"That's right! If you want to see Lumine, go ahead, but don't say you came specifically to see her. Come up with a superficial reason, or just don't answer her questions at all~"
In other words, she's being tsundere...
Kong paused for a moment and instinctively repeated,
"A superficial reason..."
If I simplify it, it's like saying one thing and meaning another, right? Hmm, there should still be some time before Lumine and the others successfully foil my plan. Since she helped me brainstorm just now, I'll tease her a bit more before sending her back...
With that thought, Kong chuckled, stood up, and sat down beside Ying.
"I really underestimated you. That's a good suggestion, but it has a fatal flaw."
"A flaw? What flaw?"
The naive Ying didn't sense anything amiss.
"The flaw is... can you actually keep your mouth shut?"
"Huh? Me? What does that have to do with me?"
Ying pointed at herself with her hand and asked in confusion.
"Yes. If I send you back, and Lumine asks you about what you've experienced here, what do you think you'll do to deal with her?"
"Ah, this... well..."
Ying was taken aback for a moment, then immediately said with a divided expression,
"Of course, I'll keep your secret for you! I'm someone who loves keeping secrets~"
Hmph... When I get back, I'll tell Lumine everything you did to bully me today, and have her teach you a good lesson, you bad guy (*￣з￣)
"Ugh..."
Seeing Ying's insincere expression, Kong shook his head helplessly.
This girl definitely doesn't mean that, does she...
Thinking this, an idea also popped into Kong's mind.
Kong sighed softly and then pretended to be helpless.
"Alas... While your words touch me, my sister isn't that easily fooled. If I'm not mistaken, even if you honestly told her the whole story, she'd still bully you a bit just to be safe, wouldn't she?"
"Ah, this... probably... not..."
Ying stammered. Although she wanted to say it with certainty, Kong's words made it difficult for her to disagree.
If Lumine bullied me a few less times, I wouldn't hesitate like this (╥﹏╥)
Although the process was painful and joyful... Ptooey! Delete that sentence!
Seeing Ying's lack of confidence, Kong smiled triumphantly and continued,
"Let's make a deal. A deal that guarantees you'll absolutely not reveal our conversation."
"Uh..."
Ying raised her little hand and quietly said,
"Can we not...?"
"Of course. Then I'll just help you clear your memories of this period of time (⌒_⌒)"
"e
Kong smiled and ruffled Ying's little head.
"Alright, alright, go activate your Waypoint now."
"Mm..."
Damn it... The protagonist doesn't show his true colors and treats me like a child bride, does he... Just you wait, I'll definitely secretly tell Lumine everything when I get back, and have her sort you out!
Ying-chan, who can't leave Lumine behind...
But will Lumine really get angry because her brother called Ying his child bride?
