Wait, why is this blond guy a lolicon?

Hokkaido, Sapporo.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of a five-star hotel.

Jiang Ling silently gazed out the window.

The snow-covered city was shrouded in a hazy mist and swirling snowflakes at night, and the streetlights cast a mesmerizing glow as the ice crystals refracted the light.

Hokkaido is located at a high latitude and has a vast but sparsely populated area. In addition, due to historical reasons, it has been deeply influenced by the culture of its northern neighbor. The architectural style of the city is a blend of Japanese refinement and Russian austerity and ruggedness, which gives it a unique flavor.

"Ah... this feeling of being freezing outside but cozy and warm inside is the best!"

Lan Xinlan cheered and pounced on the soft bed, burying her slightly flushed face in the fluffy quilt and rubbing against it, letting out a satisfied sigh.

Jiang Ling sat at her desk, looking up information on her tablet, her brows slightly furrowed.

From the depths of memory, fragmented images that once flashed through the [Hundred Fate Simulator] resurfaced—

Some information about "Indra".

The hiding place of its remnant soul was divided into three parts, each related to a certain "sacred relic" kept by the three major forces in Hokkaido: the "Snow Bear Gang", the "Wild Wolf Gang", and the "Inu Church".

"Three 'sacred artifacts' need to be collected and arranged in a specific ritual on a particular full moon night in order to open the entrance to its hiding place, the 'Path Space,' thereby completely annihilating its soul and freeing all those who possess the nine bloodlines..."

Jiang Ling silently sorted through the clues, her eyes darkening slightly, and she sneered:

"What a cunning old fox, he's kept his true colors well hidden."

There was a rustling sound coming from the bed.

Perhaps because the indoor heating was too strong, Lan Xinlan felt a little hot. She turned over and began to take off her heavy coat, sweater, cotton coat, and thermal underwear. Then she took off her outer pants, wool pants, cotton pants, and thermal underwear... Her movements were smooth and natural.

Her main mission in coming to Hokkaido this time was to gather information about the "Inu Church," and she viewed it more like a special work trip.

At this moment, I've relaxed and become a bit casual.

Sudden.

"Alan," Jiang Ling called her name with her head down.

"Um?"

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"Well……"

If it's hot, I can understand taking off your outer clothes—but then you turn around and see the thin clothes you were wearing.

Everything disappeared without a trace.

That would be very suspicious.

Lan Xinlan swallowed hard, silently kicked off her panties from her ankle, her eyes darting away.

"Alan...it's just so hot."

Jiang Ling put down the tablet, swallowed, and walked over.

He stood at the foot of the bed and asked, "Is it because you're hot, or...?"

The silly Lan Xinlan buried her face in her hands and lay on the bed, her fair legs spread out in a V-shape, her delicate ears blushing red!

She reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Some things, once you've tasted them, are like opening the door to a new world, something to yearn for.

"Hmm... anyway, it's just hot..." she said in a muffled voice.

Then, before she could react, a pair of strong, powerful hands grabbed her waist and lifted her up.

"Hmm...it's about to begin..."

"Put your clothes on," Jiang Ling said.

"...Huh?"

Lan Xinlan's face was filled with doubt and slight disappointment: "That's it?"

"Alan finally... mustered up the courage... why did this happen?"

"I'll take you to a hot spring."

Jiang Ling leaned close to her earlobe and said with a mischievous smile, "We're going to soak together, holding Alan, in the most famous couples' hot spring in town, really soaking in it, really really~"

"Oh?" Lan Xinlan turned her head with delight and hugged his neck:

"Really? That's great—Alan wants to! He wants to take a bath with you~"

Reduplicated words, so cute!

Anyway, there are still several days until the full moon, so let's take this opportunity to spend more time with Alan.

After all, she had suffered so much.

……

Chitose Onsen, Sapporo Main Branch

As a super-large chain hot spring brand in Hokkaido, its Sapporo flagship store covers a vast area, almost like a small hot spring-themed town, and has twelve different types of natural hot springs, attracting countless tourists.

At the front desk, a young woman wearing employee ID number one was looking down at her phone when a colleague gently nudged her arm.

"Wow...that man is so handsome...he must be mixed race, right?" Miss Number Two whispered, then immediately became excited again.

"They're walking towards us."

The receptionist looked up, her breath hitched, and her heart pounded.

The man who walked in through the door was dressed in a simple dark kimono. What was most striking was his long, pink hair, which looked like burning flames and was loosely draped over his shoulders.

He has the delicate, fair skin typical of Asians, but his facial features are more defined and three-dimensional than the average person, and his frame is also broader, giving him a hint of northern charm.

At this moment, a faint sense of melancholy and weariness lingered between his brows.

"Where did this sad boy come from?!"—Miss Number One cried out in her heart, quickly stepping forward and flashing a professional smile.

"Hello, sir, please show your ID card so we can arrange a suitable hot spring room for you..."

Dia Poirot—or rather, the former leader of the Viper Gang, now a man who has fled here under an alias—hands over a forged identity card.

His gaze swept across the warm, bright hall with a hint of wariness.

The soft light and the rising steam from the hot springs slightly dispelled the fear that lingered in his heart.

However, the image of that handsome face with its wicked smile and that dazzling blond hair kept flashing uncontrollably through my mind again...

Dia Poirot couldn't help but shiver.

"That guy killed Tony, who could erase time, in a single move; he's a monster..."

"My Tony... my little brother..."

The thought of his twin brother, who died a violent death, filled him with anguish.

Even gang leaders who have spent years navigating the treacherous waters of the underworld can't help but feel a sense of desolation and loneliness.

Without realizing it, I had become truly alone.

Why is this happening?!

He only sold a small amount of drugs. In North Japan and America, he could sell thousands of tons without any problems. But he's only been in South Japan for a short time—his high-end combat forces have all been wiped out, leaving him as the lone commander.

That blond guy was absolutely terrifying!

At this moment, in Diablo's mind, the muscular blond guy had become like a strict father figure.

"Luckily, I ran fast and bought a plane ticket to Hokkaido..."

Diablo felt much better, thinking, "At least here I don't have to worry about running into that blond guy."

He chose the "Salt Pond Hot Spring," which is famous for its rich mineral content, and specifically requested a private hot spring room on the second floor, striving for a low-key experience.

After seeing off this uniquely charismatic red-haired guest.

The receptionist had just returned to her post, her heart still pounding, when another customer walked in.

Upon seeing this, her heart raced again.

"So beautiful, so cool, so aloof... So women can make other women's hearts flutter?"

She was a woman with long, snow-white hair that reached her waist. Her pale pink eyes were clear and bright, yet they held a coldness and aloofness like an icy snow lotus. Her noble bearing and outstanding appearance made people hesitant to approach her.

What a cool, pure, and proud woman she is...

"Hello……"

The receptionist composed herself and politely inquired:

"Which type of hot spring would you like to experience? We can arrange a private hot spring room for you."

Song Ruyu asked, "Are there any on the fourth floor? The type of hot spring doesn't matter..."

"Well..." the receptionist said somewhat embarrassedly, "The fourth floor is booked out by the 'Snow Bear Gang,' so... I'm sorry."

"The third floor is fine too, the hot spring near the outer wall," Song Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "It would be even better if there was an open-air hot spring."

The receptionist nodded shyly: "Please take your ID card and follow me..."

I thought the peak passenger flow had passed and I could take a short break.

I never expected that I had just seen off this beautiful woman who was as aloof as snow.

The front desk welcomed new guests.

The man who walked in this time was a tall, handsome, muscular blond man.

His steps were casual yet he exuded an undeniable aura, and in the crook of his left arm, he affectionately linked arms with a petite girl with cascading blue hair.

The girl was about the same height as the snow-haired girl from before, and was wrapped in a light blue down jacket that reached her knees, making her look bulky, like an adorable baby emperor penguin.

Compared to the snow-haired girl, her face was rounder.

"Oh oh oh~ Oh ho—!"

The receptionist's heart was stirred once again.

Her gaze was involuntarily drawn to the man's smooth, powerful muscle lines, and she murmured:

"That's the perfect physique! Handsome, strong, and with a powerful, beautiful physique... If only I could be hugged by him..."

The receptionist felt a spark of romance. Looking at the girl beside him, she thought: This little girl is probably his daughter...

Lan Xinlan was also feeling very happy at this moment, enjoying the intimacy of walking side by side with Jiang Ling.

Not only was she not annoyed by the gaze directed at her by the receptionist, but she also felt a little smug.

At the same time, she thought of Li Meiyu, and a little pride rose in her heart.

—Hehe, the first woman to go to the hot springs with Ah Ling was me, Ah Lan!

—I, Alan, am the ultimate victor!

"Um... please give me your ID card, and then... please select which floor and what type of hot spring..."

Jiang Ling touched Alan's still-warm head, raised an eyebrow and smiled: "It needs to be a starry sky pool with couple-friendly features, and... that kind of thing is a must..."

Upon hearing this, Lan Xinlan's ears turned even redder, and she buried her face in his arms.

[It doesn't matter~ As long as it's not too outrageous, Alan is willing to try it with you!]

So they chose the private hot spring bath with starry sky on the third floor for couples.

At this moment, in the corridor on the second floor, Dia Poirot, the leader of the Viper Gang who had fled here under an alias, was absentmindedly changing his bath towel.

In the private hot spring room 304 on the third floor, Song Ruyu leaned against the window, slowly savoring the Häagen-Dazs ice cream provided free of charge by the hotel.

But his ears keenly picked up the faint noises and sounds coming from upstairs from the "Snow Bear Gang" members.

Inside the 305 private hot spring room for couples, separated only by a wall.

On the soft bed, Lan Xinlan had shed all her restraints. She pressed the back of her cool hand against her burning, rosy cheeks, her eyes glistening with tears and a shy anticipation.

"Alan...would you like to take a bath first?"

"No, look at Alan in this state... we should definitely... soak him first!"

"You said it yourself..."

"Please...please have pity on Alan..."

Before the storm.

The world often presents an unusual tranquility.
