You're a Good Person, but I'm Not

"Where'd this ugly girl come from?"

Ciri didn't look very good at the moment. Not only was she filthy and downcast, but her face was covered in soot, making her look downright ugly.

Harley Quinn liked pretty things, so she almost brought a baseball bat down on her.

"Cough, cough!"

Kara was deeply moved by this.

She had just promised Ciri that no one would dislike her.

And then she had immediately been proven wrong.

Fortunately, there was a silver lining: Ciri couldn't understand the language of this world.

But human expressions were universal, and Ciri saw the disdain on Harley Quinn's face.

Kara quickly stepped in front of her, then glared at Harley Quinn.

"Don't mind her. She's a bad woman."

At the words "bad woman," Ciri immediately nodded.

She really was a bad woman.

"Where's Godfather?"

Kara asked with a stern expression.

"He's resting. He's exhausted."

Harley Quinn looked radiant. Compared with Godfather's exhaustion, the sight made Kara furious.

Those two had been fooling around while she was gone!

Li Ang was suffering in silence. He had agreed when Harley Quinn suggested trying something more challenging without realizing what he was getting into.

But who could have guessed...

Harley Quinn had trained for this!

She was practically an athlete!

And not just any athlete—she was good enough to compete in the Olympics.

"Ciri, come in."

Kara hurriedly called Ciri inside. Ciri carefully stepped in, then stood by the entrance, afraid to move.

After all, the house looked incredibly luxurious to her. Aside from the tables and a few other things, almost everything was unfamiliar, and the place was spotless.

Ciri suddenly felt ashamed of herself.

"Kara, who's this?"

Li Ang walked out of the room.

"Godfather, this is Siria. She's the Princess of Cintra. Cintra is from another world."

Kara immediately explained what had just happened.

"Pfft!"

Li Ang had been drinking water and nearly spat it out.

He immediately looked at Ciri. She was anything but unfamiliar.

He had played The Witcher 3 back in the day. Ciri had been young and beautiful in it, leaving a deep impression on him.

But this... ugly girl was Ciri?

Still, people changed as they grew up, and Li Ang quickly accepted it.

He immediately thought of Ciri's special nature.

There was nothing particularly extraordinary about Ciri's world, aside from the existence of some magic.

Well, the Sorceresses had certainly been memorable.

Yennefer, who used lilac and gooseberries, and the red-haired enchantress Triss...

But the most important one was Ciri.

Ciri's bloodline was extremely special!

She was a Source Wielder and a successor of the Elder Blood.

How special was the Elder Blood?

It allowed Ciri to control time and space!

In other words, the reason Ciri could travel from Cintra to this place so easily was that she carried the Elder Blood within her.

Although it hadn't awakened yet, and no one knew how she had managed it...

Once Ciri grew up, she would be able to travel between worlds with ease.

In the game, Geralt asked Ciri which worlds she had visited.

Ciri told him that she had been to another world where humans had metal blocks in their heads and could use devices similar to telescopes to wage war from afar.

People had speculated that it was the world of Cyberpunk 2077.

It was precisely because of this miraculous power that Ciri was also known as the Child of Time and Space.

And now, the Child of Time and Space was right before him.

Li Ang wanted to master this power as well!

"Godfather?"

Kara's puzzled voice interrupted Li Ang's thoughts.

"I understand."

Li Ang nodded. "Kara, take Ciri to wash up first, then give her some of your clothes. Is that all right?"

Kara was a little reluctant, but she sympathized with Ciri's situation and naturally agreed.

Both girls had lost their homes and been left wandering.

"Ciri, this is my Godfather."

"Godfather."

Ciri obediently came over to greet him.

Li Ang, however, was completely bewildered.

He couldn't understand her!

Fortunately, he had his Super Brain. After all, he had acquired Kara's physique, and he soon taught himself Ciri's language.

"Good. Since you're all alone and helpless here, you can stay from now on. You can become my goddaughter like Kara. How does that sound?"

Seeing how sensibly she had called him Godfather, Li Ang simply went along with it.

"Huh?"

Both Kara and Ciri were a little stunned.

Kara quickly became delighted. "Ciri, say yes. Godfather is a very good person."

"And we'll be able to live together from now on."

Kara had been worried that Li Ang wouldn't accept Ciri, but it seemed she had worried for nothing.

Godfather really was a good person!

"All right. Thank you."

Ciri was still somewhat timid around strangers.

"All right, Kara. Take her to wash up."

Kara took Ciri to the bathroom.

Inside, Ciri stared blankly at all the unfamiliar objects.

"I'll teach you."

Kara had anticipated this and thoughtfully began helping her.

"This is the showerhead. We don't have a bathtub. Turn it on this way, and hot water will come out."

Kara demonstrated.

"Wow! Water comes out that easily?"

Ciri was utterly astonished.

In Cintra, people had to fetch water themselves if they wanted to use it.

Of course, she was a Princess, so she had servants to do it for her.

After teaching her how to use everything, Kara said, "Wash yourself. I'll go get you some clothes."

"All right, thank you, Kara!"

Ciri hurriedly thanked her.

Only after Kara left did Ciri feel as though she were in a dream.

She had clearly still been fleeing for her life, yet she had suddenly arrived in this place.

This was truly a miraculous journey.

As she thought this, Ciri looked at herself in the mirror. She hurriedly tore off her tattered clothes in disgust, then stepped under the water.

"So comfortable!"

"You're really going to take her in?"

In the living room, Harley Quinn looked at Li Ang.

She hadn't understood the language just now, but Li Ang's meaning had been clear.

"For Kara."

Li Ang said, "It wasn't easy for Kara to finally find a friend."

Harley Quinn wasn't sure whether she believed him. Her eyes kept darting around, clearly suggesting she was plotting something.

In truth, Harley Quinn had also noticed that there was something unusual about Ciri.

She simply didn't know about the Elder Blood or that Ciri would later be able to control interworld travel.

Otherwise, she would certainly have been tempted as well.

"It won't be easy to support four people on a single salary."

Harley Quinn immediately spoke up, looking as though she were considering Li Ang's welfare.

"So?"

Li Ang was in Sage Time and wasn't about to be fooled by her.

He was completely unmoved by her beauty.

Harley Quinn deliberately moved closer. "We need to make money."

"How?"

Li Ang asked.

"Black Mask is dead, and his territory is leaderless. That's Upper East Side..."

"No."

Harley Quinn hadn't finished when Li Ang rejected the idea outright.

"We're all good people, not gangsters."

Across both his lives, Li Ang had never done anything like that, so he naturally refused.

But Harley Quinn smiled. "You're a good person, but I'm not. Let me manage it!"
