"Was that monster chased away? That's great, it was really dangerous just now…"
Looking at Caelus rambling on, awkwardly trying to change the subject, Twilight inwardly rolled her eyes.
Of course it was chased away. It's just a public transport bus, doing its job. Is it appropriate to end its life just because you're on its route?
When needed, Twilight could be magnanimous and not fuss over various things, but now was the time to strike while the iron was hot. How could Twilight let this opportunity slip?
"Who is she?"
The third repetition of the question made cold sweat start to slide down Caelus's temples: "Uh, we're just friends… New friends, the kind we just met."
Caelus never thought he would one day feel such terrifying pressure from Twilight… Caelus didn't know if it was because of his guilty conscience or some other reason, but even though she was just standing there calmly looking at him, he felt his heart pounding.
Twilight, who usually had a gentle personality, was actually pressing the issue relentlessly this time… Caelus didn't think he had done anything excessive. He just chatted with Firefly a bit, went to some places together, and took some photos, but… After all, Twilight had the potential to become a yandere.
He was genuinely worried that Twilight would get jealous, turn dark, and directly punch Firefly into stardust.
Think, Caelus, quickly think of a way to divert Twilight's attention—Suddenly, Caelus's eyes lit up. He quickly walked to Twilight's side and praised her with surprise: "Twilight, this new dress of yours is really beautiful, it suits you perfectly!"
"This was a gift from March…"
Seeing Twilight lower her head and touch her skirt, Caelus rejoiced inwardly. As expected, Twilight was still easy to coax. If this continued, he should be able to make Twilight forget about Firefly soon!
"Next time let's go pick some out together, I want to give you some clothes as gifts too—"
"Caelus, shall I take you? I know a few clothing stores whose styles would particularly suit this young lady~"
Looking at Firefly approaching with a smile, seemingly unaware of any sense of crisis, Caelus's heart felt like it was about to break.
Good heavens, do you even know what the situation is right now? Don't think you can do whatever you want just because it's a dreamscape!
If you really anger Twilight, forget about her becoming an Emanator of Remembrance and beating you up in the dream, it's not impossible for her to transform into an Emanator of the Hunt and chase you down across billions of miles!
Caelus turned his head and frantically winked at Firefly behind Twilight's back. But the girl who had been so understanding just moments ago now seemed completely oblivious to his signals, still chatting with Twilight.
"Hello, my name is Firefly, I'm… currently considered a temporary actor for the Iris Family. You must be Miss Twilight, right? Caelus told me a lot about you—"
"Actor?"
Twilight's bright gaze fixed on Firefly. Faced with this gaze, Firefly hesitated for a moment before correcting herself: "Alright, actually, I'm a stowaway. Caelus helped me earlier when I was being pursued by the Hounds…"
"Firefly is a good girl, she even took me to find the information I wanted earlier." Caelus quickly stepped forward to persuade Twilight. "Her body is relatively weak, don't hurt her…"
Wow, big bro, you really dare to say that.
At this moment, Twilight couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for Caelus—if she were a real yandere, praising another girl in front of a yandere who liked him, it would be strange if she didn't slice Firefly into block of meat the moment those words came out…
But Caelus really hadn't experienced much good stuff. Firefly's acting was so clumsy, yet he didn't even notice. What 'weak body'… If Firefly activated her mech, Caelus probably wouldn't be her opponent even if he held a baseball bat in his mouth. Sigh, it was all her fault for usually taking such good care of him, leaving him severely lacking in awareness of the world's dangers.
Twilight just stared at Firefly emotionlessly until both she and Caelus started sweating profusely, then finally spoke slowly.
"Go, go!" Twilight waved her hand expressionlessly, making a sound like shooing away a squirrel. "Bad thing, get away from Caelus."
After all, with her insight, she could easily see through Firefly's strength and knew that this person was definitely not the frail maiden Caelus and she herself claimed to be… Not attacking directly was already considering the fact that the other party hadn't harmed Caelus. But tolerance ended here. For Caelus's safety, she naturally couldn't let this woman who deceived Caelus continue to stay by his side.
But Caelus didn't have Twilight's insight. He was now like Tang Sanzang being fooled by a demon spirit, completely unable to see Firefly's abnormality—or perhaps, although he sensed that Firefly might have some secrets, he didn't think they were a big problem.
Therefore, in his view, Twilight's behavior now had only one explanation—It's over, she really is jealous!
Caelus inwardly cried bitterness and quickly tried to comfort Twilight, but she still stood there staring at Firefly, showing no intention of backing down.
"Miss Twilight, I don't quite understand what you mean—"
"Don't come any closer."
Twilight ignored Firefly, threw out a final sentence, and directly grabbed Caelus's arm beside her. The next moment, the power belonging to Remembrance activated, and Twilight disappeared from the dreamscape with Caelus.
Killing was impossible. Really turning into a yandere and going on a killing spree, although it could farm a lot of energy from the Express crew, the favorability and expected gold coin income from the players would probably plummet.
She wouldn't do such a loss-making business.
…
[It's over, it's all over, Twilight has really turned into a yandere now]
[Will Firefly turn into Firefly-chan in a few days?]
[Fast forward to White Hair sister and Twilight fighting to the death on the rooftop for myself]
[Twilight: Caelus, the water's boiling, please turn it off]
[You guys are too extreme. Twilight is a standard gentle dog-type good wife, how could she possibly do such a thing? Firefly must be the problem. I think she might be the mastermind behind Penacony!]
[You know, if the mastermind really is my little girlfriend, that kind of development seems quite cool… I wouldn't mind accepting a wife like that sometime]
[Twilight has been spacing out a lot lately, the plot has hinted at it several times. Maybe it's a reminder that she's evolving into a yandere]
[Probably not. Twilight seems to like everyone in the Express crew. If she were really a yandere, March 7th and Himeko would probably have disappeared long ago]
[I feel like it's related to Twilight's illness. After all, this arc's plot has been about finding a cure for her.]
[The problem is they didn't find it in the end. Are they really going to kill my wife?!]
[Calm down, calm down! It's all just technical adjustments. We're not an 18+ game, how could they kill off the female lead!]
[Didn't this plot also mention that the Aeon of Abundance might be able to save Twilight? I bet the next map is definitely related to the Aeon of Abundance—Trust in Yaoshi, Love Yaoshi, Wait for Yaoshi!]
