(Chapter 3) This cute Junior is Predator
...Of course, the simulator couldn’t stop the simulation. Anna could only numbly watch as the simulator continued simulating her humiliating life of being captured by the striped worms and forced into asexual reproduction.
[Day 15: You endure the love of the worm and notice many other women also being caressed.]
[Day 16: You endure the love of the worm.]
[Passive Skill Upgraded: Womb Tattoo Lv.2.]
[Day 17: You are briefly set down but can only crawl on all fours in humiliation, still enduring the worm’s love.]
[Day 18: While being set down, you continue to endure the worm’s love.]
[Passive Skill Gained: Quadrupedal Movement Lv.1.]
[Passive Skill Upgraded: Womb Tattoo Lv.3.]
[Day 19: You endure the worm’s love.]
[Day 20: Today, you endure the worm’s love again.]
[Passive Skill Upgraded: Womb Tattoo Lv.Max.]
[As the final tattoo is etched onto your lower abdomen, you fully succumb to the love of the worm, surrendering completely to the Threadworm Queen that has conquered you. From that moment, you disappear without a trace. Even if someone searched for you, it would have been in vain.]
[In the end, countless Threadworms completely overrun the small town.]
[But none of that matters to you anymore. All you know is that you are very, very happy.]
[Simulation ended. Calculating results...]
[Achievement unlocked: Mother of the Threadworms (Bronze)]
[Achievement unlocked: That Tattoo Looks Naughty (Bronze)]
Anna no longer knew what expression to make. She fought the urge to curse out the simulator and its entire family—though she wasn’t even sure if the simulator had a family.
What kind of life simulator is this?! This is more like a depravity simulator!
Twice! Twice now, the simulator had gone off into such bizarre directions. There was no way Anna could believe this was a proper life simulator at all.
Fuming, she opened the achievements system and stared at the pitch-black list, where two more bronze medals of sin had been lit up. With trembling hands and an uneasy heart, she opened the descriptions of the two achievements.
[Mother of the Threadworms (Bronze): You’ve become the mother of the threadworms... You’re so weak, you couldn’t even beat a threadworm.]
[Reward: 1 Achievement Point]
[Silver Tier Unlock Condition: None]
[That Mark Looks Naughty (Bronze): You upgraded one Womb Tattoo to Lv.Max... You must have enjoyed that, huh?]
[Reward: 1 Achievement Point]
[Silver Tier Unlock Condition: Upgrade two Womb Tattoos to the highest level.]
There’s too much to complain about! Not only was it openly mocking her for being weak, but it also blatantly implied she enjoyed the process.
“As if!” Anna fumed. She had been through school, thank you very much, and she knew why threadworm Womb Tattoo appeared on the human body. How was it even possible to unlock the silver-tier version of this garbage achievement?!
Besides, there’s no way I’d stoop to upgrading such trashy achievements to silver anyway!
Resolving herself, Anna grew inexplicably angrier: two more sinful medals had been lit up amidst the shadowy achievement list.
Being defiled by thread worms was the worst! She needed to think about soft, adorable girls instead, family!
Yet as the night wore on, the more Anna tried to think about cute girls, the more she found herself unable to sleep. If she tried to block thoughts of cute girls, her mind would inevitably drift to her humiliating experiences in the simulator…
“The sun’s already up…”
After a restless night, Anna stared blankly at the faint light seeping through the curtains.
Anna had pulled an all-nighter.
“Anna-senpai, you don’t look well-rested,” someone remarked.
At work, Anna’s fatigue was quickly noticed by a girl nearby who approached her with concern.
“It’s Louise… Ah, I’m fine. I was just too tired, and then I couldn’t fall asleep,” Anna replied weakly, her pale face and dark circles making her excuse seem flimsy at best.
“Why don’t you take a break, Anna-senpai?” Louise, the pink-haired girl, helped Anna sit down in a chair. “I can handle the patrols today.”
“No, no, I can’t skip work!” At Louise’s suggestion, Anna shook her head so fiercely it resembled a bobblehead doll. “If I skip work and that bald guy finds out, who knows if he’ll just fire me outright…”
Mentioning being fired made Anna recall her first simulation. Thinking of her first simulation brought to mind the simulator’s remark about “the knight junior who tipped the most.”
It had to be referring to Louise, right? After all, there weren’t many new recruits assigned to this remote border knight squad. Anna herself, having spent only half a year here, was technically the newest member of the small group—if you could even call it a group.
That was until two months ago when Louise Latynia had suddenly been assigned here as a newcomer. Since then, Anna had gone from being the absolute rookie to the second-least experienced knight in the entire border unit.
Even so, her status as a newcomer meant the other members routinely dumped their patrol duties on her, using various knightly codes as excuses. In the end, almost all the work landed on Anna’s shoulders.
Knighthood is a bad civilization!
Even with Louise’s arrival, this situation hadn’t improved much. Anna’s patrol load had lightened slightly, but not by much. After all, Louise had been sent here to gain experience, and the bald captain didn’t dare assign her too many tasks.
Anna had always thought of Louise as an obedient and sweet junior—a proper noble lady who just happened to be the daughter of the lord of Ambit County, to which their small town belonged. A highborn duchess, through and through. This was a stark contrast to Anna herself, a fallen noble who had earned her title the hard way by enrolling in and graduating from the knight academy.
Louise genuinely cared for Anna, often volunteering to take on some of her tasks. However, in the beginning, Anna didn’t feel comfortable dumping her overwhelming workload on Louise. After all, she wasn’t sure if Louise was being polite out of formality, and offending a powerful noble family by overburdening their daughter wasn’t exactly a good idea.
Even after the two became somewhat familiar with each other, Anna still avoided handing over too many responsibilities to Louise. For one, Anna prided herself on solving problems independently. For another, she didn’t feel like their relationship was close enough for her to openly rely on Louise. And even though Anna knew she was being exploited by her other colleagues, she couldn’t bring herself to complain to Louise.
Anna had always assumed Louise was an angelic junior—a pure, kind soul. But to her shock, the simulator revealed otherwise when Louise made her debut in a... brothel, requesting her by name.
Louise, Louise, I never expected you to be the type to visit those kinds of places! You’re such a bad kid!
But thinking about Louise’s concern for her in real life, coupled with her simulator behavior, Anna couldn’t help but spiral.
No, no, just because I, Anna, am stunningly beautiful, adorably charming, and objectively top-tier, doesn’t mean I should be so confident! What if Louise doesn’t actually feel that way about me? That’d be so awkward!
“Senpai?” Louise’s concerned voice snapped Anna out of her daze. Seeing Anna’s vacant expression, Louise’s worry deepened. “If you’re really this tired, Senpai, you should rest. Leave your tasks to me!”
“Ah, but... that doesn’t seem appropriate...”
“No way! Anna-senpai, you’re in no condition to patrol properly! Leave everything to me—I’ll even handle requesting leave on your behalf!”
Before Anna could process Louise’s sudden determination, the pink-haired girl grabbed a one-handed sword from the side and stormed off toward the office of their bald, creepy superior.
The sight of Louise storming off, sword in hand, had Anna panicking. For a moment, she genuinely thought Louise was about to cut down their superior. Jolted awake from her drowsiness, Anna stood up quickly—but having stayed up all night and skipped breakfast, the sudden motion left her dizzy and even paler than usual, her face nearly as white as paper.
In her brief spell of dizziness, Louise had already barged into the office, sword in hand.
It took less than 30 seconds—barely even 10—before Louise emerged, holding a signed document. Her face carried an expression of disdain that Anna had never seen before.
“Louise?”
Hearing Anna call her, Louise instantly switched back to her usual, sweet demeanor, as if that brief flash of scorn had been a mere hallucination.
“Senpai! I got the leave approved for you!” Louise bounded over like an eager puppy, handing the document to Anna. “The moment that creep realized I was asking on your behalf, he signed faster than he could nod!”
...So this was the privilege of being the daughter of a high-ranking noble.
Anna couldn’t even get proper leave in the simulator, yet here Louise had effortlessly secured one in real life.
“Thank you, Louise!”
Hugging her felt a little too intimate, but simply thanking her verbally didn’t feel sincere enough. Anna stood there, awkward and frozen, unsure of how to express her gratitude to this adorable and capable junior.
“If you really want to thank me, how about accompanying me for some shopping on Sunday?” Louise suggested, pushing her luck with a playful smile.
“Well... that depends on whether I’m still on leave...”
“Leave isn’t an issue,” Louise replied, her tone brimming with confidence and authority.
And honestly, given her track record, that statement carried a lot of weight.
“Alright, I guess that’s fine—as friends, though,” Anna relented hesitantly.
“Really? Yay!” Louise’s joy was palpable.
Before Anna realized it, Louise had lightly placed her hands on her shoulders.
“In that case, Senpai, you should head home and catch up on sleep. Let me walk you back!”
“That’s... really not necessary. I can make it home just fine on my own...” Anna protested, feeling much more awake now.
“No way. If something happens to you on the way back, I’d be really troubled,” Louise insisted.
Wait, when did this cute junior of mine turn into such a predator? No—what should I do if my sweet junior is actually a wolf in sheep’s clothing?! Help! Online answers needed ASAP!
