Eh?
Best…besties?!
Hearing this somewhat abstract self-reference, Keti’s mouth twitched involuntarily…
Ah, although Keti was definitely willing to admit that she was friends with Layla and Sylvia—even if she had left the team now, she didn’t want to deny everything from the past.
But still…besties?
Isn’t that a bit too weird?!
No matter how Keti heard it, it just didn’t feel right…
Hmm, only a friendship like the one between Alice, Layla, and Sylvia could be called “besties,” right?
But for her, a single…uh…girl…
Eh?
Wait, maybe there’s no problem.
She did become a girl after all, so maybe…
No, no, no.
After a moment, Keti gave up on obsessing over this title.
The main point was that on Layla and Sylvia’s side, she wasn’t really “Keti” anymore—she was some cheating cat trying to seduce Keti…
So…what on earth are these two plotting?
Why, even after realizing that her “date” wasn’t the Keti they imagined, did they not leave?
Instead, they started fabricating interpersonal relationships and introducing themselves…
Help…
Originally, being hugged around the waist by her enemy in front of Layla and Sylvia was already enough to embarrass Keti, especially when the two girls kept scrutinizing her figure back and forth.
The silver-haired beauty couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
Keti had thought that once Layla and Sylvia saw the boy version of herself was gone, they’d retreat.
But to her surprise, they had no intention of leaving.
Seeing this…
Lynn, who stood beside her, felt awkward staying silent, so after a moment, the enemy nodded and introduced himself: “I’m Lynn, a lecturer at Lidel Magic Academy. Currently pursuing Miss Lulu~ Lulu… hasn’t mentioned me to you two?”
Lynn’s arrival was actually a little trap for Layla and Sylvia.
After all, they kept calling Keti their bestie but had no idea who Lynn was, even though he seemed so close to Keti—it was all a bit absurd…
From the start, their story sounded fake as hell…
Keti could have exposed their identities outright, but unfortunately, the silver-haired beauty didn’t dare to do that at this moment.
Sensing the “friendly” yet threatening gaze from the two girls—afraid that Sylvia might suddenly pull out some mysterious machete she bought from nowhere, or that the Priestess might instantly turn into a combat nurse and blow her up—Keti could only quietly watch the two experts face off.
“Ahaha, well, Lulu’s just a bit shy, so she doesn’t say much, but she has mentioned you. When I saw you just now, I knew you must be Lynn! I’d only known you were pursuing Lulu, but I didn’t expect you two to be this close already! Haha…we caught you!”
“Hmm…thanks for your concern. Didn’t expect Lulu to be so introverted around you two. With me, she’s totally different. Heh, but…I remember I only arranged a date with my little kitten today. May I ask what you two are here for…”
“To be the third wheel…”
“Of course not to be third wheels! Hahaha…Sylvia, what are you saying? You need to say it properly next time!”
Just as the green-haired elf seemed about to blurt out some serious plan, the purple-haired jellyfish-headed big sister quickly stopped her.
After a moment of quick thinking, she turned to Lynn with a fake smile:
“Still haven’t introduced ourselves. I’m Layla, and this is Sylvia. We’re very close friends of Miss Lulu, so we heard she had a date tonight and wanted to come oversee things, hahaha…no, don’t mind us. We just wanted to check if Lynn here treats Lulu well. If so, we’d be happy to lend our support~”
“Pfft…support for me?”
Hearing this strange excuse, Lynn smiled helplessly, then looked at the silver-haired beauty beside him and noticed…
Eh, wait…
Why does my little kitten look a bit off?!
Why…why has this become like this?!
The girl was really starting to lose it…
Putting aside Layla’s nonsense and the enemy’s strange bullsh*t in the middle…
The fact that Layla and Sylvia had actually come along on Keti’s and Lynn’s “endure the humiliation” date?!
This, this…what the hell is going on?
The date was already hard enough to get through, and now the difficulty is about to double?!
Originally, Keti wanted to pretend to be close with Lynn because she thought Layla and Sylvia would leave afterward, and even if her identity got exposed later, she could just say Lynn was a hired actor and it was all acting.
But…if they don’t leave…
If the enemy starts teasing her later and Layla and Sylvia see her being bullied by Lynn, that’s embarrassing enough for now, but…
If in the future she still looks like this and reunites with her two former teammates, and they recall today’s scene…
Ugh—
That would be a social death for Keti!
…What, what, what do I do?
What do I do?!
After a moment, the silver-haired beauty quickly turned her head and frantically waved at Layla and Sylvia, trying to explain in advance.
“No, it’s not what you think! I, I, I’ve just run into some trouble recently, so I asked Lynn tonight to teach me how to solve it! Ugh…”
After saying that, she turned back and angrily punched Lynn’s shoulder, “Lynn, what are you talking about? We…we’re not like that, right?!”
… It’s not a consensual relationship, and…there’s even some coercion involved, ugh~
“Yeah…that’s right! Didn’t I say I’m the one pursuing Miss Lulu, but she hasn’t agreed yet~”
Watching Keti start explaining again, Lynn smiled mischievously and played along.

Meanwhile…
The purple-haired jellyfish-headed big sister seemed completely uninterested in what the real relationship between Keti and Lynn was.
She just waved her hand and teasingly said:
“Don’t worry, just do what you want. We won’t spoil the mood~”
Layla squinted, carefully observing the white-haired girl’s reaction, which did seem somewhat reluctant.
But…whatever.
Layla didn’t care what secrets lay behind this.
As long as Keti believed that this white-haired little brat was cheating with another man, wasn’t that good enough~
Don’t worry, no matter if she’s two-timing or not, today I’m going to prove it for you~
Well then, let the date begin~
