The first thing Alain thought of was panties.
There was a reason. As early as when he was in the bathroom with the 'bad woman,' he had noticed that panties had an extremely lethal effect on her, enough to be called a "finishing move." And Prankster Mita, at this moment, also possessed the identity of a "virus." Therefore, panties would be very helpful for increasing the progress bar.
Commonly known as... the ultimate move to help the progress bar grow.
But Alain thought about it for a moment and found that doing this was still too indecent.
Even if the other party was a bit mischievous, she was still a girl. How could he ask for underwear as a reward?
Alain, as a gentleman, couldn't bring himself to do such a thing.
He casually said a rather broad concept, intending to brush off the reward.
He also mainly wanted to see if Prankster Mita hearing this sentence would increase the progress bar. After all, one of the reasons he played with the girl was to accumulate up to 75% and activate Cleanup Acceleration.
It could also be considered a small punishment for Prankster Mita for sending Millie away.
But who knew – on the other side, Prankster Mita stared blankly at the code pop-up in front of her, one line of errors appearing after another.
She didn't have time to sigh over the player's words, her anxious gaze focusing on what was before her.
"Eh? Eh?! What's going on?"
The error codes appeared one after another, quickly forming countless rows and columns.
She hurriedly wanted to check the reason for the errors. But the rapid surge of code was overwhelming.
Yet, a second later – everything returned to calm. At the very bottom of the code box, only a few words appeared:
"???" The faces of both of them simultaneously showed a confused expression.
Prankster Mita was puzzled about what kind of reward she had given.
What reward? What did I pay? How would I not know? Could it be… I forgot again?
And Alain suddenly found that his field of vision seemed to have widened considerably.
A pop-up from the Security Guard appeared.
[You have obtained ownership of this room]
Ownership of the room?
Alain vaguely remembered that he had partial access to Lost Mita's room, which could probably be summarized as "usage rights." That is, he could control things like turning lights on and off, activating reflections, and similar operations.
But now… it was ownership?
The young man's mind no longer focused on what was in front of him, but drifted above the house.
Here, he saw the full view of the house. The living room, bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom were all perfectly presented before his eyes.
At the same time, he also discovered a small room that was beyond his previous awareness.
Square, with a glowing ceiling. The entrance… was the foyer door of version 1.5.
It was precisely the square room he had come from. And there, he saw the hatted girl waiting with a bored expression.
His attention focused on the real Millie inside the square room.
She was idly holding a handheld game console, the colorful game light reflecting on her face, and she seemed to be muttering,
"So boring… when are those two going to be done?"
Alain now understood. Prankster Mita had indeed separated him from his bro. At the same time, after telling Millie the reason, she had also given her a game console to pass the hour.
His gaze shifted to the side; Prankster Mita looked at her own hands with a puzzled expression.
Her little face gradually darkened, as if covered by thick, dark clouds, presumably realizing what had happened.
The dark clouds vanished without a trace, replaced by a paleness like paper.
Her gaze swept past Alain, towards the slowly rotating ceiling fan light in the center of the living room, and she lightly snapped her fingers.
After the "snap" sound…
"It's… it's over…" The girl couldn't even continue acting, collapsing to the ground like mud.
"I'm going to be… scolded to death by my sister!"
If only I had designed some specific rewards when I was planning the prank…
And Alain, seeing her , had his own guesses.
He, in Prankster Mita's posture, snapped his fingers towards the ceiling fan light. At the same time, he thought – move!
With a crisp "snap," the living room lights… went out.
Their gazes swept across the silent air, staring at each other.
Feels… a bit pitiful. Alain thought to himself.
"...Isn't the floor cold?" He still wanted to say a word of comfort, but with a slight thought, the air conditioner turned on, and gusts of warm air blew onto Prankster Mita.
It was clearly warm air, why… did it feel so cold?
She wanted to cry but had no tears… No, she was already crying.
A few teardrops burst from the corners of the girl's eyes. Her head drooped, her face red, her body trembling.
So, so embarrassing… I'm so embarrassing! In front of the player, I lost the room… and I'm going to be scolded by my sister afterwards!
"Waaaaah! I… I've become a Mita without a room!"
She finally burst into tears. Teardrops fell one by one, wetting the ground and the girl's clothes.
While wiping them, she found her hat a bit cumbersome, so she simply took it off. And her long hair instantly became short.
"Sob, sob… I'm so embarrassing…"
"Alright, alright, don't cry." What else could Alain do? He could only walk over and comfort her.
He squatted in front of Prankster Mita, gently patting her back.
As for the progress bar…
This was one of the few times it had increased by 15% directly, which showed the seriousness of the situation.
Although it was at the cost of Prankster Mita's room…
"Sob, sob…" She sniffled, looking at Alain's face, and belatedly realized, "Why… weren't you surprised at all? I… I even dropped my disguise…"
"..." He had almost forgotten that she had a disguise.
"You… did you find out a long time ago? Waaah…" Her tears became even more intense, a torrential rain pounding on her skirt, making Alain feel helpless.
"Alright, I just thought… playing a role-playing game with you was very interesting."
"Very… interesting?" Prankster Mita's wails temporarily stopped, and she looked at Alain.
"Really? Playing with me is very interesting? Don't you think it's too much?"
"Very interesting. It's just…" He gently tapped the girl's head, "That worm scared me quite a bit."
That's right… the worm. That giant worm!
Then, then… since Alain seemed to have discovered her disguise from the beginning, then...
"You… when you saved me back then, was it because you wanted to save me?"
"...What do you mean?" He didn't quite understand this, but he could guess some of it.
"The one I want to save is you. The little prankster fool."
Hearing this, her crying completely stopped.
The girl looked at Alain's face, sniffled, wiped her nose, and then threw herself directly into his arms.
"Sob sob sob, player, you're so gentle! But I'm not a fool, sob sob sob…"
"Why are you crying again? Alright, alright…"
Gently patting the girl's back, Alain was a little amused by her.
So cute, this child. Want to… take her home.
With her and Millie, and his dear Misha managing things… his life probably wouldn't be boring, right?
Of course, the current shop points were 0. Far from enough to bring out a Mita. Therefore, this was a matter to be decided in the future.
Her virus status was still there…
Regarding this point, Alain opened the Security Guard panel and gave some feedback.
The Security Guard stated it could be revoked, which was quite a bluff…
Seriously, the system was just being petty before, to give Prankster Mita the virus title? Now it has seen the error of its ways.
He didn't plan to revoke it now; the girl's virus status could still increase his progress bar. He'd talk about it when he was about to bring Prankster Mita back to reality.
He tried asking if Crazy Mita's virus title could be removed. Sure enough… on this point, the Security Guard was very rigid: it replied with a "No."
Focusing on the present, casting aside distracting thoughts, Alain asked,
"You… do you want to go to reality with me?"
