Amber’s delicate, cute face was flushed red.
She had never been this conflicted before, nor had she ever imagined that inviting Stelle over would lead to this situation.
Stelle was taking a bath in her home’s bathroom, and for some reason, Amber’s mind kept involuntarily picturing Stelle’s completely bare body.
As a result, she sat on the sofa, her cheeks burning with heat.
She tried her best to stop herself from thinking about it, but sheer willpower was completely useless.
The moment she closed her eyes, it was as if Stelle’s fair body appeared before her…
“No, no!” Amber shook her head vigorously and immediately stood up from the sofa.
With no other choice, she walked to the window and opened it to get some fresh air.
Everything felt too strange.
She could sense that Stelle had a fatal attraction to her, but at her age, she didn’t yet understand what that meant.
She simply thought Stelle was beautiful and kind, and instinctively wanted to get closer to her.
That was why she had invited Stelle to stay at her house.
On one hand, she was naturally helpful—Stelle had just arrived and didn’t have much Mora, so finding a place to stay would be difficult.
On the other hand, she wanted to interact with Stelle more and hoped they could become good friends.
Amber loved making friends.
But…
Having inappropriate thoughts about a friend’s body while they were bathing was just too strange!
“No, no, Amber, calm down.
You have to calm down!” Amber leaned against the window and patted her cheeks.
But the gentle breeze outside only brought a slight coolness—it did nothing to steady her emotions.
Why had things turned out like this?
Could this be love at first sight?
But…
could something like love at first sight happen between two girls?
Her “rabbit ears” swayed in the wind, and her eyes were filled with confusion.
“Amber?” Stelle’s voice suddenly came from behind her, making Amber’s body stiffen.
“Ah—Stelle, you’re done—” Amber turned around, but her words abruptly stopped the moment she saw Stelle.
Fresh out of the bath, Stelle still carried a faint trace of moisture, and her hair hadn’t dried yet.
That was normal, since there was no such thing as a hairdryer in this world.
The problem was what she was wearing.
Perhaps because she was indoors, she hadn’t put on her outer coat.
She wore only the loose white shirt underneath.
It seemed slightly oversized on her, with part of the hem tucked into her short skirt, while the collar hung open, revealing much of her smooth shoulders.
No—maybe it wasn’t ill-fitting.
Perhaps it was simply designed that way.
Some kind of fashion?
Amber didn’t really understand, but she knew one thing—Stelle looked far too alluring like this.
The blush on her face deepened even further.
She couldn’t even form a complete sentence.
“…This is bad.” Stelle blinked in confusion, then quickly understood what was happening with Amber.
After leaving the bathroom, she had intended to put on her coat, but seeing Amber standing by the window in a daze, she had come over to check on her without bothering to dress properly first.
She took a slightly uneasy step back.
“Um, Amber, you…” Thud!
Before Stelle could finish speaking, she heard a strange sound.
Amber’s face seemed to steam, her eyes spinning into spirals, and she collapsed straight toward her.
“Amber?!” …
“Sigh…” Stelle lay flat on the bed, letting out a troubled sigh.
After quite a bit of effort, she had finally settled Amber down.
Amber was now lying on the bed, fast asleep.
Fortunately, during the time she carried her upstairs, Amber had remained unconscious.
Otherwise, things might have become even more troublesome.
Her body really was a problem.
Luckily, Amber was still an innocent girl and wouldn’t do anything excessive to her.
As long as she didn’t take the initiative, nothing would happen.
But what if she encountered a mature woman in the future—someone experienced in this kind of thing?
She might end up getting completely taken advantage of.
Of course, her combat ability wasn’t weak.
She could resist.
But what if the other party was stronger than her?
To be honest, she didn’t even know how strong she was in this world.
There was no proper point of reference.
She had only seen Lumine and Amber fight, but neither of them had used their full strength, and their opponents had only been weak Hilichurls.
If her strength didn’t rank highly in this world, she needed to start planning ahead.
Especially now that Alisa Rand’s Lance wasn’t with her, her combat power had been reduced even further.
Traveling alone, she really needed to be more careful…
“Ugh, so boring.” Stelle rolled over.
It was already very late.
The room was dark, with only a faint sliver of moonlight coming through the window.
But she wasn’t sleepy at all.
Even though the bed was far softer and more comfortable than the ground, she still found it difficult to fall asleep, just like her first night here.
After thinking for a while, Stelle decided not to force herself.
She took her phone out of the pocket of her coat placed nearby.
There were games on it—more than enough to pass the time.
Come to think of it, ever since arriving in this world, she hadn’t really explored her phone much.
“Let’s see…” Stelle swiped through the screen, looking at the apps.
There weren’t many, but the names and icons were strange, and she couldn’t immediately tell which one was a game.
The only ones she recognized were basic functions like messages and the photo gallery.
After a moment’s thought, she opened the messages first.
It was completely empty—no chat history with anyone.
A little disappointed, she then opened the gallery.
“Huh?!” Stelle’s eyes widened.
There were actually photos inside.
And quite a lot of them.
She quickly opened them one by one.
They were probably all taken by her—various kinds.
Landscapes, people, food, and monsters.
“The Doomsday Beast, so many photos of March 7th, Cocolia…” She couldn’t understand why she had the leisure to take photos of enemies even during battle.
But compared to monsters, she cared more about the people in the photos.
March 7th, Himeko, Mr.
Welt, Dan Heng…
and Kafka.
She missed them.
“Sigh…” Stelle let out a deep sigh, her eyes filled with loneliness.
She kept scrolling through her phone, looking at one familiar face after another—people she could no longer see.
A sense of loneliness welled up in her heart.
“Where are you all…
I miss you so much…”
