Chapter 26.62 Keling and Grace
After standing still for about three hours, my legs were so numb I wanted to sit down, but being stared at by those glowing eyes, my legs started to tremble. This was a sign that I had reached my limit, and there was another serious problem.
I needed to pee.
But, but!
There was no way I could go to the bathroom right now!
This damned giant snake was staring at me, what could I do! It was despairing, okay!
If only I hadn’t taken off my bloomers. At least if I really couldn’t hold it, they could have absorbed some of it… But now, if I couldn’t hold it, it would just run down my thighs—…
Aaaah!
No!
For someone like me, a beautiful girl, to have wet myself twice in one day, it was too shameful!
It was simply the biggest dark history of my life, not elegant at all! If my brother found out, forget my perfect little sister image, even my girl image would be completely ruined… In that case, the world might as well end!
To prevent such a tragedy, I decided I couldn’t go on like this!
I couldn’t endure it anymore, physically or mentally!
Wasn’t I locked in here!
How was I supposed to go back!
Although it felt dangerous to act rashly, how would I know if I didn’t try?
My brother always said that you had to try before you could conclude anything. Giving up without even trying was simply pathetic!
Anyway, the task remained the same: observe first, gather information, and from all the useful information, formulate an effective plan.
I noticed that these black-haired giant pythons weren’t all guarding Kaoru Tsukiyose. There were a total of nine, a hydra.
Three of them were basically out of this nest for most of the time and wouldn’t return. I guessed they had extended far away to ‘hunt.’ In the past three hours, I had only seen them once, and they left after less than a few minutes.
And three of them were like city guards, patrolling the nearby streets. The black-haired giant python that brought me here earlier was one of these three.
I gave it a name, Mimi, and the other two were named Jingjing and Tiantian.
These three would patrol in different directions and swallow everything alive they encountered. The evidence was that every time they returned, the bloody smell on them became stronger.
Especially Mimi, it was definitely the most ferocious one… Huh? You ask how I could tell them apart?
Actually, it wasn’t particularly difficult to distinguish which of the nine giant pythons was which.
However, this was only for us girls. I thought it would be difficult for boys to tell the difference.
Because the difference between these giant pythons lay in their different ‘braiding’ methods.
Just like how there were two-strand braids and three-strand braids, the body structure of these nine giant pythons, or the way their hair was braided, was also different.
And then, it was actually because I only needed to distinguish these three. The other three had very obvious characteristics.
These three would surround her, from the inside out. Let’s call them the first, second, and third rings.
The outermost python had a coronet, the middle one had a hood like a cobra, and the innermost one, while lacking obvious external features, was clearly larger than the others and… had pupils that emitted red light.
The giant python that was staring at me non-stop was the innermost one.
Why were you staring at me like that, you perverted hair snake!
Even if I’m cute, staring at people constantly is rude, you know! Only my brother can stare wherever he wants, but not a monster like you!
Even so, I couldn’t do anything right now… Damn it!
And these hair snakes, even though they were extended from Kaoru Tsukiyose’s hair, they didn’t get tangled with each other, they were amazing… So, do these hairs really have their own consciousness?
No, not necessarily. Maybe like robots, they acted according to set programs.
If only that were the case… If the settings were regular, then as long as I observed patiently, I would definitely find a ‘safe zone.’
Unfortunately, God knows whether these giant pythons woven from hair truly had consciousness or were acting according to set programs…
At least the one staring at me felt like it had a ‘soul.’
…No, I’m about to burst.
I can’t hold it any longer!
Now is the time to make a decision!
Let’s take a gamble and try it!
And I still had my ultimate trump card that I hadn’t used yet… Now is the time to show my true skills!
I made up my mind, no matter what, I had to take this step now!
The worst-case scenarios were either wetting myself and experiencing psychological death here, or being swallowed whole by the giant pythons and experiencing physical death.
Just like my brother said, after considering the worst possibilities, the feeling of ‘it’s just like that’ would arise in my heart, and naturally, an extraordinary courage would emerge.
My trembling legs took a step forward.
Escaping was impossible to think about. I had no confidence I could escape the dragnet of the patrolling Mimi and the others, let alone the outermost three giant pythons capable of pursuit over long distances… So I decided to move inwards.
Those three giant pythons, at least, seemed ‘docile.’ If I could break through these three rings, I would reach Kaoru Tsukiyose, that gothic lolita girl.
I believe that by her side, these giant pythons would definitely not harm me… But that was assuming I could actually get there?
No, no, no, now is not the time to consider possibilities, I don’t have that much time to leisurely think about it!
Regardless of distance or probability, this was the best choice!
Although it might be a more dangerous path… Gambling always involves risks!
The patrolling giant pythons would return about once every half hour, meaning I had to get inside within this half hour, otherwise, it would be all over once the patrolling pythons returned.
I slowly moved my body, not even a small step, I felt like I was dragging myself along the ground, making a rustling sound.
But these giant pythons were not sensitive to sound. Perhaps it was because snakes originally had no hearing, and snakes made of hair even less so.
Approaching the third ring… The outermost one just circles around. There’s about half a meter of space between its body and head… Timing it right….. I’ll pass right in front of it!
With a sidestep, almost brushing its head, I slipped through without touching the giant python.
As I thought, as long as I didn’t touch it, the third ring wouldn’t react!
Phew. First hurdle cleared, next is the second hurdle!
The second ring was even simpler, I just ran!
Just run with all your might!
The second ring would launch hair strands from a distance to entangle and swallow intruders… But in other words, it only attacked from afar!
As long as I wasn’t entangled by the hair strands it shot out!
This was a battle of speed—and also… luck.
Activating Destiny Power.
[Everything is possible]
1% = 10%
Evasion rate is—. 100%!
I couldn’t dodge raindrops when it rained, but this level of long-range attack….. I could completely evade it!
Various attacks “grazed” past me, looking perilous; but in reality, it was not so.
The moment I used this ability, this situation became inevitable.
This was probabilistic absolute victory!
Amidst the dazzling spray of hair strands, I didn’t even dodge. I walked leisurely, maintaining my elegance.
They traced my silhouette but didn’t touch my body. Zero hits, all misses, what you’d call ‘human outline.’
Finally, I passed through the barrage of attacks and reached the last barrier, the innermost ring which was completely impenetrable. Kaoru Tsukiyose was less than ten meters away from me.
But at that moment, the last giant python with glowing pupils suddenly spoke.
“Hmph, you’re quite smart, but don’t waste your effort, little girl. I won’t let you get close to Xun.”
It could… talk!
5 Mi.
“The other heads are just brainless. Only I, Hair Grandpa, share Xun’s soul. I brought you here because you looked familiar. Rather than letting you be chased by all sorts of riff-raff outside, I brought you here.”
“So…. you’re protecting me?”
“Hmph, you’re thinking too much. I’m just using you as bait.”
Still a tsundere.
So, I wasted all this time for nothing!
My legs were numb from standing!
“Why didn’t you tell me you could talk earlier!”
“Did you ask me?”
“…No one with common sense would think a snake could talk! And it’s made of hair!”
“Ordinary snakes certainly wouldn’t, but do I look like an ordinary snake? And, Hair Grandpa isn’t a snake either. This form is only due to the influence of blood. Did you think I wanted to turn into this ghastly appearance?”
“Then why were you staring at me!”
“I was bored. Watching you fight with the air by yourself was quite interesting. You’re just like that guy, you have so many thoughts churning inside, hahaha!”
So annoying! A disgusting snake with malicious taste!
Oh well, it was a false alarm.
It seemed these hair snakes were allies, not enemies.
…Finally, I didn’t have to worry about being lost anymore.
…Ah…. No! Relaxing suddenly, the tightly closed valve couldn’t be held anymore.
I curled up, leaned forward, clenched my legs tightly, and pressed my hands below my stomach, but it was no use.
A part of it was already coming out…
A few drops leaked out…
Flowing down my thighs, gradually turning into a stream….
The stream turned into a surging river…
*Pfft—*
It burst out… Even the white apron part at the front hem of the maid outfit became wet…
Warm, wet, I wanted to cry.
“Mmm….”
Seeing this scene, a certain damned hair snake turned its head, squinted its eyes, and flicked its tongue as if unbearable, saying,
“…Indeed, like brother, like sister. You siblings are both too perverted. You even like playing the public urination game, sigh. Play your own perverted games, but don’t corrupt my Xun.”
“You’re the pervert! Your whole family is perverted! I, I’m not a pervert, it’s just… holding it… This is all your fault! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have held on until…. Woo woo woo woo.”
Tearfully, I started to cry. Now I was really…. everywhere.
The result was…. twice in one day…. wetting myself…..
I wanted to die…
A girl’s purity, grace, and modesty… ruined in an instant.
The only stroke of luck in misfortune was that my brother and Xinran weren’t present….
“Huh? Keling! What are you doing here!”
That voice… Xinran!
Why at a time like this?
My maiden dignity was already shattered into millions of pieces.
No one stop me! I’m going to die!
