Chapter 91

And Liuying, beside Stelle, grew somewhat uneasy.

【What are you trying to say?】

Stelle crossed her arms and asked impatiently.

She hadn't delivered that final punch to Sangbo in the dream bubble,

so now she found Sangbo extremely irritating.

【Say?】

【No, it should be exposing...】

【The truth about the sweet dream—you're searching for it, aren't you? Don't be fooled by the beauty, dear; comfort breeds blindness.】

【Don't you think this dream bubble resembles today's Pinoconny? Hmm?】

【A bunch of people with ulterior motives cram onto a tiny stage, none wanting to be exposed under the spotlight, so they shove the poor little gray fur to the front—】

【Dreams aren't your own bathtub—they're a shifting, unpredictable deep sea. If I must be clearer—don't be deceived by the alluring glow.】

【If you fall into the hands of that kind of person... I'd be terribly, terribly disappointed.】

Sangbo spoke in riddles, as if implying something else.

【Glow...?】 Stelle's heart suddenly lurched at this metaphor.

【—Look, is that girl still there?】 Sangbo reminded.

Stelle quickly turned her head toward where Liuying had been,

only to find that Liuying, who should have been standing right beside her, had truly vanished!

And she didn't even know when Liuying had left!

【Claiming to be a native of Pinoconny but understanding none of the local ways—yet skilled at petty theft? Just who are you?】

【Dear, have you never once doubted her?】

【Take my advice—go confront that girl right away if you have questions. Don't let her slink away, ha ha.】

【Goodbye, buddy... don't you dare disappoint me!】

After speaking, Sangbo walked away with a peculiar expression.

Liuying: "......"

Liuying: "Stelle... do you have anything you want to ask?"

Liuying felt uneasy.

Stelle: "Of course I do!!"

Stelle: "I must ask a very serious question!!"

Liuying: "You... you ask... I'm ready!"

Stelle: "Then I'm asking!!"

Stelle: "Hua Huo!! Why are you pretending to be Sangbo?!!"

Stelle: "What is your real purpose in getting close to me and Liuying?!"

Liuying: "I really have no purpose—I just... eh??"

Liuying: "You're not asking me?!"

Seeing Stelle's words,

Liuying was stunned.

Stelle: "Of course I'm not asking you."

Stelle: "How could I ever doubt you?"

Stelle: "You must have your own reasons, right?"

Liuying: "I do have my own reasons... but..."

Stelle: "Having reasons is enough—I don't care about anything else!"

Sangbo: "Sis, you're just blindly trusting her like this?"

Sangbo: "Aren't you afraid she'll betray you?"

Stelle: "None of your damn business! If she betrays me, I'm fine with it—what's it to you?"

Sangbo: "Sis, are you on edge? I didn't even do anything to you!"

Stelle: "You didn't do anything to me?? You just blew me up with a bomb in the dream bubble! (angry. jpg)"

Sangbo: "But that was someone else impersonating me—you said so yourself!"

Stelle: "If it was an impersonation, why impersonate you and not someone else?"

Stelle: "Don't you have even a shred of self-awareness?"

March 7th: "Exactly! Now that you mention it, I just realized!"

March 7th: "Why did the impersonator pick Sangbo specifically?"

Sangbo: "Uh... you believe this is just coincidence?"

Stelle: "I believe it—but my club doesn't!"

Sangbo: "Oh come on, this has nothing to do with me!"

Sangbo: "Forget it—the more I explain, the worse it gets—I'm not saying another word!!"

"What the hell is going on?"

"I didn't even do anything, and now I'm being framed!"

"What bad luck!!"

Somewhere in Belobog,

Sangbo, who had already returned here,

He chuckled bitterly and shook his head.

Stelle: "Huo Huo, step forward!"

Huo Huo: "What's up, Little Grayhair? Why call me~?"

Stelle: "Explain why you pretended to be Sangbo."

Huo Huo: "Pretend to be that guy? That wasn't me!!"

Stelle: "Still denying it?"

Huo Huo: "Hehe, what proof do you have? Without proof, you can't just accuse me out of nowhere!"

Huo Huo: "I'm just a poor, defenseless little girl—I can't handle being scared like this... Waaah~ (Big cry. jpg)"

Stelle: "Isn't this evidence obvious enough?"

Fuminna: "It's definitely obvious!"

Ying: "The flaws are too glaring."

Paimon: "Uh... I... didn't notice any flaws? Am I just stupid?"

Wendin: "Hehe, the answer is actually three words."

Femi: "Is it... 'Little Grayhair'?"

Lin: "Exactly—those three words."

Paimon: "Oh! I remember now!"

Paimon: "Huo Huo Young Lady previously called Stelle Young Lady 'Little Grayhair' in her livestream."

Paimon: "And just now, the fake Mr. Sangbo in the video also called out 'Little Grayhair'!"

Stelle: "Correct. Therefore, we can deduce that the person impersonating Sangbo is Huo Huo!"

Huo Huo: "Oh dear, so it was my loose tongue that got me caught."

Huo Huo: "Alright, fine—I admit it! I was pretending to be Sangbo. So what?"

Huo Huo: "Come on, try to hit me if you dare! (Mocking. jpg)"

Silver Wolf: "Uh... that's a really provoking thing to say."

Flowing Fire: "(Fists clenched. jpg)"

Silver Wolf: "Your fists are clenched—why don't you hit her?"

"This careless style..."

"It seems a bit like the Masked Fool?"

Inside the carriage,

Welt watched Huo Huo's words,

and couldn't help frowning.
