Chapter 35: An Adorable Twin-Tail Has Descended Upon Me

“…”

Wuming was absolutely certain that what she was seeing wasn’t some giant smudge on the wall.

It was a real, honest-to-goodness, massive twin-tail right there on the wall!

To make sure she wasn’t hallucinating, Wuming turned her head to stare directly at it.

The moment their “eyes” met, she froze solid.

Why the hell is there a twin-tail in my room—!!?

I wanted a twin-tailed loli! Not this kind of twin-tail!!!

Wuming normally kept her room spotless precisely to prevent situations like this. 

No trash, no crumbs—nothing that could attract unwanted guests.

And yet, despite all her efforts, a little cockroach had still snuck in.

Probably just casually patrolling its “territory” out of boredom.

And if there was one twin-tail here… that meant there might be more lurking in every corner of the room, just waiting for her to let her guard down.

She could deal with the rest later. Right now, priority one was eliminating the one right in front of her!

The twin-tail staring her down gave Wuming an instant headache. 

She didn’t dare get anywhere near it—maintaining a safe distance.

A distance that would give her reaction time!

If it had been a tiny rice-grain-sized one, she wouldn’t have been scared at all. 

But this monster? It was the size of a whole finger!

And it could fly! That was the truly horrifying part!

Can you even imagine the terror of a twin-tail charging at you at full speed?!

(Southern friends, please avert your eyes. Let me explain our southern twin-tails to the northerners.)

They’re not afraid of people.

And they love to eat people.

“Damn cockroach…”

The embarrassment from wearing the bunny girl outfit had completely vanished. Right now, Wuming had only one thought: crush that twin-tail and drive it out of the house!

Her fear had completely overridden her shame!

But… how to kill it…

Wuming kept her eyes locked on it. The cockroach stayed perfectly still, as if it knew it was being watched.

“…”

Normally in a situation like this, Wuming would use the “division of labor” strategy: she would knock the roach down, and then Wuyi—her mighty cheese cat enforcer—would finish the job!

Gotta say, Wuyi was an absolute beast when it came to pest control!

But right now… that wasn’t an option.

Wuyi was still in the living room with Serena, and there was no way Wuming was stepping out of this room in a bunny girl outfit!

Which meant… this time, she had to handle the cockroach alone.

This was going to be the battle of the century.

No holding back—!!!

Wuming rushed to the bed, yanked open the drawer underneath, and revealed her secret stash of doujinshi—her most precious treasures that Serena could never be allowed to see!

If Serena ever found these, she’d burn them without a second thought.

Wuming grabbed the nearest volume, rolled it into a makeshift club, took aim at the cockroach, and prepared to deliver a killing blow!

Please hit—!

Go! Throw of justice!

“Take this—!!!”

She hurled the doujinshi with all her might.

And, as expected… whoosh—it slammed into the wall right beside the cockroach, missing by mere centimeters.

“…”

Eh—!!?

She missed?! 

She’d aimed so perfectly—how could she miss?!

Then she witnessed something straight out of a horror movie.

The startled cockroach bolted across the wall at lightning speed, scurrying from one surface to another, getting closer and closer until it finally stopped… directly above her head.

“…”

“…”

Wuming locked eyes with it. A terrible premonition surged through her mind!

Don’t tell me—!

(You dare throw shit at me, huh?!)

“Bro… Bro Qiang…”

Wuming’s voice trembled.

“Can we… talk this out?”

The next second, she saw the adorable twin-tail spread its wings and dive toward her in freefall.

Flap flap— (the sound of wings fluttering)

***

【This is the perfect opportunity. Nanako’s eyes are misty with anticipation as she waits for your next move.】

【“My first time… please be gentle…”】

Oooohhh—!

Here it comes, here it comes!!!

In the living room, Serena was practically vibrating with excitement, eagerly awaiting the climax of the story. Just as she was about to select 【Fulfill her expectations】—

“Eeeeeeeeeek—!!!!”

“Nooooooo—!!!”

A cute, piercing scream suddenly erupted from Wuming’s room. Serena whipped her head toward the door in alarm.

The next instant, she dropped the controller and sprinted to Wuming’s door. She tried to open it—locked.

She pounded frantically on the wood.

“Wuming! What’s wrong, Wuming?!?!”

“Eeeeeek—!!!” More screams from inside, interspersed with frantic fragments: “Bro Qiang, no!!!”

“Open the door, Wuming!!! What’s happening in there?!?!”

Serena hammered on the door. The worst-case scenario flashed through her mind: an intruder had climbed through the window into Wuming’s room.

No good—the door wouldn’t open from this side!

She’d have to force it!

Seeing no response and hearing Wuming’s continuous screams, Serena prepared to use her ability to smash the door down.

Sorry, Wuming!

Just as she was about to act, she heard frantic scrambling from the other side.

Click—!

The door flew open.

Serena caught a glimpse of Wuming in some bizarre outfit—before Wuming threw herself straight into her arms!

“Save—save me, Serena!”

“There’s a cockroach—!!!”

Wuming whimpered pitifully, clinging tight.

“…A cockroach???”

“Mhm!!!” Wuming nodded vigorously, still buried in Serena’s embrace.

“…”

Haaah—?

Hearing that all this panic was over a cockroach, Serena’s expression became one of pure speechlessness.

She’d seen plenty of cockroaches in her life and didn’t find them particularly scary. She never imagined Wuming—of all people—would be this terrified of one!

Then she spotted it.

The little culprit that had tried to “assault” Wuming was attempting to sneak out of the room, hoping to escape unnoticed while they were distracted!

“…”

You’re the one who scared Wuming this badly?!

Serena lifted her foot and stomped down hard—crunch. She ground her heel to make sure it was dead, then turned her gaze back to the trembling figure in her arms.

This was the closest they’d ever been.

Wuming was clinging to her, and the scent pouring off her was more intoxicating than ever.

Her neck was completely unguarded—right there in front of Serena’s fangs.

It was almost as if Wuming was tempting her on purpose.

In this state, if Serena wanted to… she could sink her teeth into Wuming’s neck at any moment.

And this was the first time Serena had ever seen Wuming so frightened. Even back when she’d rescued her, Wuming hadn’t shown this kind of fear.

“It’s okay now, Wuming. I killed the cockroach.”

“R-really?”

“Really.”

For some reason, Serena suddenly felt an urge. Almost on instinct, she reached up and gently placed her hand on Wuming’s head, stroking softly in an attempt to soothe her.

“It’s all over now, Wuming. You can let go.”

“…”

Only then did Wuming slowly release her grip and step back, standing properly in front of Serena once more.

“Th-thank you…”

Wuming awkwardly hid her hands behind her back, clearly embarrassed about her earlier state.

“Wuming… you…”

Only now, with Wuming standing straight, did Serena finally get a proper look at what she was wearing: the bunny girl outfit.

And that flushed face, those teary, glistening eyes…

“Where did you even get that outfit? And why are you… wearing it…?”

Serena stared at the unbelievably erotic sight before her. Wuming’s face turned an even deeper shade of red as she jerked her head to the side.

(She can never see me like this!)

She still remembered what she’d told herself earlier.

“………………”

The blush that had already claimed Wuming’s cheeks now spread like wildfire.

“Eeeeeeek—!!!”
