Zenless Zone Zero: I'm a Succubus in Sixth Street

"Brother, let's just move her to the 2nd floor."

After all, the things in the first-floor room weren't suitable for outsiders to see. Although Wise knew Ellen was fine, in Belle's eyes, the other party was not yet completely trustworthy.

"Mmm, then let's..."

"Move her into your room, brother."

"Eh?"

"What 'eh'? Isn't this a mess you caused yourself, brother? Take proper responsibility to the end!"

Since things had come to this, Wise didn't say any more. He just went forward and picked up the still-sleeping Ellen. The latter initially resisted a little, but after sniffing the air, she peacefully went back to sleep. But even so, Ellen still felt quite heavy to Wise. Although she looked slender, that large tail of hers was indeed a bit troublesome. To prevent it from swinging around and making it difficult to move, Wise could only hold it with his hand. The tail felt very powerful, and it was fortunate that Ellen didn't resist.

There were no customers in the video store at this time, so Wise didn't cause any commotion and brought Ellen back to his room. Ellen, who had no resistance towards Wise in her unconscious state, was brought back to his room by him. In this situation... alright, nothing could possibly happen. After all, Anby, Nekomiya, and Belle were following right behind him. So even if he really wanted to do something, he couldn't.

Wait, it's not like I wanted to take advantage of her situation in the first place!

But now that things had come to this, Wise decided it was better to eat dinner first...

At the same time, on the other side, Nicole, who was waiting for Anby and Nekomiya to return at the Cunning Hares' office, suddenly received a message. "Hm? What the heck? Why are Anby and Nekomiya suddenly saying they're not coming back for dinner? They're eating at Wise's place?"

Nicole thought to herself that this seemed pretty good. It would save the cost of food for two people. If they could frequently go over for free meals, they could save quite a bit in a month. Thinking of this, Nicole couldn't help but smile. For her, saving Dennies was a happy thing. It was just too late today; otherwise, she would have definitely brought Billy along to freeload as well.

The perspective returns to the video store. Wise placed the prepared food on the table, while Belle, Anby, and Nekomiya had long been sitting at the table's side.

"Mmm, it smells so good, meow!"

"Brother's cooking skills have improved so much recently. Could it be for the sake of winning over more girls?"

"Ahem, th-that's not it at all! Oh, right, Ellen should be waking up soon. I'll go up and call her." Wise flatly denied the fact Belle had stated and then turned to go upstairs to his room.

"Hm? She's still not awake?"

He recalled Ellen's usual situation: school during the day, work at night, and occasionally having to go shopping with her best friends. If it were anyone else, they probably would have collapsed long ago. And Ellen was only suffering from some lack of sleep.

Coming to the bedside and looking at the still-sleeping Ellen, Wise reached out and pushed her shoulder, wanting to wake her up. The latter, however, frowned slightly and then turned over, causing Wise's hand to accidentally slip onto her chest area. At the same time, she opened her eyes.

Seeing this, Wise didn't subconsciously grope her a couple of times. Instead, he quickly tried to retract his hand. After all, if he really did something like that, he would probably not be long for this world. But even so, it was already too late. Ellen looked at Wise's retracting hand, and at the same time, the lingering touch on her chest. Instantly, like a small fish being grilled, her face turned red, and with a backhand motion, she was about to pin Wise down onto the bed.

Wise, who was still dazed, was undoubtedly subdued by Ellen's strength. The posture they were in now was: Wise lying on the bed, with Ellen sitting on top of him, one hand pressing on his chest, the other gripping his wrist, and her tail also pressing on his legs to ensure he wouldn't move around.

"Y-y-you, what did you do to me?!"

At this moment, Ellen was acting like a pure and innocent young girl. No, it should be said that she was one to begin with, it was just that because of her usual environment, she didn't show it.

"That's not it, Ellen! Listen to my explanation first..."

"Fine. I'll give you a chance to explain clearly."

"This is my room..."

"!!!"

"But I didn't do anything! It was only because you suddenly fainted that I brought you here! And that just now was just an accident!"

At Wise's reminder, Ellen also recalled some of the scenes before she fainted. "I suddenly fainted... That's right! I just fainted suddenly because I was too sleepy!"

Recalling the vague fragments of her memory, how could Ellen possibly admit that she was the one who had done those things? So compared to that, the current reason was easier to accept.

"So, can you let me go first?"

"Mmph..." Hearing Wise's reminder, Ellen finally came back to her senses. Then, ashamed and angry, she subconsciously swung a slap. Although she reacted at the last moment and held back some of her strength, a loud slap was still inevitable.

The three people downstairs also came up to check on the situation after hearing the sound, only to see Wise covering his face and Ellen at the side, turning her head away shyly without saying a word.

...

"I'm very sorry. My brother actually did such a rude thing. Please, Ellen, be magnanimous and forgive him this one time."

Back at the dinner table, Belle, after understanding what had happened upstairs, sincerely apologized to Ellen on Wise's behalf.

"No, you don't have to be so dramatic..." Ellen, knowing that the real situation was actually a misunderstanding, also felt a little guilty about slapping Wise. After all, she hadn't held back much. Right now, Wise was still using an ice pack to reduce the swelling on his face.

"Even so, the fact that it caused you so much trouble, Ellen, is all because of my brother. So please don't refuse. Eat more of the food my brother made, as his apology."

Ellen was a bit surprised to hear this. She didn't expect that all the delicious food on the table was made by Wise alone. "Alright then, it would be rude of me to refuse." As she spoke, Ellen also tried a bite, and then her eyes instantly widened. "It's... it's delicious!"

At this moment, Ellen didn't know how to describe it anymore. All she could say was that Wise's cooking was countless times better than Lina's. Although, if the latter were to hear this, she might feel sad, but it was indeed a fact.

"Right? Right? I also think it's delicious. I feel like I can't live without Wise anymore, meow~" Nekomiya held the small fish in her bowl and began to gnaw at it without any regard for her image. Although she could use chopsticks, this way was clearly more suitable for her.

However, Nekomiya's casual remark made Anby and Belle's movements pause slightly. As for Ellen, it wasn't quite at that point for her yet. On a side note, Nekomiya's favorability at this time had already reached 89.
