Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 490 - 491: The Grand Plan [2/2]

"Alright, be careful and make your preparations. You’re not as strong as you need to be."

"Understood, Your Grace."

After a few more exchanges, Sebastian ended the conversation with the Duke of Black Rose. To save face and keep everyone from freaking out, he chose not to mention that Mengxi had successfully invaded Yumo’s bedroom.

Next, Sebastian glanced at Wando, who was curled up on the floor clutching his sore butt. Figuring the ’lesson’ had been learned, he didn’t pick up the club again. Instead, his attention shifted to the blue-haired maid who had just stepped out from a room upstairs.

"What’s the update?"

"It’s done."

The maid replied respectfully, holding a round magical device in her hands.

"Sebastian, this newly acquired magical device worked well. It collected residual magical traces and even hair from the ’perpetrator’ in the room."

"Okay, so what’s the analysis?"

"The one who trashed our room is from the Dragon race."

"Dragons?!"

"Yes, the device detected dragon aura, and we also found some light golden hair. Considering the people who entered the apartment yesterday, the ’perpetrator’ is likely Yuan’er’s new friend. Normally, we’d need more tests, but I’m pretty sure we’ve got our culprit."

"That dragon brat..."

"Yes, the one who keeps saying ’The Might Me’ and ’us’ and seems kinda clueless."

"..."

Remembering the little blonde girl Yuan’er had brought into the apartment, Sebastian couldn’t help but cringe.

Is this what they mean by a ’troublemaker child’? Trashing a room like that? She’s almost as bad as Limo.

"Sigh..."

Sebastian rubbed his temples.

"I’m happy Yuan’er has a friend, especially at her age. Kids should grow up with friends. And that dragon girl seems harmless enough, probably doesn’t know who Yuan’er really is. But, the friend she’s made is a home-wrecker! What do we do if she influences Yuan’er for the worse? Among Yumo’s kids, Yuan’er is like a little angel. If she ends up more like Limo, that would be a disaster."

Sebastian started thinking about how to prevent such a ’tragedy’ from happening.

Sebastian knew that breaking up Yuan’er’s friendship with that dragon girl was a no-go. Yuan’er had always wanted a good friend, and now that she finally had one, forcing them to part ways would just break her heart.

That’s not an option.

So, the only other way was to get the dragons to educate one of their own, especially if she’s from the high-ranking Sacred Dragon lineage. If those lizard folks can’t bring up their dragon kid right and she ends up being a bad influence on Yuan’er...

"Hehehe~..."

Thinking about this, Sebastian let out a creepy laugh that even gave the Black Rose members around him the chills.

Meanwhile, as Sebastian was planning to talk to the dragon bigwigs, a little blonde girl with dragon horns was pacing nervously on top of a library in the school campus. She kept looking towards an academic building, watching a dark-haired girl enter it. This dragon girl was none other than our Sacred Dragon ’Queen’.

Only now, she wasn’t hopping around in the buff but was dressed in a cute outfit. Right now, our majestic Dragon Queen was wearing a pink off-shoulder chiffon mini-dress. It had a cute bow at the waist and layers of lace, making her look even more adorable. Her golden hair was styled into cute curls.

Obviously, this wasn’t her own doing. Yuan’er had dressed her up, thrilled to have a new friend to play dress-up with. At first, the Dragon Queen, whose name was Meliora, was against it. But considering who Yuan’er’s mom is, Meliora decided to just go with it.

So, after a blushing game of dress-up, Meliora ended up in this pink dress. However, right now, Meliora wasn’t worried about her outfit, even if it totally crushed her dragon dignity. She kept fiddling with her fingers, her light golden eyes full of confusion and worry.

Finally, after watching that fearsome woman enter the academic building, Meliora turned to the pink-haired girl with pigtails behind her.

"Yuan’er, do you think this one... um??"

"Meli-chan!"

Before Meliora could finish, Yuan’er pouted and interrupted her, stopping her in her tracks.

Meliora, whose sentence was cut off, didn’t get mad. Instead, she looked a bit scared, given she really didn’t want to tick off the little boss in front of her. If she complains to her scary mom, well, that might be the end of her life.

So, feeling kinda guilty, Meliora asked,

"What... what’s up, Yuan’er?"

"Meli! Didn’t I tell you? Stop referring to yourself as ’this one’! Mom has said it multiple times; that weird way of talking is for losers or people with a hero complex. Don’t use it, okay?"

"Ok... I... I got it..."

"Good!"

Seeing Meliora behave, Yuan’er happily nodded and patted the dragon girl on the head.

"So, what did Meli-chan want to ask?"

"I... I wanted to ask, I caused so much chaos yesterday, messing up most of the rooms in your mom’s house. She won’t be mad, right?"

Meliora finally voiced her inner concerns. While Yuan’er could influence her mom’s thoughts to some extent, if her mom really got mad and decided to turn her into Dragon BBQ, Meliora didn’t think Yuan’er could stop her just by acting cute. After all, this is a fearsome demoness we’re talking about.

Facing Meliora’s question, Yuan’er sighed, "Don’t worry, Meli, mom won’t be mad. She ’didn’t like’ those rooms to begin with and was looking for an excuse to renovate. You’ve actually done her a big favor. She won’t be mad."

"Really?"

"Yes, really!"

"Then... why didn’t you mess up the rooms yourself?"

Meliora asked suspiciously, her light golden dragon eyes full of doubt.

Faced with this question, Yuan’er didn’t answer directly. Instead, she tilted her head, sticking out her little tongue in a mischievous pose:

"Hehe~"

"Hehe, nothing! I knew there was something fishy about what you had me do yesterday afternoon!"

Meliora suddenly turned into an angry little kitty, jumping up in rage.

"Alright, alright, Meli-chan, don’t sweat the small stuff~ It’s all in the past."

Yuan’er nonchalantly waved her hand, then skillfully pulled out a lollipop from her pocket and handed it to the dragon loli. And as expected, our mighty Sacred Dragon Queen, who wanted to unleash her dragon dignity, was once again controlled by her instincts. She couldn’t help but take the lollipop and start enjoying it.

"So sweet~ So tasty~"

’Wait!’

’No!’

"Don’t try to distract me with a lollipop!"

After yanking the lollipop out of her mouth, Meliora gives Yuan’er an angry glare.

"Don’t worry, Don’t worry, Mommy won’t lay a hand on you. She won’t turn you into Dragon BBQ over this. Stop overthinking things."

’Really, what a silly girl. Her thought process is so weird. I really don’t get how she comes up with this stuff’

Yuan’er muttered to herself in her mind.

"Just trust me."

"You... how can you be so sure?"

"Hmmm, because my sister wrecks the house all the time too, and Mommy doesn’t really do anything to her. At most, she gets a spanking. So, if Mommy does get mad later, she’ll just spank you, no big deal~"

"Really... really?"

"Yep, really!"

Yuan’er grins and nods her head.

"So stop worrying about all that. Come on, Meli, we’ve got things to do. Let’s get planning."

"Things to do?"

Hearing this, Meliora frowns. The way she’s looking at Yuan’er now isn’t much different from how she’d look at someone she’s wary of.

"What... what are you planning for us to do?"

"Hehe, it’s simple."

"What?"

"Blow up the entire academic area!"

"Ooohh... wait, what?!?"

Meliora’s face shows pure disbelief as she realizes what she’s just heard. She even checks her ears to make sure she didn’t mishear.

"You... you’re serious?"

Faced with Meliora’s shocked question, Yuan’er just smiles and says nothing. According to her sister Kalina, keeping silent before doing something big makes you look cool.

Yuan’er didn’t answer Meliora, but looked excitedly towards the distant dorm area. A sweet, excited smile appears on her cute face.

’Hehehe~’

’Now that Big Sister Mengxi has successfully moved in with Mommy, they’re living together. But they still spend so much time in the academic building. If that building is gone and there are no classes, wouldn’t Mommy and Mengxi just stay in the apartment all day? Being together more will make their relationship even better.’

So,

"Let’s just blow up the school already!"

Yuan’er clenches her little fist, saying this excitedly.

Of course,

Wanting to blow up the school isn’t because Yuan’er hates school or anything. It’s not about settling personal scores.

This is all for the sake of her Mom’s happiness.
