[Simulation Complete. Host's score is 13.0! (★★)]
[Without any added charm stats, you made Alina fall in love at first sight based on your actions and appearance alone! Host, you're just a natural-born charmer! A succubus incarnate!]
Yu Yachen opened her eyes again. The empty bedroom was suddenly filled with a burst of virtual fireworks.
The white-haired woman looked down at the white shirt she was wearing, her expression blank. She frowned slightly.
"My suit jacket is gone?"
Although she had given it to Alina in the simulation, that didn't mean she had taken it off in reality.
[Eh? Th-This might be a system calculation error! It's just a jacket, Host, don't worry about the details.]
[More importantly, given the Host's dazzling performance in the first simulation, this system can make an exception and give you an incentive package! (´▽*)]
As it spoke, a panel popped up in front of Yu Yachen.
[Congratulations on receiving a 24-hour [Star Platinum: The World] trial card!]
"What's the use of this?"
Yu Yachen tilted her head.
She was supposed to get [Star Platinum] permanently after completing the "Save the Reunion Movement" mission anyway. She didn't need the Stand right now, it was just a precaution.
If Ch'en Huijie, who was investigating her for murder, suddenly decided to stop playing by the rules and just attack her with Chi Xiao, perhaps this trial card would be useful... but Ch'en attacking her like that was unlikely.
Killer Queen's ability to murder and destroy the evidence was flawless. The police wouldn't find any clues leading back to her.
...Whatever. It's not like she expected to get the reward easily. Yu Yachen pulled open the curtains on the living room's balcony. The afternoon sun streamed in, illuminating the dust motes floating in the air.
It was already almost noon the next day. Thankfully, it was her day off. Yu Yachen rubbed her forehead. The hour spent in the simulation felt like a long nightmare. She lifted her hand; her fingertips were still red from the tundra's cold.
So the physical sensations carry over, too...
Yu Yachen stripped off her clothes and headed to the bathroom.
First, a shower, then she'd make some breakfast.
Meanwhile, in the Ursus northern tundra.
Alina groggily opened her eyes. The sound of the wind and snow scraping against the branches outside her tent had woken her.
She seemed to have had a strange dream. In the dream, she was attacked while trading for supplies, and at the critical moment, a gentle woman with white hair and cyan eyes saved her.
Was it a dream?
Alina sat up from her sleeping mat. An article of clothing that had been draped over her blankets slid to the floor. She subconsciously looked down at the heavy fabric.
Wait. It wasn't a dream...
Alina stared, grabbing the light gray suit jacket. Her fingers felt the soft texture of the expensive fabric. Clearly, no one in the snowfields could afford clothes like this.
On impulse, Alina buried her face in the collar of the jacket. A scent of sandalwood mixed with something warm and creamy filled her nose, identical to the person in her dream.
[System Notification: Alina's favorability +5! Current favorability 50/100 (Dream lover-level!)]
"?"
The sound of rushing water filled the bathroom. Yu Yachen turned off the shower, water dripping from the ends of her hair onto the tile. She spoke, her face expressionless.
"What's going on, System?"
[Ahaha, Host, you're done with your shower? Nice weather today, isn't it? (´▽*)]
"Why is Alina's favorability updating in the real world?"
Yu Yachen wrapped a towel around her body, brushed her wet hair back, and pushed open the glass shower door to stand in front of the mirror.
[Because generating each simulation requires a massive amount of calculation, the system consumes a lot of processing power. Maybe Alina's feelings for you developed further during that simulation process! (´・ω・`)]
Cat-Guest System 7355608 lied without batting an eye.
"..."
Yu Yachen frowned. She was about to say something, but the sound of her phone ringing in the living room cut her off.
"..."
"~In her pretty cabinet...~"
Yu Yachen shook her head. She walked to the living room in her wet slippers and picked up the phone from the table—
"Miss Yu The furniture you ordered is at your door"
A cheerful, lively Sankta girl's voice came from the other end.
"I know. Please wait a moment."
Because she had brought someone home and brutally murdered them a few days ago, she had disposed of the blood-stained sofa and coffee table. Although cleaning the stains wasn't difficult, the white-haired woman's mysophobia wouldn't allow her to use furniture that had been soaked in blood.
Yu Yachen got dressed, casually blew her hair until it was half-dry, and went to the entryway.
"..."
The ones delivering the items were a cheerful red-haired Sankta woman and a black-haired Lupo woman. Both were friends of Yu Yachen's, but she was in no mood to reminisce right now. After signing the delivery slip, she watched them leave, then nonchalantly dragged the large sofa and coffee table inside.
Moving these two heavy pieces of furniture would be difficult for a normal woman. Yu Yachen's physical fitness was far below the average for a human on Terra.
But she still had her [Stand]. The [Stand] named Killer Queen was a supernatural ability from an anime Yu Yachen had watched in her past life. Most [Stands] manifested as humanoid beings invisible to ordinary people, each with their own fantastical abilities.
For example, [Killer Queen]'s ability to turn objects into bombs, or [Star Platinum]'s ability to stop time for five seconds.
[Killer Queen] picked up the heavy packaging and placed it in the empty space where the sofa should have been.
...Compared to [Star Platinum], I'd rather get [Scary Monsters] to improve my own physical condition. The human body is too weak.
[By the way, Host, isn't your Killer Queen even more overpowered than Star Platinum? It's a five-A Stand, after all. And your mental strength is much stronger than the original Yoshikage Kira's, so the limits on your explosion ability are much smaller,] the system asked.
It's just a precaution. I do want time stop, after all.
"Rip—"
She tore the tape off the packaging, revealing the gray-white sofa fabric. The sofa Yu Yachen had ordered was pre-assembled, ready to use right after unboxing. The seller had even thrown in a few pillows.
Yes, normally, this sofa would be ready to use as soon as the plastic wrap was off.
Staring at the sofa, Yu Yachen suddenly realized something.
"[Killer Queen]."
The pale pink Stand materialized silently in front of her. Killer Queen sliced open the surface of the sofa cushion with a hand-chop. The sofa's soft filling burst out.
Yu Yachen reached her hand deep inside the down filling. After feeling around for a moment, she finally felt a hard object inside the cushion, completely different from the soft stuffing.
The white-haired woman pulled out the tiny, button-sized metal device—it was a miniature wireless listening device.
"Heh."
Yu Yachen let out a cold laugh.
She could guess who did this.
