The next day, the four left town once again for the sake of Theo’s training.

As they sat in a grassy field having lunch, obviously cooked by Theo, the secret came out.

“Eh? Devil!?”

“You Helvi!?”

Helvi revealed she was a devil. Xena and Celia’s eyes were wide open with surprise, but…

“Eh… Devil!? Incredible! Aren’t you going to show something… Devil-like to prove it?”

“I knew you weren’t just a regular person, but to think you’re not even human…”

Both instantly believed it and accepted it.

Devils were known as legendary beings beyond even the Chimera, and humans thought of them as something to be avoided.

The impression that humans had of devils was that they would seduce humans and take their lives.

“I guess knowing that I am a devil will not change anything, correct?”

“Hn… I’ve always thought of devils as scary, but we already got to know you.”

“Yes. In a way, you’re scarier than what I thought devils would be like.”

“What does that mean?”

Helvi certainly acted like a devil towards them when they made fun of her about Theo.

If anything, hearing that Helvi was a devil did a lot to explain her strength and actions.

“So that’s why you’re so strong and immortal. It makes sense if you’re not human.”

“Hey hey, do you have a devil form or something? Like, people say devils have wings and horns and stuff like that.”

“Ah, I see.”

Suddenly jet black horns appeared on her head, and wings of the same color on her back.

“Ohh, amazing! Yes, like that!”

“Beautiful… You’re beautiful anyway, but even with the horns and wings, there’s a mystical quality of sorts about them that makes them not scary.”

“Theo likes this form so much, he wished to keep it for his eyes only.”

“Wai… Helvi…!?”

Helvi nailed the reason why Theo did not want to tell anyone else she was a devil.

“Eh… So you can be possessive too Theo…”

“Fufu, true.”

“I-I didn’t want anyone to know because it’s embarrassing…!”

“I’m sorry Theo, but it makes me happy, so I wanted to brag.”

Helvi skillfully spread her wings and used them to bring Theo closer by the waist.

He was a little surprised, but did not resist.

“Will you forgive me?”

“I-I’m not mad in the first place… It’s just a little embarrassing…”

“Fufu, I see. Good.”

Theo was firmly looking down, but Helvi lifted his head by the chin and gave him a light kiss.

At that moment, she hid herself and Theo with her wings from the eyes of Xena and Celia.

“Hey, come on… Don’t hide with your wings!”

“Can you not start using your wings to hide while you fool around, now that we know you’re a devil?”

Said Xena and Celia, tired by the lovey-dovey atmosphere that developed naturally.

“Yes, I will not use them to hide. Although I told you what I am, the only other person I will tell is Fiore. I will not use them brazenly to hide.”

“It would be better if you didn’t keep flirting in the first place…”

“That is asking for too much, at least for a few hundred years.”

“That’s annoying…”

Theo was used to these light kisses, but not to people watching, so he hid his face behind Helvi’s wing.

After they finished having lunch, Xena spent the afternoon teaching Theo, with Celia and Helvi watching from a distance.

Helvi had a question, and figured this was a good time to ask.

“Celia, is there anywhere in this world you would recommend as a good place for a honeymoon?”

“…Being so blatant about your bragging is both refreshing and annoying.”

With the same tired expression as before, she thought about the question she was asked.

“The royal capital is nearby, and it has good inns and restaurants for nobles. People like us can enter if we can afford it.”

“I see. While it certainly will not match Theo’s cooking, I am interested.”

“You can also go for a swim in the ocean, but it will be crowded at this time of the year.”

“There are more pleasures than I expected. I see, swimming. I would like to see Theo in his swimwear, although I would not allow anyone else to see it.”

“I don’t think you’re going to reserve a whole beach for the two of you…”

“I will have to search for a place where we can be alone.”

The period in which one could go swimming was limited.

Helvi wanted to have fun with Theo, so she would search for a beach near the capital where they could be alone.

“But do you have money?”

“Yes, the reward from defeating the Chimera. Surely even a luxurious trip will not cost half of it.”

She finished by herself a quest that was grave enough to mobilize the country’s army.

When the soldiers’ chief brought the reward, Theo’s legs trembled at the sheer amount of money he received.

“Then you have nothing to wo… No, you do.”

“Hm? What?”

“You’re too beautiful. If you go to the capital, I’m sure some people will be jealous, and you will attract some weird people.”

“That does sound bothersome.”

Xena and Celia also had nice figures, but Helvi surpassed them.

If nobles did bothersome things with them, surely they would try to get involved with Helvi as well.

“You should disguise yourself.”

“I will not. Why should I disguise myself on my honeymoon for the sake of those hindrances?”

She would travel with Theo many more times, but a honeymoon only happened once.

Sneaking around for the sake of not being bothered seemed like putting the cart before the horse.

“If someone does disturb us, I will show them no mercy.”

“…Don’t over-do it.”

“I make no promises.”

Celia regretted mentioning the capital a little.
