I'm in Star Iron, and I draw power from the Inner World every week.

.....

The room of the underworld.

While Big Cat was laning against Aglaia, Su Yang came to laning against Huang Quan.

"Mei-nee."

"Shut up, I don't want to hear it."

Huang Quan quietly ate her peach, refusing to interact with Su Yang and silently scrolling through her phone.

She connected to the World Wide Web built by Aglaia and was browsing local websites.

[Death Knight support website.]

"Mei-nee, what are you looking at?"

"I just told you to shut up... I'm watching you now."

"I'll feel embarrassed."

"Tsk, you've been infinitely deified by the locals, and some even regard you as a new faith."

"That's a bit of an exaggeration; it's made me afraid to go to the market lately."

"..." Huang Quan didn't say anything more.

It's beyond just being a little exaggerated.

Given Su Yang's current popularity, if he were to run to the center of the city and shout that he wanted to rebel, it would probably cause quite a few problems.

It is dangerous for Aglaia, as a leader, to allow this problem to arise.

But this might also be a foreshadowing of her later public relationship with Su Yang.

"Mei-nee, can you tell me more about Onfaros?"

"No, we'll explore it ourselves gradually."

"If we can't talk about serious things, let's talk about something less serious."

"My dear little brother, I've told you to shut up so many times already. Do you need me to discipline you again?" Huang Quan frowned slightly.

"Mei-nee, I'm planning to tell Aglaia about our relationship."

"Tsk."

"After all, our relationship was put together temporarily, and I think it's time to be honest about it sooner or later."

"Then, if I'm not your sister, then what am I?" Huang Quan countered.

“…”

Now it was Su Yang's turn to fall silent.

"You once said that your affection for me was like that of family... and a unique kind of affection." Huang Quan nodded.

That's the truth.

"So, what role do you plan for me to play next?"

“…”

"Would you like to play the role of your teacher? Or your sister? Your girlfriend? Your fantasy object? Or perhaps you want to have all of the above at the same time?"

"Sister Mei, if I want them all, will you grant my wish?" Su Yang asked tentatively.

His feelings about the underworld cannot be explained by a single option.

"No, but since you've chosen to be honest, you should at least give me a corresponding answer."

“Even if you ask that, Mei is Mei, and you don’t need to play any role.”

"Hmm?" Huang Quan frowned slightly.

“I just want the fake identity to end here, and whatever happens after that, it will be real, and I will be happy about it.”

“…”

"Mei-nee, I like..."

Before Su Yang could finish speaking, Huang Quan grabbed Su Yang's mouth.

"Saying too much makes you seem cheap, and even if you did say it, I would only reject you, so don't bother."

After making the statement, Huang Quan slowly released Su Yang's mouth.

"Oh."

"Furthermore, have you ever considered that if you don't give me a reason, then I have no reason to stay by your side any longer?"

"...Mei-nee, why did you initially want to come with me?"

"I found what you said interesting."

"and after?"

"I feel that the situation here is very delicate, and witnessing my younger brother's growth seems like a good thing."

"I see. So Mei-nee has always genuinely treated me like a younger brother?"

"It is on this basis that I am able to tolerate some of your lewd behavior." Huang Quan's gaze shifted downwards.

Su Yang's crotch area exuded an undeniable presence.

Even she was somewhat surprised that Su Yang's super weapon hadn't collapsed yet.

"So, Mei-nee, didn't you develop any other feelings for me? Like, gradually being attracted to my charm or something?"

"..." Huang Quan stared at Su Yang with a blank expression.

She seemed to have said nothing, yet also seemed to have said everything.

"Ok."

Su Yang sighed in disappointment.

“If you want me to have other ideas about you, you need to at least gain my further approval,” Huang Quan suddenly added.

"Huh? I still have a chance?"

"I didn't say that."

"Sister Mei, are you secretly in love with me because you're comforting me like this?" Su Yang's face regained its confident smile.

"....." Huang Quan wanted to escape this world.

Admittedly, she added that she couldn't help but bring it up because she saw the disappointment on Su Yang's face.

However, Su Yang adjusted his state a little too quickly.

Just a moment ago I was feeling down, but then I suddenly regained that excessive confidence.

"Mei-nee, are you shy?"

"Tsk." Huang Quan gripped the longsword in his hand, seemingly ready to take Su Yang to the void space for special training at any moment.

"...Back to this, Mei-nee, do you want to become stronger?"

"Ok?"

"I recently discovered that I have mastered a new ability that seems to be effective in helping others raise their potential."

This was also the point that Su Yang was most curious about.

That is, whether his increased potential is effective for someone of Huang Quan's caliber.

It was definitely not that he wanted to do anything lewd to Huang Quan; it was part of the ability test.

"Are you suggesting that I'll become stronger if I do some lewd things with you?" Huang Quan crossed his arms.

"...Mei-nee, you really can't read minds?"

"I wish you could deny it," Huang Quan sighed.

"But it's also true that by doing those special things, I can raise the other person's potential."

“My dear brother, at least this is something you need to keep to yourself.”

"I want to be honest with Mei-nee."

"But if your abilities are real, and if you can truly improve me... then you should be able to foresee the consequences if this gets out, right?"

"I believe in Mei-nee."

“…”

"I absolutely did not have any lewd thoughts about Mei-nee."

"Your lies need more practice."

"Okay, I did have some lewd thoughts about Mei-nee, but it's also true that I wanted to test my ability improvement."

"...There's no need to be frank about this kind of thing."

Huang Quan once again felt a subtle urge to speak but couldn't.

She had every reason to believe that Su Yang had come a long way down the path of [pleasure].

Unfortunately, that funny guy never glanced at Su Yang.

"So, Mei-nee, would you like to give it a try?"

“My foolish brother, don’t forget that we will soon lose our connection.”

"After the capability test, we'll have a new relationship."

“…”

"Mei-nee, I like you."

"Ugh."

Huang Quan sighed, then moved some of Su Yang's equipment down to the ground.

"?"

Su Yang didn't even realize what was happening until the super weapon was ready.

The equipment drop was a bit sudden.

But Huang Quan's expression remained completely unchanged.

After exchanging a few seconds of eye contact with Su Yang, she looked at the super weapon again, her coldness remaining unchanged.

Then, Huang Quan met Su Yang's eyes again:

“You have been ‘honest’ with me many times, but even though you have gone this far, please forgive me for not having any complicated feelings.”

“…”

“My previous corrections to your behavior and thoughts were primarily out of a sense of duty to discipline you, not because I felt shy. If you misunderstood, then I apologize.”

Huang Quan's voice was as calm and undisturbed as her expressionless face.

“…”

"Even so, if you still have those ideas, then so be it."

"Mei-nee..."

“If you think I’m bluffing, then I can be frank with you. After all, this isn’t anything new to you.”

After saying that, Huang Quan began to move his hand to the front of his clothes.

"!"

Su Yang stepped forward and hugged Huang Quan tightly, interrupting her actions.

"?" Huang Quan was taken aback.

"Mei-nee, no matter what you do, it won't discourage me, nor can it change my feelings for you."
