I Will Never Submit to Miss Grim Reaper - Chapter 375
Chapter 375: A Gift Handmade by Xiao Mo
“This rune primarily means ‘reverse,’ but it also has a connotation of ‘rebellion,’ giving it a sense of ‘not following the usual path.’ Imagine if Nuo’er is obviously a little girl but insists she’s an uncle, constantly saying, ‘As an uncle, I do things this way.’ It’s that kind of feeling…”
“When have I ever insisted I’m an uncle? I clearly am one!”
“Yes, yes, that’s the feeling. Do you get it now? With that feeling, understand the rune and then draw it based on your intuition…”
In the quiet room on the sixth floor of the hotel, Xiao Mo and I sat facing each other on the large double bed.
Beneath me was a huge magic circle that flashed with purple arcs of electricity, with numerous runes constantly jumping around. Xiao Mo was using her magic to help me understand the so-called top-tier magic of the otherworld, “Forbidden Spell.”
Strictly speaking, this isn’t exactly a forbidden spell, it’s more like a “fragment of a forbidden spell.” Its main use is to utilize Xiao Mo’s “space transfer forbidden spell.” Without Xiao Mo’s magic, this thing is entirely useless.
It’s similar to… Xiao Mo building a bridge and an automatic railway between two continents. All we ordinary people have to do is learn how to get on the train and find a seat. The complexity isn’t even in the same league.
But that said, this learning magic is quite beautiful.
Sitting on the bed in a “duck sitting” position, I looked at the large magic rune array beneath me.
Because of my sitting position, my calf muscles were slightly compressed, making my legs look a bit chubby. My thighs were naturally spread, and beneath them was a rotating black and purple magic circle. From my perspective, it looked like…
It looked as if I had been captured by some evil force, and an evil demon king was using some magic to imprison me on the bed.
“Okay… I think I understand this rune.”
After numerous attempts guided by Xiao Mo, I finally managed to use the first “rebellion” rune of the forbidden spell based on my understanding. Watching the swirling symbols around me, which were hard to categorize as either “substance” or “light,” I nodded thoughtfully.
Speaking of which, the magic runes floating around in the other world are somewhat like the “flames” here on Earth, aren’t they? Unlike runes and magic circles, they have no physical form, you can’t touch them by reaching out. When you touch these runes, you can vaguely feel some kind of energy…
“And what about this rune? What does it specifically mean?”
“Well, this rune is a bit more responsible. It doesn’t belong to the broad category of rune energy, it’s more of a ‘concept’…”
“……”
“And this one, Nuo’er, learn from me. Stand up first, like when you summoned ‘Mobius Circle,’ just like that…”
“Awesome, Nuo’er learns very fast. I’m proud of you.”
“Hey, this tone of coaxing kids…”
“In my eyes, Nuo’er is still a child. Good, let’s try again. At this pace, after learning today, we’ll review a bit tomorrow and the day after. We’ll pick up the wedding dress from the previous town and then we can go back to our hometown.”
“……”
Xiao Mo and I practiced in the hotel for nearly two hours. Finally, with Xiao Mo saying, “Very good, let’s stop practicing the forbidden spell magic for today,” I leaned back and lay down on the soft hotel bed.
Learning forbidden spells turned out to be such a exhausting thing…
And this is just “scraps of forbidden spells.” Xiao Mo said my talent belongs to an unprecedented type, whether in comprehension or learning ability, faster than any mage she’s ever seen. If it were a real forbidden spell, who knows how many hundreds of years an ordinary person would need to learn it.
“What about the gift? Where’s the gift?”
After lying on the big bed for a while, I sat up and looked at Xiao Mo curiously, asking, “It’s not some weird food again, is it?”
“No, it’s not.”
Xiao Mo looked at me as if she were a daughter who scored a hundred on her exam and was proudly showing off to her mother. She smiled, turned around, unzipped her travel bag, and took out a set of… clothes?
“A little dress?”
Seeing this set of clothes with an obvious Lolita style, black and red in color, I was curious. “Did you buy it online?”
“As a reward for Nuo’er learning the forbidden spell magic, how could it be as simple as just buying it online?” Xiao Mo chuckled. “Try it on?”
“Come on, spill the beans. If it wasn’t bought online, did you sew it yourself?” I half-jokingly said, taking the clothes and spreading them out on the large bed.
So beautiful…
Seeing the overall appearance of the dress Xiao Mo handed me, I was momentarily captivated. Whether it’s a natural inclination of girls or not, ever since becoming “Yin Nuo’er,” I’ve had a special fondness for cute, sparkling, beautiful things. Like cats, dolls that only girls would like, the starry lights on the café roof, and all sorts of things that make people feel happy.
There has always been a saying that even girls like beautiful women, and I can testify to that—it’s true. Just like this Lolita dress Xiao Mo gave me, it’s really beautiful, so beautiful that I almost hesitate to wear it.
It’s the type with a built-in waistband, no shoulder straps, so a small part of the shoulders might be exposed when worn. There’s a particularly lovely bow at the chest, and around the waist of the skirt, besides various lace edges, there’s a red flower that looks like a rose.
Because there were already many similar little dresses at home, I’m quite familiar with dresses like Lolita dresses. But this piece of clothing in front of me is clearly incomparable to those at home. It… I can only use the word “exquisite” to describe it.
There are many dresses sold by unscrupulous merchants online that have poor texture, feel like plastic to the touch, and feel prickly when worn.
Compared to this set of clothes, it’s like the difference between ordinary stockings and velvet stockings. Just looking at this little dress, I can imagine how comfortable it would be to wear.
By the way, why do I feel like that red rose… seems alive?
“I sewed it myself. When I went back there before, I went to the Forest of Elves and got some materials from the Elf Queen.”
After that, what Xiao Mo said stunned me as I sat on the large bed.
“Before, when I was browsing online shops, I saw many similar dresses, but the prices felt like the materials weren’t very good. So when I went back, I borrowed some of the best silk from the Elf Queen and made this whole outfit.”
As she spoke, Xiao Mo also took out from her travel bag some shoes and pantyhose that matched the theme color of the dress and handed them to me.
“After finishing the dress, I also applied a certain blessing magic on it.”
“You can think of it as a protective suit that can withstand magic below the forbidden spell level, and most weapons cannot penetrate it.”
“……”
