Chapter: 97. The Loli-Con’s Comrade
——Did I expose myself?
When Nagi heard that the man in the white uniform in front of her wanted to take her for a private examination, her heart skipped a beat.
As the founder of the special circle SEMA and the three major academies, she immediately recognized that the uniform belonged to Tsukigami Academy.
The power of the person opposite her was uncertain, but by the aura they projected, it was clear they were at least a formidable ACE.
Considering that the person intended to use an excuse to lead her into an area that had already been set as a trap, Nagi did not plan to follow—
But when she saw Kanade walking beside her, her attention was involuntarily drawn to his slender legs wrapped in white stockings, and she instinctively began to step in his direction.
Unconsciously, she had already reached out her small hand toward the hand that Kanade had left free.
He was momentarily taken aback, but quickly regained composure and firmly grasped her pale, soft yet slightly trembling little hand.
At that moment, they appeared nearly ten years apart in age, and to an outsider, it looked like a warm scene of a clingy little sister holding hands with a gentle older brother—
If only their faces weren’t tinged with a faint blush.
Seeing this scene, Kurokawa silently reevaluated Kanade with the label “perverted loli-con” in his mind.
As they exited the medical area along the corridor, the three of them arrived at the courtyard of Zone Zero.
In this garden-like environment, it was a place for researchers at Ark Academy to relax.
And on the white bench in the courtyard, someone had been waiting for a long time.
It was a petite and delicate-looking girl, her height nearly matching that of Nagi now, though the long ahoge on her head made her appear slightly taller than Nagi.
From any angle, she seemed like an innocent and adorable little girl.
But the moment Nagi saw her, she was startled.
The girl’s ruby-red eyes indicated her identity as a fantasy monster.
Nagi was incredibly familiar with the girl’s appearance.
Because she, or rather, it should be referred to as “He,” was the famously powerful fantasy monster from the original “Star Pull 2,” also known as one of the “Ten Pillars”—Midrash.
She was a particularly tricky and cheat-like fantasy monster.
And she was one of the fantasy monsters that Nagi had wanted to subjugate in her previous life but had failed to do so.
However, this wasn’t the reason for her surprise.
What she was genuinely concerned about was—
“Pop.”
The girl named Midrash pulled a popsicle from her mouth, producing a crisp sound.
“Master~ Mimi is waiting so patiently here for you~ Compliment me~” Midrash cheerfully ran over to Kurokawa and, as if acting spoiled, leaned her head against him.
But unfortunately, due to their height difference, her head was awkwardly nestled against Kurokawa’s abdomen, making the whole scene look—
“Hey, hey! Little Mimi, didn’t I tell you not to do things like this outside that might lead to misunderstandings?!” Kurokawa, who had been looking cold and serious just a moment ago, couldn’t help but show a panicked expression now.
“(Staring)” Kanade gave Kurokawa a complicated glance.
And the latter, as if wanting to clarify something, pulled Midrash away to a safer distance.
“L-little Mimi, if you don’t eat that popsicle soon, it will melt!”
But because his movements were somewhat stiff, it appeared overly conspicuous to others.
—So, this guy is actually a perverted loli-con!? And he’s made a move on Midrash!?
Nagi was shocked.
She then recalled Kanade walking beside her, and how their relationship didn’t seem ordinary—
—Could it be that these two are actually comrades in their loli-con pursuits?!
—Is Kanade about to revert to his true nature!? All of my efforts have been in vain!
In the original “Star Pull 2,” Tsukigami Kanade was often teased by players for being a loli-con or a “justice executor.”
Although the plot never explicitly stated that he liked underdeveloped girls, there were HCGs in every heroine’s route where Tsukigami Kanade would use his powers to turn them into lolis, and the events were notably intense compared to regular H-events. As a result, he naturally earned the title of “loli-con.” Similarly, players with such preferences referred to him as the “justice executor,” implying that he acted out what those players would have wanted to do.
Indeed, Hydra is a fantasy monster in “Star Pull 2,” and one of the fantasy monsters with whom Tsukigami Kanade can form a contract.
As long as players had enough remaining actions to use Tsukigami Kanade’s “turns” for intimate events with the heroines, they could unlock very suggestive developments and HCGs.
Thinking of this, Nagi couldn’t help but glance down at her currently petite and youthful body.
Scenes from “Star Pull 2” flashed through her mind of “little girls floating and trembling, unable to reach the ground” in CGs—
Nagi’s legs, wrapped in pale skin, clamped together uncontrollably, and a faint “peep” sound almost escaped from somewhere.
—An emergency is happening!
Nagi’s youthful and adorable face had somehow taken on a blush that absolutely didn’t belong to a girl of her age.
This strikingly suggestive blush, combined with her small and innocent appearance, made her exude an unimaginable sensuality at that moment.
Just then, Midrash’s words pulled Nagi’s mind back to reality.
“Oh right~ Mimi’s popsicle almost melted…” Midrash said as she extended her little tongue and licked from the bottom of the popsicle upwards, not knowing whether it was because the popsicle was vanilla-flavored, but the melted part turned into a very thick white liquid.
—Why does eating a popsicle have to look so suggestive!?
Nagi was shocked again.
“(Staring)” Kanade’s gaze towards Kurokawa grew even colder, and just then, he caught a glimpse of Nagi staring intently at Midrash.
“Could it be…..” Kanade, realizing something, secretly showed a look of regret.
It makes sense; since little Nagi has turned into a little girl, seeing another child with something to eat would definitely make her want it, right….. I didn’t even notice that just now.
With this thought in mind, Kanade turned to the hand he was holding next to him, speaking to Nagi.
“Do you want a popsicle too, little Nagi? I’ll buy you one.”
“Eh!?” Hearing this, Nagi’s eyes widened, looking up at Kanade, her mouth forming a shape of a square due to her overwhelming surprise.
—Does Kanade, Kanade-kun also want me to eat the popsicle in such a suggestive manner?!
—But I have absolutely no, no experience in that… experience?!
—C-could it be Kanade is planning to let me learn through this, and then…
With her face flushed, Nagi’s mouth opened wide and transformed into a panic-stricken wave-like shape.
“Hm? Little Nagi, your face is so red… are you feeling unwell?”
Kanade, noticing this, didn’t realize Nagi was trembling, but rather squatted down with worry.
In Kanade’s eyes, she might be affected by various extraordinary forces right now.
If his reckless actions put little Nagi in danger, that would be a problem—
Thinking this, Kanade naturally pressed his forehead against Nagi’s, wanting to check her temperature.
As for why he didn’t use his hands, it was because one was wrapped in plaster while the other was tightly holding Nagi’s hand.
“Kanade, Kanade, Kanade…..”
Seeing Kanade’s face drawing closer, Nagi’s voice became shaky, and her eyes turned into swirling patterns.
—My, my mental preparation isn’t ready yet…..
With their faces so close that they could feel each other’s breath and warmth.
Thump thump.
The chaotic sound of her heartbeat filled Nagi’s ears.
—Is it because I’m a kid that my heart is racing so fast?
—Is it okay for my heart to race this quickly? Right now, I’m in an ordinary person’s body…
Nagi felt a bit lightheaded.
Just when Nagi thought her heart might explode—
“Cough, cough.”
Kurokawa’s timely cough caught the attention of both Kanade and Nagi.
As Kanade turned his head toward Kurokawa in confusion, Nagi hurriedly turned her face, which was as red as a ripe fruit, in the opposite direction.
“Um, this is a public place, please restrain your loli-con… ah no, some radical behavior.”
“Huh? I’m not… rather, what qualifications do you, loli-con, have to say that?!”
