The silver-haired girl spoke casually.
"I've already placed an order for twenty boxes of food."
She shook her phone, its screen showing that the order had just gone through.
Master Bronya merely possessed a tiny bit of money power.
"Zerg, don't go with this silver-haired brat! I guarantee you won't go hungry after this!"
Kiana gritted her teeth.
She only had the hundred thousand yen she'd won from the lottery, but compared to that silver-haired brat, she wasn't even in the same league.
The transaction amount displayed on the other girl's phone was in the millions of yen.
The white-haired dumpling had never had that much money in her life.
But she absolutely wouldn't give up little Zerg!
"Let Zerg choose?"
Volume One: Little White-Haired Dumpling, How Ridiculous
The little child blinked his sparkling eyes.
Kiana was a kind person who fed him, and Bronya was also a kind person who fed him.
Zerg couldn't choose.
Umm...
He had it!
He'd thought of a great idea.
"You should both come with Zerg!"
That was what the little child said.
Adults made choices. Children wanted everything!
"..." x2.
Kiana and Bronya both fell silent.
"Zerg will protect you!"
Zerg declared.
"Heh."
Bronya smiled faintly.
She walked over to the child and patted his head.
A child this small—she should be the one protecting him.
"I should be protecting you, Zerg!"
The white-haired dumpling insisted that she should be the one protecting little Zerg.
Look at how tiny and cute Zerg was. If he walked down the street, some strange, creepy woman could easily kidnap him.
Like that silver-haired brat over there.
"Zerg really is strong!"
Zerg grew a little anxious.
He looked around.
Then the little child ran over to a streetlamp on his short little legs.
Under the gazes of the two girls—
He opened his mouth wide.
"Crunch."
The metal streetlamp was bitten clean through.
At the same time, crackling electric sparks flashed inside the child's mouth.
"!" x2.
The little child held up the streetlamp, which was far bigger than he was.
"See? Zerg is super strong!"
That was what he said.
Then the little child was knocked to the ground by the white-haired dumpling.
Kiana hurriedly pried Zerg's mouth open.
"Zerg!"
Those crackling sparks were obviously not something an ordinary person could endure.
He had just bitten through a streetlamp. When Kiana saw the sparks in his mouth, she was so frightened she nearly fainted.
"..."
Bronya instinctively looked at the hand she'd had swallowed earlier.
She didn't think her hand was harder than metal.
"This child... is he some modified human who escaped from a laboratory?"
The silver-haired girl speculated about Zerg's origins.
If that was the case, she couldn't simply stand by.
Zerg's values had clearly not yet formed.
If he fell into the hands of a bad person... such a cute child might become a monster that devoured people.
Bronya couldn't accept that.
And this white-haired girl named Kiana clearly didn't have the strength to protect Zerg.
After all, what was the use of being able to fight these days? To make it in the world, you still needed power and connections.
Bronya was, regrettably, the adopted daughter of Anti-Entropy's radical faction leader.
Other than Schicksal, no organization should be stronger than Anti-Entropy.
Even if this child had escaped from one of Schicksal's secret laboratories, she was confident she could protect him—
At the very least, she should be able to hide him.
"..."
Meanwhile, Kiana stuck her fingers into Zerg's mouth and held it open, trying to see whether he had been hurt anywhere.
Yet after looking around, the white-haired girl only saw a soft pink tongue.
There were no wounds, no blood... nothing.
"Mmm..."
Because he was being fiddled with, Zerg couldn't speak properly.
His innocent eyes met Kiana's.
Only then did the white-haired dumpling realize what she was doing.
"..."
A blush instantly climbed up her cheeks.
What am I doing?!
Kiana recalled what she'd just done—
It was as though she were toying with this young child.
Only a pervert would do something like that!
But Kiana had never thought of herself as a pervert!
"Hello, police? There's a pervert here making a move on a little child."
Bronya's cool voice came from behind her.
That white-haired girl had pushed the child to the ground. She was definitely trying to make Zerg service her!
The righteous Bronya couldn't possibly stand by and watch.
The white-haired dumpling whipped around.
The girl was holding her phone as if she were calling the police.
Kiana glared at her.
Bronya simply ignored the white-haired dumpling's glare.
She had already decided to take Zerg away.
This child was clearly no ordinary person. He seemed very much like an experimental subject who had undergone biological modification.
The silver-haired girl felt a sense of kinship with him.
After all, she herself was a victim of some experiment.
"Don't think about running. Bronya will be watching you."
Send Kiana to the police station, then adopt Zerg herself.
That was the best choice for everyone.
This way, this poor white-haired dumpling wouldn't have to worry about shadowy forces in the world setting their sights on her.
"You..."
Kiana was truly angry this time.
She rolled up her sleeves, intending to knock out this silver-haired brat before figuring out a way to flee with Zerg.
Though if she did that, she might not be able to stay in Japan.
But it didn't matter.
The world was vast. Anywhere could be home.
Besides, she had a miraculous [Dimensional Chat Group]. Perhaps future members could help her find her lousy dad.
But today—
If she didn't give this silver-haired brat a beating, Kiana couldn't quell the anger in her heart.
After being misunderstood again and again, even she would get angry.
"Letting Bronya take Zerg away is the best outcome."
The silver-haired girl's voice remained as calm as ever.
"Zerg has clearly undergone biological modification surgery. With only yourself, there's no way you can protect him from the pursuit of whoever is pulling the strings behind the scenes."
That was what she said.
"..."
Zerg was clearly a friend from another world. Since when had he become connected to this world?
Kiana was completely baffled.
But she quickly realized something.
This silver-haired brat didn't have the [Dimensional Chat Group].
Bronya then noticed the inexplicable superiority rising in the white-haired dumpling's eyes.
"?"
Having just connected to the internet through Heavy Bunny, the silver-haired girl had determined that Kiana undoubtedly had no background whatsoever.
