Little Senti: "Are You Using This to Get Back at Me?!" / About Who Counts as the Older Sister

After being taken home by Hoshiguma, Chen took a quick shower, changed into pajamas, and lay down on the bed, clutching Talulah's letter box.

Having gone through a series of events since yesterday, she is currently in a rather unpleasant mood, filled with complex emotions and a touch of depression.

It's complicated because I read many of my older sister's letters and learned a lot about her past experiences and feelings. I'm depressed because I've once again felt my own weakness... I lost so quickly.

Thinking about it, Chen lowered his eyes to hide his disappointment in himself, gently rubbed his still somewhat numb tiger's mouth, and clenched his fist with some resentment.

That's still not enough. If she were strong enough, would she be able to know the truths about the past? Would she be able to protect more people instead of being protected by others? Or even help Talulah...?

"..."

As time slowly passed, no matter how turbulent Chen's emotions were, no matter how unwilling she was, physical exhaustion and drowsiness gradually dragged her into a dream and into a deep sleep.

But whether this dream was good or bad, no one but her knows.

Afternoon--

"Ugh! This is so boring! Spare me! I'm not going to shop with you old fogies anymore!" Senti wailed, looking at the two people in front of her who had been shopping for hours but were still full of enthusiasm.

Honestly, if she had known that Griseo and the old man's gift-buying (big shopping spree) was so boring, she wouldn't have come.

She can only spend a few hours browsing things she's completely uninterested in; that's her limit now. She'd rather go to an arcade or go out alone...

"I'm going out to play by myself for a while. Can we meet up tonight?" Senti said, turning her gaze to Hua, waiting for her reply.

Normally, she would have told Hua about her actions and then immediately run away without waiting for the results. But this time, because of the "child," she had no choice but to reluctantly stay and listen to what the old man had to say.

"Heh~ Senti, go ahead and have fun if you want, just remember to come back on time tonight." Hua couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Senti, who seemed more patient than usual.

"I know, I know, I'm not a child anymore, old man, don't nag me!" Upon hearing this, Senti couldn't help but wave his hand at Hua and said.

"Um, see you later, Sister Senti..."

"See you later, Griseo. You can continue browsing with the old antique. I'm leaving now!" With that, Senti nodded slightly to Griseo before turning and leaving.

"...???), then let's continue, Sister Hua." Griseo blinked her beautiful eyes gently and turned to the person beside her after watching Senti completely disappear from sight.

The little girl still has a lot of tasks to complete today, including buying gifts (supplies) for the Reunion Movement. Although it wouldn't matter too much if she couldn't finish them all, she decided to try her best to complete them to avoid affecting the plans for the next few days.

After all, Griseo had made separate appointments with Hoshiguma and Fumizuki to buy proper gifts for others. Not to mention, she also needed to find time to draw portraits for several people.

So, in a sense, the little girl's schedule is quite full, and we try our best not to delay her.

"Okay, let's continue." Hearing this, Hua nodded gently and then patted Griseo's head.

"???)Um!"

After parting ways with Griseo, Senti leisurely strolled around, looking here and there.

After wandering around for a while, I finally stopped and bought a snack that interested me, then sat down at one of the tables and chairs set up by the roadside.

Then I ate while watching people come and go, feeling quite relaxed.

However, before Senti could sit down for long, a vulgar and angry voice suddenly rang out from the crowd not far ahead, shattering the peaceful atmosphere of the street and making people look in the direction of the sound.

Even Senti couldn't help but squint her eyes and look ahead curiously, but because she hadn't finished her snacks, she didn't intend to get up and check at the moment.

However, she and the onlookers soon noticed the change in the situation. It seemed that the people who had started the conflict had shaken others, and the originally chaotic and quarrelsome situation had turned into a fierce standoff between two groups.

As the onlookers gradually realized something was wrong, the surrounding vendors, quite experienced as they were, began to quietly retreat and withdraw to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

The food stall owner where Senti was sitting, while quickly packing up and moving to the back, didn't forget to remind her, who was eating, "Young lady, it might be dangerous to stay here any longer. You should go find some shelter too."

"Huh? No problem, uncle! I'm very strong. Their little stunts are nothing!" Suddenly reminded, Senti was taken aback at first, then proudly patted his chest and said.

"Well... anyway, be careful, young lady." Looking at the Senti face in front of him, the stall owner was silent for a moment, but in the end he didn't try to persuade her anymore. He just gave her another reminder before pushing his goods to a different location.

"Sigh... It's all because this old relic looks too young. Why doesn't anyone believe that the great Herrscher of Reason is strong?" Watching the departing figure, Senti, understanding the meaning of the pause, helplessly shrugged and said.

Having said that, Senti stopped dwelling on the matter and continued eating and watching the show. Just then, the two groups confronting each other suddenly became enraged and started fighting, turning the scene into chaos.

Those who had already distanced themselves upon seeing this scene called the police and then huddled even further back. Of course, quite a few people still chose to risk venturing out to watch the spectacle. However, there were almost no one who dared to sit casually by the roadside like Senti and watch the show.

"Tsk tsk tsk, although there's no strategy, they're fighting pretty hard." Just as Senti was watching the bunch of weaklings fighting each other and sighing softly, a figure suddenly came crashing down on her from afar.

"Hmm? Mere trifles..."

Senti, realizing someone was "ambushing" him, reacted instantly, stood up, and dodged. He managed to avoid the attack, but the small table and the snacks on it were not spared.

The small table was crushed, and the snacks with soup on it were smashed and sent flying. The soup even splashed onto Senti's clothes, who hadn't bothered to dodge... freezing her smile on her face.

Meanwhile, the culprit who had thrown her over stood not far away, grinning maliciously as he shouted disdainfully, "Where did this brat come from, daring to watch our show here? Get lost if you don't want to die! Hahaha!"

"?!"

Chapter 105 Senti: "You're using your position for personal revenge?!"

At that moment, Chen, who was at the Lungmen Guard Department, called the police on the street. After a group fight broke out in the surrounding area, he immediately grabbed Hoshiguma and led a group of people to the scene.

As for why she came back to work this afternoon after taking leave today, it's because she couldn't stay idle, or rather, she didn't dare to let herself be idle.

So after waking up in the morning and realizing that he had started overthinking again, Chen went back to the Lungmen Guard Department after a quick lunch, getting himself into work mode and keeping himself busy.

Only by filling her life with various activities can she avoid overthinking. Moreover, progress can only be made through action, in every aspect of life.

Therefore, Chen's life and behavior have always been swift, clean, and efficient.

"Old Chen, you didn't even get a little rest today. It's one thing to come to work at the Lungmen Guard Department after returning from leave, but after finding out there was a mission, you still rushed to the scene. Aren't you tired?" Hoshiguma sat in the car, looking at her serious-looking old friend beside her, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, and said with a somewhat helpless tone.

To be honest, if she didn't know that Chen was severely sleep-deprived, she would have definitely taken her out for drinks and a heart-to-heart talk after get off work tonight.

Although Hoshiguma understood Chen's usual way of doing things, she remained silent on the matter because she was unaware of her friend's past. At most, she would only invite him out for drinks or a chat to ease his tension or bad mood when she noticed he was stressed or in a bad mood.

"I've already caught up on my sleep today, and I'm feeling great now." Hearing this, Chen Wei turned her head slightly and said, "Besides, Hoshiguma, didn't you come to work today too?"

"?"

After hearing Chen's words, a question mark slowly appeared above Hoshiguma's head, and then she said with a somewhat speechless expression, "Can we be compared? I slept very well yesterday, but you didn't look too good this morning."

After her brief rant, Hoshiguma knew she couldn't change Chen's mind with just a few words, so she rested her head on her arms and changed the subject, saying, "Fine, I won't argue with you about this anymore. But you should be able to leave work on time today and go home to rest early, right?"

"Okay, I won't be working overtime today." This time, Chen didn't say anything to object, and simply nodded in agreement.

"That's more like it. Close your eyes and rest for a while. I'll call you when we're almost there."

"Good."

The other side of the street--

"?!"

Senti, already in a bad mood because soup splashed on his clothes, snapped in his tracks when he saw someone provoking him like this, and his fist immediately hardened.

However, considering that using her fists might kill someone, and also because she found it dirty, she silently conjured the image of "[Out of Touch]" in her hand, and then in the next instant, she pushed off with her feet and rushed forward.

Almost instantly, Senti arrived in front of the person who had insulted him with terrifying explosive power, raised his hand and slapped him with a brick, sending him flying and crashing heavily to the ground some distance away, letting out a wail like a pig being slaughtered.

Actually, she could have easily knocked him unconscious by being "out of touch with Out of Touch," but she felt that would be too easy on him, so she just used what she had as a brick, and it turned out to be very effective.

As Senti made his move, the two groups of people fighting around them paused for a moment, then some pretended not to see it, while others cast hostile glances their way over.

Even a very few hot-tempered individuals have shown signs of abandoning the fight and heading this way.

However, would Senti be afraid of them? Of course not! She'd fight off as many as they came, she'd only be afraid they wouldn't dare to come at her! And so, a new conflict began with her joining the fray!

Finally, when Chen and Hoshiguma arrived with their men, they saw people lying on the ground in the wrecked street. Senti Shi, with a villainous smile, was raising a brick in her hand, about to "attack" the only other person who was still awake and looking terrified.

"What are you doing! Stop!"

Seeing Senti's familiar face and the brick about to fall, Chen didn't have time to say anything else before shouting at her.

However, she was still a step too late...

With Senti's shout, "Go to sleep! Next time, be more discerning and don't judge a book by its cover!" she slammed the brick in her hand down on the man's head.

The man's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground, becoming one of the many people lying on the ground.

"!"

"You dare to hurt someone in front of us police officers?!" Chen's expression twisted for a moment as he watched Senti's clean and efficient movements, then he gritted his teeth and said.

"Ha, they attacked first, okay? I was just retaliating normally. Besides, why should I listen to you, you annoying guy!" Xiao Shi, who already didn't have a good Senti of Chen, said with an annoyed expression after hearing her words.

"Regardless of what happens, take them all down. Send the injured for treatment, and take the rest away. We'll question, investigate, and interview them after they wake up." Upon hearing this, Chen's face darkened, and he gave the orders to the officers around him.

Chen's slightly improved impression of Senti after hearing Griseo's explanation plummeted back to rock bottom, leaving him with absolutely no hope of recovery.

"Yes!"

"Huh? You're using your position for personal revenge?! You want to arrest me without investigating properly?!" Senti exclaimed incredulously, his eyes wide as he watched the officers take action.

"We will investigate the matter thoroughly, but regardless of whether you are right or wrong, you should come back with us for the investigation, or at the very least, give a statement."

Although his face darkened, Chen Jin remembered what Griseo had said before and did not verbally confront the person in front of him like he had done last time.

"Or are you trying to assault a police officer? But if you do, Griseo will probably be very disappointed... Of course, if you don't care about that little guy, then just pretend I didn't say anything." After saying the last sentence, Chen raised his hand, gripped the hilt of his knife, and stared intently at the person in front of him, watching for any changes in her emotions to prevent her from suddenly lashing out.

Although her impression of Senti wasn't very good right now, regardless of his current "battle record" or Griseo's previous mention of how strong he was, she had no intention of underestimating him.

"... Ahhh, you... you actually tried to sow discord! Who said I didn't care about her!" Upon hearing this, Senti's expression became even more incredulous. After a moment of stunned silence, she stomped her feet and shouted loudly.

"And Griseo is on our side! You wretched guy, don't act like you know her so well!"

Chapter 106 About Who's the Older Sister

"Is that so? In that case, you'd better come back with us. Once the investigation is complete and nothing's wrong, we'll let you go." Finding his words effective, Chen raised an eyebrow, then withdrew his grip on the hilt of his knife, crossed his arms, and continued:

"You don't want to be detained for assaulting a police officer, and then I have to contact Griseo to come and take you back myself, right? An impulsive, reckless older sister like that is annoying, isn't she..."

"... whispering sound."

"You're just using Griseo to threaten me. If you're so capable, let's have a fair fight!"

Hearing Chen's hurtful words, Senti's expression twisted for a moment, her face full of resentment. However, despite her resentment, she did indeed give up the idea of directly starting the process.

As for the reason, it's mainly because this is official business. If she makes a big fuss, Griseo will be caught in the middle, torn between the two sides.

Of course, despite the compromise, Qiu Senti still remembered it. She planned to settle the score with Chen privately after this matter was over.

Incidentally, she also planned to Griseo a good "lecture" when she got back. Although she knew Gretchen meant well and wanted to mediate the conflict, why did she have to tell everyone everything! It put her at a disadvantage... oh no, this time it was just a slip-up, a careless mistake.

"We've already been fair and square enough, and Lungmen doesn't solve problems with violence." Chen retorted without any politeness.

"Tch, coward!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Senti turned his head away unhappily and stood to the side, no longer arguing with Chen.

"..."

Chen glanced at her speechlessly, then said nothing more and went back to her work. At the same time, she couldn't help but admire Griseo's understanding of this guy.

On the other side--

The two, who had been focused on purchasing, sensed something happening on Senti's end. The older one couldn't help but facepalm, while the younger one scratched his chin, looking completely bewildered.

"It looks like we'll have to make some changes to our schedule later." After calming down, Hua turned to Griseo with a helpless expression and said.

"Hmm, it's okay." Hearing this, Griseo gently shook her head and said softly.

"Well, since that's the case, is today Hua-jie and Hui-chieh- jie's first meeting? Remember to leave a good impression..."

"Don't worry, I won't be as reckless as Senti." Hua said, chuckling to himself as he gently patted the little girl's head.

"Um..."

Although she was very reluctant, Senti still got into Chen and Hoshiguma's car and returned to the Lungmen Guard Department.

After investigating, Chen and her friends had a pretty good idea of what had happened in today's fight. But it was precisely because they understood that they were now even more speechless.

All I can say is that Senti's act of hitting people in front of Chen and the others was too intimidating. Her smile was so villainous that no one would think she was a good person, especially considering that there were already a bunch of people lying on the ground.

Speaking of lying around, this was another thing that surprised Chen and Hoshiguma: they had initially assumed that those who had been knocked down on the ground were at least seriously injured. Even the people on the ground thought so, but...
