A two-legged, gold-devouring beast with purple hair and purple eyes burst into Ningzi's blessed land, baring its fangs and claws as it raised a seven-colored glass cup! The monster lunged straight at Ningzi! That…

"Thank you."

Toyokawa Ningko pretended to take a sip, but actually just moistened her lips with the liquid in the glass.

She is always wary of strangers, but this wariness decreases significantly if the other person is cute.

Yutenji Wakana, a mature older sister type, clearly doesn't fall into the category of cute.

If I had to describe it exactly, it would be:

"Exhibitionist...?"

"Huh? Huh?"

Ruomai casually adjusted her purple sundress and swayed in front of Toyokawa Ningko as if showing off her youthful beauty.

Ningzi narrowed her eyes.

It's a silk nightgown. My mother used to really like it. My father would occasionally give her a few of these comfortable clothes when he made her angry.

Unfortunately, my mother died, and my father passed away. It might have been yesterday, or it might have been last year; I can't remember exactly.

"Sleeping alone in the park is a dangerous habit. My name is Yutenji Wakame. What's your name, little sister?"

Ruomai was still holding a glass of her own drink. She took a small sip elegantly, as if complaining about the scarcity of the nectar in the glass.

"Ningzi, you can just call me Ningzi. There's no need to mention my surname."

Ningzi deliberately emphasized that she did not want her surname to be mentioned, leaving Ruomai with a small bait.

As expected, after hearing that Ningzi was reluctant to reveal her surname, Ruomai's pupils dilated and contracted briefly.

Even though it was just a fleeting moment, Toyokawa Ningko captured it.

"Then, Ningningzi? Is that okay to call you?"

"Whatever makes you happy, Miss Yutenji."

"How cold-hearted you are, even though I'm the one who rescued you and brought you home."

Toyokawa Ningko did not believe Yutenji's embellishments; she was curious about what he meant by "sleeping in the park."

"Excuse me, what just happened? I have a bit of a cold and feel dizzy, so I'm a little confused. I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Ningzi handed the water glass back and bowed very solemnly to Ruomai, who was sitting on the sofa in the bedroom.

The vulgar heart, which was more developed than his peers, swayed and drooped for a moment as his spine bent. The bow of about eighty degrees made Ningzi's broad mind tremble again and again.

Yutenji Wakame has lost count of how many times she has been shocked today.

High school students these days are really monsters.

[Suspected to be a member of a prominent family, possessing exceptional talent and striking good looks, she handles matters calmly and composedly, always maintaining impeccable manners and etiquette...]

[She's the kind of person worth befriending and getting to know well...maybe it will actually lead to a great outcome for me if I want to join the band.]

[Viral! Traffic! Money!]

Even if I get scolded by the other child's parents, it's still a win!

Ruomai, with her own ulterior motives, casually spoke:

"It's nothing, Ningningzi. I heard you singing when I passed by the park today, so I went to look for you. I didn't expect you to faint as soon as we met. It really gave me a fright."

"Oh, that's right."

Ningzi tilted her head, and after a simple analysis, she came to a conclusion:

He's possessed, or he's been poisoned by lemons.

Or maybe both.

Haha, of course there's another possibility.

Toyokawa Ningko immediately fell asleep, covering herself with Ruomai's blanket as if she were at home.

She rested her head on the long-missed soft little pillow and said goodnight to Yutenji Wakame, who was near the foot of the bed.

"I'm sorry, my dream spirit. It's rare for me to have a dream like this. It's neither good nor bad, but I really cherish it... I'll be waking up soon. Goodbye, Miss Purple Hair."

You look just like a purple sweet potato spirit.

"..."

Ruomai was speechless when she saw Ningzi, who was already starting to snore.

What kind of unconventional approach is this?

This person seems like a lunatic.

Tsk, a sheltered young lady from a prominent family... it's normal for her to have a slightly eccentric personality.

Ruomai sat back down on the sofa, watching Ningzi, who hadn't changed her clothes, roll around on her bed, sniffing here and there, and finally falling asleep reluctantly after a long while.

"..."

Since you're being so informal, Miss Ningzi…

Ruomai took out her phone and turned on the video recording function.

Even though I haven't received permission yet, it would be great to record a segment myself first and then ask the other party if it could be released later.

What a coincidence, a script suddenly popped into my head.

"Meow meow! This is Meow Dream!"

Make cute gestures in front of the camera, Meow Dream, you're sure to charm everyone!

"I had an amazing encounter today!"

"About this! I took a little girl who was homeless because of domestic violence into my home, only to find out she was the dominant one and then tried to molest me!"

"Although I didn't manage to get physically involved!"

When Yutenji Wakana spoke the last part, he deliberately dragged out the syllables, as if there was more to his words than met the eye, and they were full of stories.

"And now, she's asleep! This is the little cutie."

Ch113. Congratulations, you've been marked by Ningzi!

Ruomai's camera was focused on Ningzi.

The phone's resolution wasn't very high, so she couldn't fully capture just how alluring Ningzi's sleeping face was.

She said goodnight and actually fell asleep. Toyokawa Ningko really didn't take what was happening now as reality.

She thought it was just a fleeting dream in her life.

"Hehe, this child was just jumping around like a madman a moment ago."

The phone was fixed to a stand to the side, and Ruomai carefully moved closer to Toyokawa Ningko.

"Wow, her skin is so good. I wonder what skincare products she uses. I'll have to ask her about it later."

"Meow meow? You mean my skin is great? Of course, because I used..."

Ruomai got out of bed and recited the advertising slogans she already knew by heart.

Do you really think you can make money by liking and saving cricket posts? The real money always comes from commercial orders, okay?

If I can form a band in the future, I might consider endorsing some major musical instrument brands.

Isn't Toyokawa Group planning to enter this field recently?

If one's popularity were higher, or if one could build connections with certain people, and work hard to secure the endorsement deal with Toyokawa Musical Instruments... it wouldn't be a pipe dream!

"That's all for this video! Follow me so you don't get lost, I'm your Meow Dream! Meow meow!"

Having captured a considerable amount of footage, Ms. Yutenji sat on the sofa, contemplating how to negotiate with the other party.

After all, my current actions are, strictly speaking, voyeurism, but it would be a huge waste not to use such a great idea.

Some people even deliberately hire others to create hundreds or thousands of chat logs for them, making it as explosive as they want.

They repackaged the items and distributed them to various chat groups, hoping to attract a large amount of traffic or public attention.

If I were to actually collaborate with a mysterious girl like Ningzi on such a highly topical video, it would definitely boost my popularity even further.

At that point, I'll be one step closer to securing endorsements from Toyokawa Musical Instruments and advertising deals with various high-end cosmetic brands.

Ning Zi's mere presence while lying still had already shown Ruomai an immense business opportunity.

"Tsk, Meow Dream, you're really wicked. How come you start thinking about residual value as soon as you catch someone?"

Ruomai looked down at the effect of the materials, criticizing her own behavior to herself.

"But who told her to go through all this trouble? I'll have to clean the room and change the sheets after she leaves. But I doubt a high school girl would be the kind who's been filthy for days without showering..."

Not washing her hair is possible.

"Well…"

After sleeping for less than ten minutes, Ningzi sat up, rubbing her eyes.

"It really is so comfortable, so it must all be a dream."

In truth, from the death of her mother, the separation of her father, her sister, and herself as an unwanted branch of the family, to the worsening of her illness, her suicide attempt, taking medication, and interfering in the fates of others… was all of this a lie, a dream?

Wake up, Toyokawa, you should get up, Ningzi.

This comfortable bed is definitely like one from my own home…

Toyokawa Ningko opened her eyes with difficulty, and what she saw was still that purple sweet potato monster, and an unfamiliar bedroom.

"Oh, am I still not awake?"

“This isn’t a dream, Neneko.”

Ok?

"So I really did fall asleep in the park and you picked me up?"

"Yes."

"..."

Lemon Toyokawa! This is definitely your doing, isn't it?!

Surely they couldn't have lost the battle for control of my body, and were afraid something might happen to me, so they found a seemingly nice stranger to help them when they were both too confused to think clearly?

What a reason for being a "good-for-nothing" fish! Lemon, are you a "good-for-nothing" fish

"I'm so sorry to bother you. Please accept this small token of my appreciation as compensation."

Feeling a little dizzy, Ningzi took her bag from her side and handed over all the remaining banknotes.

For Toyokawa Yasuko, this stack of money had already been given to Nagasaki Motoyo long ago.

It was given as a gift to sever ties with Xiangzi's past.

So all she gave this young lady who was out for a night stroll around Chengtian Temple was a stack of meaningless papers.

"Oh?"

Ruomai raised an eyebrow, clearly not opposed to being showered with money.

But more than 10,000 yen at a time? Well, while it's not an exorbitant amount, it's still what many ordinary people earn in several days of working.

However, Toyokawa Ningko didn't even blink when she took out these things, as if what she gave to Ruomai was a napkin rather than currency that could enable her to shop freely.

She really is high and mighty, Ningningzi.

"You don't need any of that. I'm helping you because I'm kind."

Ruomai refused the money from Ningzi, and said righteously:

"However, there's something I need your help with."

"Ok?"

Ningzi wanted to escape.

This woman doesn't even want money, what else does she want?

Tsk, the answer is obvious.

"Although you are very beautiful... I wouldn't be at a loss if that were the case, but please allow me to refuse. I have already decided that the first person I want to bully is Takamatsu Akari."
