Chapter 11: I didn’t want to! …Um, I’m sorry!

The girl struggled a little longer.

But no matter how hard she tried, Jakui Rinrincho didn’t budge an inch. Instead, Someya Sara was the one who ended up exhausted. Her pale cheeks and soft neck grew damp with sweat, sticky and hot, making her whole body uncomfortable.

Nya—nyaa!!

It’s all this woman’s fault!!

Panting in tiny gasps, Someya Sara cursed Jakui Rinrincho endlessly in her heart.

Bad woman!

Total pervert!

Stinking homewrecker!

“Hehe…”

Jakui Rinrincho curved her lips and let out an extremely soft laugh right against the girl’s ear.

“So cute.”

She stared at those lips—soft, red, tender, delicate. She really wanted to bite them.

Bite them again.

“Crying Sara, obedient Sara, cute Sara…”

She continued, her voice suddenly gentle and slow, only for Someya Sara to hear. Jakui Rinrincho’s burning breath branded itself on the girl’s pale, translucent neck—numbing, itchy. It made every hair on Someya Sara’s body stand on end.

Nya nya nya!

What is she saying?!

Someya Sara wondered if she’d misheard while finally realizing just how terrifying this mission was. This woman was insane! What was she suddenly going on about…

Totally crazy!

And then, Jakui Rinrincho lowered her head, parted her lips slightly, revealed sharp teeth, brushed aside the silver hair, and lightly bit the side of the girl’s neck while she wasn’t paying attention.

“Wah!!”

This time, the already terrified Someya Sara finally exploded like a startled cat—but because her courage was truly microscopic, even her explosion had zero attack power.

Xiao Nuosang: “…”

『U-um, baby, you’re playing Someya Sara right now. Sure, she’s a loser too, but she’s still supposed to be a villain. In this situation… she would fight back.』
Xiao Nuosang couldn’t watch anymore and gently reminded her.

Someya Sara felt utterly wronged.

She had fought back! With all her strength! But this woman didn’t move at all!

Super infuriating!!

『Baby, for the mission—use nastier methods!』

Xiao Nuosang encouraged.

『Bite her quick! She bit you! Dog eat dog!』

Someya Sara: “…?”

Wait… something’s wrong here. Did Xiao Nuosang just insult her?

『Hurry!』 Xiao Nuosang urged, terrified that any more delay would cause serious OOC.

Then they’d get kicked out of the world.

Then at the mission report meeting, Lord Main God would say, “So this is how you two half-ass your missions? Your behavior is ruining the birth rate of the First Mission Administration! Shameful!” while giving them the spirit injection.

Someya Sara: 『Woof!』

So our Miss Someya Sara activated the hypnosis app on herself, hypnotizing herself into believing she actually wasn’t scared at all—she was a real villain, a bad person. Gathering her courage, she snapped and bit down on Jakui Rinrincho’s wrist, growling fiercely (probably? maybe?).

“I-I already said I don’t have money…”

“Let me go right now!”

Jakui Rinrincho didn’t struggle. She let the girl bite her like a kitten scratching, then gently pressed harder with her long fingers, smoothly pinching Someya Sara’s cheeks and covering her mouth and nose.

This face is so small…

One hand can cover it completely.

Yet it’s warm and soft like freshly made mochi.

Jakui Rinrincho’s long lashes trembled. She lowered her gaze to the girl’s cheeks and thought this unconsciously.

At the same time, covering the girl’s face was completely instinctive—

Like when cat lovers see a stray kitten meowing and rubbing against their legs; they can’t help reaching out to squish its cheeks. Even if the next second, Miss Kitty gets angry, flips out, and scratches them ruthlessly.

“Mmph, mmph, mmph…”

On the other side, suddenly having her mouth and nose covered, Someya Sara panicked in fear and shock.

Wait…

No way?

She only bit her once—is she going to suffocate her to death?

QAQ!

I don’t wanna die!!

“H-help…”

Instantly, the pink hypnosis app ended. Someya Sara lost all her fight, turning soft and scared again. Her voice became a tearful whimper, muffled and stumbling. “P-please… let me go, I beg you…”

“Help?” Jakui Rinrincho repeated with a light laugh, voice cool and calm. “Don’t worry, we’re not after money or your life.”

“Th-then what do you want?!”

Someya Sara’s eyes were red, utterly wronged.

Looking at her like this, Jakui Rinrincho couldn’t hold back her smile.

Call her timid—she still dared to bite. Call her brave—she trembled at the slightest touch.

Really… unbearably cute.

Cute beyond words.

…

“Your eyes are all red. Are you really that scared?”

Jakui Rinrincho ignored the question and simply loosened the hand pinning her down a little.

“Cough cough…”

Fresh air rushed into her lungs. Someya Sara coughed violently in tiny bursts, caught off guard. But before she could cough much, she realized Jakui Rinrincho was still holding her shoulders, not letting her up.

“Hey! Sumire, Sumire!” At the same time, Jakui Rinrincho sounded like she’d discovered a new continent, voice full of surprise. “Come look—she’s crying!”

.

Kanzaki Sumire leaned against the entranceway.

One hand casually in her jeans pocket, the other fiddling with her phone. She clicked her tongue in extreme annoyance. The bracelets on her wrist and the cross and amber pendants at her chest glinted faintly in the evening sunset—very pretty.

“Stop wasting time,” she said, expression and voice equally impatient, with a hint of disdain.

She really didn’t get what was fun about making a blind girl cry. Sure, the face was cute, but so tiny—no chest, no butt…

Where was the fun in bullying someone like this?

She truly didn’t understand Jakui Rinrincho’s twisted tastes.

But—

Kanzaki Sumire looked up. Her gaze unintentionally landed on Someya Sara’s small face.

Eyes watery, tears shimmering, beautiful eye corners slightly red with shy anger and reluctance. Beneath the pale neck were red marks from Jakui Rinrincho’s grip. Against the girl’s about-to-cry expression and slightly mussed collar and skirt hem, it all radiated a lush, burning charm and delicacy. Yet somehow she still looked completely harmless, completely obedient.

Thump…

Her heart pounded.

Kanzaki Sumire’s breathing suddenly tightened and quickened.

The words she was about to say stopped. In that instant—that instant of seeing Someya Sara—she forgot what she even wanted to say.

“See, Sumire? Isn’t she cute?” Jakui Rinrincho laughed lightly. Her fingertips slowly stroked the girl’s cheek, like teasing a startled kitten.
