Can--
This scene, which seems like something out of a movie, actually happened right now.
It was like a ray of light, illuminating my heart when I thought I had lost all hope.
However, at this moment, Aponia felt more worried than happy.
"you..."
Although Alicia was clearly no ordinary person, they were currently on a torture rack. At first, the surrounding 'spectators' might have been stunned and not moved, but once they came to their senses, they revealed hostile expressions.
Among them, the followers belonging to the Church of Apocalypse were particularly numerous; they had already taken up arms and were slowly approaching.
This development made Aponia want to persuade the girl who suddenly appeared to leave immediately. Although she was very touched that someone came to save her, she would feel guilty if she couldn't be saved and ended up getting herself involved.
and...
In any case, she didn't want anything to happen to the girl in front of her.
It might seem strange, but even though they didn't know each other's names, the moment Aponia saw her, she felt a sense of wonder—if anyone could truly save those pitiful people, it might be this girl she had never met before.
Before Aponia could even utter a word of dissuasion, the girl placed her slender index finger between her lips, blinked, smiled, and shook her head.
The tight, rough hemp ropes, showing no mercy, left numerous marks. However, under the influence of an unknown force, the ropes, which were bound so tightly to prevent the victim from escaping, spontaneously loosened. Aponia, falling from the torture rack, didn't even have time to utter a word before she cried out in surprise and landed in Alicia's arms in a princess carry—aponia's cheeks flushed instantly. Although she had a high tolerance for embarrassment, this was a first for her!
She rarely even sees similar scenes; she only sees them by chance on TV programs when she goes out.
"Hmm, it's surprisingly substantial."
The girl in pink sighed, subconsciously comparing herself to the chubby girl she had been holding earlier; she was much heavier... well, she was an adult female character after all.
But it's not a huge difference, maybe only... 5kg? Considering Aponia's height and build, she's doing a great job controlling it!
That plump feel was much more exciting than when Jiang Qiao touched [Alicea].
Hmm... it seems I can't keep thinking like this.
Sensing that Alicia was dissatisfied, Jiang smiled and dismissed the idea of the rather fat lady.
The scene of a girl holding an adult woman in her arms looked particularly strange. But after the girl’s sweet and playful words, “Hold on tight, we’re about to take off!” rang in Aponia’s ears, Miss Serenity, who was still somewhat confused, exclaimed in surprise.
With a light tap of the high heels belonging to the British, a powerful airflow spontaneously arose from beneath their feet, carrying the two of them into the sky.
The resulting immense air pressure knocked all the nearby Apocalypse Church members to the ground, causing them to fall into a coma.
A moment later, the pink-clad girl holding Aponia slowly descended from her high heels to the ground.
Miss SeSe, being held in someone's arms, finally felt the solid ground beneath her feet. Hmm... judging by her slightly trembling, pale thighs, she's clearly not used to the feeling of flying.
"...Are they dead?"
Some of the still-shaken Aponia asked not other questions, but rather those of the people present.
"How could that be? They were just stunned by the airflow. Uh... there might be some eardrum bleeding later? Anyway, they probably won't wake up for a while, but don't worry, someone will take care of them later."
"That's good."
Although there was no innocent person at the execution site, Aponia still showed a relieved expression after hearing the news.
That's just her personality—even after being treated unfairly, she thinks about how to persuade those people to go down the right path.
"Oh, right, the people from the sanatorium!"
"Don't worry, Phyllis has already rescued them."
Although the target was only Aponia, Jiang Qiao did not overlook the other people in the nursing home who had been captured like Aponia.
Unlike Aponia, the people in those sanatoriums were imprisoned in the church's dungeon before being dealt with—given that there wouldn't be many guards, and with the 'Self-Disciplined Self-Defense Crystal Flower' he gave her, the cat alone could rescue all the people in those sanatoriums.
After he finished speaking, Paddy's excited voice came from the other end of the crystal flower he carried with him:
"Sister Aili, we've led everyone out of the sanatorium!"
"Look~"
Although somewhat surprised and intrigued that a crystal flower could be used for communication, Aponia breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that the people at the sanatorium were alright, and then remarked with emotion:
“Phyllis...it’s that child.”
Although Paddo often avoided her, she still had a deep impression of this child who, despite her less-than-honorable methods, was very kind-hearted.
One of Aponia's biggest regrets is that she couldn't get the child into a sanatorium and bring him back on the right track.
"A beautiful girl and warrior from the Moth of Fire - Alicia. Those who are closer to me may call me 'Aili'. You can call me whatever you like."
The pink-clad girl, hands behind her back, shuffled along, her ample figure—quite voluptuous for a girl—and introduced herself with a beaming smile at extremely close range. The distance was so close that they could feel each other's heat and even faintly hear each other's beating hearts. Aponia's usually calm face flushed slightly, but the next moment, [Alicia] smiled and stepped back to the alley entrance, turning around and chuckling softly:
"As for what a Moth that chases the flame is, you'll have plenty of time to learn about it later. For now... I guess you'd rather go back to the sanatorium and see the people there, wouldn't you say?"
...
Alicia, who had a strange dream, slowly awoke from her drowsiness. With some difficulty, she opened her eyelids and was greeted by a huge, curtain-like garment that immediately attracted attention. This impressive figure made it even easier for others to notice her. However, through the gaps in her peripheral vision, the fat woman could still vaguely make out the face of the owner of the huge garment—an incredibly delicate, almost sacred, ascetic face with bright, deep blue eyes like still water and lips that looked incredibly alluring without any makeup.
"You finally woke up."
Just like her appearance, an incredibly gentle, ascetic voice rang in her ears. Lifting up from her soft, fair thighs, Alicia was still a little dazed and didn't understand the situation. She rubbed her eyes, her eyes full of confusion.
She remembered that she seemed to have met the superstar Eden, whom she had long wanted to see in person, preferably get close to, and make close friendships with other girls, in a paradise of the afterlife, and then she was drunk by him with a glass of wine.
How did Eden transform into such a busty, aloof beauty after waking up?
Of course, it's not that it's bad—Alicia actually has a good impression of this big-breasted older sister and even wants to strike up a conversation with her.
But Aponia's appearance was quite intimidating; she seemed gentle, yet there was a sense of dread that... if you got too close, something terrible might happen.
We don't know each other at all!
Facing the bewildered, flustered, and somewhat flustered woman who wanted to strike up a conversation but didn't know how to begin, Aponia smiled and said:
“I am Aponia, a friend of Eden. She has left for the time being.”
Because Alicia is a real consciousness, it is difficult for Aponia to figure out the true situation of the 'Aili Jiangqiao' in front of her without using certain special methods.
However, based on the other party's interaction with Eden, this Alicia doesn't seem to know them.
Of course, that doesn't matter—even if Alicia doesn't know them, it doesn't prevent Eden and Aponia from showing her kindness towards Alicia.
After all, Alicia is Alicia.
No matter how things change, this point has never changed.
As for Alicia's ignorance, they had no intention of exposing her, and were even happy to cooperate.
As long as Alicia is happy.
Why not just treat it as playing a game with Ellie?
"what..."
Alicia was somewhat disappointed upon hearing the news that Eden had left.
She was still planning to continue getting closer to this newly acquired, super famous beauty, and then quickly increase her affection level until she could clear the game.
In the end, he actually left... That seems pretty good!
Anyway, Eden's favorability has already been raised to a good start. As long as I'm still in this paradise of the past, I'll be able to keep raising it until it's maxed out!
And now-
Alicia's gaze slowly shifted to the nun in front of her, her eyes gradually shining.
Eden isn't here, doesn't that mean she can refresh her favorability rating?
This woman named Aponia is undoubtedly a stunning beauty no less than Eden!
It's a completely different track—a nun... Miss Fatty immediately thought of Seria, her mother from the orphanage when she was a child. Although there are still quite a few differences... But, Ellie, I love this type the most!
You wicked Jiang Qiao, watch me take another victory!
"Hmm~ My name is Jiang Qiao!"
The overweight young lady, overjoyed, instinctively began her opening line, cheerfully leaning closer to strike up a conversation, "Sister Aponia, you're so beautiful!"
—Tips for getting along with girls: Start by showering them with compliments!
This is based on my own experience, Ellie!
Just as the fat woman was feeling smug and planning to continue her attack to win over the nun in front of her, Aponia suddenly fell silent.
"..."
"Huh?...What's wrong?"
This situation completely baffled Alicia, who was somewhat flustered, but still tried to remain calm and asked in confusion.
This...this...this development is not right!
She wondered if any of her words would have led the plot to this point.
All I did was introduce myself and give a compliment, right?
Does this girl named Aponia not like being praised?
But I'm just telling the truth!
