[Spy- Bad JQ...]
-
After Robin announced her concert at White Eagle, Chu Xingyu, a newly appointed member of the White Eagle Eight, immediately began researching Elysia, the organization's newest member.
It's never wise to go unprepared into enemy territory, he thought.
His conclusion: Elysia was almost certainly a lesbian.
That's what most people online seemed to agree on.
Well, that wasn't exactly unusual for White Eagle. And with Miss Robin being so stunningly beautiful and adorable, it wasn't surprising that she'd caught the eye of a lesbian.
So, these two unsurprising things had simply happened? Chu Xingyu's lips trembled slightly. "We're doomed! Our boss has been snatched away by a lesbian!"
Shu Cat's eyes widened. "Huh?! What the hell? Elysia's a lesbian?!"
How would you feel if your favorite idol, the beautiful girl you stan with all your heart, was stolen away by another incredibly gorgeous lesbian?
Shu Cat's first reaction was, "No way! If Miss Robin gets turned gay, what am I supposed to do?!"
But then he realized something else. Even if Robin remained straight and liked guys, the chances of her ever falling for someone like him were slim to none. He was self-aware enough to admit that.
Conversely, if one day Robin were to fall for another man—someone more outstanding and handsome than him—that would be even more unbearable!
Comparing the two scenarios, it seemed... more acceptable for an ordinary fan like Shu Cat if she stuck to being close with another pretty girl rather than getting a boyfriend.
Shu Cat's mood quickly calmed, and he even nodded thoughtfully. "Hmm, maybe it's not so bad after all?"
Chu Xingyu stared at him in utter bewilderment. "???"
What the hell are you babbling about, kid?!
The next morning, Robin and Elysia woke up simultaneously in their hotel room. Their long hair, one light blue and the other pink, was scattered across the bed, shimmering beautifully in the early sunlight.
"Ha~" x2
They both yawned softly in unison, then quickly got up, washed, helped each other brush their hair, and got dressed.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door, followed by the Dragon Lady's cheerful voice: "Bird Sister, are you awake?"
Elysia suddenly flinched, a slightly panicked expression crossing her face. For some reason, she felt as if she'd been caught in the middle of an illicit affair.
Normally, if you were caught cheating, your first instinct would be to hide—in the closet, under the bed, anywhere out of sight. But after a moment's hesitation, Elysia confidently strode to the door and opened it herself.
"Bird Sister..." Yu Lin began, then stopped abruptly, her gaze fixed on the pink-haired girl at the door. "Sister Ely? What are you doing here?"
After spending the entire previous day together, Elysia and Yu Lin had grown close enough to call each other "sisters."
Elysia smiled sweetly. "I just got here myself. Come on in! We can all leave together soon."
Robin, ready to play along and support Elysia's story, was about to chime in when Yu Lin nodded preemptively. "Is that so?"
The girl instantly believed her, leaving Elysia somewhat flustered.
If Elysia and Robin had collaborated, each adding details to weave a convincing lie that ensnared Yu Lin, Elysia might have felt a sense of relief. But Yu Lin's immediate acceptance of the half-formed deception made Elysia feel guilty, as if she were swindling a naive child.
Another reason for Yu Lin's trust was the overwhelmingly positive impression Elysia had given her the day before. She had presented herself as a kind, gentle, and considerate older sister, making it impossible for Yu Lin to suspect her of deception.
They say the more beautiful a woman is, the more skilled she is at lying. But perhaps it also means the more beautiful a woman is, the easier it is for her to deceive others. Elysia, for example, was a wicked woman who could lie without blushing, skipping a beat, or changing her expression.
With the "affair crisis" (not really) resolved, the group had breakfast and boarded the plane back to Florida. After returning to the concert venue and settling in, Robin immediately contacted Zhong Wanhong in the Dragon Nation. Her first words were, "I think I can now exercise the authority of the White Eagle Eight."
"Pfft—!" Zhong Wanhong, who had been drinking tea on the other end of the video call, immediately spat it out. Even this usually stern man wore an expression of utter disbelief. "Robin, you... you and Elysia..."
Robin tilted her head slightly, her small wings fluttering instinctively behind her ears. She looked genuinely puzzled. Why was Elysia being dragged into this?
In truth, after Shu Cat learned the previous night that Robin had been taken away by a lesbian, the news had naturally spread throughout the Chat Group. Zhong Wanhong had overheard the conversation between Lü Heng and Invincible Bro.
At first, he hadn't paid much attention. After all, how could a normal girl be turned gay in a single day?
But now, Robin was suddenly telling him she could "exercise the authority of the White Eagle Eight." Any rational person would assume she had obtained this power from Elysia.
Zhong Wanhong viewed Robin with the protective affection of a father. To hear that his daughter had been seduced by a lesbian in just one day left him utterly dumbfounded.
"Ahem... Robin, you need to understand... it's not just men who deceive; women can be deceitful too. I don't know what she told you, but you need to think carefully and not act rashly!"
Robin looked utterly bewildered. "Huh?"
Though she had no idea what he was implying, she proceeded to explain her experience in the Prophet's Territory. As an official of the Dragon Nation, it would be unthinkable to accept such immense authority without reporting it.
After finishing her account, she added, "I really didn't know how to refuse, so I ended up accepting the terminal."
Robin could then clearly see Zhong Wanhong on the video call frantically rubbing his nose, his face contorted in awkwardness.
A perfectly timed "Did you misunderstand something just now?" would have been a checkmate, but the ever-considerate Robin would never do that. Instead, she asked, "Captain Zhong, what's your take on this prophecy of the apocalypse in three years?"
