"What??? You mean, the unevolved tough guy saved me?!" Cute Mita, unable to stand their bickering, couldn't help but forcefully change the subject…
Ultimately, this was the result.
"That's right." Cool Mita still smiled sweetly, unhurriedly adding, "Thanks to Alain, you were rescued. So, you should thank him properly."
"I… I…" Cute Mita nodded hesitantly.
Indeed, her friend, though a bit love-struck now, wasn't wrong. She had just woken up, and before the excitement of seeing her friend again had subsided, she realized… the reason for her safety must have been this player.
Cute Mita looked up slightly, her eyes still unevolved.
"Honestly, there's no need to say it," Alain noticed her gaze and said with a relaxed smile, "It was just a small favor."
After he finished speaking, he vaguely saw Cute Mita glare at him.
Cute Mita rubbed her temples.
Damn it! How should she thank him? Should she also join his harem? No way! It was fine to be a little domineering, but to become someone's concubine… then her idol career would be over! She might as well stay underground…
"Cough, cough…" Cute Mita coughed twice, then stated seriously, "Then, what reward do you want?"
"No need…" Alain had just started to speak when he saw her glare at him again.
…Is that even a question? You'll be scolded whether you're polite or not.
"Cute Mita, can you be a little more serious?" Cool Mita, unable to watch any longer, interjected, "Is that the attitude of someone giving thanks?"
"Eh?"
The twin-tailed girl looked at her in disbelief, "You, you… you're scolding me for a man?"
"What you said sounds so strange…" Cool Mita rubbed her forehead.
Alain, however, saw the two were about to argue and quickly intervened, "Alright, this really was just a small favor."
He wanted to rescue Cute Mita not just because she was a Mita. It was also because Cute Mita held information Alain wanted to know—what kind of information had she suddenly acquired that allowed her to avoid danger and advance without hesitation? Alain was very curious about this.
"Just tell me your goal and the basis for your journey."
"No, Alain." Cool Mita interjected at this moment, "These are all things you deserve; you only need to consider the [reward]."
"Hey, hey… you two…" Cute Mita scratched her head. Now, they had grown up and become her opposite… Grown-up women always had their tricks…
"I… understand." Seeing Cool Mita's unyielding demeanor, Alain was naturally touched by her desire to protect him from being taken advantage of.
But… was this attitude really appropriate for the friend she had always aimed to save? There was no need to say anything more now…
She rubbed her temples, a flash of inspiration striking her as she recalled what Cute Mita often said to him.
"I know what I want." He looked at Cute Mita.
The girl quickly stepped back two paces, hugging her arms, "You, what do you want…"
"I'll be your manager."
Clap!
Cool Mita clapped her hands, surprised and delighted by Alain's decision.
Yes… if Alain only asked Cute Mita for the role of manager, not only would the "thanks" be settled… but Cool Mita would also have more common topics with Alain! Simply brilliant!
"What?!" Cute Mita looked at their synchronized faces, "You, you want to be my manager? Why?!"
"Because, this is what I deserve," Alain said.
After the disappearance of the fake Cute Mita, Alain still felt a bit regretful about losing the title of manager. After all, it was quite interesting. It wasn't too late to get it back now.
"Hmph, my manager isn't that easy—"
"Cute Mita!"
The moment Cool Mita spoke, Cute Mita immediately gave in, "Ah, ah, I know, a manager is a manager! But—"
The twin-tailed girl extended a fingertip, "I'm going to set a probation period for you. If you don't pass the probation period…"
Cute Mita was about to say "dismiss," but she was met with Cool Mita's chilling gaze.
"Then, then just continue the probation…"
"Mm, alright." Alain didn't hesitate and agreed.
He actually had connections in the idol industry. Not to mention Mina's organizational and planning abilities, in his home—there was a real idol: Miluo.
The little princess had been a legitimate idol in the dream world for a long time; any questions about idols would definitely be answered by her.
"Miluo, is that okay?" he whispered into his headset.
"Of course, Sir Knight. Miluo is happy to help!" The little princess also agreed.
"Then… the reward and such can be put aside for now." Alain interrupted Cool Mita and Cute Mita's friendly chat, not out of interest, but out of necessity.
He wanted to know from Cute Mita…
"Anyway, we'll talk about these things later." He looked at Cute Mita, his expression serious, "Can you tell me, why did you come to this version?"
Cool Mita also cast an inquiring gaze at her friend.
Even when she was being affectionate with Alain just now, she hadn't forgotten… that she wanted to find Cute Mita, also to find an answer.
Seeing the intense gazes of the man and woman, Cute Mita's expression also became solemn.
"Mm… I also expected you all to ask this question." She sighed, looking at the mist-shrouded Forgotten Place, "My goal in coming here was to find my version, and Cute Mita's version and memories.
These are not wrong. I believe my goal has never changed, and even now, it remains the same."
Alain said softly, "Then, what basis do you have for this? If you don't know anything, and just foolishly go about it…"
"Of course, I'm not a fool." The girl shook her head, "I… saw.
I saw some things, and that's why I wanted to use them as leverage to force her to let go of our version!"
"[That person]…" Alain's mind immediately thought of the fake Cute Mita.
"She disguised herself as me, and she must have interacted with you all, right?"
The twin-tailed girl glanced at a blood-soaked patch of ground, and everything became clear in her eyes.
"I saw Monika—communicating and plotting with someone."
