The magical girl answered calmly.
"..."
Shami paused for a moment.
"The issue is... I took your bracelet a while ago..."
The magical girl suddenly looked at her left hand, and sure enough, her slender wrist was empty. She had been in a tense state in the cave, so she naturally assumed it was always on her hand!
"Why did you take my bracelet!?"
"Because I was worried there might be some special magical device inside, so I hid it in advance."
The magical girl's mouth twitched, her flushed face letting off steam.
"So you took it directly from me..."
"Ahhhh!"
The calm magical girl let out a groundhog squeal and suddenly covered Shami's mouth, no longer maintaining any composure.
If everything before was bearable, then the act of picking flowers from someone's person was the final straw that broke the magical girl's back.
"It's drinking water! It's drinking water! The leg ring tied on my thigh is also for storage."
The magical girl lied, with nothing around her thigh, her shimmering eyes desperately looking at Shami.
"If you want me to join you, just honestly believe my words! This is the first step to building trust, right?"
Shami removed the magical girl's seemingly strong but actually weak hands.
"Anyway, don't make such a loud noise to bring people outside in. You don't want to be discovered, do you?"
The panicked magical girl quickly shut her mouth.
Both stood up.
The magical girl didn't dare to look directly at Shami's wet pants.
Even though she had immediately used her spiritual power to regain control of her body as soon as she realized something was wrong.
But it was too late.
Now, the magical girl had no idea what to say.
She just wanted to find a place to hide.
"Let's change into some dry clothes first."
Shami glanced at himself, took out the magical girl's very petite and exquisite bracelet from his Demon King Ring, and handed it over.
The magical girl silently put it on.
There were indeed clothes inside, but should she change directly into them... Whether it's the process of changing clothes or facing Lureya and Lina later, her mindset was completely different.
Shami stood in place for a while, his single hand unsure of what it was exploring in front of him.
The magical girl silently looked over.
"Hmm... this should be the right place…"
As Shami spread his fingers, a teleportation gate appeared out of thin air in front of the two.
One side of the teleportation gate was the cave, and the other side was the magical girl's room in the village inn.
The magical girl widened her eyes, looked at the teleportation gate, then at Shami.
The sudden appearance of space magic diverted a lot of the depressed magical girl's attention.
"Is this... a teleportation gate?"
"Yes. It should be your room inside. Go back and rest for a while."
Shami looked at the magical girl.
"Sorry, because of me, your drinking water leaked..."
"Don't shrink my words into one sentence at this time! Do you believe what I said now? But it sounds even weirder now!"
The standing magical girl almost tripped over her own feet, but upon seeing Shami full of sincerity, she closed her lips.
"Because I couldn't see through your abilities, the previous processes were very necessary. I'm sorry for taking up so much time."
Shami slowly walked forward.
The plate-haired blonde was free, didn't count.
The white-haired hero was childhood friends, didn't count.
The magical girl was the first real Demon Envoy he subdued.
"Let's get along well in the future, at least become partners who can trust each other."
Shami extended his hand to the magical girl.
The magical girl just looked at Shami's hand without responding.
"Anything that happened today besides signing the Demon Envoy Contract won't be told to anyone else. The Recording Crystal will also be kept in top secret form. As for maintaining the image of the magical girl, it's the duty of the Demon King!"
The magical girl's cheeks turned slightly red, and only then did she release her folded arms, patting Shami's hand before turning and walking into the teleportation gate, returning to her room.
But in the next moment, the magical girl swiftly returned to the cave, aiming at the wood and the cross, and recited advanced magic, the Red Flame Technique.
"Red Flame Technique, destroy all things before my eyes along with the air!"
A scorching and silent fireball appeared out of thin air, and with precise magic power control, the fireball burned the cross, the wood, and a few water stains, even creating a circular hole.
Thoroughly eliminating all evidence.
Only then did the magical girl feel relieved, covering her wet dress, she crossed past Shami, and returned to her room through the teleportation gate.
"What about you?"
Through the teleportation gate, Saili glanced back, seeing the wet clothes on Shami.
The last visible evidence was only the clothes on Shami.
"Don't worry. I'll handle it well."
Shami guaranteed.
"Although there's that idea too. But more importantly, if possible, return it to me now. It's not impossible for it to be secretly stashed away for personal use..."
The magical girl blushed.
No matter how you think about it, that thing definitely had to be reclaimed.
"Don't worry. I took the white knee socks worn by Lureya, and I haven't used them yet, they're well preserved. I'll also preserve this one intact."
The magical girl paused, curiosity inexplicably piqued.
"Wait, why did you take the elf's over-the-knee socks, is this some weird corporate culture... Don't preserve such things intact..."
Before finishing her words, Shami had already closed the teleportation gate.
The cave fell silent again.
"Shh."
With a big sigh of relief, Shami looked at his clothes, the hem of his shirt was soaked, and his pants were quite wet.
Going out like this would definitely not work.
Finding a slightly darker place, Shami took out a set of new clothes from the Demon King Ring and changed.
At the same time, he wiped clean the slight water stains on his abdomen and thighs.
As for the clothes that had been soaked, Shami held them, scrutinizing them for a moment.
If thrown away, there's clearly no suitable place here.
Besides, he promised someone to preserve it well.
Without deliberately bringing it to his nose to smell, Shami could still catch a faint scent.
Unable to describe it, it was quite fragrant, somewhat overturning his perception.
Are magical girls of the Magic Style all this strong?
He thought of the Elf Race's plate-haired blonde.
Perhaps only this guy could beat the magical girl in this aspect.
He stored the clothes in the ring.
Shami sensed the Recording Crystal he had just retrieved.
Everything that needed to be recorded, was recorded.
"..."
Even because he hadn't paid attention, things that shouldn't have been recorded were also captured.
Captured some extraordinary footage on the Recording Crystal…
Shami stored the Recording Crystal at the deepest part of the ring, marked as the most dangerous level.
At this moment, Shami recalled the moment when he shook hands with Saili earlier, detecting a bit of information.
[Name: Saili Poror]
[Favorability: 30]
[Loyalty: 30]
Though he could predict that after what happened earlier, the magical girl's favorability wouldn't be very high, a favorability of 30 still exceeded Shami's expectations.
In the Demon Envoy related information, only loyalty is divided, no division for favorability was given.
But following loyalty divisions for reasonable assumptions, a favorability of 30 is similar to the favorability between friends.
That's not bad.
It can be slowly increased later.
What shocked Shami the most was that the magical girl's loyalty turned out to be 30.
Knowing that the initial loyalty of the plate-haired blonde was only 5, yet the magical girl was 6 times more.
The favorability was similar, with the plate-haired blonde initially having only 10 in favorability.
The more Shami thought about it, the more annoyed he felt.
Plate-haired blonde, you are completely showing signs of having ulterior motives!
Shami realized he hadn't checked the favorability and loyalty of the plate-haired blonde and white-haired hero for a long time.
After nearly three months of interaction, it's time to see how the two perceive him.
Additionally, it's also time to go out and tell them about related developments.
With a mindset of interrogating the plate-haired blonde, Shami confidently strode out of the cave.
