Chapter 117: So Cute
“So I came to compensate you, didn’t I?”
Tang Nai’s words did not annoy Lan Duo; she seemed impervious to anger at the moment.
“So what do you want to do? Give me a million?”
It was indeed true that Lan Duo needed money, but she was not the kind of woman who could be bought with wealth. The so-called million was merely a casual remark; in reality, even if offered more, she…
“A million? Don’t underestimate me. Why not mention a bigger number, like a small goal?”
Tang Nai’s voice drifted into Lan Duo’s ears, making the latter involuntarily swallow hard, her face showing a look of conflict.
Damn, that’s a bit too much!
No, I must overcome my desires; I cannot succumb to it. It’s just money; I can earn it myself…
“I know you wouldn’t want it, so let’s forget about the money.”
This guy is indeed a trickster!
Hearing this, Lan Duo immediately shut her mouth, not wanting to be mocked by Tang Nai any further.
“Don’t rush. Since I promised to help you solve your Dark Magic problem, I will keep my word. I’m here to provide after-sales service now—this Memory Point, relying solely on the two of you, will likely be very difficult to complete. As the saying goes, to untie a noose, one must be the one who tied it; I happen to have a way to help you light up a perfect additional ending.”
Indeed, Tang Nai’s illusion had vanished, and torturing Lan Duo was meaningless; Sumu couldn’t find a better solution for now.
But speaking of after-sales…
Lan Duo bit her lip, regretting having agreed to let Tang Nai take the photo.
To be honest, the photo wasn’t bad, and the expression on Luo Jialan’s face, filled with tenacity, dispelled the original seductive intent, making it look more like a work of art.
It was like the famous painting of a lady on horseback, where the protagonist’s naked body was exposed to the public eye, yet it gave no hints in any aspect; instead, it made one unwittingly immersed in that story, captivated by her beauty that transcended physical form.
But Lan Duo knew that was proof of humiliation.
She accepted Tang Nai’s conditions, became her Magical Girl, and subsequently accrued quite a bit of debt to her.
She admitted that Tang Nai’s salary made things much easier for her, but if she could, she wished to choose according to her own will.
She might prefer to be a Free Magical Girl like Ning Xi rather than be dispatched by Tang Nai, having to vent her anger on Monsters.
But one thing she was clear about was that Tang Nai would never go back on her word and was absolutely reliable.
Whatever she promised, no matter how unbelievable it sounded, would definitely be fulfilled.
“If you want to try, come closer. And Sumu, you come over too and place your hand underneath.”
Caught off guard, Sumu was suddenly called, pointing at himself in confusion, as if to say, “Are you calling me?” After receiving a nod from Tang Nai, he obediently approached and extended his hand.
Lan Duo stacked her hand on top of Sumu’s hand. Her hand was a size smaller than Sumu’s, and as soon as Sumu’s gaze touched her fingertips, he couldn’t help but blush; Tang Nai saw this reaction and her smile grew even more pronounced.
“Alright, now close your eyes and don’t move.”
The two girls exchanged glances and then shut their eyes; the feeling of closing one’s eyes in a dream is different from reality, where nothing truly appears before them. Instead of a pitch-black void, it felt more like losing vision.
For a moment, their bodies became light, as if submerged in the deep sea, and lethargy overwhelmed them, making them want to go with the flow and not move any further.
If they weren’t careful, they might have almost fallen asleep.
Sumu furrowed his brow, wanting to struggle out of this comfortable feeling.
This bed is so soft; sleeping a bit longer wouldn’t hurt…
Not at all.
The alarm rang, and Sumu jolted up from the bed, sleepily pressing the alarm off, then groggily shuffling in his pajamas toward the sink.
Today is somewhat important.
Splashing cold water on his face, Sumu looked at his still somewhat dull eyes in the mirror and couldn’t help but sigh.
The symptoms of sinking are truly troublesome.
He skillfully brushed aside his long pink hair, now messy from the night’s sleep, and slowly combed it, making him look more like Suya. His height had also grown to match her level.
I am Sumu, a few years graduated from college without finding a job; thankfully, I barely qualify as the highest officer among Magical Girls, so at least I have a decent job.
When Monsters were rampant, the pay was quite good, but now that things have calmed down, it’s getting troublesome.
Not only is there no money or magic power, but I also have to deal with these very troublesome Magical Girls.
However, today I’ve found a new promising candidate, and I hope she can be a bit obedient.
Spitting out the mouthwash, Sumu glanced at the clock, confirming there wasn’t enough time left before letting out a sigh and using magic to clean himself up.
A bit wasteful, and definitely no living.
But if I don’t hurry, the milk tea will get cold.
Moments later, having finished breakfast in the computer room, Sumu decided to play a game for a while before Lan Duo arrived.
Hey, speaking of which, I don’t think I love playing games that much.
Meanwhile, Lan Duo, awakened by “Miti,” felt a bit disoriented but followed her to the café.
“You have the qualifications to become a Magical Girl, but I feel like your condition is still a bit poor. You should come with me to ask Big Sister Irina.”
“Irina?”
Walking behind “Miti,” Lan Duo repeated the name that caught her interest from what was said.
Though Miti’s smile seemed somewhat… sinister? she was the one who saved her from feeling uncomfortable, so Lan Duo didn’t need to deceive herself.
Last night, after Luo Linglan left, Lan Duo’s body still hadn’t fully recovered. Thankfully Miti had shown up just in time; otherwise, she didn’t know what she might have done.
But she still felt something was off.
Lan Duo shook her head; maybe it was just that she hadn’t fully woken up yet.
“Big Sister Irina is inside. You can go in yourself; I need to visit the restroom first.”
Upon reaching the café entrance, before Lan Duo could refuse, Miti dashed in a certain direction, appearing quite hurried.
Feeling puzzled, Lan Duo could only slowly head inside.
Her feet touched the soft carpet as she walked through the cozy, comfortable sofa area, which was empty except for the warm yellow lights hovering around her. Helplessly, she continued walking deeper in.
At the end of the hallway, she noticed flickering blue light seeping from beneath a door, instantly capturing her attention.
Without thinking, she pushed open the door and then saw the pink-haired girl with headphones.
The sight that suddenly came into view made Lan Duo gasp and instinctively sneak closer.
So cute.
