"Miss Xia Xin..." Sally placed her hand on Xia Xin's thigh, her cheeks flushed slightly as she whispered, "I've felt this way since we first met... You're just so adorable, Miss Xia Xin~"
Watching Sally's face draw closer, Xia Xin froze.
Why does everyone act like this! Did you drink succubus juice too?
No, that couldn't be. Sally never had access to such things.
Could it be that beneath her angelically pure personality, she hid this side?
Though fallen angels are still angels.
But Sally's sudden move must have a reason!
Was it the alchemical liquid? No, that had no such effect.
Or had Xia Xin messed up her magic earlier?
She was certain she hadn't—and she didn't even know that kind of spell.
Then the only answer left was...
["Sorceress's Earring" effect activated.]
So it was this accessory!
Xia Xin startled. Was this the "special effect" described? Way too intense! Please, give more Sorceress set pieces next time... No, not the time for that.
The real problem: how to remove this effect.
All attacks and skills triggered it—even healing magic... Wait, things were worsening. No time to think!
Xia Xin's hands were pinned down. She struggled fiercely but couldn't budge Sally... How? Her physique had been enhanced multiple times!
Seeing her 5% mana, Xia Xin understood.
With so little mana left, not collapsing was thanks to alchemical potion boosts.
Gulp... Passing out would be worse. Then, whatever Sally did, she couldn't resist—not even a little. Left completely at her mercy.
Though she couldn't resist now anyway.
"Miss Xia Xin..." Sally smiled faintly, leaning close to her cheek. The warmth of her breath brushed Xia Xin's skin, stirring a strange sensation.
Aaaah, don't come closer!
Being forced like this would be so unfair!
After surviving the Holy Knight Commander, interrogators, Demon King, Holy Maiden... so many crises, only to be overpowered by the seemingly harmless, purest Hero.
This made no sense!
But... gotta admit, Sally had an amazing figure...
Up close, Xia Xin noticed how great it was without that bulky uniform. Her waist was slender enough to wrap hands around, thighs and hips curved perfectly, chest swelling visibly—even glimpsing inside her collar from this angle...
Damn it! Why does everyone have bigger ones than me!
Tears filled Xia Xin's eyes.
Slightly thick tears streamed down uncontrollably.
No, she was getting closer. She couldn't resist—
*Thump!*
Sally hugged Xia Xin tightly, whispering in her ear, "Miss Xia Xin, thank you... Um, even unconscious, I felt your magic helping me."
"Huh?" Xia Xin never expected this. Her bubbling excitement faded. She coughed twice. "Ahem, it's what I should do. Without you, I wouldn't have survived the alchemical liquid."
As expected, Sally was such a pure maiden. Even under the Sorceress's Earring effect, she did nothing extreme...
If it were Xila, Xia Xin would be lying back enjoying it right now.
"Um... Miss Xia Xin..." Sally said softly.
"What is it?"
"Um... I'm not sure if I should say this... I have a small request..."
"Just say it," Xia Xin smiled. "If I can help, I will."
"Well..." Sally stepped back, looking away. "Since Kebento Factory was destroyed... I have no job. Could you... introduce me to a better one? Hard work is fine—as long as the pay is high!"
That's it?
Xia Xin was stunned.
Such a simple request, but she definitely... couldn't promise it!
She was the Calamity Witch! Here less than a week—how could she know high-paying jobs?
Still, Kebento Factory paid fifty gold coins monthly—high for Sally. Xia Xin recalled a faster way: in Nobles Town, she'd earned a hundred gold in one night.
Hmm... but Sally was a little angel. How could she do that?
Besides, Sally was the Hero here!
Not becoming famous, hiding as a small employee?
Xia Xin wondered why Sally needed money. In the original game, as Hero, even poor, it shouldn't be this bad—working at Kebento Factory.
Remembering Sally's earlier reluctance, Xia Xin didn't press. She pulled 500 gold coins from her bag. "Take these for now. I'll find you a job."
"Wow!" Sally's eyes lit up.
Five hundred gold coins!
At Kebento Factory, it'd take ten months—plus deducted wages. This bag equaled two years of work!
After hesitation, Sally shook her head. "No... I can't accept this. Um... give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach him to fish, feed him for life. I can't take charity!"
"Don't be stubborn," Xia Xin tapped her head. "This isn't important to me. It solves your emergency... Don't worry, it's a loan. You'll repay me later."
Xia Xin saw Sally's strong pride—so she phrased it this way. Repayment wasn't needed.
She was the Calamity Witch! With her skills, "taking" pocket money from rich merchants or officials was reasonable—and easy.
Robbing the rich to help the poor. Xia Xin felt like the world's greatest do-gooder.
"Repay?" Sally whispered, staring at her. "M-Miss Xia Xin... you're not going to... k-keep me as your mistress, are you?"
Pfft... What are you thinking, kid!
Though... it's not like it's impossible...
