Mischievous Lolita in the Doll

Xia Ye was clearly not used to apologizing to others. Although she said she was sorry, her facial expression was very stiff.

"Huh? Yesterday?" Lux seemed not to understand what she was talking about and paused for a moment.

"Yes, I'm really sorry about yesterday, but that was a special case."

As she spoke, Xia Ye's face began to turn red. When she heard Mir say that not all teachers have professional ethics, she was already prepared to face an unreasonable and domineering scoundrel. But what was with this adorable, innocent teacher who only appeared in anime and novels? She was even more difficult to deal with! Her guilt was rising!

"But didn't Mill already ask for leave for you yesterday?" Lux bit her finger, pretending to think, as if trying to recall if she had remembered something wrong.

"Huh?"

Upon hearing Lux's answer, Xia Ye's expression gradually turned into disbelief. She simply couldn't believe that this awful guy beside her would voluntarily help someone else.

Turning his head towards Mil, Mil still had that half-dead expression.

“Yesterday, Little Mill even gave you two days off, saying you were very tired these past two days and wanted you to rest more.” Lux gave a bright smile.

I'm a little touched, what should I do? Turns out this guy can actually consider others, but...

Xia Ye walked up to Mir and forcefully grabbed his face, saying, "Why didn't you tell me!"

This guy's wickedness hasn't changed at all. He's been watching me anxiously from the sidelines, probably secretly laughing to himself for a long time! If I had known this would happen, I would have slept in a little longer today.

"You're so reliable, aren't you?" Mil replied incoherently, his face being pulled.

Upon hearing his answer, Xia Ye released Mir's face, and the face she had stretched so long snapped back with a "smack." To be fair, the doll's face was of really good quality; even after Xia Ye had pulled it so long, it didn't look deformed.

However, Xia Ye was no longer in the mood to bother Mir. At the time, she had assumed that Mir would not do anything for others and that he would agree to a favor and then forget about it the next day. That's why she didn't ask him to help her ask for leave. The other students in the class were not familiar with her, so she decided to skip class. In fact, Mir's act of asking for leave for her was quite touching.

"So, does that mean I can rest today?"

"Okay, but you have to be in the classroom on time at 7:30 tomorrow, or the teacher will be sad," Lux said without any harshness.

Xia Ye nodded to indicate that she understood. She couldn't understand why the school would let a teacher with such a personality be their homeroom teacher. Shouldn't a class with such problems be led by a more assertive teacher?

"By the way, teacher, we're holding a welcome party for Xia Ye. Would you like to come?"

"A welcome party..." Lux looked expectant after hearing Mill's words, but then her expression turned somber. "I really want to attend, but it seems there's been some trouble in the city that we teachers need to deal with."

Although some powerful figures reinforced the buildings in the city last night, the wind was simply too strong. Other areas were relatively unaffected, but the closer to the park, the more severe the damage. Although this powerful and strange wind did not leave much of a magical trace, the area it left behind was too wide. Now, the entire city of Ur can feel that ominous magical power. If left unchecked and allowed to dissipate, it might attract some monsters.

Hearing Lux's reply, Mill did not try to stop her.

"How pitiful! Well, you go ahead and do your thing, we'll have a great time!"

Upon hearing Mill's words, Lux clutched her ample chest as if she had been stabbed in the heart. Although she was extremely distressed, she forced a smile on the surface, a sight that Xia Ye, standing to the side, could not bear to watch any longer.

"Okay, please have fun with me too!"

After saying that, Lux left with a worried look on her face. After all, all her students had gone to have a nice party, but she, as their homeroom teacher, had to work overtime, which was really unpleasant.

After watching Lux leave, Xia Ye gave Mill a disdainful look. How could he have the nerve to bully such a cute teacher? There's no limit to how bad this guy can be. You know, teachers like this can only be found in anime and novels. It's really hard to find a teacher like this in real life.

Completely unaware that he had said something wrong, Mir was bewildered by Xia Ye's glare, but in his mind, he automatically categorized it as "strange behavior of a modern girl."

"Let's go, let's go to the city first to buy you some daily necessities. The party is scheduled for tonight, and I've already invited some people, all of whom you've met before, Xia Ye."

Had he already arranged to meet with some people? Did this guy anticipate that things would be resolved before today?

Xia Ye suddenly realized that she couldn't quite understand Mir anymore. This guy usually acted so neurotic, but he seemed to be the most useful one when dealing with Angela's matter. Could it be that this guy is actually a very smart person?

Xia Ye looked up at Mir's face, which still had that lifeless, fish-like expression.

As she stared at him, Mir's arms and waist shifted into an unnatural position. For some reason, Xia Ye had a hallucination of hearing "Auntie press down, press down."

"Staring at me like that, have you finally noticed my beauty?"

However, although this guy is strong and powerful, he doesn't have the physique of a pillar man at all, and his pose looks very out of place, making him look silly instead.

As for beauty... this guy only deserves the word "beauty" in his true form or when he's dressed as a doll.

Seeing Mir shake his head as usual, Xia Ye had a strange thought that "this guy is actually very smart." It seems that he may have damaged his brain by staying up all night before, and he should stay up less in the future.

Chapter Fifty-Nine: Bargaining (Part 1)

"Name?"

"My name is Mil Chiris, I'm 15 years old, and I live at..."

"Stop, stop, stop!!!" Elsa interrupted Mir's chanting with three "stop"s and three exclamation marks.

Does this scene seem familiar? Because this guy has been taken to the police station again. Xia Ye, sitting on a chair to the side, rubbed his temples helplessly.

"I ask, you answer!"

"What the hell?" Mil looked at the familiar face in front of him impatiently. "How many times has this program run? Don't you know my name?"

Upon hearing his words, Elsa angrily snapped the pen in her hand.

"Do you even know how many times you've come here?! Will you die if you don't cause trouble every day?!"

“You’ve misunderstood,” Mil said seriously. “I was just helping Xia Ye buy some things, and I haggled a bit when I bought them. How is that illegal?”

Hearing Mir's explanation, Elsa was almost unable to contain her temper.

The incident started like this—

As mentioned earlier, Mir was going to take Xia Ye to town to buy some daily necessities. After all, Xia Ye hadn't bought enough on her own before, at most only things like toothbrushes and towels, and didn't even have a CD to pass the time. So Mir decided to take her shopping himself to avoid being ripped off by unscrupulous merchants.

The streets of the town were bustling with activity, making the originally spacious streets feel crowded. The previous murder and strange wind incidents seemed to have had no effect on the people of the city at all.

"Go ahead and buy whatever you want, I can help you bargain," Mir said confidently to Xia Ye, patting his chest.

Xia Ye was somewhat skeptical of his words. Given his intelligence, he didn't seem like someone who would haggle, although haggling had nothing to do with intelligence... But this guy was, after all, a long-time resident of this other world, and he was definitely more experienced than her when it came to prices. Although she didn't want to admit it, Xia Ye was currently a complete naive girl, the kind who wouldn't even realize she was being ripped off.

The money that Mir helped her borrow from Carlo had only been spent a little. Mir had mentioned that future income would mainly come from accepting commissions during practical training, but practical training hadn't started yet, and Xia Ye didn't have any income for the time being, so it was best to be frugal.

I'd like to buy some CDs.

While it's true that saving money is important, it's best to prioritize entertainment for now. Back in the real world, she used to pass the time by reading books, but now that she's in another world, she can't understand the local language at all, so she can't just kill time by spacing out.

"understood!"

Mir gave her an OK sign and led her into a small alley.

When Xia Ye saw Mir lead her into a small alley, she frowned. Now, whenever she walked into an alley, she would think of the Angela incident. That guy's methods of killing were enough to leave a lifelong psychological shadow on the witnesses.

She didn't know why Mir had brought her to this place. It didn't look like a place where things were sold at all. If it weren't for taking a shortcut, probably no one would have come here.

She had assumed that Mir had led her here to take a shortcut, but to her surprise, Mir stopped in front of a suspicious-looking person in the alley.

That guy didn't look like a good person at all. He was wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a mask in the sweltering heat, and he was also wearing a black coat. His posture and demeanor were extremely sleazy. He was the kind of person that you could tell at a glance was not a good person.

Xia Ye, who had been scrutinizing the man, frowned her delicate eyebrows and looked at Mir with a puzzled expression.

Mil didn't speak; instead, it was the sleazy guy in front of him who spoke first.

"Hey friend, wanna get some discs?" The man reached into his coat. "I've got some really new stuff here, like uniforms [beep], cosplay [beep], you name it."

Hearing what that guy said, Xia Ye didn't react for a moment. However, influenced by online novels and movies, she quickly realized what kind of disc he was talking about. Her face turned red at a visible speed, and she grabbed Mir's arm and ran out of the alley with all her magic.

After running out of the alley, Xia Ye grabbed Mir's shoulder and yelled, "What kind of DVDs are you planning to recommend to me, you bastard?!"

At this moment, Mir was also completely dumbfounded. Before he could even speak, Xia Ye grabbed him and ran out.

"What? Didn't you want to buy the CDs?" Mil scratched his butt impatiently.

After hearing this, Xia Ye covered her face. She shouldn't have had any expectations of this guy's brain. However, she added another mark to her impression of him—filthy.

Mir was actually quite wronged. Carlo had told him in a very mysterious way that he could buy good DVDs here. He didn't understand the underlying meaning of Carlo's words and only thought that he could buy high-quality DVDs with interesting content. However, he hadn't finished watching the DVDs at home, so he hadn't come here. Then Xia Ye happened to say that she wanted to buy DVDs, so he brought her here.

"Listen up!! I don't like those things!! And don't recommend any weird stuff to me!!" Xia Ye roared through gritted teeth, completely ignoring the strange looks from the people around her.

What on earth is this bastard's brain made of? Recommending this kind of thing to a girl? Has this guy really sunk that low? No, this guy even collects little girls' shoes. Xia Ye's attitude towards him now goes beyond mere contempt.

"I understand, I understand."

Mir could tell that Xia Ye seemed very unhappy about him taking her to the alley earlier. Although he didn't understand why she was unhappy, he figured it would be better to take her to a shop in the main market.

"Honestly, you're being so picky about buying a CD..."

Because the street was too noisy, Xia Ye did not hear his whispered mutterings.

Mir led her to a rather spacious DVD store. Due to the underdeveloped state of the network in the other world, DVD stores, which were long obsolete in the real world, were thriving here. The environment inside looked similar to those large bookstores, and there were quite a few people standing there choosing their favorite discs.

"This is it, a place I often come to." Mir led Xia Ye into the shop.

A place you frequent? Then why did you take me to that kind of place just now? Were you deliberately messing with me?

Xia Ye glared at Mir with a displeased expression. Mir, feeling utterly bewildered, wondered what was wrong with this woman now. Women really are incomprehensible creatures...

With the sound of a bell, the two pushed open the door and entered the shop.

"welcome!"

Chapter Sixty: Bargaining (Part Two)

The "Welcome" wasn't spoken by a pleasant-sounding young woman, but by a middle-aged man who looked like a seasoned veteran of the underworld.

Mir raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the man on the platform. He remembered that a girl had been leading him here before.

"Who are you, sir? I remember there was a girl here before." This was Mil, asking as soon as he thought of her.

Hearing this, Xia Ye gave Mir a disdainful look. No wonder it was a shop he frequented; he was there to see girls. Thinking back to how this guy had taken her to an alley and tried to introduce her to those kinds of DVDs, Xia Ye couldn't help but wonder what the girl's relationship with Mir really was—friends with benefits?

“I am her relative, and she had to go out temporarily.”

The man pointed to a sign behind him that read "Agent Shop Owner".

"Oh." Mil pointed to the various CDs on the shelf and said to Xia Ye, "Take whatever you want, I'll help you bargain."

Upon hearing Mir's words, the middle-aged man seemed to curl his lip in disdain.

Young man, if you manage to get the price down from me, then my title of "Ultimate Anti-Bargaining Master" will be meaningless!

Xia Ye nodded to Mir and casually picked up a boxed CD from the shelf to examine its packaging.

...I can't understand the text above.

Xia Ye seemed a little embarrassed and turned to look at Mir.

"What's wrong?" Mil seemed not to have considered these questions.

"I can't read."
