take advantage of her.

Just as Philippa sensed, the shrimp-headed woman did indeed take the opportunity to pinch her hand!

It's fragrant and soft...

Sofia herself is a stunning beauty, yet she has developed a strange craving for this guy; she's an incredibly infatuated woman.

This is such a waste of resources! (scolding)

But Taric, standing to the side, was in the way.

The clever and quick-witted Sophia also guessed the King's intention in sending such a person in, and was very dissatisfied with Taric.

Taric wasn't really interested in being a prince consort, but unfortunately, he was about to suffer Sofia's unwarranted misfortunes for a long time.

Seeing that there was no one around, Sofia decided to confront them directly right there.

She grasped Philippa's hand firmly, and as Philippa looked at her with a puzzled expression, she gazed at her with deep affection.

"Miss Hero, I've fallen in love with you at first sight. Please marry me!"

The moment the words left their mouths, both of them went completely blank.

Philippa never imagined that she would be confessed to by Sofia, who was also a girl, and she was immediately at a loss for words.

Taric was also like, "Huh???"

Oh no, we've stumbled upon some juicy gossip.

Philippa suddenly became incoherent: "I'm sorry... Sofia... I think I misheard what you said..."

Sofia said firmly, "No, you heard me right. I really did fall in love with you at first sight. Please marry me!"

Philippa was clearly experiencing this for the first time (of course, not many people would have the chance to experience this), and she appeared quite flustered.

"But we're all girls...we can't get married..."

"Miss Hero, please don't care about those worldly opinions! Do you really think those sycophantic men are so great?!" Sophia scolded, clutching her chest.

"Yes, I really dislike them. But we can't condemn them all, can we?"

Philippa lowered her voice and whispered the second half of her sentence.

Sofia didn't hear the second half of Philippa's sentence, but was overjoyed to hear her agreement with the first half, and immediately continued to brainwash Philippa.

“Since we all think those lousy men are no good, and that it’s painful to grow old alone, why can’t we get together and bring each other happiness!” Sofia blurted out her outrageous statement without any shame.

Philippa's views are rather traditional... what a load of rubbish! It's that this girl's thinking is too advanced!

Philippa instinctively wanted to refuse, but considering it wouldn't be good to hurt her feelings so soon after becoming friends with her new teammate, she softened her words.

"We've only just met, you don't even know my name, do you? You can't be so quick to..."

After hearing Philippa's speech, Sofia was even more invigorated.

For her, not being directly rejected was already a relief.

"So, Miss Hero, you agree to let me pursue you?"

Philippa: I want to say no...

"Miss Hero, may I ask your name?" Sophia asked with a smile.

Philippa was clearly helpless against this guy, she said truthfully.

"Philippa, the heroine and princess of Olmec."
