"The conditions you proposed to that guy don't seem to be part of Wang Gaosi's plan... By the way, aren't you and him on the same side?"

On the way, Nata casually asked as he untied the white cloth strip wrapped around his left hand.

"Faction? Perhaps we're on the same side."

The little boy walked along, his hands behind his head, talking as he looked at the azure sky. Accustomed to darkness, he found it somewhat dazzling.

So, he reached out his slender, fair hand and shielded his eyes, only able to look directly at the sun through the gaps between his fingers.

"...Even knowing it would end in a bad end, I still couldn't help but do it."

The white cloth strips were untied one by one, revealing a hand that was almost completely healed. Nata, imitating the little boy, shielded his eyes from the sun with his hand and said dejectedly, "If I had known earlier that I was part of the evil faction that was going to cause a mass extinction... I would never have come here."

"Hmm, it seems like it's almost time. Let me think, what story should I tell today... The Little Mermaid, The Little Mermaid?... Or the Great Serpent?" Andersen looked down at his watch and pondered.

Nata's lips twitched: "...Hey, what did the aquatic products do wrong this time?"

……

Today, as always, I'm going to tell stories to the cursed children in the outer perimeter.

Thanks to Tina's shot, the Death Knight in the very center desperately raised that epic shield to defend himself, and miraculously survived in the end.

...But tragically, the epic shield was destroyed beyond repair, and he himself had been bedridden for four days and still hadn't regained his mobility, which is why An Tusheng and the other two were able to relax like this.

So leisurely, doing things that don't belong in the villain camp.

------

A riverside location in the Tokyo area.

Tina did not use the map module for navigation, but instead handed over the task of getting to the Holy Residence to Xia Shi.

So, in the current situation, Xia Shi is in control, holding her hand and strolling leisurely down the street.

Upon noticing the girl's fluffy silver hair and the white hospital gown she was wearing, Xia Shi quickly understood what was happening. He looked around frantically, searching for something, when suddenly his eyes lit up.

...Finally, taking advantage of her inattention, Xia Shi swiftly pulled Tina into a women's clothing store.

Actually, the weapon girl didn't care about appearance. Since Xia Shi insisted, she cooperated and stood still, letting Xia Shi dress her up like a doll.

After all that fuss, Xia Shi paid for the clothes and they left the women's clothing store. The lazy girl had been completely transformed into a pure and innocent schoolgirl-style outfit full of energy.

"Tina-chan, you're so cute..."

Xia Shi looked him up and down, and finally couldn't help but say something.

The girl, dressed entirely in white, turned around and noticed that Xia Shi had also changed into a familiar outfit… familiar because it was the same style as the sailor uniform she had chosen for herself, except that while hers was white, Xia Shi's was black.

"Hmm...why did you buy two items?"

Ugh, matching outfits! How could I possibly say that out loud? But Xia Shi was incredibly clever and instantly came up with a plan. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Because it's 30% off when you buy two!"

...

……

[I can only post one chapter today, and I won't explain that I deleted half of it and rewrote it ahhhhh... Anyway, I'll definitely make up for it tomorrow, if I can't, I'll do the women's clothing (pats my chest)]

[By the way... Nanxi told me I could change my pen name and asked if I wanted to (?°?°?)]

[Ta76's Unpredictable and Amazing Tactics]

Tina is a loli who is between a little girl and a teenage girl. She has already developed a fairly large bust and a slightly tall and shapely figure, making her more charming and attractive than the average ten-year-old loli.

However, seemingly because of her naturally orange-red eyes, the girl, though adorable, is still disliked due to her suspected status as a cursed child.

So, when the two passed by a large cosmetics store, Xia Shi pulled her inside again.

"Hey, what, what are you doing?"

"Go buy some colored contact lenses, because Tina's eye color is a bit inconvenient."

"Colored contact lenses are only sold in optical shops...?"

Natsumi was instantly embarrassed. Because when the Cursed Child unleashes their power, even colored contact lenses cannot conceal the crimson color, so Natsumi had only heard of it but had never actually bought one.

She naively thought that eye accessories should be sold in cosmetics stores: "Oh, is that so... then I'll go to an optician's."

"By the way, what colors does Tina-chan like most? Dark brown? Sky blue?"

"red."

"Red...no, it absolutely cannot be red!"

"Whatever you say."

Having received a response, Xia Shi looked at her clothes again and muttered to himself, "Then I'll decide for you, it'll be sky blue."

Fifteen minutes later.

The two girls who emerged from the glasses shop again showed no signs of being cursed except for their age. They looked more like two elementary school girls. Of course... even ignoring the universal truth that 'loli is justice,' their appearance and charm were exceptional even among junior and senior high school students.

Next, Xia Shi will lead the way as usual.

But it seemed that from the very beginning, she had no intention of leading the way properly. Even Tina, who had only briefly explored Tokyo, could tell that she was being led further and further astray... because Xia Shi had practically dragged her from the central hospital to the riverside on the edge of the city!

"Xia Shi, are we getting further and further away from the Holy Residence...?"

In the distance, Tina could see the ebb and flow of the river tide. This was already the edge of the city. Going straight ahead would definitely lead to being submerged, while turning left or right would only mean circling around the edge of the city.

"Because...because of traffic congestion in the city center."

Sure enough, the girls' IQs plummeted in xx, even the dolphin initiators with their super-high IQs were no exception. First of all, let's not even talk about the drastic population decline after the disaster, or whether there would be enough cars to cause traffic jams... Besides, what does traffic jams have to do with them walking?!

So what if there's a traffic jam? Tina didn't say anything and continued to let Xia Shi lead her on a leisurely stroll, enjoying the natural riverside scenery.

It feels pretty good to be relied on like this, Tina thought to herself.

Following Xia Shi, we turned right along the sidewalk, and the suddenly changing scene instantly evoked memories.

Together with the Cursed Children, they found Enju Aihara here, forging a friendship with her. They used an RPG to send off a biker gang, initially met with fear and misunderstanding from the other Cursed Children, but ultimately emerged from the shadows thanks to the redemption of Asako and Enju.

...No wonder the scene looked strangely familiar.

Hmm, is that the place surrounded by so many adults and children the same ice cream shop where we found Yeonju?

It seemed like some lively event was being held; the children's chatter created a rather festive atmosphere, and even the adults supervising them were all smiling broadly.

As Natsume led the girl past from one side, Natsume suddenly had a strange feeling: Tina's feet seemed to be glued to the ground, and he couldn't pull her at all.

Turning around, I saw a girl's sky-blue eyes burning with passion. She pushed through the crowd and stared intently at the items marked as [SR grade] displayed in front of the ice cream shop's counter—two ultra-luxurious fruit sundaes, each 0.35m in diameter!

Looking further up, the banner hanging on the store sign turned out to be for a shooting event: 【Warmly congratulate the completion of the first season of the 'Tenchu ​​Girl' anime! Event: Tenchu ​​Lucky Star!】

Just as Xia Shi was desperately trying to guess Tina's thoughts, she unexpectedly took the initiative and pulled her hand to squeeze into the crowd.

Standing in front of the shop was a smiling middle-aged man with a black mustache under his nose. He was the owner of the cold drink shop who had covered Yeon-joo with his clothes last time.

"Two little sisters, are you also here to participate in the Heavenly Punishment Lucky Star event?"

The middle-aged man took out two five-star crystal bracelets from the SSR-level display stand and tempted them, saying, "...The luckiest person can get the limited edition Heavenly Punishment Maiden bracelet. If the person wearing one bracelet is disloyal to the owner of the other bracelet or lies, the bracelet will break—this is the best treasure to witness friendship."

"The second luckiest person..." the shop owner said, pointing to the two enormous sundaes on the SR display stand, "will also receive two of our store's prized possessions, the 'Super Deluxe Fruit Sundaes'!"

The girl nudged Xia Shi, and following Tina's lead, Xia Shi nodded emphatically with an unprecedentedly serious expression: "We want to participate!"

Then, thinking he understood, Xia Shi secretly rejoiced and asked the girl in a low voice, "Tina-chan, the Heavenly Punishment Girl's bracelet must be... Ah—!"

Before she could finish speaking, she was suddenly tapped on the forehead. Chizu Natsuyo covered the spot in pain and looked at the girl with a wronged expression... only to see her pointing straight at the deluxe sundae on the SR booth.

"Tina-chan... do you want a sundae?"

"Ah."

The so-called "lucky star" game involves the owner of an ice cream shop setting up five replica small-caliber rifles and five targets in a small park opposite the shop for shooting. Since only children under the age of 14 are allowed to participate, hitting the target is considered "lucky."

Shooting? Isn't that their specialty? Just as Xia Shi was about to suggest taking all the first and second place shots, another voice came from behind the crowd.

"Wait, wait a minute, I want to...participate too..."

The extremely tired, listless voice, as if she might doze off at any moment, was perhaps too cute and alluring, for the crowd actually parted to make way for her.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a ten-year-old girl slowly riding a bicycle towards me in broad daylight, wearing a baggy bathrobe and oversized slippers.

His blond hair was messy, and he was yawning widely, rubbing his sleepy eyes as if he were half-awake, as if he were an insignificant character who did not need to be regarded as a threat.

After getting off the bus, the little girl saw Tina and was surprised. She drawled out her curiosity, "Eh... what a coincidence, are you here to participate in the competition too?"

"Correct."

She didn't seem like someone who was naturally outgoing. Xia Shiru shook the girl with concern and asked in a low voice, "Um, do you know her?"

“I know her. She helped me,” Tina replied softly.

The blonde girl opposite her raised her little hand to slap her mouth, then yawned and said sleepily, "I wish the competition was held in the middle of the night, right now... I'm so sleepy..."

The shop owner next door said, sweating, "Little sister, people need to sleep in the middle of the night."

“I know…” The blonde loli turned her lazy eyes to look at the big sundae on the SR booth, “It doesn’t matter at all… I just need to get second place.”

Girl Tina: “…………”
