I Don't Like People, I Like Dogs; Dogs Are Obedient, But People Aren't

Kujo Ryuko.

A Third Sequence blood Ability User.

A six-star top-tier Operator.

Whether it's her strength as a six-star Operator in-game, her character illustration, CG, or how enjoyable her interactions are to "lick" (appreciate).

She's absolutely T1 level.

Whether as an Operator or an 'Operator'.

Kujo Ryuko is an absolutely practical existence.

If Su Youzi encountered a wild Kujo Ryuko in the game, Su Youzi would absolutely recruit her without a second word or any hesitation.

But... reality is different.

Reality is truly different.

The girl who looks like she's bursting with sex appeal is already completely broken inside.

Paranoid and insane.

If possible... Su Youzi wants to turn around and leave right now, staying far away from this sadist yandere.

Unfortunately, she can't.

She glanced at her mission.

There was no penalty for failure.

The only problem was if the System's mission was a chain quest; if she didn't complete the current one, the subsequent missions probably wouldn't be released.

This impact was quite significant.

However... she could also choose to do what she did with Yamabuki Nanako or POI.

Not nurture the Operator after unlocking her.

Just treat Kujo Ryuko as a pretty 'warehouse keeper' and leave her there.

Let her do whatever she wants.

As long as she doesn't increase her affection points or 'nurture' her, there wouldn't be any problem.

She could even slightly control the 'division' (relationship status).

Keep Kujo Ryuko's affection points towards her at a low level.

She just didn't know how this recruitment would actually work.

Would it be like with Saotome Yukina back then?

Did they meet, Saotome Yukina say her name, and the unlock would be successful? Or were there other conditions?

Su Youzi tightly gripped Saotome Yukina's nervously sweaty little hand.

She tried her best not to make eye contact with Kujo Ryuko.

Kujo Ryuko's scarlet eyes swept over Su Youzi, showing a sliver of interest.

She really looked like her Older Sister.

Though compared to Soga Toyura's flat chest, her Sister's figure was much more shapely.

The girl's Soga Family's signature gorgeous red eyes... gave Kujo Ryuko a slight urge to pinch her face and watch her tremble with wide, pitiful eyes.

A bit of sadistic desire arose in her heart.

But Kujo Ryuko quickly suppressed it.

"You're just a First Sequence Anomaly, why are you here?" Unohana Chiyo looked at the girl before her with a hint of pity.

In Kujo Ryuko, she saw a reflection of herself.

Kujo Ryuko addressed Unohana Chiyo as Teacher.

That was because she used to be a student at Shiritsu Megumi Garden Academy.

Standing respectfully before Unohana Chiyo, Kujo Ryuko actually had a bit of a delinquent student's stance.

"She's not an ordinary First Sequence Anomaly."

Kujo Ryuko looked at Unohana Chiyo.

The so-called First Sequence Anomaly refers to Anomalies whose Anomaly Ability level is between Level 10 and Level 19.

Regardless of how weak they were before becoming an Anomaly.

After being contaminated and falling into an Anomaly, their strength would be raised to at least Level 10, which is the First Sequence Anomaly.

If she were just a common First Sequence Anomaly, she wouldn't have attracted the Fourth Action Department, nor would she have attracted Kujo Ryuko.

The girl took a file bag from the conference table.

A document was pulled out. The first page of the document... was the black and purple eye totem that Su Youzi had seen before, drawn on the girl's lower abdomen.

"She's from the 'Eye of Insight'."

"She's not with the 'Eye of Insight.' She's a student at our Huiqun Garden Academy—" Before Kujo Ryuko could finish, Unohana Chiyo forcefully interrupted her.

"Your junior."

Her scarlet eyes lifted, staring directly at the mature beauty before her.

The terrifying pressure emanating from Kujo Ryuko was palpable, even to Su Youzi and Saotome Nanako standing behind Unohana Chiyo.

Su Youzi tried to recall information about Kujo Ryuko.

After ascending to the Third Sequence, Kujo Ryuko had gained the Innate Ability [Deterrence].

[Deterrence] continuously applied psychological pressure on enemies.

Furthermore... it made enemies more susceptible to falling into negative states like panic and fear of battle.

Su Youzi had intended to comfort the little rabbit beside her, but she was surprised to find that when facing Kujo Ryuko's imposing aura, the little rabbit surprisingly gritted her teeth and held firm.

"I don't want... to embarrass myself in front of my senpai."

Girls naturally had more sensitive constitutions and tended to sweat easily.

Her back was already soaked with cold sweat that had broken out profusely.

But... gripping Su Youzi's hand so tightly that her palm felt like it would cramp, Saotome Nanako endured it.

Returning Saotome Nanako's grip, Su Youzi pulled the girl into her embrace.

"Sometimes..."

"Little rabbits can also choose to lean on themselves a little."

Kujo Ryuko glanced at Su Youzi with a hint of admiration.

Facing her former teacher, she uncharacteristically relented, "Alright~~~ Even if... she's not with the 'Eye of Insight.'"

"She must have had contact with the 'Eye of Insight' before."

Her voice sounded as if she were whining, yet it was chillingly cold, devoid of any emotion.

Kujo Ryuko handed the file to Unohana Chiyo. As Unohana Chiyo flipped through the documents, her brow furrowed deeper.

The "Eye of Insight" was a recently active... and quite troublesome cult.

They believed that Anomalies were the correct direction for human evolution.

"Black stockings are justice (not)."

This cult was dedicated to artificially realizing the possibility of "Anomalous states."

However... they had encountered a significant problem.

It seemed that only girls could successfully achieve an "Anomalous state."

After searching through all their texts, the only male Anomaly in history was the "Seat of Evil," who was forever buried in the depths of the ocean with his lover.

And even that was only a possibility.

The "Eye of Insight" wept tears of sorrow.

Damn it all!

Was this world some kind of bizarre Butter World?

Why was even the act of "Anomalous states," a Descent into Anomaly, labeled as exclusive to girls?

Not only that.

Even the "Anomalous states" of ordinary girls were proceeding quite unsteadily.

The test subjects were constantly on the verge of collapse.

However... looking at Sakai Miho, the girl who had undergone an Anomalous state in the fighting arena earlier.

The "Eye of Insight's" experiments.

Seemed to have finally made some progress.

"Even so, that doesn't warrant you coming here personally, does it?" Unohana Chiyo looked at Kujo Ryuko.

Kujo Ryuko sat back down in the main seat of the conference room.

The girl rested her arms on the armrests of the chair, her small face supported by the backs of her hands, hidden in shadow.

Within the shadow, only her scarlet eyes shone brightly.

Kujo Ryuko's crossed legs swung gently.

The girl's voice was filled with a distinct pleasure.

"That's because..."

"According to our investigation of the 'Eye of Insight.'"

She looked up, her scarlet eyes meeting Su Youzi's.

Kujo Ryuko's lips curved into a wide, unrestrained smile.

"Although I don't know why they chose the discarded child of the Soga family."

"But..."

"Their target..."

"Was you from the very beginning—"

"Soga Youzi."

"No..."

"Su Youzi."

[Ding--]

[Quest Complete: 'Chance Encounter'.]

[Ding ding ding ding ding ding!]

[Reward Obtained: Operator - Kujo Ryuko acquired.]

[☆☆☆☆☆☆]

The girl's character illustration froze.

The girl, with her back to the window, was bathed in sunlight, yet her delicate little face was shrouded in shadow, making it impossible to see clearly.

The only things visible were the almost manic smile on her lips and her scarlet eyes.

Her legs were crossed.

Her left leg was slightly raised, as if she intended to step out of the illustration.

"I don't like people—"

"I like dogs."

"Dogs are obedient."

"But people aren't."
