Zenless Zone Zero: I'm a Succubus in Sixth Street

Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Petting the Little Kitty



As expected, the anticipated situation did not occur. After Nicole dealt with the two Red Fang Gang members through her exquisite rhetoric and schemes, she was just about to continue her escape. But little did she know, another group of Red Fang Gang members was on their way.

Fortunately, Koma's appearance rescued Nicole from her predicament. Although it was unclear why those men never thought to search the immediate vicinity, Nicole and Koma managed to escape the pursuit. The two of them then left the Hollow together and found Billy and Anby waiting outside.

Upon learning that Koma was a new client, Billy praised Nicole with a tone of immense admiration, saying that her ability to land a job in such a situation made her a "role model for our generation."

(This line was really funny, so I wrote it in.)

The rest of the content involved Koma commissioning the Cunning Hares to help her find a so-called "family heirloom," though this clearly didn't seem to be the truth. From the video playback, Wise could identify several suspicious points, but so far, he couldn't see Koma's true motive. At the very least, she hadn't actually done anything detrimental to Nicole and her team; otherwise, she wouldn't have been referred to them.

As Wise was thinking, he subconsciously reached out and stroked the chin of Koma, who was beside him, just as one would casually pet a cat. In reality, it wasn't that he intentionally wanted to touch her; it was just that when people are deep in thought, their bodies sometimes unconsciously perform strange actions.

And as for Koma, who was having her chin stroked...

"Meow~ Mroww~"

Mmm, it seemed she was feeling very comfortable, as she was actually making purring sounds just like a little kitten. And perhaps because it was too comfortable, Koma even climbed halfway onto Wise's lap, lying there with a look of pure enjoyment.

At this point, Wise also felt that something was amiss. Looking at the now completely "tamed" Koma before him, he was at a loss for what to do. Speaking of which, he had always had a strong affinity for cats. Could it be that his charm value also provided a bonus in this area? Mmm, if the charm for humans and the charm for cats were both acting on Koma, a situation like this might really be possible.

But since things had already come to this, Wise didn't know how he should stop and explain it to Koma. He could only go with the flow and try to make her as comfortable as possible.

...and Belle, who was staring at Wise with a terrifying gaze, a gaze that seemed to be questioning his every action.

"Brother, what are you doing??"

Belle never would have imagined that in the short moment her attention was drawn to the video, her brother had already managed to hook up with another girl. And the efficiency and progress were so fast! If she didn't intervene now, she feared this girl named Koma would be completely scammed without even knowing it.

Forced by Belle's stare, Wise had no choice but to stop what he was doing. Koma, who had been lying on Wise's lap with a blissful expression, finally got up after composing herself for a good while. After getting up, her face immediately turned red, and she turned her back to him, not daring to look at Wise's face at all. At the same time, a sense of fear crept into her heart.

...(Content Deleted)... just like what happened later, she wouldn't have been able to resist at all.

'This is so embarrassing! If anyone brings this up again, it'll be incredibly awkward! Please, just forget about it! Everyone, just forget this ever happened!'

This was what Koma was thinking in her heart. And Wise, who saw her inner thoughts, quietly began to confer with his sister. At first, Belle was a bit angry when her brother suggested they act as if nothing had happened. After all, how could they pretend nothing happened when something like that had just occurred?

But on second thought, if they brought up such an embarrassing incident again, Koma herself would feel terrible, right? In that case, she could only hope that everyone would be tactful about it.

Thus, under these circumstances, after a little while, the three of them really did act as if nothing had happened and continued to sit in front of the computer to watch the rest of the video. Of course, this "nothing happened" scenario required one to ignore Koma's slightly flushed face and her gaze that constantly avoided Wise's.

The video playback continued. On the screen, the members of the Cunning Hares and Koma were shown defeating several guards together and then beginning to rummage through a pile of junk. However, the result was that besides Billy finding what he considered a treasure—a shiny, limited-edition badge of the "coolest, strongest Starlight Knight of the last 10 years"—they had no other gains.

"Sigh, Billy, you're really something else... Koma, did you find anything?"

"Ah, yes, yes! Let me see how much money is in this very valuable-looking wallet..."

Looking at the familiar wallet in Koma's hand, Anby was startled. She subconsciously felt her own pocket, only to find it empty.

"! My wallet! Did you pickpocket me while I was searching the boxes? Give it back!" Anby's voice was tense, as if the wallet contained some incredible secret. This, in turn, made Koma even more curious.

"Who's to blame but you for looking so reluctant while you were searching? Eh? This is weird. It makes sense for you to have Nicole's photo in your wallet, but who is this handsome boy?" Koma pulled a photo out of the wallet. The person in it was clearly Wise.

"A photo of me? This angle... when was this taken?"

"Even you don't know? My, my, Anby seems so proper, but it turns out she's a secret photo-taker." Koma said with surprise upon seeing Wise's clueless expression. But the latter was clearly more defensive of Anby.

"Not really. Although I didn't know about it, I never said Anby wasn't allowed to take photos of me."

Hearing Wise's words, Koma couldn't help but pout, seemingly feeling a bit jealous that Wise was so concerned about Anby.
