127. You’re Screwed, Sis Can Fly~
“Don’t be sad, Senior Cythia. I’ve always been as lucky as a mascot, and everyone and everything around me will surely get better!”
“…” Cythia remained silent. She was feeling sad inside.
But she had lost her memory and felt she had forgotten some important things, making her sad for reasons unknown.
However, looking at the lively girl before her, she wasn’t sure if this loneliness and solitude had lessened. She actually found her quite noisy.
But Ruo Xiaoxi, following her around and sweetly calling her “Senior” every now and then, made Cythia not want to drive her away.
Ruo Xiaoxi followed behind Senior Cythia like a little attendant, pushing a small cart to collect the goods Cythia swept down from the shelves. Most of it seemed to be food.
But it was basically all canned goods. Bread and similar items had mostly expired and gone moldy.
And water. Water was also a very important resource, but there seemed to be a small stream outside the cottage, so it wasn’t needed.
“Senior Cythia, there seems to be a storage room over there. Should we check it out? Supermarkets usually store some goods in warehouses when they restock. Maybe there’ll be good stuff.”
It was a bit dark, with a chilling, eerie feeling that made one not want to approach.
Cythia looked up, nodded, and said, “Mmm, go ahead.”
However, just as Ruo Xiaoxi took a few steps forward, she turned her head and saw that Cythia hadn’t followed her. She was still standing in place, as if just letting her go check…
Ruo Xiaoxi was about to wait for her, when suddenly, she remembered the “rules” Little Radish had told her.
When exploring an unknown and dangerous place, someone had to go ahead to scout. Ruo Xiaoxi also had to do something, so… so Senior Cythia was also letting her go test it out first?
Although Cythia was just standing there, still thinking about what else was needed for the house.
And Little Radish was also annoyed that Ruo Xiaoxi’s chest was bigger than hers, so she deliberately said those things to scare her.
But the imaginative Ruo Xiaoxi’s face, standing still, began to turn pale.
She felt she might be a sacrifice. Generally, in this kind of scenario, those who go ahead to scout never end well. A wolfhound might suddenly appear and bite you, or something…
“What’s wrong? Aren’t you going?” Cythia looked up at Ruo Xiaoxi. She was still standing there. She didn’t know Ruo Xiaoxi was very timid and would only dare to go to the storage room if a senior was with her.
I’m doomed! Senior Cythia really is making me scout ahead!
Ruo Xiaoxi’s delicate body trembled. Just a moment ago, she was thinking about getting along well with Cythia and leaving this place with her. Now Cythia was betraying her, using her as a shield!
Waaah, waaaah… Could it be that the reason she finally took me in last night was also this? Because she saw I was somewhat useful.
And I thought my beauty had moved you!
“Um… Senior Cythia.” Ruo Xiaoxi turned her head, her eyes already glistening with tears, tiny teardrops clinging to the corners. “Do you think I’m still quite cute, um…”
Being eaten by a beast or being eaten by a big sister, it’s definitely better to be eaten by a big sister.
So, please don’t use me as a shield. This fragile little body can’t take many hits.
How can you bear to send such a cute me to my death?!
“Hmm? What’s wrong, Big Cutie? Did you find any enemies?” Little Radish, carrying a large pile of scavenged items, passed by.
Ruo Xiaoxi looked at Little Radish, her eyes sparkling with tears, casting a pleading gaze. “Senior Cythia is making me lead the way! Save me, Little Radish! Or maybe we shouldn’t go to the storage room after all?”
“Lead the way? Who would let you lead the way?” Little Radish’s tone held a hint of disdain.
Ruo Xiaoxi felt her lips twitch. Alright, then you go!
“Are we going to the storage room? Then let’s go.” Little Radish put her items in the car, then walked back. Cythia also walked forward with them.
Ruo Xiaoxi froze, asking hesitantly and at a loss, “Are we going together? Didn’t you say someone had to scout ahead? Otherwise, we’d all be wiped out…”
“Huh? Scout ahead?” Little Radish blinked, then suddenly burst out laughing. “You actually believed that?”
“What do you mean…?”
“Oh, I was just messing with you… Oh! Don’t grab my flower! It’s going to get pulled off! I was just kidding!” Little Radish covered her head, protecting the small flower that Ruo Xiaoxi, in her indignation, was shaking back and forth.
The three then entered the storage room to look around, but found nothing inside.
Ruo Xiaoxi had been scared for nothing.
After clearing out one supermarket, only a small amount of usable items remained. It would probably only last half a month before they ran out again, and they would have to drive to other supermarkets.
So, it was another round of flying, crashing, and shaking.
However, their luck wasn’t good. The second supermarket was empty. It seemed to have been cleared out long ago when people were still here. It was a wasted trip.
“Such bad luck…” Ruo Xiaoxi sighed. Suddenly, she saw a large fog bank at the intersection ahead.
The visibility was very low. Ahead, there was vaguely an intersection, and she could barely make out a sign, but the rest was completely enveloped in a white expanse, nothing visible.
“Hmm? Are there fogs like this spreading in the city?”
“Ah, Big Cutie, it’s best not to go near it!” Little Radish quickly pulled her back. This time, she was serious.
“There are often fogs like this in the city. It’s best to stay away when you encounter them. We also need to leave here quickly. If we get caught in the fog, we’ll lose our way.”
“I see… Then I’ll stay away.” Ruo Xiaoxi said, taking a few small steps back.
But following the fog, she looked up higher, seeing deeper into the ruined city. In the distance, there was a towering clock tower that reached into the clouds, like Big Ben, with a large clock face hanging high on the building.
Hmm… I don’t think I’ve seen it before. Is it because it’s too far away?
Ruo Xiaoxi remembered that when she was first teleported here, she seemed to be on the outskirts of the ruined city. Cythia had easily led her out of the city.
But they didn’t seem to have reached the deeper parts yet, and she didn’t know what it looked like inside. The circle of supermarkets Cythia had marked was also basically around the outside, with no preparations for going deeper.
This city… beyond this fog, there were even deeper and more dangerous places.
Ruo Xiaoxi remembered to turn on her camera. She first took a photo of the distant clock tower. The tall clock tower looked quite magnificent. Besides, if she got lost later, she might be able to use the photo to locate the clock tower and determine her direction.
At the same time, she also took a few photos of the ruins around them.
Such a ravaged ruin wasn’t beautiful, but… it was unforgettable.
Just then, Ruo Xiaoxi, focused on taking photos, suddenly heard the sound of beasts running closer, just like the wolfhounds that chased them yesterday! Oh no!
“Waaah! Senior Cythia, Little Radish! Help me!!” Ruo Xiaoxi’s face instantly turned pale. She cried out in panic, quickly moving closer to Cythia.
“Roar!” But the big wolfhound’s speed was clearly faster than hers. In a few steps, it was about to catch up and pounce on her!
Then Ruo Xiaoxi ran and ran…
Suddenly, her vampire wings unfolded, flapping and fluttering, and she flew into the air~~~
You’re screwed, sis can fly!
Hmm? When did I learn to fly?!
