Finally, we got clothes. I still can't believe it. Even though this is just a small milestone in my huge goals, it still feels so fucking good… ahh.
Anyway, now it's time to find an inn. In this world, they call hotels "inns," so yeah—we're trying to find one. But what's annoying is that ever since I got these clothes, people have really been staring.
Do they not know I'm, like, seven?
Honestly, no matter how many times I think about it, it's absolutely disgusting—getting stared down with those shitty eyes.
"Holy, she's so cute," someone whispered.
"Hey, someone go talk to her," another said.
"No way, she's only a kid. You can tell she's pretty short… but she looks so magnificent," someone else added.
Ugh… honestly, so annoying. But yeah, keep praising me, I guess.
Aurelia and Zerelia were just staring at me while I kept an expressionless face. Still… I had noticed something. Ever since I fought that guard and got auto-healed by the system, it felt like my body had been remade.
Not completely—but better.
I had more weight on me now, my body looked sharper. Everything felt… refined. Like every feature was enhanced—my curves, the way my hips moved, my thighs, my eyes, my hair… everything looked almost too perfect.
Like I was designed to stand out.
"Hey."
I ignored it.
"Hello, I'm talking to you."
A voice snapped me out of it. I looked up.
Some big guy was standing there. He looked like trouble, and his friends were behind him. Kinda reminded me of my old self… except I never went after girls like this—especially not kids.
…Wait.
Maybe this world doesn't care about age?
"Oh, sorry, I was thinking about something. What do you need?" I asked, putting on a childish tone.
"I need you," he replied.
…Huh?
Is this egg-headed bastard serious? That pickup line was absolute trash.
And do people here really not care about age?
"H-hey, sto—" Aurelia started, but one of his friends cut her off.
"HEY. My friend's talking. Show some respect," a skinny guy snapped.
Honestly… why do all these pricks look so ugly? Shouldn't they check themselves before trying to pick someone up?
"H-hey, g-guys… let's l-leave…" Zerelia stuttered, trying her best to speak up. She was probably trying to protect me.
"HUH? I'm not talking to you, pipsqueak," the egg-headed man snapped.
"Hey, don't be rude to them. And anyway, you know I'm seven, right? I really can't do anything," I replied.
I'll give him one chance to fuck off. If he doesn't take it… he kneels.
HAHAHAHA.
"It doesn't matter… as long as I have you," he said, stepping closer.
[Astral Dominance Lv.0 Activated]
HAHAH—KNEEL, YOU BAS—
…Huh?
"HEY, HURRY UP AND SPEAK! I CAN'T WAIT LONG!" he shouted, attracting attention.
"Ugh… my head hurts. Hurry up and come with me. I'll treat you nicely," he added.
Oh my fucking god.
This Lv.0 trash skill is working—but I'm too weak. All it's doing is giving him a slight headache instead of forcing him to kneel.
Shit.
Are we actually about to get kidnapped again?
I quickly grabbed Aurelia and Zerelia's hands, gripping them tightly. I'm in another body now, and I've already lost all dignity… might as well go all out and scream for help.
Who wouldn't help me? I'm literally a small, cute kid getting harassed.
…Okay, that was a super girly thought. Ahh, I'm actually losing it.
Alright.
3… 2… 1—
"Hey, what are you guys doing?"
…Huh?
A man stepped in, followed by a group behind him. He looked prepared.
Wait… an actual hero-type guy showed up?
HAH—I knew it. Of course they'd help me. I mean, I am cute.
…But what if they turn out the same?
Maybe we should run?
"Hey… should we run?" I whispered.
"I don't know… but if they save us, shouldn't we thank them?" Zerelia replied quietly.
"Yeah, I agree. They don't seem bad… and we can ask for directions after," Aurelia added.
Ha… these two are way too innocent.
People can switch up anytime. Put on masks. I know that better than anyone. But hey… nothing beats firsthand experience.
If they turn out bad, I'll just scream again. Easy.
"Hey, they clearly don't want you around. Can you leave?" the man said calmly.
"Who the fuck are you, bastard?" the egg-headed guy roared.
Is my Astral Dominance still active? Or did it stop?
…Whatever. It barely did anything anyway.
"I'm just trying to help them" the man replied.
"Yeah, leave," said the woman behind him.
"We don't want to make a scene," another added.
"Yup" the last one nodded.
