"I'm back~♪"
The pure and flawless girl returned to her original spot.
"These are the pastries I just made. Everyone, come and have a taste."
The beautiful girl was as enthusiastic and generous as ever. Her role here was, as always, to act as the glue between everyone, holding together the parts that should have fallen apart, allowing them to exert force in one direction.
But the atmosphere today seemed a little different.
Neither Brian nor MEI had any intention of helping themselves, as if the two of them had engaged in a hearty and satisfying battle while she was away and still hadn't recovered.
"What's wrong, everyone?" Elysia's face was full of innocence and purity. "MEI, did your shoulder hit something? Why is it red?"
From Elysia's perspective, she could just see the difference in MEI compared to before.
Her face was slightly flushed, her eyes held a pearly shimmer, and her light pink lips also had a crystalline sheen.
At a glance, Dr. MEI didn't look much different from before, but if one's gaze drifted downwards, more oddities could be found.
Elysia, who never harbored malicious suspicions about her friends, focused her gaze, as if seeing through the gaps between the fabric fibers to the skin underneath, which was covered in red marks.
It was very red, as if ravaged by a pair of powerful hands until it could rise no more.
"It's... nothing." A flash of panic crossed Dr. MEI's eyes. "An Assault-class Honkai Beast broke in just now. Thanks to Brian for helping out, otherwise I might never have seen you again, Eli."
It was reasonable and seamless.
Because the corpse of the Herrscher of the End was placed in this bubble universe, even with Prometheus's full suppression, a considerable amount of Honkai was still generated.
The huge Honkai Beasts had been eliminated one by one, but Honkai Beasts like the Assault-class, which could be as small as a mosquito, could only be eliminated as they were seen.
For a weak woman with no fighting ability like MEI, an Assault-class Honkai Beast was indeed a not-insignificant threat.
"Is that so?" Elysia relaxed. "It seems leaving him with you was indeed the right choice."
Her tone changed.
"By the way, my dear Dr. MEI, having experienced the taste of being a damsel in distress, have you developed any fluttering feelings for my boyfriend?"
The speaker was careless, but the listener was attentive.
The mature female doctor gave an elegant yet awkward smile: "Eli, don't make such jokes. I'm your best friend."
The young Brian interjected at this moment: "There's an old saying, guard against fire, guard against thieves, and guard against best friends. Maybe all of Elysia's best friends have designs on me?"
He was an honest man who never lied.
Looking back on his life's journey from Nagazora City, Raiden Mei's best friend had designs on him, and Elysia's best friends had designs on him.
As long as it was a beautiful woman, she had improper thoughts about him.
He, this Inner World Protagonist, had it too tough. There were too many Valkyries in this world.
"How could that be?" The adulterous couple on either side of her were performing a front-and-back pincer attack by girls, almost cornering Dr. MEI.
The mature woman, whose acting skills were on point, had unconsciously learned to split her body in two and began to act without interfering with each other.
Her lower body, without hesitation, drew out her jade foot wrapped in deep black silk and kicked the man's leg.
Her upper body remained as elegant and dignified as ever, full of the intellectualism of a scholar, playing along with the two scoundrels' banter.
"Eli, you're overthinking it. Although your boyfriend is very outstanding, I am already an old woman. I wouldn't arouse his interest."
"That's not necessarily so~♪" Putting down her black tea, Elysia placed her hand, carved like warm jade, on the back of Dr. MEI's hand.
"This guy is a pervert who can't walk straight when he sees a beautiful girl. Beautiful girls of any age are within his hunting range."
A crystalline finger gently flicked, drawing a seductive wave over the mature figure.
"MEI's age is precisely the most beautiful time in a woman's life, and also the most tempting time for a boy. You can't just look down on yourself like this."
The warm, jade-like hand brought her warmth, while her black-silked jade foot was being played with by that man under the table.
This adulterous couple was actually attacking her from above and below, leaving her unable to even resist.
Not having prepared a MANTIS surgery and some human enhancement technology for herself was the biggest mistake of her life!
"Eli, you're joking. I've dedicated my entire life to the cause of fighting the Honkai. I don't have any thoughts about my own feelings." At this moment, the genius scientist was still sitting upright and proper.
If Elysia hadn't already figured out where that black-silked jade foot under the hip-hugging skirt had disappeared, she probably would have been deceived by her too.
"For me, helping human civilization get through its childhood and completing the great cause of fighting the Honkai is my life's pursuit and mission. I don't want to think too much about other things yet."
The image of a strong career woman who could abandon everything for her cause and pursuit was vividly portrayed.
Cold, ruthless, powerful...
But... secretly passionate!
Under her blue-pink gaze, Elysia actually understood everything.
This girl MEI had already finished her secret snack while she was away. Although she had been quickly defeated due to her trash-like combat power, she had also gained more time to clean up the battlefield.
But that being said, although she had cleaned up the cream and cheese that had fallen on her body from the secret cake-eating, the lingering scent on her skin could not be wiped away no matter what.
Of course, since she didn't confess on her own, Elysia was happy to pretend not to know.
After all, before they were honest with each other, teasing her for a while in the role of the 'cuckolded party' was also one of the greatest pleasures.
The little devil's horns grew out, and a heart-shaped tail swayed behind her.
The pink-haired beauty had a beautiful appearance but was toying with her friend like a demon playing with people's hearts.
Her face was filled with infinite beautiful aspirations for the future: "MEI, you can't say that now. The Stigma Project has already succeeded."
"We are also about to find a new way to completely overcome the Honkai. A beautiful future is within reach. Even you need to think carefully about your future life."
"Don't you want to wear the new clothes made by Eden herself with me and roam in a sea of beautiful and fragrant flowers?"
Her expression was pitiful, making it impossible for anyone to refuse.
Dr. MEI, who was bearing the brunt of it, was hit directly in the heart, almost moved to tears by this soul-stirring blow.
She was moved, and also pleasured.
Elysia was attacking her head-on, while that guy's man was shamelessly playing with her black-silked jade foot with his lewd abilities.
Her pure human bloodline made it impossible for her to even struggle. She almost drooled shamefully in her little mouth.
These two adulterous dogs were truly infuriating.
She could only make an excuse: "Eli, it's still too early to talk about these things. This bubble universe hasn't been connected to the Imaginary Tree yet, and there are still difficulties waiting for us in overcoming the Honkai."
"Alright, we still have a lot to do next. Let's get back to work."
Her full, black-silked beautiful legs pushed hard, breaking free from the hands that were playing with her.
MEI stood up gracefully, letting her wide white lab coat cover her figure.
She left, without any hesitation, yet with a hint of undisguisable discomposure.
Elysia, who was left behind, finally dropped her enchanting, succubus-like expression and gave the young Brian a mischievous smile.
"Was my performance just now perfect?"
"It couldn't have been more perfect!" A thumbs up!
"So how far did you and MEI get?" Elysia was very curious.
She, a beautiful girl who had been tainted white, was worried sick about her good sister's future happiness.
The black-haired youth's expression was calm, the strands of hair on his head tinged with an imperceptible yellow under the light behind him: "I did everything that could be done. It's just that her combat power is too trashy."
Elysia: "..."
Even her slender old waist was feeling a phantom pain.
Inner World Protagonist X Herrscher of Death. Powerful combat ability plus unparalleled stamina. Even a MANTIS couldn't withstand this guy's relentless attacks.
In Elysia's mind, the only person who could be this guy's opponent now was the soon-to-appear Herrscher of the End. Any other beautiful girl who came would be a freebie.
All of them would become another notch on his belt of conquests.
The thought of MEI's body, ripe as a peach that would gush juice with a squeeze, about to be ruthlessly ravaged by this guy, made even Elysia issue a warning: "Be gentle with my MEI. She's not like us who can withstand your ravages."
"Don't worry, I'll prepare a full set of MANTIS surgery and human enhancement technology for her."
Elysia: "..."
So you've already planned to make her into your shape?
...
"Finally... safe."
The moment her mature and voluptuous body was out of their sight, a wave of powerlessness and numbness, like a flood released from a sluice gate, surged through the female doctor's body.
Her long legs held onto the wall to keep herself from falling, her full thighs pressed together to barely form a support.
And on that mature face, rapid breathing with a trembling blush spread like ink, revealing the female doctor's true state.
That was so good! I almost blew my cover!
Fortunately, just as that guy was playing with her black-silked jade foot to the point of climax, almost making her drool like a fool, she promptly withdrew and didn't expose the fact that she was having a secret affair with Elysia's boyfriend.
It was truly comfortable, truly exciting, and also truly guilty.
At least for now, she didn't want Elysia to know about these things.
"I'd better go a little further, and then clean up."
The sore and weak female doctor returned to her residence on the lunar base. The warm water washed away her fatigue and scent.
The woman, covered in steam, walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a clean white towel. Unsurprisingly, she saw Prometheus, who had been waiting in the room for a long time.
"Prometheus, how's the situation?"
An ethereal mechanical voice sounded: "The operation is going smoothly. The energy network of this bubble universe is stabilizing under the action of the Dimensional Anchor. The next step of the operation is expected to be carried out in 49 hours."
49 hours...
"So it will take a full two days before they can leave here?"
The female doctor supported her forehead. The milky-white skin formed a seductive shape under the pressure of her muscles, like a thousand-layer cream cake that made one want to take a bite.
However, Prometheus was an artificial intelligence and had no such worldly desires.
Completing the mission and fighting the Honkai were the dogmas written into her underlying code.
"I have already given them the location of the Imaginary Godsbane. It is estimated that in 23 minutes, they will obtain the Imaginary Core and begin preparations to connect to the Imaginary Tree."
"..."
One by one, the items were reported by the cold and emotionless artificial intelligence girl. Most of them were things MEI had already anticipated.
It could even be said that, apart from the things that happened to her, everything else was more or less as planned.
"Is there anything else, Prometheus?"
This was a hint to leave, but the emotionless Prometheus couldn't pick it up.
"Additionally, regarding your matter, according to my calculations, you need to exercise restraint in your desires, otherwise there is a high probability that your body will be harmed before you complete your mission."
A single sentence made the originally calm Dr. MEI a little angry and exasperated: "This is none of your business, and I am very restrained!"
It's only the first day, how far could it have gone!?
Although she was weak, she hadn't reached that point yet, had she?
The emotionless Prometheus tilted her head and, based on MEI's exasperated expression, found the best description from her database: "Day one of nofap?"
MEI: "..."
Sometimes, an artificial intelligence with too high an intelligence level was not a good thing.
"Dr. MEI, I must remind you that the partner you have chosen is not a match for you in terms of physiological function. Even if a hundred of you were to go at it together, the result would be the same."
The cold data told a not-so-cold result. Dr. MEI's expression was gloomy with countless shades of red.
But Prometheus was fearless.
"According to my plan, it would be best for you to undergo a suitable MANTIS surgery and human enhancement plan to avoid you ending up on the casualty list before completing our mission."
"Anything else?"
"If you don't want to do that, I suggest you enter day two of nofap."
"Anything else?" Her fists clenched.
"Your estrogen level is at an abnormally high level."
The genius scientist could bear it no longer: "Prometheus, come here and let me format you!"
"Dr. MEI, you're flustered."
----------------------------------
Boom—!
The Imaginary Godsbane, which was charging like a wild bull, exploded, sending a slightly damaged Imaginary Core rolling on the ground.
The snow-haired girl was carefree, stepping on this thing with one foot, her delicate face full of happiness: "Mei, I won again this time."
Smug.jpg
Ever since she obtained a part of the Herrscher of the End's power, she felt that her use of Herrscher authorities had become more and more proficient.
A snap of her fingers could transport her to another place, and the Gem of Desire, which could originally only be used to blow wind, could now be used for attack.
Kiana Kaslana, invincible!
Of course, not counting that man who was like a freak in every aspect.
Raiden Mei, who had finished a battle, sheathed her sword and revealed a gentle smile: "Kiana, you're becoming more and more reliable."
"Mei, you say that as if I wasn't reliable before."
The huge Imaginary Core was picked up and weighed by Kiana. The snow-haired girl followed Raiden Mei as usual with a silly grin on her face.
"You..." With a sigh, Raiden Mei also knew that she didn't have a good way to deal with this white-haired fluffball.
But it was fine for this girl to be like this.
After all, growth is inevitably accompanied by thorns. Being able to maintain an innocent appearance and walk forward with everyone is the best future.
"Let's go, let's go back and find them."
"Okay, by the way, what are we eating later?" Kiana touched her stomach. "I'm a little hungry."
"..."
