Reborn as an Evolving Space Monster: Harem Of Otherworldly Beauties - Chapter 306

Chapter 306: Emasculating, Defeminizing… Confusing!
“Well, that took a while.” Rea muttered with crossed arms.

“Yeah, sorry.”

“We were gaming the whole time, it’s fine.” Liz said with a smile as she wrapped her arms around Cero’s right arm. “Rea’s just complaining cause she was on a losing streak.”

“I’m not! You cheated somehow!” Rea sighed. “In any case, the sun is starting to set, so this was better for me anyway.”

“Did you beat her using the secret technique I taught you?” Cero whispered in Liz’s ear.

“I did.” She chuckled. “Super effective.”

Noticing Rea getting closer to listen to the whispering, Liz moved her gaze towards her.

“I told her that we should stay lowkey but…”

“I don’t do lowkey,” Rea exclaimed proudly, showcasing her outfit. “Isn’t it nice?”

“Stop fishing for compliments, Rea. It’s very unsightly.”

“You’re just complaining because your outfit is bland and boring.”

“…”

“Nah, I like it.” Cero said, wrapping his arm around Liz’s shoulder.

“Ugh, whatever.”

“I like yours too, you know?”

“Well… You should have said so before. Doing it after saying that you liked Liz’s makes it feel like a pity compliment.”

“Which is exactly what it is.” Liz cheekily whispered while looking away.

“WHAT?! TRY AND REPEAT THAT?!”

Cero looked around the area they had agreed to meet on.

“So, where are we going?”

“A pretty cool place.” Liz answered with a smile.

“The slums.” Rea uttered with a retching gesture, absolutely dejected

“Sorry for taking you out of your castle, princess.” Cero chuckled.

“I know, right? Sorry that you have to walk amongst us commoners.”

“Shut up, both of you.” Rea rolled her eyes and started walking. “We need to catch the train.”

Liz and Cero followed her lead.

“How far is it?” He asked.

“Hm… About 2000 kilometers away.”

“Well, shit.”

“Should be a thirty-minute train ride.”

“…” Cero scratched his cheek. “Well, shit.”

“Ugh, only this stop gets us there.” Rea uttered, staring with a disgusted expression at the ground and public benches. “Dude, this is gross.”

“It’s not that bad.” Liz sighed.

Rea turned her gaze towards Cero.

“Yeah, it’s pretty gross.” He admitted.

“Okay, fine. Yes, it’s gross. Alright? Are you happy?”

Rea and Cero exchanged confused looks.

“What’s up with her?”

“Why are you making it sound like this is where you live?” Cero asked.

“Huh? How?”

“With how self-conscious you are.” Rea answered.

“Well…” Liz looked away. “I’m from a place not so different from here.”

“Oh, my god! Liz!” Rea shouted, slapping Liz’s back. “I didn’t know you were a slumdog.”

“Shut up. I’m…” Liz’s eyes narrowed. “You guys go over there. I’ll join you in a second.”

“Huh?”

“What do you mean?” He asked.

“Go enjoy the view from there.”

Rea immediately wrapped her arms around Cero’s.

“Don’t have to tell me twice.” She stuck her tongue and pulled Cero away. “Come on.”

***

“What is she doing?” Cero asked.

The two had walked up a couple of staircases. Liz was still within view.

“Trying to look menacing and scary.” Rea chuckled.

“Why is that?”

“I don’t know.” She shrugged. “You know how the slums are.”

“I kind of don’t.”

“Oh well…”

Despite the dirtiness, Rea managed to convince herself to place her hands on the railing.

‘It actually is a nice view.’ She thought to herself. ‘Can see a good portion of the Capital from here. Looks much better at night…’

Cero stared at her for a bit.

“Enjoying the view?”

Rea smiled but remained silent for a bit. She arched her back for a moment, stretching.

“What about you?” She smirked as she looked back at him. “Enjoying the view?”

Her tight clothes beautifully accentuated her figure and curves. Plus, that cheeky smirk didn’t leave Cero indifferent.

“I sure am.”

“Well,” Rea started swaying her hips from right to left. “Good for you.”

Her eyebrows rose as she noticed someone approaching Liz, who was a couple of dozen steps away.

Cero immediately turned around.

As he took a step down the staircase,

“What are you doing?”

“What do you mean?”

“You’re not going to go solve it, are you?”

“There’s nothing to solve. Maybe just they just know each other and-”

“Nu-uh.” Rea interrupted.

Her eyes narrowed as she stared at the person approaching Liz.

“That black puffer jacket, those sweatpants, those sneakers… Yes, it can only be one person.”

“You know her?”

“No, but I’ve heard rumors.” Rea chuckled. “It’s Roadwoman.”

“The fuck is that?”

“Well, she’s walking up to Liz to… I don’t know. Press her? Mug her? Who knows.”

“Then-”

“Don’t go!” Rea pulled on Cero’s arm, keeping him from going to Liz.

“Let go of my arm.”

“Oh, come on. Cero, open your eyes, will you? This is Liz we’re talking about.”

“So? If someone wants trouble then-”

“You can act that way with me. You can act that way with Raya. But definitely not with Liz!”

“Huh? What’s that supposed to mean?”

Rea sighed, letting her shoulders drop.

“This is her problem to deal with, alright?”

“If she has a problem, then I’ll deal with it-”

“You can’t do that! Alright? This is Liz we’re talking about. And that’s not a Giganto Zilla walking towards her, get it? Just let her deal with it!”

“…” Cero stared with a frown, confused.

“Things are different between us. The… The four of us. But in the real world, in our world, it’s a woman’s job to deal with this, alright?” Rea scratched her head as she looked away. “It would be defeminizing for her, if you stepped in. She’s strong, you know? And proud. Just let her deal with it.”

Cero thought for a bit.

‘I mean… I guess your girlfriend defending you from a guy on Earth would be weird, especially if you haven’t asked for help or… Oh, I see.’ Cero crossed his arms, keeping a close eye on the situation. ‘It’s assuming that the other person needs help without having any signs of struggle that makes emasculating… Or defeminizing here.’

“Alright?” Rea asked.

“Yeah. I’m keeping an eye on this though.”

“Good.” She sighed.

“You care about Liz more than you let on, huh?”

“Shut up.”
