Volume 4, Chapter 26 – She’s Seriously a Total Scumbag!

“Let go of that girl!”

Heloise shouted angrily at Anran.

“…”

Anran was instantly stunned.

Crap.

She had not even finished whispering things to Aila yet.

They had been delayed a little in between, and with Heloise’s long legs carrying her so fast, the situation had turned unexpectedly complicated.

“You actually dare harass a little girl in the women’s restroom!” Heloise’s chest heaved as she spoke. “Do you not know what death—”

The moment the word “death” left her mouth,

Heloise stopped herself at once.

No. Even though those dark memories had made her blood surge in reverse, this was not the place for her to blow things up. She was still carrying the heavy responsibility of the Resistance.

“You are utterly shameless!”

Heloise changed her words abruptly.

Anran was dumbfounded.

“…”

For a moment, she had nothing to say.

That was one hell of a sharp turn.

Are you sure that was something Heloise would actually say?

You are utterly shameless.

And then her chest rose and fell, waves surging.

No matter how you looked at it, it felt like they had suddenly wandered into some harem slice-of-life anime.

“You’re not allowed to bully big brother!”

Aila stepped forward at that moment and barked fiercely at Heloise.

“…”

Heloise took a deep breath. “Little girl, is this scumbag bullying you?”

Oh, great. I’ve been upgraded to scumbag now.

Anran wanted to roll her eyes.

But the important thing now was to hurry up and slip away while Heloise was “having an episode.”

“Big brother isn’t bullying me at all. You’re the one bullying us!” Aila said.

“…”

“Did this scumbag threaten you? Tell big sister. Big sister will take care of it for you.”

Aila shook her head. “No. I agreed to it!”

Y-you agreed to it?

Heloise’s expression changed violently.

She could not stop herself from taking a step back.

Why would anyone agree to something like that?

The vast training camp, the cramped and gloomy living quarters, the men with crazed smiles on their faces, and the painful crying and lewd laughter drifting from the room next door.

The images surged up all at once.

Along with them came fear she had nearly managed to forget.

It was like layer upon layer of insects closing in from all sides, so dense and countless they were enough to drive a person to the brink of collapse.

“Big sister, are you okay?” Aila asked in confusion.

“…”

Heloise’s fists slowly tightened.

Rеаd оո KαtReαԁіngСafе

She looked as though she was on the verge of exploding.

And just then, a richly dressed woman suddenly walked up behind her.

She was checking herself in a small mirror as she walked.

The moment she looked up, she saw Anran.

She was visibly stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped back out to check the sign. Women’s restroom.

“Ah! There’s a pervert in here!”

That scream snapped Heloise back to her senses too.

She recovered quickly.

Anran could not care less about any of that. She grabbed Aila and ran.

Heloise did not stop them.

Looks like she has a past too, Anran thought. But who didn’t? Her own story was even weirder.

So Anran had no interest in digging deeper.

She only knew that Heloise had gotten in her way, and wanted to kill her. If the chance came, Anran absolutely would not show mercy.

“Anran, Anran, that big sister named Heloise is very dangerous!”

Aila said this while running.

“She is very dangerous,” Anran agreed at once.

“Based on my analysis, my current chance of defeating her is less than ten percent.”

Aila said weakly, sounding a little dejected.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. If Aila eats more, you’ll be able to beat her eventually.” Anran patted Aila on the head.

By now they had already come up from the other side of the fourth floor.

But if they wanted to head for the reception room, that would not work anymore. Someone was watching the route.

“What a pain.”

Anran took out her spider robot.

After she had dabbed some paint onto it, the spider robot’s camouflage effect was excellent.

Then Anran took a compact computer out of Aila’s rabbit backpack.

Come to think of it, she had already spent nearly 20,000 Bilu over the past few days.

Money came fast, and went fast too.

The spider robot moved forward all the way, quickly scuttling to the corner. But just as it was about to keep going, the red dot displayed on the screen suddenly vanished.

“Signal interference!”

Anran’s expression changed.

She could no longer receive the signal from the spider robot.

Lorion really was cautious.

She watched as, after losing contact, the spider robot activated its built-in routine and ran back the way it had come.

Still, it was not as if there were no solution at all.

After all, when other people wanted to jam signals, they needed equipment. They needed electricity.

As for Anran, she herself was a humanoid mobile jammer.

She just had to jam the signal jammer.

The reception had not started yet, so Lorion probably was not here. Then she would come back later.

First, she needed to set all the goodies in the backpack into place.

Anran had no intention of blowing up the entire hotel.

In fact, with only the little bit Aila had brought in, that would not have been possible anyway.

As long as she could create enough chaos, that was enough.

A toned-down version of a High-Energy Explosive. Use fire to set off a long blazing trail and put on a wonderful after-dinner show.

“Anran, Anran, didn’t you say you’d let me eat something?”

While Anran was wandering around idly, Aila asked.

“Emmm… wait a second.”

So Anran came back with a plate of food, along with some knives and forks.

“Hurry up and eat. Don’t let anyone else see.”

“Mhm.”

Aila speared a piece of food with a fork.

In fact, Aila could eat normal food and digest it too. It just could not provide useful energy.

A beautiful girl like Aila does not need to use the toilet!!!

Aila put the food into her mouth, then with one light bite, she began chewing not only the food but also the front part of the fork along with it.

When she took it out, only a short stub of the fork was left.

No one noticed anything strange. Using this method, Aila quickly ate several pieces of cutlery.

“…”

It still felt pretty bizarre.

Even though Anran was already used to Aila eating metal.

“Whose child is that? She looks so cute.”

“What a loving brother and sister. It’s enviable, really. My two kids roughhouse on the bed every day. So annoying.”

“Come on, let’s go somewhere else.”

Seeing that more and more people were looking over, Anran immediately took Aila elsewhere.

And less than a minute after they left,

a young woman in a simple dress walked over. As she walked, she looked around everywhere, while muttering a string of strange words under her breath like “reception play,” “human feast,” “the thrill of taboo and depravity,” and “the suppressed sounds inside a restroom stall.”

“Ah, I really do need to hurry up and write something again soon. Otherwise I won’t even have money to pay my energy bills. And if I run out of energy, I won’t be able to get into the game, and then I won’t be able to go look for Anran.”

The one speaking was Li Zhuying.

Dressed in a formal gown, she showed off an unusual kind of beauty. On top of her usual neat and delicate prettiness, there was now an extra touch of adult allure.

The fullness of her chest even looked like it had reached a C-cup.

At the moment, the Nine Songs higher-up leading the team was in talks with Lorion, so Li Zhuying was just wandering around the hall with nothing to do.

And also seeing if she could gather some material.

As a somewhat well-known erotic web novelist online,

Li Zhuying was actually quite dedicated when it came to work.

It was just that lately she had become obsessed with the game. Ever since joining Nine Songs, she had not published anything new for a long time, and the readers following her had been cursing her out nonstop.

Some people had even tipped her a whole bunch of panties without managing to lure her back.

But now she had no choice but to consider making a return.

Chasing after Anran was important, but survival was important too.

Beep beep…

Li Zhuying received a message.

She looked and saw it had been sent by the team leader.

The talks were over. They were to meet outside the banquet hall in a bit.

After quickly eating a little more, Li Zhuying started heading out.

As she walked, when she reached a corner, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure.

Rabbit backpack, short height, cute face.

Huh, no matter how she looked at it, that seemed to be Anran’s little sister, An Aila.

Then who was that boy beside Aila feeding her things?

Reаd οո КatReαⅾiոgСafе

Could it be Anran in disguise?

Li Zhuying walked over with a face full of curiosity.

“Try this too?”

Anran popped a spoon into Aila’s mouth.

Without realizing it, they had already eaten quite a lot of the banquet hall’s cutlery.

The more Aila ate, the less painful it felt to Anran to be spending money.

So Anran was desperately trying to make Aila eat, eat, eat.

It was not like she would gain weight anyway.

Other people ate the food, Aila ate the cutlery. Either way, it was all eating, so no problem.

Spend Lorion’s money and grind Aila’s favorability.

“Ding! Aila’s favorability +1.”

Heh heh…

Anran looked up, and her face instantly froze.

This girl walking over, with at least seven points of charm, was Li Zhuying. What the hell.

Just look at the smile on her face.

Those slightly parted cherry-colored lips.

That faint glimpse of cleavage.

Fuck.

Behind Li Zhuying, Heloise flashed past, her expression stern as she scanned the area.

“Aila, An—”

God damn it, are you trying to get me killed?

Anran panicked.

There was no other way. She could only shut Li Zhuying’s mouth.

Anran strode over and clapped a hand over Li Zhuying’s mouth.

Because of the height difference, lifting her hand up like that felt pretty awkward.

“FMLh—”

“What are you doing?” Li Zhuying broke free at once.

And Heloise’s attention was drawn by the commotion over here too.

“Aila, you—”

God damn it, you’re still talking!

As Heloise’s gaze swept over them, Anran’s heart sank.

She could not care about Li Zhuying’s strange look anymore. She pressed a hand onto Li Zhuying’s shoulder, brought favorability up to 60, and directly pressed her lips against hers.

“Hiss!”

Li Zhuying’s body instantly went rigid.

Then she started struggling.

How could this be? This was her first kiss. She had not given it to Anran, and yet it had been stolen by an NPC.

Heloise froze.

She recognized Anran. Wasn’t this the person she had seen in the restroom?

And that little girl was right there too.

First harassing a little girl in the restroom, and now forcibly kissing another woman right in front of that little girl.

“…”

This scumbag!

Rеаⅾ οո ΚаtRеαԁіngСаfе

Scumbag!

Scumbag!

Anran had no idea what Heloise was thinking. She was panicking like hell. After pinning the struggling Li Zhuying against the wall, she immediately let go, covered Li Zhuying’s mouth with one hand, and brought her lips close to Li Zhuying’s ear.

In a low voice, she said, “It’s me.”

She used her real voice.

Li Zhuying froze at once.

So the person who had force-kissed her was actually Anran in disguise?

“Panties.”

The moment Anran said those two words, Li Zhuying understood instantly.

So it really was Anran.

Anran had force-kissed her.

She had no idea why, but Li Zhuying became excited.

Then Heloise, who had just seen Anran “licking Li Zhuying’s ear,”

turned back only to see Li Zhuying kissing her back and hugging Anran tightly without letting go.

“…”

“…”

“…”

Holy shit, shit, shit, shit…

Anran really wanted to throw Li Zhuying away in one motion, but she could not do that right now. Heloise had not left yet.

So Anran could only pretend to be pushed back by Li Zhuying, switching positions so that she herself ended up pressed against the wall.

“Huh? What are they doing over there?”

“That’s indecent, absolutely indecent!”

“Young people these days…”

Only after she saw Heloise leave with a dark, cold expression did Anran finally shove Li Zhuying away at once.

Good grief, Li Zhuying had gone practically insane, constantly trying to pry open her lips and stick her tongue inside.

Thankfully, Anran had cleverly… gone along with it.

She was not the one losing out anyway.

Tsk, tsk…

But the problem was, seeing Li Zhuying’s body all excited, practically steaming,

gave her a bad feeling about the future.

“Ding! Anran’s favorability -40.”

Li Zhuying suddenly froze.

Favorability -40!

She hurriedly opened her status panel.

Her favorability with Anran was now 20 points.

Which meant it had been 60 before!

No wonder she had been able to do all those embarrassing things with Anran.

But now it was only 20.

Li Zhuying was about to lose her mind!

Was it because she had gone too far and frightened Anran? Li Zhuying regretted it so much she could have coughed up blood.

“You pervert, you’re not allowed to touch my big brother!”

Aila angrily stepped between Li Zhuying and Anran.
