"The preliminary experiments were successful."
"How is the power, Welt?"
Tian Shi looked at the belt in front of him, then asked Welt, who was standing next to him.
Of course, he has to ask Welt about Herrscher-related matters.
"Perhaps it is enough to call it 'The Key of God'."
Welt looked very carefully at the various data on the instrument.
"I have almost grasped the general structure and principle of this thing."
The power of the Herrscher of Reason condensed into a belt that was exactly the same as the one on the experimental table, shining with a faint lightning light.
"Well, there's no problem with the power."
"Very good, we can prepare for the next experiment now. I'll leave its safety in your hands."
"Understood."
"I have the Honkai Energy Inhibitor. I'll take care of this little thing."
Welt also knew that this matter was no longer a joke, so he decisively agreed.
After a few injections of Honkai Energy Inhibitor, a common Herrscher can be directly reduced to their original form, provided the needle can be injected.
But for Welt, this is not a problem at all.
Are you afraid of the Soul Steel needle?
"But then again..."
The serious look on Welt's face quickly faded, revealing a gossipy expression.
"Senior, what happened between you and Sister Nancy over the past two years?"
Edison heard the sound and looked at Welt.
"What could have happened?"
Tian Shi shoved Welt's big face away in disgust.
"So, Senior, are you a loli-con man?"
Welt said bluntly.
"No wonder you and Dr. Einstein have such a good relationship."
"Einstein was a ghost loli back then. Even when we met, the 16-year-old Einstein was still a girl, right?"
Tian Shi refused to admit it.
Upstairs is Rita, the big-breasted older sister he likes, well, better if she wears black stockings.
Tian Shi's opinion is black stockings > white stockings > bare legs > mixed colors.
Well, it has nothing to do with loli or anything.
But then again, Einstein wore black stockings on rare occasions, like when she wore a skirt...
Ahem, I got off topic.
"Senior, your rebuttal is really quite weak."
Welt squeezed in and said.
"The way the little girl next to you looks at you is obviously wrong."
Welt pointed to Bronya.
"How did you know just by looking at Bronya's expressionless face?"
"A man's intuition?"
"It's really disgusting to say that. Do you want to go look for potatoes with Ryoma?"
"What am I dragged into this for?"
Raiden Ryoma protested.
"Do I need a reason to oppress my men?"
Tian Shi spoke the tyrant's words without any expression.
Welt pursed his lips and said.
"Well, male intuition is a joke. I suddenly sensed a similar determination in that girl as in Dr. Einstein."
"Hmm? What kind of nonsense is that?"
"Is it that feeling of... uh... always looking forward to the day of the showdown?"
Welt looked at Tian Shi as he spoke.
Obviously, Einstein's victory or defeat must be related to Tian Shi.
"I'm very sorry. I don't feel that way at all."
He also met Einstein in person.
Other than playing a prank to trick him, Tian Shi didn't find anything related to "decisive victory"... Could it be "decisive underwear"?
Forget it.
What are you thinking about?
With Einstein's physique, it's not up to her to wear these kinds of things.
"Well, after all, no one knows what Dr. Einstein is thinking."
Welt didn't directly deny it but nodded.
After all, he had been there for a long time and must have experienced Einstein's serious pranks.
"But of course, Senior, you are not going to..."
"Ahem!!"
Welt had only said half of his words when Edison's deliberate cough came from behind him.
Welt: "..."
Welt looked back and saw a murderous flash in Edison's eyes: if you dare to suggest he go look for that Einstein woman, you are dead.
"..."
One of the rules for surviving in Anti-Entropy: never get caught in the Shura field of the Leader and the beautiful female scientists.
Sometimes, offending a woman is more terrible than offending Otto.
Thinking this, Welt quietly shut up.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
Welt made an excuse to sneak away without hesitation.
If this continues, you might end up talking too much and making mistakes.
"Snort..."
Edison glared at Welt.
That's why she didn't want to bring Welt here.
Although she is the former Leader, theoretically her resources and prestige in Anti-Entropy are unparalleled, but emotionally... she is in the vulnerable group, okay?
The veteran scientists are: Einstein, Tesla, Schrödinger, Planck, and her.
And the first four are from the same family!
Welt was born in Lab 42 and was undoubtedly an "Einsteinian."
Looking at it this way, it seems she is the one who is isolated and helpless, isn't she?
Moreover, even though Anti-Entropy is huge, Edison couldn't even find an ally: the only possible ally, Reanna, didn't care about these things.
For some reason, Edison suddenly subconsciously glanced at Bronya, who was in a daze.
This child... cough, cough, cough, what is she thinking about?
Edison pinched her thigh indifferently.
These two are just brother and sister.
They don't even sleep in the same bed anymore.
Why are you so suspicious?
And Bronya is only 14, even if she is in puberty...
Wait, if it's puberty, once you start thinking about the opposite sex... who will she be thinking about?
Edison's eyelids twitched, and she felt as if she had discovered something extraordinary.
Tian Shi seems to be the only man in the orphanage.
What if the girls in the orphanage enter puberty... no, puberty...?
No, no, no... this idea is too crazy.
She should still believe in Tian Shi's character.
"Although that's what I said, some things can't be stopped once they start."
Welt's previously muttered words echoed in Edison's ears again.
I have to admit, it might be difficult for others to say, but as for Bronya... as for the relationship between Tian Shi and Bronya, is it necessary to say who Bronya will set her sights on once she enters puberty?
Is it possible that there is another 14-year-old girl among my opponents?
"Nancy? Nancy?"
Tian Shi reached out his hand and waved it in front of the dazed Edison.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Thinking... ahem, nothing."
Edison came back to her senses and coughed twice to cover the embarrassment on her face.
"By the way, since there are no problems with the experiment, when will Mei come over for the next stage of the experiment?"
The best way to change the subject is to find something serious to say.
"Mei... don't worry, perform a few more sets of repeated experiments and gather more data first."
"Yes, that makes sense."
Edison nodded in agreement.
At that moment, Bronya, who was "dazed," also turned off the screen.
"I have no idea..."
Bronya couldn't help but murmur.
Although I have decided to turn the book's plot into reality, how should I do it?
Do I have to wait until Christmas day to tie myself up with a ribbon and deliver myself to my brother?
Not to mention how to hide this action from my brother, even if I do send myself, I will be kicked out if I am discovered, right?
Bronya thought quite depressedly.
Besides, Tian Shi is often possessing Reanna, so if something happens, he can immediately switch accounts.
Reanna was ruthless when preaching.
Therefore, it is impossible to solve the problem by "taking the initiative."
Do I have to sleep with my brother like before?
Although it's not impossible...
Having failed to come up with a solution, Bronya decided that might be a good idea.
The only drawback was that it was embarrassing...
.......
Night
"Brother, can you tell Bronya a few bedtime stories tonight?"
Bronya tried her best to maintain a calm expression as she spoke to Tian Shi.
"Ah?"
A hint of confusion appeared on Tian Shi's face.
"There's nothing wrong with telling stories... but, Bronya, haven't you stopped using those for a long time? What's wrong with you today?"
Now that Bronya is the oldest child besides Mei, it's not so much that she needs others to tell her stories, but rather that she can tell stories to other children.
"Bronya feels like it's been a long time since she heard her brother tell her stories."
"Is that so... Then there's nothing we can do."
Tian Shi, who was possessing Reanna, nodded upon hearing this reason.
So it was nostalgia, right?
This is an argument that cannot be refused.
"Well, let me see which book I haven't talked to you about..."
Tian Shi narrowed his eyes and picked up a book from the bookshelf.
But at that moment, someone knocked on the door.
Thump, thump, thump!
"Who... is Alliance Leader Brother here?"
Mei opened the door a little nervously and poked her head in with her homework notebook in hand.
"I have a problem I can't solve, Dad isn't around, can I ask for your help, Brother?"
"No problem, what question?"
Naturally, Tian Shi would not refuse Mei's request.
After getting Tian Shi's permission, Mei pushed the door open and walked in.
Is it an illusion?
Bronya felt something was wrong.
(I always feel like Sister Mei is looking at me?)
"Well... I want to know how to write the unknown quantities and equations for this problem."
Mei politely handed over the pen and paper.
"By the way, does it disturb Bronya's sleep?"
"No, Bronya is not a child anymore. She won't feel sleepy whenever it's ten o'clock."
"That's good... thank you for helping me, Brother."
"Well, let's start analyzing this question from its root..."
......................
Ten minutes later, 10:10
"Well, do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand completely. Thank you, Brother."
Mei thanked him with a smile while holding the exercise book.
"I'm very sorry to bother you so late at night."
"It's nothing, you can come to me if you have any questions."
Tian Shi didn't mind.
"But it's very late today, go to bed early. Don't you have to train with Reanna tomorrow?"
"Well, good night, Alliance Leader Brother~"
Mei waved her hand, closed the door, and left.
"Phew..."
Bronya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as she watched Mei leave.
After all, what she is doing now is what the book calls "cheating."
She was deceiving Mei and the small alliance with Seele behind their backs.
If she was discovered, the consequences would be disastrous...
........................
"What's wrong, Mei? What are those two people doing in there?"
Edison asked Mei downstairs.
"It's nothing, Edison... Ahem, Sister Edison, you worry too much, right? Bronya and the Leader are just siblings."
Mei said indifferently.
Bronya deceiving them... that kind of thing should be left to her and Seele to judge.
Although I don't know why Aunt Edison suddenly became so sensitive towards Bronya, it's better not to let Aunt Edison know about this.
After all, the three of them are, to some extent, in the same boat.
"Oh, something's wrong?"
It seemed Edison hadn't caught Mei's report.
"Really? Although I don't like to say it, don't forget that, in terms of seniority, I'm the same generation as your great-grandmother, Mei."
Edison was born in the 1930s and Ryoma in the 1970s, making them almost the same generation as Ryoma's grandmother and Mei's great-grandmother.
It seems virtually the same.
"So who are you playing a prank on?"
Edison knocked Mei's head with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Do you want me to talk to that Ryoma guy about something?"
"Mmm..."
Mei is very clear about her father's personality.
However, seeing Mei like this, Edison's expression softened.
The opportunity has arrived.
"Mei, do you know that we two are allies?"
Edison said to Mei with a smile on her face.
"Huh? Me, us?"
"That's right, don't you realize that you, Bronya, and Seele are not the same kind of people at all...?"
..........
(Stop thinking about that rope.)
Dark Seele couldn't take it anymore and said to Seele, who was covering herself with the quilt and reading a book with a small lamp on.
(You're hurting your eyes and it's completely useless. If you're capable, just run over, tie up Brother-sama, and sit on his waist.)
"Waaah... I'm looking because I'm scared."
Seele weakly retorted.
"And I was the one who was kidnapped..."
(Did I tell you not to think about those things? You want Brother-sama to tie you up, so you'd better pack your things and send yourself over on Christmas!)
"Christmas present?"
(No, I was just saying that. Why are you acting like you have this in mind?)
Shocking Dark Seele.jpg
Dark Seele is now increasingly confused about what the main personality thinks when it comes to love.
(I think you should clear the yellow waste from your head. You are a walking yellow waste now! Did you know, Seele!)
"Mmm..."
(Look at you! Every day you're hungry or thirsty. What great things can you accomplish in the future, Seele?)
"Mmm..."
"Eating, sleeping, and reading books—can there be anything worse?"
"Wuwuwu... Then what should I do...?"
(Take the initiative! I mean, let's take the initiative!)
Dark Seele said with a look of disappointment on her face.
(The crying child gets the milk! I need to win Brother's heart now! And then we can get married in two years!)
"M-marry?"
(Don't say that again!)
