Chapter 57. New Skill Acquired
After some twists and turns, Elrose finally snatched her clothes back from Luna and put on a pair of safety pants to ensure the safety of her little panties.
Karashok Town Commercial Street, Kolumia Cake Shop.
“Gululu.”
After sipping a sweet red tea, Elrose took a spoonful of pale yellow cream cake and put it in her mouth, and a blush instantly appeared on her delicate face.
“Mmm~ The silky texture combined with just the right amount of sweetness is really amazing.”
Luna was right, the cake was indeed delicious.
Although it couldn’t compare to Kendrick’s culinary skills in terms of richness and layers of flavor, the simple yet extreme sweetness and fluffiness were already enough to satisfy her mind and body.
However, the downside of the cake was also quite obvious.
Elrose looked at the empty cake plates on the table.
Seriously, it seemed like there was quite a lot.
How come when it actually came to eating, she hadn’t started yet, and it was already finished?
Ah, she wanted a few more plates.
Elrose looked longingly at Luna across the table. “Luna, can we order a few more plates of cake?”
“No way.” Luna decisively refused. “Today’s budget has already been exceeded, and more importantly, eating too much cake isn’t good for your health; you’ll gain weight.”
“Haha, really?” Although Elrose said this, her heart was still filled with desire for the cake.
So, in the next moment.
“Hmph.” For some reason, Elrose suddenly pouted her small face and displayed a very angry expression.
“Little Belle, what’s wrong?” Luna asked, somewhat puzzled.
“I’m very angry about what happened on the street just now.” Elrose crossed her arms and said indignantly.
“What happened just now?” Luna asked with a smile. “Oh, come on, Little Belle, don’t be angry. It was my fault just now; I apologized, didn’t I?”
“What good is an apology?” Elrose said. “My little panties were almost exposed several times on the way here. Do you know how glaring the gazes of the passersby were? I almost fainted from embarrassment at that moment. Do you know how much of an impact this had on my fragile little heart?”
Luna scratched her head, feeling somewhat guilty. “That does sound a bit tragic.”
“Hmph.” Elrose coldly snorted, still pouting in anger.
“Well, since the apology didn’t work, what do you want me to do?” Luna said helplessly. “Tell me how you want me to make it up to you. I’ll do whatever you say.”
Elrose sneaked a glance at Luna. “Are you sure?”
“Sure.” Luna took a deep breath, her attitude firm. “Even if you want to beat me up, that’s fine.”
“Beating you up… is unnecessary.” Elrose slowly turned her head and pointed at the nearly empty plates of cake on the table. “Here, this one, this one, and this one; let’s have three more servings.”
“Huh?” Luna paused for a moment. “Just these?”
“Yep, just this.” Elrose affirmed.
Luna immediately felt something was off. “Damn it, Little Belle, you’re not actually pretending to be angry just to trick me into getting more cake, are you?”
“Of course not!” Seeing her intention was exposed, Elrose tried to maintain her composure and said with righteous indignation. “Someone as mature as me wouldn’t resort to such childish antics over a few slices of cake. I’m just giving you an out, okay? If you bring me ten pieces of cake, I won’t be angry anymore.”
“Uh, but Little Belle, if we have three servings of each type of cake, that’s only nine pieces of cake.” Luna said. “And I already said, eating so much cake will make you gain weight.”
“Mmm, I don’t care, I want ten pieces of cake. If you don’t give them to me, I’ll stay angry.”
“Alright, alright, I’ll get them, is that okay?”
Luna sighed helplessly, a hint of concealed affection in her eyes. She said nothing more and directly got up to go line up at the counter to buy the cake.
Watching Luna’s departing figure, Elrose revealed a smug smile.
Woohoo, I’m so smart.
A moment later.
“Cake, cake, cake…” Elrose sat in her chair, swaying back and forth, her little feet moving, her pretty face filled with anticipation. “Which one should I eat first?”
At that moment, a beautiful cake plate suddenly appeared before Elrose.
Elrose’s heart leaped with joy; just as she was about to take up a fork and start tasting, she heard an extremely unfamiliar voice.
“Hey there, little girl, are you all alone?” A blond man sat down opposite her with a lewd smile and said, “What a coincidence, I’m also alone.”
Seeing this, Elrose’s face immediately cooled down. “I’m not alone; I have companions. And you’re sitting in her spot right now. Could you please move?”
“Don’t be so cold, little girl. I just came over to chat with you because I saw you alone and thought you looked bored,” the blond man said with a smile. “I even bought you a piece of cake to show my intentions.”
Elrose looked at the cake in front of her and sneered. “You don’t really think I’d eat that, do you? What if you put something in it? Wouldn’t I be doomed?”
“Hey, little girl, how can you say that? I’m here sincerely to make friends with you!”
“If you can disappear from my sight right now, I might believe you are sincere.”
“That won’t do. How can we be friends if I disappear?”
“You’re seriously gross. Can you just get lost already?”
“Don’t be so stubborn; let’s get to know each other nicely.”
“Tsk.” Seeing that the blond guy wouldn’t leave, Elrose smacked her lips and directly got up to leave.
“Hey, don’t rush off!” The blond guy stood up and blocked her path. “I know some really fun games; I’m sure you’ll be interested.”
Hearing this, Elrose’s face darkened. Honestly, she was getting a bit angry.
“I warn you for the last time, disappear from my sight.” Elrose said coldly. “Otherwise, if you suffer some psychological and physical trauma afterwards, I won’t be responsible.”
“Haha, little girl, you’re quite fierce, huh?” The blond guy grinned. “But I’m a C-rank adventurer. I doubt you’re even close to my match.”
“Oh, really?” Elrose slowly took off the Heart of Shadow and slipped it onto her right fist, then waved her small fist dismissively. “But I think with just one punch, I could knock you out cold.”
“Haha, is that so?” The blond man laughed heartily. “Then I’ll just stand here for you to hit. If you punch me and I don’t react, you’ll have to behave and be my friend.”
“Let’s see how it goes after the punch.” Elrose coldly scoffed and delivered a straight punch to the blond guy’s stomach.
HP: -0
The blond guy immediately burst into laughter. “Little girl, are you giving me a massage? With your strength, I can…”
“Swish!”
In an instant, a cold aura emanated from the Heart of Shadow, and before the blond guy could finish his sentence, he seemed to lose consciousness, standing there dazed.
The blond guy slowly opened his eyes, greeted by boundless darkness.
In this place, there was no light, no shadow, no sound, as if he were in the most despairing dead end in the world.
Overwhelming fear surged in his heart. He wanted to scream, but no sound came out; he wanted to flee but didn’t know where the exit was.
In fact, he should be happy for his luck.
Because like Kendrick, he only saw darkness but didn’t see the master of darkness. Otherwise, he would never forget the most despairing fear for the rest of his life.
In reality, Elrose slowly returned the Heart of Shadow to her wrist.
As she suspected, anyone except for herself who made contact with it would automatically fall into a state of 【Fear】.
Though she didn’t know the principle behind it, this was probably a special anti-theft feature left by the Evil God.
After all, the Heart of Shadow had no self-awareness. If she wasn’t careful and it was stolen, things would get troublesome.
Elrose kicked her new shoes and coolly looked at the dazed blond guy in front of her.
“Unfulfilled desires are also a form of illness; let me help you treat it.”
Saying this, Elrose got into position and then kicked the blond guy’s brother harshly.
Elrose learned the skill 【Castration Kick lv.1】
Elrose used the skill 【Castration Kick lv.1】
Elrose dealt a fatal blow to the blond guy.
The blond guy was released from the state of 【Fear】.
The blond guy entered a 【Twitching】 state.
Blond guy, in danger.
