Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In-Chapter 899 - 446: The Arrival of Sisters, Ai Xue’s Duel, The Scorching Sun Falls from the Sky (4k)
During Wei’er’s moment of distraction, the text changed again.
[Note: Silly Cat Cat, what are you zoning out for? Hurry up and go find our trash Traveler! There will be a big reward for you once you’ve done so~♪ After all these troublesome matters are over, I might even create a religious sect, with the trash Traveler as our Pope, and you as our supreme Archbishop!~]
Wei’er: "..."
She somehow had the urge to hit someone.
In Luo Xi’s world, what was it called... painting a big pie?
Although she also wanted to find Luo Xi right away, even without this strange being urging her, she would still do her best to find him.
Also, that guy Luo Xi, who always daydreamed and said weird things, was it because he was conversing with the entity behind these texts?
[Note: That’s right! I am his boss! The true deity, part of the righteous pantheon, not an Evil God! Silly Cat Cat, you can’t be like Luo Xi the Trash Fish, always singing a different tune from me. Oh, and even if you want to eat ice cream, you won’t get any~]
"Fine, fine, fine."
Wei’er understood why Luo Xi always seemed impatient before.
And what is ice cream?
Does Luo Xi like to eat ice cream?
"What’s wrong, Sister Wei’er?"
Aina was beginning to wonder if she had done something wrong because of Wei’er’s blank stare.
"It’s nothing. Sister is going to find Luo Xi. Do you want to come with me?"
"Yes! Aina wants to go!" Aina nodded again and again.
These past two years without them, Aina felt like she was living like a zombie, locking herself in her room upstairs every day, curling up in a corner, as if she had reverted to the timid, fearful little girl she once was.
Sister Wei’er was the most important person in her life for the first half of it. After their mother disappeared, the years they relied on each other made her feel like she would never leave her sister.
Brother Luo Xi was the same. In just those one or two months of being together, she had already become utterly attached to the young man who had led her out of her narrow world.
To like is to like, with no reason necessary.
From then on, her little body and once cold heart were no longer cold.
"By the way, how long has it been?" Wei’er suddenly asked.
"A little over two years?"
Aina calculated with her fingers: "It seems to be about two years and two months."
"It’s already been two years..."
Wei’er turned to look at Liya and Grandma, who were chatting behind her.
"Mom, I’m leaving."
"Leaving? Where to? You just came back. Why don’t you rest here—"
"I’m going to bring him back."
Wei’er lifted her head to gaze at the twilight sky and said softly, "There’s someone who has gotten himself lost. It may be easy for him, but if I don’t bring him back, a lot of people will be sad."
Liya stepped in front of her own daughter, pulling her into her embrace, stroking her hair.
"Wei’er, you’ve grown up."
"Yeah."
"Also, you smell. If you’re going out, you should wash up first, right?"
"...Okay."
Liya smiled and said, "It’s not that Mom wants to keep you here, but a lot has happened during these years you were gone. Don’t be too surprised, okay,"
Dusk City.
After being brought back by Liya, Wei’er found this city, her hometown that she had never visited before, to be quite peculiar.
Spacious asphalt roads and modern cars? And the various shops along the street?
Wei’er felt like she might have come to the wrong place.
Weren’t these things only found in Luo Xi’s world?
People in the street-side shops were shouting to attract customers, and many oddly dressed individuals were running around.
"Selling the latest PS5 consoles, and also small generators that can be powered by Essence Crystals! Comes with a few free AAA game discs."
"The latest model BW Essence Power Car, with a top speed of 500 kilometers per hour, only five Essence Crystals down payment, and you can take it home!"
"Hiring a Cat-eared Girl as a Maid, monthly salary of three gold coins, plus a commission!"
The man recruiting glanced at the few passing by and, seeing her cat ears and tail, his eyes lit up as he scurried over.
"Miss Cat Lady, are you interested in working at our Beast-Eared Maid Café? I can offer you a salary of five gold coins a month!"
Wei’er: "?"
"Scram."
Liya spoke coldly.
The man looked up displeased: "You are... damn, the City Owner! Lord City Owner, I’m rolling out, rolling out right away."
He immediately turned and really rolled back into his shop.
"..."
Wei’er asked in confusion, "Mom, what’s going on here?"
"One-third of Dusk City is interconnected with Luo Xi’s world, where we can trade and exchange items, as well as technology. The items from that world can be used in this area, and the zone is still expanding."
Liya explained, "That world, they call this sort of thing... what was it... a Bi-World Economic Exchange Zone?"
Across the Pan Continent, dozens of cities large and small have established permanent connections with that world.
Initially, the items from the other world couldn’t be used when brought over, but as time passed, more and more items were able to be activated here, including their games.
Many nobles of Dusk City spend their days engrossed in them.
