After alaya greeted the Gaia Loli with a unique, nationally-flavored 'greeting', this 'exchange', which had lasted who-knows-how-long, finally ended when the Gaia Loli's pleas for mercy became somewhat slurred, and alaya let go of this trouble-loving individual. However, alaya had just 'accidentally' noticed the ridiculous style of underwear gaia was wearing—it was an even bolder, more absurd design than her own. Could such a tiny piece of cloth really cover anything proper? Could that even be considered standard clothing? alaya thought, her cheeks flushed crimson. Really! It was purely an accident that she caught a glimpse of it! What was wrong with this world's common sense!
"Wah~ So mean, Alaya-chan. I clearly said not to hit my face, but every punch just now landed right on it. If I weren't an inhibitor, my cute little face would have been completely ruined by you." Using her power to restore the swelling on her face back to its original delicate state, she pouted and complained to alaya. Rubbing her still-aching cheek, she inwardly lamented her suffering.
Because they possessed the same level of mystery, alaya's attacks were highly effective against her. The Gaia Loli had tried to resist her assault, but due to alaya's blackened state, her combat power surpassed gaia's, and that terrifying blackened aura left the Gaia Loli completely unable to fight back, forced to accept the consequences of her own chaotic choices. What made it even more painful was that while she could heal the physical marks alaya left on her face, the stinging sensation itself wouldn't disappear; it remained in full force. Plus, alaya had deliberately infused extra force into her punches, making it hurt even more.
"Hmph! You! You totally deserved it! What's the point of spying on someone else's fashion choices! Seriously... you're the one wearing such strange things yourself, yet you have the nerve to comment on others!" alaya muttered quietly, her face still slightly flushed. Although they had existed for an immeasurable amount of time, in terms of physique, they maintained the appearance of petite, adorable individuals. What they hadn't considered was that even if they attempted to wear the boldest styles, it only gave off the impression of young kids trying way too hard to act like sophisticated adults. Though it did add a rather unique, comical charm to their daily dynamic.
"Huh? Oh my~ I didn't expect Alaya-chan to notice. But it's fine, given our relationship, I don't mind at all!" What kind of person is the Gaia Loli? Don't underestimate her just because she likes to court disaster. She's the planet's inhibitor, after all. She clearly heard alaya's quiet muttering, and thinking of something fun, she instantly forgot the lingering pain on her face, stood up, and was fully revived.
'Indeed, aside from matters concerning Yoshinon Testa Rossa, nothing else can cause such obvious fluctuations in Alaya-chan's composure. Such a good opportunity must be taken advantage of properly. And Alaya-chan's blushing, shy look is so incredibly amusing!' Watching the flustered alaya, the Gaia Loli roared internally with pure excitement. Then, hatching a mischievous plan, a playful grin appeared on her face.
"Wh-what! What are you planning now!" After taking a few deep breaths to regain her composure, alaya looked up, intending to chide the Gaia Loli, only to see her smiling broadly as she casually flaunted her choice of attire. That absurd piece of cloth, which in alaya's view defied all logic, was now displayed before her, making the redness that had just subsided return even more vividly.
"Heehee~ Didn't Alaya-chan want to see what I was wearing? Then I'll show you~ I just thought of something. It was indeed my fault for peeking at Alaya-chan's things before, so from now on, I'll return the favor every day~ Starting right now." With a flawless smile, the Gaia Loli stated her ridiculous reason. But this was absolutely not what alaya wanted to deal with!
"You! You shameless creature! How can that thing even be called proper clothing! What can such a thin piece of cloth possibly cover! Drop your skirt right now!" The flustered and exasperated alaya could no longer control her emotions and shouted at the top of her lungs. She just didn't realize that her chaotic reaction only brought the Gaia Loli a much greater sense of amusement.
"Heehee~ Isn't Alaya-chan wearing something similar too? I don't think you're in a position to criticize my style, right?" Ignoring alaya's protests, the Gaia Loli stubbornly flaunted her victory, twirling around in a ridiculous, teasing dance to show off her complete lack of shame. Seeing her inhibitor colleague completely abandoning any dignity, alaya's face burned with pure exasperation.
'Uwah~ What on earth is this creature! How dare she act so carelessly? Even if it's just the two of us here, she shouldn't behave like that! Does she have no sense of decorum at all!'
"What do you mean 'similar'! What I'm wearing is completely different from your extreme choices! Don't lump me together with a weirdo like you!" alaya shouted, completely flustered, turning her back to avoid looking at the chaotic Gaia Loli. She had her dignity as an inhibitor! This black lace style was already the absolute limit of what her modern sense of fashion could accept!
"Oh dear~ Actually, our motivation for updating our wardrobe is exactly the same, isn't it, Alaya-chan? If I'm not mistaken, Alaya-chan started switching to these bolder, more stylish choices instead of the previous pure white or blue-and-white striped ones right after kissing Yoshinon Testa Rossa last time, right? The reason we're both trying so hard is all for Yoshinon Testa Rossa, isn't it?" Seeing alaya with her back turned, the Gaia Loli finally stopped her teasing, walked up behind alaya, and gave her a sudden hug. Looking at alaya's intensely flushed profile, she teased with a triumphant grin. After all, only Yoshinon Testa Rossa possessed the power to shatter Alaya-chan's absolute defenses so thoroughly.
