Where's the Fox Who's Trying to Seduce Master Liu!? (Part 2)

"Yes, that child is a complete brat," Liu Bai added expressionlessly. "She's probably equivalent to two former Kiana? Although I've tried to control her personality, I can't deny that she's still quite willful."

Although Shibao usually behaved very obediently in front of her, Liu Bai knew she was hopeless just from the fact that the first thing she said after he returned was, "Did you go to meet some vixen?"

The simulated disappearance period is only one minute, okay?

Who has a one-minute secret rendezvous?

Kiana's thought process isn't that skewed!

Shibao is truly a born rebel...

"Hey! I didn't do anything to you! Why are you using me as a unit of measurement!?"

Kiana raised her hand in protest.

Upon hearing the protest, Liu Bai turned around and scrutinized Kiana with a research-like gaze.

"Kiana, let me ask you a question—if you and Mei went out to play, Mei disappeared for a minute in the middle of the trip, what do you think Mei was doing?"

"Hmm... going to the toilet?"

"Look, although your thought process is sometimes a bit off, it's still normal human thinking—that's why that child is roughly equivalent to two of you."

"I'm not asking why it equals two of me! I'm asking why I'm used as a unit of measurement! Don't you all find that strange!?"

"I think it makes perfect sense." Rita nodded matter-of-factly at Kiana's question; she'd seen how terrible Kiana used to be before.

"Although it's not nice to say it like this, Kiana has... well, some of her behaviors are indeed hard to understand."

Fu Hua tried to be as tactful as possible, but this tact was completely meaningless.

It even exacerbated the damage.

"As for me... I don't think my first impression of Ms. Kiana was very rational either."

"Don't talk to me like that while you're wearing Mei's face!"

Kiana glared fiercely at Mei.

"Rationally speaking, it should be said that Miss Mei has Dr. Mei's face." Mei had wanted to refute this for a long time, so why was she being made to look like the plagiarist?

"Yes, Miss Kiana, after all, Dr. Mei is an ancient person from more than 50,000 years ago. In any case, we should still respect the elders."

Rita said with a smile, not forgetting to emphasize the words "more than 50,000 years ago", "ancient people" and "respect for the elderly".

The old geezer should step down from the stage of history!

Mei: "..."

That statement is truly devastating.

"Hibernation... Hibernation can't be counted as age. Can a scientist's behavior be counted as age?"

Mei doesn't want to accept the reality that she's over 50,000 years old.

Rita nodded after hearing Mei's stiff explanation. "You're absolutely right, but for those who know you..."

Don't tell me what you think, tell me what I think.

"Can't you two just behave yourselves for once?"

Liu Bai sighed, "Have we gone off-topic again?"

This is probably what they mean by "three women make a drama"...

Moreover, this was all done without Fu Hua and Kiana getting involved; it was purely Mei and Rita clashing against each other.

"But speaking of which, Mei, aren't you a bit Mobius?"

Liu Bai belatedly began to scrutinize Mei.

It's not surprising that Liu Bai was slow to realize this, since his impression of Liu Bai was still from when he was sixteen or seventeen.

"... Dr. Mobius, you must be very happy to hear the adjective you use to describe yourself as a doctor, right?"

Mei's face twitched slightly, her expression stiffening.

Becoming the next Mobius... that sounds like such a failure.

"Well, so let's get back to the point. I'm also quite worried about what to do with that child. Although taking care of a child isn't a problem for me, it can't go on like this forever."

"How about we just have my senior sister go see her?"

"Not really. It's not like I haven't considered that." Liu Bai said irritably. If it were that easy to solve, why would he have to go through all this trouble?

"Sometimes, taking drastic measures and cutting through the Gordian knot is a good approach. If it succeeds, you can gain a Herrscher combatant; if it fails, you can still obtain a Herrscher Core." Mei pushed up her glasses, her tone calm, as if she were recounting a trivial matter.

Although I said it in a grand way, so what if I inherited my senior sister's memories, feelings, and even body?

No is no, and no amount of talking will change that—sometimes Mei is rational to the point of being cold-blooded.

"Mei, if you really have nothing better to do, go exercise—I think you've gained quite a bit of weight."

Liu Bai said irritably, and the word "fat" immediately made Mei, who had just entered a cool state, shut up.

If you say that too, teacher, then we won't be able to play anymore!

"Yes, Dr. Mei, girls should pay attention to exercise."

Rita added with a smile, then covered her mouth in feigned surprise.

"Ah! I'm sorry, I forgot that you are over 50,000 years old this year. It's fine for you to rest for a while, but please don't strain your back. My maid skills don't include taking care of the elderly."

Sarcasm, utter sarcasm.

Mei now regrets not having undergone the Fusion Warrior surgery every year, otherwise she wouldn't have been mocked so blatantly by this hateful maid.

Okay, even disregarding suitability, the risks of Hypermutation Surgery are simply too high.

Not everyone is as crazy as Mobius, daring to cut himself.

How much lighter can you be than me?

"Sorry, it's a difference in muscle density."

Rita ignored Mei's resentful gaze.

To be honest, Mei is probably a little heavier Mei right now, while Rita is a head shorter than Mei. Given that their heights are not much different, Rita is 12 pounds heavier than Mei, which is 6 kg.

This data would be enough to drive girls crazy in other situations.

Durandal is the same; she has a similar build, is a little shorter than Rita, but weighs 4kg more than Mei.

Looking at these two people individually, you wouldn't think there's a significant difference in their weight.

However, unless they're being carried in a princess carry by their beloved, being slightly heavier than other Valkyrie of similar build doesn't mean anything at all...

However, Mei is indeed very tall, standing at 172cm, even taller than Himeko by a head... This is quite contrary to my impression.

Rita, Durandal, and Himeko, these Valkyrie who seem quite tall, are actually none of them taller than 170cm. Rita is even a tiny bit taller than Himeko...

Mei is probably the tallest of the main Valkyrie.

"You two are really something..." Liu Bai sighed, "But speaking of which, Mei, you could do some research on the Valkyrie Armor thing."

"Isn't this thing derived from the Key of Emptiness?"

Mei twitched the corner of her mouth. "I saw it at a glance, but I have to admit that using the Key of Emptiness as a blueprint to create this kind of slightly limited general-purpose weapon is indeed a genius idea... Don't look at me like that. After all, I designed the Key of Emptiness. According to you, I should be the world's first Valkyrie."

"..."

This news seems a bit too explosive.

"Speaking of which, the Key of Emptiness you mentioned..."

"It's the prototype of the fourth-generation Valkyrie Godkiller Armor, Vermilion Knight: Eclipse: Eclipse, in your Schicksal Database—it's the form of the Key of Emptiness connected to the Gem of Contagion."

Fu Hua explained from the side.

In a sense, the final battle of Schicksal was essentially a clash between the Herrscher of the Void and a weakened Herrscher of Flame.

These messages are really...

"Link to the Gem of Contagion? I'm quite familiar with that."

Mei raised an eyebrow.

This is true. In order to eliminate the Herrscher of Domination, Mei wore the Key of Emptiness and connected to the Herrscher Core in succession. Finally, she connected with the Judgement of Shamash and completely destroyed the Herrscher of Domination.

Therefore, Mei is quite familiar with the power of the Gem of Contagion.

"Where are her users?"

"This..."

Fu Hua and Kiana both wore sad expressions.

"Alright, I can tell from your expressions." Mei sighed. "Let's not talk about these things that make you sad. Let's get back to the Herrscher of Sentience —Miss Rita, what do you think?"

"I'll see things the way Liu Bai sees them, but then again, since we were born in Fu Hua's body, we should listen to what Miss Fu Hua has to say."

Rita cleverly first demonstrated her virtuousness, then passed the question on to Fu Hua.

"...Then I'll leave it to you to take care of him." After a brief moment of contemplation, Fu Hua said to Liu Bai, "I haven't really figured out how to face that child yet. If possible, I would like to have more time to think about it."

"Aaaaaahhhhhh! Why hasn't Teacher Liu come back yet?!"

On the living room floor of Lab 42, Shibao was rolling around on the floor.

"Don't let me find out which vixen is seducing Teacher Liu! Otherwise, I'll skin her alive!"

That unlucky kid...

Planck mustered his strength and made himself a cup of coffee.

Can't people just have some peace and quiet in the middle of the night? Lack of sleep can cause wrinkles.

"Liu Bai has only been gone for less than five minutes... Miss Fu Hua, please stop rolling around."

"Planck! Aren't you worried at all!?"

As soon as Planck spoke, Shibao jumped up from the ground and slammed his hand on the table.

"Teacher Liu might be—"

"Miss Fu Hua, could you please bring me the candy over there? Thank you." Planck completely ignored Shibao's nagging.

"Wait... wait! Is this about whether or not to have candy?! Planck, are you even listening to me?!"

Shibao continued to go crazy.

My immediate instinct was to throw the can on the ground in anger.

"If you spill it all over the floor, you can clean it up yourself... haha... or you can wait for Liu Bai to come back and have him clean it up for you."

Planck, dressed in his pajamas, yawned repeatedly, but his words struck Shibao's weak spot precisely, causing Shibao to stop in his tracks.

"Really, I'm an old person... Sleep time is very precious for the elderly."

"If you're so capable, then say that to Teacher Liu!"

Shibao slammed the sugar jar down in front of Planck with a grump.

However, even after Shibao made such a loud noise twice, Planck showed no sign of becoming sober.

"A beautiful girl's sleep time is also precious..." Planck fell silent as he spoke.

"Hey! How come you have absolutely no motivation? How can you sleep in a situation like this?"

Shibao shook Planck's body vigorously.

"Don't fall asleep! Coffee! Coffee!"

Shibao picked up the coffee and poured it into Planck's mouth.

"Pfft—! It's so bitter! It's so hot!"

Alright, Planck is awake.

"Hey... this thing actually works."

Shibao looked at the half-finished coffee in his hand with a strange expression—by the way, Planck drank a little of the other half, and spilled the rest.

"No, I don't think this thing is used like that."
