Chapter 370 - Wrong Choice?
Boom! Although she didn’t exert her full power, it was still enough to throw Rhode against the wall. Rhode fell into a daze. He stumbled as he tried to stand up, but he soon regained clarity. Then, a soft, pleasant voice echoed in the room.
“Mini Bubblegum, you’ve got to fix the problem of attacking without looking at the target. That’s not a pervert. That’s leader.”
“Eh?!”
A little girl screamed in surprise. She stared at him in disbelief as if she was looking at something weird.
“He is our leader? Big sister, don’t lie to me! Isn’t leader muscular?”
When Rhode heard what she said, his mouth couldn’t help but twitch in annoyance. Rhode avoided attending the guild meet-up sessions for this exact reason. But now he couldn’t avoid it any longer…
“That’s the appearance of leader’s avatar in the game…”
The red-haired girl crossed her arms and stared at Rhode with a gentle smile.
“… but as much as I would like to catch up with you, leader, at least give us some clothes first.”
“Hmph… I also have a pretty good relationship with leader. ”
Watching their blissful expressions, Mini Bubblegum began to pout. She placed her hands on her waist and pointed her chin upwards proudly.
“Am I right? Leader?”
“What? Um… Yea, you’re right… ”
Rhode spread his hands helplessly and nodded. Unlike the romantic relationship between him and Canary, Mini Bubblegum was like a needy kid who had the ‘chuunibyou’ syndrome. When she invented the ‘treating foes as friends’ method, many players sneered at her. If it was any other girl, they must’ve been already crying in their beds. However, as a rich second generation and a full-fledged chuunibyou, she wasn’t that easily pissed off. Even after being ridiculed, she didn’t give up. Instead, she simply dropped out of school and spent two months formulating the ‘treating foes as friends’ method and slapped the people who mocked her before in the face.
At that time, Rhode was Mini Bubblegum’s only supporter and had helped her in the process of formulating this method. That was why no one in the guild could tame her, except for Rhode of course. Eventually, Rhode had no choice but to make her his ‘Personal Cleric.’ After all, she was indeed very skillful, but at the same time, her personality was also a real pain.
Seeing the reluctance on Rhode’s face made Mini Bubblegum feel a little dissatisfied. She straightened her body and lifted her head proudly once more.
“Well, my relationship with leader is not so simple and cannot be explained in just a few words. Besides, I’ve also been naked in front of leader before!”
*Crumble*
Clearly nothing seemed unusual, but he didn’t know why he felt that the world before him was crumbling.
“Oh…?”
When Canary heard Mini Bubblegum’s intriguing words, she responded by slightly raising her brow.
“Really?”
“It was her who forced me to see… I didn’t expect that she will do such a thing. Who would know that she would actually do it?!”
As soon as Mini Bubblegum spilled the beans, Rhode immediately denied by shaking his head. As expected of a chuunibyou… even the way to express thanks was different from others.
After helping Mini Bubblegum to invent the ‘treating foes as friends’ method, she sent him a video asking him to see something. Rhode had no reason to doubt her and immediately clicked on her video. But oh holy sh*t, never would he expect a fourteen-year-old girl to speak unabashedly whilst naked!
It was a whole new world for him… when he saw her completely undeveloped naked body in the video, he almost spat out his cola.
“Oh, well…”
Upon hearing Rhode’s reply, Canary nodded slightly and looked at Mini Bubblegum thoughtfully. Then she held out two fingers triumphantly.
“But I’ve already done everything with leader.”
The room was cold, but for some reason, Rhode felt two hot torrents coming for him.
For the first time, he realized that he probably shouldn’t have chosen these two to be guardians at all…
