Chapter 109

"Ah... I'm so full..."

Wishdale sat under a tree, casually tossing aside the fish bones he had been gnawing on.

After eating and drinking his fill, Wishdale truly came back to life this time.

But this also led Wishdale to gradually discover some small details that she had not noticed before.

For example, there is no such word as 'American Cockroach' in Terra, but strangely enough, when Wishdale heard it, he understood that the word referred to 'cockroach'.

For example, didn't that male voice say earlier? He searched an area within a hundred miles and didn't see any food—

How did that man manage to survey such a large area in such a short time?

With these questions in mind, Wishdale tentatively asked, "Who exactly are you? What is your purpose? You couldn't have saved me just on a whim, could you? Or is this just some kind of twisted hobby of yours?"

Wishdale used to work as a mercenary.

Therefore, she was well aware of the perverse tastes of some so-called 'high society' people.

For example, adopting a homeless orphan, pampering her like a little princess, letting her immerse herself in this blissful state, and then, on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, turning her into a slave or prostitute, just to see the moment she suffers a mental breakdown.

Wishdale did not believe in selfless kindness, except, of course, for her Highness Theresia.

Therefore, Wishdale would naturally assume the worst about the man's purpose.

That's not quite it.

Chen Ran looked at the semi-transparent pop-up window in front of him, which depicted Wishdale's inner thoughts, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

[If you want to see the moment you have a mental breakdown American Cockroach, I don't actually need to go through all this trouble; I can just show you a picture.]

Right.

It was the beautiful and heartwarming photo of Theresia and 'Little Wei' that Chen Ran downloaded from the semi-transparent pop-up window in the Angel Line.

Wishdale only needed to glance at this photograph, and then at the devastated world she found herself in, Worldline where everyone was dead—

Wishdale himself would go insane.

"Photo...?"

When Wishdale heard this, she didn't know what the so-called 'photograph' was.

But both reason and a woman's intuition were warning her.

What that male voice said is true; it's best not to ask or look.

Wishdale: "..."

So Wishdale decisively gave up.

She really didn't ask any more questions, but just turned her head to look around and said, "You bastard, can you see if there are any clean clothes to change into nearby?"

Wishdale asked the question, but received no response.

This surprised Wishdale, who then decisively gave him the middle finger. "You can kill me, but I won't call you that again."

What are you shouting?

Of course, you should call him 'Dad'.

After all, the last time that man suddenly stopped responding, he was probably just waiting to take advantage of her.

So you're coming again this time?

Oh, that's a pity.

[But what do you need clean clothes for, American Cockroach?]

"You dare call me 'American Cockroach' again and see what happens?"

After a moment of impotent rage, Wishdale finally said, "Taking a bath, huh? The first thing you said to me was, 'If you want to take a bath, come to this stream!'"

Forgot

However, regarding clean clothes...

[Have]

Where?

Upon hearing this, Wishdale stood up.

Head north, and you'll find Rhodes Island; head east, and you'll find Higashi.

[Little Wei, why don't you choose one?]

"...What kind of weird nickname is 'Little Wei'? I'm about to throw up."

Wishdale rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

Makes it sound so easy, Rhodes Island? Higashi?

This is straddling two countries, two countries, okay? Not just two streets.

Why does it look like it's just a short walk away?

So Wishdale decisively gave up on finding clean clothes, stood up, kicked off his boots, and took off his little red jacket.

Wow, we've only just met, isn't it a bit much to give out perks so soon?

"Roll."

Wishdale seemed too lazy to pay attention to the male voice, gave him the middle finger, then took off his hot pants, lifted his underwear, and waded naked into the stream.

What could she possibly be shy about?

Everyone's dead, completely dead, you understand?

And this Wishdale was being far too bold. First, he tested the water temperature, then let out a "whoosh—", followed by a "plop—", and finally exclaimed, "Damn! Why is this stream so shallow? My ass... ouch..."

What was once a beautiful Phoebe playing in the water and a beautiful woman emerging from her bath was ruined by Wishdale, who turned Chen Ran's big head into a small one.

To be honest, I've always been quite curious, Little Wei, what did you eat to grow up to have such a great figure?

"What should I eat? I grew up suffering."

So that's why those Angels had such slender figures—they ate too many sweets!

There was no soap or shampoo.

Wishdale simply rinsed herself in the water to wash away the dust and dirt, making her clean and white again.

Wishdale then reached the shore.

Since she had no new clean clothes to change into, Wishdale had no choice but to throw her old, dirty clothes in the water, rub them a few times, and then find some branches to hang them up to dry.

"I'm tired of it..."

Wishdale sat naked under the tree, staring at the leaping campfire in front of her, muttering to herself, "Hey, you bastard, find something to have fun with, or I'll die again."

Wishdale really wanted to die.

Her mental state was still unstable. She seemed to have recovered before, but it was only because Chen Ran spoke that Wishdale had the illusion that she was not the only one still alive.

But now that it was getting late and the surroundings were deathly silent, without even the chirping of insects, Wishdale began to think, "Everyone is dead... so why am I the only one who survived?"

There's not much fun to be had, but if you're looking for something to do, there's plenty.

First, go to Rhodes Island and see if there are any survivors. This should be the main quest.

[Second, since everyone's dead, you can go anywhere in the mall, go to the free shopping section, and exchange for all kinds of dresses and stockings.]

[Third, return to Kazdel, destroy the furnace, absorb all the Souls inside, and instantly become a super-super-super-large cup.]

It's very simple. Just pick one of the big head, small head, or rabbit head to do.

Chen Ran didn't care. He just needed to wait until Wishdale's mental state stabilized so he could get her out.
