Chapter 121: Pink-Haired Bunny Bunny
"So, you two followed Officer Ch'en here without her knowing?"
Facing the straightforward Fiammetta, Hoshiguma was fine; she's always been easygoing. But a certain roast cat seemed to have her tail stepped on, immediately bristling and retorting:
"What nonsense! Who, who's following that pork intestine dragon without her knowing?! We're clearly, clearly..."
Swire got stuck, stammering and unable to come up with a good excuse.
"Official leave."
Hoshiguma whispered a reminder.
"Oh! Right! Exactly, official leave. As public servants of the L.G.D., what's wrong with taking a rare vacation to come play in Dossoles?"
She straightened her back again. Right, she hasn't done anything wrong, so why should she feel guilty?
"Official leave, I see. In that case, wouldn't it be more fun to invite Ch'en to join us all for some fun?"
Pozëmka showed an innocent smile, looking harmless.
"Uh, well..."
Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on Swire's forehead. Why is this gentle-smiling girl so difficult to deal with?
"Alright, Pozëmka, stop teasing Missy."
Hoshiguma could tell the girl was just joking and advised with a hand on her forehead.
If this continued, Missy might be pushed to "silence the witness."
"Mhm, no problem. Sorry, sorry, Swire sir~, just joking. We'll keep it a secret."
Pozëmka clasped her hands together, returning to her refined and well-behaved demeanor.
"Phew, that's good. I'll treat you to ice cream later, four scoops."
Swire hadn't had enough fun yet. If it ended abruptly now, she'd be very disappointed. For this, she even generously offered a treat as thanks.
"Thank you."
Hearing their conversation, Kevin couldn't help but shake his head. Pozëmka always says his personality has changed a lot.
But isn't she the same?
Her quiet, gentle self, in order to warm the ice block, has gradually developed a tendency towards liveliness. Change has always been mutual.
"Muttering something, Kevin? If you don't eat it soon, the ice cream will melt."
Hoshiguma and Swire, afraid of drawing Ch'en and Lin Yuxia's attention, went to find other better viewing spots after chatting with Fiammetta.
Seeing Kevin spacing out, with the sweet melted ice cream almost dripping onto his fingertips, Pozëmka couldn't help but remind him.
"Mhm."
He snapped back to reality, and a thin layer of frost reappeared on the nearly melted ice cream.
"So convenient."
"Hey, you two, you disappeared right after the competition ended. So you ran here..."
These two's flightiness is truly embarrassing. Ch'en looked helpless, but still, they helped both her and Lin Yuxia.
"As for the prize, let's consider it won by all four of us. We'll split the money evenly when we sell it. Pork intestine dragon, you have no objections, right?"
Lin Yuxia shook the pure gold statue; it should fetch a good price.
"No."
Ch'en shook her head without any hint of greed.
"Great, then thank you, Miss Lin and Officer Ch'en."
Pozëmka didn't refuse. After all, she contributed her share of effort!
Maybe ordinary teams would worry about unevenly splitting money, but these four people... their backgrounds are extremely complex.
A yakuza princess, the niece of a Lungmen administrator, a "nuclear-powered money printer" and his accessory...
Let's just say none of them are short on money, let alone turning against each other over such a small amount.
"Is this the Lungmen people's character? It's really... unique."
Ernesto was both amused and exasperated. In this city overflowing with material desires, suddenly these four people appear. How should he put it? He doesn't know if it's good or bad.
"Oh right, Miss Ch'en, about the team name, you might need to hurry. Registration closes tomorrow."
"Mhm. Pozëmka, Kevin, do you want to join us in this competition? Actually, what Lin Yuxia and I want to do isn't just for fun."
After Ernesto tactfully gave the four some space, Ch'en chose to be honest.
"What does that matter? As long as what Kevin and I want to do is just for fun! The Extreme Triathlon Grand Prix sounds so interesting!"
Her ears flapping like little cattail leaf fans, Fiammetta didn't mind what Ch'en Huichieh wanted to do or her ultimate goal. In the end, as long as Kevin and she could be happy, right?
"She's right."
The man expressed his agreement with Fiammetta's statement.
"So, what's our team name?"
Ch'en hesitated; she's also bad at naming things. Who bothers thinking about this stuff normally?
Mouse Courage Dragon Might? It's not bad, but that was for when it was just her and Lin Yuxia. Now with two more people added, it can't be used.
"Axe Gang? How about Righteous Hall?"
"Haha, that really puts you on the spot. With that name, are you planning to open a new branch in Dossoles? I hope Mr. Lin can stay calm when he hears this news."
Ch'en scoffed. How to put it? It's a very Yan-style local gang naming method.
"Hmph! Don't just laugh! Talking without action is fake skill! If you have the ability, you come up with one!"
Lin also realized her naming might indeed be too heavily influenced by her personal style, but she definitely couldn't admit it. Instead, she was more curious about what brilliant idea Ch'en Huichieh might have.
"How about just calling it Team Mouse Courage? Lin Yuxia, you be the captain."
"Ch'en Huichieh!!"
Within a few sentences, the two were at each other's throats again, looking like they were about to come to blows.
"Everyone, don't argue. It's just a team name."
Pozëmka quickly tried to mediate. The way these two bicker whenever they have a chance is truly both amusing and exasperating.
"Pozëmka, why don't you come up with one?"
"Right, you name it. Anyway, Ch'en Huichieh won't agree with whatever I come up with. Of course, the same goes for hers."
Bickering aside, Lin Yuxia could clearly recognize the nature of their relationship.
"Then... how about Pink-Haired Bunny Bunny?"
Pozëmka tentatively suggested, only to be met with Lin Yuxia and Ch'en Huichieh's stunned gazes.
Even Kevin looked over with surprise. The pressure from their combined stares made Fiammetta flustered, but she still tried to defend herself:
"Bunny bunnies are so cute. If you have better names, we can change it."
"..."
Other names?
...They really couldn't think of any.
——————
"Pink-Haired Bunny Bunny?! Miss Ch'en, are you really sure?"
Ernesto smiled wryly. He could already imagine the host's playful announcement when other teams got eliminated. This is just demoralizing for the losers!
No one can bear the shame of being eliminated by "Pink-Haired Bunny Bunny"!
"Uh... mhm! This one!"
Ch'en hesitated for a moment, then her eyes grew firm again as she confirmed.
"Alright. Your tastes are indeed... unique."
