Chapter 175

Chapter 171: Miuye’s Long Night

The Mysterious Beautiful Girl accepts all things.

Do not chase those who have left, do not reject those who come; the depth of her character is what makes her a Mysterious Beautiful Girl.

In other words, a Mysterious Beautiful Girl should never show her bottom.

In that sense, I was quite the Mysterious Beautiful Girl now.

“……”

Miuye and I were keeping our mouths shut.

However, what existed between us was a kind of trust, and a sense of enjoyment in the night gave rise to this silence.

With the night breeze blowing through her hair, I gently stroked Miuye, who was on my lap, while smiling.

A lap pillow from a beautiful girl… is this a trophy unlocked?

“Let’s work hard until we get the trophy completion! Oh, by the way, there’s also a trophy for being the one receiving a lap pillow!”

A beautiful girl giving me a lap pillow?

“Oh, are you not interested? I thought you would gladly jump at the chance for a beautiful girl’s lap pillow.”

A beautiful girl’s lap pillow is sacred.

Once, in our country, there were many shrines dedicated to a deity modeled after the thighs of beautiful girls.

Some literature even claims that seventy-five percent of the eight million gods are contained within the thighs of beautiful girls.

“Which country are you from?”

A country in the Far East? A land of Yamato spirit?

In short, to receive a lap pillow from a beautiful girl requires a lot of preparation.

One must carefully craft the situation.

Personally, I believe that a Mysterious Beautiful Girl receiving a lap pillow is not part of the main story but rather an additional DLC.

The Mysterious Beautiful Girl, who never showed weakness in the main storyline, suddenly revealing that weakness.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that a lap pillow is established through the cooperation of both parties.

If she is to provide the best lap pillow as a beautiful girl, I must also offer a glimpse of the Mysterious Beautiful Girl’s slight weakness.

To that end, I would need to wear myself down and become exhausted.

If I am to give a lap pillow, I’d have to fight angels without sleep or rest for about a month.

“What a huge pervert.”

Such a precious lap pillow!

Then wouldn’t a thoroughly exhausted body simply drift away?

I want to enjoy the lap pillow of a beautiful girl to its fullest!

“I regret suggesting this lightly. I never knew the depths of lap pillows.”

But newcomers should feel free to give and receive lap pillows. Casual lap pillows are trending now.

If we raise the bar too high and reduce the population of lap pillow players, us veteran lap pillow players will be in trouble.

“A first for me in this community.”

It seems the Star Reader’s Staff still doesn’t know much about the human world. I should teach him later.

For now, I must complete my older sister move toward Miuye.

If I did something like this with Clam, he might attack me, so I can’t do that… it’s a rare opportunity.

“Why don’t you do it with Clam too? She might give you an ear cleaning in return.”

There’s no way I’d fall for such an obvious trap.

If I did that, I’d go from Mysterious Beautiful Girl to just a weak and pitiful beautiful girl.

…Although that wouldn’t be so bad.

“—So, Solciera, why did you come here?”

Interrupting the meaningful conference between myself and the Star Reader’s Staff, Miuye suddenly asked that.

With a mysterious smile, I brushed her hair.

“Hehe, it’s nothing special. Don’t worry about it.”

“…Could it be that you’re worried about me?”

“…Well, who knows?”

Oh no.

The atmosphere isn’t right to ask for weapon crafting anymore.

What will I do, Star Reader’s Staff?

At this rate, my weapon!

I’ve been practicing my performance for this new weapon!

“Calm down. Just wait for the right timing.”

Y-Yeah!

A Mysterious Beautiful Girl must always remain cool!

Let the self-proclaimed cool characters who are on the verge of character collapse, or Solciera, who has had extra moe concepts added to her, be the domain of fan fiction!

As the official, I will embody the solitary Mysterious Beautiful Girl!

“Even just the fact that you’re turning yourself into content is bizarre. You’re quite accepting of such shallow fan works…”

If fan fiction is thriving, the official can thrive too.

“Still, you really are a good-natured person, Solciera.”

“It’s just a whim. The shining stars in the heavens only illuminate people equally.”

As I stroked Miuye, her cheeks relaxed as if she were being tickled.

This atmosphere, it’s delightful~♪

Let’s just soak it all in and take it home~♪

“Don’t suddenly show such a creepy side.”

But only the Star Reader’s Staff gets to see this side of me.

“Uh, huh?! Is that so?! Well, that’s to be expected!”

Yes, I’ve been getting to know how to handle you lately.

It’s just like a dog that has become very attached!

“Partner♥ Today, I’ll make you all mushy♥ Whether you cry or scream, I won’t stop♥ You need to understand that you belong to me♥♥♥”

Not a dog, but maybe a grizzly bear.

A grizzly bear that has become extremely ferocious in a state of starvation.

“…Do you think I can meet my older sister?”

Miuye was also pondering a heavy topic herself.

A Star Reader’s Staff in the front and Miuye in the back.

Good grief, being a Mysterious Beautiful Girl is tough.

“Both of those situations stem from you, after all.”

That’s true.

Therefore, I will take responsibility and complete my Mysterious Move!

“If that’s what you wish, it will surely come true.”

I smiled softly.

At that moment, it was important to give her just a slightly kinder smile than usual.

With that, I would etch the smile of the Mysterious Beautiful Girl into the genius’s mind.

What is in front of you is a Mysterious Beautiful Girl you will never forget in your life…!

“…Thank you! I feel like I can do my best now!”

With that, Miuye slowly got up.

Perhaps it was because she had been lying down for a while; Miuye had a refreshed face.

In exchange, both of my legs had fallen asleep.

Star Reader’s Staff, what should I do? I can’t stand!

“Well…”

Should I train to avoid getting my legs asleep in situations like this later?

A Mysterious Beautiful Girl shouldn’t have her legs go numb.

Being able to give a lap pillow for hours while remaining cool is the essence of a Mysterious Beautiful Girl.

“Thank you, Solciera!”

“You’re welcome, it’s nothing really.”

In response to my words, Miuye shook her head.

“No, thinking back, you’ve already helped me many times, and I’ve never once had the chance to thank you. If you don’t mind, I would like to repay you. I’m quite confident in my skills at making things, you know!”

Miuye, shaking her shoulders, was clearly full of motivation.

This… is a weapon opportunity?

“Then, could I ask for one favor?”

“Yes!”

I summoned an unnecessarily elaborate magic circle and connected it to the extended space.

Then, I took out an angel’s skull fragment and a horn.

Processed safely by the Star Reader’s Staff and stuffed into a mechanical case, they looked rather imposing when seen like this.

Although they are just the remains of a weak angel.

“Eh… huh?!”

It seemed that, with the Truth-seeing Eye, she realized what it was.

Miuye alternated her gaze between my face and the remains of the angel.

“Th-this… this is the rumored angel, isn’t it…?”

“Oh, I see you know about it. Yes, this is the corpse of an angel. It had quite an interesting ability, so I thought I’d play around with it.”

I took out a memory chip and placed it on the table.

Then I took a sip of tea and said.

“I want you to make a weapon using this angel as material. The blueprint is in there.”

“A weapon made from an angel…!”

It seems Miuye’s researcher spirit was awakened, and she gazed at the angel’s remains with shining eyes.

Such cute sparkling eyes~♪

If you want it that much, should I give you some extra materials?

“That’s not something you can just casually give away.”

“Oh, if there’s anything left, you can have it.”

“Eh?!”

“Eh?! Really?!”

Miuye wouldn’t misuse it. It’s fine, it’s fine!

“Well, yes… although it is technically an existence that could potentially destroy humanity.”

There’s no way something so weak could cause humanity’s extinction. You’d have to beat Rokuhara first to even reach the starting line.

“Is it really alright?”

“Of course. You have to pay an excellent technician accordingly.”

“But this kind of angel…”

Hmm, Mysterious Move chance!

“Eh?!”

In this brief moment when Miuye looked away, I would teleport!

If the person you were just talking to disappears, doesn’t it give off that strong character vibe?

Hurry up, teleport quickly!

“You’re busy, huh.”

Oh, don’t forget the teacup!

I once lost it because I forgot at Kroma, and someone stole it. The security there is surprisingly bad!

“Alright, teleporting now.”

See ya, Miuye~♪

Let’s meet again under the beautiful stars at night~♪

—

“Is it really okay to own something like this—”

When I looked back towards Solciera, she was gone.

The teacup and her had vanished from the spot, as if they had been mere illusions.

“…She must be quite busy.”

Miuye nodded in understanding and picked up the memory chip.

Then she plugged the data into her dive gear and displayed it in a virtual window.

“Indeed, this is a blueprint. Yeah, it’s done well.”

Seeing it, Miuye realized that the one who created this blueprint was quite skilled.

“This is going to be rewarding!”

Miuye was suddenly filled with motivation.

It was a golden opportunity to convey her gratitude to her benefactor through an interesting blueprint.

There was no reason for her not to be motivated.

“So this is the blueprint, and here are the details on the angel!”

The data was divided into several files.

Miuye opened what seemed to be the file that contained detailed information about the angel.

And then.

“…This…”

The moment she laid her eyes on it, Miuye understandably realized.

The meticulous notes on how to handle it seemed as though someone had intended to hand it over from the start.

Above all, the powers held by that angel.

“The Angel of Death…”

This was not a result of physical injury or the destruction of the soul that leads to death.

It was the very concept of death itself.

Why Solciera would hand over something like that, Miuye understood immediately.

“From the very beginning, she intended to give this to help with my research…”

Miuye was a clever girl.

Thus, she understood the true intent behind Solciera’s actions.

“You really are a good-natured person after all.”

Miuye said that to the absent Solciera.

Then, with a deep breath, she slapped her cheeks to motivate herself.

“…Alright! I’ll craft the ultimate weapon that will leave Solciera in awe!”

Returning to her workspace, Miuye immediately began working on the weapon.

(If I can repay her even a little…!)

Miuye’s night had only just begun.
