She wore a pure, clean white dress. Aside from the slender waist tied with a cute bow, there were almost no adornments.
But... the girl's own beauty and figure were the best decoration for that dress.
The soft fabric lightly outlined the girl's tall and graceful lines.
Su Yuzu had seen Lyudmila's figure before.
The girl looked holy, but her curves were far more sinful and alluring than they appeared on the surface.
However... Lyudmila was overflowing with an aura so pure that one couldn't even arouse a single thought of defiling her.
Combined with her quiet, polite, fairy-like smile.
Even Su Yuzu didn't have any superfluous thoughts in her head.
To put it metaphorically... she was probably good-looking, but not 'useful.'
Like pure beauty, or perhaps art.
The little rabbit was completely different.
Saotome Yukina was overflowing with an aura of 'I'm easy to bully.'
A layer of clear mist always seemed to linger in those water-blue eyes, and the cute tips of her ears poking out from her hair were always flushed red.
Even if the little rabbit just looked at Su Yuzu.
It would cause an inexplicable impulse to rise in Su Yuzu's heart.
She wanted to bully the girl.
She wanted to reach out and ravage the girl's soft cheeks.
She wanted to watch her teary-eyed, begging for mercy, but... looking pitiful while clearly delighted in her heart.
Lyudmila lacked the kind of feedback for fantasy that the little rabbit offered.
Su Yuzu really couldn't imagine a girl like Lyudmila looking miserable in front of her.
The imagery felt too incongruous.
However—
Such a holy girl, so holy that one felt unbearable to even touch her.
If she were to show an expression as if she had been defiled, it would probably be tempting enough to drive even girls crazy in an instant.
Thinking of this, Su Yuzu looked at the 「Primary Combat Records」 in her data panel and suddenly started to feel restless.
To be safe during her breakthrough earlier, Su Yuzu had kept two Combat Records.
Moreover... hadn't she not yet 'Developed' the little rabbit today?
She hadn't 'Developed' Sister Mai either.
It was just one 「Combat Record」 after all.
If it was wasted, then it was wasted.
But... if used on Lyudmila, she would probably see a magnificent scene that would leave absolutely no regrets.
If she was lucky, this 「Combat Record」 would count as material consumption for cultivating Favorability, and she would have another sheep to shear...
Hmm... leeks to harvest...
A production girl to squeeze...
Anyway, that was the idea.
Lyudmila stood behind Saotome Yukina, her quiet golden eyes resting on Su Yuzu.
She didn't know why... clearly, there were two Third Sequence Espers with danger levels maxed out sitting opposite Su Yuzu. One of them, the girl with a similar appearance to Su Yuzu, was a Level 39 Mind Control User—quite dangerous.
The danger coefficient could be said to be maxed out.
But... Lyudmila always felt that Su Yuzu was a bit more dangerous.
"Su-senpai." The girl bowed gently and politely to Su Yuzu.
Su Yuzu looked at the blonde girl in front of her.
Different from the holy white lotus she had imagined, after seeing the girl's character art and feeling her temperament up close, Su Yuzu felt that Lyudmila was more like a pure white gardenia.
Those quiet golden eyes were like the stamens of a gardenia.
The girl's aura was serene, elegant, and beautiful.
It made people feel a sense of coldness, yet... strangely, it also made one's heart feel warm.
However... the little rabbit didn't care about all that.
After bowing to Sakura Mai and Soga Yura in turn, Saotome Yukina hugged Su Yuzu directly, as if acting spoiled and begging to be bullied.
Amidst the frantically twitching corners of Soga Yura's eyes.
Saotome Yukina hugged Su Yuzu's arm directly, embedding Su Yuzu's left arm deeply into her own embrace.
Soga Yura gritted her teeth watching this.
The chibi Soga Yura inside her heart seemed to have two lines of clear tears streaming down her face.
If it were her...
Steel plate?
Rasp?
She probably could only wrap her entire body around Yuzu, just like when they were children.
Smiling with pure brilliance, the little rabbit rubbed against Su Yuzu's arm, directly squeezing Su Yuzu to the seat closest to the edge of the street corner.
But... this had a tiny benefit.
Su Yuzu was now level with Soga Yura's position.
Originally, Su Yuzu was sitting opposite Sakura Mai, in the seat facing the street.
Now, as soon as Su Yuzu looked up, she could see Soga Yura's uneasy appearance as she pursed her lips.
Lyudmila, on the other hand, sat down unhurriedly opposite Sakura Mai.
Su Yuzu directly ordered two more crepes. "What flavor does Student Mira like?"
"Is the same as Yukina, strawberry cream crepes, okay?"
"Then thank you, Su-senpai." Lyudmila thanked Su Yuzu softly, and then... looking at the white flower branch that resembled a garter on Su Yuzu's thigh, Lyudmila suddenly froze.
She smelled a rather subtle scent on Su Yuzu.
The scent of a 「Holy Relic」.
And... it was the scent of a 「Holy Relic」 of a considerably high rank.
Su Yuzu noticed Lyudmila's gaze.
The flower branch she wore as a garter on her thigh was a branch of the Kirishika.
In other words—
That was the 「Holy Relic」 reward Su Yuzu had obtained from saving Kujou Katora previously—
「Godmother's Laurel」.
A 「Holy Relic」 capable of forcefully controlling everyone to kneel before the holder at any moment.
Acting on the thought that it would be strange not to use equipment she had.
Especially since it was a 「Holy Relic」... equipment that required the 「Holy Relic's」 acknowledgement. If a situation really arose, trying to equip it at the last minute would definitely be too late.
Su Yuzu had directly equipped 「Godmother's Laurel」.
The equipping process was excessively smooth.
Unlike the rumors where the user needed to gain the 「Holy Relic's」 acknowledgement, Su Yuzu felt that 「Godmother's Laurel」 was pitifully waiting for her permission.
She had merely tapped equip, and it appeared directly on her head.
However... Su Yuzu felt that wearing a white floral wreath on her head was weird.
It reminded her of a certain moving flowerpot.
Fortunately, 「Godmother's Laurel」 was very well-behaved and versatile.
Whether transforming into a necklace, bracelet, garter, anklet, or even a ring, it had no complaints.
The only thing she was unwilling to do was for Su Yuzu to take her off.
Mn—
Her.
The so-called 「Holy Relic」 was the crystallized thought of a deceased Sixth Sequence... or even Seventh Sequence Esper or Aberrant.
「Godmother's Laurel」 was the crystallized thought left behind by the former Seventh Sequence 「Seat of Evil」.
Although it had no consciousness.
Su Yuzu took it for granted to refer to it as 'her'.
Su Yuzu noticed Lyudmila's astonishment.
Saotome Yukina's gaze followed Su Yuzu's... and naturally caught the rare confusion in her roommate's eyes.
"Student Mira?" The little rabbit panicked.
A sense of crisis directly assaulted her heart.
T-T-This... could it be that Student Mira also took a fancy to her Senpai?
Eh.
Why did she say 'also'?
Lyudmila just stared straight at the garter on Su Yuzu's leg.
There could be no mistake.
That was... Lady Godmother's... Laurel?
