We’ve arrived!
After seeing Keti stop in her tracks, Layla and Sylvia, who had stopped fantasizing, both followed the silver-haired beauty’s pointing finger and looked in that direction, only to see a man’s back!
Keti—
The Priestess immediately became excited.
This was great!
After searching for so many days, she was finally about to find her beloved Keti-kun~
These past few days had been terrible.
She thought she might have lost her beloved lover for good.
But fortunately…finally, hard work pays off…she was finally going to be reunited with Keti!
Hehehe, the rest of the story would go according to the plan she had started.
Keti-kun, your big sister is here to comfort your wounded inner world~!
“W-Wait a minute…Layla, something feels off. Keti-kun…isn’t that guy that tall, is he?”
Just as the purple-haired big sister with the jellyfish hairstyle was drifting deeper into her obsession, Sylvia, who had been quietly observing Keti the entire time, quickly noticed that something was wrong.
Ahem ahem ahem.
Though far away, the clear-headed elf lady could tell that the guy seemingly waiting wasn’t Keti.
She initially thought it was just a passerby, but…
***
The next moment, Lynn glanced their way, a faint smile curling at the corner of his lips, and then strode directly toward them.
“Finally arrived. I was beginning to think the little kitty was going to stand me up~ Uh…who’s this?”
Seeing the two girls next to Keti, Lynn blinked in confusion, as if he couldn’t figure out what kind of act Keti was putting on.
The silver-haired beauty, now panicking, suddenly remembered something and dashed forward, grabbing her archrival’s arm and pulling her aside…
“Lynn, ugh…save me, ugh…”
Looking at the pale little face of the white-haired kitty, Lynn tilted his head in amusement.
Wait, weren’t those two girls just this little one’s former teammates?
What was going on here?
He had already guessed that something probably happened since the girls arrived late, but before Keti spoke, he couldn’t speculate further, so he had chosen to play along from the start.
Still, the fact that Keti was actively looking for him was clear from her eyes.
Otherwise, he might not have approached at all.
“What’s going on exactly? Did those former teammates recognize you?”
Casting a glance at the two girls who were now petrified, Lynn lowered his voice and quietly asked Keti.
Unexpectedly, the silver-haired beauty shook her head and quickly pleaded with a pale face:
“Not yet, so please…don’t call my name. Remember, remember, absolutely do NOT say my real name! Call me little kitty or Lulu or any nickname you want, but if you slip up, the consequences will be terrible!”
Hmm?
Seeing how frightened she was, Lynn immediately got the gist of it.
Ah…she hasn’t been recognized yet?
But she’s being tangled up by her former teammates?
“Is there anything I need to do, little kitty~ Don’t forget, we have a date tonight. You’re not seriously bringing your former teammates along to be third wheels, are you? If you mess up our date, humph humph humph~”
“Ugh…!!!”
The silver-haired beauty was almost exasperated by her archrival.
Oh geez, can’t you see how dire my situation is?
Why are you rubbing salt in the wound?
But right now, besides this rival, Keti really had no one else to rely on.
After all, the elf girl on the other side was clearly ready to stab her…
So, after a moment, the silver-haired beauty could only shake her head pitifully, bite her lip, and continue:
“No, you don’t need to do anything. Nothing at all! Just…go on with your original plan as normal. I…I’ll cooperate with you, isn’t that enough, meow—”
“Mhm~ You said that, didn’t you? Pfft, alright then, little kitty~ I’ll do my best to make sure you enjoy tonight~”
Watching the obedient white-haired kitty, Lynn grinned mischievously, then reached out and wrapped his arm around the girl’s waist…
Keti shivered all over, her face flushing crimson…
Faced with this blatant advantage-taking by her archrival, the silver-haired beauty could only silently shut her eyes and choose…
to endure it in silence!
Ugh…there was no choice.
To shake off Layla and Sylvia’s pursuit, right now, pretending to be a lovey-dovey couple with Lynn in front of her two former teammates was the best plan Keti could think of!
After all, they wanted to see Keti, and now that they couldn’t find her, and saw that tonight’s date really wasn’t with Keti…
Surely…they would give up!
Quick…quick, let’s go.
Keti’s gone!
Besides, I already quit the team.
Is there any need to go all out like this?
However, while Keti and Lynn quietly conspired here, on the other side, Layla and Sylvia had already exploded!
Seeing that the person who came was not Keti, the two girls blinked in confusion and then sank into deep self-doubt.
N-No…who are you?!
This white-haired little green-eyed girl’s date tonight…really isn’t Keti?!
Hiss—
For a moment, Layla even suspected that maybe the white-haired girl had sent a message to their Keti to make him run away halfway through, then quickly found this person to play the part.
No, that can’t be right!
Putting aside that they had been watching this white-haired girl the whole way and never gave her a chance to send any message, just looking at the scene in front of them…
This tall, handsome guy just came up and hugged Lulu’s waist?!
The purple-haired big sister’s pupils practically dilated in shock.
She had adventured alongside Keti for so long, yet Keti had never acted this intimately with her!
This white-haired girl just let the man hug her from the start.
Plus, from what he said earlier, it was clear he’d been waiting for this white-haired girl.
This…
Didn’t look like an act at all!
Could it be that what Miss Lulu said was true?
Her date tonight really isn’t Keti?!
This…this doesn’t seem right!
But…
Layla was absolutely certain this girl had to be connected to Keti.
Hadn’t they already confirmed it with the landlady and Sister Shasha?
The endless parties and music and all that, she had accepted it—now you’re telling me it’s fake?!
No, something’s wrong…still wrong.
After a long breath, Layla turned and locked eyes with Sylvia.
Without saying a word, the two came to the same realization…
Encountered a bad woman—!
