Some People Walk a Lifetime's Road in a Single Day (Continued)

Firefly: "..."

This guy...

No, although I already had little confidence, I'm even less confident now.

Even though Firefly had pure expectations of Liu Bai, she knew in her heart who was more "tempting" right now.

Yes, it is tempting.

Kafka is now completely focused on seducing Liu Bai.

Although Firefly wanted to stop it, she couldn't do anything to Kafka because Liu Bai was there.

Moreover... she might not be able to withstand a sudden attack from Kafka.

Kafka's power of Words of Power is still very strong. Even though suppressing the Mara-Struck of the blade is a bit of a trick—after all, Kafka can't control the blade. When she grabbed the blade, she first beat it half to death and then held it down to let Kafka use her Words of Power.

But for her now, Kafka might... actually be able to control herself.

This is very troublesome. Not to mention that Liu Wubai can't stop making a move in the arena, even if she really makes a move, she has no confidence in overthrowing Kafka.

In addition, she still has something on her hands.

Kafka made no attempt to hide her identity as Stellaron Hunters.

And she... she had long ago established the persona of a fragile young girl.

He even spoke ill of the Stellaron Hunters to Liu Bai more than once.

If we were to tear down that persona now...

While Firefly was struggling with her decision, Kafka, who had changed back into her usual clothes, came out with a bag, paid at the front desk, and then returned to Liu Bai's side.

"Hmm... I feel like we've been walking around for quite a while now, I'm tired."

Kafka described herself as if she were just an ordinary working woman.

We did shop for quite a while, and Kafka kept buying things along the way. Firefly was also taken along and bought a few clothes and dresses.

Compared to the girls in her family, Kafka seemed somewhat "ambitious".

Is it an emotional compensation mechanism?

It seems that there are also signs of this in the Acheron.

However, Kafka was not afraid, Acheron was driven by lust first.

... I feel that the latter might actually destroy my kidneys.

"How about we find a place to have lunch?"

Kafka put her arm around Liu Bai's arm— Liu Bai sensed murderous gazes beginning to appear around them.

After all, it's quite eye-catching to go shopping with two beautiful women, one alluring and the other innocent.

However, after strolling around all morning, Liu Bai had already gotten used to it.

—Including now when Kafka is hugging her own arm.

Just like a seal showing off its card, the first time (it was hesitant and evasive), the second, third and third time it was completely undisguised. I am the seal king, and I'm going to show off my seal.

Liu Bai is the same. At first, he felt itchy all over and uncomfortable, but now he has a mindset that is hard to say whether it is giving up or being carefree, like, "Yes, I am the winner in life. If you have the guts, hit me."

... But speaking of which, it feels like the word "seal" is slowly becoming an old meme in anime and manga.

Even now, Liu Bai's arms feel a sense of familiarity with Kafka's chest shape.

Incidentally, Firefly also witnessed how Liu Bai gradually adapted to Kafka's affectionate touch.

From the beginning when Liu Bai said "Don't do this," to the middle when he said "You're too close," to "Shouldn't you be more mindful of the impact?", and finally to the point where Liu Bai doesn't react at all when they're completely pressed together.

It's like... Kafka lived her entire life in one morning.

It's unbearable to repair!

Isn't this a complete defeat?

"... It really is noon." Bai called out the navigation on his bracelet. Kafka put her arm around Liu Bai's Liu Bai and leaned close to Liu Bai as they looked at a document.

Well, Liu Bai's movement of raising his arm could also touch some places he shouldn't have.

At first, he had to politely apologize, but with Kafka's repeated "It's okay," "I'm not angry," and "If you're happy, it's okay to touch her directly," Liu Bai has now become accustomed to the trembling of Kafka's chest when he touches her.

Thinking about it carefully, this might be a form of manipulation used by a bad woman...

We have to do something; we can't let Kafka continue to be so arrogant.

All the way, she felt like a shining light bulb! She even received a lot of sympathetic glances!

Having made up her mind, Firefly took a deep breath, first cautiously reaching out her hand, then grabbing Liu Bai's hand that was leaning on the chair, before moving over like a thief, looking nervously at the navigation map that Liu Bai had displayed.

I got it!

Win--!

... No, isn't this just making me look even more like a loser?

Mingming herself, A, and Shan Liu Bai had just descended to earth when she abandoned them and held Liubai's hand, running for quite a distance.

Why should we be so excited just because we touched each other's hands...?

"Hmm... the nearest restaurant seems to be outside on the street."

Liu Bai withdrew his hand and swiped the screen.

Firefly: "..."

Now I can't even touch hands!

Well, at least this almost zero-distance intimate contact can offer some comfort for now.

Then Firefly sensed Kafka's smile.

"?"

Provocative?

"There are restaurants just outside this street."

Liu Bai stood up, and Kafka and Liu Bai Firefly suit.

"Even though it's a fast food restaurant... can we eat fast food here?"

"It's not a bad thing to eat a high-calorie meal occasionally."

"Me too!"

Neither Kafka nor Firefly had any objections.

"... Would you like to hold hands, Firefly?"

Liu Bai glanced at Firefly, who had told him and Kafka to go out first.

Firefly followed along like this all the way.

When others are described as "base," it's in a despicable way, but it sounds like you're being utterly pathetic...

If I don't take the initiative, I feel like Firefly 'm going to get depressed.

Anyway (I don't care about saving face anymore), I'm already a winner in life, so abandoning the idea of "leaving the left and embracing the right" isn't a problem.

N

"Huh? Is it... okay?"

Firefly's expression visibly brightened.

[Firefly's Affection Level: 8587]

[Kafka's Affection Level: 7779]

"Huh? Is that okay?"

"Can."

As Liu Bai answered, he gave Kafka a strange look.

What kind of favorability are you adding? And your initial favorability level is way too high, isn't it?

So what you said before wasn't just bullshit?

Do I have any "Stellaron Hunters Affinity"?

Kafka's face still wore the same smile as always.

Although Liu Bai could sometimes barely discern the meaning behind Kafka's smile, now Kafka's smile was the "default expression," making it impossible to decipher.

The Firefly, very tiny and cautious, took Liu Bai's hand.

"We're ready to go!"

"... Why are there so many people at this fast food restaurant? Hmm... Hoomas collaboration single meal? Randomly given away Hoomas figurines? Wow..."

Liu Bai didn't really understand what made Hoomas endearing.

Well, it's not that I can't understand it, but Liu Bai feels that it's wrong to make a cute doll with a normal expression into an "ugly-cute" expression when they could have drawn a normal one.

"Hoomas?"

"This is a very famous children's comic book place," Bai explained to Firefly. "So, should we wait in line or go somewhere else?"

Surprisingly, it wasn't the "kids' meal".

But surprisingly, it's understandable, for example... children's comics are ultimately not meant for children.

However, despite the large number of people, the fast food restaurant wasn't full; in fact, there weren't many people seated.

On the one hand, it's an event; on the other hand, it might be because it's lunchtime—the event might not be as popular as expected.

"You two find a seat first, I'll wait in line... one Hoomas single meal each?"

Although I'm not interested in Hoomas, I still want to join in the fun.

"Thank you very much, Boss."

Kafka smiled.

"The Firefly walked very slowly along the way; it must be tired. I helped it and took it to rest."

un

Who's tired? I was just walking slowly because I wanted to hold hands a little longer!

The Firefly cried out in its heart, but it still discerned another possible meaning.

Want to chat privately?

This is really... I don't want to talk about it at all.

However, it cannot be denied that Firefly did want to talk to Kafka.

So even though she still wanted to hold hands with Liu Bai while queuing, she ended up sitting with Kafka in a relatively quiet corner.

"Kafka, what are you trying to say now?" Firefly glanced at Liu Bai, who was in line, and asked Kafka.

She didn't need to be too polite to Kafka here.

"Hmm... Firefly, you don't want the BOSS to find out that you've been deceiving him, do you?"

"...?"

Wait! The nightmare is coming back!

That dream must have been a precognitive dream!

But...

Even if you knew it in advance, it wouldn't have made a difference.

"... What do you want to do?" Firefly tried her best to keep her tone firm.

"Listen to me... no, it's okay." Kafka rested her chin on her hands, her Words of Power just beginning when she suddenly changed her mind, and looked at Firefly with interest. "I haven't decided what to do yet."

"..."

The Firefly were silent.
