Chlorine Sodium's Arknights

Simply put, she only knows how to lie.

By the time she thought this, she had unconsciously walked to her doorstep, that clinic.

Because the door had been broken last time and hadn't been repaired yet, Chlorine Sodium simply left the main door open and went out, as the local gangs had already been completely destroyed by her.

No gangs would rise up to commit evil here again in the short term.

After all, it would take a long time for the fractured gangs to kill each other before they could unify again.

However, as she walked towards the main door, she found Yelena waiting for her outside.

Sitting outside the door, seemingly chatting with someone else.

Who was it? She didn't remember having any appointments today. After all, she had hung a "Closed" sign on the door, so no one should be here at this time.

But when she saw clearly, she realized it was an acquaintance.

That clumsy woman who didn't seem like an adult at all.

That Elafia woman.

However, today, this woman who called herself yj seemed to be wearing formal attire.

She usually wore a tracksuit or casual clothes when she came over, but this time she was unusually wearing a blue and black uniform, with a common office lady outfit underneath.

She looked like a corporate white-collar worker.

So what was this person doing here?

"Ah, you're finally back. You've made me wait so long."

The Elafia woman noticed me before Yelena did. She looked like a plump, slightly fleshy woman, but her sudden jump was surprisingly agile.

The woman's entire demeanor seemed to have transformed into that of a gag character from a comedy manga. She leaped into the air, her eyes even turning into a >< shape.

Why is this person's art style so off?

Ignoring the Elafia woman who pounced at her, Chlorine Sodium easily dodged the woman's attack with a sidestep and walked straight to Yelena, handing the bag to the girl.

"Go eat inside. Remember to wash your hands."

The young girl instructed, while the Elafia woman was still lying on the ground, looking like she was ascending to heaven.

How weak are you?

"Hey, get up. What do you need me for?"

"Wuwuwu, I need a hug to get up!!!"

The woman cried like a little girl, a fake cry that couldn't be any more fake.

Tsk.

I thought this person would be troublesome, but I never expected her to be this troublesome...

"Then you can just lie there. I'm going to eat."

"Whoa!! No, I have something to tell you!!!"

Deep in the night, an alley.

The woman who called herself yj seemed to be a lady from a prominent family. She said she liked psychic magic and that her family needed a simple ward.

This was simple for Chlorine Sodium, but she didn't really want to do it.

Because she was closed today.

However, this Elafia woman was different from other beings; her thought process couldn't be understood by common sense.

After all, no normal person would see a cat on the street, pick it up, pet it all the way, and take it home.

She pestered me relentlessly, and she even pestered a cat. Such childish behavior was too undignified.

Who am I, Chlorine Sodium?

A busy, dignified person.

In the end, she had no choice, and because it was nearby, Chlorine Sodium accepted the job.

But... something wasn't right.

Because this wasn't the route to the wealthy district. The Elafia woman in front of her seemed to be leading her outwards.

And this was an abandoned area in the old city. There used to be a factory here, but it was relocated. The dilapidated buildings became stubborn holdouts, left unattended and undemolished.

"I say... are we done with this boring detour? I don't think an Elafia family would live in the slums. Or perhaps...

—Are you actually guiding me to where you need me to be?"

Hearing Chlorine Sodium's increasingly cold words, the Elafia woman stopped in her tracks.

Stroking the cat in her arms, the woman turned around.

"Oh my, what an impatient girl. But I don't dislike impatient girls at all."

Elafia was said to have an affinity for nature, so the cat seemed to have found its home, rubbing against the girl's arm.

So what exactly are you here for?

"Stop playing these boring riddles, my time is limited."

Even so, Elafia showed no displeasure. Instead, she stroked the cat's fluffy fur.

"Did you know, it's said that the Elafia people once lived alongside nature, and animals adored them, treating them like kin.

Their Originium Arts also exist because of this; animals are very important to them."

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Because the woman had silently recited Augu's words.

That seemed to be...

"By the earth, I swear."

That was the incantation to activate Originium Arts!!

And the cat in her arms instantly had all its fur stand on end.

But it was no use. Even though the cat sensed its impending death, it had no chance to struggle.

Just like that... it turned to ash with the rhythm of the Originium Arts, becoming the "price" for activating them.

Activating Originium Arts in front of a stranger was no different than drawing a knife in front of one.

It was the most unforgivable provocation and threat!

Chlorine Sodium's eyes suddenly turned golden, and her fists rubbed against the air as she struck.

"Don't the Elafia believe they are one with nature? How can you use such malicious Originium Arts?"

Yet, the woman smiled unhurriedly and said, "Although we are one, in the end, how could such lowly things be compared to me?

Speaking of which, you're quite hot-tempered. Have you forgotten...

Your new identity was arranged by me, you know. Have you forgotten, my dear, you who are of humble status yet unaware, existing in the same way as that lowly cat...

—Villainess~"

ps: The foreshadowing is all coming back!

Ah, writing this makes me tremble all over, it's so good, so good, Miss Eagle is amazing!!!

Section 54 Chapter 53 [Why Would Fists Be So Inconvenient!]

"Boom!!"

Bricks and tiles were tossed into the air by the raging wind.

"You're really not behaving, daring to resist your Administrator now."

The Administrator, the intermediary in this Villainess game, had a capable subordinate with every move.

It was like a project manager and their team.

But in this world, the Administrator's authority was more like a game's GM. For a Villainess like Chlorine Sodium, it represented absolute suppression.

The reason Chlorine Sodium didn't recognize this person was because appearance, personality, and even the logic of their speech were all externally replaceable.

An Administrator who could fabricate any image based on their mood was impossible to identify effectively. If she didn't reveal her identity, even her own subordinates wouldn't recognize her.

And now, the Administrator seemed to be starting her pathological "performance" again.

After all, she always considered herself "Destiny."

Or rather, the true "Master."

"I'm wondering if I should make Chlor-chan apologize to me naked~

Hmm, what a great idea!"

A smile devoid of any gloom, yet the woman lightly waved her hand, and the next moment, the wind raged again in the space!!

If Chlorine Sodium used the power of Honkai to stir up a tidal wave of death, then what the Administrator used was simply "authority."

No mana consumption, no level restrictions.

As long as she wanted, she could raise her own level to the maximum.

Because she was the true GM.

A being completely outside the rules of the system!

As for why she wrapped herself in Elafia's power, it was probably for the sense of immersion.

There were many types of Administrators. Some were obsessed with controlling everything from behind the scenes, appearing and disappearing like mythical gods, speaking nonsense, acting inhumanly, and their true forms were unknown.

This one, however, belonged to the type who liked to get personally involved, and also liked...

Causing trouble.

Or rather, disasters disguised as jokes!!

Yes, there was no reason. If Chlorine Sodium's instinctive attack was because the person in front of her couldn't be reasoned with by normal means.

Combat was just daily life, killing was just a game, and death was merely the discarding of a body for them.

A life that spanned millennia, boundless and unverified in its true form, was far superior to everything else.

Humans wouldn't understand ants, and naturally, gods wouldn't understand humans.

As for the Administrator, who was above demigods.

That was the supreme god above all gods.

Within the hurricane stirred up by the girl, countless slender yet incredibly sharp wind blades surged towards Chlorine Sodium!

Everything in the path of the wind blades was destroyed. Even Chlorine Sodium's Herrscher of the Void shield dared not take a direct hit.

Chlorine Sodium suddenly dodged.

Style Li, Instantaneous Movement!

The wind blades grazed past the girl, completely destroying the wall behind her.

Such a commotion was made, yet the surrounding residential buildings showed no reaction, becoming even quieter than before.

Had they cleared out everyone nearby for this "joke"?

"Mhm, why is that?"

The Administrator seemed to have noticed that Chlorine Sodium had not yet activated her Herrscher state, instead using skills learned from the Honkai world to dodge and weave through the debris, like a cat playing with a mouse.

Her simple martial arts were unable to even cut through the swirling wind in the face of such authority.

Chlorine Sodium was merely making a futile escape.
