Luo You lounged with an air of casual ease, surveying the room before slipping off her shoes and reclining sideways on the sofa in a slightly provocative pose.
Because she was wearing foot socks, her smooth, pearl-like toes and heels peeked out, creating yet another stunning sight.
Damn! Even this little detail is so perfect!
Li Yun exclaimed in admiration, truly in awe of Luo Youyou.
If Luo Youyou hadn’t been there to train with her before, she probably would have already lost her composure.
Compared to plain white stockings, these half-exposed foot socks were far more alluring and enticing.
“Want some tea?”
“Mm!”
Li Yun brewed a cup of honeyed citrus tea that Luo You had brought earlier and handed it over, feeling a bit anxious inside.
Right now, standing before her wasn’t some substitute meal, but the real Elera—those rare delicacies she’d only dreamed of.
If this was all preparation for the future, how was she supposed to approach her now?
“Who’s this?” Luo You pointed to a familiar scene.
Li Yun’s heart skipped slightly—she hadn’t even thought before bringing Elera in, and some things hadn’t been put away yet.
“Uh… that’s my sister.”
“Huh? Your sister? She looks so much younger than you.”
“Haha, that’s also part of why she’s cute…”
Li Yun hurriedly put the photo away, returning it to her room.
This time, she’d miscalculated and dragged her sister into this as well.
But just as she came out, another scene unfolded that almost made her heart stop.
“Then what’s this?” Luo You pulled out a collar, smirking at her.
Huh!?
A horse bridle!
She’d taken it out before leaving to do some imagination training and forgotten to put it away!
Li Yun’s face drained of color, her expression utterly poor.
“Th-that’s… for walking my pet…”
“You have a pet? Where is it?”
“I-I will have one in the future.”
“In the future, huh…”
Luo You’s words carried a hidden meaning as she looked at the inside of the collar.
“Li Yun… is this the pet’s name? It’s also the name of the Sixth Seat of the Magic Alliance.”
“Eh!? J-just a coincidence?”
Li Yun grew increasingly nervous, her fingers trembling slightly with fear.
She was betting now—betting that Elera, who’d been with too many magical girls, wouldn’t remember this collar!
“So subconsciously, you really do see the Sixth Seat as your pet. Ambitious—I like that about you.”
“Ah… ahaha, yes, that’s exactly it.”
Click—
Luo You swiftly put the collar on and asked, “Big Sister, do you think it looks good on me?”
Li Yun froze.
One of her ultimate dreams—a small goal—had been realized: putting a collar on Elera.
Even though Elera had put it on herself.
But why did everything happening right now feel so familiar?
Just like the demonstration Luo Youyou had done—almost the exact same process.
What a coincidence.
【Miss Youyou, can you feel our bond? You and I are now walking the path to chasing our dreams.】
“You haven’t answered me yet, does it suit me?”
Luo You even trotted up close to Li Yun for her to take a good look.
No! This little demon was too much to handle!
Li Yun almost lost control, but this was part of the exercises she’d done with Luo Youyou before.
Because of that bond with Luo Youyou, she hadn’t lost herself!
“Don’t, don’t joke around. Take it off quickly—it’s for pets.”
“Eh.”
“Alright, take it off now!?”
Just as Li Yun reached out, Luo You put the collar on herself with lightning speed.
…Huh?
At this point, Luo You laid her cards on the table.
“I really didn’t expect you to be able to endure it. You really think I don’t know who you are?”
“Wh-what are you talking about?”
“Still pretending.”
Luo You snapped, “Kneel!”
Those simple words made Li Yun’s knees go weak instinctively, and she sank straight down.
But—
Just before her knees touched the floor, she suddenly pushed off with both hands and stood back up.
“Oh? You managed to resist the instincts I trained out of you—that’s commendable.”
Luo You met her confused gaze and said, “Sixth Seat Li Yun, after I slept with you, I used the ‘Seeing Through Illusions’ technique to look at your true form, so naturally, I know what you look like.”
Li Yun’s pupils dilated sharply.
The next second, she shouted uncontrollably, “So you were just humoring me the whole time, making a fool of me!?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Luo You admitted without hesitation.
Li Yun shivered all over, unable to believe it.
“Ah~ You pretended not to know me and really surprised me when you approached. You had such nerve. Too bad if you’d acted a bit more natural, I might have gone along with it and let you show a little breeze in bed.”
“Bed…?! N-no, I just wanted to—”
“Do you dare say you didn’t?”
Luo You pierced her with a question that struck deep into her soul.
“When you looked at me, those burning eyes already exposed your intentions.”
“I bet you were thinking to punch me to my knees, tie me up, make me humbly call you ‘Master,’ and then force me to lick your toes, right?”
“W-what!”
S-so accurate!
Not a single word wrong!
Was this woman a monster?
The bond she had with Youyou was trampled on so easily!
Despair flooded Li Yun’s heart, extinguishing any will to resist.
Oh? Did she go too far with the mockery?
Luo You fell silent. She had intended to provoke Li Yun’s anger to the fullest.
Well then, time for a change of tactic.
“But~~ your defeated look reminds me so much of when your sister came to find me recently.”
“W-what did you say? (trembling)”
“About half a month ago? It was a heavy rain day. Your sister was soaking wet and found me on the street. Guess what she said to me?”
Luo You crouched down, gently and slowly stroking Li Yun’s face, “She said: ‘Let me forget everything.’ Do you know what that means?”
Li Yun’s eyes visibly shattered.
“She was asking me to help her forget all the other pain in her life—through intimacy.”
“N-no way… My sister wouldn’t! What did you do to her?!”
That warm sister, that fiercely strong sister she’d known all her life—she actually begged Elera like that?
Impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
She couldn’t even imagine it.
But Luo You kept delivering blow after blow.
“Your sister begged me just like you do now.”
Word by word, Luo You said, “A, d, d, i, c, t, e, d, d~ o, g.”
Suddenly, it felt as if something inside was breaking apart.
“Feeling hopeless, aren’t you?”
Luo You’s seductive eyes twined like silk, her thumb tracing Li Yun’s reddened lips, “Hey~ why don’t you and your sister say the same thing to me? I’ll take care of you just as well as I did her.”
“Come, say it with me.”
At this moment, Luo You seemed possessed by Xing Yu, speaking in the same heartbreaking tone and spreading the same contagious despair as before: “Big Brother, please… let me forget everything.”
