Chapter 519 - Trouble For Troublemaker (2)

Dylan smirked to see his daughter silent as if in doubt. "You're not sure that they can accept you as a devil? They probably won't be as nice as they used to be. How about it? Want to come back with me to the palace?"

"Hmph! My form is different but I'm still the usual me. I just need to wait a few days until I can return to my normal form, right? In that case, it won't be difficult." Sylvia snorted and puffed out her chest to show her confidence.

"Heh, is it like that? Then, let me see what might happen." Dylan narrowed his eyes.

"If you want to come along then go ahead. Ely knew from the start that I was a devil and she never cared about our differences. Let's go back to the island, Ely." Sylvia put her hand on her friend's arm and invited.

"Sea God will seal this island. Wait a minute, Sylvi." Elysia then looked at Oceanid.

"This will only take a moment." Oceanid answered kindly. He then raised his hands high. "Ha!"

The vast waves suddenly rose high from the surrounding ocean. They approached and wrapped the entire island like a solid water dome. However, it gradually sank to the surface of the sea. It was as if the island never existed in the first place.

After adding a seal formation in the ocean, Oceanid faced everyone with an approving nod. "That will seal the island from other creatures that want to enter without my knowledge. Let's go."

With that being said, everyone flew to the nearby island where Gio and the others were waiting for them.

On landing, Yuuki and the others stared confusedly at the group that had just arrived because of two foreign existences.

"Welcome back. I'm calm and relieved that you're all right. But, erm, who are those two? Are they devils?" Yuuki pointed at the two white-haired devils.

"Ah, erm..." Sylvia was at a loss as to how to respond.

"Hum. We are devils." Dylan nodded without hesitation.

"Oh." Yuuki flatly responded as if she didn't care. 

Then, she remembered something. "Ah, about an hour or two ago, there was someone who flew into the mysterious island so fast. He has a red energy aura. Is that you, Mister Devil?"

"That's me indeed." Dylan nodded slightly.

"I see..." Yuuki just shrugged her shoulders.

However, the two girls behind her were tense and a bit nervous. After all, the tragedy caused by the devils in Holy City was still vivid in their memories. And now, two devils came before them, the high-level ones especially!

"First of all, we apologize that we failed to comply with your request, Ely. I would like to inform you that that naughty and unruly girl ran away without our knowledge. And perhaps, she went after you to that mysterious island. Did you meet her? Or maybe, she's still on the island... It's been sunk." Yuuki looked toward the sea with anxiety.

"Yes, Sylvia escaped from this island secretly. She told us that she was going to the sand castle then, but she disappeared so suddenly." Evelyn nodded to confirm. She was worried that something terrible would happen to Sylvia.

"Uuu, looks like Sylvia is still inside that island. What should we do? The mini Sea God has already gone to the island, but a colossal barrier suddenly blocked him from approaching." Ella clasped her hand with a worried heart.

"Yo, the other me. I'm sorry for failing to find that girl named Sylvia. She may have gone inside the island to follow you investigation team." Oceanid's avatar waved his hand from the top of the watchtower.

"Hum." Oceanid only gave a casual nod in response.

"Hmm, we're back. For that matter... Sylvia disobeyed my request and made all of you worried. She even got into big trouble, and her recklessness almost took her life. But, she did not sink along with that island. You don't have to worry." Elysia smiled gently.

"So, that naughty girl is okay? Then, I feel relieved. However, where is that girl now? We should give her a punishment so that she doesn't repeat her bad behaviour. We can tie her up, and there's no lunch or dinner for her." Yuuki heaved a sigh of relief. However, she then clenched her fist as if feeling irritated.

"She's already here, though?" Dylan replied with a bright expression. He wanted to know what his daughter would get in response from them.

"Eh? That wayward girl is already here? But, where is that girl, Mister Devil?" Yuuki looked around. Yet, she couldn't find Sylvia anywhere.

"Ah, I know. She must be hiding somewhere because she's afraid to meet me. Just watch, I'll find you and tie you up and punish you with humility, hum, hum." Yuuki took out a rope from her Space Bag and stretched it in her hands.

"I, I, I-" Sylvia stuttered with some sweat.

"Huh? What do you want to say, Miss Devil?" Yuuki tilted her head slightly.

"That, I, erm..." Sylvia clasped her hands together and glanced left and right while looking for good words to defend herself. However, she was not good at word processing.

"The Sylvia you are looking for is right in front of you." Dylan pointed his finger at his daughter.

"Eh?"

It was not only Yuuki who felt dumbfounded but Ella and Evelyn as well. Theo and Leila also felt a little surprised.

"Sylvia, you, you are actually a devil!?" Yuuki pointed her finger at the devil girl and exclaimed with her eyes wide open. She could now feel Sylvia's aura clearly, but she couldn't tell if this naughty girl was a devil or not.

"I, I am indeed a devil with half dragon blood..." Sylvia gulped her saliva with nervousness. Even so, she straightened her back and saw everyone's expressions.

The cats just looked at her but didn't seem to really care. Gio just approached Elysia as the little tortoise without caring about anything. The Sea God's avatar just drank the coconut on top of the watchtower while looking down.

Only three individuals seemed unable to believe that she was a devil.

"..." Ella and Evelyn were in a dilemma and complex mixed feelings. They had not known Sylvia for long, but they knew this girl was not an evil individual.

Elysia even just took everything casually to be near the devils... However, Evelyn and Ella were still two naive young girls. Their mindset was imprinted with the clarity that all devils were evil, D-evil.

"Are you going to hate me just because I'm from the Devil Race?" Sylvia asked with eloquence. She now had the confidence to speak after seeing everyone's expressions.

All she needed to do was get some clarity from these three girls, and all would be well.

"I..." Ella clasped her hands and pressed them to her upper chest. She didn't know what to say, but she felt pretty scared. So, she had been interacting with a devil for a few days? The terrible devil that was often told?

Similarly, Evelyn also hesitated to answer that question even though she knew it was aimed at her as well. On the other hand, she saw Sylvia as a cheerful and playful girl. But on the other hand, this girl was a devil.

"You're a devil, so what? But, well, You've been disguised all this time as a human? No wonder why you always hide your magic and aura. What do you want to do with all that? I thought you had a very complicated background, but it looks like it was just your pretense." Yuuki folded her arms with a sigh.

"That's not my pretense. That's right, there's a reason behind it all." Sylvia was happy to hear Yuuki's answer. So, this fox girl was not too bad.

Because of that joy and relief, Sylvia approached Yuuki. However, she stopped in her tracks because Ella and Evelyn took a step back as if they were afraid of her. Therefore, she just sighed and returned to Elysia's side.

"Heh-hehe... Why did you go to Ely's side, devil girl? Come here, I'll give you a sweet reward for ignoring and disobeying Ely's orders. You've also made us all worried. Oh, you've caused trouble for divine beings too because you're a disobedient girl, haven't you?" Yuuki walked over with an evil grin.

"AH, um, calm yourself please. You look creepy, and what's with that rope? You don't really want to tie me up and leave me starving for the whole day, do you?" Sylvia put her hands in front and walked backwards.

"Who knows. Just stay there and let me tie you up~" Yuuki quickened her pace, but so did Sylvia.

Whatever Sylvia said next, Yuuki just countered it all as if she didn't care for any reason. Sylvia then ran, but Yuuki immediately gave chase.

A romp then ensued between the devil girl who was hunted by the fox girl for punishment.

"Hou..." Dylan was amused to see his daughter finally fall into the fox girl's hands. He didn't even seem to care when his daughter was tied up by rope and mattress like a chicken roll.

"Aaaah, help me!" Sylvia shouted, but she didn't really put up any significant resistance. She literally only allowed herself to be tied up when she was caught.

"Hehe, now you can't do anything. Stay there and I'll take care of you again after this." Yuuki brushed her palms and chuckled in satisfaction.

"Well, looks like she'll be fine here with you guys. With that being said, it's time for me to go. I hope you keep your promise to bring my daughter back next week." Dylan turned and spoke quietly to Elysia as he walked away.. He placed the responsibility for his daughter on this human girl due to several reasons.
