"Oh? You really came? But... well, I don't need any help. But if you really want to stay here, come on, put on this collar, crawl on the ground, and tuck this tail in. Come on, make a cute little squeal."

"Hmm~?? No, as expected of the BOSS~?? What? You're asking why Liuying is here? Honestly, BOSS, you have absolutely no sense of romance~ Don't you think that child looks like a little puppy~?? Hmm~??~"

The scene freezes on the moment when Kafka is on Liu Bai's bed, looking down at him like a victor, with a pleased and arrogant smile on her face.

…………

"Aaaaaaaahh ...

Liu Ying suddenly threw off the covers and sat up.

"Ha, ha... Phew—it was just a dream."

Liu Ying was covered in cold sweat and panting heavily. For a moment, she felt as if she was about to have an entropy breakdown.

What a terrifying nightmare.

Honestly, there's a limit to scaring yourself.

With the help of the fireflies, the heavy breathing gradually calmed down.

I can't believe I dreamed about something like that...

That girl, Kafka...

Liu Ying wiped the cold sweat from her face and then realized that most of her pajamas were soaked through.

Hmm... what a nightmare.

But why...?

Liu Ying touched her private parts.

...It must be sweat, right?

Yes! It's definitely sweat!

How could her body feel something because of such a nightmare?

"...It's only three o'clock now." Shaking her chaotic thoughts from her mind, Liu Ying felt a surge of thirst.

The nightmare made her sweat excessively... and the aftereffects of the nightmare still lingered in her mind.

Go to the kitchen and get a drink of water.

Liu Ying walked unsteadily to the door and pushed it open.

"Good morning, Sam, or rather... Firefly?"

A beautiful woman with purple hair and a nightgown leaned against the door, glancing at Liu Ying with a teasing look.

Chapter 165 Truth or Dare Game

"!?"

The moment Firefly saw Kafka, her heart nearly jumped out of her chest.

How could this moment be just like that moment back then?

Well, the only good thing is that the lines are different. If the lines were exactly the same, Liu Ying would have to wonder if she was dreaming within a dream.

But... even so, how am I supposed to answer Kafka's question now?

"Don't shout, or you'll wake up the other people."

By the light in the room, Firefly could see the smile on Kafka's face that seemed to have her completely under his thumb.

—This smile may seem no different from usual, but it can be interpreted in different ways depending on the context.

"...Good morning, Kafka."

"Hmm." Kafka looked at the firefly that responded to her, made a pleasant sound through her nose, and casually adjusted her collar.

By the way, only Kafka's pajamas are different from everyone else's in the house. Including the most basic pure white style, Kafka had Liu Bai buy a lot of different styles of pajamas.

It looks like they're planning to fill the wardrobe to the brim.

Well, this guy always has a strange urge to shop. Although he's fond of coats, he'll buy any other clothes he wants.

In terms of hobbies and interests, this guy is probably the most human-like among the group of abnormal people.

Of course, although Silver Wolf seemed mentally unstable to her, he was still a normal person overall.

In Xiao Guizi's words, he's the sunshine character that's essential in a group of protagonists who are all bitter and resentful.

In short, this guy in front of me has absolutely no consideration for Mr. Liu Bai when it comes to spending money. Even if Liu Ying can't distinguish between good and bad, she can still see the animal pattern on Kafka's pajamas.

"Won't you invite me in to sit down?"

"...Is any of these necessary?"

"No?" Kafka leaned against the door frame with her arms crossed, looking at Firefly with a light laugh.

...a very uncomfortable experience.

"No."

Firefly responded with a cold, indifferent tone, as if she were carrying out a mission.

Trying to outwit Kaffa is clearly not a wise move.

Firefly turned and closed the door, while Kafka's pink eyes still shone brightly in the darkness.

After closing the door, Firefly glanced at Kafka, then turned and left.

This is a clingy person; you absolutely must not let her get to you.

"Hmm..." Kafka seemed to sigh.

Then Firefly heard the sound of buttons being undone in the silent corridor.

What is that guy doing?

"Boss~~ You're there—!"

——!

In an instant, Firefly turned around and grabbed Kafka by the collar.

"What do you want to do?"

"If you can't rely on your colleagues when you have insomnia, then you can only rely on your boss, right?"

Since Kafka was already in a good mood, after Firefly grabbed Kafka by the collar with both hands, two very beautiful slimes popped out.

Right now, Kafka is looking at Firefly with a knowing, half-smiling expression, as if she has Firefly cornered.

This feeling of being completely at someone's mercy is even more unpleasant.

"...You go inside first! Then button up your clothes!"

Left with no other choice, Liuying had to open the door.

—Although it wasn't locked to begin with.

However, being invited in and showing up uninvited are two different things—this guy always acts very human in inexplicable ways.

He's just as lawless as Silver Wolf...

"So what are you going to do?"

As Firefly pushed her into the house, Kafka asked a question.

"The kettle in the house is empty, I'm going to the kitchen for a drink of water." There was a hint of resentment in Liu Ying's voice.

Hearing the resentment in Firefly's tone, Kafka seemed even happier.

...Is this what they call a massive S-attribute explosion?

Liu Ying couldn't understand why Kafka was so happy.

"Hmm... You're all sweaty, and considering the sound you made just now, were you having a nightmare?"

"..."

It would have been better if this hadn't been brought up, but Kafka's mention of it brought back the unpleasant memories of the nightmare that had just occurred to Liuying.

Especially the scenes of Kaffa humiliating her to the extreme...

Wait, could this be a "precognitive dream"?

Although the scenes in the dream were somewhat different, they all metaphorically represented being bullied by Kaffa.

Was Kafka planning to use her weakness to blackmail him into drinking her water?

She was humiliated and toyed with at will, even mocked for being "unworthy of Mr. Liu Bai"... Then, after bullying herself for a while, Kaffa went to find Mr. Liu Bai, feeling satisfied...

Ah ah ah ah ah! ! !

...But wait a minute, does that mean I indirectly participated in the process of Kafka and Liu Bai's contact?

Does it count?

Why do I feel a little smug?

“…Damn it.” Firefly muttered under her breath.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Firefly?" Kafka showed a puzzled look for the first time.

"No! It's nothing! Go inside and wait for me for a while, and don't rummage through my things!"

Fortunately, I didn't do anything after I woke up, so the room was still relatively normal. Even if Kafka searched through things, she wouldn't find anything.

"Okay," Kaffa replied in a coaxing tone, but before Kaffa could finish speaking, Firefly closed the door.

"Hmm... I never expected Sam to turn out like this."

Once everyone was alone, Kafka smiled and muttered to herself with some surprise, while looking around at her surroundings.

The decor was just like that of an ordinary girl; Kaffa had originally thought it would be more "iron-blooded."

Kafka showed no signs of being a guest and sat cross-legged on Firefly's bed.

To be honest, Kafka was quite happy for Firefly.

After all, the Star Core Hunters were not a well-organized, hierarchical organization. In fact, this criminal gang, which had planned countless shocking cases and left the Interstellar Peace Corporation helpless, was essentially a makeshift operation.

Like Firefly... Sam's current desire to distance himself from the Star Core Hunters can't be considered "betrayal," it's just "leaving."

Joining to get what you want, and leaving after getting what you want, is perfectly reasonable and beyond reproach.

Even Elio, at most, can only ask for a couple more favors based on personal connections.

The same applies to her—however, as a "Star Core Hunter," she will probably continue to assist Eriol with a "let's have some fun" attitude.

After all, her deficiency wasn't that serious, and therefore, she was even more like a normal person than Silver Wolf, who was a normal person.

Besides "fear," she also pursues interesting things—oh, and elegance and beauty.

So Kafka didn't directly expose Firefly's deception—even though that would have been more interesting.

"……I'm back."

After taking a sip of water, Liu Ying's mood had clearly calmed down considerably, and a somewhat cold expression appeared on her face.

Seeing that Kafka was sitting on the bed without any sense of being a guest, Ryuho sat down in a chair.

Both sides looked at each other.

Although Liuying had calmed her thoughts, she didn't know where to begin asking Kafka.

In contrast, Kafka's posture was much more casual. She sat on the bed with her back slightly bent, her hands supporting her on the bed, and her legs crossed.

"Firefly, how about we play a game?"

"……game?"

"Truth or Dare" game

"Um……?"

“It’s a game that Silver Wolf and I often play,” Kafka said kindly, looking at Firefly’s slightly confused expression. “The rules are simple, with a bit of a psychological game element: both sides take turns asking each other questions, lying is allowed, but the answers must be one true and one false.”

"...must it be one true and one false?"

Liu Ying quickly began to think.
