[CH.17] Love and Justice: 1+2
Alice followed her senior wearing only a shirt, oversized enough to cover critical areas. She arrived at the dining table barefoot and silently sat down next to her senior.
Li Meiting didn't comment much on Alice's behavior. She broke her donut in half and handed it to Alice before lowering her head to absentmindedly refresh her phone messages.
The senior's behavior was indeed a bit off. Although they were sitting together, there was a distance between them in their hearts. It was as if a screen had been raised, and the senior was deliberately avoiding contact with Alice.
This didn't seem like the usual senior. Grinding her teeth and having a stomachache was not the feeling Alice liked. She preferred a more straightforward senior, even if it was just some cheesy pickup lines.
Could it be that the senior was playing hard to get? And had Alice taken the bait?
Alice held her donut and reached out to tug at the sleeve of her senior.
"What's wrong, do you have something to say? Could it be that you want to act cute with me? I've been waiting for that, you know."
"Last night..."
"Cough!"
Li Meiting cleared her throat, interrupting Alice's words. She turned red and mumbled softly, "Actually... I had a bit of alcohol last night, and... it's all because you're so cute, so I... I'm sorry! Please forget about that!"
The senior clasped her hands together and lowered her head to apologize to Alice. Her sincere demeanor was like that of a mischievous little boy who had done something wrong.
But what Alice wanted to hear was not this kind of apology. Last night, the two of them had come very close to crossing a certain line, and how could she easily forget that?
"That was really just a moment of impulse for me. I didn't consider your feelings at that time. I'm truly sorry, and I won't do something like that to you again."
Won't do something like that again?
Alice didn't want to hear these words. Even a compliment on her cuteness as usual would have sufficed, or just some casual conversation, maybe even a pat on the head.
She leaned closer on her own, and after doing so, she wanted her to forget everything. This kind of behavior was usually something only a scoundrel would do, right?
"Senior, you did all sorts of things to me, and it made me... made me feel so strange..."
"Alice, I'm really sorry..."
"I don't want to hear these kinds of words!"
Alice covered her ears with her hands, refusing to listen to the next words.
What would the senior say? Was it just a momentary impulse?
If it wasn't for that reason, why would the senior apologize?
Alice was Han Huayang's personality split, and Han Huayang was originally a pure-hearted boy. Influenced by her attributes, Alice's way of thinking was closer to that of a woman, but her behavior still retained the boldness of a certain part of men.
"What if I say it's okay now?"
"Huh?"
Alice lifted her dress slightly, but due to her shyness, it was more of a half-hearted attempt.
She wasn't confident enough to fully expose herself yet, but she continued to act against her will, driven by her feelings for the senior.
"Please... please, senior... teach me how to be a good girl!"
Alice trembled as she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. She closed her eyes to prevent the tears from falling.
Suddenly, something soft and delicate pressed against Alice's lips. Sweet and soft.
Alice slightly opened her mouth, and the soft object entered her mouth, brushing against the tip of her tongue.
The taste of cream spread in her mouth as the senior fed her a small piece of bread. She gently patted Alice's head and said, "Silly, the most important thing for a girl is to learn to cherish herself. Please don't say such things in the future."
Li Meiting seemed composed, as if she didn't mind Alice's devotion at all.
But in reality, her heart was pounding, and if Alice were to take the initiative a little more, she was afraid her nosebleed would start gushing.
Last night, Li Meiting and Kate spent the entire night chatting on the rooftop of the New World Mall, and they even had a physical fight.
The swelling on Li Meiting's forehead was actually caused by a headbutt from Kate in her cat form. Of course, Li Meiting also landed a punch that displayed her exceptional skills, shattering Kate's transformation.
In terms of combat abilities, there was no clear winner between a human and a cat, but Kate had the advantage of being unharmed in her transformation and her ability to switch forms. Li Meiting, on the other hand, excelled in physical strength and had extensive combat experience.
At the end of the physical brawl, Kate tired out first, declaring Li Meiting as the winner.
As a friendly bout aimed at mutual understanding, Senior learned a lot from Kate, including the secrets within Alice's attributes.
This naturally included the mystery behind the 【Love and Justice】 attribute in Alice.
"Alice, do you have a 【Love and Justice】 attribute? Have you leveled up that attribute?"
"No, why are you asking this?"
"Never mind that for now. Can you confirm the level of that attribute now?"
Although Alice still had questions, she complied with her senior's request and looked at her attribute list again.
【Magical Girl Alice】
Desire: 2
Love and Justice: 1+2
Sailor Uniform: 5
Knee-High Socks: 6
Idol: 5
Physical Strength: 5
Spirit Link: 3 (7)
Love Points: 69
Magic Skills: Love Strike, Charm Boost (Passive)
The 【Love and Justice】 attribute did indeed undergo a change, with the original white value now accompanied by a pink plus sign and a number. More importantly, Alice gained a strange new attribute.
【Desire: 2】
Alice's current maximum attribute slots were 6, and this inexplicably added attribute filled the previous gap, even coming with a passive that increased desire.
When did this additional attribute appear?
Just by the name alone, it seemed like this attribute might be problematic...
"So, what changes have occurred with that attribute?"
Seeing that Alice didn't speak, her senior continued, "The boss told me that 'Love and Justice' can influence your behavior and thoughts to some extent. It's similar to my violent attribute, rare attributes that can affect behavior.
"I think you might have been deeply influenced by that attribute. It's possible that some strange attributes have emerged as a result."
There were three ways for magical girls to acquire new attributes. The first was through point purchase, the second through specific behaviors, and the third through derived changes in attributes.
Only special attributes underwent derived changes. They would automatically upgrade, change, or even give rise to new attributes and skills under specific conditions.
【Desire: 2】indeed seemed like a newly derived attribute, and it even came with an additional passive skill.
"So, Senior, what are you trying to convey with all this? Are you suggesting that the behavior from last night caused this attribute to increase?" Alice asked.
Her senior's face turned red at once. She lowered her head and hesitated, saying, "Yesterday, my teasing behavior towards you was indeed a bit excessive. At that time, you had very little magical power, and your body was weak, making it difficult to resist the desire attribute. So... so I'm to blame for you being alone in your room, comforting yourself! I might have caused you to acquire some strange attributes!"
