Stand users couldn't be mass-produced. Ninty percent of people struck by an arrow would die from its virus, unless they had immense mental strength.
So, she didn't need to worry about a large-scale outbreak of Stand users. But she would still probably run into quite a few.
Yu Yachen shook her head. It didn't matter. With the combination of Killer Queen and Sticky Fingers, she was already extremely powerful.
The most urgent task now was to kill Polpo and take his arrow, then kill Diavolo. After that... Yu Yachen considered making a trip to Laterano.
The [Bug Arrow], which could evolve a Stand into "Requiem," was something she wanted badly.
After greeting the guard, Yu Yachen returned to Talulah's cabin. She gently pushed open the bedroom door. Even though she was quiet, the sleeping Talulah was woken up.
"Miss Yu?"
Hearing the voice from the bed, Yu Yachen froze.
"You went out?" Talulah sat up slowly. "Wait... are you injured?"
She threw off the blanket and quickly got up.
"Alina couldn't sleep. I went out to look at the scenery with her," Yu Yachen replied.
"We ran into enemies on the way. Alina was injured."
"What!"
Talulah's eyes widened.
"But I took care of them. I've already treated her wounds. She's back resting now."
"Oh... that's good."
Talulah sighed in relief. "Then the injuries on you..."
"This blood isn't mine."
Yu Yachen lied casually.
"I didn't realize... Miss Yu, are you very strong?"
"It's not that I'm strong. The opponents were just too weak," Yu Yachen replied flatly.
"Sorry I woke you. Go back to sleep."
With that, Yu Yachen took off her black suit jacket and placed it on the desk. Her long fingers moved to her chest, unfastening a few buttons.
Talulah hadn't lit the lamp, but in the darkness, the white-haired woman's semi-transparent white shirt outlined her well-proportioned figure, the elegant contours of her waist faintly visible.
At first, Talulah paid no mind to her undressing—she had to, to go to bed. But one jacket wasn't enough. As Talulah watched, Yu Yachen's hands moved to her pants.
"Wait! You're not... taking off your pants, are you?!"
Talulah's ears instantly turned red, and she quickly stopped her.
"My pants got dirty outside. They'll stain the bedsheets," Yu Yachen said, confused.
"There are... there are spare sleeping pants in the cabinet next to you! Go put those on!"
"No. I don't like using other people's things," Yu Yachen said, disgusted.
"Th-Then wrap this around you!"
Talulah quickly snatched her own blanket and threw it at Yu Yachen.
"Why?"
The thin blanket hit her in the face. Yu Yachen slowly formed a question mark.
"I-I... I'm just afraid you'll get cold..."
Talulah awkwardly looked away, her face flushing even deeper. Yu Yachen noticed her abnormal color.
In all these years, aside from her mother, Yu Yachen had never slept with another girl... no, wait. She had slept with Ch'en Huijie in high school.
She remembered Ch'en's reaction being almost identical to Talulah's. When she started to undress, Ch'en had insisted she wear something.
"..."
Talulah, calm down. Be normal. Your sexual orientation is correct. Even though Miss Yu is beautiful, you just met. You absolutely cannot have those kinds of thoughts about her!
While Talulah was trying to hypnotize herself, Yu Yachen had already finished undressing and climbed into bed with the blanket.
This time, it wasn't clothes pressed against her, but the white-haired woman's flawless skin. Just like the first half of the night, the single bed was so small that one person had to lie on their side. And so, Yu Yachen naturally used her as a large body pillow again.
"..."
Talulah felt like she had become a steam engine. Especially when she smelled that familiar fragrance and felt the other's skin brushing against her clothes... she felt her nose grow hot, as if something was about to... leak.
"Talulah."
"Hm? Ah?"
The sudden voice made her jump.
"Most of the people in your camp can't read, right? It looks like you just settled here, and the food situation is stable enough. Have you considered... holding classes for the Infected?"
Hearing a serious topic, the blush on Talulah's face faded. Her expression turned serious. After thinking for a moment, she replied:
"It's definitely necessary. I've been planning to organize an education group recently."
"Alina had the same idea. Why not let her be the leader?" Yu Yachen said.
"Alina? ...That's what I was thinking, too."
Talulah had considered this before. But, squeezed in the white-haired woman's embrace, she suddenly felt a pang of anxiety.
"Miss Yu... what do you think of Alina?"
As if possessed, she asked the question.
"Alina? She's a very good girl. Why?"
Sensing the hesitation in her voice, Yu Yachen suddenly opened her eyes.
"Nothing... just asking..."
Talulah didn't know why she had asked. She only knew the words had left her mouth before she could think.
"Alina and I... we've known each other for a long time. We were just neighbors back then. Later, when I wanted to leave home and build an organization to speak for the weak, she insisted on coming with me."
"Thank you... for taking care of Alina these past few days."
Yu Yachen felt a "sour" tone in her voice. The white-haired woman's emotional intelligence wasn't low; she just usually chose to ignore people.
"Speaking of which, Talulah... you're Infected, right? But you don't talk like an uncultured country person. Are you... nobility?"
"Ah? Uh... no, nothing like that," Talulah denied instinctively.
"If you don't want to talk about it, just pretend I didn't ask."
"No, no... it's just... a noble leading an Infected organization... it sounds a bit..."
"It's fine. I won't hold it against you just because you're a noble."
Yu Yachen smiled.
She suddenly raised her hand and cupped the Draco woman's cheeks.
"I think it's very cool. The reputation of some Ursus nobles is well-known... Instead of a life of debauchery, you chose to speak up for the suffering people at the bottom."
In the dim light, Yu Yachen's fingertips gently stroked Talulah's cheek. The Draco woman held her breath. The moonlight from the window provided a little light, and the white-haired woman's pale cyan eyes seemed to glow.
Yu Yachen suddenly leaned in, and her soft lips gently pecked Talulah's cheek.
"I almost admire you, you know?"
Talulah was also an important tool. Therefore, Yu Yachen needed to manage her favorability as well. To comfort her, she had thought of the simplest, fastest method.
"Miss Yu... let's not. I think... I think we should keep our distance."
Talulah suddenly turned her back to Yu Yachen, hiding her expression.
Heh. She's shy.
"Is that so?"
Yu Yachen looked at the system panel.
[System Notification: Talulah's favorability +10! Current favorability 55/100 (Her agitated Dragon's blood is rising. She's afraid she'll lose control!)]
[System Notification: Alina's favorability -10! Current favorability 70/100 (I haven't even gotten a kiss!)]
...System, are you serious?
[Okay, I made that last part up. Hehe. (´▽*)]
