No need for explanations!! Go die to me!!!!
He had been somewhat hesitant at first, but seeing Fang Ran's actions and suspicious attitude from just a moment ago, Ling instantly guessed the truth!
On top of that, the wife that came flying out of Fang Ran's suicidal mouth had completely enraged Ling!
Telekinesis swept over him, and Fang Ran felt his ankles get grabbed before he was hoisted upside down in midair!
The entire scene was exceptionally humiliating!
Fang Ran, wearing nothing but boxers, and an angry Ling played out a torture play just like a slave and a queen!
"You idiot, what on earth did you do to provoke those troublesome factions?!"
Bang!
Driven by telekinesis, Fang Ran was thrown into a locker by Ling like a clump of clothing tossed into a washing machine!
"Y-y-you don't come over!"
Frightened out of his wits by the rough toss, Fang Ran nervously shivered as he pulled a piece of clothing toward himself, looking at Ling as if she were a bad guy.
"Explain what's going on to me right now!"
Ling's voice was so calm that Fang Ran found it terrifying. He swallowed nervously, just about to carefully open his mouth to explain, when someone's voice suddenly rang out in the corridor!
"Eh? Wang Ru, you haven't gone back yet?!"
"What the hell!"
Startled, Fang Ran let out a low gasp, frantically looking around for a place to hide, only to see the sexy black garter belt still in his hand.
Damn it!
Where is there to hide?!
The person's underwear is still in your hand!!
"I'm dead! I'm dead! I'm dead!"
Shivering all over, Fang Ran thought to himself. Seriously, it's already pitch dark outside, so why is there still someone in the club building?!
"Right! The Float!"
Struck by a sudden inspiration, Fang Ran remembered he could use The Float to fly up and out. He immediately sprinted toward the shattered window, conveniently summoning the Silver Severing Dragon Tooth with the intention of jumping out the window!
Thump!
Fang Ran felt as though he had crashed into an invisible wall!
"Do you have to be this ruthless, Queen! I was wrong, I was really wrong!!"
Realizing that his own summoned beast had given him a horribly dirty trick, Fang Ran didn't dare resist in the slightest, begging for mercy with a pitiful expression.
Yet Ling merely hovered to the side, floating up to stand atop the lockers while pretending to be a power bank, showing not the slightest intention of helping Fang Ran.
Traitor!
You actually sold me out!
Tears streamed down Fang Ran's face at that moment. He hopped around frantically like a rabbit, so panicked he didn't know what to do.
"Who's there? Is someone still here?"
The newcomer's voice drew closer and closer, and Fang Ran felt as though his thoughts were about to grind to a halt!
Right now, he was wearing nothing but a pair of boxers!
This was a million times more critical than when he had first broken in!
To think he walked right into a night battle, and not only did things fail to improve!
It was even more screwing than before!
The footsteps grew clearer and clearer, and Fang Ran could already hear the sound of that person about to open the door!
Damn it! Wasn't there any life-saving method at all?!
Right at that moment!
A thick bolt of inspiration flashed through Fang Ran's mind! He suddenly realized the one and only method that could save him right now!
Even if it meant paying a heavy price!
Hearing the sound of the person outside having already reached the door, Fang Ran gritted his teeth fiercely and pulled out The Illusion!
"Who is it? Huh? The light was clearly replaced with a good one today, right? Why isn't it on?"
Xia Yao looked strangely at the door of the female locker room. It was dark, yet she had clearly heard someone's voice just moments ago.
It was almost midnight now, and it was pitch black outside; besides herself, someone was still here? From another club?
Hesitating for a moment, Xia Yao pushed open the door and vaguely caught sight of a figure, startling her immensely!
"Who!?"
The lights clicked on.
"Eh!"
Both Xia Yao and the other person jumped in fright, and only then did Xia Yao clearly see the person inside the female locker room.
It was a girl of roughly her own height, with fine, silver-gray hair resting on her shoulders and snow-white skin exposed to the air. Her pretty, delicate face was covering her chest with clothing just like a startled little deer.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I walked in while you were changing."
Xia Yao dazed for a second, then immediately snapped back to her senses and apologized.
Huh? That looked a bit like her own clothes.
"Ah, n-n-no problem, th-that"
The girl hurriedly waved her hands, her gaze darting about vaguely and incoherently, but Xia Yao had already figured it out and smiled with understanding.
"Are you from the cosplay club?"
"Ah,... yeah..."
A look of surprise crossed the girl's face, as if she were taken aback by how Xia Yao had guessed it.
"I have a junior clubmate in the cosplay club too; I knew the moment I saw your silver hair." Xia Yao smiled and explained, "Right, did you run into some trouble?"
Pointing at the hands the girl was using to cover her chest, Xia Yao asked with a smile, while inwardly guessing that the other person was probably practicing just as late as she was.
"My clothes went missing."
The girl spoke in a soft voice, looking entirely too afraid to speak.
"Just as I thought! That pervert really stole other things today, too!?"
"By the way, I'm Xia Yao. I haven't asked what your name is yet?"
Xia Yao gnashed her teeth inwardly, thinking that if she caught this pervert, she would definitely teach him a thorough lesson!
Little did she know, the culprit dubbed the pervert was right in front of her eyes.
And panicking out of her mind!
"F-f-fang..."
This girl with fine silver-gray hair was, naturally,
Fang Ran under the enhancement of The Illusion.
At this moment, he plunged into immense turmoil!
He genuinely had no other choice. The Float couldn't be used, and neither The Shadow nor the sword cards were of any help. The only method Fang Ran could think of was to disguise himself using The Illusion.
And the only disguise that would give him a normal excuse to be in the female locker room...
Was womenswear.
Damn it!
This price was way too heavy.
Yet Fang Ran had no choice.
Fang Ran had been at a loss ever since Xia Yao walked in, and right now he was caught completely off guard by her question.
Oh sweet goodness! What on earth is my name?!
Fang... Fang... Fang... Fang Ran racked his brain frantically, failing to come up with any normal girl's last name starting with Fang. He desperately searched through every anime he had ever watched when, suddenly, who knew which wire in his head crossed, a name he had once seen surfaced in his mind, and Fang Ran blurted it out without a second thought.
"Cube, my name is Cube."
The moment he finished speaking, however, Fang Ran wanted to give himself two heavy slaps across the face.
Is this what a normal girl would name herself!!
That's why you were told to read fewer magical girl manga when you were a kid!
Did you think you were one of those flying Guardian Characters?!
Cube, Cube, your sister's Cube! Why don't you have a surname, like Russian or something?!
"Cube? Heh, what an interesting name. Is it the first character you've ever cosplayed?"
Xia Yao curved her lips into a smile as well. She knew that the first character one cosplayed in a club easily became the nickname others used to address them, so she didn't find the strange name spoken by the girl before her odd in the least.
"Ah! Yeah! That's right! Exactly! It's that... um, the one from Guardian Characters!!"
Fang Ran nodded in a hurry, then let out a sigh of relief, mentally weeping tears of joy as he gave his own quick wit a thumbs-up.
Phew, thank goodness he named one from an anime.
"Is that so? Well... if you don't mind, wear this for now."
"Is that really okay!?"
Fang Ran exclaimed in excitement. Fantastic, he could finally make a run for it!
Then, as he lowered his head to take a look at the black silk garter belt in his hand, his gaze inadvertently drifted to his own chest.
"Pfft!!!"
"What's wrong with you?"
Startled by Fang Ran's outburst, Xia Yao hurriedly looked toward him.
"N-n-nothing!"
Fang Ran stared straight ahead at Xia Yao, forcefully controlling his line of sight so it wouldn't drift downward. He was a hair's breadth away from feeling like nosebleeds were about to gush out.
Yet an eighteen-magnitude tsunami was raging inside his heart right now!
What the hell!
I only told you to conjure up some womenswear!
I didn't tell you to generate that part for me as well!
Fang Ran bit his lower lip tightly, forcing his gaze upward every two seconds.
Struggling between there's no harm in me taking a glance at myself and no way, this is perverted behavior,
he deeply realized at this moment that The Illusion was an extremely dangerous card.
Too terrifying.
He would never admit that this appearance was shaped by his own subconscious imagination of where he might have seen it before...
Right at that moment, Xia Yao suddenly walked up in front of him, closing the distance to where their breathing could be heard. That pretty, flawless oval face instantly made Fang Ran's heart leap in panic.
"Emmm, Cube, your skin really is nice."
Abruptly, Xia Yao smiled and spoke out, looking with interest at the snow-white skin beneath Fang Ran's head of silver hair.
Damn it! That scared me to death; I thought I'd been exposed!
Xia Yao smiled, then walked over to her own locker, took out all of her clothes, and grabbed the hem of her top with both hands, preparing to flip it upward—
"Wait, wait!! W-what are you doing?!"
Startled like a frightened rabbit, Fang Ran instantly stepped backward.
"Hmm? Changing clothes? It's already very late, Cube, aren't you planning to go back?"
Xia Yao said with a puzzled look. Gazing at Xia Yao's slender, straight legs and the pretty waist revealed by her half-lifted dance costume, Fang Ran—who had been taught since childhood by his parents that he must never do bad things—felt he simply couldn't be shameless enough to stand by and watch.
"I... well"
"Enough!!"
Ling, who had been watching coldly from atop the locker, finally lost all patience. Clenching her fists to forcibly suppress the anger of wanting to beat Fang Ran up, she spoke coldly.
This bottomless pervert had actually gone so far as to pull off something like wearing womenswear!
If she didn't stop him now, would this pervert really get away with taking every single advantage?!
"Get lost right now! I'm going to wipe her memories!"
Ling said, grinding her teeth. She had originally intended to watch Fang Ran get beaten and wildly cursed out as a pervert by that girl, and only wipe Xia Yao's memories afterward, but she hadn't expected...
Damn it! Why did every attempt to screw this guy over end up benefiting him instead?!
Hearing Ling's words, Fang Ran felt as though he had received a grand pardon. Paying no mind to exchanging pleasantries with Xia Yao, he bolted straight for the door!
"Bastard! Leave her clothes behind!!"
