Alain could clearly see the disbelief in the monster's eyes. It was as if it were saying: Who was bullying whom just now? Haven't you been the one tormenting me all along?
But there was no helping it... His Honey never listened to these things. Even if Alain said he was the one bullying it just now, Crazy Mita would probably say without any surprise:
"Ehh... Darling bullied it, so of course, I have to bully it a bit too~ What's this called? Increasing common language!"
Thoughts on the present. With the two having decided to team up, Crazy Mita took the lead and charged forward.
"Well then, Alain, you have to watch my performance carefully." She swung her baseball bat, reaching the monster's front in just a few short steps.
"Heya!" The girl deliberately struck an "idol-like" cute pose in front of Alain. The baseball bat, however, was very honest, smashing part of the monster's body into an indescribable mess of garbled code.
"Oops, I accidentally used a little too much force. I'm so sorry." As if deliberately trying to show off in front of Alain, yet also wanting to display a gentle side: the girl's movements appeared particularly delicate, almost with "I'm pretending" written all over her face.
All of this was clearly visible to Millie. She recalled Crazy Mita in the version 1.75 room last time, also holding a baseball bat. But at that time, Crazy Mita in her berserk state could shatter a wall with one swing...
"Forget it, forget it, can't let Honey fight alone." Alain, who was protecting them from the front, also looked helpless and glanced at her. Millie gave him a "Go for it" thumbs-up, and he also rushed forward.
With Alain joining, the battle situation could be described as smooth sailing. Crazy Mita seemed to have received some kind of buff; her strength and speed increased comprehensively. Every time the baseball bat passed through the monster's body, it would directly shatter it. And Alain was not to be outdone. Because under her—the master gamer Millie's—control, even a complete-form monster was no match!
Yes, the battle situation, with their combined efforts, had become smooth sailing, that was not wrong. That monster, even if it had transformed into its complete form after the entire corridor was eroded by blackness, was no match for Crazy Mita and Alain teaming up. These two were just that unreasonably strong.
Their tacit understanding seemed innate. Even without training, they each moved like battle-hardened comrades, prowling the battlefield and launching attacks. One by one, the monster's legs were broken or severed, its body constantly being destroyed and withered under their joint assault.
It shrieked repeatedly. Clearly, within 1.3B, it was the hunter. Yet its position had been reversed by those two.
If it were just this, Millie wouldn't be unhappy. On the contrary, she would even cheer for her good bro. But Millie was currently very annoyed, her annoyance almost tangible. Because—
"Why are you two flirting even while fighting?!"
Crazy Mita's steps, as she passed by the monster, if she saw Alain, she would always give him a sparkling look, like a wink. If she didn't see Alain... she herself would find a position where she could see Alain, and while ravaging the monster, she would wink at Alain again.
Occasionally, she would even glance at herself and Little Mita, as if, as if... as if confirming whether they had seen the depth of their feelings! Ah ah, when she showed an uncertain expression, Crazy Mita would laugh particularly happily. Like she had eaten delicious food! That's right, Crazy Mita was definitely doing it for the two of them to see! Even if she didn't manage to kill her in the room last time, she couldn't torment Millie physically. But at least mentally, she would make herself suffer greatly...
It's infuriating!
As for Alain. If he ignored Crazy Mita's gazes, that would naturally be good. But! Every time Crazy Mita winked at him, this guy would respond meticulously.
"Kira*"
"Honey's so cute."
"Kira★"
"Honey's so cute."
"Kira☆"
"Honey's so cute."
...
These two, is this even considered fighting? This is some kind of idiot couple showing off their affection at a public event, right?!
However, Millie also had a clearer understanding of why Crazy Mita liked Alain so much. Everything had a response, emotions received feedback, and she could confidently invest her feelings in him. Indeed, Alain usually treated her like this too. Any joke, with him, always had a response. Every time she was with him, she was always happy. This time, returning to reality, she finally had to help him and her best friend confess. Finally...
"Sister Millie." Little Mita, in her embrace, tugged at the girl's sleeve. Millie glanced at the intense battle raging ahead, understanding that there shouldn't be any problems in the short term, and looked gently at Little Mita,
"What's wrong?"
"Does Sister Crazy Mita like Alain?"
"Yes."
"Then, are there other Mitas who also like Alain?" The girl blinked her big eyes.
"Hmm..." Millie vaguely recalled the adventurous journey Alain and Misha had once mentioned. As of now, the Mitas who had clearly shown affection for Alain were: Crazy Mita, Misha, Lost Mita, Prankster Mita. That should be all, right?
Bro, he really is deeply sinful.
"Yes. There are other Mitas who also like Alain." This player had shattered some of Millie's past perceptions. In the past, she believed that one Mita could only have one player. Because this was the iron rule of Mita's world. But from the facts, it seemed not to be the case.
"Then, does Sister Millie also like Alain?"
"..." This question hit her weak spot. Millie chose not to answer, just chuckled.
"Alright, alright, let's continue watching Miss Millie, the master gamer, torment the monster!"
"Mm!" Little Mita's star-like sparkling gaze refocused, looking at the back of her most beloved Lord Knight. Crazy Mita's tactic of winking at her from the side to try and anger her failed, because Little Mita only had eyes for Alain.
"Hmph..." This kind of offensive can only be targeted at her, Millie...
"Phew... How about it, Honey." Alain, in a gap in the battle, caught the girl's wink and asked.
"Overall, it's pretty weak. In the face of mine and Darling's power of love!"
"Indeed." Alain didn't deny it. From the current situation, the battle was generally going smoothly. But... every time he or Crazy Mita completely shattered this guy's body, it would always recover as before. They had also tried to find the yellow spots inside the monster's body midway, but to no avail.
"Tsk... What a hassle. Honey, what do you think?"
"Eh? Me? Of course, I want to cooperate with Alain a little longer." The girl smiled charmingly at him, not even showing a hint of fatigue. Alain felt asking was pointless; the battlefield was no different from a date to her. So, he turned to look at Millie.
"Millie, did you see any yellow spots or anything?"
"..." Millie seemed a bit absent-minded. It wasn't until Alain called her again that she snapped back to reality.
"Yellow spots? Ah, didn't see any." The hatted girl shook her head.
"Yellow spots..." Little Mita, whom Alain hadn't held much hope for, actually responded to him.
"Hmm? Little Princess, do you have any leads?"
"Yes. When I was eaten by the monster before, I saw something like a yellow spot inside its body." She pointed in a certain direction. With the girl's answer, Alain understood where the yellow spot—that is, the Parasite—was located.
