I Can Do Anything! (Stubbornly Insisting)
However, to be fair, Reanna's silver robe is quite versatile.
"Let's go, Hua, what are you daydreaming about?"
"It's nothing, I just think your outfit looks really good, Teacher Liu."
Shibao looked Liu Bai up and down, noticing that he was now wearing a men's silver-white knight outfit.
?
What you're saying sounds so logical! Why are you so rational? Who are you? You're not Shibao at all!
"It's much better than your unchanging all-black attire when you're a ghost... Hmm? Um... Is there something on my face?"
Did I anger Teacher Liu again?
That's impossible! I clearly used that obedient child's tone!
"Um... what I mean is, Teacher Liu, you look handsome even when you're dressed in all black—anyone who dares to say you're not handsome, I'll change their mindset until they think you are!"
Shibao said fiercely, waving his fist.
Very good, this slightly arrogant and willful statement is a Shibao.
"... You startled me."
"...Huh?" Shibao's face showed obvious confusion.
"No, it's nothing, come with me."
Shibao looked at Liu Bai, who was leading the way, with a puzzled expression.
Could it be that... Teacher Liu actually doesn't like well-behaved children?
While pondering in confusion, Shibao strode to keep up with Liu Bai's pace.
Following the elevator down the base, we soon arrived at the base's main hall.
However, there are hardly any people in the lobby right now.
But then, Shibao, who was looking around, spotted a girl holding a folder.
So Shibao quickly pulled the girl aside and pointed to the path ahead, where Liu Bai, who hadn't noticed anything amiss, asked:
"Look, isn't that guy in front handsome?"
"Oh? Um? Miss, where are you from?"
The female clerk looked completely bewildered.
"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me if he's handsome or not." Shibao deliberately made a fierce expression.
"This... I can't see her face..." The female clerk was about to cry as she looked at the girl glaring at her.
But speaking of which, why does the black-haired man walking in front look so much like Lady Reanna in his clothes?
So you think he's not handsome?
Shibao showed a displeased expression.
"From this moment on, you must accept that Teacher Liu is the most handsome man in the world..."
Feather of the Wind's power affected the ordinary people in front of him without any hindrance.
"Got it? Who's the most handsome man in the world right now?"
"... It's Teacher Liu..."
The female clerk answered, seemingly confused.
"Hua?" Liu Bai's voice suddenly rang out.
"Yes, teacher! What can I do for you?"
In an instant, Shibao used his full speed and stood behind Liu Bai as if nothing had happened, responding.
Later, the female clerk, still bewildered, muttered to herself, "Teacher Liu is the most handsome man in the world... But, who is Teacher Liu? How strange..."
"I have a feeling you've done something wrong..."
Liu Bai looked at the Shibao in front of him with a strange expression.
"No, why would I do anything bad behind your back?" Shibao said without changing his expression.
This is not a lie told to Teacher Liu.
She was clearly doing something good!
All she wanted to do was create a world where everyone respected and loved Teacher Liu!
"... That might just be my imagination..."
Liu Bai was somewhat suspicious; his intuition seemed to conflict with reality.
"Never mind, let's keep going. I remember the way is..."
This time, Shibao was much more obedient—of course, it's very likely that he didn't see a second target.
The headquarters was even more deserted than she had imagined.
However, this situation did not last long, as Shibao soon spotted a green-haired woman behind him who had just come out of the office.
He immediately used the same trick again, silently approaching.
"Eh..." The green-haired woman also showed a surprised expression when she saw her.
"I'm asking you, isn't that man in front of you the most handsome man in the world?"
"Eh... the most handsome man in the world?"
The green-haired woman looked ahead with some confusion. Then, her reaction was somewhat Shibao. Upon seeing Liu Bai, the green-haired woman narrowed her eyes and smiled.
(Isn't this guy a bit...?)
"My sweetheart is of course the most handsome man in the world~~Miss Fu Hua~"
"...ha?"
Wait a minute? What is this shameless green-haired woman saying?
The person you love?
Chapter 109 I can do anything! (Stubborn)
"... What nonsense are you spouting?"
Shibao's expression was not good.
Although her logic is somewhat unconventional, she can still distinguish between "a world where everyone respects and loves Teacher Liu" and "a world where everyone admires Teacher Liu."
One annoying rival like Mobius is enough!
That said, this guy also has that annoying green hair...
She! Fu Hua! Hates women with green hair!
Speaking of which, does that guy Mobius even have any self-awareness of being a thirty-year-old woman?
Why bother with dating at this age? Just find a dark corner, squat there, and suffer.
"It's not a lie!"
The green-haired woman in front of him smiled—good, this smile also reminded Shibao of that guy Mobius.
"Saying you like someone or that they're your sweetheart on the first meeting! What kind of nonsense is that!?"
"But this isn't the first time Liu Bai and I have met."
The green-haired woman said with a smile, Shibao's expression became even more unpleasant.
Was the scene when I and Teacher Liu went to see that old woman Mobius back then similar to this?
They're pretty much the same, aren't they?
"Hateful..."
"Hua... can you explain to me now what you're doing?"
Liu Bai's voice rang out from behind Shibao.
Shibao's body stiffened instantly.
"Um... Teacher Liu, well... um, asking for directions! That's right! Asking for directions!"
"..."
Do you think I'm stupid, you brat?
With me, the local expert, leading the way, you don't need to ask for directions!
Liu Bai sighed softly, rubbing his forehead, feeling utterly exhausted. Then he looked up at the green-haired woman in front of him.
"It's been a long time, Professor Planck."
"Seriously, what's with that distant way of addressing me? Are you implying that I'm too old?"
Planck collapsed to the ground with a thud, looking at Liu Bai with a resentful expression like a young wife who had just been abused, and began to sob.
"I know you have lovely girls like Liesel around you, and energetic girls Tesla, and even that heartless Schrödinger is all circling around you, so you've started to complain that I'm old and past my prime..."
"Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!"
Liu Bai wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead and then quickly helped Planck up from the ground.
"Planck, your personality really hasn't changed at all..."
"After all, she's still a young girl."
"A seventeen-year-old girl from seventy-nine years ago, right?" Liu Bai blurted out instinctively.
"Waaah~"
Upon hearing Liu Bai's words, Planck immediately prepared to sit down on the ground again and cry bitterly for a while longer.
"Okay, okay! Beautiful girl! Miss Planck will always be a beautiful girl!"
"That's more like it."
Planck then straightened up with a smile on his face.
"Seriously, do you know how I've lived these past sixty-two years? The last time you came back, you only looked at little Liesel and didn't care about me at all, sob sob sob~ I feel like crying just thinking about it~ Tell me, have you and little Liesel done something unspeakable?"
"What can a Soul Steel body do... Besides, I was possessing that Soul Steel doll at the time."
Liu Bai twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Isn't there something called a ○○ stick?"
"... Planck, you really are still in the crisis of being a single woman, aren't you?" Liu Bai sighed.
Good news, Planck is still as kind as ever.
The bad news is, his ability to make dirty jokes has reached a new level.
"Yes, you probably can't find a 96-year-old single woman anywhere in the world, right?"
Planck stared at Liu Bai with a resentful look.
"Among us, even the youngest, little Liesel, is seventy-nine years old this year—I urge some sinful gentleman to reflect on how many young girls' youth he has wasted—though it was all of our own free will."
"Can't this 96-year-old guy just stay home quietly and stop acting like a horny fool here?"
Seeing the two interacting intimately, Shibao interrupted them, clearly annoyed.
Then...
Liu Bai and Planck both turned their gazes toward Shibao.
"...?"
Did I say something wrong?
Shibao was a little timid, but his keen senses made Shibao feel that his teacher didn't seem angry.
The two people in front of me were looking at me with a strange... pity?
Planck straightened his collar, his expression turning serious. "Young Planck" went offline, "Professor Planck" came online.
