“Alright, alright~ Cheer squad! Ah… If you put it that way, maybe I should start thinking seriously about a cheer phrase now? How about we form a Miss Keti Support Squad in advance?”
“The slogan could be something like… Miss Keti is the best in the world, Miss Keti is stunningly beautiful, Miss Keti is wise beyond compare, I really want to be Miss Keti’s loyal dog~ or something like that?”
“If you actually lead people to shout that, even if you shout it yourself, I’ll kill you.”
The silver-haired beauty gave her archenemy a speechless glare. Cough cough cough … It really was a rebellion against the natural order—white-haired loli threatening the ruler.
But what could she do? After all, this was her own little kitty~
Lord Lynn could only shrug helplessly, then patted her shoulder and said:
“Don’t worry, that guy Richard won’t let any danger happen. The reason he chose this dungeon is because your team had already dealt with most of the small monsters before the final boss.”
“With clear information, he’s confident he can handle any trouble here. If necessary, he’ll step in… though he might be more focused on protecting the students.”
“As for you, little kitty~ no need to worry either, because I’ll be following Richard and watching over you all.”
“If you run into any trouble, that’s when I’ll step up. So don’t be afraid—just leave your rear guard to me!”
“Ugh… this…”
The silver-haired beauty immediately buried her face in embarrassment again. Geez, this archenemy always knows how to say things so smoothly!”
“Does he really think he can boost his favorability with me so easily? No way…
Well, actually, it kind of worked. After a moment, the silver-haired beauty shyly raised her head and looked toward her rival. After a brief pause, she parted her soft pink lips and hesitantly said:
“Th-thank you, Lynn. Sorry to trouble you again… Thanks for giving me that surprise egg—ah no, the meat wall fortress—and for buying me so many things at the mall today.”
“Honestly, I probably don’t need that many, especially the clothes. Layla and the others pushed me into buying those. You can return some of them. After all, I…I’m not really going to wear them! They’ll just sit in the wardrobe…”
“Hm~ it’s no problem. I actually like those clothes. Cough cough … Although you probably can’t wear them out, since they’re already bought, just keep them. You have too few clothes.”
“Sometimes trying cute little skirts girls wear isn’t bad at all. Since you’ve chosen to live as a girl for now, why not dress up a bit? Otherwise, you might regret it later~”
“So… I actually picked out a few dresses for you~ Including some normal JK styles. How about considering wearing a JK uniform to class tomorrow? It’s only Wednesday after all—no practical exams coming up!”
“Ha ha ha… No way! I-I would rather die than wear that! Ugh… I wouldn’t even wear a normal one!”
Keti quickly shook her head and outright refused her rival on the spot, but… the refusal was so blunt it only fired up her rival’s competitive spirit!
A moment later, Lynn tilted his head, a mischievous smile curling on his lips, and he started teasing the white-haired loli again:
“Oh? Why not? You’re brave enough to wear such a daring JK uniform now, and… it’s see-through, right? I happened to catch a glimpse—can’t hide anything~ Pfft…”
“Such a bold little Keti, yet unwilling to wear a normal JK to class. Why is that? Too shy? Impossible… I just can’t figure it out~ Oh, wait, I get it—maybe it’s just not challenging enough~”
He smiled even wider and leaned close to the girl’s ear, whispering teasingly:
“Could it be that little kitty thinks wearing this current JK outfit to teach students is already exciting enough~? Ah… what a contrast little tease you are~”
“Since that’s the case… I’m kind of curious now. How about trying it out? I remember I gave you 100,000 yen as a sponsorship fee before, so… you should obey your master’s orders, right~?”
“No no no… That’s not it—!”
Aaaahhhh!
In an instant, the silver-haired beauty was utterly mortified. Her archenemy was seriously terrifying!
She was already embarrassed enough just wearing this in front of him, and now he wanted her to wear it in front of the students?
Guh… How could she ever teach like that? Her authority as a teacher would be totally destroyed!
“I don’t like any kind of women’s clothing. At all! Gahhh… If it came down to that, I’d rather wear a normal JK! Ugh… Although it would hurt my professional image, at least I wouldn’t be seen as some strange woman!”
“No way, absolutely no way. I don’t care how much money you give me, I won’t do it! I-I’ll give all the money back! Ugh… after I get paid…”
Ah…
Actually, Keti recently couldn’t resist and bought some alchemy materials, so she had already spent some of that 100,000 yen.
This made the silver-haired beauty break into a cold sweat—she was only talking nonsense casually! Her archenemy mustn’t really ask her for money!
But it was obvious Lynn didn’t really want such a cute little kitty on display for others to see; otherwise, he wouldn’t have arranged for a carriage to escort her all the way back. So… his words were just jokes.
Still, the white-haired loli’s reaction was just too cute. This back-and-forth dirty talk was actually kind of a fun little pastime. Seeing how much little Keti enjoyed it, Lynn waved his hand and smiled:
“Just teasing little kitty, how could I be so heartless? It’s true, as a teacher, wearing a student’s uniform to class isn’t very proper, hmm…”
“Although little kitty does look like an adorable student in a JK uniform, she is a teacher after all…”
“Ugh… you, you jerk…”
Breathing a sigh of relief, the silver-haired beauty rolled her eyes at him. After a moment, she said with a hint of grievance:
“I really don’t understand you. Sometimes you’re so mean, sometimes you’re quite chivalrous. Always bullying me… Your strengths and weaknesses are so obvious!”
“Hmph… If I’d known, I wouldn’t have thanked you. All these rewards can only be considered compensation for how you bullied me in the fitting room! Oh, right, there’s one more thing…”
“Hm? What is it, little kitty? Decided to try on the new dresses?”
“Not at all! Guh… I wanted to… talk to you about… Layla and Sylvia. Those two…”
