I Will Never Submit to Miss Grim Reaper - Chapter 400

Chapter 400: The Heart-stealing Miss Grim Reaper

In the nighttime, the steady rain gradually intensified.

Inside this large house with poor sound insulation, I could distinctly hear the pattering of raindrops on the road and the rustling of leaves and branches outside.

Objects inside the house, glowing like night pearls, and various peculiar fruit-shaped props seemed to remind me: this isn’t Earth, it’s once Xiao Mo’s homeland, and in a certain sense, mine too.

This room originally had two windows, but Nida, citing safety concerns, sealed one of them. The remaining window was covered with a frosted glass-like material, allowing only a vague view of the pitch-black night outside and occasional flashes of lightning.

“Boom—”

Although it’s another world, the thunderstorm here feels much like Earth’s, except… with many eerie shades of purple and blue.

These purple and blue lights are said to be the so-called “magic storms”. They are a phenomenon where magical elements, floating in the air, gather in large quantities for some reason, exceeding the density the space can bear. This leads to repulsive and attractive reactions, magical explosions, energy impacting everything, forming a terrifying weather phenomenon.

Similar to Earth’s ball lightning and such, in short, even the people here haven’t figured out the specific reasons. Simply put, if encountered, one must fully prepare because it’s a super terrifying natural disaster.

Even on Earth, with its advanced technology, the specific causes of climate formations like earthquakes, tsunamis, lightning storms, and tornadoes aren’t fully understood. Here in the other world, almost no one specializes in these things, so naturally, they understand even less about magic storms.

?Today, with Xiao Mo’s help, I successfully arrived in the other world. There may have been a location deviation, ending up on a large island known as the “Land of Exile”, where many lizardfolk live, both herbivorous and carnivorous. I met Nida, a descendant of humans and lizardfolk. She claims to be a little inventor and also a mage, deeply interested in both magic and science. Still a worshipper of Xiao Mo.?

Carefully glancing at Nida in the opposite room, absorbed in writing and drawing on parchment with a traditional brush, I took off the angelic halo given to me by Gabriel, placed it above my head, lightly touched it, and it lit up.

Suddenly, the room, which was originally somewhat dim, brightened up instantly. The gift from the Angel Clan could adjust its brightness freely, it was said that at its brightest level, it could rival some high-power light bulbs, making it impossible to open one’s eyes. With my current level of magic, keeping this halo glowing to illuminate the room was not a big problem.

I picked up my pen and continued recording on the notebook I brought with me:

?Originally, I thought if I were transported to the wilderness, I might face several days of survival difficulties. However, it seems I’m quite lucky. I encountered locals when I arrived, and she even speaks the language of the Elven Clan, solving the communication problem?

?Speaking of which, I never thought that Xiao Mo, who is always rigorous and omnipotent in my eyes, would make mistakes. From this perspective, Xiao Mo is not an all-powerful deity. It’s my chance to counterattack?

?As long as Xiao Mo is not an omniscient and omnipotent deity, then I can strive to become a more powerful existence than her. Then it will be my turn to perform water magic!?

?Another thing that surprised me is that people in this other world don’t seem to be as hostile as described in most novels. It feels like my life experiences have been correct all along. Except for a few weird humans, in reality, there aren’t many idiots actively looking for trouble to get slapped in the face, otherwise such things wouldn’t make the news or become bizarre anecdotes after dinner?

?Or is it just the lizardfolk in this other world? At least I feel the lizardfolk are quite honest. Most humans in the human cities should be similar, right??

As I wrote these words, I recalled “Uncle Bei,” whom I had encountered in the editor Tuzi group and at comic conventions shortly after I had just become a girl.

Those kinds of people would probably be classified as members of the “eccentric humans.” They act alone, firing broadsides at males using female avatars in the group chats. In real life, while they may not speak as arrogantly, they’re still different from most people. In the end, they even ended up in jail for theft…

Apart from a few individuals like that, at least during my time working at the café, I haven’t encountered those who actively seek trouble.

Speaking harshly and proudly spewing profanity at others online is common, but rare in real life. It seems most people still care somewhat about their reputation.

?Although I’ve encountered a few minor surprises, I’ve also made new friends in this other world. Nida has very beautiful eyes, somewhat resembling Fei Luo, and her tail looks quite well-groomed. Unfortunately, our current relationship… I can’t just casually touch someone else’s tail like that. Be a lady, be a lady…?

?The lizardfolk’s ability to change color seems incredibly practical in the forest, effortlessly achieving optical invisibility. The trade-off is that they can’t wear too much clothing. Actually, the first time I met her, I felt Nida was quite attractive. She had just a few pieces of fabric on her, which if she were in our country on Earth, any photo uploaded online would easily be flagged as adult content?

I glanced cautiously once again at Nida on the other side of the room.

She had displayed many peculiar toys, as she had mentioned herself, truly enjoying inventing and innovating. She was quite curious about magical sciences.

At this moment, two thick lenses were placed by her window, resembling some form of prototype telescope. The little lizard girl was writing on parchment while peering through these two huge lenses at the purple sky outside.

Earlier in the day, Nida had been excited to hear that Fei Luo and I were good friends, but after I pointed out the “windmill structure” to her, she immediately immersed herself in the study of the “steering wheel plus wind magic device.” She didn’t pester me about Fei Luo or Xiao Mo’s situation. It seems in her mind, the position of idol is secondary to her passion for invention and curiosity.

?Recording some interesting plants I encountered today in the other world—here, the mushrooms are very large. There are blue ones, purple ones, yellow ones, and the purple mushrooms even have a nozzle in front, somewhat like the “Gloom-shroom” from Plants vs. Zombies. Nida mentioned that these mushrooms emit hallucinogenic gas, and some humans like to find them in the wild to numb themselves, similar to being addicted to drinking alcohol.?

?Inside the lizardfolk village, they cultivate some luminescent plants. I didn’t dare to approach them. There are also some small hunting dogs here, very friendly, not barking loudly. They have large tongues and a less appealing appearance, probably kept by the lizardfolk to guard against wolves.?

?In the house arranged by Nida, there’s plenty to eat. There are two large buckets of water, said to be from an underground spring, suitable for bathing or drinking directly. There are also many strange fruits, including a hard fruit resembling a coconut that I really like, and a white fruit similar to a strawberry, colored like the legendary “Alice,” in white, light yellow, and light blue, with a sweet and fragrant taste. I wonder if these fruits could be successfully cultivated on Earth if brought back.?

?By the way, can I bring back some of the especially delicious fruits from this other world? Ouyang Xue seems to enjoy planting flowers and plants. I could surround the café with these fruits from the other world. If properly protected, it shouldn’t lead to species invasion, right??

?It’s so strange. Normally, when I return home, I get bullied by Xiao Mo in various ways. Every time after showering and going to bed, I end up all wet. Several times, I’ve complained that without her, I’d sleep more soundly. But now that Xiao Mo isn’t around, I can’t seem to sleep at all. It’s so uncomfortable…?

?Have I developed some kind of… dependency syndrome??

I put down my pen as I reached this point, looking at the densely packed pages in my notebook. Subconsciously, I stuck out my tongue. Speaking of which, the benefits of using a loli font are that when writing diaries or essays, looking back on them later feels especially comforting.

People who write well always make others feel happy when they read what they’ve written. Although the “loli font” I’m used to may seem somewhat childish, the strokes and proportions of the characters are very neat, definitely a plus in compositions.

“……”

Hmm… Let’s stop here for today. Judging by the rain outside, I guess I’ll be falling asleep to the sound of thunder all night.

Putting my notebook and pen back into my bag, I walked to the door, gently closing it behind me. Sitting on the wooden bed, I bent over, unfastened my belt, took off my shoes, and placed them at the foot of the bed. Then I lifted my skirt, removed the petticoat underneath. Finally, I took off my beret and lace sleeves from my arms.

Although in novels the outfit I’m wearing now is a complete set, the real protective function lies in the Lolita dress itself. Accessories like the hat, petticoat, and little shoes provide additional protection. Removing them reduces the “set effect 7” to “set effect 3”, and the set effect itself only adds things like “1 point of health” or “1 point of agility”, which are insignificant.

After removing the white petticoat from under the Lolita dress, the skirt didn’t look as “puffy” and could be seen as a short-sleeved nightgown.

From this perspective, I really do like this outfit.

What’s the biggest advantage of being a girl? Of course, it’s being able to sleep in pretty and cute little dresses!

When you sleep, your whole body feels soft, your clothes are light and airy, and your mood becomes super good—of course, boys can also wear little dresses at home, which are much more comfortable than regular pajamas.

“Knock, knock…”

Just as I took off the petticoat and hat, there came a knock at the door.

“Please come in.”

Amidst the pouring rain, Nida pushed open the door. “Am I disturbing you?”

“No, not at all.” I smiled and shook my head. “Just finished up my own things, so I’m free. What’s up?”

“Well, it’s just…”

The little lizard girl, wearing only a pair of shorts and two pieces of cloth on her chest, cautiously walked in.

“I was thinking… um… Diwu, could you tell me about your stories with Lady Momo and Lady Fei Luo?”

“Sure.”

I gestured towards a small stool at the end of the bed. “Take a seat.”

“Fei Luo is the Black Dragon Princess. I don’t know much about her, just that she’s an optimistic and cheerful dragon. As for Momo, I can tell you some of her stories…”

I glanced out the window and fell silent for a moment.

“Momo… she’s actually a fool.”

“A charming fool.”

“……”
