Those blue pupils that had lost focus were as motionless as a machine that had been suddenly turned off.
Looking at the blonde Valkyrie, the store manager suddenly closed his eyes.
Then, there was a long sigh filled with complicated emotions:
“…hiss… ouch…how could this happen…”
"What's wrong with her?" Looking at the blonde girl who had her eyes open but seemed to be unable to see anything, Mei Raiden couldn't help but ask, "Do you know what's going on? Manager?"
"I'd rather not know." The store manager covered his face, looking like he didn't want to face reality. "You should wait until this girl wakes up and ask her yourself."
"?"
The same punctuation mark appeared above everyone's head at the same time. Only Brownie's face changed slightly, and his angry expression turned into surprise in an instant:
"That thing inside her body... is it a world bubble?"
"Yes, that's right." The store manager said in a bleak tone, "So she didn't want to break in on her own, it was simply force majeure."
"??"
After hearing the store manager's explanation, outsiders like Raiden Mei had more question marks in their heads, and Brownie's expression was obviously very melancholy, but his previous anger was extinguished a lot.
"So, I can't blame her."
"..."
The store manager suddenly felt like he didn't know what to say.
If Mei Raiden was an intruder who broke in on her own initiative, and the damage caused by Kiana was due to her personal factors, then the series of strange events brought about by Yulandel really had nothing to do with her.
If I have to say, compared to hers, the reasons on my side are more important.
Therefore, although he felt aggrieved and helpless, the store manager himself did not feel much anger after figuring out the current situation. At most, he just had a sense of absurdity of being manipulated by fate.
At this time, Yulandel's eyes gradually regained focus. She blinked and stared at the manager's exposed chest for two seconds. Her dignified face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She stood up quickly, but fell backwards unconsciously because she exerted too much force.
Originally, with her physical coordination as an S-class Valkyrie, it would be impossible for her to make such a ridiculous mistake.
But due to something that happened just now, her brain and body were still in a state similar to paralysis and stiffness, and almost no muscle in her body obeyed the brain's command.
Fortunately, just before her head was about to hit the ground, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm, abruptly stopping the Valkyrie, who was about to face the most powerful dilemma.
"Are you okay?" the store manager said helplessly, "Be careful, this bedroom can't stand you destroying it again."
It was clearly just an ordinary warning, and the tone was not even friendly at all, but for some reason, that clear and clean voice made the girl's ears stir, her cheeks burned, and the tip of her nose was so hot that it seemed like she was going to bleed.
"Thank you, thank you..."
The strongest Valkyrie, whose mind was still a little dazed, thanked him subconsciously after she managed to stand up straight, but she soon realized that something was wrong with her condition.
She took a step back with astonishing momentum, but her tone of voice was unprecedentedly flustered: "No, that's not right! Why, why do I feel... Tell me the truth! You, what did you do to me? If you don't explain clearly, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Although the content of the words was close to coercion, combined with the girl's weak and even trembling tone, these words that were close to coercion sounded more like a bluffing plea for mercy.
Chapter 4 Sorry, Rita (k)
No! No, I didn’t mean to speak in that tone! The strongest Valkyrie roared in her heart. I wanted to question her in a more powerful and severe tone, why...
“…It really turned out like this.” Looking at the blonde girl who was trying to remain calm but whose calves were shaking with fear and incomprehension, and a layer of sweat was unconsciously oozing out of her forehead, the young store manager sat down on Brownie’s bed with a bleak face.
8４6ｅｓ7６ｅ4＾＆2ｚ5：0Ｈ2（ｌ1妍;,希,'中?!转""①??群'：;8:;3':7;.7!8;3"?8"5''3他从地上拾起了自己的外套，随意地披在身上，目视前方，焦点涣散地对着金发少女招了招手：“来，坐下，我们好好谈谈。”
The moment I heard these words, my body moved before I thought.
In less than a second, Youlandel sat down next to the store manager, like a golden retriever that had only received orders from its owner.
That submissive attitude made Mei Raiden, Kiana, and Fu Hua take a step back at the same time. The manager's sidelong glance showed a hint of suspicion mixed with scrutiny.
The corners of the store manager's mouth twitched for a long time. He wanted to protest for himself, but he felt that none of the reasons in his heart could be explained in detail to these girls whom he met for the first time.
What's more, even if the reason is explained, the facts that have already happened cannot be erased.
So he could only support his forehead and sigh to the sky, not knowing how to describe the powerlessness and fucked up feeling in his heart.
"Eh...why...why..."
The confusion, bewilderment, and bewilderment that surged into her chest caused the eyes of the strongest Valkyrie who had been invincible in the entire destiny to completely lose focus. Her pupils, which had always been quite firm, rolled up like trembling earthworms and became a mess.
But before that... an extremely strong feeling of security and warmth was stuffed into her brain in an extremely rough form, which made Yulandel's thinking, which was already confused due to the loss of control of her body, even more confused.
Obviously, Yulandel's mind had told her that everything that happened to this boy and herself was very wrong, and she should keep a certain safe distance from him and remain vigilant. But no matter how she tried to move her hands and feet, her body... no, not just her body, but even her brain and thoughts completely refused any move away from this boy.
Things have come to this point. No matter how unwilling or unconvinced she is, Yulandel can only be forced to admit that she has suffered an unprecedented defeat.
She bit her tongue hard, trying to use the pain to suppress the peace of mind and warmth that kept flooding into her brain, and then mobilized all her mind, trying to understand the boy's intentions as much as possible from his mouth: "Gu——! What...what on earth did you do to my body...! What...what on earth do you want to do to me?!"
The store manager rested his elbows on his knees and placed his hands together under his nose.
He did not immediately answer Yulandel's question that was full of anxiety, but shook his chin towards the door: "Brownie, please send them out first. I have something to discuss with this... Miss Valkyrie."
Brownie shrugged. "Alas, there's nothing I can do. You better be careful and don't push this girl down by accident. Although she should be completely unable to resist you now, both physically and mentally..."
"What—" In an instant, Yulandel's brain went blank and her heart was beating rapidly.
Although she was slow, she did not lack knowledge. Her biology and physiology scores were also close to full marks. After all, only by understanding her body structure as comprehensively as possible could she maximize the potential and strength of this body.
Before Youlan Daier's brain was further burned by the completely white-hot thinking, the manager rolled his eyes: "Don't add fuel to the fire. Who would do such a tasteless thing? I told you it was just an accident! Accident, understand!"
The expression of the strongest female Valkyrie calmed down instantly, as if she had entered the sage time.
Eh... so you're not going to do it? I thought we were going to do it tonight...
No no no no that's not right! Why would I feel regretful about something like this! ! ! ! Is my brain really broken! ! !
Damn it, who on earth is this guy? Why can he play with my body and will so unscrupulously? Although Youlandel seemed calm on the surface, she was banging her head on the ground crazily in her heart, and at the same time, she felt a little creepy.
No, this guy is too dangerous.
We must not let him go to the Eigenworld! Even if... even if... Yulandel bit her lip and quietly made up her mind.
"After watching the whole thing, I do believe this was an accident, but I don't know whether Miss Guanxing and the others believe it." Brownie smirked, "How about I go and get some information from Guanxing for you?"
"..." The store manager was silent for a moment, "I'll cover your losses tonight, and bring you a new game cartridge released by CyberBorder."
Brownie held up five fingers and shook them gently: "Five more nights, consecutively."
"Hiss... your appetite is too big. You might as well let me face Guanxing and the others by myself!" The store manager gasped.
He knew very well that the "evening" Brownie mentioned did not simply mean "company" but "exclusiveness". If he allowed Brownie to monopolize him for five consecutive nights, his cafe would definitely be demolished by Guanxing and Yuexia.
He held up three fingers and stiffened his neck: "Three nights, no more!"
Brownie also retracted his two fingers: "Three consecutive nights, I set the time, no bargaining."
“…Three consecutive nights will do.” The store manager lowered his head dejectedly, with a resigned expression.
"Bingo~ Just wait for my good news." After saying that, Brownie pulled Mei Raiden's arm and left. Before the door closed, the manager clearly saw that the girls' faces were full of reluctance, as if a big show was forcibly interrupted halfway through.
"..."
For some reason, listening to the conversation between Brownie and the store manager, Yulandel suddenly felt uncomfortable and upset.
She lowered her head and puffed out her cheeks silently.
"Okay, now all the outsiders have left for now." The store manager stood up on his knees and walked to the opposite side of Yulandel. "Now, it's time to talk about our business."
He looked at Yulandel, who looked like a bullied woman, and subconsciously reached out his hand to touch her golden hair, but suddenly remembered his ability and stopped the action abruptly.
However, before he could withdraw his hand, Youlandel took the initiative to grab his arm. She gritted her teeth, endured the humiliation and shyness, and placed his palm on her head, her voice trembling with tears: "This...are you satisfied with this...! Damn it, don't be so complacent! Sooner or later, I will be out of your control!"
"...I said this was not my intention, do you believe me?"
Although Youlandel wanted to shout loudly, "Who would believe that!" But the moment the manager finished speaking, it was just like how she had obeyed the other party's copy a few minutes ago. An indescribable sense of trust suddenly surged from the bottom of her heart.
Oh no, if this continues, even the thought of resisting will...
"Ah..." Looking at Youlan Dai'er's face that seemed to be tangled into a ball, the store manager sighed faintly, "Tell me the truth first, why did you suddenly come to my door? Also, which side of Youlan Dai are you from? Are you from Changkong City? Or from Tianqiong City? Or... are you from somewhere else?"
“I…” Youlandel gritted her teeth. The desire to obey the other party and the rationality to fight against the other party were fighting in her mind, but in the end the former was still slightly better. “Chang…Changkong City.”
"Changkong City?"
The store manager was a little surprised.
Among those people, is there anyone who still remembers me?
That shouldn't be the case. Although the power of the cocoon cannot affect my consciousness, for the people in their world, before they come into contact with the end or the bug, the interference of the cocoon should be absolute.
Did anything coincidental happen? For example, after I left, someone who looked like the cafe clerk appeared next to them?
Theresa? Or Rita?
"It's Principal Theresa."
Even though she didn't actually ask the question, Yulandel's answer came out on its own.
"It's because Principal Theresa looks very similar to one of the employees in your store, so it awakened Mei's memories."
"And... that..."
Yulandel hesitated for a moment: "Please, what is a cocoon?"
"Can you read my mind?" The store manager was stunned.
"Just a little bit, I can read your intention..." Yulandel's knees rubbed restlessly, but the uneasiness that her body and consciousness were completely controlled was alleviated to a large extent as the other party's thoughts flowed into her mind.
Yulandel couldn't tell whether her thoughts were interfered with by the other party again, but the words and deeds of this store manager... or at least these words and deeds when facing her, were not much different from the store manager's own thoughts.
If the thoughts she read did not deceive her, although the fact that her body and mind were toyed with by the other party did not change, the incident itself was really just an extremely coincidental accident.
The store manager thought for a moment and said, "That's quite convenient. Can you read my thoughts and find out why you are completely controlled by me?"
Hearing this question, Yulandel fell silent for a moment.
Because she got the answer from the manager's just thinking.
"Is it because I reversed a world bubble that was about to collapse into my own body, and you...completely integrated the rules of the Quantum Ocean, so you attracted the world bubble in my body back to it?"
The store manager heaved a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you understand that this is a misunderstanding. That's basically it, and..."
Yulandel followed the manager's thoughts and continued: "...and, because your current position in the quantum sea is quite similar to the 'cocoon' that controls the collapse in the real world, the world bubble attracted by you will be placed under the rules you set the moment it comes into contact with you."
"But at the same time, because on the material level, the world bubble and I are still one, when that world bubble was accepted by you again, even my body... was completely controlled by you."
"As for why my will is controlled by you just like my body... No, I should say that the reason I suddenly developed a desire to obey you is because you have a special ability that can increase others' liking for you through physical contact."
"Normally, the influence of this special ability should be subtle and cumulative, but because my body was controlled by you first, your ability to increase favorability by touch was also infinitely magnified."
"That's why... I will... wuu ...
At the end of her speech, Yulandel couldn't help but cover her red face, and a sad sound like the whimpering of a little animal came out of her mouth.
"So, you should understand it now." The store manager held his forehead and sighed, "This is just a damn, complete coincidence."
A low "hmm" came from between Yulandel's fingers, and her whole face turned red from her neck to her ears.
"Well, now that we have figured out the situation, what should we do next?"
The store manager asked calmly.
"I don't know..." Yulandel loosened her hand and shook her head blankly.
By reading the other person's thoughts, Yulandel has completely understood the whole story. However, it is because she understood everything that she felt an unprecedented sense of confusion rising up.
This store manager integrated the rules of the Quantum Sea and prevented those world bubbles from continuing to suffer from the erosion of the Quantum Sea. Just for this point, even Yulandel had to admire him, and she did not mind paying high tribute to the store manager for his great achievements.
She was not an unreasonable person. When she found out that the whole incident was just an accident, it was difficult for her to hate the store manager from the bottom of her heart.
Moreover, Youlandel also knew that the world bubble in her body was no longer in danger of collapse after being incorporated into the store manager's order system.
So at this level, not only should I not resent the store manager, but I should be grateful to him.
But the problem is that it is difficult for Yulandel to feel happy frankly when her body and heart are taken away from her so unreasonably.
I...what should I do, Rita...
Chapter 4: Fire in the Backyard (k)
While Yulandel was worried about the outcome, the store manager was also not feeling well.
It is true that Youlandel is a beautiful woman with big breasts, long legs and a great figure. If the feelings between the two are right, the store manager actually doesn't mind developing a little more than friendly relationship with this upright knight girl. In this case, even if she is tortured by Yuexia and Guanxing, it is just the punishment she deserves for not being able to control her LSP nature.
