Add one more person and they could probably play mahjong together.
"I didn't expect you to be such a pervert, Dream-chan."
Miku gave her a surprised, slightly excited look.
She had thought Lingmeng was the serious, no-nonsense type.
Apparently, she had been completely wrong.
She was a goofy, cheerful girl who loved a good quip.
Lingmeng answered casually.
"If you can't afford the consequences, go all out anyway! I may look like an innocent sixteen-year-old girl, but I've got the soul of an old lech!"
She shouted it with a hint of pride.
"Hehe~ So you're a seasoned pervert too, Dream-chan? If we became friends, I bet we'd have plenty to talk about~"
Miku chuckled softly.
But then her expression dimmed.
She might have said that, but she knew her chances of becoming friends with Lingmeng were vanishingly small.
After all, they wanted to seal her Spirit Power. If she lost it, she would go back to being the girl she once was, a girl who had nothing but her singing.
They stood on opposite sides.
Once this was over, barring some surprise, they would probably never have anything to do with one another again.
Before they came here, they had agreed that if Miku helped them, Shido would give up on sealing her Spirit Power.
And if they weren't going to seal it, Lingmeng and the others probably wouldn't come looking for her again.
How could she put it? She felt a little reluctant to let them go.
Lingmeng and the others weren't under her control. Unlike everyone else, they wouldn't obey her every command.
But after the short time they had spent together, being with them had begun to feel more real.
It wasn't a relationship where slaves obeyed their queen without question.
It felt more like friendship.
