Chapter 43: Meow Meow Sighs

“Sigh, well then, I’ll go look for a job at a human convenience store.
I’m kinda curious about them—maybe I can even snag some free ice cream.”

Team Member One was still hung up on the ice cream he’d eaten at the school convenience store earlier.

He’d dropped it while fleeing, and the loss still stung.

Sure, ice cream had no nutritional value for Bloodkin, but it was surprisingly tasty.

“I’m pretty handsome, so maybe I’ll become a host.
Those places are discreet, and who knows, maybe some rich ladies will take a liking to me.
Play some ‘rich lady happy ball’ or ‘rich lady steel wire’ with them, and I could shave off years of struggle.”

Team Member Two had been fairly popular with girls back at the academy, with his striking good looks.

Too bad he had no interest in women.
When he hung out with girls, he was just keeping them entertained, never feeling any spark of romance himself.

He’d heard there was a species called “rich ladies” in the human world.

If he played his cards right, he’d surely be the first among the group to strike it rich.

“Then I’ll be a janitor.
The sanitation in human cities is awful—hardly fit for someone of my noble bloodline to survive in.
I’ve got OCD and a cleanliness obsession; it’s unbearable to look at.
Once the captain kicks the bucket, I’ll come back and take over as captain.”

When Team Member Three first arrived in the human world, he noticed the air quality was terrible—PM2.5 levels high enough to cause smog, and the ground was covered in dust!

Back at their Alpha Academy, the spotless white porcelain floors were so pristine they could reflect the color of a girl’s underwear.

The massive, dazzling chandeliers, the floor-to-ceiling windows, the neatly arranged desks and chairs—all so clean.
Compared to that, this place felt like a dump!

If Team Member Three hadn’t been born, Tian Tan City’s hygiene would be doomed to eternal filth!

“Hm, I’ve decided to get a job at the human Research Society.
Maybe I’ll even see that little loli again.”

Finally, it was Aibrune’s turn to speak.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the other three fell silent, staring at him with “Are you trying to get yourself killed?” looks.

Infiltrating the human Research Society?
Wasn’t that just asking for trouble?

The enemy was actively hunting them down to eliminate them.

But Aibrune didn’t see it that way.
He spoke passionately:

“Nothing can stand in the way of true, mutual love.
Our hearts are connected.
One day, we’ll meet again, and I’ll confess to her in the most noble way, then walk hand in hand to the grand hall of our wedding…”

“What level is your Taobao membership?”

“Don’t just drink, eat some food.”

“My piss is yellow; let me splash him awake.
If he dies, I’m taking over as captain.”

“You’re way too obsessed with becoming captain!”

Team Member Two, usually the reasonable one, couldn’t hold back anymore and spoke up.

“As an outsider, let’s be real here.
Honestly, she doesn’t seem to have any feelings for you.
Where’s this ‘mutual love’ coming from?
Plus, isn’t she, like, half-robot?”

“Even a heart of steel will melt under the heat of my burning love.
Ah… Haiyan~”

Aibrune launched into the Bloodkin’s signature romantic flair.

In the quiet, dark alley, the four brothers leaned on each other, letting out long sighs.
Far from home, displaced and wandering, unable to return, they collectively lamented the hardships of life.
If they’d known, they wouldn’t have taken this academy recruitment gig.

In the pitch-black surroundings, someone muttered:

“By the way, as Bloodkin, aren’t we kind of pathetic?”

The four fell into another silence.
Suddenly, a stray cat darted through the alley, staring at the four Bloodkin for a moment before shaking its tail and walking off.

Life’s tough, and even the meow meow sighs.
