Want to be human, but cube-like

"it is good."

With her lips pursed, Su Shi plucked the strings of her zither once more.

This time, she was able to see that the familiars finally reacted to her music. The moment the pick stopped, all the familiars visibly became agitated.

The syringes that were slowly drawing liquid were all pulled out of the IV tubing, and the familiars turned around and grabbed the scalpels in their other hands, slashing them fiercely at the IV tubing.

"Huh?! So those IV tubing were also part of the witch?"

Upon seeing this, Su Shi exclaimed in surprise.

"It does seem to be a pretty useful ability."

Only then did Alex agree with what Kyubey had said earlier.

If she can even control familiars, then even if she can't control witches, Su Shi can be said to have enough ability to protect herself.

The moment they finished speaking, the terrifying, tumor-like witch finally made a move.

"—!"

After a distorted shriek, the witch hanging in the air spun around. The IV tubes that had been hanging on the ground, at the mercy of the familiars, began to swing as she moved, sweeping away all the familiars on the ground with a single sweep.

The IV tubing, still pounding away, came crashing down on them.

Alex, who instinctively wanted to dodge with a flash, glanced at Su Shi, who seemed not to have reacted yet.

"ah!"

To Su Shi's surprise, she grabbed the other person's slender waist.

"Boom!"

But just as the two of them flashed away, Alex saw a wall instinctively fly over and block the attack.

…………

P.S. There's not much to write about the battle with the witch; I'll just briefly describe Su Shi's magic in action and then move on.

Suddenly realizing that her abilities might be a bit too strong...

Volume 2: Chapter 217 How to bring Su Shi home?

Actually, it seems that I don't need to hide with Su Shi.

Seeing the attack blocked by a wall with a flying leap, Alex finally understood why Su Shi had been standing there blankly without making a move.

She did react, but the sound of Beth's voice was too low and was drowned out by the noise caused by the witch, so Alex couldn't hear it. In fact, Su Shi had already used the wall next to her to block her.

Unexpectedly, Su Shi suddenly embraced Alex. Caught off guard, she stood there stunned for a while before realizing their position and her face flushed red.

Because she had to use the special technique of Shunpo with Motoshi to move with her, Alex held her very tightly, and the two were almost pressed together.

Alex, who was half a head taller than Su Shi, had her chest just below the nape of Su Shi's neck.

As Alex's hair swayed, the sweet scent of grapefruit drifted into Su Shi's nostrils on the gentle breeze. A hot and soft body pressed against her shoulders and back, while warm little hands wrapped around Su Shi's waist and pressed against her lower abdomen.

It feels... a bit bigger than me... Ugh—what am I thinking!

The thought suddenly popped into Su Shi's mind, and she let out a mournful cry in her heart.

She took a deep breath, but all she could smell in her nostrils was Alex's scent. She couldn't tell if it was from her shower gel or perfume, but it smelled much better than the aromatherapy she usually used.

Should we ask her what brand of shower gel she uses later?

As Su Shi's thoughts drifted further and further away, she suddenly felt a pulling motion. The small hand pressing on her lower abdomen suddenly tightened, causing Su Shi's delicate body to tremble involuntarily.

It turned out that the wall that was blocking the witch's attack had been struck so violently that it had sent out several pieces of stone, one of which landed right where they had just been standing.

Alex had no choice but to use Instant Transmission again while holding her before being hit.

She was stunned for a moment before realizing that the distance between them was now in a very awkward state.

If one ignores the surrounding scene, the two girls' posture at this moment can be described as extremely ambiguous.

"Um... could you... let me go?"

Su Shi gently twisted her body, realizing she couldn't break free, so she forced herself to suppress her embarrassment and maintain her smiling expression, whispering a reminder to Alex.

"This is so convenient..."

But Alex's attention was elsewhere.

She gazed at the wall, cracked and battered by the IV tubing, which stood stubbornly in front of the now-empty space, seemingly on the verge of collapse, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Actually, I feel that it's okay to hold you like this. It won't hinder the fight, and it will make you safer."

Then, she lowered her head and spoke to Su Shi in her arms.

After all, fighting with a katana doesn't require any other secondary tools. Alex can wield the weapon with one hand, and with her free hand holding Sue, she can focus on playing the bass and manipulating the surroundings to interfere with the witch's actions.

It's like treating Su Shi as a secondary weapon capable of fighting on its own.

"No, no need...!"

As Alex spoke with her head down, her breath brushed against the sensitive spot behind her ear, causing Su Shi to feel a tingling, electric sensation in her neck and lower back. Her delicate body went limp almost instantly, and she hurriedly said something.

But in this state, her tone became incredibly charming, and she couldn't be forceful at all. To others, it sounded like she was playing hard to get.

"OK then."

Fortunately, Alex was unaware of this; she simply blinked, responded, and released her arms.

Su Shi, whose breathing was somewhat rapid for some reason, hurriedly took two steps back to the side as soon as she left Alex's embrace. She raised her bass and used the headstock to slightly cover her blushing cheeks, her gaze darting away.

"...Zhou, there's so little we can use around here, let's end this battle quickly..."

As if changing the subject, Su Shi lightly plucked the strings of her zither, which awakened the two walls, causing them to tear themselves off and rush up to replace the completely broken wall, blocking the witch's increasingly intense attacks.

As Alex learned more about Su Shi's magic and gained a better understanding of this special ability, she gradually developed a sense of curiosity.

It seems that while it might not be very lethal in combat and might not be able to deal with very strong enemies, it could be quite useful in everyday situations...

Imagine if all the devices and tools in the house could operate automatically according to her wishes. Alex could then have all the mechanical devices build a complete automated process without her having to worry about how to place the gears to transmit power.

Furthermore, she no longer needs to personally handle the cooking work in the hamburger shop's kitchen; she can simply let the ingredients cook themselves... She might even be able to control the villagers to willingly hand over their belongings to her, eliminating the need to pay those unscrupulous merchants...!

This ability, while not very useful in combat, seems to be of great help in my daily life.

The more Alex fantasized, the more excited she became. She began to think about how to bring Su Shi home and make her willingly work for her.

"Alex...?"

Seeing that the two walls were about to collapse, and lacking combat experience, Su Shi couldn't think of a way to counterattack, so she turned to look at Alex with pleading eyes.

"What, what's wrong?"

But as soon as she looked over, she noticed that Alex was staring at her with a very intense gaze. Seeing this, Su Shi's usual gentle smile seemed to be about to crumble. She brought her long, white legs together, shrank her neck, and asked.

She just held me in her arms for so long... and now she's staring at me without blinking... Could it be that she's taken a liking to me?!

Could it be... that she finally couldn't resist and wanted to eat me up?!

But this doesn't look like appetite... wait...!

Is it... another form of eating? But no matter what kind of eating it is... it's not a good idea!

Having finally managed to let go of some of her fear of Alex because of the time they had spent together, Su Shi couldn't help but start overthinking when she saw her like this, remembering Alex's identity as a monster.

The more she thought about it, the more she could not hide the fear on her pretty little face.

"Hmm...it's nothing, let's take care of the witch first."

Unbeknownst to Alex, who appeared to be gentle and friendly, her thoughts were becoming increasingly outrageous. Alex was brought back to her senses by the call, nodded, and temporarily turned her attention back to the witch.

There's no need to discuss that kind of thing inside the witch's barrier; let's wait until we're outside.

With this thought in mind, Alex gripped the ruby ​​tightly and skillfully unleashed a phantom sword. A ghostly blue light streaked through the air, and she instantly appeared above the witch.

She unleashed a barrage of phantom blades, like a torrential downpour, and plunged them downwards with ferocious force.

Seriously impressed.jpg

P.S. It's definitely smoother and more comfortable to write with things like sticking together and other interactive elements.

When I say Su Shi's abilities are too strong, I'm not referring to combat or conceptual aspects, but rather to her everyday storyline design.

If she's willing to abandon morality, then she's truly invincible; she can do whatever she wants and do whatever she pleases.

What stopped Su Shi from going on a killing spree was her useless kindness.

Volume 2: Chapter 218 Trapped by the Past

"Guest, please enjoy your mango juice and Darjeeling tea."

At Yuzawa Cafe, a female employee with short brown hair and brown eyes stood in front of two girls' table, put down mango juice and black tea, smiled and nodded gently, and then turned and left.

After watching the other person walk away, Xiangzi picked up his black tea and took a small sip.

It's been almost half a year since I last came here, and it still tastes just as familiar...

She slowly felt

Enjoying the fragrance of black tea.

However, it seems that the black tea made by Alex herself tastes better—after all, it comes from a cheat-like source, which is understandable. It would be unfair to compare it with ordinary tea from outside.

Recently, Xiangzi has been drinking black tea made from the tea trees that Alex planted herself, and his taste seems to have become much more discerning than before.

It's all because Alex spoiled her.

Blinking her large, light-gold eyes, the blue-haired girl pursed her lips, staring blankly at Xiangzi as he casually sipped his black tea.

They hadn't seen each other for several months, and usually only had some basic communication on Line from time to time. Most of the time, Mu was just relaying Su Shi's various questions to her, which she would brush off.

It wasn't until today, when they sat down to chat after a long time, that Mu suddenly realized that Xiangzi seemed to be in a very different state from how he remembered her recently.

"What's wrong, Mu?"

Seeing that Mu was staring at him but hadn't touched the mango juice, Xiangzi put down his black tea and asked softly, puzzled.

"Xiang... has changed."

Mu mumbled softly.

"Really? It's just because we haven't seen each other for a long time that Mutsu has this misconception, right?"

Unable to grasp Mu's meaning, Xiangzi, who was very relaxed when facing his childhood friend, simply smiled and spoke casually.

"Xiang is very happy now..."

I've become like before, no longer the person I was after leaving Crychic, always tense, forcing myself, and pushing myself too hard.

During that period, Xiangzi couldn't even smile from the bottom of his heart when he was with her.

Looking at Xiangzi's expression, Mu silently thought to himself.

Xiangzi now smiles with ease.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Xiangzi subconsciously touched the corner of her slightly upturned lips. She recalled the warm scene of her and Alex discussing the menu together in the burger shop, and her smile couldn't help but deepen.

"Because I recently met a very nice friend."

Speaking softly, not intending to go into too much detail about the matter, Xiangzi quickly returned to the main topic.

"Let's not talk about that now. Mu, you just said you had band practice at Ring today?"

This is why Xiangzi specifically sought out a place to sit down and have a slow chat with Mu.

"Could you... tell me in more detail?"

His expression became somewhat serious, and Xiangzi straightened his back, as if he was preparing to listen attentively.

"Ah."

When this topic came up, Mu, who had been looking directly into Xiangzi's eyes, lowered them again.

"Lixi suggested we rehearse, and everyone arrived..."
