"Ordinary people only have a three-day memory. Once we die in the dungeon, we'll be quickly forgotten by everyone except our parents. Reputation doesn't matter at all. If you really want to bully someone, junior..."
“That’s enough, senior, you don’t need to keep testing me.” Kiyono Makoto picked up a piece of wood and carefully placed it into the fire. He turned to look at Kasumigaoka Utaha. “What I need are teammates who can stand on their own, partners who can fight side by side, not servants, much less slaves.”
"I will not force my senior, nor will I use my position as captain to coerce anyone."
"So, senior, just be yourself."
"..."
Eyes facing each other.
Looking into the bright and clear eyes of the boy beside her, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a soft spot in her heart gently touched, and the corners of her pink lips turned up slightly:
"My junior is really cute."
Kiyono Makoto: "..."
What the heck is cute?
Your reaction is so strange!
"Junior, turn around, I need to change my clothes."
Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her chin, revealing a slender, snow-white neck, and said mercilessly:
"If you dare to peep, I'll write my junior's name into the next book, making him a perverted man who is cursed for voyeurism, and eventually transmigrates into a world full of [beep]."
Hey, what did you say that caused the censored words to appear?!
Kiyono Makoto silently turned around: "Is it too late to regret it now?"
"It's too late."
"..."
Soon, a rustling sound came from behind, but Kiyono Makoto's clothes were soaked and he was covered in cold air, so he naturally had no romantic thoughts.
A moment later.
“…Junior, I’m all better now.”
A slightly shy voice came from behind me.
Kiyono Makoto turned his head and saw that his senior had taken off her wet clothes and put on a blue and white sailor uniform. Her black pantyhose, which were her original body, were also taken off at this time, and her legs were snow-white, shining brightly in the firelight.
"These are spare clothes I bought from the store." Kasumigaoka Utaha covered her chest with her right hand, clasped her hands together, and turned them to the other side. In the firelight, her pretty face was slightly flushed. She closed one eye and looked over. "If you like them, junior, just beg me properly, and maybe I'll give them to you?"
Chapter 19 Senior Sister Zhuge
"Turn around quickly, I need to take off my clothes."
Kiyono Makoto remained expressionless, completely ignoring his senior's teasing.
It's obvious to anyone with their toes that the senior was clearly playing a prank. If you actually believed her, you'd probably immediately look at her like she was looking at kitchen waste.
"Tsk~ It seems that junior doesn't know how to cherish opportunities."
Kasumigaoka Utaha clicked her tongue softly and obediently turned around.
Compared to his senior's slow pace, Kiyono Makoto was quite quick, stripping off his wet clothes in no time and then changing into spare clothes.
"Senior, I'm dressed."
Kiyono Makoto breathed a sigh of relief.
With the fireplace warm and clothes dry, if happiness could be quantified, it would definitely be soaring.
"Junior, there's something wrong with this newspaper."
Kasumigaoka Utaha's voice suddenly rang out.
"How to say?"
"Look, this contains a record of a murder case..."
Kiyono Makoto looked down at the newspaper, and after clearly seeing the contents, quickly narrowed his eyes:
"The Yeti Murder Case?"
“It’s most likely related to the monster we encountered before.” Kasumigaoka Utaha stood up. “Junior, come and help me. Bring all the newspapers over.”
"receive."
"..."
A moment later.
Kiyono Makoto carried a thick stack of newspapers back to the fireplace.
"Leave the task of integrating information to me."
Kasumigaoka Utaha took the newspaper and began to scan it rapidly, reading ten lines at a glance.
"...I've finished reading it."
Kasumigaoka Utaha pursed her lips, which were slowly regaining color, and began to gather information while drying her hair with a towel:
"Raccoon Town is a remote rural town..."
Kiyono Makoto was speechless: "Don't give the town such a dangerous name, okay?"
"Nonsense, that's what the newspaper wrote the name for." Kasumigaoka Utaha rolled her eyes and continued her narration, "Ten years ago, a mysterious disappearance occurred in the town. A five-year-old girl mysteriously disappeared from her doorstep. Her family and the police searched everywhere, but they couldn't find her no matter what they did. It wasn't until winter ended and spring returned that the snowman in the town melted and they discovered that the missing little girl had been buried inside the snowman."
“It seems that the clue was given to us by the park…” Kiyono Makoto took out two chocolates from his storage backpack and handed one to Kasumigaoka Utaha, “Have something to eat to replenish your energy.”
"Thank you, junior."
Kasumigaoka Utaha softly said "Thank you," took the chocolate, and continued her narration.
“Raccoon Town is located in a remote area with long winters. Two whole months passed between the little girl’s disappearance and the discovery of her body. All the clues had disappeared without a trace. Since the murderer could not be found, the matter had to be left unresolved.”
"The following year, another mysterious disappearance occurred in the town, this time involving a seven-year-old boy."
"As expected, the missing boy was buried in the snowman."
"Two consecutive years of murders occurred, and the police conducted a thorough search of the entire town, but still could not find the killer."
"From then on, the legend of the terrifying snowman began to circulate in the town."
Upon hearing this, Kiyono Makoto seemed to understand something: "It feels like the plot of the movie 'It,' so the monsters in the dungeon are mysterious aliens?"
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, junior." Kasumigaoka Utaha's pink lips curled up slightly, "because a reversal soon followed."
"In the fifth year, the murderer was caught red-handed by the police."
"Huh? You caught him?"
"That's right, the murderer is Leon, a ten-year-old boy from the small town..."
"This name is even worse!"
"In short, the murderer suffered from polio and was unbalanced, making him seem completely incapable of committing a crime. Therefore, when the police were investigating the murderer a few years ago, they didn't consider him at all..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha put down the newspaper, crossed her left leg over her right, and the curve from her knee to her ankle was exceptionally beautiful. Since she wasn't wearing shoes yet, the girl's beautifully shaped feet gleamed, clearly of food quality.
"The main storyline of the dungeon has become clear... The murderer is a child who suffers from polio and is bullied and isolated by other children in the town, eventually turning to the dark side and seeking revenge."
Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms over her chest, her sailor uniform outlining her full curves, activating her Zhuge Liang form:
"Under the mysterious power of the park, the scene from the past has reappeared, transformed into an evil snowman, ready to attack us."
"The main objective of the park is to survive until dawn."
"Extreme cold weather is one danger, and the evil snowman is another."
“Passive defense is not safe. Perhaps we can find the opponent’s weakness and take the initiative to attack, or find something that the evil Yeti hates and use it to protect ourselves.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha continues her analysis:
“This house is probably quite special, not an ordinary wooden house. I suspect it may be the place where the murderer once lived. Otherwise, with such a large dungeon, it would be almost impossible for us to have any contact with the evil yeti.”
"Conversely, if the inference is correct, there must be hidden clues inside the house. Once found, we can uncover more of the truth."
The two of them only briefly looked around the house and did not conduct a thorough search, so they must have missed something.
"Junior, let's continue searching for clues after we finish eating." Kasumigaoka Utaha looked up at him, her wine-red eyes filled with determination. "No matter what, we must try our best to take the initiative."
Kiyono Makoto couldn't help but complain:
"No way, you can analyze so much from just a few newspapers? Could your surname be Sherlock Holmes?"
Click, click.
Kasumigaoka Utaha finished the chocolate in two bites, then clapped her hands:
"It's just a logical deduction; whether we can find important information is still unknown... Junior, let's take action."
Kiyono Makoto suddenly shook his head:
"It doesn't need to be that complicated."
"Huh?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head in confusion, looking at the pomegranate tree with a puzzled expression.
Kiyono Makoto lowered his voice: "There's something I forgot to tell my senior."
"what's up?"
"Actually, I have superpowers."
"Hmm~ A superpowered person?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her delicate eyebrows, looking down at him with disbelief in her eyes:
"This is an old-fashioned setting from the last century. If you, my junior, were to submit it for a newcomer award, I doubt you'd get a single reader."
After finding a way to get along, Kasumigaoka Utaha gradually revealed her sharp-tongued side:
"Besides, only people who have truly superpowered abilities would reveal their identity if they'd been kicked in the head by a giraffe, right?"
Kicked by a giraffe weighing over a ton, he went straight to see his great-grandmother without even having a chance to introduce himself!
"Yesterday, while I was working at the bookstore, I ran into Eriri, who came in to buy books. We then entered the beginner's trial dungeon together. To get a perfect clear, I need to gain Eriri's trust..."
Kiyono Makoto quietly recounted yesterday's novice trial process.
