Chapter 31: Hulk vs Hello Kitty

Following Ceil's advice, I admit, getting this small fluffy white puppy, is indeed a bad idea.

I want to keep him! He's so small and cute! How could I hand him over?

"My Lady?" Angie was looking at me curiously as I stared sadly at the small little guy.

"Hn?" I looked at my outrageously racked maid. Sweet Lord, Angie could you share?! I'm lacking over here...

"What will you name him?" She asked sweetly.

I looked at the little guy.

If.I.name.him.I.wont.leave.him!!!

"He'll be a gift, so I can't name him..." I said sadly.

"Oh! Who is he for? His Highness? Lord Vincent?" She asked sweetly.

One. Ceil is the devil, so he'd probably make stew out of this poor little guy. Two. Vincent is a cat person despite his animosity with Ricin. That's just a personal grudge. He must miss his big sister!

"It's for my professor-"

"A forbidden love?!" Angie?!

Your eyes are scary! Stop that! Don't drool! I swear she's reading those horrible romance novels again. The poor common woman and the handsome whoever aristocrat with tons of money and muscles.

"No! It's just to help me get access to the research facility. They won't let me in without his permission, but I've been told he doesn't allow anyone in. Ceil told me the Professor's weakness was cute things... so I thought I'd bribe him with a puppy!" I said excitedly.

Angie gave me another weird look.

"My Lady, why not just go use sweet words on him? If he likes small cute things, I don't mean to be rude but... my Lady fits that description well. You're shorter than the average Lady by a lot, you're small, and your features resemble a doll. You fit the criteria just fine" she said curiously.

Was I...

Really that short? I suppose the higher heels I wear than the average girl does support my slight complex.

My mother and farther are so tall!

Even the game Rosalia was much taller!

Ricin said it was likely my experimentation. It likely stunted my growth.

I should've thought that through. My past life, I was tall as hell. So now, I'm just experiencing the other side of the spectrum.

"So I just, what? Ask? What if he says no?" I ask tiredly. This puppy wasn't easy to acquire. The breeder was really stingy!

"Use the puppy dog eyes you always show to your parents to get your way" she said easily.

Oh! I didn't think that would work outside of home. If I treat the Professor like my father, I will certainly gain entry! Backup plan will be to give Benjamin away, but for now, he's mine.

I named him...

"Benjamin! We may stay united!" I cheered happily as the puppy licked my cheek with a wagging tail.

Professor Diazo was free today. No classes due to it being a Sunday. I knew Professor likes to come in on Sunday to privately work from my amazing stalking skills built up from hiding from Ceil.

I swear, if he wasn't a child himself, and a Prince, I would've filed for child abuse.

Peeking into the grand and spacious lecture hall, I saw Professor on stage with some notes spread out and some beakers left on the table. The chalk board had multiple theories we discussed in earlier classes, and some hypothesis.

He looked awkward. Like he should be holding a mighty sword on the battle field, than in a nice suit and lab coat. Such a big man holding such small beakers.

It this what they call gap moe? I get it now. I truly do. It's funny but cute.

Benjamin was left with a pouting Ricin in the room. Easily slipping inside, I hide behind some curtains to get a closer look at his work.

"Come out" I froze. Sharp dark eyes looked right at my hiding place! How?!

Oh right. He was in the military.

I'm an idiot. I should've used a damn magical tool!

Suddenly a dagger stuck into the wall near my head.

I swore I saw my life flash before my eyes. Are you planning to murder a student, Professor?!

I quickly made my eyes teary, these puppy dog eye's are not to be trifled with. Even my hard accomplished General Father, has seen defeat by my hands!

Making sure I my legs trembled properly, and I looked rightly distressed, did I step out into plain view.

"P-Professor...?"

Daizo's eyes widened in horror. He threw a knife at a student! He thought it might've been an old comrade coming to mess with him!

"Lady Vermillion" he looked shocked and pale.

"I-I'm sorry for hiding... I was just too nervous to speak up from all the way up there..." Rose was cheering herself in her mind. Yes! Young Professor, fall! Fall for the cuteness! Fall for me and give me your privileges to the science facility!!!

Maybe she was turning into a villain. This isn't a very hero thing to do.

"No, I'm sorry for scaring you. Are you... alright?" He looked nervous as he came closer to my perfect honey trap.

The big ex-military Officer, Diazo, indeed has an extreme love that he hides, for small cute things.

The short and petite Rosalia, with long soft pink hair and big sparkling dark pink eyes... well, she's too precious not to adore. The slight redness to her eyes and tears, made her all the more endearing and sweet.

What could he do? He wanted to pick the little thing up and hold her.

If she wasn't such a big name... he damn might've.

"What is Lady Vermillion doing here on her day off?" He was deeply curious. Most are terrified of him, with his large stature and sharp eyes. Many students dropped his classes after the first day based on his looks alone.

Surprisingly, Lady Vermillion, was not one of them.

Not that Diazo doubted the young girl's skills.

He had heard of her experiments with farming, and agriculture which resulted in a lot of improvement towards the Kingdom's food supply. She was most certainly a smart girl.

And he threw a damn knife at her head...

he felt deep guilt.

Rose inwardly had peed herself a little. She didn't expect that! Yet she was fairly confident in her skills, so she wasn't too bothered. It wouldn't have hit her.

She wasn't holding a grudge.

"I came to ask for Professor..." she trailed off, her soft sweet voice made a small shiver go down Diazo's spine. His face stiffened frighteningly. He looked like a demon!

Was he turning into one of those...? A pedophile? He loved cute objects and animals, but small children had never moved his heart before.

He was 25 years old and unmarried, as well as considered a very eligible bachelor.

This girl was 10 years his junior...

"Me...? What for?" He inquired. Why was he feeling excited?

He certainly wanted to smush her small face. To feel how soft her cheeks were. See if she was lovable like a doll...

Stop! He mentally yelled at himself. He was getting nervous around this little girl, who barely looked her age.

Was this a honey trap...?

It was a honey trap, I was giving him big puppy dog eyes, and leaning on the poor big man as his sanity began to crumble.

That's right professor... give in to the loli, that's right, cough up the damn facility connections and supplies to this plutonium digging woman!

As the Professor was about to speak again, a voice interrupted them.

"Gross Professor, hitting on such a young girl?" I froze once more.

This mother fu-

"Kai!" Diazo laughed. No! My plan?! He was so close to giving in and petting my head!

$&@28371$&&&$&&&sbfjeiqbqiabrjrbrkcbwj!!!!!

I'm stunned. Unbelievable. This guy has had the worst timing all week! First, he ditches all classes I have with him; then he shows up when I speak to any male... even the 90 year old share holder. He has the worst timing!

I had already deemed him a crime against humanity with his looks, and with his horrible timing and random appearances, he's a true big villain boss.

Kai... you bastard!

"What brings all my students here today I wonder?" Diazo laughed, moving back from me much to my dismay. No! I should've coaxed him with Benjamin!

"I came to see your latest theories, didn't expect I'd see Lady Rose" Kai said casually, sauntering over to our location.

His presence alone made it hard for me to breathe, so go away you cat burglar!

"Sir Violet, a pleasure as always..." I hope you can see the displeasure on my face Kai. I hope you see it. Look at it Kai, see my cute face turning sour.

His bright blue eyes, which reminded me somewhat of my favorite leopard, narrowed dangerously.

I didn't back down this time though.

Before, I had been extremely intimidated by that look.

Like a cat watching a mouse steal its milk... but once I treated it like how Xavier occasionally gives me that look when I cause a mishap... then it's less frightening.

Though, my instincts do tell me this guy is dangerous. Especially with that horrible flirty attitude and tendency to skip classes.

He's basically a delinquent! A beautiful one, but most antagonist delinquents are thrillingly gorgeous.

"So formal, I wish you'd call me by my name..." he said in a low voice, moving in between me and Diazo.

I can feel my soul and my precious materials floating away.

I was so close! To tasting the sweet victory of having plutonium. Such a radioactive element... so many possibilities... just to own it. That's all I want.

Do these assholes even know that I cried with joy when I read the news article DESCRIBING PLUTONIUM EXACTLY?! And the fact that those fools have no idea what it does?!

They no nothing about it yet... if I could get my hands on it, I could quickly explain it and possibly even re-name it!

Yet here I am... only 5ft away from my goal's gate keeper... and I've got the apparent school bad boy standing in my way.

Should I get violent?

"I'd rather die" I fiercely glared at Kai as he laughed in a casual manner. Relaxed.

His uniform was as disorganized as always too.

"Well. I'm glad to have such dedicated students! Why don't you two join me then?" Diazo was a bit disappointed but happy to have been snapped from his stupor. He nearly touched a student! Such a taboo and career ending mistake would spell his ruin. He secretly thanked Kai in his heart.

Kai spent his time leisurely teasing Rose as she attempted to get access subtly and not subtly to the research facility. Apparently it's closed off to first year students... only senior students are allowed access!

Watching her constantly changing expressions, Kai relaxed a bit.

Still ever aware of a lingering shadow continuing to follow her.
