"Mmmph!"
After being yanked deep into the alley, the tentacles slammed Fulo hard against the wall.
Fulo: "Ugh… I can't move…"
With a tentacle stuffed in her mouth, Fulo couldn't resist or call for help—she could only whimper helplessly.
And now, the mastermind behind this ambush stood right before her.
The white-haired, blue-eyed girl lifted Fulo's hair aside to examine her eyes.
One of Fulo's eyes was blue—just like hers. But the other…
"Tch. Disgusting."
Seeing that wine-red eye instantly reminded her of the woman she despised most.
"It's been a while. Don't you have anything to say?"
Fulo: …You're covering my mouth! How the hell am I supposed to talk?!
"Mmmph! Mmmph!"
"Oh, right."
The girl finally realized and pulled the tentacle out of Fulo's mouth.
"Puhah… Hah… Hah…"
Fulo gasped for air, panting heavily.
The girl quietly slipped the saliva-coated tentacle behind her back and gently stroked the spot where Fulo's sweet drool still lingered.
"Ilyke…"
Once her breathing steadied, Fulo looked up and spoke the girl's name.
She recognized this fellow tentacle girl.
Not just recognized—back in the previous loop, she'd been Fulo's adoptive little sister.
So she'd been sent to this world too…
Now Fulo finally understood why this emergency event was called "Sister's Revenge."
In the last loop, she and Ilyke had made a promise: once Fulo achieved a good ending, she'd come back and stay with her forever.
But Fulo failed… and broke that promise.
Judging by Ilyke's current expression, she clearly remembered everything—and knew Fulo had betrayed her trust.
"Nothing to say?" Ilyke's tone was icy.
"I'm sorry, little sister…" Fulo didn't know what else to say but apologize.
"Don't call me 'little sister.' I'll never trust you again."
With that, Ilyke released the tentacles binding Fulo.
Then she reached behind her—and Fulo finally noticed the katana sheathed at her back.
"Huh?"
A Japanese school uniform + monster girl + sword-wielding girl?
What classic anime tropes are we mixing here?!
"Why do you look like this?" Fulo couldn't help but ask.
"Hmph. Don't underestimate my talent. Since arriving in this world, I've fully absorbed its culture through the internet."
Ilyke gripped her katana in one hand while holding up her smartphone with the other, radiating an oddly misplaced confidence.
But Fulo thought she knew exactly why Ilyke turned out this way… because she spotted the ridiculously kawaii anime phone case.
Ah. So she's been binge-watching anime…
But that wasn't important right now. To understand Ilyke's role in this world, Fulo needed to investigate.
So she activated "One-Glance Appraisal."
[Ilyke]

[Evaluation: Excels at coordinated combat using katana and tentacles. An agile swordswoman—though not as strong as Hirona, she's still a formidable warrior (at least strong enough to crush Fulo effortlessly).]
Fulo: "…Seriously? Did you have to throw in that last jab? (ﾉ｀⊿´)ﾉ"
Ignoring the snarky commentary, the stats made one thing clear: Ilyke was *insanely* powerful. Apparently, immersing herself in ACG culture in this world hadn't just taught her to wield a katana—it made her even stronger.
Meanwhile, Fulo was the only one who got weaker…
She sighed, too tired to complain, and checked for more details.
[Ilyke]
[Occupation: VTuber (Virtual YouTuber). Her persona is "Will White Jia Ran Fall for Blue Taffy?"]
[Age: 18]
[Race: Tentacle Girl]
[Favorite Person: …]
"Shhhk!"
Before Fulo could finish reading, a wind blade sliced toward her.
Her appraisal was forcibly interrupted.
"Hey. You were spying on me just now, weren't you?" Ilyke pointed her katana straight at Fulo.
"Aww, got caught…"
Fulo stuck out her tongue and scratched her head awkwardly.
But the awkwardness was fake—she used the moment to quickly re-activate One-Glance Appraisal. That unread info was crucial.
[Favorite Person: …Mind your own business! What's it to you?! Stop peeking, you pervert! (╬◣д◢)]
"Ah!"
A surge of raw magical force violently severed the appraisal link!
"Still denying you were peeking?!"
"Well… can't I just take a little look?" Fulo pouted, looking utterly pitiful.
"Shut up!"
Realizing she'd lost her cool, Ilyke coughed twice and instantly reverted to her icy demeanor.
"Listen carefully, Fulolo."
"Who the heck is 'Fulolo'…?"
"…Don't interrupt!"
Ilyke sheathed her katana.
"From this moment on, Fulolo, you are my enemy. And I, Ilyke, as your sworn rival, have only one goal: to kill you."
"Um… Ilyke, doesn't that sound super cringey when you say it out loud?"
"I'm not joking!"
Ilyke's face was practically steaming with frustration.
"Fight me! I'll defeat you fairly—and then kill you."
As she spoke, her hand rested on the katana's hilt. Wind-element magic swirled around it, ready to tear Fulo apart the moment the blade was drawn.
[Ding-dong!]
[Status Update!]
[Ilyke's New Relationship Status: Your Enemy]
Fulo: "…?!"
"Ilyke… you really mean to kill me?"
"Do you think I'm bluffing?" Ilyke's voice grew even colder.
Fulo had initially thought it was just an act—but now even the system confirmed their relationship had changed.
A wave of despair washed over her, as if she'd truly lost her little sister.
She wanted to say something more—but Ilyke was already moving.
"Die."
The blade flashed from its sheath.
A surge of wind magic sent Fulo flying.
♡♡♡
The outcome of this battle was never in doubt.
Fulo: There's no way I could win QAQ
Ilyke defeated her in less than three moves, forcing Fulo to her knees.
Fulo didn't dare summon Hirona—she knew that would only make things far worse.
"What a boring fight."
Victorious, Ilyke looked down at the fallen Fulo with utter disdain.
"Ilyke… are you really going to kill me?"
Fulo bit her lip and asked.
"No."
Ilyke sheathed her sword and turned her head away.
"You're too weak. Someone as pathetic as you isn't even worth killing. I'll wait until you get stronger—then I'll kill you."
"…Huh?"
Fulo was stunned.
She was being spared… for that reason?
"Well… thank you, Ilyke…"
"You think that's the end of it?"
Just as Fulo tried to stand, Ilyke's tentacles erupted forth.
"Eeep?!"
Fulo was bound again in an instant, slammed hard onto the ground.
Ilyke then straddled her, pressing her body down.
"I-Ilyke…?"
"Chu♡"
Before Fulo could react, Ilyke planted a soft kiss on her cheek.
"Eeek?!"
Fulo froze in shock.
"What are you doing?!"
"Don't play dumb. I won, didn't I? And as the loser, you must accept the winner's punishment. Isn't that how it works?"
"Since when was that a rule?! I've never heard of—mmph…"
Fulo's protest was cut off as Ilyke gently nipped at her earlobe.
"Hawu♡"
Ilyke's slender, pale fingers intertwined with Fulo's.
"Nngh…"
Fulo's cheeks flushed crimson, her eyes growing hazy and unfocused.
Yep. This was definitely the Defeat CG triggering (sadly).
After being thoroughly "enjoyed" by Ilyke in the dim alley for a while, Fulo was completely drained.
Seemingly deciding the alley was too dreary for her tastes, Ilyke tied Fulo up securely and hoisted her over her shoulder like a sack of rice.
"What are you doing now…?" Fulo weakly asked, her voice barely a whisper.
"Taking you home, obviously."
"Huh? Where?"
"My place."
Fulo: ?!
Are you kidding me?! She was already half-dead *here*—if Ilyke took her home…
Just imagining it made Fulo tremble in terror.
"N-No… let me go…"
"Protest denied. You're my prisoner now."
Ilyke didn't loosen her grip an inch. Carrying Fulo firmly, she began walking toward her house.
Fulo: Nooo~˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅
