“Grandaunt, we were wrong!”
Grand… forget it.
Setting aside her concern about this form of address, the girl stared at those thugs kneeling in a row on the ground, bruised and battered, raising her slender index finger and showing a terrifying expression:
“If I catch you next time, I won’t let you off so easily, okay?”
“We’ll never do it again from now on!”
— As if I’d believe you.
Regarding these thugs’ earnest appearance, Jiang Qiao couldn’t trust them one bit.
“Really, forcing me to use violence.”
Looking at the backs of those thugs fleeing like they were escaping, the pink girl clapped her hands and sighed somewhat helplessly.
Then, she looked toward the boy who was still sitting on the ground in a daze, and said gently:
“Alright, get up.”
“Are you just letting them go like that?”
Kosma, who was pulled up, seemed somewhat bewildered, then somewhat puzzled.
To this, Jiang Qiao shrugged:
“There’s nothing else I can do.”
Those thugs actually hadn’t committed any major crimes. Even if they really called the police, they’d probably just be locked up for a few dozen days.
If those thugs in this kind of place had some connections with the security department, who knows — they might arrest them today and release them tomorrow.
Although locking them up for a while would also be a lesson, doing so would be quite troublesome for him.
After all, Jiang Qiao had actually smuggled into New Zealand, and if he encountered security agencies… to avoid unnecessary trouble, it was better to avoid such things as much as possible.
“Or would you rather kill them? I won’t do it though.”
Looking at the boy who seemed quite concerned, 【Elysia】 casually suggested a solution that greatly startled the former.
— Physical elimination, directly solving the problem once and for all.
Regarding this proposal, Kosma was not only shocked but also couldn’t help shrinking his neck.
He indeed wanted to punish those people, but this punishment shouldn’t go as far as directly sending them to their deaths.
Also, this seemingly cute older sister… seemed a bit scary.
“Don’t look at me with those eyes. I’ve never killed anyone… well, probably?”
Saying this, the girl thought about those people who died loyally in Nagazora City and the 2nd Herrscher… well, the former committed suicide, and the latter… the latter was a Herrscher, so doesn’t count as human!
This vague statement directly made Kosma instinctively step back a few paces.
“…”
“Come on, how could a cute girl like me do such things?”
Noticing this action, 【Elysia】 slapped Kosma on the head, somewhat annoyed.
— The reason he sought out Sakura was actually for this point.
Although Jiang Qiao didn’t mind getting blood on his hands, if possible, he still wanted to keep 【Elysia】 from getting bloodstained as much as possible.
If her hands became covered in blood, he wouldn’t know how to explain it to the body’s owner.
“…You’re really amazing.”
Looking at that expression without any falsehood, Kosma breathed a sigh of relief, but then recalling the scenes from just now, he couldn’t help speaking up.
When speaking, this boy’s eyes were shining.
Beating up thugs with ease and such — this kind of scene obviously only existed in movies and manga, right?
If it weren’t for his natural wariness, and the fact that 【Elysia】 identity was somewhat unclear, Kosma at this moment would probably want to kneel down and acknowledge her as his master.
If he could learn this big sister’s skills, becoming a hero and such would be just around the corner, wouldn’t it?
“Mm-hmm~ Amazing, right?”
Looking at the boy with shining eyes, 【Elysia】 felt somewhat proud, while a cunning gleam flashed in her eyes, as if she had thought of something interesting.
Like a fairy tempting others, the pink girl’s tone changed slightly, speaking with great allure:
“Want to learn?”
“Yes!”
“Oh my, your voice is too quiet, I can’t quite hear it.”
“YES!!”
“Could you be a bit louder?”
“YES!!!”
At this moment, Kosma shouted until his face turned red.
“Good, very spirited!”
The satisfied pink girl nodded, then held her head high and chest out, like a teacher, extremely serious:
“Then, let me teach you how to become a qualified girl!!”
“Okay…?”
Instinctively wanting to say okay, but after realizing what was said, Kosma was instantly stunned.
His gaze, full of confusion and disbelief, met Jiang’s smiling expression.
“Mm-hmm~ If you want to become as amazing as 【me】, the first step is naturally to learn how to become a girl first~”
“…(Is she serious?)”
Looking at 【Elysia】 serious appearance without a hint of falsehood, Kosma had such thoughts beneath his dumbfounded expression.
She’s just messing with me, right?
The image of this stranger big sister who he originally thought was amazing and somewhat admired rapidly declined after the teaching policy of “become a qualified girl,” even arousing some wariness.
Although he didn’t detect Jiang’s malicious intent, his natural alertness told Kosma that if he continued to stay like this, he might be in trouble.
“Sorry, I still have things to do at home, so I’ll leave first!”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Kosma fled the battlefield.
The pink girl who remained in place was stunned, then showed a somewhat annoyed expression.
“Seems like I was a bit too proactive.”
She had originally wanted to turn Kosma, who yearned to become a “hero,” into a Kosma who yearned for the “fairy.”
That way, the subsequent scenes would definitely be very interesting.
But unfortunately, it seemed to have failed.
However, it didn’t matter. For such interesting things, Jiang Qiao had abundant patience to slowly realize them.
But… it felt like she had forgotten something.
What could it be?
【Elysia】 touched her chin, thought for a long while, and finally gave up thinking.
Forget it, taking a taxi to the 4th Research Department was more important!
Jiang Qiao, who walked out of the alley thinking this, finally discovered an extremely crucial problem.
Where’s the money?
…
The ship voyage was really quite boring and tedious. Even though Bronya brought quite a few games, Elysia wasn’t the type who loved games—especially since she was being one-sidedly beaten by Bronya.
Fortunately, there was a chat group in her head with very little presence, and chatting with group friends could provide some interesting stories to pass the time.
For example, on Hu Tao’s side, some girl as lively as her appeared from who knows where — and like that Mr. Zhongli, became a guest advisor for her Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
Yunyun was complaining about meeting her childhood friend, and her childhood friend had also teamed up with some strange perverted man as teammates… because she had no teammates, Yunyun wanted to invite group friends to act as her adventure teammates.
Flipping through the chat records, looking at these group friends’ interesting stories, Elysia pillowed her head on the pillow, very curious about what the bad Jiang Qiao was doing at this time, but feeling somewhat drowsy, she gradually entered dreamland.
In her dream, she saw a very cute girl.
— The kind that involves bondage play!
