Episode 6: The World Crisis is Close At Hand, Part Two
Warm Winter Sun.
It’s already December, and seeing the sun like this is quite rare.
Did the weather get better after I interacted with Lou Yi just now? Could Lou Yi’s mood actually be connected to the weather?
After all, she is the world itself, so it’s not strange that she could cause such a phenomenon.
In the end, I managed to win over Lou Yi with just a bento box. It was much simpler than I imagined, almost as easy as Li Nai… Ah, I can’t say Li Nai is easy to win over right now either. After all, it was only by agreeing to go on a New Year’s trip with her that I managed to persuade her to act as a mediator to resolve the situation with Lianbing and the others.
Returning to the classroom, Li Nai looked at me with a smile, still wearing that idiotic grin.
But I have a feeling that I’ll be extorted by her from now on. I hope my premonition doesn’t come true. Li Nai wouldn’t sell me out, would she?
In any case, the next thing I need to do is simple: find any clues related to Xue Qing and the others. That way, I’ll know their whereabouts.
When it comes to gathering information, the most reliable source is Lan. But Lan is so shy right now, she can’t even meet my eyes…
She might hate even being followed, let alone prying information out of her.
So, what other information do I have?
Of course, there’s my reliable best friend, the pervert A Liang.
So, after the first class in the afternoon, I immediately went looking for A Liang.
“A Liang, got a minute?”
A Liang was tidying his desk. Seeing me approach him enthusiastically, he pushed up his glasses and said calmly.
“…Juncheng, what’s up?”
It seems A Liang still recognizes me. That’s a relief. If A Liang had given me a look of “Do I know you?” it would have been awkward.
Ling said she created character relationships based on my memories, so A Liang and the others’ relationships with me are also “friends.”
It’s well-recreated.
This makes things much easier; no need to try and curry favor.
“Yeah, let’s talk outside.”
I slung an arm around A Liang’s shoulder and led him out of the classroom to the corridor by the window.
“Unusual for you to abandon your flirtatious time with girls to find me, a man?”
“Don’t say it like that, it makes it sound like I’m always hitting on girls.”
“Aren’t you? I just saw you intimately playing a feeding game with the transfer student in the courtyard. You’ve only been here for two days, and you’ve already hooked up with her. Even the protagonist of a Galgame (Dating Simulation Game) doesn’t have a faster conquest speed than you.”
“You saw that, huh? As expected of you.”
So, the pervert’s passive skill really exists. Is it soul-bound?
“That transfer student ignores everyone, but her attitude towards you seems a bit different. Did you know each other before?”
“Yeah, we live together.”
Hearing this, A Liang couldn’t help but look at me sideways, giving me a sympathetic look.
“What’s with the look?”
“Sympathy. You’re already drowning in a Shura Field (a chaotic, often romantic, confrontation), and now you’re even living with another woman. I can already see the ending where your head gets chopped off.”
“Whoa, really? Your relationships are that messy? For high school students, this kind of impure inter-gender interaction is too much. This is heading towards a Kitchen Knife ending.”
“Would you believe me if I said I actually refused?”
“No. Anyway, I’m an outsider, I can’t control anything. But you guys aren’t using protection, are you?”
“They all seem to have the goal of becoming high school wives.”
“How exciting. You’re quite the scum, but as a man, I admire you. At least dying from pleasure is better than other ways of dying, right?”
The most crucial point is that I can’t even die from pleasure, which is truly…
“Never mind that, I came to ask for information.”
“What information?”
“Have you seen any unusual lolis recently? Like…”
“Hello, 110?…”
“Don’t misunderstand!”
“Otherwise, what could it be? You already have a harem, and you still want to target the younger ones?”
“It’s not like that. There are just three lolis, and I have to go find them… Ah, maybe they aren’t lolis anymore at this point.”
“What is it, then?”
“Well, anyway, A Liang, have you seen any white-haired women recently, or women with brilliant blonde hair?”
Besides being lolis, Xue Qing’s most obvious characteristic is her white hair.
Finding just one of them would be good.
“White hair… that’s quite a striking feature…”
A Liang pondered, then shook his head under my expectant gaze.
“No. If you mean grandmothers, I’ve seen them, but you’re not looking for grandmothers, are you?”
“Yeah, not grandmothers. And you haven’t seen them either…”
This is troublesome. Do I have to wait for Lan to recover?
“However, I have seen quite a few blonde women. Are there any more specific features?”
“Oh! Yes, um, a rather haughty personality, arrogant, basically doesn’t put anyone in her eyes, very sharp-tongued, and also a loli.”
“A very arrogant blonde loli.”
That summarizes it perfectly. Xiao An is indeed an arrogant blonde loli.
“I’ve seen that one.”
“As expected… Huh? Wait, what did you say? You’ve seen her?!”
A Liang has seen Xiao An?
Really?
“Really?!”
“Why would I lie to you? Rather, it’s strange that you don’t know that, seeing as you’ve already gotten involved with most of the famous beautiful girls in school.”
Why is it strange that I don’t know this?
A Liang raised an eyebrow, looking at me as if asking, “Are you serious?”
“Because she’s in our school, and she’s quite famous. Why wouldn’t you know?”
“In our school?! Really? Oh, that’s interesting.”
Xiao An is in my school? I didn’t realize at all!
No, wait. If she’s a loli, how could she possibly be in our school? This is a high school!
“Although she’s not a loli in age, she completely fits your description.”
“She’s famous due to her peculiar appearance and identity. She’s in class one-one… Huh?”
I’m already running, my target: class one-one!
“Hey! Class is about to start!”
“Thanks! A Liang! I’ll treat you to a homemade bento next time!”
“Then I want fried chicken.”
“Ok! And it’ll come with fried pork cutlet!”
Awesome!
I didn’t expect to get news so quickly!
And she’s so close, right here in our school!
Could it be like how Stand users are attracted to each other? Because Xiao An is my F, she was attracted here too?
…It shouldn’t be. Otherwise, so many Masters of would never be able to find their Fs.
In any case! I have to go confirm it!
Before the bell rings, I sprinted to class one-one and, ignoring the astonished gazes of the students, walked straight into the classroom.
Where is she? Where is she?
Oh! Found her!
In the front row by the window, I saw the blonde loli looking out the window.
Although her hairstyle is different, she has twin tails, and she’s slightly bigger than Xiao An, but it must be Xiao An!
After all, blonde loli beauties are rare; I’ve only ever seen one, Xiao An.
To find Xiao An so quickly was beyond my expectations, so I excitedly walked up to her and happily exclaimed.
“Great! I found you!”
“Hmm? …Huh? Ya?!”
SF Light Novel
I directly lifted her under her arms, in the posture of carrying a baby, and lifted her body. This is what’s commonly known as “lifting her up.”
However, this slight change is insignificant. I’ve encountered situations where Xiao An’s body suddenly grew larger before. It’s because Xiao An’s body changes size depending on her strength.
The most important thing is that I finally found her.
“Let go of me! You pervert! What are you doing?!”
Ahaha, yes, yes, it’s that disgusted tone. It must be Xiao An.
“It’s that tone, so nostalgic…”
“Huh?! What are you talking about! Are you crazy! Go die!”
She’s resisting fiercely, isn’t she? Is she shy?
“By the way, who are you?!”
Eh? She doesn’t recognize me? Could Xiao An have amnesia too?
Impossible. How could my F not recognize me?
Is she playing a joke on me?
I tilted my head and asked ‘Xiao An’ in confusion.
“Hm? What’s wrong, Xiao An? Don’t you recognize your dad?”
Stomach.
I was kicked.
“Who’s your daughter! Pervert! Besides, you’re also a high school student! How could you have a daughter as old as me! You damn pervert! Loli-”
“Well, there are many reasons for this-”
“And who is Xiao An! Listen carefully! You damn pervert Lolicon! My name is ZHAO! ZI! LI!”
…Huh?
Wait, Zhao Zi Li… that doesn’t sound like a fake name. This ‘Xiao An’ truly doesn’t recognize me at all.
But she looks so much like Xiao An. Both are blonde lo— … Did I make a mistake?
No, where’s Xiao An?
Then who are you! Why are you impersonating my precious daughter!
