Himeko was sunk by Liu Bai's agile alien.
"Ahem, actually I've heard a lot about The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim."
"That was a game from six years ago! See? Time flies by!"
"...Okay, but by the time I'm thirty, Himeko, you'll be a proper auntie, right?"
"—!"
Himeko's eyes flashed with a terrifying light.
In that instant, Liu Bai thought he would be smashed over with a beer bottle by Ji Zi.
"Ahem, of course, it's not like I can't accept it even though I'm in my thirties... For example, Cocolia, or Alexandra, really, if they don't mind..."
"Scumbag."
"Who? Who said that?"
Liu Bai turned his head and saw Bronya and Seele standing at the door with blushing faces, followed by Cocolia with a helpless smile.
Hmm... let's leave Cocolia aside for now.
Seele...maybe she's shy, but Bronya...
Is this red-temperature?
"Um... Bronya, you have to consider the previous context when you say that. What I actually meant was..."
“Scumbag, Bronya needs to warn Mom to be on her guard.”
Bronya, looking exactly like a red-temperature robot, turned and left.
"No! My character..."
Bronya had no intention of listening to Liu Bai's explanation.
This attitude is a huge problem!
"Ahem! Seele, go and try to persuade Bronya for your brother."
It has to be said that Seele is the most considerate person on this side.
“I’ll go too. Although I’m not her adoptive mother, I do know a little about ‘Bronya’.”
Cocolia was actually a little curious about what her daughter's expression would be if she knew that another man liked her.
However, there is currently no way to verify this.
The two left to help Liu Bai persuade Bronya.
"Ugh, what a scumbag."
The person who triggered the incident was still sighing and making sarcastic remarks as if nothing had happened.
"What the hell..."
Even with Liu Bai's good temper, he was speechless.
"No matter what, it's perfectly reasonable for someone to react this way when you tell them to your face that you want their biological mother."
"This is just one example of someone who isn't very old..."
Liu Bai paused halfway through his sentence.
"Hehe, you've finally realized? Xianyun, aren't Shenzi and the others examples too?"
"But age is not a problem for them."
Liu Bai had indeed thought of this, but the difference between them...
too big.
"You call yourself an auntie at forty, but other people call themselves children at forty, okay?"
"If you say the word 'auntie' again, I'll yell at you."
"I'm talking about you ten years from now, don't take it personally."
Liu Bai looked at Ji Zi's expression with a smile.
I'm in a hurry!
"By the way, I'll probably still be like this decades from now."
Preserving her youthful appearance is incredibly easy for Liu Bai.
"Or rather, most people will be fine even a few decades from now."
"Gu..."
Thinking about it carefully... it really is true!
There aren't many ordinary people left in her family, so she can't very well compare herself to those "average-looking" Valkyries, can she?
Rita is now a Herrscher, a being whose lifespan is unknown.
"By the way... Himeko, haven't you gone to ask for a super-mutant factor yet?"
"Neither Chi You nor Fuluona is suitable for me."
Speaking of this issue, Himeko was also a little annoyed. "According to them, my Honkai energy aptitude is similar to that of ordinary Valkyries outside, or even lower. I have no choice but to have surgery."
"...That's actually kind of an average line."
However, after thinking about it, Liu Bai didn't mention surgery or anything like that.
Himeko is having surgery... Hmm, Liu Bai has a bit of PtSD about this.
"I still have a few Herrscher slots available. You can consider them later."
Liu Bai mentioned this matter briefly.
He still has gems, and there's no need to invest them all in Kiana.
Even without the protagonist's explosive adventures, Kiana's growth potential is excellent. Not to mention that she doesn't lack combat power now, so she doesn't need to create some kind of Flame of the End and then take on the responsibility of this civilization.
Moreover, the biggest problem now is not the collapse.
"But then again, what's wrong with those girls outside today?"
Liu Bai didn't give Ji Zi time to answer, and instead asked another question.
The feeling that I'm going to be eaten today is definitely not an illusion.
Even at times like this, Liu Bai still trusted his intuition.
"Huh? What can they do?"
Himeko used a bottle opener to pry open the beer cap and started drinking.
"I'm not kidding, I feel like the way they're looking at me today is a bit off."
Liu Bai crossed his arms, rested his head on them, and spoke very seriously.
"Nonsense, of course not... Wait, don't you know?"
After drinking the ice-cold beer, Himeko suddenly calmed down for a moment.
"Huh? What do you mean I don't know? Tell me first, then I'll know whether I know or not."
"..."
Well, upon hearing Liu Bai's question, Ji Zi knew that Liu Bai definitely didn't know.
Don’t know what?
—Vita and Karen used him as a reward!
She knew all about it; those Valkyries just couldn't keep their mouths shut!
Those Valkyries were eyeing Liu Bai like wolves, clearly intending to make him their prey!
If Liu Bai knew anything about this, he would never have asked the question he just asked.
But then again... isn't it a bit inappropriate for those two not to tell Liu Bai about this...?
Damn it! Those two bastards are trying to renege on their debt!
Himeko realized what the two were up to in just a moment.
She had done similar things before. If the things she was in charge of were missing a few items, she would just go to the warehouse to get them, and then secretly put them back after using them. As long as the matter could be resolved, there was no need to submit a report.
When it came time to report it, it was about misappropriation? What misappropriation? Nothing like that!
The fact that these two aren't telling Liu Bai now is clearly an attempt to renege on their debt, or rather, to "secretly settle the accounts."
Of course, it's not hard to see the drawbacks of this product. The drawback is that it's really heavy when weighed.
(Is Vita trying to renege on her debt, or is Karen trying to renege on her debt?)
After realizing that someone was planning to act inhumanly, Himeko began to carefully analyze the two people.
How should I put it... Vita seems to have more integrity than Karen.
This kind of debt-reneging tactic really seems like something a seasoned veteran like Karen would do.
Himeko had already automatically imagined the seasoned veteran trying to fool the naive girl.
—And most importantly, the report to Liu Bai was written by Karen.
Holy crap! This pot is definitely Kallen's!
...Hmm? Wait a minute, from the perspective of assigning blame, why does it seem like Vita is the one causing trouble?
Himeko was confused for a moment, but she quickly recovered.
What does it matter to her if either of those two guys is unruly?
"It's about how popular you are in Valkyrie, and how you're even someone people fantasize about."
After careful consideration, Himeko decided not to interfere.
If these two can really suppress this matter, it's because they're capable; if they can't... then it's their own fault for being such scoundrels.
She has no right to meddle!
Ideally, there would be a Valkyrie coup; she's never heard of anything like that before.
"...That's all?"
Liu Bai choked for a moment.
He knew this.
One aspect is objective factors.
On the other hand... there's a pyramid scheme leader in the family.
The Ruler of Domination is undoubtedly the number one pyramid scheme leader under his command.
One of the tasks he assigned to the Herrscher of Dominion was to subtly proclaim his authority to Destiny.
"...I feel like things are taking an exaggerated turn."
"Well, after all, you brought this on yourself?"
Himeko had an expression that said, "That's all I know."
I will absolutely not say another word.
Liu Bai could only believe it.
After all, although it's a bit far-fetched, the logic is sound, and he himself is highly sought after by many people.
"Then this matter is completely unsolvable."
Liu Bai sighed, "How can I possibly come up with this excuse?"
No matter what, this group of people didn't lay a hand on anyone.
"By the way, speaking of Valkyries, Ragnar and Bianca are also part of your plans to appear here, right?"
Himeko changed the subject.
"The probability that Otto won't notice this place is about 0. The only question is what identities Bianca and Ragnar will appear in."
"Just to ask, what if they were allies?"
