Weird Stories: Gothic Lolita Begins

"I overestimated my patience." Lucia flicked her tail and jumped from Apophi's shoulder to the back of a nearby sofa. "Of course, it's mainly because the house is too lively."

Lenari held an unopened red can in his hand and blinked: "It's really lively recently..."

"It's rare that everyone is here... uh, where's Oborozuki?" Lucia looked around. Although the scent was definitely there, she couldn't find anyone.

"I'm here." The Oborozuki Tuanzi, who was held in Lei's arms, floated up in response.

"Uh..." Lucia, who had a keen sense of smell and always thought it was an extra-large snack, widened her eyes in disbelief, "How did you..."

Oborozuki Tuanzi blinked her eyes, which were only two circles, and said gently: "I was in a strange story the night before yesterday, and my appearance has changed. Other than that, I'm fine."

Suddenly, a pair of slender hands stretched out from the side and took the round Oborozuki Tuanzi away from Lei.

Lei turned around in astonishment and found that it was Hongfeng who had come to his side and back without knowing when.

——Strange, wasn't Hongfeng standing behind Apophi just now?

In doubt, Lei saw that Hongfeng, who had no expression most of the time, had a clear look of confusion on his face, and his hands were checking the Oborozuki Tuanzi over and over again without any courtesy.

Just when Lei was a little amused, the next moment, his eyes widened, and the expression on his face suddenly solidified into a confused and weird look before he could even change.

——Without any signs, Hongfeng suddenly lowered his head and took a bite of the Oborozuki Tuanzi.

“……Old friend?” The Oborozuki Tuanzi, who had a bald spot on his head, blinked and was a little confused.

"..." Hong Feng chewed and swallowed slowly, his expression becoming more and more confused, "It's actually a real glutinous rice dumpling..."

It was not until this time that Lei finally realized what happened, and screamed on the spot: "Ah ... "Isn't what I said the truth?" Lenari asked back.

"The truth is indeed the truth, but... Oh, forget it, it doesn't matter." Lucia wisely gave up the meaningless argument, "I am Lucia, a wise farm cat, the nominal boss of the firm."

"And in fact." Lenari added.

"No, I think..." Lucia frowned and subconsciously wanted to refute.

"Vivian is in the womb, you have to consider his feelings." Lenari interrupted Lucia and said softly, "Besides, if you really want to clarify the matter back then, you are the only legal heir to Vivian's inheritance."

Lucia had to admit that Lenari was right.

"...Okay." The black cat shook his beard, lowered his head and muttered reluctantly.

On the side, Lenari, who seemed calm on the surface, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

In legal terms (the otherworld version), Lenari is Vivian's adopted daughter, and Vivian... is the thief of Vivian's identity.

In other words, Lenari is a complete outsider to Vivian and Lucia, who are actually "mother and daughter".

Since learning the truth about Vivian and Vivian, neither she nor Lucia has taken the initiative to mention this cold and objective fact, but facts are facts after all.

Lenari has been worrying about how to make this fact clear, but unexpectedly, the timing and atmosphere came so perfectly.

As for the identity of "second boss", Lenari can justifiably sit firmly in the position of "partner" or "investor".

—— Lenari is very satisfied and cherishes the family-like friendship with Lucia and the current comfortable mode of getting along between the two sides.

As for the more specific and more unfamiliar division of property... Lenari believes that Apophi will handle everything.

"Next?" Seeing that no one was introducing themselves, Lenari was in a good mood and urged them a little..

"Let me do it." Apofi, who was sitting on Lenari's left, took over the conversation. "I am Apofi, the housekeeper of the office, and a follower of the 'Lord of Everlasting Darkness'."

The position of "housekeeper" seems very out of place for a modern company, but no one objects or is puzzled by it. After all, you can't let a cat or a god really come out to manage the company, right?

After Apofi spoke, the girl who looked very similar to her but with a different "color" sitting on Lenari's right immediately spoke:

"Hello everyone, I am 'Night Crow No. 3'. If you find it troublesome, you can just treat me as 'Night Crow'." "Night Crow No. 3" said, with a cheerful and playful tone, "After all, the 'Night Crow' you are familiar with is the representative of our series of special creations."

"..." On the side, Lucia couldn't help but look sideways, wanting to say something but stopping and wanting to say something again.

Lenari responded with an especially innocent look.

The black cat turned his head away, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, but he still resisted the urge to expose it on the spot.

After "Night Crow No. 3", the scene was quiet for a while.

Lei, who was a few sofas away from Lenari and was daydreaming, realized that everyone was looking at him, and couldn't help but said: "Ah? Is it my turn?"

"According to the order of joining the agency..." Lucia turned her head to look at the Husky in Lenari's arms, who was still being kneaded and flattened, and then silently looked away, nodded seriously, "Well, it's your turn."

"..." Lei's eyes stayed on the plasticine-like Husky for a moment, then looked around nonchalantly, and smiled, "I am Lei Barak, a novice tree demon who was once a human, and an employee of the agency's branch in Anaki City. ”

“Chloe Grace, a blood-blood, single, an employee of the agency’s branch in Phantom City.”

“Lucas Farmer, titled ‘Whisperer’, possesses the broken godhead ‘Evil of All Beings’, barely a demigod, an employee of the agency’s branch in Ruby City.”

“Longyue, is he considered a senior water monster? An employee of the agency, no position has been assigned yet.”

“Coco, a half-demon, Lei’s father, has just joined the agency, no position has been assigned yet.”

“Hongfeng, a tree demon, has just joined the agency, no position has been assigned yet.”

After everyone had introduced themselves, Lenari finally let go of Wang Bao temporarily.

She gently patted the husky’s furry head that had recovered at the speed of light, and said with a smile: “It’s your turn.”

“Wang…Wang Bao’s name is Wang Bao, he is Wang Bao from the agency, and he is stationed in the Phantom City branch.” Wang Bao said in a soft voice and very well-behaved.
