That Time I Got Turn Tea

“I think you should focus on your unique skill, Sixth Sense, instead,” Lilith said, her voice calm as ever. “That way, even if you keep wearing the blindfold, it won’t affect your vision and reaction ti as much.”

Scarlett’s lips twitched. "She sure changed her words fast…" she thought, but she didn’t say it out loud.

She stood in the middle of the quiet forest, the tall trees surrounding her like watchful giants. Following Lilith’s instructions, she began her next task—using her Sixth Sense to feel every bird’s wings fluttering, every rustle of grass, every movent of life around her. At the sa ti, she had to dodge Lilith’s attacks.

Of course, with her blindfold on, her godlike vision was sealed. Sixth Sense allowed her to “see,” but it wasn’t perfect. Her reaction ti was slower, her range of perception smaller. She had to push herself harder than usual.

BAM!

A rock smashed against her head, fast as lightning. Scarlett didn’t even flinch—her body was too tough to be hurt—but her pride took the hit.

“So fast…” she muttered, jumping back quickly. She shut out her distractions and focused. Slowly, her Sixth Sense sharpened. Even without her eyes, her mind painted a picture of the forest, like she was watching it from above.

She could faintly see a black shadow flickering everywhere, darting like a phantom. It was Lilith, moving at inhuman speed.

A confident smile curved Scarlett’s lips. She stretched her arm and pointed. “So there you are!”

But before she could celebrate—WHACK! Another rock struck the back of her head.

“It was just my afterimage,” Lilith’s calm voice ca from behind.

Scarlett’s jaw tightened. “Fuck!” she cursed under her breath, feeling her irritation boil.

They continued like this for hours, Scarlett dodging, failing, then trying again. Every mistake only pushed her to focus harder. Her Sixth Sense grew sharper with each attempt.

Finally, Lilith stopped, her figure appearing a few steps away. “That’s enough for now,” she said. “Since you’re heading to the human realm tomorrow, we’ll continue the day after.”

And with that, Lilith’s presence vanished like smoke in the wind, leaving Scarlett standing in the forest.

Later that evening, Scarlett finally returned to DreadHaven. The sky had turned a deep orange, fading into night, and the grounds were lively. Children ran around laughing, chasing a horse that had two white wings and a single horn on its forehead—it was a young unicorn, not fully grown but already majestic in its own way. Scarlett paused for a mont, a soft smile appearing on her lips at the innocent, playful sight, but she didn’t go closer. She had other matters to attend to first.

Her first thought was about Yumi. She called for her and asked if she wanted to join the party tomorrow, but Yumi shook her head quickly, muttering that she had more important tasks to finish. Scarlett nodded, understanding, and returned to her room as night fully descended.

She sat quietly, focusing deeply on improving her unique skill, Sixth Sense. The forested outskirts had been good for training, but here in her room, she could concentrate fully. Her mind was calm, every sense alert.

Then, almost instantly, she sensed soone approaching the door.

"Lunatic!" Scarlett thought, narrowing her focus. As expected, the door swung open without a knock—Lunatic had never been one for formalities. Tonight, she wore a revealing maid costu, the kind that left little to the imagination. Her blue eyes sparkled mischievously as she stepped in, carrying a tray with a steaming tea cup.

Scarlett’s face flushed slightly. “Why are you wearing… that?” she asked, trying to sound stern but failing a little.

Lunatic grinned, tilting her head, eyes glinting. “You like cosplay, right? Maid, nurse, bunny costus… so I thought, why not have so cosplay fun tonight?”

Scarlett’s mind raced. "How do you know— Wait… no. Not now. I have other work to do." She swallowed her words and tried to change the subject, though a faint blush betrayed her embarrassnt.

Lunatic chuckled softly and approached her, placing the tray carefully in front of Scarlett. “Here, my master~ I made tea for you!”

Scarlett raised an eyebrow, surprised. “You can make tea?”

“Fufufu… Only tea? I know at least a hundred dishes!” Lunatic nodded proudly, as if her confidence alone could prove it. She handed the cup to Scarlett.

Skeptical, Scarlett took it and hesitated for a mont, half-expecting it to taste ordinary. But the mont the warm liquid touched her lips, her eyes behind the blindfold widened. It wasn’t just good—it was unreal, like drinking a divine nectar, sothing no ordinary human or star-class chef could make. Even her mother’s tea, which had always been perfect, couldn’t compare.

"No way… this is better than my mother's handmade tea!" Scarlett thought, astonished. She took another sip, and another, savoring the flavors, feeling a strange warmth spread through her body. She looked at Lunatic, truly impressed.

“This… this is amazing,” Scarlett said, her voice soft with awe. “Did you use the unicorn’s milk? That’s why it tastes so incredible?”

Lunatic shook her head, a mischievous smirk on her face.

“So it’s just your cooking skill? What’s the secret ingredient?” Scarlett asked again, curiosity shining through.

Lunatic leaned forward, hand resting on her cheek, eyes sparkling with pride. “Well… the milk is the secret ingredient. But not unicorn milk…” She paused dramatically. “…It’s actually my breast milk!”

Scarlett choked, sputtering and spilling a little from her mouth. Her cheeks burned red, a mix of shock and embarrassnt.

“B-breast milk? How…? Isn’t that only cos out when won are pregnant?” she stamred, flustered.

“Us succubi can produce breast milk from a young age. No need to be pregnant,” Lunatic said proudly, completely unashad. “It’s full of nutrients and tastes better than anything you can imagine!”

Scarlett groaned, grabbing her head with both hands. “Stop! Stop saying such embarrassing things so shalessly!
