NOVPUBAdele had imagined Kaiser’s home to be similar to Dorothy’s gloomy castle, or at least a Western-style building. This Eastern-style structure... was unexpected. But then Adele remembered the withered old man, Kaiser’s ancestor, a physical True Ancestor. She wondered if his physique and skills had reached the pinnacle. If it was him... it seemed reasonable for him to open a martial arts hall. After all, in this world’s setting, the West focused on magic, while the East had martial arts. So, it seemed quite normal for this True Ancestor, influenced by “martial arts and the Way,” to open such a place.
Shortly after Adele knocked, the door opened. Adele stepped back, seeing a girl in what looked like a “taekwondo uniform” sizing her up. Then, the girl said with surprise, “I didn’t expect you to come see Senior Sister.” It seemed she knew Adele’s identity.
“Senior... Sister? You mean Kaiser?”
The girl nodded. “If you want to see her, come in.” “But I’ll tell you in advance, before this, no matter who came to see her, she refused to see anyone.” “Let alone you... the femme fatale.”
“What’s with that description...” Adele shrank her neck helplessly.
“Isn’t it true? I don’t think Senior Sister Kaiser would lose to you.” Since Kaiser couldn’t have lost her points to Adele, she must have been tricked by this woman! The dojo junior sister’s logic was impeccable. Adele was a little annoyed. But from a certain perspective, she wasn’t wrong. To Kaiser, Adele was indeed a femme fatale, directly causing Dorothy’s rampage and her subsequent outcome.
“Just take me to her.”
“If Kaiser doesn’t want to see me, I’ll leave.” Adele said softly. The junior sister’s ponytail swayed in front of her, making Adele want to tug on it. She often exhibited a cat-like personality. One could say it was mischievous, or simply following her desires. Just like a cat seeing a bird, it would instantly become excited, chasing and pouncing. Fortunately, Adele still had a sense of reason and morality holding her back. Otherwise, she would have already... all the girls she set her eyes on, becoming a true “lady killer.” If she really did that, with her power as the Lewd Witch, she would probably become very strong, right? But if she only pursued strength itself, wouldn’t that “strength” become meaningless? Adele wouldn’t do such a foolish thing.
The dojo girl led Adele to a room on the second floor.
She knocked on the door to inform Kaiser that someone was there to see her. However, with Kaiser’s honed senses, she had probably already sensed their arrival through the slight vibrations of their footsteps long before Adele and the girl arrived.
The girl swallowed, visibly nervous about talking to Kaiser. But besides the nervousness, there was also a hint of other emotions. Concern, and care. Adele couldn’t help but notice. It seemed like Kaiser’s charm was quite potent. She didn’t need to do anything, just standing there with her over 1.8-meter tall figure, preferably with a melancholic look and an air of indifference, she was a cool and handsome older sister.
This type of woman was probably the favorite type of lesbians, except for straight girls. Even Adele had to admit that Kaiser’s appearance was very attractive, even to her. But it seemed few people dared, or wanted, to touch Kaiser’s heart. It seemed as if obtaining her outer shell was all that mattered, the rest irrelevant.
She didn’t know whether this was tragic or not for Kaiser. If Kaiser had a playboy personality, like True Ancestor Snyder, she could probably live a very “happy” and fulfilling life, partying every day. After all, physical Bloodkin had great stamina. But Kaiser’s personality... was too stubborn.
“Senior Sister, that... Adele is here to see you.”
“...” There was no response from inside.
The dojo girl breathed a sigh of relief. She could feel the charm of this girl named Adele. Not only could she not compete with it, but Adele’s achievements were also brilliant. Even the true Bloodkin Princess was infatuated with her. It was said that the Ice Queen, Miss Hermione, also... Otherwise, it couldn’t be explained why Adele was living in Hermione’s family’s residence. So, she was worried that even Senior Sister Kaiser would... If that was the case, it would be too enviable.
Fortunately, Kaiser remained silent. So, the girl could put on a calm smile and turn to Adele. “I told you Senior Sister Kaiser wouldn’t see anyone.” “I’m sorry, Miss Adele, I’m afraid I have to ask you to leave.”
Adele ignored her words. She just took a step forward, extended her slender hand, and curled her fingers into a loose fist. Then—knock, knock. She knocked on the door. “Kaiser, I want to see you.” Just six simple words. The girl’s tone was casual, but the determination behind it was palpable. It was the momentum of “because I want to do it, so I’ll do it.” As if she would regret it if she didn’t say it. Straightforward and heartfelt. It was like two tsundere characters torturing each other, then one suddenly turning around and saying “I like you” with a direct gaze. Instantly ending the game.
“What are you talking about? I told you Senior Sister Kaiser doesn’t want to see—!” The dojo girl with the ponytail was interrupted by the suddenly opening door. The girl’s heart felt like it had been frozen by a cold wind. Until now, even Senior Sister Wen Xi, who was close to Kaiser, hadn’t received any response from Kaiser. It wasn’t that Kaiser didn’t want to see anyone. It was just that the person she wanted to see... hadn’t come. But now, she had come. So, whether it was them or herself, they were all superfluous.
The dojo girl looked at Adele one last time, then silently left. She would leave the rest of the time for Senior Sister Kaiser and Adele. In any case, she still hoped Senior Sister Kaiser could come out of the shadows soon. One loss wasn’t a big deal.
Adele didn’t pay attention to the girl’s thoughts. She just breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Kaiser still gave her face and opened the door. Otherwise, she would have been embarrassed. Also, her emotions fluctuated unusually. Because she thought... Kaiser had already rejected so many people, including her former friends, her relatives, and even her little junior sister who had a crush on her. They all ended in failure. Only she had successfully made Kaiser open the door. This special treatment was enough to make the girl’s heart feel as sweet as honey. It was the sweetness of someone she wasn’t very familiar with. But perhaps after today, they would become more familiar?
Adele also cared about Kaiser’s appearance. But just appearance wasn’t enough to move her. The time Adele and Kaiser spent in the Blood Secret Realm, however, was enough to be a catalyst for certain feelings. The fact that Adele had been worried about Kaiser ever since she heard about her seclusion proved this. Of course, it might also be because ninety percent... of the reason for Kaiser’s seclusion was because of her! She should comfort her a little. The girl thought this as she slowly stepped into the darkness behind the door.
The door clicked shut. Adele’s breathing quickened, and she hugged herself, complaining, “Don’t be so creepy... idiot.”
But with her good eyesight and the light filtering through the curtains, Adele could still see the entire room. First, it was certain that this wasn’t Kaiser’s bedroom. It should be a training room?
There was a lot of equipment Adele couldn’t name, a separate bathroom, a sofa big enough for one person to lie down on, and even a game console. Adele instantly imagined Kaiser sitting alone in front of a large screen, holding a controller and playing a fighting game.
Wasn’t this someone who seemed like an extrovert on the outside, but was actually more of an otaku at heart! Outwardly lively, inwardly lonely. So, she was too stubborn about certain things, trapped in her own world. And her inability to refuse others also brought her a lot of unwanted romantic attention.
But Kaiser should be the type of person who would be shy about intimate contact with girls, right?
Because in the Secret Realm, when Kaiser hugged Adele, her heartbeat was very fast, her breathing rapid. She couldn’t be a veteran. In comparison, the seemingly innocent Adele was the true heartbreaker.
Adele’s gaze continued to shift, finally finding Kaiser in a corner by the window. She wasn’t like those soft girls who would hug their knees and cry when they were feeling down. Kaiser was just leaning against the wall, relaxed, one leg crossed, the other knee raised, her arm resting on it listlessly. She wasn’t a lady, and she didn’t wear skirts. So, she didn’t have the usual worry about showing her underwear in this posture.
Adele took a few steps closer, trying to see the obscure expression on Kaiser’s face, to see her messy, medium-length blue hair. But what she finally saw were a pair of cold eyes like moonlight, devoid of their usual sharpness, just staring blankly at the girl who had entered her territory. But even if it was her territory, she probably didn’t care about protecting this meaningless dignity anymore, right? Whether it was being invaded by her own kind, being hunted, or like Adele... “prey,” seemingly unaware of the danger, approaching her, Kaiser didn’t care anymore.
Hesitantly, Adele called out the girl’s name, her voice tinged with worry. “...Kaiser?”
“...” Silence wasn’t a good way to communicate. But Kaiser seemed unable to do anything. Adele shook her head, becoming a little bolder, and continued to approach Kaiser. Kaiser shifted slightly, as if making space for Adele. And with her tall figure, even a small space was enough for Adele to sit down. But this didn’t mean she was showing closeness to Adele. Rather, she was currently in an extremely numb state. No matter what Adele wanted to do to her, she wouldn’t refuse. But at the same time, she wouldn’t care.
Come close to me if you want. Comfort me if you want, but I won’t listen. I’m hopeless. I’ll only make you regret it.
The aura Kaiser exuded was close to this. Gloomy, having lost the ability to communicate. Her pupils were unfocused, as if perpetually lost in a daze. Indeed, after realizing that she would never be Dorothy’s opponent again, all the effort she had put in for the past decade or so had become meaningless, like bubbles. Even her life, at that moment, had completely lost its meaning. If no one gave her life new meaning, Kaiser would be completely ruined, completely depraved.
What kind of person would she become in the future? No one knew. But it would definitely be someone bad. Either indulging in pleasures, no longer caring about anything meaningful, squandering her body, her mind and spirit wandering between virtual and reality, possibly ending up like a “transformation,” toyed with and then abandoned by the women who coveted her body, because that was the only way Kaiser could feel her existence had meaning. Or going to the extreme, a path that would lead to death. But the former path was just like living dead.
In a short moment, Adele thought a lot. She also thought of the high-spirited girl from before, the girl who, even when facing a strong enemy, didn’t show discouragement or retreat, but rather fervent excitement. Although at that time, Adele had called her an “idiot” in her heart, she was actually quite attracted to a woman like Kaiser. The more dominant the woman, the more interesting it was to conquer her. But now... Kaiser seemed to have lost that alluring charm. But Adele still didn’t want to give up on her. The girl wanted to give Kaiser’s life “new meaning.”
She didn’t sit next to Kaiser, but stood in front of her. The petite girl looked down at Kaiser, who was much taller than her even when slouching. It was unknown what emotions Adele’s eyes held because Kaiser instinctively lowered her head. So, she still had a last shred of shame, not wanting to face Adele, who seemed to still hold a glimmer of hope for her. But Adele held her breath, slowly bending down, and finally sat on Kaiser’s lap, her slender fingers lifting Kaiser’s unresisting chin, making her look at Adele. To see if she was still the same Adele who had momentarily moved Kaiser’s heart in the Secret Realm.
“Actually, at that moment, you wanted to kiss me, right?”
“...” Kaiser parted her lips slightly, at a loss. But Adele’s words made a ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) passionate desire gradually surface in Kaiser’s chaotic mind. When she held the drowning Adele and broke the surface, the girl’s lips were rosy, covered with dew. At that moment, she really wanted to kiss them, to taste the girl. Nothing else mattered, just the admiration and affection between girls.
So, this was the meaning. Enough to build a small sand dune on the collapsed ruins of her “life.” It was actually very simple. What you wanted, I’ll give you. Although it was just a kiss, at this moment, it was more precious than anything else to Kaiser.
Adele didn’t wait for Kaiser’s response. She just kissed those dry but soft lips passionately, her arms around Kaiser’s neck, her lower abdomen pressed against Kaiser’s firm abs, feeling her trembling, savoring her shyness. But her eyes remained rational. Because this wasn’t purely from the heart. It was more like an exchange. Because she had given Kaiser what she wanted, Kaiser should also repay Adele with what she wanted. And the difference between what was given and what was received might be tenfold, a hundredfold... Because on a bad girl’s scale, there was never any such thing as fairness.
The long kiss ended. Adele’s breathing was erratic, her face flushed. Kaiser wasn’t much better. Probably no one could imagine that “Kaiser’s” face would one day show such a moving blush. And Adele whispered playfully in her ear, “Hey, Boss.”
“Ready to be my little sister~?”
