"That's really a shame. If Senior Sister Fufu were to become my sister-in-law, my brother would surely be very happy."

Fufu's face flushed with a rosy hue.

She whispered, "Don't say things like that, it'll cause misunderstandings."

But moments later, she instinctively sensed something unusual.

She looked towards Abigail's forehead.

"Junior, that mark on your forehead is..."

Abigail subconsciously touched the keyhole mark on her forehead.

That was a mark formed after receiving her brother's highly distorted [Thought Steel Seal].

She didn't care in the slightest about it.

Because she was even more extreme than the seal her brother placed on her.

But... she rather enjoyed the happiness of being dominated by her brother.

After all, it wasn't a bad thing for her.

So she said:

"It's a lock, right?"

"A lock?"

Abigail held her face and said:

"My brother locked me."

When she said this, her face showed unabashed happiness.

If it were before, Fufu might have first thought that Chloe had used [Optimization] to mess with people's memories.

But perhaps having tasted it numerous times, she immediately misunderstood when she heard this.

A girl, a younger sister, locked...

Her eyes instinctively glanced downward, towards Abigail's skirt.

A little curious about what might be locked underneath.

Then her head was lightly tapped.

Turning around, she saw Chloe standing there expressionless:

"Sister Fufu, you're thinking something messy again."

Fufu chuckled.

How could that be messy?

Someone afterwards, while holding her, also exclaimed about wanting to lock her away, only for themselves to see.

Isn't that a kind of locking too.

Chloe explained:

"I meddled a bit with her memories and instincts, so if the Desire Mother Tree descends upon her, I'll have means to restrain her too."

Fufu was smart.

Although Chloe didn't directly say what he did, she instantly understood what her man had done.

Brief comment: If you can't solve the Desire Mother Tree, solve the human form of the Desire Mother Tree.

He didn't even have any qualms talking about it right in front of Abigail.

She glanced at Abigail.

She had a faint smile, completely unconcerned.

Then she glanced at Chloe.

Chloe remained expressionless, as if it was all matter-of-fact.

Oh dear.

Looking at it this way, they really did seem a bit like siblings.

Both ruthless wolves!

Alright.

Seems like nothing happened after all.

But Fufu was cautious.

She once again put on a casual smile and said:

"Anyway, Chloe, let's do it again when we have time."

She said this without any reservation in the presence of just three people.

Abigail curiously looked at her:

"Senior Sister Fufu, do you want me to keep this a secret for you?"

"Whether to keep it a secret is up to you. If junior sister ever feels lonely, you can make arrangements with Chloe. Your brother is quite formidable."

Senior Sister Fufu unhesitatingly gave a big thumbs up.

Chloe snorted coldly from the side and said:

"Abigail's situation is different from yours; she can't be like Senior Sister Fufu."

Hearing Chloe say this, Fufu felt a sweetness in her heart.

The little man now also knows how to protect his partner.

Not to mention.

That feeling was quite blissful.

Their gazes intertwined.

Each had a tone with a bit of feigned nonchalance... and a bit of urgency?

In a bantering manner, they moved away from the topic half-heartedly.

Suddenly, Abigail spoke up:

"Brother, Senior Sister, are you both serious?"

"Of course."

"So am I, I just want to see my brother, becoming lovers is impossible!"

Abigail calmly emphasized.

Once again, the three exchanged a glance, all smiling as if everything was tranquil.

Fufu let out a bell-like laughter, her expression natural, showing no hint of her thoughts:

[Oh no, at times like this I can't possibly say, to not become Chloe's weakness, I can only do what a girlfriend should while keeping a low profile.]

—Fortunately, they're more like a couple than an actual couple, but not really a couple, so saying it isn't a lie at all.

Chloe let out a soft laugh, his expression steady:

[Oh no, at times like this I can't possibly say, to avoid the Desire Mother Tree finding my weakness, I could only agree to its demand and make Abigail pregnant.]

——Fortunately, Abigail's identity is a mystery, inherently mixed with a bit of genuine emotion. How could it be the same as with Senior Sister Fufu?

Abigail touched the lock mark on her forehead, her expression calm:

[Damn, at a time like this I can't possibly say that I'm locked in every sense and might even have a child.]

——Luckily, she hadn't planned to interfere in her brother's life anyway. Being able to hide underground wasn't bad, and her brother even agreed to let her have his child.

The eerie atmosphere lasted for half a minute before it finally eased.

At this moment, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open.

Sally, the healer who had just treated Abigail, walked in and said:

"Abigail, come, I'll take you back to the dormitory."

"Okay, Master Sally."

At the same time, Chloe also spoke up:

"Then I'll escort Senior Sister Fufu back."

Having said that.

The few of them parted ways at the Disciplinary Department's entrance.

...

A perfectly idyllic night was completely ruined by this mess.

At least for the next week, they wouldn't be able to go out.

Even though Fufu wasn't actually dirtied, she felt somewhat disheveled:

"The Disciplinary Department is conducting a self-investigation these days and has instructed me not to go outside the outer city unnecessarily for a week."

The implication being she couldn't have any intimate encounters with Chloe in the hotel.

Chloe was also a bit helpless.

Now he was immensely glad he went to see the Fantasy Show.

At least he got a taste while in the booth.

Now it's over, the wonderful night was ruined.

Senior Sister Fufu knew Chloe was dissatisfied, so when no one was around, she clung to his hand.

She even obediently offered a sweet kiss in the shadows.

As a result, what should have been a ten-minute walk back to the dorm took them over an hour, and they still hadn't arrived.

As they approached the women's dormitory, Fufu suddenly asked:

"Chloe, do you really not have any special relationship with the junior?"

Chloe couldn't help but be startled internally.

He looked at Senior Sister Fufu.

He found her staring intently at him.

It was different from the time with the Beauty President.

Back then, he was seduced by Lilith.

And he indeed refused her advances.

So, emotionally and morally, he could hold his head high regarding the Lilith affair.

But he did have a relationship with the junior.

For example, Rephya, who was nominally his [Oath Partner].

For example, Aisha, with whom they even conceived an Abyssal Saint in the simulation.

But he knew the junior Fufu was referring to was Abigail.

Clearly, his genius girl was beginning to doubt Abigail's role.

——She suspected Abigail didn't just want to be a sister.

Shit!

Who was the blabbermouth that exposed his arrangement with the Desire Mother Tree?

It certainly wasn't him, and Abigail had been under his watch, unlikely to reveal the truth.

Once he was certain of this, he replied calmly:

"Strictly speaking, she's a girl I helped when living in the slums, not a sister."

If he had to define their future relationship, it would be as an emotional sister, not a sister.

"This time, the newbie team I brought along included Abigail, and she mentioned her goals."

Wuhu.

Damn it.

So the issue was exposed even before he and Abigail met?

What had his 'sister' said to make Fufu hold him accountable after the fact?

"She said she wanted to wrap herself up as a gift for you."

Upon hearing this, Chloe's expression couldn't maintain its composure.

"Didn't she tell you about that?"

Seeing Chloe's expression turn a bit odd, Senior Sister Fufu raised an eyebrow.

That shouldn't be.

This junior in the Maze mostly remained expressionless.

When encountering danger, she would express fear, saying, "I haven't met my brother, nothing can happen."

Even during conversations, her expression and tone were quite indifferent.

Only when mentioning the person she was looking for did she seem more human.

The rest of the time, she was more like a beautifully crafted doll.

Now she finally got to see Chloe, and she could hold back?

Chloe was taken aback.

This was a difficult question to answer.

Every precaution had a flaw.

Who could have anticipated that Fufu was already a teammate with Abigail?

His agreement with the Desire Mother Tree wasn't suitable for anyone to know.

So he coughed, just about to explain, when Fufu interrupted with a playful smile:

"Don't say she doesn't want to be with you; I knew her before you did."

"Her intentions are indeed quite clear."

Unexpectedly, Chloe directly confronted the question.
