No one expected Lisa's sudden attack.
Not even Jack, the person involved.
Amber and Eula were so nervous their throats felt like they were closing up.
Jean calmly watched the two who seemed to be kissing.
She understood Lisa well, just as Lisa understood her.
Although Lisa appeared to be an experienced older sister on the surface, deep down she was a lonely and love-starved witch, no less so than the pure-hearted Acting Grand Master.
For her to act so out of character,
There must be some deeper reason.
Hmm, yes, next time she applies for leave, I'll delay it by a week or two.
…
The two maintained that position for about a minute.
Jack sighed and slowly pressed Lisa back to her original spot.
"I understand, Lisa, is this your decision?"
She didn't want to maintain a so-called pure friendship between a man and a woman, but rather wanted him to make a choice.
But if he accepted her feelings, it would be a betrayal to the others.
Indeed, witches truly are selfish.
"Heh heh, what is my little darling saying? I don't understand at all~"
Lisa seductively brushed her hair behind her ear, looking as if she had the upper hand.
Jack then glanced at the other girls present.
"Choose me" was written on each of their faces.
At the same time, each also had the worry of being the one not chosen.
What kind of "If You Are the One" reverse selection segment was this?!
He exhaled a turbid breath, feeling an unprecedented calm, like the sky before an approaching storm.
"I will give you an explanation. Before that, please allow me to tell a somewhat long story, a story about an amnesiac girl searching for her brother."
Next, during the meal service.
Jack recounted the events related to the Archon Quests that originally occurred in Teyvat.
Everyone felt very familiar after listening, as if that was how things should have been.
But... something was missing.
"What about you, Traveler, why aren't you in your story?" Amber asked.
"Yes, I am not in my story, but this is the truth of the story I know. Lisa, what do you think is going on?"
"Are you trying to say that the Irminsul modified our perception? That you don't exist? That's impossible! You are here right now, and those weapons and artifacts, and Genesis Crystals... Wait! Where did you get Genesis Crystals? It seems I've never asked before."
Lisa, who graduated from the Sumeru Akademiya, knew some of Teyvat's most fundamental secrets.
However, precisely because she knew these secrets, Lisa began to fear knowledge, which led to her current laid-back attitude.
Jack stood up and scanned the few people present.
Lisa's behavior rang an alarm bell for him.
The famous girls on the Teyvat continent's rankings all had "flaws" to varying degrees; pursuing them through normal means, a person could work hard their entire life and still not win them over.
But the game system didn't care about that; a mere numerical affection level was like the world's underlying logic, unchangeable, unviolable.
Thus, with the high difficulty of increasing affection came their particularly intense emotions.
If not handled well, it could lead to a tragedy that would affect everyone.
Because not much time had passed since his transmigration, Jack still retained the behavioral habits of an ordinary person.
Subconsciously, he wanted to maintain the girls' emotions in an almost idealized way.
But he was wrong!
Terribly wrong!
Now he was a god! He was the Creator! He was the Fourth Calamity destined to conquer the stars and seas in the future!
He had the confidence and strength to overturn the table, so...
Let him break the rules of this rotten, cowardly eight o'clock drama-like emotional game!
"Miss ♦ Li ♦ sa ♦!"
Jack's modulated voice successfully captured everyone's attention, and then he began to chant.
"Why did I travel with the Traveler, but my story doesn't include me?"
"Why does everyone know about me but not my appearance?"
"Why do Genesis Crystals always appear in numbers of 8088?"
Lisa's pupils constricted: "No! Impossible!"
Jack said with a slight hoarseness the truth Lisa had always been unwilling to admit: "That's because in my eyes, you were all just people who only existed in a fantasy world! Since you want the answer, I'll give it to you!"
"Lisa!"
"..."
Lisa looked at Jack, who had become overbearingly assertive, and pursed her lips, saying nothing more.
"I like you!"
"Mmph!"
Jack directly hugged Lisa and kissed her.
Lisa was forced to part her lips, and after the kiss, she completely froze in her seat.
Then it was Acting Grand Master Jean's turn.
"Acting Grand Master Jean!"
"Traveler, you..."
"I like you too!"
"Mmph!"
Acting Grand Master Jean was also forcibly kissed, and she sat back down with a flushed face.
"Eula!"
"You, don't come over here!"
"I like you too!"
"Mmph!"
Eula looked at him with shame and indignation, as if she was about to pull out her greatsword and strike him down the next second.
"Finally, Amber!"
"Traveler, are you okay?"
"Thank you for still worrying about me until the end. Although you were once demoted from Teyvat's top Pyro Bow to Mondstadt's top Pyro Bow, I still like you!"
"Mmmph~"
Amber got the kiss from her beloved as she wished, but the process was somewhat absurd.
After doing all this, Jack returned to his original seat and spread his arms.
"No need to choose! From the moment I got your name cards, you are all my wings!"
At this moment, everyone fell into silent contemplation.
"—Um, your dishes... do you still want them?"
Sara looked at Jack's terrifying smile with some fear, asking cautiously.
She couldn't help but be afraid!
Reconnaissance Knight Amber, Spindrift Knight Eula, Librarian Lisa, and Acting Grand Master Jean – most of the current combat power of the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt had fallen here. She was afraid that if she wasn't careful, the flames of war would engulf her.
Poor Acting Grand Master Jean and the others, they actually ended up with such a mentally unstable friend.
"Please just put the food on the table, we'll handle it ourselves."
"Okay, okay!"
Sara put down the dishes, not daring to stay for another moment, immediately ran off, and then hid to peek.
The outburst ended, and Jack had calmed down. He divided the food on the table and said to the others.
"Let's eat first. Even if you want to hit me, you need to have the strength, right?"
After he finished speaking, Eula immediately looked up and glared at him fiercely.
Acting Grand Master Jean and Amber said nothing, silently beginning to eat.
Lisa, on the other hand, sighed.
After today, the Knights of Favonius would probably not be peaceful.
A belated lunch, eaten as if a lifetime had passed.
...
After the meal, on the way back to the Knights of Favonius.
The girls, led by Lisa, surrounded Jack, as if judges were presiding over a criminal.
Regarding Jack's statement that they were figures from a fantasy.
Except for Lisa, everyone else just took it as a fit of pique.
"1, 2, 3, 4, plus Lumine and the Liyue Qixing, that's exactly 6. Little darling, can you handle so many girls by yourself?"
Jack didn't think one emotional outburst would make them understand his resolve, but having understood his true self, his harem will was extremely firm at this moment.
"Whether I give up or make a choice, someone will always get hurt; that's something no one can avoid. Rather than living a lifetime of sorrow due to regret, it's better for me to bear everyone's pain and hatred."
"If you are willing to accept this equally divided affection, then let's achieve each other without regrets."
"If you are unwilling to accept this affection, you only need to attribute and transfer all negative emotions to me. This way, a world where no one gets hurt is complete!"
Acting Grand Master Jean, Eula, and Amber exchanged glances, all smiling bitterly.
In fact, they had known for a long time that the Traveler would not stop for any one person.
But they always held onto a glimmer of hope, wishing he would choose them, and selectively ignored the consequences when their rivals failed.
Now he had made a decision, but for them, it was a bittersweet one.
Gradually, including Lisa, the scales in the hearts of the few girls began to tilt towards the equal division of love.
In the days to come, perhaps they would regret today's impulsiveness, but at least at this youthful age, they had the courage to be impulsive.
So, there was only one answer.
