Volume 1, Chapter 19 – The Effect of the Passive Skill: Cuteness

“Eh, but… but…”

Suddenly told all this, Tianyin couldn’t quite grasp everything, but she did understand one thing that she was about to be sent away from the beginner village.

“Could you wait a moment?”

She made that request.

After all, she and Xingyu Muxi had just been about to enter the dungeon when this happened. To be honest, neither Tianyin nor Muxi had expected such a situation.

If Tianyin couldn’t enter the dungeon, Muxi could just exit immediately. But for Tianyin to suddenly vanish after entering, no matter how fast Muxi quit the dungeon, she wouldn’t be able to find her. Realizing this, Tianyin couldn’t help but start worrying.

They had just promised each other to go together, and yet she had suddenly disappeared without a trace…

“Huh? Wait for what? You might be my kind, and you might even be really cute, but that’s no reason for you to make demands!”

“You do realize the Starting Area is classified as a restricted zone by the higher-ups, right? We can’t just go in there whenever we please!”

“And this time, I secretly pulled you out. Next time, it won’t be so easy!”

The girl named Weilan puffed up her cheeks, clearly annoyed.

“Alright, anything else you want to say? If not, I’m sending you straight to the nearest main city!”

“Even if that’s the case… can’t I at least go back for a bit? Sister Xiaomu must be worried sick after I suddenly disappeared. I just want to go back and tell her something…”

“Sister Xiaomu?”

Weilan’s expression turned strange.

“Hey, hey, that Sister Xiaomu of yours isn’t one of those outsiders, is she?”

“Mm…”

Tianyin nodded slightly. But from Weilan’s tone, it was obvious she didn’t have a good opinion of outsiders.

“If she’s an outsider, then why even bother talking to her? Don’t you know what Lady Goddess said? Those outsiders are all wolves in sheep’s clothing! You can’t carelessly interact with them!”

At those words, Tianyin’s little face stiffened.

Because, truth be told, before becoming an NPC loli, before dying, she herself had been one of those so-called outsiders…

“Well, anyway, you should just give up on that idea. The Starting Area isn’t a place we’re supposed to go into. You entering it was likely a complete accident, so I won’t hold it against you this time… but next time, no, there absolutely won’t be a next time!”

“So just be a good girl and let me send you off!”

“Can’t you… can’t you just make an exception?”

Even though Tianyin and Xingyu Muxi hadn’t known each other long, she had already come to hold the girl in a special place within her heart…

“Uu… I just want to say a few words to Sister Xiaomu… uu…”

Not knowing what else to do, Tianyin instinctively let out a small, whimpering sound like a frightened animal.

Her delicate little face showed such a timid, pitiful expression that it made anyone looking at her feel an overwhelming urge to protect her.

In that instant, beneath her silvery-white hair, that face, so beautiful it seemed unreal, displayed a level of cuteness with destructive power equal to a nuclear blast…

“Uuu…”

Even though Weilan was also an NPC girl about the same height as Tianyin, she simply couldn’t resist this kind of attack.

“Eh… even if… even if you act like that… I still…”

“I just want to say a few words to Sister Xiaomu… please, Sister Weilan…”

Realizing her act was having an effect, Tianyin betrayed her inner resolve as a boy who had sworn never to rely on cuteness, and continued to act pitiful.

“Sigh… geez… I really can’t say no to you, can I… Since you called me sister, I guess… it’s not entirely impossible…”

In the end, Weilan couldn’t withstand Tianyin’s cuteness.

“But only for half an hour! After thirty minutes, I’ll immediately teleport you to the nearest main city, understood?”

“Mm-mm! Got it!”

Tianyin hadn’t expected her to actually agree, so she nodded eagerly, her eyes bright with relief.

“Good. Oh, and don’t tell anyone about this, okay? If word gets out, it’ll cause a lot of trouble~”

“Mm-mm.”

“Alright then, I’ll send you back for now. But remember, after thirty minutes, no matter where you are in the Starting Area, the forced teleportation will activate. So don’t get any funny ideas~”

Saying that, the girl waved her hand, and a radiant light enveloped Tianyin. In the next second, an indescribable sense of weightlessness washed over her.
