“Who?” Xingyue immediately frowned.
She’d still underestimated this lunatic’s abilities. There was already a magical girl seeking her out? That meant someone in the Ten Seats hadn’t listened to her advice and was still keeping in touch with Herrera.
“Hello?”
Loyou glanced at Xingyue, deliberately turning the call volume down to the minimum so only she could hear it.
“Onii-san~~ What’s up? Are you looking for a little fun with me?”
“.Herrera! What did you do to Xingyue!”
“Pff~~ As expected of Big Sis, you act all scared and tough, it’s really cute~”
That same familiar flavor—so pure it made Liyun’s heart immediately beat faster.
That’s exactly the flavor she wanted; it was most satisfying when she defeated the little demon girl and made her lose face—ah, ah, ah!
Unfortunately, that goal might never be achieved, at least not on her own.
“Where are you?” Liyun asked in a low voice.
“What’s it to you?”
“Tell me!”
“Heh? Rare of you—alright, I’ll give Big Sis a little reward for being tough for the first time.” Loyou teased, turning to look at the helpless Xingyue. “I’m currently enjoying my spoils of war.”
Liyun’s heart skipped a beat.
As expected! If that witch got her, you didn’t need to imagine the result.
But she still hadn’t heard Xingyue’s voice and couldn’t be completely sure.
“I don’t believe you!” she growled.
“Heh~~ Still so stubborn, pathetic Big Sis, then I’ll let you hear something real.”
Loyou slapped her thigh with a crisp ‘pa’, then signaled to Xingyue, shouting, “Hey! Bitch! Bark twice so your partner can hear you!”
Xingyue’s lips remained tightly shut; she had no intention of opening her mouth.
Loyou immediately mouthed her a message.
—You don’t want your coworkers to know this is just a lewd scene, do you?
That warning worked well. Xingyue had no choice but to cooperate.
“Herrera, do you know what your consequences will—”
“Okay, that’s enough!” Loyou said into the receiver, “Sorry to let Big Sis see this, the capture was too recent, I haven’t trained her yet. Don’t worry, next time you call, all you’ll hear is a bitch’s barking!”
At this moment, Liyun completely believed it.
She could even picture Xingyue stripped naked, being ridden like a horse by the little demon girl.
“Herrera! Wait!”
Liyun called out at once. “Why are you doing this to Xingyue now? Without her, we can barely withstand this Ji Le Tide! Countless people will die or be injured!”
“It’s simple, Big Sis. Why don’t you step up and lead the charge instead?”
“I—I…” Liyun rolled her eyes in anger.
Why don’t you do it yourself? If you swap with Xingyue, that wouldn’t be so bad!
Loyou: “That’s true, you really can’t handle it, Big Sis. The gap in strength is just too big.”
“Herrera, you’re a reasonable person. Don’t cause chaos at a time like this, okay? I can take Xingyue’s place. Right now, nothing can happen to her!”
“Oysters~~”
“Alright… Herrera, even though there are many misunderstandings between us, I know you’re actually… uh, actually… actually, you wouldn’t do anything too much to Xingyue, right?”
“Mmhm~~? What’s ‘too much’ supposed to mean?”
“You… You won’t endanger her life, right?”
“Heh… You should be more worried whether Xingyue can endure my brutal training. Maybe she’ll even end it herself.”
Loyou hung up unilaterally, ignoring Liyun’s repeated attempts to call again.
Of course, that didn’t mean she was letting that juicy piece of meat Liyun go. Xingyue was to be eaten, but so was Liyun. Who would complain about too much meat?
But Loyou wanted Liyun to play a bit more artistically.
“Looks like the Silver Party isn’t happening for now, not enough people yet.”
Loyou seemed to have let her go, “But—while the Silver Party won’t be held for now, tonight you’ll have to show me your performance in bed.”
Xingyue showed no weakness, smiling, “Didn’t you already experience my performance firsthand?”
“Hmph, this time you won’t get a chance to fight back. It’s my turn to enjoy!”
“Oh, what a pity…”
But there was no sign of reluctance on Xingyue’s face. “Anyway, that’s it. I won’t show myself outside for a while, I’m totally free, so you can do whatever you want.”
“Totally free? That’s plenty of time for all sorts of preparations.”
“No need. If I’m going to disappear, it has to be completely. If I can’t even fool myself, how can I fool anyone else?”
“Then I’ll start right here in this booth.”
Loyou pointed at the floor unceremoniously. “Get down for me.”
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless one.
For Xingyue, for Loyou, and for the countless people involved in this matter.
Loyou didn’t actually play the so-called defeat-play. That was based on the premise that she’d beaten Xingyue, but Xingyue had never fought seriously at all, which Loyou noticed during their fight.
Now she was just cooperating with Xingyue’s act.
…Actually, the main thing was she wanted to film a lewd scene.
A very lewd one.
But Loyou didn’t want to always be the dominant side.
The only reason she and Xingyue got along was that Xingyue could give her the thrill of a satisfying battle, not a one-sided slaughter. That’s all Loyou sought.
So… Xingyue would still have some room to play.
The result of that was—
The two battled for a whole day and night, overturning tables that weighed over a hundred jin in the booth. They even staged a “body sashimi” kind of artistic banquet.
“Really? Xingyue was really taken down by Herrera?!”
Baihe, just off the ship, went weak in the knees with shock upon hearing the news.
She barked, “Is it confirmed? Don’t fall into some trap!”
She was still talking to that synthesized electronic voice from the system.
“We’re negotiating with the Outsider Organization, hoping to see some real evidence… Enough about that, tell us what you found at the Ji Le Sea.”
“The Black Candle Titan has already awakened.”
Baihe reported everything she had seen.
“That’s great! Now we just need to use Ji Le to help the Black Candle Titan break the seal!”
“You’d better confirm the Xingyue matter before you celebrate.”
“We’re confirming… Huh, we’ve already made contact over here.”
In a shadowy corner of some city no one could reach.
The Outsider Organization’s leader—Yue—was video calling Loyou.
Only Loyou’s head appeared in the video. “Yo, Yue, don’t talk, I know what you want to ask.”
“Then go ahead.”
“It was awesome!”
Yue’s eyebrow twitched violently. “…That’s it?”
Loyou answered without hesitation, “Huge! And bouncy!”
Sigh—
Yue decided to get straight to the point, “Those people want to see your results. Is that okay?”
