[WARNING! Detecting Host's words and actions are severely OOC! Checking if Host has been replaced!]
[Host! What was going through your mind to say a line that cheesy?! This system is about to crash from the cringe! (╬) I never knew you were such a smooth-talker!]
[What happened to the cold-blooded, emotionless killer who only saw Alina as a tool? You're already holding her hand!]
[And you said you're not gay! (╬)]
"..."
Yu Yachen held Alina's small hand, ignoring the system exploding in her head.
She led Alina toward the camp, her face blank.
The system seemed to have caught on.
Unlike a normal novel protagonist, Yu Yachen was a very special person. And unlike Yoshikage Kira, who was single-mindedly focused on his "peaceful life," Yu Yachen had her own interests. She seemed to be very enthusiastic about certain fictional characters from her past life.
[...Fine. Your acting is pretty good.]
The Cat-Guest System sighed internally. But it wasn't discouraged! Alina was a love interest specifically tailored for Yu Yachen! Sooner or later, it, Cat-Guest System 7355608, would turn the Host completely!
Yu Yachen had intended to just lead Alina straight home. But after only a few steps, she sensed footsteps approaching.
"Who's there?"
She looked at the nearby woods. At the same time, the black-haired Ursus youth, Ivan, walked out awkwardly.
"Uh... Miss Alina, Miss Yu... what a coincidence."
Ivan scratched his head.
"?"
"Ivan? You couldn't sleep either, so you came for a walk?" Yu Yachen remarked.
"Yeah... just a bit of insomnia."
The Ursus youth gave a sheepish laugh. "Speaking of which, what are you two doing out here? Eh? Miss Alina, isn't that The Little Prince?"
Hearing this, Alina looked down at the book in her hand.
"Ah... yes."
"Can I borrow it in a few days? I'm kind of interested in it too."
Alina paused, then nodded. "Of course."
"Then let's go back together. It's dangerous out here, it's better not to be out," Yu Yachen suggested.
"Ah, okay, okay."
After the brief exchange, the Ursus youth saw that their guard was down, and he dared to follow behind them.
Yu Yachen, her expression unchanged, let go of Alina's hand. She pushed Alina in front of her, positioning herself in the middle.
After walking for a short while, the Ursus youth behind them suddenly revealed a ferocious grin.
Fools. You can't see through my [Paper Hearts] disguise. Heh. I have more important things to do. As an appetizer, you can both just die!
She summoned her Stand. A completely white humanoid figure floated in the air and chopped at Yu Yachen's back.
"BAM!"
But just as the Stand was about to hit, a pale purple light shimmered around Yu Yachen. Killer Queen appeared, its sturdy arm firmly blocking the attack.
"What?!"
The enemy, disguised as Ivan, was shocked. Before "he" could react, Killer Queen had already sent a heavy fist into "his" abdomen.
"BAM!"
Caught off guard, the enemy was sent flying, crashing into a distant pine tree with enough force to snap the trunk before finally stopping.
"As I recall, Ivan can't read. I don't know how you knew our names, but your disguise is sloppy."
Killer Queen returned to Yu Yachen's side, striking a bizarre pose, as the white-haired woman spoke flatly.
Alina had clearly also noticed something was wrong. She hid behind Yu Yachen, trying not to be a burden.
"Cough, cough."
"S-So strong... that power is even greater than my Stand's..."
The "skin" covering the enemy suddenly peeled off like sheets of paper, and her original rough voice became clear and feminine. A white-haired Ursus woman was revealed from beneath the peeling paper.
"Waaaaahhh..."
Unlike the usual villains who would posture and threaten after being beaten, this woman just covered her face and burst into tears.
"Damn it... you damn Infected! Why can't you stupid Infected even read?! I... I tried so hard! Why are you doing this to me? Waaahhh..."
"?"
Yu Yachen was speechless.
But she also sensed that this enemy was not simple. The white-haired woman narrowed her eyes. A normal person, taking a punch from [Killer Queen], would either have their stomach punctured or, at best, suffer a few broken bones. But this woman was completely unharmed.
She looks as weak as I do... Yu Yachen observed her. Wait, she's not weak at all. Her clothes are just slimming. Her muscles are big enough to stretch the fabric.
Yu Yachen's worst fear had come true.
If Stand users only existed in her old world, it would be fine. But the average physical fitness of people on Terra was too high. This meant they could potentially overcome the classic Stand user weakness—the user's body.
"Damn it, damn it! You bastards!"
The Ursus woman cried out. The white humanoid Stand in front of her suddenly reached into its own body and pulled! An Ursus youth was dragged out of a pile of paper.
This time, it was the real Ivan. The woman, Eirymes, finished crying, immediately had her Stand grab the youth by the neck, and shouted:
"Don't move, you bitch! If you move a single muscle, I'll kill this guy!"
"..."
Yu Yachen stared expressionlessly at the tear-streaked Eirymes. If Alina weren't here, she probably wouldn't have cared about the Ursus youth's life.
Yu Yachen took a step forward.
"Hey! Do you hear me?! I said don't move!"
Eirymes reacted immediately, and clear choke marks appeared on the youth's neck.
"[Sticky Fingers]."
But Yu Yachen ignored her completely. The blue-and-white Stand appeared. It made a throwing motion, whipping its right arm forward!
The sound of a zipper zipping filled the air. [Sticky Fingers]'s right arm suddenly detached from its body, flying toward Eirymes like a cannonball.
"BAM!"
Eirymes tried to summon her Stand to defend, but the sudden move was too fast. She was punched squarely in the cheekbone.
By opening a zipper on my own arm, I can use the retracting zipper to extend my range. This allowed [Sticky Fingers], normally a 1-2 meter range Stand, to make a short-range attack. It was the same principle as Killer Queen's ranged bombs.
[Sticky Fingers]'s... fingers... swiped across Eirymes's neck. The place it touched became a horizontal zipper. The moment the zipper was opened, Eirymes's neck detached from her torso, and her head fell onto the snow.
"Thud—"
