“Speak.” Ten minutes later, Mo Li, fully dressed, sat on the edge of the bed and questioned Limdis in an interrogative tone.
“How did you end up sleeping on me, and how did you find my place?”
“Hmph, who do you think I am? As a favored one of the Divine Fox, finding someone is just a fleeting thought.” The girl covered one eye and spoke proudly.
There she goes again, acting crazy.
“Speak in human terms. How exactly did you find my place?” Could it be that this girl’s bloodline has a tracking function? I underestimated her.
“Hmph, it’s not difficult.
Your scent is too obvious.
Finding you was easy.
I just had to sniff around on the ground and follow the trail you left!”
“…” So you mean you crawled around like a little dog sniffing all night.
Seeing Limdis, who showed no shame and was instead quite proud of her actions, Mo Li thought she was just a simple fool.
“Then why did you sleep on my chest?” Mo Li covered his chest.
“You perverted girl, you didn’t do anything to me while I was asleep, did you?”
“Small-minded! I am a favored one of the Divine Fox.
How could I do something so low as to take advantage of someone?”
“Then why did you sleep on my chest?”
“Well, I was too tired after following your scent for so long.
I thought I’d wait by the bed for you to wake up, but I fell asleep while waiting.”
“… As expected of you.” Mo Li gave her a thumbs-up.
“So, what do you want from me?”
“Wait a moment.” Limdis suddenly put on a serious expression and leaned in close to Mo Li, sniffing here and there.
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Mo Li felt a strange sense of déjà vu, like a little kitten sniffing around and acting cute.
“Eh, it’s gone.” Limdis tilted her head.
“Yesterday, I could smell a familiar scent on you, but today it’s gone…”
“What familiar scent? Are you messing with me?” Mo Li rolled his eyes.
“Get out of here.
This is my house.
I have the right to ask you to leave, right?”
“You can, but only after I find the source of that familiar scent!” Limdis seemed very persistent about this.
“My intuition tells me that this detail is crucial to me.”
“I think you’ve got cat fever, and it’s not mild.
Get out of here.
I don’t want to see you for another minute!”
“No, not yet.”
“You’re not leaving, huh? Then I’ll have to force you out.”
“But you can’t beat me.”
“…” Mo Li fell silent.
“What do you beastfolk want from me?”
“Beastfolk?” Limdis widened her eyes, then seemed to realize something and quickly touched her head, unsurprisingly feeling her furry ears.
“You! When did you…”
“Don’t blame everything on me! Your hood was already down when I saw you.
Do you think I want to wake up to a beastfolk lying on me first thing in the morning? Your fur is all over my bed.
Do you think I don’t mind the mess?”
“You! You’re insulting me too much! I am a high-ranking beastfolk, a direct descendant of Lord Aurevigia.
How could I shed fur?” Limdis was very indignant.
“Damn…” She covered her ears, muttering to herself.
“It must have fallen off while I was asleep.
I miscalculated…”
“… Fine, you’re not leaving, so I’ll leave.” With that, Mo Li threw on a cloak and jumped out the window.
“Hey, wait, our business isn’t finished yet!” Limdis said, following him and jumping out the window as well.
So annoying! Mo Li weaved through the city, just wanting to shake off the tail following him.
If I had known, I wouldn’t have meddled yesterday.
Now I’m inexplicably entangled with this troublesome person, and I can’t shake her off.
It’s so damn annoying.
He jumped from the third floor, rolled upon landing, and quickly ran towards the city center.
Limdis followed closely, relentlessly pursuing him.
Mo Li was agile, an old assassin particularly adept at parkour, moving swiftly between the city buildings.
Limdis, not to be outdone, was a beastfolk with excellent athletic and reflex abilities, adept at climbing walls and squeezing through gaps.
Mo Li leaped onto the clock tower amidst the gasps of people on the street, and Limdis followed, climbing like a tiger up the mountain.
“Can you stop following me?” Mo Li was getting anxious, jumping off the clock tower and continuing to run.
The two of them, one in front and one behind, moved like the wind, their speed causing gusts that lifted the skirts of many young girls.
Then, they perfectly converged on the stands of the competition arena.
“Stay away from me.” Mo Li tried to distance himself from the troublesome girl, looking at the persistent tail with disdain.
“Being around a chuunibyou and an idiot is contagious.”
“Sniff sniff sniff…”
“Stop sniffing me like a little dog!”
“There’s definitely something fishy about that familiar scent on you.
You’re hiding something important from me.”
“What does it have to do with you?” Mo Li looked annoyed.
“What secret of mine is your business? Who are you to me? Why should I tell you?”
“No! My dark and evil eye has already glimpsed the unseen future, clearly related to the fox tribe.
You must know something!
“I don’t know.
I really don’t know anything!”
“Miss Limdis, nice to meet you.” At this moment, a familiar and annoying voice sounded, but it undoubtedly saved Mo Li.
He gratefully looked at Barlow, who had rescued him from the endless entanglement with this chuunibyou girl, finding him surprisingly pleasant for the first time.
The other party was clearly here for Limdis, so he deliberately moved a bit further away, leaving space for the two of them.
“My name is Barlow.
You may have heard of me.” Barlow wore a smile he thought was flawless, performing an exaggerated noble bow.
Hmm, quite standard.
After all, he grew up doing this, so he’s quite skilled.
“Miss Limdis’s performance a few days ago was truly remarkable.
I have great respect for you.
Since that moment, I’ve wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with you.
I think we might get along well.
To be honest, I’m also…”
“Hey, why are you deliberately avoiding me?” Before Barlow could finish his guided chant, Limdis pouted and stuck to Mo Li like a marshmallow, not even glancing at Barlow, as if she didn’t even notice his existence.
“Uh…” Barlow, who was blatantly ignored, stood awkwardly in place, like a clown performing under everyone’s watchful eyes.
