Her reaction was too normal, so normal that there wasn't a single abnormality.
"Are you suspecting Senior Songstress?"
"Otherwise?" Leticia stretched. "You trust her because she is your senior, and you have a preconceived notion that she is innocent. But for me, she was once my enemy, and I never hold any trust for my enemies."
Yeah, absolutely never hold any trust.
Just take it as the truth.
"Then what about me? You don't trust me either?" Melanie immediately seized the opportunity to ask the question.
The fact that Leticia trusted Melanie seemed to have been laid out on the table and become a consensus for everyone.
Otherwise, would Leticia have come to the Human World so carelessly while completely lacking combat power? Would she have gone to the Hero Association with Melanie? Would she have gone with Melanie to that place where security was even stricter than the Council?
The fact that she dared to go only proved one thing: Leticia trusted that Melanie would not hurt her. She trusted this young girl who had once almost killed her.
"You are the one I trust the least!" Leticia, of course, would not admit this. She slapped the sofa armrest beside her and refuted with conviction, "How could you have such a misconception? Let me tell you, I, Leticia, have never trusted you, you bastard."
Being unstraightforward again. Melanie felt the expression on her face might be developing in a strange direction—the kind where you want to laugh but are trying to hold it in.
Such an expression, of course, couldn't escape Leticia's eyes, and this young lady understood the meaning of this expression quite well.
"You're laughing at me!"
"No, absolutely not." Melanie immediately started to quibble; she wasn't laughing at all.
Oh, it should be said that she hadn't laughed out loud.
"You are! Absolutely you are!"
"Really, I'm not."
Watching Her Majesty and Melanie wrestling on the sofa, Luna, who was wearing an apron and preparing dinner, helplessly covered her face and shook her head. She always felt that when Her Majesty was with Malanie, her personality would develop in a rather strange direction.
That is, she would become rather unreasonable.
She would always start bickering with Melanie over some trivial matters. It used to be fine, just using their mouths, but now it had developed into using their hands. And then what, would they start using their feet too?
Ah, no, they had already started using their feet.
Seeing Leticia kick towards Melanie and then get her ankle caught by the girl, unable to move, Luna felt she should step in to end this farce.
She took a step forward, but the sound from the pot behind her told her that if she walked away right now, today's dinner would probably turn from a delicacy into a culinary disaster. As a maid, Luna could not tolerate such a thing happening.
So, Your Majesty, you're on your own!

As for Melanie, she looked at the small, black-silk-covered foot she was holding in her hand, inwardly marveling at how truly beautiful Leticia's foot was.
This was the first time she had observed Leticia's foot from such close range; previously, she had at most seen Leticia's thighs, but her feet—this was the first time.
After all, Leticia wouldn't have just flown over and kicked her before.
Hearing Leticia's words, Melanie hurriedly let go, feeling that this position seemed a bit off.
On one side, Leticia was still trying hard to pull her foot away, and on the other, the moment Melanie let go, well, she immediately lost her balance.
However, Leticia now had magic power, so it was impossible for her to fall again.
But while she had confidence in herself, someone else didn't have confidence in her.
When Melanie saw Leticia flailing her arms and falling backward, she reacted in an instant, running behind Leticia at top speed and opening her arms to pull the girl into her embrace.
From Leticia's perspective, a flash of starlight, so familiar it made her want to vomit, streaked by, and then she was held by something warm.
Moreover, due to the position, she felt the back of her head sink into two soft things.
After a moment of thought, she more or less understood what was behind her head; it was definitely those two lumps of Melanie's, as she was the only one here who would do such a thing.
Kira's speed wasn't that fast, and Luna's weren't that small; it could only be Melanie.
"Let go," Leticia said, blushing.
"Oh." Melanie released the hands that were holding Leticia.
The girl took a few steps forward, turned back, and said to Melanie, "I have magic now..."
"Sister! You really are here!" Before Leticia could finish her sentence, Yori, who had just returned from school, rushed in excitedly from outside.
When the girl came in, she seemed to have completely forgotten about knocking on the door.
"Quinn is here too." The young girl happily greeted Leticia, then asked what Kira was doing, "Where is Little Lu? I want to invite her to go out and play tomorrow."
Ah, come to think of it, it seems to be the weekend again.
Since the people around her were either unemployed or the type who worked all year round, Leticia didn't feel anything about the arrival of the weekend.
However, this time, she couldn't let Little Lu take Kira away.
"Little Lu is working, Little Lu, don't go disturb her," Leticia said with a smile.
But her younger sister clearly had no intention of saving face for Leticia; just as her sister finished speaking, Kira walked out of the study, yawning.
After seeing the girls in the living room, she greeted them naturally: "Good afternoon, Sister, Sister Bai, Little Lu."
"Little Lu, Little Lu, let's go out and play tomorrow!" Seeing Kira appear, Yori immediately went up to her.
"I can't, I'm a bit busy lately." Kira shook her head, then cast her gaze toward the duo of sisters watching the show on the side, signaling them to hurry up and help her dismiss York Ya.
"Sister is busy, Quinn is busy, and now Little Lu, you're busy too! What on earth are you all busy with!"
Yori felt that everyone was keeping things from her. A few days ago, her sister said she wanted to send Eriko to another place for recuperation. When Yori wanted to ask where she was being sent, her sister hemmed and hawed and refused to answer.
