Although the monster could only be, at worst, a Rank A danger normally, it somehow became a regional threat, which shouldn't have been possible.
'The mountains are covered in snow, even during this period?' Asmodeus thought to himself that the temperature was extremely cold as he stepped towards the wooden cabin he would be sharing with Velvet tonight.
'Tomorrow the hunt will begin, but I hope nothing troublesome happens.'
Velvet, however, was still embarrassed about earlier and sat in the cabin while preparing herself for rest.
She removed her armour and underclothes, replacing them with a thick woollen dress that wrapped around her neck with fur to keep her body warm. "If I didn't listen to that fool, wouldn't I be freezing right now?" Velvet leaned back while sitting on the bed, about to change her underwear and thermal stockings.
'It's quite warm, this soft fur is nice...' Velvet thought to herself while removing her black panties. However, as she lowered them to the ground, the door opened, and someone stepped inside.
"Eh?!"
"Ah!"

Once again, the man who kept making her feel irritated and strange, Asmodeus, stood with the door closing behind him, gazing at her with a perverted glint in his eyes.
'This bastard?! Why did he enter without knocking!'
"Ahem... well, I didn't realise you were changing." His voice seemed strange to Velvet as she froze her hands, holding a fresh pair of dark purple silk panties with her most valuable garden on display to this rogue.
"Then why haven't you turned away?!"
"Because it looks good."
"Idiot! I'll cut it off in your sleep!"
Asmodeus finally removed his gaze and held his crotch while turning away. He didn't do it on purpose, but she knew more about demons than in the past.
'Once they start to desire something, then they will keep pushing until they get it.' Her mind remembered his words while gritting her teeth as the sound of silk sliding across her silky thighs filled the silent room, only the wind tapping on the windows.
"Forget what you saw!" Her voice was short, snappy and deep.
"Impossible!"
"Tsk, damn erotic demon!"
"Ahaha...."
Velvet seemed to be quite angry towards Asmodeus, but there wasn't anywhere else he could sleep, as the other hut shared by the villagers was for the knights.
He turned back to see Velvet already sitting beside the unlit fire. Her legs crossed as she looked away from him with a pout. "Turn the fire on, it's cold." She barked as if it were an order.
"Yeah yeah~ whatever you ask, princess."
With the snap of his finger, Asmodeus lit the fire and several candles in the room before he removed his cold, wet armour from the snow. The sound of a heavy leather tunic dropping to the ground echoed as Velvet turned to look out of curiosity.
'Eh?! Why is his chest exposed... what are those muscles.... so thick and perfect.'
"You called me an erotic demon... Can you stop panting while looking at my perfect body?" Asmodeus showed a wicked grin while lowering his pants, on purpose removing his boxers for the new clothes that he took from his inventory.
"W-what are you doing! We can't share the bed together!" Her voice became louder, and the redness on her face returned as she glared at him.
"What? Why? There's not enough room for another bed in here. Don't worry I won't fuck you without permission."
"Hah?! Who would permit you?! Idiot!"
"Fine, fine... don't be so loud. If you get cold, then come closer to my warmth." Asmodeus seemed to enjoy teasing this adorable maiden as she turned away with a bright red face.
'Is she really worried about something like that? Ah, Velvet you've become so cute, don't make me more curious, otherwise I will eat you even if you don't want me to.'
"D-Don't touch me...!"
"Yeah yeah~ good night."
After the short argument, Velvet fell asleep quickly as the exhaustion hit her. Her soft breathing and gentle heartbeat filled the silent room with the quiet crackle of firewood.
Asmodeus quietly watched her sleeping face, his lips curling into a smile, as his eyes began to grow heavier like fairies were quietly shovelling sand into them.
'Velvet, you've grown so much since we first met.'
"I love you, Velvet... Good night."
'!!!' Velvet's body trembled before finally falling asleep.
"Mmm... last night I dreamt about that fluffy and delicious bread...." Velvet murmured while rubbing her eyes, the sore sensation fading the more she made them squeak.
The sun shone outside, showing it was now morning—a beautiful woman with dark purple hair was lying in the arms of a handsome male with long black hair. The woman buried her face in the man's neck, with countless bite marks on his shoulder.
She slowly woke up. Her beautiful purple eyes, the colour of exquisite velvets, stared at the face of a sleeping Asmodeus, who had his arm wrapped around her back as they cuddled together.
"Ah?! What's happening."
Her memories rushed back, and the events of last night flashed through her mind.
'He said that he loved me!'
Velvet quickly glanced at the marks she left on him as she dreamt last night, and his soft breathing told her he was still sleeping.
'What do I do... his shoulder is covered in my drool and teeth marks?!'
"Just five minutes longer..." Velvet whispered as she closed her eyes. The warmth of the sun on her bare skin and the warmth of Asmodeus on her body made her feel as if she were in heaven. 'It's okay, this is just an accident, right? Let's just wait for him to wake up and apologise.'
While she was thinking to herself, Velvet noticed Asmodeus' face move towards hers. His lips were moving closer to her soft, pink lips, but she didn't react and instead froze like a statue.
The moment their lips connected, Velvet felt like her head was burning, and then the entire world began to shake.
—No, it wasn't an earth-shaking kiss, but the Roar of a wyvern filled the air, flames and ice began to spread as Asmodeus suddenly awoke and jumped out of bed, breaking their warm embrace.
"Prepare for battle, Velvet... that bastard seems to have come to hunt us instead!"
"Eh?"
"It's Lixus! Come, let's slay the fake dragon!"
