Time in a collapsing world

The pink-haired girl in front of me is very attractive in her outfit, a color-blocked long-sleeved T-shirt with a pink cardigan, which looks both fashionable and harmonious. Her pleated skirt sways in the wind, revealing youthful vitality, giving people a fresh feeling of a female college student.

Alicia put the little ball of Hom back on the top of the "hill", and then she saw the predicament of the two people and kindly showed them the direction of the storage place.

Zijing thanked her and left with Theresa, but as they walked, the familiar footsteps still followed them.

Theresa and Amethyst whispered, "Jing, do you know this sister? She's so pretty... and her ears, is she cosplaying some character?"

"I guess I know her. I met her by chance when I was on a mission before. She's just an ordinary person." Amethyst didn't want Theresa to have anything to do with the people from Moth. Although she was now a lovely granddaughter in Otto's eyes, who knew what the ruthless bishop would do after she was discovered?

"Then why is she following us? It shouldn't just be because she's on the way, right? Is there something she needs our help with?" Just by looking at her appearance, Theresa didn't think that the pink-haired girl behind her was someone with bad intentions, so she asked.

"...I'll ask later. Now put these things down."

"All right……"

When they arrived at the storage room, the staff there saw Amethyst and Theresa walking over with a bunch of Homunculus dolls and peripheral merchandise, and immediately came up to them, smiling and asking if they needed help storing their belongings.

Zijing nodded, indicating that they needed to use the storage service. The staff skillfully guided them to an empty locker and helped them put all the items into the locker one by one. Theresa carefully put her special prize, the oversized Hum pillow, into the locker, and then the staff locked the locker and handed them a key.

"Please keep the key and use it to retrieve your belongings when you come back," the staff member instructed.

Amethyst took the key, put it in her pocket, and thanked the staff again.

"Theresa, please wait for me here."

Zijing looked at the girl waiting against the wall outside, her legs wrapped in white stockings crossed, humming a song. She didn't care even though the area was already filled with tourists who were attracted by her beauty and didn't want to leave.

"Oh……"

Theresa responded very obediently, but she watched Zijing walk quickly over to talk to the beautiful sister, and her big blue eyes narrowed unconsciously.

There is something fishy...

"Ms. Alicia, you haven't answered my previous question yet. Why are you in a place like this?"

Zijing really didn't want to be disturbed during his vacation, but looking at the girl in front of him, he couldn't show any impatience. On the one hand, it was the other party's identity, but on the other hand, he really couldn't speak to such a girl in that tone.

"I came here with some friends. There are some beautiful girls here, some of whom you have seen before, but some are new faces. If you are interested, I can introduce them to you~?" Alicia stood up straight and patted the dust on her back. She smiled brightly and it was hard to tell whether she was lying or not.

"Your friends? Where are they now? You just followed us here, aren't you afraid that your friends won't be able to find you?" Zijing was only 50% sure that what Alicia said was nonsense.

"It's okay. I've already told them that we'll go our separate ways for now. After all, seeing you and the cute little white-haired girl beside you, I have no choice but to reluctantly postpone the opportunity to date those beautiful girls until next time~?"

"..."

Damn it, what she said, Zijing had no idea whether Alicia came to find her specifically this time, or was targeting Theresa... But she was 100% sure that this time they definitely didn't just meet by chance.

"Can I join? After all, it's too lonely to go to the amusement park alone. If there is a kind and handsome boy willing to take me with him, I will be very happy~?"

"I think you should like little beauties more... Look, there's a beautiful girl behind you!"

"Where where?"

While Alicia was turning her head, Amethyst was about to turn around and pull Theresa away first, but the next moment when she turned her back to the girl, Amethyst felt a gentle but hard-to-break-away grip on her shoulder.

"It's not good to lie. Some of Li's habits appear in you, but you can't keep everything. In Hua's words, it's to take the essence and discard the dross... At least don't learn from him and become a child who likes to lie, okay~?"

[Moth] did obtain a lot of information in his research on Amethyst. No one could have imagined that two people who were only connected by genes actually had a deep connection beyond this level.

"Ms. Alicia, what are you talking about? I rarely lie. I prefer to communicate directly and frankly." Amethyst felt the grip on her shoulder disappear, so she turned around with a smile and made a weak defense in a relaxed tone.

"Ah, Li used this tone to argue before, it's exactly the same~?" Alicia clapped her hands. This time she really saw more of Li's shadow in Zijing.

"..."

Zijing muttered a few words and stopped talking. She turned and walked towards Theresa. Alicia followed briskly, knowing that he had tacitly allowed her to follow.

Theresa was watching the two people not far away, kicking the stones beside her with her toes. When she saw the two people coming together, her originally happy mood turned into a little unhappy.

"Theresa, she..."

"Will this sister join us too?"

Theresa interrupted Zijing, with a barely perceptible coldness in her voice. She tried to hide her emotions, but the reluctance in her tone still showed.

"Yes, please give me your advice. My name is Alicia, and as the name suggests, I am a lovely girl like you~?" Alicia could see Theresa's wariness towards her. She chuckled softly in her heart and felt that the girl in front of her was even cuter.

Theresa didn't expect that she would praise herself while praising herself, and she immediately forgot all the words she was going to say in response. She was stunned for a long time, and then she could only say dryly: "Hello, my name is Theresa..."

Alicia saw Theresa's embarrassment and a hint of amusement flashed across her eyes. "Theresa, that's a very good name too. The person who gave it this name must have good taste~?"

As she spoke, Alicia winked playfully at Amethyst beside her, but the latter pretended not to see it.
