"So cute!"

Lin Yu tried hard to maintain his 'righteous and upright' image, but the green light in his eyes betrayed his filthy thoughts. If there weren't many other customers in the store, Lin Yu would probably have already hugged the adorable little girl in front of him and rubbed against her.

Tina is currently wearing a pink dress that Lin Yu picked out for her. Although the style isn't as sophisticated as the one she usually wears, it accentuates her soft and cute temperament even more. Where does she look like a little expert ranked 98th in the IP rankings? She looks like a total soft girl!

"Tsk tsk, the clothes in Japan are really different. Even children's clothes have so many styles. No wonder there are so many lolicon in Japan."

He casually picked out another item and handed it to Tina. Lin Yu had already turned the group of lolis who came with him into a clothing display rack, making them try on one item after another. Although he didn't take any pictures, Lin Yu had already stored them deep in his mind with his super memory.

"Um, sir, are you sure you want to wrap all of these up?"

The sales assistant was stunned. This store usually doesn't have a large transaction volume because of its relatively high prices. She never expected that such a big spender would come today. The clothes he picked out could be piled up into a small mountain!

"Of course we'll wrap it up. Are you worried we won't have the money to pay?"

Lin Yu looked amusedly at the saleswoman who was a little dizzy from the surprise. This was all her sales performance; the commission alone was equivalent to several months' salary for her.

"No, no, but there are too many of these, can you carry them all?"

The sales assistant regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth, wishing she could slap herself. Wasn't this just blatantly throwing money away? What if the person really didn't buy it?

"Don't worry about it, don't worry about it."

Lin Yu waved his hand. He had been prepared for this day. He had specially exchanged a subspace ability with Gaia. This ability had no other use except for storage. The space was not large, only about 100 cubic meters, but it was enough.

This one ability cost Lin Yu two thousand points. Although he knew that the so-called points were more symbolic than practical, it still hurt a little.

"Humph!"

Shana pouted unhappily. Of course, she would much rather go on a date with Lin Yu alone than go out with the whole family. It was normal for her to be a little upset.

"Wow, my Shana is definitely the cutest!"

This time, Lin Yu didn't care about his image anymore. He suddenly lunged forward and hugged Xia Na, who hadn't even reacted yet. Xia Na, who was standing in front of Lin Yu, was wearing a rather complicated dress. Even the lace and bow on the dress were quite elaborate. Wearing it added a bit of seriousness to this strong-willed loli, but the bunny ear hair clip on Xia Na's head softened this aloofness and added a bit of cuteness.

It can be said that Shana's temperament has changed after changing into this outfit. It's not that the old Shana was bad, but this version of her gives Lin Yu a refreshing feeling. Lin Yu never thought that his body pillow could be so cute!

"Wow, so soft! I really want to tease Shana!"

Lin Yu was quite strong; at least, Xia Na, who was being held by him, couldn't break free without using her strength. The usually spirited Xia Na, when dressed in this outfit, always gave Lin Yu a feeling of wanting to bully her. So, knowing that Xia Na wouldn't use her strength, Lin Yu became even more unrestrained and started rubbing his face against Xia Na's.

"hentai!"

Xia Shi, who had just come out of the fitting room, was startled. The clothes she was holding fell to the ground. She then stared at Lin Yu warily, looking on guard.

"Um, sir, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Well, even the sales assistants couldn't stand it anymore. In their eyes, who didn't know about the bond between Lin Yu and Xia Na, Lin Yu seemed like a creepy uncle forcing a little girl. Some of the other sales assistants even took out their phones, ready to call the police if things got out of hand.

"Tsk tsk."

Lin Yu released Xia Na with considerable regret. The latter jumped far away almost instantly and glared at Lin Yu together with Xia Shi.

"Have you picked out almost all the clothes?"

When there was no cute little girl in his arms, Lin Yu's expression looked extremely serious. At least, if they hadn't witnessed the scene of Lin Yu forcibly hugging Xia Na earlier, these sales assistants would probably have thought he was a good brother who doted on his sister.

As for now?

You can tell just by looking at their forced smiles and the disdain in their eyes.

"Besides these already wrapped, please wrap these, these, and these too, in all sizes!"

Lin Yu didn't care what others thought. He knew that his little girl was just being tsundere and didn't actually hate him, which was enough for him.

"You want these too? But none of these little girls have tried them on yet."

The sales assistant was a bit confused. The clothes Lin Yu had ordered were all quite expensive, and they didn't even know if they would fit if he hadn't tried them on.

"Speak less and do more. Just help me wrap it up, and I won't shortchange you on the money."

Lin Yu rolled his eyes at the young sales assistant, annoyed. Although she meant well, he had never seen anyone refuse money.

"Uh, okay."

The sales assistant went to pack the clothes, full of doubt, while Shana walked up to Lin Yu.

Are you planning to go there today?

Shana looked at Lin Yu with a serious expression. She had already guessed from Lin Yu's current actions that the plan was finally about to be fully launched!

"Of course, there has to be a beginning, right?"

Lin Yu nodded. Not everything in this world can be accomplished with force. The mainstream ideology of this world is to reject the children of the curse. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to reverse such a mainstream idea. If things go wrong, it could lead to the tragic deaths of a large number of children of the curse.

Even though their current situation is already tragic enough, Tokyo is just a simplistic, harmonious version of reality. Other regions are likely far more brutal. The cursed children with combat abilities fare somewhat better off, but those like Kitten…

Although unwilling, Lin Yu, who had witnessed too much of the dark side of humanity, could fully imagine what evil things people would do.

Don't worry, everything will be fine.

Shana had great confidence in Lin Yu, not blindly, but out of trust.

"Let's go after we've packed the clothes up, let's head to the outer district!"

[The recommendations have been really strong lately, everyone keep it up! Before a book is officially released, recommendation votes are basically the best indicator of its performance. Seeing the number of recommendation votes increase every day gives us more confidence for its release.]

163. Shana...sir?

"here it is……"

The kitten slightly opened its mouth, looking at the fallen road sign in front of it with a complicated expression. Three words were spray-painted on it.

—Outer perimeter area!

This is where the kitten used to live. No, perhaps "living" is too beautiful a word to describe it; "struggle" would be a more appropriate word.

That's right, it's a struggle!

A little girl abandoned at a young age has to struggle to survive in this desolate area. The kitten doesn't know how many girls like herself have died in this cruel place. She only knows that in order to survive, she has faced persecution from humans who are more terrifying than Gastrea in their hearts than ever before.

She had always been lucky enough to escape before, but that time, if Lin Yu and Xia Na hadn't interfered, her fate might have been the same as in the original story—barely surviving but paying the price of near death.

Such a tragedy did not only happen to her. Among the many cursed children, Xiao Mao was already considered very lucky. At least, she met Lin Yu.

Don't worry, everything will be alright.

Lin Yu bent down and cupped the kitten's face. The little girl was wearing a brand new outfit that she had just bought, and she was almost unrecognizable from the first time she met Lin Yu. If someone else had said this, she might have just taken it as a word of comfort, but she would believe the words of the person in front of her unconditionally!

"Ok!"

The kitten nodded vigorously, her lips pressed tightly together. Her trust in Lin Yu had almost reached the point of blind obedience.

"It's truly a world of difference."

Once you enter the outer area, the desolate scenery is almost the opposite of the bustling Tokyo area. This area is close to the megalith, and if Gastrea invades, the outer area will be the first to be affected!

People drove these abandoned girls here. Although they are children of the curse, they have no fighting ability. Otherwise, they would have been taken away by IISO to form a police force. Once Gastrea attacks, they will only face a slaughter without any suspense!

"Protected by the cursed children yet viewing them as monsters—an incomprehensible mindset."

This is Shana's view of those humans who harbor extreme hatred for the cursed children.

"Yes, the humans in this world are too cowardly. They don't have enough courage to take revenge on the Gastrea, so they just bully these poor little girls."

Lin Yu calmly smoothed the kitten's wind-blown hair.

'The humans of this world?'

Xia Shi possessed exceptional intelligence, and Lin Yu and Xia Na's conversation was not kept secret from her. This clever little girl glanced back and forth between the two, and combined with the incredible power of Lin Yu and Xia Na, a bizarre idea popped into her head. However, she suppressed it herself, realizing that thinking about such things from her perspective was meaningless, so she decided not to add to her troubles.

Thump, thump!

When Lin Yu walked up to a manhole cover, he suddenly stopped and bent down to knock on the cover as if knocking on a door.

"what's up?"

A rather cute little girl opened the manhole cover with one hand, her big, confused eyes curiously looking at Lin Yu and his group. However, when she saw that everyone was wearing bright and shiny new clothes, she instinctively shrank back.

Such a subconscious action caused Lin Yu a pang of pain in his heart. What an adorable little girl, living in such a sewer. Coupled with that small gesture, even a fool like Lin Yu could guess what kind of unpleasant experiences she had gone through.

"Little sister, don't be afraid. We're here to see the elder. Could you please call him for me?"

Although he felt sorry for her, Lin Yu still showed a warm smile. He didn't want to leave a bad impression on this cute little girl.

"Then please come inside."

The little girl sounded a bit nervous when she said this. Out of politeness, she didn't want the 'guests' to wait 'outside', but looking at their clothes, she was afraid that it would upset Lin Yu.

Lin Yu sighed inwardly, marveling at how well the old man, known as the elder, had managed to teach these children under such circumstances.

"Then trouble you."

Although he felt a pang of regret, Lin Yu's expression remained unchanged. Since he had the ability to change everything, he would naturally not allow these children to suffer any further harm; this was something he had decided long ago.

"Elder!"

The little girl shouted as she ran deeper into the sewer, while Lin Yu stood still and waited for the last girl, Hina, to come down before walking in himself.

The sewers were filled with an unpleasant smell, but fortunately, Japan's water conservancy projects were clearly not as perfunctory as those in China. After renovation, a large dry area was cleared out.

The orange candlelight stood out in the dark sewers. After turning a corner, Lin Yu finally saw the old man he had admired when he read the original novel, as well as the lovely girls with bloodshot eyes surrounding him. They were all abandoned children of the curse!

"Are you the elder?"

As Lin Yu sized up the kind-faced old man with glasses, the old man was also sizing him up. However, when he saw Xia Na next to Lin Yu, his smiling face suddenly turned into one of disbelief.

"Lady Shana?"

Well, the elder's slip of the tongue surprised not only Lin Yu, but also Shana herself and all the lolis in the sewers.

"Shana...sir?"

This title made Lin Yu's expression strange. The elder was over fifty years old, but Xia Na looked to be only ten years old. This huge age difference made the title seem even stranger.

"That's true, it's been ten years, and Lady Shana probably doesn't even remember it anymore."

The elder gave a wry smile and continued, "Ten years ago, when the Gastrea invaded, Lady Shana saved my life, but you may not remember it."

Ten years ago, although Lin Yu was the one who was constantly running around killing Gastrea, Shana would also help when she could. Perhaps she killed a Gastrea while passing by and ended up saving the elder's life.

There were so many similar experiences back then that Shana had long forgotten the old man in front of her, even though they had only met once. However, the elder who had been saved still clearly remembered the appearance of his savior. Ten years had passed and Shana's appearance had not changed at all, which was why the elder could recognize her at a glance.

[Kavanka's utter madness...]

164. Anger?

"I'm sorry, I really can't remember."
