“Yu! I’m being stared at again!”
“You called just to tell me this?”
“It’s different this time! You’re staring at me too! Your gaze is especially perverted! Super creepy!”
“Just wait till I get back, I’ll give you another beating.”
Then Xue got another round of discipline.
Luo Yu clapped her tired hands.
“You really won’t cry until you see the coffin, huh? Why do you insist on sleeping all the time?”
“Like it?”
Xue tilted her head.
“I think you just like being stared at!”
Xue pouted unhappily.
Isn’t it just sleeping?
If I can’t even sleep as I please, it must be your incompetence, Yu!
Nyeh nyeh nyeh~~~
A murderous glint flashed in Luo Yu’s eyes.
“Sounds like you have something to say?”
“Nope.”
“I can feel you blaming me in your heart.”
“No, not at all, I’m absolutely loyal to you, Yu!”
Luo Yu treated those words as nothing but hot air.
“In short, don’t cause any more trouble. You’ve got games to play, food to eat, drinks to drink, what more could you want? If you cause any more problems, I’ll see if I can’t just finish you off!”
After Luo Yu left, Xue quietly returned to her computer desk.
She wasn’t wrong.
With games to play, food and drinks, it’s already satisfying…
Or is it, really?
If she was truly satisfied, then where did this desire for something better come from?
Right now, only one thought circled in her mind: Is this really how my life is going to be forever?
Speaking of which, she still didn’t know exactly what her “owner” did for a living.
Sometimes a magical girl, sometimes something else entirely—what kind of life did she really lead?
Once she started thinking about it, Xue’s imagination ran wild.
For her, playing on the computer, eating good food, and drinking cola was daily life—she couldn’t think of anything else to do.
Sure, she saw what other people were up to online, but knowing and truly “understanding” were two different things.
Without firsthand experience, nobody could really know.
So, she called Luo Yu again.
“What is it now?”
“Yu, can I tag along with you?”
“What’s gotten into you now?”
“I want to know what you really do, Yu.”
“Me? I do the same things you do.”
Xue didn’t buy it for a second.
No need to think—this old hag must have a way more exciting life.
“Yu, if you don’t let me tag along, I’ll…”
“You’ll what? (killing intent)”
“…I’ll just go to sleep and let you watch.”
“Fine, sleep if you want! But don’t come crying to me when you get stared at again.”
Xue hung up with a sulky huff.
Forget it, I can’t win, better just play games honestly.
“Hmph, looks like she’s getting rebellious!”
Luo Yu grumbled, stuffing her phone back in her pocket.
This time, she’d installed cameras in Xue’s house, so she could check on Xue’s movements at any time with her phone—everything was under control.
Just then, she got a call from her aunt.
“Yo, Aunt, what’s up?”
“Yuyu, can you come over to my place?”
“…Auntie, at a time like this you’re still making appointments? Not that I mind, but it’s not a good look.”
“It’s not what you think!”
Ji Yue growled in frustration.
“Just come over now! (hangs up)”
Whoa, Auntie sounds really anxious.
Luo Yu shook her head in confusion.
Oh well, better hurry over!
Can’t let Auntie get too dried up!
Half an hour later—
“Aunt, this isn’t what I was expecting.”
“Shut it.”
Inside the hotel room, the little demon girl was wearing a fiery costume, with lewdly suggestive thigh-high socks, and even a mask over her face.
At first glance, it was a perfect 1:1 recreation of Herrera.
“So… Auntie, why do you want me to cosplay that pervert who once assaulted you?”
“I told you, I need to do some practice.”
Ji Yue slowly took off her clothes, her ripe-peach-like figure gradually exposed to the air.
“Auntie, I think I hear the sound of clothes coming off—are you planning to do something embarrassing?”
“You can’t see?”
Ji Yue asked, clearly annoyed.
Hell no, I really can’t see!
Luo Yu grinned.
The mask Auntie put on her was just a knockoff—it couldn’t see through anything!
But this kind of sensory deprivation play… not bad at all!
Soon, she felt a pair of hands push her onto the bed.
“That pervert’s spot here is the most sensitive.”
“Mm!?”
Luo Yu suddenly bit her lip, because her navel was being teased—those hands wandering ever so suggestively around her waist.
“Mm.”
“A-Auntie? Isn’t this a bit much? Are you practicing just so you can seduce that pervert later?”
Ji Yue answered frankly, “That pervert promised me she’d help me unconditionally three times. This time, I’m going to claim my reward.”
Ah, I see.
By now, Luo Yu realized exactly what Auntie was up to.
Auntie already knew she was Herrera, but neither of them wanted to bring it up directly, so they had to play these convoluted games to hint at things.
“You know about the recent Border Sea incident, right, Yuyu?”
“Yeah, I do. The supermassive Star Ring is out of commission for now, so an endless stream of dimensional beasts will slip through, right?”
“Exactly. If this keeps up, who knows how many people will die before the Star Ring is fixed.”
Ji Yue’s face grew sad as she spoke.
“As it happens, that pervert made a trip to the Border Sea before, and the effect was pretty impressive. So I want her to head out again, to intimidate those petty criminals lurking out there.”
“She said she’d help me unconditionally three times, but this time the favor I’m asking is complicated—she might refuse. So I want to practice how to please her in advance.”
Ohhh~~
Way to go, Auntie, not taking the straightforward path and even resorting to these underhanded tactics.
Luo Yu couldn’t help but be impressed.
“Auntie, you’re really dedicated! No wonder you’re a role model for magical girls!”
“Shut up!”
Ji Yue’s face flushed with embarrassment.
Her hands grew bolder, expertly serving the “fire goods” costume, while probing, “So, do you think if I do this, that pervert will agree?”
“Emmm… hard to say.”
