The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

Although Chloe chose to hide Stella, it was probably because she had a feeling that Stella shouldn't meet Lulum like that... after all, she believed in metaphysics.

That's why she did it subconsciously.

But it must be admitted that she did a series of confusing things.

However, since things had already come to this point, she couldn't just confront them directly; she could only try to get by by feigning innocence for now...

"Ah... Lulum, I'm not feeling unwell at all. And you said you were cooking yourself? Yay!... But I need to change my clothes first. Lulum, could you wait for me outside for a bit?"

Chloe turned to look at Lulum and spoke to her in as normal a tone as possible.

Because Chloe had been gently patting Stella's back to soothe her, Stella has stopped trembling.

That way, Lulum won't have to worry about her health anymore... probably.

However, Chloe's excuse wasn't good, because...

"Change your clothes? But you usually change clothes with me, why are you suddenly making me wait outside? Let me help you change..."

After saying that, Lulum reached out and tried to pull back Chloe's blanket.

"No, no!" There's someone else under Chloe's blanket, so we can't let Lulum just pull it off like that.

So Chloe shouted in a slightly exaggerated tone.

Seeing Chloe's excitement, Lulum withdrew her hand, then put on a mysterious smile and said to Chloe:

"Oh... It seems you've finally grown up, Chloe, and know what shyness is now? From now on, you'll have to take a bath by yourself..."

"That won't work either!" Chloe's tone became even more agitated.

This is one of her essential "perk moments" every day, how can it just disappear like this!

Furthermore, Chloe noticed something amiss in Lulum's tone and way of addressing her...

Speaking of that nickname... good heavens, it's Blacklum! No wonder it started flirting with me.

Chloe thought to herself, but what Hilmu said next completely unsettled her.

"Alright, alright, Chloe, you probably guessed that I'm your dear Helum's mother, right? The other me was too embarrassed to ask you because of your feelings... but it's different for me. Miss Chloe, what are you hiding under your blanket? Let me see!"

Well, it's completely out of the question now... Did I realize I was too obvious when I was shaking earlier and that's why I was discovered?

Forgetting her current body size, Chloe realized that she was actually incapable of hiding someone under a blanket, and thought to herself with a bit of a lack of self-awareness.

What should she do now? If she had known Lulum would discover her suspicions, she shouldn't have let Stella hide in the first place... Although hiding Stella was a terrible move from the start...

If Stella, whom she was holding, had clothes on, she could have let Stella out without any problem... but given the current situation...

If Stella just came out like that... Chloe felt like she'd really been caught cheating on her boyfriend...

"Lulu, can you let me explain first?"

Chloe was determined to make a final effort, at least to let Lulum understand the current situation so as not to cause chaos.

However, Chloe is now facing Helm.

As a personality that compensates for Lulum's character flaws, she naturally wouldn't be as indecisive as Lulum.

Even Chloe's current embarrassed expression only fueled her wicked sense of humor.

She just wanted to see Chloe's expression; that shy look was irresistible to her.

What? You're telling me Chloe isn't shy? ...If she's not shy, why is she hiding anything from us?

Indeed, she even mistook Chloe's complicated expression of struggle, regret, and distress for simple shyness.

And because Chloe was pointed out to be hiding something, and was being secretive and hesitant, Chloe became even more curious about what exactly was hidden under Chloe's blanket.

What could possibly make Chloe so shy?

It's impossible that someone is hiding there, right? While that's unlikely, even if someone were hiding, it wouldn't be that serious...

That's exactly what Halum was thinking, so she had no intention of listening to Chloe's "explanation" and directly pulled off the blanket covering Chloe.

Chloe was startled when Blacklum suddenly pulled back the covers. Then, feeling a bit like crying, she thought, "Why is everyone in such a hurry? It won't take much time for me to explain."

"Huh? When did she put on clothes?"

Then she noticed that Stella, whom she was holding, had somehow put on a black dress.

Seeing that Stella wasn't completely naked, Chloe breathed a sigh of relief; this made it easier for her to explain...

However, when Blacklum saw Stella curled up in Chloe's arms, he showed an expression of disbelief.

“Stella?!” Blacklum pointed at the black-haired loli in Chloe’s arms and murmured in a trembling voice.

Does Lulum know this child? Chloe completely relaxed after hearing Lulum call the black-haired loli's name correctly.

"So, Lulum, you know this child? That makes things much easier to explain..."

Chloe said this because, since she was still lying down, she didn't immediately notice Lulum's unusual condition...

Stella and Lulum spoke at the same time: "Daddy, who is this sister?" / "Mommy, is that you?"

"Huh???" x2

The two questioning sounds came from Lulum and Chloe.

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Shortening One's Lifespan!

No, what does Lulum call this child?

Chloe was stunned.

Looking at Lulum, who was staring at her with a completely bewildered expression, Chloe was certain that she hadn't misheard.

Lulum's sudden "recognition of kinship" shocked Chloe for an entire year.

She had assumed that Lulum simply knew Stella, and that would allow her to explain the current situation.

After all, Lulum knows this child... and besides, the child was dressed at some point, so it shouldn't be hard to explain why Stella was in her bed.

If possible, Chloe also wanted Lulum to tell her about the child's true identity.

After all, she was called "Dad" by a girl who looked a little older than her... It felt really great... cough cough, it felt really strange.

However, Chloe did not expect that before she could ask Lulum about Stella's identity, Lulum had already "introduced" Stella's identity to her.

However, Lulum did indeed introduce Stella's identity to Chloe in a very simple and easy-to-understand way, which left a deep impression on Chloe.

But... what the heck is "Mom"?!

Stella calling her "Dad" was already quite inexplicable, but Lulum calling her "Mom" completely stunned Chloe.

Isn't this relationship completely messed up?!

Does a mother's mother call her daughter?

Is this the set of some Korean family drama? How can such a thing happen?

That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous!

……

Originally, when Helm lifted the covers and saw someone curled up in Chloe's arms, she was somewhat surprised... She didn't expect Chloe to have pulled a "hidden lover" trick.

But as a cheerful person who looks forward to her child growing up quickly... well, I mean, a good mother, Halum was still very pleased.

Combining this with what she saw of Ilesia when she first returned...

Goodness, Chloe has already learned to hug two girls at such a young age... Although she doesn't seem to have succeeded, this child's future is truly immeasurable!

Just as Helm was thinking this and preparing to continue teasing Chloe in this direction, she suddenly saw the face of the black-haired loli in Chloe's blanket.

Although Stella was curled up in Chloe's arms and could only see part of her face, Black Rum was still successfully frightened back into Rum's personality.

There was no mistake; she was all too familiar with this profile… Lulum immediately recognized it upon seeing it.

This is the face of her mother, the previous Demon Queen Stella.

So, she really was in the academy?

But why was she in Chloe's bed?

However, after careful observation, Lulu noticed that this "Stella" was slightly different from the one she remembered.

The first thing Lulum noticed about Stella was that she was different from what she remembered: Stella's size.

Stella used to be about the same height as her... Although both were short and lacked authority, how did her height shrink?

He only looks slightly taller than Chloe.

Then Lulum noticed that Stella's demeanor was much more childlike than she had imagined... At least Lulum had never seen Stella curled up in bed like a child, like she was now.

Finally, for some reason, Lulum couldn't sense a trace of Stella's presence from her.

Based on these few things that she immediately noticed were a bit off, Lulum wasn't entirely sure if this person was the "Stella's mother" she knew.

That's why she first tentatively asked Stella, who was in Chloe's arms, "Mom, is that you?"

But to Lulu's surprise, just as she asked Stella this question, Stella also looked up and called out to Chloe in a trembling voice... "Hmm?"

What did Stella call Chloe just now?

As a god-level mental mage, she couldn't possibly have misheard...

So when Lulum looked at the face in front of her that was exactly the same as the one she remembered, she felt like she was about to crack open.

……

Come to think of it, she had lived with Lulum for a whole year and had never heard Lulum mention that she had any other family members... If Stella, who was lying in her arms now, really was Lulum's "mother", wouldn't this be considered a long-awaited reunion?

Judging from Lulum's stunned expression, she's probably quite happy... what a load of rubbish!

Lulum's face turned blue; she must have been terrified.

Try to put yourself in her shoes. If one day, your mother pestered you to call her "Dad" or "Mom" in front of you... Even Chloe, an open-minded transmigrator, would find that incredibly weird, let alone what Lulum would think... Looking at Lulum's pale face, Chloe could probably tell just how upset Lulum was.

Incidentally, Lulum's face really did turn blue, or rather, it was glowing blue.

The magical fluctuations emanating from that blue light were familiar to Chloe... It was a status spell called [Forced Calm]... Hmm, a god-level spell. Lulum had cast more than one [Forced Calm] spell on herself.

It's easy to imagine how volatile Lulum's emotions are right now.

But after thinking about it carefully, Chloe also noticed something was amiss.

"If Stella really is Lulum's 'mother,' then what reason would she have to call me 'father'?"

Chloe looked into Stella's innocent, large eyes, and at her panicked, confused expression... she didn't seem to be playing with her and Lulum at all...

And most importantly, if Stella really is Lulum's "mother", then why does she behave so much like a child?

And why does she act like she doesn't recognize Lulum? Not only does she not recognize her, but she also seems a little afraid of Lulum?

You can't exactly say it's amnesia, can you? What a joke! Wouldn't that just be another case of a terminal illness?

Is this not the set of a melodramatic family drama next door?

In short, Chloe, still somewhat confused about the situation and unable to sort out the relationships, simply gave up trying to figure it out.

Thinking about all this is useless... It's better to just ask the person involved.

First, let's answer some of Stella's questions... Looking at Stella, who was trembling slightly as if she were a frightened kitten, Chloe said to her:

“Stella, her name is Lulum, she’s mine…”

"Is it Mom?" Stella asked Chloe before Chloe could finish speaking.

Lulum, who was listening nearby, turned pale instantly.

Chapter 100 This can change too?

Upon hearing Stella call out "Mom," Lulum felt as if she were about to experience a complete mitosis.

Although she wasn't entirely sure whether the person in front of her was actually her "Stella Mom".

But if someone looks just like your mother, speaks like your mother, and even has the same name as your mother... can you honestly say you can completely tell her apart from your mother?

Clearly, Lulum couldn't do it, so her [Forced Calm] spell backfired.

As a mental-type mage, Lulum was backfired by the mental-type status magic she cast on herself, which shows just how much of a shock she suffered.

It truly "shocked my mom"! ...In every sense of the word.
