Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

"Hmm...maybe...never mind."

Liu Bai glanced at Rita.

Actually, Rita could try asking her out.

But speaking now would make me seem like a lecherous scoundrel, which would be too abrupt.

“How about I contact Miss Fu Shi for you?” Rita clearly didn’t notice Liu Bai’s gaze. “I was instructed by someone to—”

"Is someone calling me?"

Shi Bao kicked the door open.

"Hey! Liu Bai, you're still not up!"

“Uncle-Master…” Lin Chaoyu stood behind Shi Bao, looking at his cheap uncle-master with some embarrassment.

"...Is there something you need?" Bai really didn't expect Shi Bao to come looking for him.

Although their relationship is indeed quite good... well, it's probably more like Xiao Guizi...

Well, the brotherhood between me and Xiao Guizi is ruined; the brothers no longer exist.

"Want to go shopping?" Shi Bao walked into the room casually, then casually looked at Liu Bai's muscles peeking out from under his messy pajamas.

“…Excuse me.”

Lin Chaoyu turned her head away shyly, looking as if she didn't want to see anything improper.

"What fun thing have you spotted this time?" Under Shi Bao's gaze, Bai finally noticed that his clothes were disheveled and silently straightened them.

"I didn't like it, but I can look at it now~"

"...Sorry, I have some official business to attend to, I'm not free today," Bai said decisively.

Shopping with Shibao... it wasn't exactly a bad experience. Shibao is quite sensible now, pretty, clingy, and adorable even when she's talking non-stop.

But at this point in time...

Liu Bai looked at Lin Chaoyu.

Isn't that a bit too abrupt?

And why did Lin Chaoyu come with Shi Bao?

Let's be reasonable. If Shi Bao really had a "flash of inspiration" when he thought of something, then he would definitely come to me on his own. Even if he got the inspiration from someone else, he would definitely put that person out of his mind for the time being.

With Shi Bao's impatient nature, coupled with his high mobility and ability to fly, who can keep up with him when he takes off running?

unless……

Liu Bai felt that he might have been caught in an invisible net.

"How come you always have something to do?" Shi Bao made no attempt to hide her expression—so much so that Liu Bai noticed Shi Bao glancing at Lin Chaoyu. "Then tell me, when are you not busy?"

"I..." Bai glanced at Rita.

Although it's not nice to say it like that, Rita is indeed much more useful as a secretary than Kaffa—of course, the addition of efficient administrative staff like Emerald, Topa, and Estád is also one of the reasons.

As a result, although Liu Bai has a general idea of ​​what's going on, he's not entirely clear on the details anymore.

"Today?" Rita smiled. "Just kidding—Miss Fu Shi, if you make an appointment now, Mr. Liu Bai can accompany Ms. Lin Chaoyu shopping tomorrow."

Lin Chaoyu, who was standing next to him, suddenly felt a sudden jolt of breath.

"Then let's book it now! Book it for tomorrow—the whole tomorrow!"

Whether Shi Bao was careless or only heard the first half of Rita's sentence, he did not refute her at all.

“Mr. Liu Bai, what do you think…” Rita asked Liu Bai in a rather serious manner.

Liu Bai could only roll his eyes and nod in agreement.

Alright, anyway, I've been busy with things these past few days—whether important or trivial—and I've definitely had less interaction with Lin Chaoyu since Chi You.

Before the Battle of Chiyou, Lin Chaoyu and Fu Hua came to my side quite frequently—although it seemed like they were being forced to.

"Okay, it's settled then! You're not allowed to use any official business as an excuse to fob me off tomorrow."

After saying this, Shi Bao led Lin Chaoyu, who had already covered her face, out.

“You’re living a rather blissful life,” Rita teased. “Alright, now please change and go home—if you don’t hear from us within twenty-four hours, as you can see, Miss Fu will provide you with emergency assistance.”

"...Thank you so much."

Rita really did outsmart me.

"So, do I still need to contact Dr. Mebius?" Rita continued to ask.

"Of course we'll contact each other, otherwise it won't be enough for 24 hours."

Having been tricked, Liu Bai responded with a lewd joke.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Dr. Ruan Mei, good news." The Herrscher of Domination slowly approached Ruan Mei, who was sitting at the dressing table.

"Ok?"

"Oh no, madam, good news!"

"...I wanted to ask what the good news is."

Ruan Mei put down her lipstick, somewhat speechless at the Herrscher of Dominion's servile attitude.

"Ahem, the good news is that Master will be back today."

"..."

Ruan Mei's hand trembled as she put the lid on, leaving an arc-shaped mark on the lipstick with the rim of the lid.

Then, Nguyen Mai took a deep breath.

These past two days have had both good and bad aspects.

The good thing is that I was indeed mentally prepared.

The bad news is... as time went on, I developed some of the anxieties that I used to only have.

In short, it means "girlish heart".

The reason is that she would take out the light cone from time to time and look at it.

Although the person on the light cone is also Ruan Mei who has stepped onto the path of science... no, the forbidden path.

However, the main theme of this light cone is nostalgia.

As she continued to have the pregnancy, Ruan Mei's memories of the past became clearer and clearer.

A girlish heart that has long been buried...

(Perhaps it was never buried at all, but simply hidden away.)

Ruan Mei looked up at the ceiling.

(Parents...parents...father, mother...)

What were their motivations for giving birth to themselves?

...Something like it is now?

No, is it really possible to find someone similar to her in her current situation?

Ruan Mei is quite sensible; her relationship with Liu Bai... is still rather strange, isn't it?

They haven't done any of the things that normal lovers would do... Well, the light cone in their hand probably counts as one.

Everything else seems to have... crossed the line a bit.

Even for couples deeply in love, isn't this a bit too fast?

Even if Liu Bai slows down, there are indeed some elements on her body that can attract one's attention—especially the ability to understand "human language".

Ruan Mei reflected on herself again—but she had no intention of backing down.

With a long sigh, Ruan Mei subconsciously touched her lower abdomen—she felt her body was already impatient.

This made her even more eager to try.

(But then again, although I've made up my mind... I wonder if this will scare Liu Bai?)

Should I find a reason to make it seem like I'm taking things step by step?

Although her logic was quite clear, Liu Bai felt like he was constantly changing his mind.

...That seems like something to consider.

Are there any projects that you haven't reported?

Last time, I used my hands and mouth to participate in the experiment.

This time, she sacrificed her body for another experiment... "A mad doctor who would do anything for his experiments."

Wouldn't this persona seem more normal?

However, some preparations need to be made beforehand.

"...Is there any food left at home?" Ruan Mei murmured, but this question didn't need an answer from the Herrscher of Domination. Having lived here for almost two days, Ruan Mei, who had a certain foodie nature, couldn't possibly be completely ignorant about refrigerators. "I'll go make some pastries."

“...Um, Madam, I just received some bad news from someone else.”

The words of the Herrscher of Domination made Ruan Mei, who had just stood up, stop in her tracks.

This development...

"Did something suddenly come up and you can't come?" Ruan Mei's mind and body suddenly calmed down, and she asked calmly.

For scientists like them, standing someone up is quite common—after all, everyone has endless experiments to do, and if a project happens to have a breakthrough on a certain day, then of course they have to stand someone up.

It's quite normal for administrative staff like Liu Bai to encounter this situation.

"Oh no... it might be even worse than that?"

The Dominator was contemplating how to explain things to Ruan Mei.

"Hmm... Dr. Möbius will be coming too."

“…I see.” Ruan Mei nodded after a brief moment of thought. “It is indeed bad news, comparable to discovering a Black Tower doll peeking into my laboratory.”

Is this bad news?

Perhaps—anyway, if Ruan Mei were to discover the Black Tower doll in her own laboratory, she would definitely use it for experiments first.

It's not a big deal if there's another Möbius on the bed in a little while...

It's just a matter of making a few more batches of pastries.

“Mebius and I will add the elixir of love, mine less and Mebius more.”

Ruan Mei walked slowly towards the kitchen.

Having drunk the love potion several times, Ruan Mei later analyzed the composition of the drug from her own bodily fluids and the liquid left at the scene and replicated it—Ruan Mei was quite frank about the unscientific nature of this.

Love potion is simply the ultimate magic weapon to overcome a useless girlish heart.

"As for Liu Bai's share... let's just have something ordinary."

With one of them, Mebius, staying... his chances of survival are even greater.

(If only there were a reverse love potion... Hmm, that seems like something we could add to future discussions...)

Chapter 319 Beautiful Numbers

"Liu, Liu Bai asked me to go... cough cough!"

Mebius coughed twice to cover up his momentary panic.

"What happened?"

Mei turned her head with some curiosity.

"N-nothing...it's nothing..."

(The little white mouse actually wants me to wait in his room... Seriously, why use such an easily misunderstood way of saying that?)

This is absolutely, definitely a serious matter!
