“So what’s going on…”
Emilia looked at the two lolis who had fallen from the sky and asked.
This was all too sudden.
“Well…it’s a bit complicated to explain.” Nuo Ai’er forced an awkward smile.
Hui Mei beside her had already fainted and was lying on the sofa.
“It’s okay… what matters is that you’re back…”
Leinata didn’t care what happened; the most important thing was that Nuo Ai’er was safe.
“Um”
Having just experienced a series of explosive events, Nuo Ai’er was already exhausted.
Feeling Leinata’s warm embrace at this moment was undoubtedly a critical hit.
Then Nuo Ai’er completely relaxed and closed her eyes in Leinata’s gentle arms.
She was too tired; all she wanted now was a good sleep.
Ten minutes later, in the bedroom.
“That should do it.”
Emilia and Leinata together placed Nuo Ai’er on the bed in the bedroom.
Then Emilia arranged for Anna to put that unknown pink-haired loli on the guest room bed to rest.
On the bed, Nuo Ai’er slept deeply, breathing evenly.
That pink-haired loli still seemed unconscious.
“Um… did her dark circles get a lot heavier?”
Emilia looked at little Nuo Ai’er, who was sleeping like a little thumb (crossed out) loli, and couldn’t help lowering her voice, afraid of waking her.
“She must have gone through something…” Leinata gave Nuo Ai’er a deep look.
Although Leinata wanted to sit by the bed and keep watch over her, at a time like this, it was better to let her rest alone.
To avoid disturbing Nuo Ai’er, the two quietly exited the bedroom and gently closed the door.
Back in the living room, they sat on the sofa, the atmosphere a bit awkward for a moment.
“So…” Emilia picked up the freshly brewed tea on the table, trying to get her brain working again.
“That pink-haired little girl… who exactly is she?”
Emilia didn’t understand; even a PVP instance couldn’t bring another player to their side.
Could it be…
“Could it be a trophy…” Leinata frowned slightly, her golden wolf ears twitching. She looked at Emilia and asked.
“Does this single-player rule-based horror story have any substantial rewards? Does it also give out lolis?” Leinata asked seriously.
“How could that be!” Emilia immediately shot it down without hesitation.
“I’ve played dozens of games, and I do know that clearing some dungeons gives material rewards—like rare items, skill books, or exclusive titles.”
“The last one sounds really useless…” Leinata commented.
“It actually adds a bit to your charm~”
“Even more useless.”
“Hey, don’t miss the point… Anyway, what I mean is, giving away a living person is unheard of in the rules of the Inner World!”
As a veteran who had been around the Inner World for a long time, Emilia knew the dungeon reward system all too well.
The system would never let players take individuals away.
After hearing Emilia’s explanation, Leinata was silent for a moment, then nodded expressionlessly.
“I see. As expected of my Nuo Ai’er, she easily accomplished something we never imagined, pioneering a new precedent in the Inner World.”
“No way!” Emilia almost spat out her tea.
“What kind of strange precedent is that! What’s with that proud tone! This isn’t a normal reward either…”
Leinata didn’t argue.
The two chatted softly in the living room for a while longer.
Emilia yawned, saying she was going back to her room to take a nap.
“Then I’ll go check on Nuo Ai’er too.” Leinata stood up and walked toward the bedroom.
However, when she pushed open the bedroom door, she froze.
“Haha”
The big bed that should have held the cute white horse loli was now completely empty.
Although the bedding still had the imprint of someone lying on it, Nuo Ai’er was nowhere to be seen.
Leinata’s heart skipped a beat.
At the same moment…
“Miss Leinata!”
The maid Anna ran in, looking flustered when she saw Leinata.
“That pink-haired little girl… she’s gone.”
Both had disappeared at the same time.
This situation…
Black mist rose from Leinata’s body.
***
Meanwhile, on a street a few blocks away from the mansion.
“Phew… should be far enough away now.”
Hui Mei sat quietly on a bench, tightly holding the still-sleeping Nuo Ai’er in her arms.
Actually, Hui Mei had woken up before Nuo Ai’er.
When she opened her eyes and found herself in a completely unfamiliar place, that familiar fear surged from the bottom of her heart.
She panicked and immediately searched for her sister. Fortunately, even across worlds, she could still clearly smell the reassuring scent of her sister.
After finding her sister, although Nuo Ai’er was fine, Hui Mei, having just gone through so much, was very sensitive.
For some reason, she had a feeling she couldn’t stay here… if she stayed here, her sister would soon no longer be hers alone.
Little sister danger perception radar activated!
So she chose to take her sister and run away.
Just then, Hui Mei suddenly heard a voice…
【Player Hui Mei, welcome to the Inner World!】
She heard a strange mechanical voice coming from inside her head.
Then Hui Mei discovered that she seemed to have awakened a strange power called a “talent”—she could freely control those red strings that looked like magic.
“I originally planned to use it to punish Sister Nuo Ai’er…”
But Sister Nuo Ai’er was truly incredible; Hui Mei’s power wasn’t needed at all, because Nuo Ai’er had already solved everything.
Hui Mei felt proud.
So, using the power of this magic red rope, Hui Mei quietly escaped from the mansion’s window with the sleeping Nuo Ai’er, all the way here.
“Sister Nuo Ai’er, sleeping so soundly…”
Hui Mei looked down at Nuo Ai’er’s sleeping face in her arms. She was fast asleep.
Hui Mei didn’t understand—everything had been resolved in just two days, so why did Sister Nuo Ai’er look so exhausted?
“…Mm!”
Just then, a slight stabbing pain suddenly hit Hui Mei’s mind.
She looked around at the unfamiliar streets and suddenly felt a headache.
It seemed… when she was in that dark room earlier, making a contract with that green witch, the other party had mentioned a world with this kind of environment.
What was it called…
“The Inner World…” Hui Mei murmured, a flicker of confusion in her eyes.
Just then, a breeze blew.
Hui Mei suddenly sensed an extremely dangerous presence.
Behind her, a purple-haired beauty’s figure had silently approached at some point.
She wore an elegant lace dress, a smile on her lips, her gaze fixed directly on the two on the bench.
“Little girl, are you lost?” The purple-haired beauty—Camilla—spoke slowly.
Hui Mei turned her head and looked at the woman emanating a terrifying aura. Her body uncontrollably hugged Nuo Ai’er.
It wasn’t Hui Mei’s imagination—this woman’s attention was completely focused on her sister!
Little sister danger perception radar activated again!
