Being Sold Off to Become an Idol?! (Part 2)

In Eden's room, the white-haired, heterochromatic-eyed woman sat uneasily in a chair, slowly eating the snacks Eden had given her, her every move cautious and careful.

"You look scared. Am I that scary? Or are you feeling guilty?" Eden looked at Xing, whose face practically screamed fear, and felt a little helpless. But when he thought about what the little guy had done, he immediately understood.

"Cough cough!" Upon hearing "guilty conscience," Xing almost choked to death. Eden kindly handed her a glass of water. Xing didn't think too much and drank it down in one gulp. The spicy sensation spread from her throat to her whole body.

"This isn't water..." **'s body went limp, and the glass in her hand fell to the floor, shattering into pieces. Eden swept it away without a care, then looked at the loli whose body was rapidly heating up, and said apologetically, "Sorry, it seems that drinking is still too early for you."

She was on the verge of tears, but then she thought, "Don't give me any!" She felt dizzy and tired, and this made her want to sleep even more.

"Well, I called you here mainly to talk about compensation..." Eden pulled out a long list from somewhere with a "whoosh," startling Xing into a daze. Hey, how much stuff did Theresa and Rita break? And why does she have to pay for it?

"While I'm grateful that you sealed it away, you've completely ruined my Golden Ocean Park, and that's a separate matter..." Eden looked her over with amusement, enjoying the growing fear on her face. She suddenly understood why Elysia was so eager to tease Mobius.

"By the way, I've looked at your file. It seems you have some very interesting abilities hidden. You probably don't want too many people to know about this, right?" Eden lifted her chin, deliberately provoking her emotions that were on the verge of collapse.

Eden thought to himself, "Why do I feel like my persona has collapsed? Is it because I saw my old friend's child and got too excited, so I wanted to tease her?"

"I'm not so easy to threaten!" Driven to desperation, Xing summoned the Mortal Tribulation Difficult to Cross and was about to shoot her when, in a flash, the pair of Abnormal Twin Guns were in Eden's hands.

"This power... it truly is Feather Crossing Dust." Eden gently stroked the barrel of the Mortal Tribulation Difficult to Cross, which seemed to be mourning an old friend. She looked at Xing, who was clutching her wrist in pain, and asked, "You want to kill me?"

"No, I didn't mean to hurt you. It has no physical destructive power, it will only..."

"You can only modify my consciousness? You're such a bad child." Eden Mortal Tribulation Difficult to Cross to her. "It doesn't work on me, so don't try it again. If you try to secretly shoot me again, I'll get angry."

Eden spoke very gently, as if he were correcting a child who had made a mistake.

"Mmm-hmm!" Xing nodded vigorously, she couldn't help it, she was scared!

You asked her why she was afraid?

Um, what is Xing's name for the squad?

I swear to God, I only came up with this name on a whim. I never thought that one day the Fire Moth would come knocking on my door.

Fu Hua and Pardo didn't seem to care much about these things before, but it seems she's facing something different now...

Eden straightened his appearance and sat down facing Xing, his golden eyes fixed on her, a gentle gaze concealing a sharp edge.

"Let's get back to business. How are you going to compensate me for my losses, Vice-Captain of the Fire Moth Squad, Xing Kaslana?" Eden looked at her with a half-smile, her face turning even redder, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground on the spot.

Ugh! If I had known I would be sued by the original owner for copyright infringement, I should have chosen a different one in the first place!

Seeing her reaction, Eden became more certain of his suspicions and asked the next question with amusement, "Tell me, who am I?"

"Ah? Um, Miss Ende..." Xing was shocked. Had she seen something? Just as she was about to pretend to be stupid, those soft hands pinched her cheeks. Eden's expression was still gentle, but with a touch more seriousness.

"You know what I'm asking, a second chance, who am I?"

"Miss Ende, I don't know what you're talking about." Sachi bit her tongue, trying to wake herself from the dizziness of drunkenness, and continued to pretend she didn't know.

I don't know why, but I feel like if she finds out about my special circumstances, things will turn out really badly!

But why should I be afraid of Eden? It's not like I'm Kalpas...

Just then, he remembered the special request Eden had made to Schicksal, and his brain went blank for a second.

Holy crap! She wouldn't have a crush on me, would she?! Help! I'd rather die than become an idol!

Just as she is very self-aware of her singing ability, Xing is also very confident in her looks. With her pure and lovely appearance, the enhancement of the four Stigmata, and the blessing of the [Charm Domain], it would be a pity if she didn't become an idol.

P. S.: Fortunately, her current appearance would be considered a femme fatale in ancient times, the kind of woman a tyrant would be willing to destroy a country for. So how will Kiana and the others pamper, cough, take care of her?

Ahem, this is just his current form in this volume; he'll turn back into a young boy in the next volume.

I feel like I have to be more careful about gropers when I go out now... because all my Stigmata abilities are gone, and my strength seems to have dropped to somewhere between A-rank Valkyrie and B-rank Valkyrie. But right now, my tired body is no different from that of an ordinary girl.

In other words, no matter what Eden does to her now, she cannot resist.

Unless Theresa happens to wake up at that exact moment and Rita arrives in time to rescue her, there's a greater than 70% chance that Eden will secretly take her home and slowly train her into an idol...

Absolutely not!

"Still playing dumb? I'm giving you one last chance. Who am I?" Eden frowned, a hint of anger flashing across his delicate face.

"Miss Ende, I really don't know what you're talking about." Sachi decided to stick to her guns.

"Fine, since you really don't know, then I don't need to help you cover up the incident." Eden sighed, got up and left. "You caused such a commotion at Golden Ocean Park. If I hadn't done everything I could to suppress it, you probably would have been summoned by Otto long ago, right? I didn't expect... Sigh, I guess I should just hand you over to him."

"Please wait a moment! Miss Eden!" Sachi hurriedly called out to Eden, who was about to leave. The red-haired woman's hand lingered on the doorknob for a moment before she let go.

Eden turned around, leaned against the doorframe with a satisfied smile, and asked casually, "Anything else?"

"... The fourth seat of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, [Gold]," Xing patted his cheeks, which were almost hot enough to boil water, and said, word by word, with his head down.

It really is Eden! That's wonderful. In this timeline, she didn't commit suicide and has survived until now.

I offer my blessings to Eden in my heart.

"Hmm, silly child, wouldn't it have been better to do this sooner?" Eden knelt down in front of her, pressed her shoulders, and asked urgently, "Tell me, what is your relationship with [Hua]?"

"... Half of this body's genes come from her; she is one of my biological mothers. Therefore, I can recreate her appearance through Feather Crossing Dust's psychological suggestion."

Next, Eden asked her many questions, about Fu Hua's current location, why she named the team the Fire Moth, and how she knew these things.

All of this was attributed to the omnipotent Feather Crossing Dust.

"I see. You obtained the feather from Hua's memory, which is why you know all this. You named your team after her organization because you admire your mother. You really are a child." Eden poked her cheek helplessly; it felt quite nice, reminding her of Mobius.

"There's one more thing, Pardo is with me." To prevent any accidents from happening in the future, Xing gave away the cat that had been eating and drinking at her place for a long time.

"Who?!" Eden almost thought he had misheard. Wasn't Pardo already... wait, could it be at that time?!

"Okay, I understand. Take me to the St. Freya Academy to see her and Hua later. Phew, Pardo, that child must miss me a lot, or rather, miss my jewel, right? Hehe~" Eden's mood was even better than if he had just learned that Pardo was alive.

"Then the compensation..." Xing asked timidly.

"Of course we still have to pay it back." Eden looked at her with a smile, a sly glint in his eyes.

This child is so talented, it's such a waste that she's not going to be an idol with me. Hua will understand.

"I don't think I have that much money..." The white-haired woman stared at the long string of numbers on the list, utterly bewildered, almost thinking she was having a nightmare. So many zeros! Even when the Jizo-Mitama gave her illicit money, she might not be able to pay it back. What was she going to do?

"It's okay, use your body... cough cough, that's not what I meant. I mean you can come to my company for training. With your talent and aptitude, I guarantee that it won't be long before you become a new world-class idol. How about it?" Eden admired the body that looked like it had been crafted by a god. Even she felt a little jealous of the body's beauty. When she grew up, only Elysia could rival her, right?

Thinking of this, Eden's desire to train, cough cough, nurture Happiness grew even stronger.

"No! Absolutely not! I'm a boy, how can I do such a shameful thing!" When it came to something that crossed her bottom line, the usually submissive Xing mustered her courage and shouted loudly at Eden.

"A boy?" Eden scanned her body from head to toe, a teasing glint in his eyes, his breathing quickening slightly. "That would be even better~"

Hey, why are you getting even more excited?!

"Um, I am indeed a girl now. My Stigmata went out of control and turned me from a boy into this. I will change back later..." Hatsumi, who had accidentally revealed her secret due to being too excited, lowered her head awkwardly and explained in a low voice.

"What? You actually possess such an ability?" Eden's eyes widened in surprise. "Then you can definitely become the best idol! Don't worry, Sister Eden will teach you everything she has learned in her life without reservation."

"That's not the point! I don't want to be an idol, absolutely not!" The aggrieved little girl was almost in tears; she didn't want an idol at all!

"Then we can only entrust this important task to your foster mother, Theresa. Hey, speaking of which, your friends seem pretty good too, Kiana, Mei, Bronya ..." Eden secretly observed her expression while pretending to be nonchalant. "You don't want to see them lose their Valkyrie status and become idols to atone for the mistakes you made, do you?"

"You, you..." Xing clenched her fists, her body trembling uncontrollably. She didn't know what to do. She didn't want to be an idol, but she also didn't want Kiana and the others to fall into Eden's hands. What should she do?

Eden deliberately lifted her chin and whispered in her ear, "Hurry up and make a choice, Xing, is it to sacrifice yourself or to sacrifice them?"

"I... I..." Sachi was engaged in a fierce internal struggle. If it were about sacrificing her life for Kiana and the others, she would never hesitate, but faced with such an embarrassing condition...

"Waaaaah..." The emotions that had been building up to their peak collapsed in an instant, and she burst into tears, startling Eden. Looking at the sobbing girl, she was at a loss for what to do. Oh no, had she gone too far? What should she do now?

Helpless, she could only recall the experience of comforting Griseo in her mind while holding Sachi in her arms and soothing her emotions, "I'm sorry, it was my fault, okay? Don't cry, I'll give you candy..."

Overwhelmed with emotion, Xing shoved Eden away, crying out, "Get away from me, you big bad guy!"

Damn it, it's all this body's fault; her behavior is starting to resemble that of a girl.

"A... a really bad guy?" Eden felt as if he'd been struck by lightning, his eyes instantly darkening. What to do when a little girl hates you?

Eden quickly tried to salvage the situation. "How about this? I'll let it go for now and not pursue compensation, but in return, you have to make a bet with me, okay?"

Fortunately, she stopped crying and looked up in confusion. "What bet?"

Seeing that she had taken the bait, Eden breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his original elegant and composed demeanor. "If you become a world-class idol from scratch within a year, then our debts will be wiped clean, how about it?"

"No way!" Xing decisively refused. This was too difficult!

Eden had already anticipated her reaction. "Don't rush, I haven't finished yet. For the next year, I will provide full financial support to the Fire Moth Squad. Whether you become a world-class idol or not, I will continue to invest. Are you satisfied now, little one?"

"This..." Xing opened his mouth, but then stopped himself from speaking.

I couldn't refuse, I'm really short on money lately...

"I agree!" After weighing the pros and cons in her mind, she gritted her teeth and agreed. At worst, she could postpone it for a year and then change her mind!

However, Eden had already seen through Xing's little scheme. "Heh, little one, don't think it's that simple. Throughout this year, you must continue to work hard in your idol career. Of course, this won't interfere with your Valkyrie duties. But if you're just taking it easy and not giving it your all—"

Eden's voice suddenly turned cold. "I guarantee you'll regret this." She took out two contracts that she had prepared beforehand and placed them in front of Xing.

Fortunately, after lowering his head and remaining silent for a while, he resolutely raised his head and signed his name on the two contracts with trembling hands.

[Fortunate]

"Hehe, that's fine, little guy." Eden put one of the cards away with satisfaction. "If you lose, it's mine for life. Strive to become the strongest idol for your own freedom to perform."

Xing silently covered her face, wondering what kind of trouble she had gotten herself into...

You Hui Atum: "Wow! These young people are really something these days. Should I give you my Idol Natasha's memories?"

You Hui Atum: "Let's have three seconds of silence for Roman and Qi."

Might Be A Little Itchy Oh: "You haven't answered my question yet, how do you always know what's going on here immediately?"

System notification: [You Hui Atum] is offline.

Fortunately, I exited the Guidance Module, feeling resentful. I carefully put away my own card, then slammed the door and left.

After she left, Eden took a bottle of fine wine from the cabinet, poured it into an exquisite gold goblet, and gently swirled it. "Hehe, it seems there will be quite a few interesting things to happen in the future."

She looked at the wine in her glass and smiled.

——Love Gate——

Fortunately, he followed Little Te back to his original room, ignoring the Judah Valkyrie her launcher Theresa who were wrestling with Rita, and dragged his tired body to bed and fell asleep immediately.

Good heavens! To become a world-class idol in a year, without an agency, without connections, and without being able to borrow any extra power, she has to rely on herself for everything. What is she going to do?

Back to the present, after Theresa knocked Rita unconscious with Judah, learned the general situation from Eden, and sent the photos, St. Freya Academy—

Bronya kicked open the door of the Fire Moth Base One and sent an emergency communication to all members except Fu Hua: "All personnel assemble immediately! SSS-Rank critical incident has occurred!"

——Love Gate——

As Theresa held her daughter and lovingly caressed her soft skin, a blond man slowly pushed open the bedroom door...

Let's cause trouble! Let's cause trouble! Let's cause trouble!

I'll say it three times because it's important!

I guarantee you'd never guess what I'm going to write next, no matter how hard you try!

Ahem, I wasn't referring to the Lord Bishop at the end...
