Volume Three: The Academy Runs Completely Amok - Chapter 178: World's Little Corner (Part One)

Are there any fun things to do in the south?

Confused, I looked at Ling Ye again, but he had already disappeared into the distance with the Enforcement Team.

"... Xiao Ye, what did that man say to you?"

"He said there are fun things to do in the south... Ah, Haoyue, don't be angry! He probably just—"

"Don't worry, I'm not angry or jealous. In fact... although he was the one who actively flirted with you, I can't bring myself to dislike him."

"... Huh?"

How come Haoyue, a complete and utter lesbian, didn't feel any ill will towards the handsome young man who was secretly talking to me?

The sun rose in the west?

Haoyue herself seemed a little confused.

"Anyway, we don't know which way to go, so why don't we just listen to him and go south to take a look?"

"Oh well..."

Once again draped in the Moon Mist Silver Veil, we slipped into the crowd.

I felt as if I were back at the place where the caravan in Port Turltukha was temporarily recruiting people. The outermost part was crowded with people, but the further in you went, the fewer people there were, as a large number of people were intercepted by the gangs on the outer side.

It's about the same here.

The prime spots on the outside are all taken by large clubs, leaving behind mostly small, niche clubs that lack members, money, and space. Their names are also quite strange, like "Urban Isolation" or "Seaview Club," leaving one completely bewildered. However, they all share one common characteristic—they are practically deserted.

"Is there really anything interesting here? I feel like I've been tricked by that guy..."

Haoyue looked uninterested, but suddenly her eyes lit up.

"Could he be telling us this is a great place for outdoor exhibitionism? The environment is nice, and the number of people is at the minimum. My beloved Xiao Ye and I are doing shameless things in the bushes--"

"Stop right there! Your lecherous tendencies are getting worse and worse!"

"I'm not a pervert, I just want to get closer to Xiao Ye in the most efficient way possible~ But Xiao Ye is always like this, when will we be able to have a child...?"

Actually, I already have one.

"Look at what you're saying, as if women can give birth..."

"Oh? Of course, that's possible, but it will cost a lot of money."

"Money and stuff... wait and wait and wait! Can you have children!?"

There's no IPS cell technology in this other world!

"Ah, right, Xiao Ye, you said you're from another world... Don't forget, Spirit Star is a gathering place for people with superpowers. There's a superpower called 'fusion,' which allows people to fuse two substances into one. Actually, this superpower is pretty useless in combat or industry, but it's very popular in same-sex reproduction."

"... Please provide more details."

"Fusing reproductive cells, you know. Fusion ability users can fuse eggs together to create an embryo. Of course, the child produced this way can only be female... As for males, it's a bit more troublesome because sperm doesn't have cytoplasm, so you'll have to find something else."

"..."

I used to wonder why, although Yuri and gay relationships are quite unique on Spirit Star, they aren't rejected by many people. Now I understand.

I haven't told her about Little Butterfly yet. What if she asks where Little Butterfly came from?

It feels so scary...

"... Um?"

My gaze was drawn to a stall. Even in this gathering place of unpopular clubs, the stall was extremely inconspicuous. It leaned against a dark wall, and was also shaded by roadside trees. If I didn't have exceptional observation skills, I would never have noticed it.

There's a reason why it attracts me.

Many clubs post photos of their members when recruiting new members to showcase the club's image, and using photos of attractive female members to lure potential suitors is a long-standing tradition. This club is no exception.

The problem is the people in the photo--

"... Si Nan Xiao?"

A beautiful face strikingly similar to Patchouli, a sleepy expression, long, casually draped purple hair, half-open purple eyes, and a dress resembling a purple and white nightgown. Since this is definitely not Gensokyo, I'm certain—this girl is none other than Si Nan Xiao, whom I haven't seen in a long time!

"Wow, I knew Si Nan Xiao studied here, but I didn't expect to see her again so soon... By the way, what department is this?"

We looked together at the dusty signboard, which read: --

World's Little Corner

There is another line of smaller text below--

Original Pajama Club

"..."

"World's Little Corner"? Original Pajama Club "? Does this mean the original name of this club was " Pajama Enthusiasts Club, " and it was later renamed " World's Little Corner "?

"World's Little Corner"... It's not exactly a very artistic name, but it always evokes a strange feeling when you see it.

"Strange, this is the only stall that's empty..."

Only after Haoyue mentioned it did I notice that the stall consisted of only a small sign, a square table, and a not-too-large Si Nan Xiao Sinan, and that was it—not even a person to greet them.

According to the academy's regulations, each club must set up a booth when recruiting new members. However, the setup in this World's Little Corner can only be described as shoddy. It's as if "we only set up a booth because we had no other choice," and the location is so remote, blocked by walls and roadside trees...

So that's how it is...

In this World's Little Corner, they have no intention of hiring at all; rather, they simply don't want to be discovered.

"They're only making the bare minimum of their club activities, deliberately trying to appear inconspicuous. It seems this club wants to keep a low profile... Interesting, I'm getting curious."

"I never knew you had a curious side..."

"Buddha, Buddha, Buddha~ Humanity's quest for the unknown is endless! Come on, Xiao Ye, let's see just what kind of amazing club Si Nan Xiao Dai's is!"

Thanks to Haoyue's efforts, we successfully obtained a detailed map of the various student organizations from the Central United Academy, making it easy to see the activity departments in World's Little Corner.

They marched forward triumphantly! And then--

"It's surprisingly close, Xiao Ye..."

"Yes..."

It's not just nearby, it's right next to the Mikael Girls' Academy.

Less than a kilometer away from the Mikael Girls' Academy is Changting Liberal Arts College, another of the top twelve prestigious universities. Although Changting Liberal Arts College is co-educational, the proportion of female students exceeds 90%, making it almost like an all-girls school. The two schools have always maintained a friendly relationship and occasionally hold exchange meetings or student exchange programs.

Between the two schools are several streets with an old European style. They were very lively decades ago, but they have gradually become deserted since the new commercial street was built. Now only a few shops are still open, and most are empty. The headquarters of World's Little Corner is located on the most remote street, and no one usually passes by.

"... Is this it?"

"It seems I was right..."

A gust of wind blew by, stirring up dust on the street and adding to the desolation.

I looked at the three-story building in front of me, which seemed to blend into the background. The walls of the building were covered with ivy, and the steps outside the door had many cracks. It looked like an abandoned house. But upon closer inspection, I found that although the street outside was dusty, the steps of the building were spotless and the windows were clean.

"...!"

Just as I looked out the window, a figure flashed past behind it; it seemed to be a child.

So there's someone inside...?

Knock, knock, knock, I knocked on the door.

"Excuse me, is this the 'World's Little Corner' club? We'd like to visit --"

No one came to open the door.

But if you listen carefully, you can hear people whispering on the other side of the door.

There are guests outside...

"Do you want to join the club?"

"That can't be, in a place like ours..."

"I saw them from the window! Two super pretty older sisters!"

"Then joining the club is even less likely..."

"Could it be... that they've come to cause trouble?"

"Then let Sister Sakura Dance beat them to a pulp!"

"Keep your voice down... Sister Monet, could you go open the door?"

"Waaah... Fine, if I don't go to hell, who will!"

With a click, the door opened.

"Excuse me... what brings you two here?"

A girl who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old peeked out. She was thinner than her peers, and her once pretty face was now slightly sunken. Her gaze darted around, avoiding eye contact with us. Behind her were several other young girls, each only about ten years old.

"Ah, hello everyone, this must be World's Little Corner. We're here for a visit."

"Ah... um, welcome... no, please... wait a minute, okay?"

The girl shrank back into the room somewhat awkwardly, and the chaotic sounds of conversation resumed.

"Wow, wow, talking to such a beautiful woman is so difficult! Where's Sister Sakura Dance? Where's Sister Sakura Dance?"

"Xiao Fan has already gone to call her!"

"That's great--"

"Hey, I rarely get a short nap... what's up?"

A new voice has emerged.

Unlike those young girls, she has a more mature and androgynous voice.

She possesses both the delicate beauty of a young girl and the resolute spirit of a warrior.

I involuntarily tensed my muscles.

The newcomer is no ordinary person...

"So, those so-called visitors are you?"

The first thing that catches the eye is a pair of flawless legs.

The thighs are full and shapely, with a moderate amount of flesh outlining a perfect curve, combining sexiness and agility; the calves are delicate and charming, with the slightly protruding shinbones curving outwards and forming a smooth and rounded arc with the bulging part of the triceps; the full and sexy curves suddenly narrow at the ankles, and a pair of slender and beautiful feet exude infinite allure.

Most importantly, her legs were encased in red over-the-knee stockings, which were covered with holes of all sizes. It was unclear whether the holes were accidentally torn or if it was part of the style. Tiny patches of snow-white skin peeked out from the holes, making one's blood boil!

These are absolutely the most beautiful legs I've ever seen.

... Huh?

Those beautiful legs... where have I seen them before?

Looking up, a stunningly beautiful face came into view.

Haoyue once said that my beauty is a violent attack that breaks down a person's defenses, while her beauty is a refreshing nectar. But the woman in front of us, who is about the same age as us, has a completely different kind of beauty.

It was a perfect combination of aloofness and wildness.

Her indifferent black eyes were like black holes, unfathomable, as if one could be sucked in with just a glance. The corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, adding a touch of coldness and strength. Below was a straight, upturned nose, its simple lines outlining a beautiful curve, extremely pleasing to the eye. Her thin, pale pink lips were tightly pressed together, lacking color, which, while making her appear even colder, possessed an irresistible allure. Behind her head was long, black hair that reached her hips. For a woman, this hair was slightly messy, but it added to her wild charm, perfectly suited to her.

Her dress is also very individual, as if she is in contrast to Haoyue, who is wearing an elegant cheongsam. Her clothes reveal a strong punk style. The upper body is a black suede leather jacket, which is decorated with chains and other accessories, and there is a decorative leather collar around the neck. Under the leather jacket is a white tight-fitting short shirt. , revealing her snow-white belly and beautiful navel. She wears very short leather hot pants with a thick black and white belt. Under the hot pants is a pair of extremely beautiful legs wrapped in ripped stockings and high leather boots. Overall, the visual impact is not very strong, and it does not match her temperament.

That's a rare sight indeed.

Some people may not be used to her temperament and style, but in my opinion, the girl in front of me is definitely a beauty on par with me or Haoyue.
