"Mm~"
Hypnos stretched and let out a contented sigh.
"Slept so well... It’s been a long ti since I’ve slept so deeply."
Rubbing her drowsy eyes, she opened them to see a handso, almost glowing face.
"You’re awake? It’s already over."
Over? What’s over?
Hypnos blinked in confusion. Suddenly feeling a chill, she quickly wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.
Her cheeks turned slightly red. Drooling in her sleep—how disgraceful.
Mother always taught her to maintain the dignity and poise of a god. How could she have just passed out in front of soone else?
Her mories of fainting before quickly flashed through her mind.
Her face changed instantly. Hypnos braced her arms and scooted backward.
"What did you do to ?! What did you do?! Where’s Mother?!"
She clearly rembered her mother coming to save her. So why, upon waking, was she still seeing Eros’s face?
Where was Mother?
Where was her omnipotent, loving yet stern mother?
"No need to panic. I’m not going to eat you."
Eros looked puzzled by her guarded posture.
All he did was put a sock on Hypnos. Was that really sothing to be afraid of?
Didn’t she say she’d drag him back and make him her servant?
If she got shy over just a sock, how was she going to play any master-and-servant gas?
Was she really just a big talker with little bite?
"Don’t co any closer! I’m warning you, my mother is very powerful!"
Seeing her like this, Eros suddenly got interested and put on a wicked grin.
"Kekekeke, still dreaming your mother will co save you?"
"Stop dreaming. Your mother already gave you to as a hardworking little slave."
"From now on, whenever I’m in a bad mood, I’ll hang you up and spank you like just now."
Eros felt quite talented in this little act of his.
That twisted slave-master persona—he was nailing it.
Hypnos’s face went pale with fear, and she kept repeating under her breath,
"No way, that’s impossible. Mother wouldn’t do that."
"Heh, so you’re saying even your mother couldn’t save you from ?"
In truth, Nyx had left right after chatting with Eros, with no intention of taking Hypnos with her.
And what really left Eros slightly unsettled was that Nyx hadn’t even left him a seal or mark.
She hadn’t followed the usual ritual of stamping approval, and that threw him off a little.
Then again, maybe it was because, as long as it was night, she could watch over Eros anyti she wanted.
That gave him a strange sense of security, but also made him worry about being spied on.
Take Hypnos, for example. Eros decided not to tease her too much for now.
He wasn’t so tasteless pervert starved for female attention. A little goddess like her had to be slowly trained.
Only when she ca to him willingly, despite the sha and reluctance, would it truly be satisfying.
And if that happened, even Nyx wouldn’t be able to accuse him of anything—after all, he never laid a hand on Hypnos first.
So, even though Nyx wasn’t interfering, Eros spun it like she had handed Hypnos over to him.
Then again, it wasn’t entirely Hypnos’s fault for being a bit gullible. Her mind was still that of a child, having spent most of her life asleep.
And Eros had the bonus of persuasive speech-enhancing skills, perfect for misleading people.
A few words were all it took to make Hypnos look defeated, as if the light had vanished from her world.
She didn’t try to resist or escape anymore, as if she had accepted her fate.
This wouldn’t do. Eros frowned at her expression.
A little demon girl who wasn’t spunky and arrogant was just not good enough.
Had he overdone it? Did he break her too quickly?
Maybe it was ti to dial it back a bit.
Eros took a breath and spoke gently.
"Alright, I was just ssing with you earlier. None of that actually happened."
Just one sentence, and Hypnos sprang back to life.
"I knew it! Mother would never do sothing like that!"
Hands on her hips, she looked ready to resu her usual arrogant tone.
"She must’ve given you a good beating and ordered you to serve , didn’t she? That’s what happened, right?"
Eros’s forehead twitched.
Give her a step down, and she leaps right onto your face?
"No, actually, I’m the long-lost child of Goddess Nyx. Technically, I’m your older brother."
Eros said this seriously.
This ti, he was telling the truth. He could rightfully call himself the son of Nyx, and she wouldn’t deny it.
"Ehh?"
Hypnos gave him a skeptical look. She wasn’t going to be tricked twice in a row.
"So what, you want to call you big brother now?"
She stretched the words on purpose, giving him a look full of disdain.
Eros imdiately got excited.
Yes, yes, yes! That tone and look, exactly what a little demon girl should have.
Keep this up, and he’d have all the passion and energy needed to train her properly.
"I’m serious this ti. I can even swear by Nyx’s na. Just watch, see if she denies it."
As he spoke, Eros raised his hand and swore in Nyx’s na, declaring himself her child.
Hypnos’s pupils shook. She hadn’t expected it to actually be true.
This was even worse than being ordered away by her mother.
"No, no, no."
She shook her head furiously.
"You’re human! How could you be my mother’s child?"
"Even if you were, you’re definitely younger than . I should be calling you little brother."
Sure, keep calling him little brother. The more you say it, the closer he is to becoming big brother.
Eros said nothing, but slowly pulled out so suspicious-looking gadgets from behind him.
"W-What are those for?"
Strange little balls, ropes, and colorful socks, Hypnos felt a very ominous vibe.
"These?"
Eros smiled warmly.
"These are my magical little tools I’ll be using shortly."
"Why is it suddenly getting dark in here?"
Hypnos instinctively took two steps back. The light around them was fading.
"Because this is big brother’s magic little house."
His eting with Nyx had indeed yielded sothing useful. The darkness now shrouding them was his reward.
[ Veil of the Night Goddess Nyx ]
[ The night is the veil of Goddess Nyx. No one knows what lies behind it, her true form remains hidden. ]
[ Effect: In the darkness, you can create a space that blocks all divine sight. ]
The range of this skill wasn’t large, just a few dozen square ters, so Eros dubbed it his [Magic Little House].
Perfect for dealing with these well-connected god-kids.
Now then, with his domain activated, in a space no divine eye could reach...
"Ribbit! Mommy, save ee!"
