Shibao: I Want to Create a World Where Everyone Respects Teacher Liu!
"... That thing isn't a sandbag."
With Shibao flying at full speed, the two quickly arrived in North America.
"Alright, I'll give you directions from now on, just don't wander off."
Although Liu Bai had only been to the headquarters once in reality via teleportation, he still knew the way.
After all, the Anti-Entropy Headquarters has never moved from its original location since 1955.
"Mmm!"
Shibao nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
She won't run around even when I tell her to, how can she be as good as having her own teacher by her side?
This child...
With a sigh, Liu Bai led the Shibao to the sky above Anti-Entropy's headquarters, following the direction he remembered.
"We can definitely sense someone underground... one, two, three... What should we do, Teacher Liu, should we knock on the door?"
...?
"Excuse me, what do you mean by knocking?"
"Of course, we'll give it our all and deliver a powerful punch to the ground!" Shibao said excitedly.
"... Do you think I'd praise you for that?"
"No, you won't?"
"Hua, Schicksal isn't ours to take, so we can just overturn it, but Anti-Entropy is our own... Give your teacher a break, okay?"
Chapter 108 Shibao: I Want to Create a World Where Everyone Respects and Loves Teacher Liu!
"Oh..."
The phrase "our stuff" was easy to understand, and since Liu Bai had already made it clear that no matter how much damage she caused here, Liu Bai wouldn't be happy, so Shibao immediately lost interest in the Anti-Entropy underground base.
This girl is actually quite easy to understand in some ways...
At the same time, Anti-Entropy also discovered this uninvited guest. The hidden entrance opened, and a golden-haired Valkyrie in a silver robe carrying a silver lance walked out.
"It's been a long time, Fu Hua —it's been over sixty years, hasn't it?"
Time has left no trace on Reanna's face; however, compared to when we first met, Reanna's eyes are now much brighter and more piercing.
"Reanna?" Shibao raised an eyebrow slightly. "Looks like you've been doing pretty well these past few years?"
"Forehead..."
Shibao's opening line completely shut down all of Reanna's prepared arguments.
... Is this really the Fu Hua I know?
In Reanna's memory, Fu Hua was a stern and lifeless Shenzhou Immortal. Although she was not difficult to get along with, her aura always kept people at a distance.
"Sigh, never mind. Judging from your rosy complexion, you're doing well. Unlike me, I was stupid enough to believe Otto before, and ended up getting shot in the head—what was I thinking back then?"
Fu Hua and Reanna have actually worked together for a hundred years, and Reanna is even aware of Fu Hua's "immortal" identity. Therefore, Shibao not only has no hostility towards Reanna, but also feels like an old friend reuniting.
But Reanna...
Reanna: "..."
Reanna was visibly speechless.
You got shot in the head... I think you've injured your head!
Reanna had absolutely no idea what expression to wear when facing her "old colleague".
In her original imagination, the conversation between the two should have gone like this—
"You've arrived?"
"I am coming."
Why have you come?
"We have come because it was meant to come."
This is the kind of dialogue that Reanna remembers Fu Hua would say.
To put it bluntly, the lifeless Fu Hua was at least a third of the reason she chose to betray Otto back then— Otto was tyrannical enough, but being the only one of her equals who was also lifeless made it impossible for Reanna to see the future of the young people.
So when she saw the energetic Einstein and his group, Reanna made up her mind and voted.
More than sixty years have passed... When did my old, dull colleague become such an unconventional person?
"Hey, what's up, Reanna?" Shibao waved his hand in front of Reanna's face. "Are you so happy to see me that you can't speak?"
... Absolutely not.
But seeing how Shibao is now, Reanna still thinks it would be better to say a couple more words.
... Politeness is secondary; the main thing is that I always feel that my old colleague is a bit crazy.
"... I've heard a little about your experiences."
"Right, right! Speaking of which, it's such a pity we were in Siberia back then! If we'd been lucky, we could have met again!"
Seeing that Reanna had picked up the conversation, Shibao immediately got excited.
"Speaking of which, that bastard Otto, back then... tsk... what happened back then..."
This memory is a little hazy.
"Your apprentice Cheng Lixue, died in battle," Reanna said softly. "And..."
Speaking of this, Reanna's face also darkened. Those Valkyrie of Schicksal were such good kids back then...
Even though they were on opposing sides, Reanna was still somewhat heartbroken by this.
"Yes! That's it!"
Shibao's eyes widened, and he said with a somewhat ferocious expression.
"I knew I vaguely remembered a name, but I just couldn't recall it! If I had remembered it earlier, I would have killed that bastard Otto again!"
His fist was being squeezed so tightly by Shibao that it made a cracking sound.
"... Even if he were killed again, that bishop would be resurrected—he has more trump cards than anyone else."
Although the information revealed in her old colleague's words was somewhat alarming, Reanna still shook her head.
"As long as we had fun playing!"
Shibao pouted, still looking angry.
Shibao's expression actually made Reanna smile.
"Old friend, your expression is much more humane than when I first met you."
"That was because I wasn't thinking straight back then." Shibao spat first, then realized something was wrong. "Wait, why do I feel like I'm cursing myself... Never mind, but don't call me 'old friend' anymore—it reminds me of that bastard Otto."
"Hehe... that's the kind of address that bishop would use. Well then, I'll call you old colleague." Reanna seemed to have figured out Otto's quirky sense of humor and nodded with a smile.
"Hey! This nickname sounds pretty good."
Shibao nodded with satisfaction. "But you can just call me Hua, I don't mind."
Although Fu Hua's current image is much better than it was sixty years ago, something still feels strange... This sense of change from the inside out.
It's like he's become a completely different person.
Reanna responded with a wry smile while secretly pondering the situation.
As a seasoned Valkyrie, she didn't doubt the magic of time, but... what you're doing isn't magic, it's practically a cheat code!
"So, Hua, what brings you here this time? And has the injury on your head healed?"
"Of course it's good! Do I look sick? I'm healthier than I was five hundred years ago!"
You seem so sick, it wouldn't be out of place to put you in a mental hospital—but Reanna couldn't bring herself to say it directly.
Fortunately, Shibao had a pleasant conversation and didn't have any thoughts about mind reading.
"As for why I'm here this time... my teacher wants me to meet that Einstein guy—speaking of which, I even exchanged a few words with her when I met her sixty years ago."
You just said "I want to see you" out of the blue, which puts me in a difficult position...
Fortunately, Reanna quickly caught a word in the Shibao's words.
"...teacher?"
Reanna looked puzzled.
"Who is your teacher...?"
"Liu Bai!"
Shibao puffed out his chest and said openly and honestly.
"Eh... Lord Alliance Leader?"
Reanna's head was spinning.
"What? Isn't your Alliance Leader that blue-haired girl named Edison? Go away, don't try to get close to my teacher." Shibao showed a look of disgust on his face.
"You're the one who should go! Have you forgotten? You met me sixty years ago when you met Einstein!"
Liu Bai patted the Shibao.
"Does being your teacher conflict with the fact that I am the first Alliance Leader the Anti-Entropy Alliance?"
"Oh... it doesn't seem to conflict..."
Shibao obediently covered his head, pretending to be pitiful as he moved aside.
Although she was capable of anything, she decided against making her teacher angry.
"Look at my brain... I just woke up!"
... I already told you, don't use Fu Hua's face to play the victim.
"Lord Alliance Leader!"
Although Reanna couldn't see Liu Bai in his ghost form like Shibao, nor could she hear Liu Bai's voice like the host, she could still roughly deduce Liu Bai's location by looking at the spot Shibao had made.
So the loyal female knight knelt on one knee, placed her fist against her shoulder, and swore her loyalty in the direction of Liu Bai.
"Okay, okay." Liu Bai patted Reanna's shoulder somewhat awkwardly.
Reanna was far too formal in serious situations, and Liu Bai found it difficult to adapt to her classical and formal manners.
No wonder he was the one who could shoot Tesla's prank flying machine with the Abyss White Flower back then.
"I heard from Dr. Einstein that you had returned... It's just a pity that I didn't have a chance to meet you then."
Reanna looked regretful.
"Eh? Teacher Liu, you came to see them before?"
"What's wrong? Can't your teacher have a little bit of private space?"
Liu Bai flicked Shibao's forehead speechlessly.
"No... that's not what I meant..."
Ultimately, the teacher is the most important person in the world, Shibao could only turn his head away dejectedly and mutter to himself.
"Hopefully it's not like that old woman Mobius..."
"...Um, what's going on here, you two..." Reanna looked at the scene before her and twitched the corner of her mouth. "Speaking of which, do you need my body?"
"Huh?" Shibao reacted again for some reason.
This time, Liu Bai ignored Shibao and gently patted Reanna's shoulder. Reanna immediately understood, and the light in her eyes faded instantly. However, the next second, Reanna's entire body changed its form.
"... It's this physical sensation that I miss the most."
At this point, Reanna had completely transformed into Liu Bai.
Incidentally, the entire outfit on Reanna's body is actually part of the Soul Steel body, so as long as he possesses it, Liu Bai can not only change his body but also his clothes.
So although it is possession, there is no issue of wardrobe malfunction or cross-dressing.
