After Killua Confessed to Me

After transmigrating to another world, I even awakened a super-beauty buff. The System egged me on to use my looks to seduce a rich guy and reach the pinnacle of life.

Me: Hilarious. I can't be bothered.

Me: Are you kidding? I'm only twelve.

Unfortunately, the System was way too effective. A cool white-haired kid named Killua showed up, claimed he'd fallen in love with me at first sight, and said we could start dating right away. The System showed that his wealth was off the charts. He really was the perfect rich guy... little brother.

Me: …

I was unmoved.

Sorry, I'm a lazy fish who watches the clouds drift by and the flowers bloom and fall. Whatever, it's all fine, let's just leave it at that. Money isn't important, and the System can do what it wants. I'm not dating anyone. I'm practically dead inside. There are plenty of pretty people in the world, and if I'm not around, there's always someone else. There's really nothing to worry about...

...Then, on my way home, I accidentally stumbled upon the scene of him completing a mission. I stared at the little kid across from me, looking cold and bloodthirsty, clearly from the dark underworld...

Me: ...

Me: ...

Tears started streaming down my face.jpg

Wait, what? Help! That kid over there is actually that powerful? I turned someone like that down? Am I really that bold?

So the next time Killua came to see me, I timidly said yes.

Life with Killua was actually pretty peaceful. He was an easy boy to placate. He loved chocolate, arcade games, and video games. As long as he got his sweets, he stayed in a good mood all day. Well, fine, let's leave it at that. It's not like I can't live with one more little brother.

...Then his crazy older brother showed up at my door with his needles.

Me: ...

Me: ...

Tears started streaming down my face again.jpg

What is the deal with Killua? How can anyone have such a lunatic for an older brother? Needles! Needles are flying over here! He's threatening me with needles

Thankfully, the System came through, and I managed to cling to life.

But at his older brother's insistence, I tearfully broke up with Killua. I said he was too young and not ambitious enough, and didn't even have a steady job. I wanted a peaceful life, so we weren't right for each other.

Killua listened quietly, then said without a care, “So all I need is a job? You should've said so earlier, Yafina.”

“I'm going to take the Hunter Exam. You can come with me.”

The Hunter Exam...

What a fancy term...

I was exhausted and collapsed as soon as we started running, so he had to carry me. At a time like that, I asked him why he liked me. Was it because of my face?

Killua said no.

Killua said he just liked watching me get flustered and angry, then reluctantly agree anyway.

“It's super cute, Yafina.”

Me: ...

Me: ...

“Yafina likes a peaceful life, right? Then be with me. I can make sure your life stays peaceful. I can still beat people up, you know.”

Killua said meaningfully, after all, Yafina was so pretty.

and being pretty can be dangerous.

I didn't think much of my own beauty, until I heard that Killua had fallen out with his family because of me, that my bounty on the black market was on par with the Seven Beauties, and that his lunatic older brother Illumi was also eyeing me in silence. That's when I realized something was wrong.

Help, help, help, help, help, help me, help me, help me, help me...
