Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 1256: A naked provocation?
Olvera suspected that she had heard it wrong.

She looked at the little bat's serious expression and couldn't help asking again: "What did you say just now, Leticia?"

"I said," No matter how many times she asked, Leticia had only one purpose for coming here today, and naturally there was only one answer, "Give Lingge to me!"

It’s categorical and unquestionable.

She showed enough confidence that people even had the illusion that Lingge had originally belonged to her and now she was just going to take him back.

But then again, is Ringer a thing?

“No, no, no!” Olvera finally reacted and shook her head again and again, shaking it faster than Yieta’s windmill, even leaving an afterimage: “I won’t give Lingge to you… No, Lingge is not something that can be given away! Besides, you, you…”

She looked the little bat up and down and asked suspiciously, "Don't you hate Ling Ge very much? Why do you do this all of a sudden?"

Or is her dislike a disguise to make everyone relax their vigilance against her? What a despicable little bat!

Ovella thought she had discovered the truth but was still a little confused: "But you are too young, it's not appropriate."

"What's that?" Leticia glanced at her and said as a matter of course: "It's because you are young that you need Lingge. If I were an adult, I wouldn't need him!"

This was completely the truth, and the little bat had absolutely no other intention. However, to Princess Berman's ears, it had a different meaning.

"Is it necessary because of your young age?!"

Ovella was struck by lightning and suddenly realized a terrible possibility: Could it be that Lingge likes younger girls?

But for someone as young as Leticia, it's simply a crime!

Well, we're talking about mental age here.

How could you lay hands on a girl whose IQ is only about that of a 10-year-old, whose body is not developed at all, and who is even your sister's best friend, Lingge? I really misjudged you!
Olvera hated Lingge and felt that he was a disgrace to Yunjingkong Island. In order to prevent him from falling into the abyss of crime, she should fulfill her responsibilities as a companion and persuade him to wake up and repent as soon as possible. Well, I also need to persuade Leticia. Since she called me sister, I have the obligation to help her grow up healthily. I must not be deceived by a young man who looks decent but is actually perverted!

So, this is the sense of responsibility as a sister...

A surge of pride surged in Avella's heart, and she finally understood what Sister Xiaoxia felt.

Leticia looked at Avra ​​with a sidelong glance, feeling that she had subtly misunderstood something. If she didn't clarify, things might go in a direction that was difficult to control. So she quickly said, "Don't worry, Sister Avra, I'm only borrowing Ling Ge for a while. Just help me do one thing, and I'll return him when the matter is over."

She spoke as if Ringo was a Pokémon (some magical creature that Alice mentioned) that she caught at random.

"Huh?" Ovella realized that she seemed to have misunderstood something: "You mean, you borrowed Lingge for serious matters?"

Otherwise, what kind of improper things are you thinking about?
The little bat quietly rolled his eyes, but pretended to be honest on the surface and nodded gently: "Yeah."

"And only for a period of time?"

"That's right." The little bat nodded again: "It won't delay the relationship between you and Lingge."

As for what happened between Ovilla and Lingge, everyone just needs to understand it and don't point it out.

Avra pinched her chin and pondered, and her attitude obviously softened.

Leticia saw her reaction and couldn't help but admire Lorena, because this set of rhetoric was prepared by Her Royal Highness Princess Haiqi. She was well versed in human nature and had seen through Olvera's weaknesses long ago: "Olvera is a very smart girl, but her intelligence is mainly in books. Once it comes to interpersonal communication, she will become stupid. You can plead as a sister and take the initiative to show weakness, so it will be easy to deal with her. In addition, perhaps influenced by her childhood experiences, her character is used to reconciliation. She will only become tough when it really touches the bottom line. Therefore, you can first propose a condition that she will never accept, and then retreat when she firmly refuses. In this way, she will choose to give in because of guilt because she feels that she has misunderstood you. Of course, this alone is not enough to make her willingly agree. When she is wavering in the end, you have to throw in some chips appropriately, and finally give her a little sweetness to taste. She is a girl who is very easy to satisfy~"

"I will speak well of you in front of Lingge, Sister Olvera!" Following Rorona's instruction, the little bat made a firm bet: "Tell him how generous and considerate you are. I guarantee he will look at you with new eyes!"

Olvera's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, didn't Ling Ge always say that he was too dependent on him, and he needed him to accompany him to fall asleep every night, and he often advised himself to get rid of dependence and be independent. Isn't now the best opportunity? Tell him that I am not that dependent on you. Look, the little bat needs your help, and I generously let him go. Isn't this independent and autonomous enough?

This way, he will have no reason to complain about himself in the future, right?
"Okay!" Princess Bemang agreed without hesitation: "I agree, I will give Lingge to you temporarily, um... it shouldn't take long, right?"

"No!" The little bat said quickly, "At most, two weeks at most!"

No way, if possible, Little Bat hoped for two months, two years would be even better. But she knew that as a human being... well, as a vampire, one should not be too greedy. Two weeks was already on the edge of Ovilla's bottom line. If it was longer, she would not agree. She might even sell her out to Saint Shalia. This risk could not be taken.

Sure enough, Avella felt a little heartbroken after hearing the deadline, but when she thought about the subsequent benefits, she gritted her teeth and agreed.

The two reached a consensus without Lingge knowing.

"Thank you for your understanding, Sister Olvera..." The little bat said politely (pretending), but he was very excited. He had dealt with the first one, so how far would the next one be? Humph, the next target is you, Sister Yieta!
The little bat paused. No matter whether she said it out loud or thought about it in her heart, the title of sister always seemed so unfamiliar to her, with a hint of awkwardness, strangeness, and a yearning that she herself was not even aware of.

After all, that's the code for adults. "Hahaha, you're welcome, Leticia." However, her good sister Olvera, whom she admired as an adult, smiled more brightly than a child like her, not knowing how to hide her emotions at all: "We are good sisters, so it's only natural for us to help each other!"

Are they good sisters?
of course.

Princess Beman and the little bat smiled at each other. Even though one of them looked a little guilty and the other a little embarrassed, it was undoubtedly a portrait of deep sisterly love.

……

Ten minutes later, inside the windmill tower room.

"Sister Yieta, this is what's going on. I really, really, really want to grow up so that I can help Metien and everyone else. But only Lingge on Yunjingkong Island knows how to grow up, so I hope he can help me. So, Sister Yieta, can you lend me Lingge temporarily, temporarily, temporarily? It doesn't take too long, two weeks will be enough! Please, Sister Yieta, you are such a good person, you will definitely not refuse me, right?"

Leticia was hugging the angel lady's soft waist, looking at her with sparkling eyes, saying one thing after another in a coquettish way, but she felt so sick that she wanted to vomit. Of course, it was not directed at Yieta, but at herself. The little bat always looked down on those coquettish girls, who had no ideas of their own and only knew how to act coquettishly and pretend to be pitiful. She never thought that one day she would become the most annoying person. You know, she had never acted like this even when she was facing her grandmother, and now she was just rolling around in front of Yieta and acting like a spoiled child.

If this is the price of growing up, isn’t it too cruel?

But there was no way, because it was Lorena who gave her such an idea.

The alchemist's words came to mind: "Yieta's dependence on Lingge is actually deeper than Olvera's, but in a sense, she is even easier to deal with than Olvera, because her dependence is essentially a lack of family affection. Her long wandering life and experience of living in Avignon Village have made her pay special attention to her family. As long as this problem can be solved, it won't be difficult to make her give in."

As for how to solve it? That's even easier, because aren't you Yieta's family member?

Sisters love each other deeply, sisters love each other deeply!
That's why Leticia kept calling her "Sister Yieta" and even threw away her dignity and acted like a spoiled child to her. The effect was very significant. Yieta, who had never experienced such a kind of affection offensive, was stunned by her words. Looking at the little girl in her arms with a wronged and tearful face, she couldn't say no anyway. After all, she just wanted to grow up quickly and help everyone. This just hit what Yieta had been thinking all along, and made her feel a sense of sympathy.

I am fine. Even if I can't go to the battlefield, at least I can help others through other means, such as the Whale Island under my feet. But Leticia has always been treated as a child by everyone. Neither her grandmother, Lingge nor Saint Xia Liya expect her to be useful. Seeing that her good friend Metien has taken the most important step in her growth, even her brother recognizes her determination and is willing to let her go to the dangerous battlefield for training. The little bat must be extremely anxious, right?

What's wrong with children wanting to grow up?
As for Leticia's words, "Only Linger can help her grow up", Yieta never doubted it from beginning to end. After all, that was Linger, and there seemed to be nothing in the world that he couldn't do. Not to mention helping a child become an adult, even helping a man become a woman... uh, this might be a little difficult, right?

In short, in a nutshell.

"I promise you, Leticia!"

Ieta was deeply moved and hugged her sister tightly, encouraging and cheering her up. Of course, it might also be because Leticia called her sister. In the past, she was the only one who called others sister. Now she could finally show her dignity as a sister like her most admired sister Xiaoxia: "Since you are so determined, how can I stop you? Just go find Ling Ge, he can definitely help you become an adult! Ahem, if Ling Ge can't do it, you can also come to me, okay?"

She said in a reserved and slightly complacent tone: "After all, I am your sister after all."

A gentle, mature, steady, and omnipotent sister... That was Yieta's ideal type. Although she couldn't achieve it yet, it didn't stop her from boasting to her sister.

"Uh, uh! Ahem. I..."

"Hey, Leticia, why are you silent? Your face is so red, are you shy? Oh, why are you shy in front of your sister, hehe!"

"You're hugging me... so tight... I can't breathe..."

"Eh?"

……

After finally escaping from Yieta's "True Sister in Arms Kill", the frightened little bat left the windmill tower room, looking for the next and final target, the most difficult one - Gloria/White Night.

Of course, the difficult one is not Gloria, but Bai Ye.

In the words of Lorena -

"I can't see through her." Princess Haiqi said solemnly: "The key depends on who the personality you are negotiating with is. If it is Gloria, it will not be difficult. Whether it is the means to deal with Aoweila or Yieta, it will work on her. But if it is Bai Ye, it is hard to say. She is a person without weaknesses. Of course, you don't have to be too nervous, because this person... uh, these two people are not the targets that must be solved. Although they will also take up Lingge's time, that is in the dream and does not conflict with you. Therefore, it is best to convince her, but it doesn't matter if you can't convince her."

Having said that, Leticia had already convinced the first two people, so why should she compromise on the last one? Either don't do it, or do it to the best of your ability. This is her life creed - she just established it.

"Well, since you insist, I can only give you a suggestion." Rorona sighed softly: "Bai Ye is a very strong person, but the stronger a person is, the more fragile she is inside. The key is how to break her protective barrier. So you don't have to expect to convince her with reason or emotion, just use force directly."

Hard...how hard?

After much thought, Leticia finally stood in front of Bai Ye, and the first words she blurted out were: "Let's duel!"

She put her hands on her hips and shouted with great momentum: "Whoever wins will own the Ringer!"

white night:"???"

Give me some meow
