"I will get my revenge."
...It's hard to say whether this kid can handle losing or not.
"After what happened last time, did you feel... anything like a pleasant sensation?"
"...The moment my mind went blank was very relaxing, but being manipulated at will and having no power to resist was very unpleasant. Sooner or later, I will make Liu Bai taste what it's like to be played with."
"...Then good luck."
"I will."
"After ten minutes, you will regain consciousness and forget the strange feeling of time passing."
Although Liu Bai was a little curious as to why Hua Huo was wearing such a suspicious coat, he thought about it again and realized that it was normal for someone to dress suspiciously since they were out in the middle of the night.
He's rushing back to his room to work overtime.
"Yes."
"...Hello? Huh? I just left and we're already short-handed? And Black Tower and Ruan Mei are at odds again? Uh... okay, I'll go back now."
Damn it, looks like I won't be able to go back to work overtime.
Why am I being drafted for just one trip to the lab?
……
"...Lord Liu Bai said he won't be back tonight."
With bandages on and pig-ear headdresses, Xianyun and Shenhe, dressed in a tight-fitting suit and holding a whip, share the news they have received.
"I received it too."
Shen He nodded calmly, but his slightly somber tone and the untied red rope beside him suggested that his inner thoughts and outward appearance might have become polarized.
"Isn't it enough for a leader to inspect the laboratory once in a while?"
Yae no Miko frowned slightly.
There are a lot of people here tonight.
Well, after all, whose time it is at night depends entirely on who takes the maid shift or who can get a spot first.
But Liu Bai hasn't been around for the past two days.
For example, today's maids, Xianyun and Shenhe, can't find anyone to serve them even if they want to.
Then there are those who came tonight to try and take the bed.
Yae no Miko, Mikoto Chiyo, Rita, Eden.
"That's not quite right. I remember Dr. Mebius and Dr. Ruan Mei both said that Mr. Liu Bai has a talent in this area."
"Talent is talent..."
Miyuki Chiyo rolled her eyes. "Both Chikage and I think the General has the talent to reach the pinnacle of martial arts."
"I would also say that Liu Bai has the talent to become the agent of the biggest star of this century."
"...Everyone is stating facts objectively, so stop boasting."
Rita rolled her eyes at Eden. "Let's get past Frynn first."
"...They are artists who are hundreds of years old."
Eden rolled his eyes at Rita.
Nonsense. Give her a few hundred years and a divine position. Politically, she might not be as good as Furnessa, but she would never admit defeat when it comes to singing or performing.
"Alright, alright, you two stop bickering. Anyway, we've all reached an agreement, right? Wasting time on unnecessary things, no matter how talented you are, is a wrong path that must be corrected!"
Mikoto Chiyo spoke with a strong and resonant voice.
"...Actually, I have a bit to complain about. Do you guys think the righteous path goes out partying every night?"
Xianyun pushed up his glasses and said somewhat awkwardly.
"The most shameless old woman should shut up!"
Apart from Shen He, everyone unanimously criticized Xian Yun.
Xianyun: "..."
Xianyun blushed and pulled the blanket over herself.
"So, who will go and call the general back?"
The Yae no Miko, leaning against the wall, got down to business.
"..."
no one.
Despite the clamor, the laboratory... is indeed an important place.
They'd say a few words, but they'd be too embarrassed to actually go over.
"Chiyo, you were the one who brought this up, weren't you?"
"How did it become my suggestion?"
When Mikoto Chiyo saw that Yae no Miko was about to shift the blame onto her, she panicked.
"Isn't it you?"
"It's you."
"Everyone heard it."
Everyone joined in kicking someone when they were down—or rather, kicking someone when they were down.
This hairstyle definitely belongs to Mikoto Chiyo.
"Go and call the general back."
Yae no Miko showed the slightest respect for her elders.
"I...fine! I'll have it! I'm getting meat tonight, so you bastards better not come over here hoping for a bite of the soup!"
Seeing the group kicking her while she was down, Mikoto Chiyo gave a cold laugh in anger.
"Today I'll show you my charm!"
416
Chapter 416 These two plans don't seem to conflict, right?
"General!"
Mikoto Chiyo excitedly burst into the laboratory hall.
Shh, keep your voice down.
"Kiana?"
Mikoto Chiyo was startled when she saw who was speaking.
"What are you doing in the lab, you little brat? Are you here to cause trouble?"
"You're causing trouble without Aunt Chiyo."
Kiana, whose double eyelids were slightly droopy, rolled her eyes.
"...Think about it carefully, you're not the kind of girl who's so idle that you'd cause trouble at a time like this."
Mikoto Chiyo nodded. "So what you're doing is..."
"To be a guinea pig."
"Pfft..."
"What a joke! Didn't Liu Bai also start out as a guinea pig?"
Do you really think that the "white rat" that Möbius was talking about is the same as the "white rat" you're talking about now?
Miyuki Chiyo now understands that what these laymen consider consumables that can be wasted at will actually have a rather high status in the laboratory.
"Alright, alright, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. Where is my general right now?"
"Go straight ahead, turn left, the only room with lights on is where Liu Bai is... I'm going to get some fresh air."
"Thank you."
Mikoto Chiyo didn't bother asking Kiana what had happened to this guinea pig.
"Remember to be quiet."
Kiana turned her head and gave a hint.
"Know it."
Despite her appearance, she is still a well-educated and reasonable Yamato Nadeshiko!
That kind of natural airheadedness is completely different from Ying's!
Chiyo Mikoto followed the path Kiana had shown her.
Sure enough, they found the room Kiana had mentioned.
Mikoto Chiyo gently knocked on the door.
There was no response from inside.
"?"
Mikoto Chiyo was a little puzzled, and gently opened the door.
The first thing you see is Liu Bai sitting at his desk, looking thoughtful.
(Hmm... He's completely in work mode now... This makes the general even more captivating.)
"...Ah, Chiyo?"
The sound of the door opening finally woke Liu Bai, who looked at the person who came in with some confusion, "Is there something you need?"
"I... um... I've come to see my husband."
After a moment of panic, Mikoto Chiyo answered in a soft voice.
At times like this, you should bring a pot of chicken soup or something!
Oh no! Has my wife completely failed me this time?
"Oh."
Fortunately, Liu Bai didn't seem to have any time to chat with her. He just nodded slightly and looked back at the scrap paper on the table.
Yukichiyo breathed a sigh of relief at Liu Bai's "cold shoulder".
"Um... my lord, is there anything I can do to help?"
Mikoto Chiyo walked to Liu Bai's side and asked softly.
Although they can't have sex, love isn't entirely made up of such low-level interests.
It's great to work together!
"Chiyo, can you do math?"
"This...of course I can."
"Then help me calculate the contents of these two sheets of scrap paper."
Without even looking up, Liu Bai pulled out two sheets of toilet paper.
Let me calculate it?
Mikoto Chiyo took the draft paper and glanced down at it.
"..."
Oh no, I feel like my brain has been forcibly stimulated.
When she said she could do math... she meant basic arithmetic like adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing numbers related to daily necessities!
What are all these unfamiliar symbols?
