"To be honest, it's quite tiring."

There are few stars at night.

As the clock struck midnight.

Centaurea had just returned from killing someone, also sighed wearily.

"During the day, I have to sing and dance, and deal with that naive and innocent young lady. At night, I have to watch a whole bunch of things that are bad for my eyes."

"I feel like it's a double blow, both physically and psychologically. Oh, by the way, can I use this as a reason to extort some workers' compensation from that rich girl?"

As she spoke, Centaurea took off her jacket.

She didn't even look at it, and casually tossed the clothes behind her.

But the garment didn't fall to the ground; instead, it seemed to be caught by an invisible hand and hung on a hanger to the side.

"But speaking of which, what is my young lady doing right now? Is she eavesdropping again?"

"Little Platinum, why don't you go see for yourself? Just kick open your young lady's bedroom door and yell, 'Young lady, come warm my bed!'"

Chen Ran's voice rang in Centaurea's mind.

"Forget it, I don't have that kind of fetish, and I'm tired. I don't want to have to deal with that naive girl late at night."

As she spoke, Centaurea leaned back and fell backward.

But she didn't fall to the floor; instead, she was caught steadily by an invisible hand.

"So could you please go and see what that young lady is doing?"

"Your young lady is in the library... Oh, she seems to be looking through materials about legends of Evil God?"

"Ha... I don't understand that young lady."

Centaurea sighed softly and sat down in the palm of that large hand.

With her head resting on her head and her legs raised, Centaurea's high-heeled toes bounced up and down.

"Um."

Centaurea let out a snort, as if urging something.

After waiting a while and seeing no response, Centaurea lifted her toes again and hummed through her nose, "Hmm."

"Stop mumbling."

Chen Ran's voice rang out. "Little Platinum, you've gotten used to me pretty quickly, haven't you? On the first day you were worried about this Demons, but now that your power has recovered enough to interfere with reality, you're already treating me like a little helper at home?"

"Since my final soul will be sacrificed to you anyway, I might as well take advantage of the time I'm still alive, order you around, and enjoy myself."

Centaurea seemed to have seen through the world's illusions, living each day as it comes and enjoying each day to the fullest.

So, before she could finish speaking, her high heels were removed by another invisible hand.

Then, as her toes clearly felt a warm, enveloping sensation, the white stockings on her legs were peeled off by those invisible hands, as if unraveling a cocoon.

Soon after, Centaurea was stripped naked.

"Oh... speaking of which, why are you also completely naked, Little Platinum?"

Chen Ran's voice rang out.

"Because I'm an idol, full-body hair removal is a must."

Centaurea yawned and said, "After all, nobody wants to see their idol wearing a little skirt, singing and dancing on stage, only to have their leg hair exposed when the skirt flutters."

Centaurea really wasn't shy at all.

Not only could she say such things without any expression, but she also enjoyed the privilege of being treated like royalty, where she didn't even have to take off her own clothes and was served by a personal attendant.

"I have to say, it's actually quite useful."

Centaurea started making rude remarks.

"It works well, right?"

Chen Ran wasn't annoyed when he heard this, he just smiled and said, "Then do you need me to give you a bath next, Little Platinum?"

"Oh, please go ahead."

Centaurea seemed completely indifferent.

"Oh ho, this time you won't call me Slaanesh?"

Chen Ran joked.

"Ah, right, right, right..."

Centaurea yawned. "I wonder which Demons it was that used to say I was humiliating myself when they talked about my figure. What, have your tastes changed? Are you starting to like me now?"

"I am not fond of copper."

"?"

The enormous, invisible hand grasped Centaurea and led her to the bathroom.

First, I gave her a thorough soaking, then I rinsed her in the bathtub.

Centaurea felt that Chen Ran, this extraterrestrial Demons, was retaliating wantonly, but she had no evidence.

However, considering that Chen Ran helped her wipe her body, dried her hair, and even put a nightgown on her, so she didn't have to lift a finger and could simply enjoy being served—

Centaurea decided to forgive Chen Ran.

"Speaking of Little Platinum, I only just realized that your laid-back attitude of just getting by day by day didn't actually develop after you became Platinum Seat and endured so many years of corporate torture."

Chen Ran moved a small chair over, reached one hand into the planet model in front of him, and used his phone to browse the Wiki with the other.

"That 'Drifting with the Wind' section of 'The Redwood Forest' was a real opening thunderbolt!"

"When you first graduated, your Little Platinum was to 'sing and dance, make more money while you're young, and then retire early'."

"So this 'slacking off' attitude of yours is innate, right? It's just that the life of a corporate slave has amplified this trait, or maybe you've just become too lazy to pretend?"

"No wonder I was thinking, even though you became an idol in this Worldline, Little Platinum, it still feels so familiar."

In the past, when Chen Ran complained like this, Centaurea would either say something like, "Who exactly is Little Platinum?" or at least give a few perfunctory replies like, "Oh, right, right."

But not this time.

So Chen Ran put down his phone and turned his gaze back to the planet model in front of him.

"Little Platinum? Little Platinum, I'm talking to you, can you hear me?"

Following the gaze, one could see that Centaurea had already taken a shower and put on her pajamas, was lying in bed.

However, for some reason, Centaurea's cheeks were slightly flushed, she was exhaling a sweet breath, and her body was even swaying gently.

So why is that?

Chen Ran, who was holding Centaurea in his palm and wantonly toying with her with his fingertips, couldn't help but ask this question.
