Cherreads

Chapter 30 - Chapter 31

Is this the strength of the enemy?

Emerald eyes widened inadvertently, cherry lips parted slightly, revealing pearly white teeth, and a crimson tongue, once vibrant but now lacking vitality, hidden within.

The hands clutching the camera unconsciously drooped, and beyond the barrier of the transparent lens, the pupils directly captured everything before them with extreme visual acuity.

She had witnessed things that surpassed her past imagination.

A state she had never encountered in her life of over a decade.

Whether Vil-V is a pervert or not is irrelevant.

Stealing the boy's clothes and underwear would only make the girl despise him from the bottom of her heart, and make her wonder when he had sneaked into the tent.

But the gentle boy also showed a side she had never seen before, a side she had never imagined.

Even if she searched every corner of her memory.

She couldn't find any image of Jiang Cheng showing this appearance in front of her, or in front of everyone, during the springs, summers, autumns, and winters spent with him, whether he was a boy, a youth, or an adult, whether it was morning, noon, or night.

Perhaps Jiang Cheng was not lacking in humor, nor was he so taciturn; it was only because he was always with her that he seemed to speak less—she had almost never taken the time to chat with the boy.

But as the girl in the distance hesitated and searched her memory, the ever-open lens recorded the boy gently reaching out to Vil-V lying on the bed, his eyes filled with light, and a gentle and joyful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"You wouldn't..."

"Think I wouldn't even know that, would you?"

The somewhat awkward atmosphere changed suddenly.

The boy continued to speak, explaining everything, that the behavior just now was essentially just to comfort her in a better way, to pull her out of emotional attrition.

Vil-V also seriously raised her head, her rosy lower lip lightly bitten inadvertently.

The light reflected in her eyes was fully received by Aili Xiya in the distance, a genuine happiness, the emotional comfort brought by mutual assistance, affirming the boy's actions in a way she had never done before.

"I don't dislike it... rather, I would say please do more of this in the future."

"Please be more rough."

"My one and only master."

...It had reached a point of incomprehension.

So sincere.

The sincere emotion on the girl's face represented unquestionable truth, even to the point of impatient anticipation.

It was completely opposite to her former self, a heavy love that was almost unimaginable.

Perhaps even towering mountain peaks would seem too light and too small compared to that heavy love.

For this girl who did not know what love was, perhaps the best way to treat the one she loved was to open up her heart and give it to her lover, to give all of herself, everything she had.

Whether real or imaginary, whether it was a real chain from reality, or some more vague reins on a spiritual level.

—It shouldn't be so bad, so insurmountable.

How could she find an opponent to match the heaviness of giving everything she had?

The girl subconsciously denied it, trying to create space for the greed, reluctance, and unwillingness in her heart, which even she loathed but could not suppress or truly quell, to continue to grow, to strive for soil to continue to breed.

The filthy emotions bred in a truly innocent heart, like a flower, until the arrival of the next scene.

The lovely, genius girl gently pulled back the quilt.

Carelessly bending her slender figure.

Making her body completely close to the floor.

Revealing the most humble, the most vulnerable, and also the most flattering and heavy posture in the boy's sight, in those dark eyes.

—Complete Dogeza!

47. An organization in the shadows, named Moth Chasing Fire

...Silence.

Only silence remained.

She could no longer find the possibility of victory.

Pink-blue pupils could only watch as Jiang Cheng and Vil-V continued their daily routine, saying things she had never understood.

The boy's hobbies, the boy's mood changes... He actually really liked steampunk things.

Because it was cool.

He liked the 'click-clack' of gears turning, the 'roar' of steam venting, giant robots, cool equipment in anime, and chuuni quotes.

Things that every boy should like, things that could make them climax on the spot.

She...didn't know...only knew what Jiang Cheng liked, but had never paid attention to the real details.

She could only say some broad frameworks that anyone could say.

—That was all.

In the conversation, the boy always accommodated her, talking about what she liked, what she cared about, blooming flowers, flying birds, skirts, and horns.

This kind of behavior of discussing each other's preferences and communicating...had never happened.

Not even once...[At twenty-two years old, you, as the Spiral Workshop owner, began your first year of getting along with Vil-V.]

[The two of you lived in perfect harmony—if you ignore the emotions that are so heavy that they seem to crush you, and the girl's constant attempts to pour all her love and affection into you every minute and every second.]

[The current life seems to be no longer traveling, but in fact, the freedom and ease are far more open to your mind than the previous travels.]

[If you replace this workshop with a tent, and replace separate Rooms with sleeping bags, then this life can be said to be no different from before.]

[Although the distance is far away, you can feel that your heart and Vil-V's are much closer and more intimate than with Aili Xiya.]

[The girl is not simply inferior, or rather, not only purely inferior, but also has a little pride and self-esteem under her inferiority, hoping to be affirmed by others, hoping to one day step onto a big stage.]

Being admired and completing your performance amidst applause is a bit chuuni.

Previously, you had never imagined that a person's heart could be so magnificent, even though your own mind has never been calm or mediocre.

If it weren't for having the same trauma, empathizing, and being willing to bear all of the girl's emotions, no matter how heavy they might be.

I'm afraid you wouldn't imagine how severe the self-internal friction is hidden beneath the seemingly calm sea, and how intense the suppressed emotions are, to the point of being as torrential as a tsunami.

Unfortunately, all the girl's little thoughts, desire to show off, desire to invent...

All emotions and hobbies must give way to inferiority.

Everything can only be accumulated in the heart.

The silver lining in the misfortune is that there is still a chance to salvage everything.

When you met the girl, the situation had not yet reached the most desperate moment, and you could use your innate psychological talent to bring some help.

In other aspects, you have actually become a character who is almost being kept.

You are inferior to the girl in talent and ability, but with her unreserved help, you have substantially become the owner of the Spiral Workshop and an external communicator, using that equally useless communication ability to take orders.

Relying on the girl's ability, you have received several large orders in the past year, earning unimaginable figures with just remote guidance.

These orders are basically enough to ensure that you and Vil-V will have no worries about food and clothing in the future. The only strange thing is that these orders all come from one company or institution, and that one's name is a bit chuuni.

— Moth Chasing Fire.

Moths chasing the flame, the fate that awaits them is only being burned to ashes. It's just like a tragic organization in an apocalyptic novel.

It shouldn't be that bad, right?

Although the name is indeed a bit unlucky.

Out of vigilance, you wanted the girl to search for information about those organizations, but found that the organization's information had already been completely collected.

Perhaps because this matter may threaten the peace and happiness of your life, the girl, without any subjective initiative, spontaneously completed this somewhat difficult task without anyone urging her.

It wouldn't be accurate to call it completely without subjectivity before. At least when it comes to things related to you, Vil-V's motivation is simply off the charts.

That force is not a simple small organization, but was jointly established by various countries abandoning their grievances, using the world's top technology. It is a place where the most senior, most knowledgeable geniuses and Scholars gather.

Just participating in it is already something unimaginable for ordinary people. Perhaps even the cleaning lady inside is a doctor from another famous university.

The so-called genius is the cheapest thing, and even characters who only appear in textbooks may not be able to call themselves true big shots there.

The organization combined by so many people can be so easily breached by the girl, and the information obtained is estimated to be more detailed than they know about themselves. This talent is a truly unimaginable existence.

After completely conquering the information database and deeply learning about Moth Chasing Fire's information, the girl did not stop, but became even more serious.

The time the girl spends working super seriously has reached one-tenth of the attention she puts on you.

The specific reason seems to be because of a new energy in the Moth Chasing Fire database recently, which has multiple transmission methods and a very high mortality rate.

That energy is called by the highest symbol of the academic world in the Moth Chasing Fire database...

— Honkai.

At first, it was only verified as a new type of energy with a mortality rate like radiation, and it may be a new energy that can be used by humans.

Until a laboratory with a great reputation in the academic world was destroyed overnight, and all the Scholar assistants inside became ash-like existences.

People realized that the danger of this energy seems to be more domineering than the so-called nuclear radiation.

At least the death from radiation wouldn't be so fast.

Wouldn't be so thorough.

Now, because of a Doctor named Mobius who was born in the biological world, nuclear radiation can no longer be as frightening as it once was.

Honkai is a special energy that is almost completely unknown to the public.

Although it has been suppressed by people in the medical field, many people are still worried about it.

You are not one of those who are worried, but you also know about the energy called Honkai because of this, although it seems to be a trivial matter now.

48. Moth Chasing Fire sends you an invitation

Vil-V has no idea about the so-called new energy, but she is very concerned about new substances that may harm your life safety.

It's just a matter of spending a little more time, making a backup plan's backup plan's backup plan's backup plan's backup plan.

Originally, she just wanted to study it thoroughly and then mass-produce some antidotes as usual, and by the way, raise some activity funds for the Spiral Workshop with patents.

But after researching it, Vil-V discovered that the danger of Honkai, which seems to be a new energy, is actually just the tip of the iceberg. The actual Honkai is more terrifying than imagined.

Behind everything, this weird energy that can even emit some clues from history ultimately points to the already trodden moon.
