“Haha, stupid Tao Tao, loser Tao Tao~”
The mesugaki in the car’s projection laughed. Her chibi image doubled over with laughter, and she even unmuted herself as the others watched.
“Waaaah, I’m sorry! I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to!”
Tao Tao was on the verge of tears.
Just as she thought Su Ling would be furious, she heard a sigh.
“Sigh, it’s fine. We’ll just consider it sightseeing. Use my phone for navigation, if you don’t mind,” Su Ling said, handing over her phone.
“Hmph, who are you looking down on?!”
The mesugaki was instantly displeased and tried to invade Su Ling’s phone.
However, she slammed right into a firewall.
“Hmm?”
Light-years away on Azure Star, Rou Rou suddenly looked up.
“What’s wrong?”
Yun Guang, who was currently sucking on a popsicle, asked curiously.
“It’s nothing. A firewall I set up earlier was just triggered… Argh! Don’t hit me! Don’t hit me!”
Distracted, Rou Rou’s character on her phone screen was immediately caught in a bad timing by her opponent and knocked out.
Rou Rou’s face turned visibly red with frustration.
She pulled down her goggles, her consciousness sinking instantly into cyberspace.
In the digital realm, the mesugaki was clutching her head, glaring at the firewall in Su Ling’s phone with an annoyed expression.
‘Damn it!’
“It’s you, isn’t it?”
Suddenly, Rou Rou’s avatar appeared.
She transformed into a 100-meter giant, picked up the mesugaki, and examined her closely.
Her face suddenly filled with shock.
“What kind of thing are you?”
She wasn’t a digital lifeform or an electronic virus.
Why did she feel more like a living soul?
But how was that possible?
In cyberspace, everything was data.
Even if there were digital lifeforms, they shouldn’t have souls.
“Bleh, none of your business! Loser, loser~”
The mesugaki made a face, then her body dissolved into countless green streams of data before quickly vanishing.
Rou Rou was left standing there, questioning her life.
By the Original, that was truly ghostly.
—
Tao Tao sat in the driver’s seat as if facing a great enemy.
But after waiting for a long time, the mesugaki’s punchable voice didn’t ring out.
Furthermore, as she held Su Ling’s phone, she realized she could use the navigation normally.
Tears immediately began streaming down her face.
This gave Su Ling a start.
‘Seriously, is it that deep?’
“Are you… okay?”
“Waaaah, I’m fine, I’m fine. I’m just too emotional.”
Tao Tao wiped her tears.
No one knew what she had been through this past month.
One month ago, she just wanted to read a webnovel.
She had found a book titled something like *Battle Loli Continent*.
After reading a few chapters, she couldn’t take it anymore and prepared to exit.
However, that webnovel website was a shady third-party site filled with pictures of large butts.
Without paying attention, she accidentally clicked on one of them.
And thus, her month-long nightmare began.
The connection launched instantly, and an installation package was downloaded at lightning speed.
Immediately after, that damned mesugaki occupied all her electronic devices.
No matter what methods she used, how many antivirus programs she bought, or even how many times she asked her instructors and seniors, their first reaction was always ‘What is this?’ followed by an expression of helplessness.
Fortunately, this mesugaki only seemed to enjoy pranking her…
Well, if controlling her devices to raise the water temperature to 100 degrees while she showered, constantly flickering the lights like some atmospheric strobes while she slept at night, suddenly turning on the speakers at 4:00 AM or 5:00 AM to scare the soul out of her, or automatically opening her computer to play over 1 billion terabytes of “good stuff” videos when seniors came over to visit counted as pranks…
Then Tao Tao would rather find a ceiling and have a game of tug-of-war with her own neck.
After hearing Tao Tao’s grievances, Su Ling and Su Yao exchanged a glance.
Both felt deep sympathy for her.
If they put themselves in her shoes, they probably would have gone insane within a few days of being haunted by such a thing.
“Did you ever think about finding… uh, a professional?”
“Sigh, it’s useless. Besides, I’m almost out of money.”
Tao Tao started crying again as she spoke.
She hadn’t earned any money for almost a month.
If she didn’t get some cash soon, she would have to live off the wind.
“You have reached your destination. Que-de Navigation is happy to serve you.”
Fortunately, this time there was no interference from the mesugaki.
The mechanical system voice of Que-de Navigation came from Su Ling’s phone.
This stiff, robotic voice sounded like celestial music to Tao Tao’s ears.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t her phone.
She felt like crying again.
“Don’t lose heart. Try to look on the bright side. Maybe change jobs?”
Su Ling got out of the car and took back her phone, checking it urgently as well.
‘Good, good. No mesugaki.’
That was too ridiculous.
‘Are all the people in the Witch Academy such weirdos?’
“But… but aside from being a decent driver, I don’t know how to do anything else.”
Tao Tao was about to cry.
In this witch society that focused so much on looks, even for a cashier position, the managers would show a look of disgust upon seeing her short and frumpy loli figure.
She really envied Su Ling.
With such a good appearance, many maid cafés in Xinbai would be scrambling to hire her.
Su Ling also felt a bit helpless.
She simply sent an extra ten moni when she paid the fare.
She couldn’t help it; her own situation was precarious.
Out of the 500,000 moni government subsidy, she had to set aside 400,000 for four years of tuition.
After deducting the upcoming rent and other expenses, there wouldn’t be much left.
Sigh, she was still poor.
But at least it was better than before.
Looking at the extra ten moni Su Ling gave, Tao Tao wept with gratitude.
She watched Su Ling and Su Yao’s departing figures and wiped her tears.
She clenched her small pink fists, and hope for life rose within her once more.
“Oh my, what’s this? Wild pocket change? Tee-hee, loser Tao Tao is such a loser. You’re thinking about me that much?”
Just then, the chibi image of the mesugaki appeared cheekily on her phone screen.
Under Tao Tao’s stunned gaze, she began to munch on the twenty moni.
Quickly, the twenty became zero.
“Ta-da! Magic trick!”
Tao Tao’s eyes rolled back.
Find someone!
She had to find a professional!
Even if she had to sell herself to the Witch’s Hut, she would take out a loan to find help.
Aaaagh, that was her precious money!
Before, she could endure it because the mesugaki hadn’t touched her money.
But just now, seeing her money turn into zero felt like being tied to a bed and watching her own wife being ravaged by a delinquent while she remained powerless.
“Loser, loser! Is that all?”
The mesugaki mocked.
But when she confirmed that Tao Tao had actually fainted, she couldn’t help but scratch her head.
“Eh, she really fainted?”
She moved aside.
The moni that had been zero just a moment ago returned to twenty.
She didn’t have the ability to break through the witch’s transaction system yet; it had just been an illusion.
“Hmm, I guess I went a bit too far.”
“Tch, what a loser.”
—
Su Ling seemed to have underestimated her own physical appearance.
Xinbai was a commercial street.
However, it seemed to be dominated by maid cafés with romance themes.
Looking around, there were signs everywhere of pink cat-girls making finger hearts.
Many little cat-girls in very revealing maid outfits stood by the entrances.
Every time a pedestrian passed by, they would cling to their arms and act spoiled.
Weak-willed witches would soon walk into the cafés with a dazed grin, only to be ruthlessly drained of their cash by the maids.
With nervous hearts, Su Ling and Su Yao found a maid café that didn’t have maids soliciting outside the door.
‘They should… probably be shorthanded, right?’
After explaining their purpose to the receptionist, the young lady’s eyes immediately lit up.
Especially when she heard that Su Yao and Su Ling were actually a mother and daughter, her face flushed with excitement.
“Um… Can we…?” Su Ling asked nervously.
She didn’t want to be a Fuli Ji anymore.
While being pinned down by beautiful girls was great, there was a limit.
Every night when she went home during the past month, her legs were jelly.
“Of course! I’ll call our manager right now!”
The receptionist locked the door immediately.
By the Original, the pair of sisters next door was already so popular.
And while these two looked like sisters, they were actually mother and daughter—
The receptionist could already see the scene of her shop exploding with popularity.
