“Not at all, what I meant was, how could I ever support Miss Keti? That kind of relationship would be so unhealthy! Aren’t we friends? Friends desu!”
“Mm!”
Looking at her sworn enemy’s righteous expression at this moment, the silver-haired beauty immediately nodded excitedly.
That’s right, that’s how it should be.
Hehe, looks like the bell really worked~!
The sworn enemy has been transformed into a pure, kind-hearted, and upright good brother!
This is…too awesome, haha—!
The silver-haired girl struggled to hold back her laughter, then collected the money back and proudly nodded as she said to Lynn:
“Well said, exactly right! We are friends, friends! So, it was wrong of you to bully me like that last night! You’re not allowed to do that kind of thing anymore.”
“From now on, let’s just be good brothers~ Since we’re good brothers, isn’t it reasonable for you to give me Ten Thousand Dinar every month from now on~?”
A faint, hard-to-detect helpless smile tugged at Lynn’s mouth corner.
Then, Keti, having already started to slack off, waved him off and mercilessly sent him away:
“Alright, I’m fine now…just a little sleepy. Today’s a Rest Day, so let me sleep a bit more. No see-you-later! Oh, right, remember to leave the key to my room behind. Goodbye, good brother, hmhmhmhm~!”
Sigh~
Watching the girl’s proud and adorably foolish expression, Lynn chuckled softly and yawned.
Well, actually, he was even more tired himself. It was time to go back and rest.
As for that little cat…
Let her let down her guard quietly and be happy for a while longer~
“Bye-bye~!”
“Mm, mm…no seeing off~!”
With the sound of the door closing, Keti let out a slight breath of relief and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead.
As expected, facing her sworn enemy always put a lot of pressure on her…especially now in this form.
But…after becoming a girl, there seemed to be some advantages.
She could actually refuse Lynn’s advances in a coquettish way, and he would indulge her, trying to accommodate her wishes.
Isn’t this just like how Alice used to treat her?
Hmm, no, no, even though it feels secretly good, she absolutely wasn’t a person who liked to act cute.
After all, she was still a boy!
So, whatever.
For now, her sworn enemy wouldn’t bully her anymore and even gave her so much money.
Although, that probably had a lot to do with her own efforts, cough cough…and by that, she meant enduring humiliation last night, not the bell thing just now.
Heh…
She’d buy him some gifts one day to thank him for his help.
She wasn’t the type to like owing others.
But seriously, how could that guy have the nerve to lay a hand on her?!
What a…pervert, pervert—!
***
Accidentally recalling last night, Keti angrily punched her pillow and then immediately fell back asleep in frustration.
Maybe because she had been so exhausted lately, coinciding with her first Rest Day after work, the silver-haired girl slept through the whole day until she yawned in the afternoon and climbed out of bed.
Of course, this didn’t mean she was fully awake yet.
Keti lay in bed for quite a while before she fully woke up and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.
She studied how girls should wash and dry their hair for a long time, fiddling until nighttime, only then… fully recharged—!
Hehe~
Most of her worries had dissipated.
Holding stacks of cash in her hands, now a rich girl, Keti decided to splurge a little to relieve the bad mood that had come with becoming a girl.
At the same time, she planned to visit the School Library to look for records about Transformation Potions, buy some alchemical materials, and oh right, pay her rent and redeem her Pearl Bracelet.
Ahhh…how did so many Subquests suddenly pop up at once?
Oh no, turning back is the Main Quest after all.
Hmm…but this Main Quest is a bit tough since the School Library has so many books, and searching through them would take time and luck. Whatever, no rush today.
She already had some materials left over, so she’d replenish them later, meaning she had procrastinated on two tasks already.
Finally…pay the Landlady the rent and then…get something to eat!
With a plan in mind, the girl tidied herself up a bit and set off accordingly!
Paying the rent went smoothly.
Keti went straight to the Landlady and handed over the money.
The old woman then rummaged through a pile of items to find her Pearl Bracelet and grumbled as she threw it into Keti’s hand.
“Here! Tsk, that pretty boy…I don’t get what those three girls see in him. He even has a woman deliver his rent for him. Bet it’s not even his own money.”
“Hmph, living off some little girl’s soft rice. I advise you to keep your head clear, young lady…”
Keti twitched the corner of her mouth in confusion.
How could she get scolded just for paying her own rent?
But she didn’t bother arguing, pocketed the bracelet, and turned to leave.
However…just before stepping out, the silver-haired girl suddenly turned back in a huff and made a face at the Landlady:
“Bleh~ Hmph, old hag, don’t look down on our Keti! She’s currently working hard to enter the Magic Tower and has unlimited potential! Grr…and Keti is pretty strong, too.”
“Every night, she and I have been partying hard~ Haha, a nightlife you old lady probably couldn’t even dream of~”
“Swish!”
After giving herself a confident brag, Keti bolted, leaving the dumbfounded Landlady standing there, face red and furious, stamping her foot in rage as she watched the silver-haired girl’s retreating figure, cursing and ranting.
Hehe~
Ah~
After running far away and venting her frustration, Keti stretched comfortably and shook her head.
Alright, now that she had everything, there was nothing to worry about.
Next up: find a place to eat.
Speaking of which, she was actually pretty hungry.
Last night, she barely ate because of her sworn enemy’s antics, and today she only had some dry food.
Grr…she’d have to buy some ingredients later and cook for herself to save money.
As for where to eat today…um…she wasn’t considering that restaurant from yesterday anymore.
Too risky running into her former teammates.
After some thought, hmm…right, there was that place—nice!
