Chapter 858: Go on, try that again!

A howling gale swept across the crowded street. Everyone along it seemed frozen in place, staring stiffly at the public groping scene in stunned silence. You could have heard a pin drop.

The wind whipped past.

Sir Aiwen stood there with a stunned (꒪Д꒪) expression, as motionless as a statue. The fruit in his hand slipped free, rolled off his palm, and dropped to the ground.

Only Lynn stood there, looking (((;꒪ꈊ꒪;))).

Without moving.

A breeze stirred.

As if no one had ever expected this to happen, the entire street seemed to have been struck by a paralysis spell. Not a soul dared make a sound.

“Um...”

Lynn swallowed, instinctively adjusted his Monocle, then widened his eyes and waved.

“Hi?”

The next moment, everyone on the street was so shocked their livers trembled.

Who was this guy?!

In broad daylight, under the open sky, what kind of fearless man would do such a thing?!

Didn’t he know that the person standing before him was the Colossus, one of the five Roots of Nightfall City?!

(ΩДΩ)!!

The whole crowd erupted in shock.

“Whose lieutenant is this?! How can he be so bold?!”

“God!! Oh my god!”

“Who is this guy? He’s casually done something none of us could!”

This was absolutely not something they had expected. In fact, when the Colossus Girl and their Sir Aiwen had appeared here, everyone had been watching, more or less. They were naturally very familiar with Sir Aiwen, but the beautiful girl, the only one of the Roots to visit Nightfall City this time, had also drawn the attention of countless beings.

After all, for most humanoid creatures,

a terrifying Root with an enormous head was hardly easy on the eyes. Only this silver-haired girl could make people brave their fear just to sneak a few more glances.

And that was nothing compared to

the fact that, after learning she might be the incarnation of the Colossus that had leapt up from Cursed City and tried to charge into hell, every creature here had felt both reverent and apprehensive, while also admiring and envying her.

After all, in the ugly, terrifying depths of hell,

a Root this powerful, yet so beautiful and pure, could certainly make the hearts of many denizens of hell flutter.

And now,

such a powerful, aloof Root Girl had been groped in public by a naked thug.

Everyone was stunned.

What a fearless man!

How could he dare?!

Sir Aiwen’s gaze was visibly blank and rigid. “Lynn... can you tell me what you’re doing...”

Lynn stared at the Colossus’s Brain, who was still standing there calmly, though a hint of murderous intent had appeared in her eyes. He slowly shuffled backward, using every ounce of his strength to try to pull his left hand back.

Everyone trembled.

What kind of absolute madman could pull off something like this?

This was too much!

Way too much!

Sir Aiwen stood there blankly, stiffly saying, “Lynn... We may all know you very well, and be very tolerant of you, so even when you go streaking again without wearing any clothes, we don’t say anything... but doing this right in the middle of the street... is that really okay...”

Lynn widened his eyes. “Sir Aiwen, you may have misunderstood. I wasn’t trying to grope her. This left hand of mine did it. It has absolutely nothing to do with me. It dragged me all the way here, so I’m innocent too.”

All the bystanders around them were shocked.

You can do that...?

That actually works?!

So people really can use an excuse like that?!

I’ve learned something today!

Hearing Lynn’s words, the Colossus’s Brain, who had already clenched her fists and shut her eyes, ready to tear Lynn limb from limb, froze. Her murderous intent subsided, and she instinctively opened her eyes to look at Lynn’s left hand, which was pressed against her chest.

“Queen?”

She immediately changed her tone and asked softly, curiously.

Zuo Zuo, clinging to the Colossus’s Brain’s chest, raised her hand and cried in utter grievance:

“I don’t want to be with that bastard anymore. Brain, take me in! I’ll come home with you and be your Queen again. Boohoo.”

In an instant,

the aloof, composed silver-haired girl’s eyes lit up.

Even Sir Aiwen looked shocked. Apparently, he had never seen her make an expression like that before.

Whoosh!

Lynn’s arm was yanked so hard he stumbled. The Colossus’s Brain gathered Zuo Zuo against her chest and blinked at her joyfully.

“Have you finally come around?”

Her tone was light and cheerful, like a young girl’s.

Zuo Zuo gave Lynn, who was looking exasperated across from her, a resentful glance, then burrowed further into the silver-haired girl’s chest.

“That’s right! I’ve come around! I don’t like that guy at all anymore! You’re my Brain, not him!”

As she spoke,

she plunged into the silver-haired girl’s embrace again as if to get back at Lynn. Like a little girl who had been wronged, she whimpered and sobbed.

“Boohoo!”

Everyone stared, dumbfounded (꒪Д꒪).

Sir Aiwen was also staring blankly at the scene. He did know about the incredibly unusual relationship between the three of them, but even so, this situation left him more and more bewildered.

His head was a mess! His head was a mess!

He needed a moment to sort this out!

What kind of bizarre love triangle was this?!

Seeing his own left hand hiding in the Colossus’s Brain’s arms and sobbing, Lynn, who had been dragged all the way here, was furious. Still, he angrily scolded her:

“Zuo Zuo, what you’re saying is completely unreasonable!”

“You’re my left hand!”

“How can you do something as awful as throwing yourself into someone else’s arms? Get back here, right now! Or I’ll have to use force!”

Zuo Zuo immediately (▼_▼#) clung on tighter and snuggled further inside.

【Ding! Your Happiness +!】

“Damn it!”

Lynn pointed at Zuo Zuo, furious and frustrated. “You rotten left hand! Are you coming over here or not?! Go on, try hiding even further inside!”

Zuo Zuo (〃＞_＜) burrowed in even deeper.

【Ding! Your Happiness +2】

Lynn was completely enraged!!

Lynn pointed at her and roared, “Don’t think I’m really that nice! Go on, try burrowing in even further!”

Zuo Zuo (〃＞_＜) said, “I’ll try it, then! What can you do about it, useless rotten Brain!”

“Go on, try that again! (*´ﾉ_`)”

“So what?! (〝▼_▼)”

“Then what?! o(≧O≦)o!”

Sure, your left hand might have a mind of its own, but isn’t it still your hand?
