Mei chuckled awkwardly, and to prevent Reanna from finding out more, Mei decisively ran away.

"... Seriously, this is too dangerous. I feel like I'm teetering on the edge of being exposed."

Mei sighed, then pulled a small booklet from the inside pocket of her clothes.

"The latest sister-themed doujinshi with a 99% positive review rate..."

Mei carefully turned a page, then blushed and stuffed it back into her pocket—ever since online shopping opened up new worlds for her, and with her father not around, Mei had developed a tendency to let herself go.

—Or rather, being led by Seele to let go of their inhibitions.

As the heiress of the Far East ME Corp, Mei has far more spare money than Seele and Bronya.

Forget about Seele's New Year's money, even Bronya's earnings from liver transplant business are a drop in the ocean compared to Mei's.

Judging by Mei's age, her next birthday present might just be a branch office or something...

Okay, let's get back to the main topic.

Although nowadays it's mostly Seele, Bronya, and Mei who do group purchases together, occasionally... Mei will choose to eat alone.

For example, right now.

That's why Mei risked her company's demise by carrying a notebook in her arms.

After all, it would be too dishonorable to be caught eating alone.

"Speaking of which, those girls have been acting a bit strange lately."

Watching the Soul Steel shell gradually take shape, Liu Bai took a break from his busy schedule to chat with Edison.

"I have a feeling that those girls have been deliberately avoiding me lately."

"So even our beloved, scumbag Alliance Leader can be disliked one day?"

Edison always liked to say these hurtful things with a smile on his face.

"And what you mean by 'dislike' isn't that you don't want to cuddle with her while sleeping, is it? If that's the case, I'm going to call the police."

"What nonsense are you talking about... If we're really talking about lolis, Einstein is much more reliable." Liu Bai twitched the corner of his mouth.

Einstein was, after all, a legally recognized young girl! Although her personality was a bit odd, she was generally quite nice, a good woman in a slightly strange sense.

"However, I'm telling the truth."

"Who cares about you, you lolicon?"

It seems that Edison was very unhappy with Liu Bai's use of Einstein as an example.

"I'm going to sue you for defamation—I'm not just surrounded by lolis."

"And Tesla, that arrogant red-haired guy with twin ponytails, right?" Speaking of Tesla, Edison revealed a slightly sadistic smile. "That guy is not as Einstein as Einstein, except that he teases Tesla a few times a day."

As a capitalist who bullied Tesla whenever he had nothing better to do, Edison's words were surprisingly persuasive.

But that makes sense... Tesla is known for having zero self-care ability, plus he has a terrible drinking habit and is a terrible person with a huge addiction.

Tsk.

"You might as well say Professor Planck."

"What's so great about an old person who acts cute all the time?" Edison glanced at Liu Bai with displeasure.

This is clearly jealousy of Planck's scale, isn't it?

"But then again, I feel like my gut feeling is right. Those girls might really be hiding something from me."

"Yeah, yeah."

At this moment, Ryoma also joined in, nodding in agreement.

"I feel like Mei and I have become much more distant."

Isn't it normal for a doting father to be alienated by his daughter?

"Your Mei is already seventeen, and she'll be eighteen next year. She's not seven or eight anymore. Isn't it normal for a doting father like you to be estranged from your daughter?"

Liu Bai and Edison each stabbed Longma in the heart.

"H-How could that be! Mei will always be my sweet little cotton-padded jacket!"

"Mmm." Liu Bai nodded perfunctorily, "Then one day I will marry another man and become his little darling."

"Who dares! When that time comes, I'll smash that bastard to pieces with my Plasma Shadow Show!"

"Then Mei cried her eyes out and severed ties with you as father and daughter?"

Liu Bai sneered, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Gulp... this, this..."

"And there's also the possibility that you can't beat them."

"How could that be? Not everyone is Uncle Joyce or Siegfried." Raiden Ryoma said indignantly. "Who cares who he is! My Plasma Shadow Show will teach him a lesson!"

These days, there's no shortage of women who can fight, but there's a shortage of men who can fight.

"Hehe."

Liu Bai thought that Raiden Ryoma was really overthinking things.

While Raiden Ryoma's fighting prowess is decent, the problem is that he can't compete with Mei will become even stronger in the future.

Putting aside the Kiana issue, just the fact that Mei dared to flaunt his Plasma Shadow Show the moment before Mei probably would have kicked him out the next day.

There's no place for you in this house anymore!. jpg

"... I always feel like I'm being looked down upon for no reason."

"That's right, daughter-obsessed people have no human rights—get over there and look at the data."

Liu Bai controlled HOMU's body and kicked Ryoma.

Of the three, Raiden Ryoma is the lowest in rank, at the bottom of the food chain.

If I don't order you around, who else should I order around?

So after being kicked, Raiden Ryoma held back for a long time before slinking away to check the data.

There was nothing he could do; Longma was suppressed in every way, whether in terms of status, power, or seniority.

"Tsk, it's all Ryoma's fault for interrupting. Where were we?"

"Speaking of those girls, they're hiding something from you... By the way, which group are you referring to?"

"It's Bronya, Seele, and Mei —you agree, right, Bronya?"

"Ah... ah, what's wrong, brother?"

Bronya, who had been sitting blankly to the side with the Project Bunny, looked up as if waking from a dream.

"You seem to be spacing out a lot lately, what's wrong?"

"N-nothing."

Bronya silently turned off the screen that only she could see—that's right! Compared to Mei and Seele's reading methods, which were still limited to books, Bronya had already undergone a super evolution!

Through the mental and physical connection to the device— Project Bunny 19c—you can search for relevant resources online, store them in Project Bunny, and take them out to watch whenever you want!

Furthermore, Project Bunny has a certain disguise function, allowing her to see only the displayed screen.

"See, that's it."

Liu Bai pointed at Bronya and said to Edison with a hint of helplessness.

Huh? Were you just talking about me?

Bronya's heart tightened.

"Isn't it normal for a girl of this age to have some little secrets?"

Edison rolled his eyes at Liu Bai's statement.

"Do you think everyone is like me, who will tell you the color of their bra and underwear just by asking you? This is what puberty is all about."

"... So what color are you today?"

"White on top, black on the bottom, lace—how about it, want to see it for yourself?"

Edison, with a wicked grin on his face, unbuttoned his suit jacket, revealing the seemingly unchanging white lining underneath, and then made a gesture as if to unbutton it.

"I thought it was blue."

"Who says underwear has to match hair color? That's a stereotype."

Edison smiled and moved the tie back.

"By the way, should we update it?"

"Ha?"

"My lining—the old one got moth-eaten, do you want to get a new one?" Edison whispered with a half-smile in Liu Bai's ear, "I can show you how to take off your lining without taking off your coat~ I've practiced this technique for a long time~ Or you could put your panties on HOMU's head? But I won't be able to hide that~"

"Actually, I think we can do both together..."

Bronya: stare

Bronya's compatibility -10%

"Ahem, be careful in front of the children."

Noticing Bronya's rather subtle gaze, Liu Bai immediately changed his words.

Bronya's compatibility +10%

"Really? You can come and get it anytime you want, my dear Alliance Leader ~"

Edison shrugged, a triumphant smile spreading across his face, then crossed his legs and leaned back in his chair.

"So, unless a girl takes the initiative to show you, it's better not to pry into a girl's secrets."

It's better to take the initiative and find out...

Bronya, standing next to her, tried her best to keep her expression blank.

... She knew back then—that is, two years ago—that her brother and Edison were probably having an affair.

But at the time, she really didn't expect it to come to this, and Edison hadn't been coming much in the past two years, so she almost forgot about it.

But now that Bronya looks at it... she suddenly finds the book rather dull.

That scene just now was almost like something out of a hentai novel, wasn't it?

Bronya was initially interested in doujinshi because it seemed impossible in reality, but now... after witnessing Edison's level of sophistication, Bronya suddenly felt that doujinshi were nothing special.

The truly amazing people are those who can turn fictional storylines into reality.

... However, unfortunately, none of them were her.

If I weren't here, wouldn't this have already turned into the plot of this movie?

No, Bronya, you can't keep indulging in this fantasy world. Be realistic!

Let Mei and Seele continue to indulge in their fantasies!

I, Bronya, will bear the burdens of reality!

Chapter 163 An Unbreakable Alliance—A Grand Replica!

"The initial experiment was a success—how's the power, Welt?"

Liu Bai glanced at the belt in front of him, then asked Joyce beside him.

Of course, I should ask Joyce about matters related to the Herrscher.

"It's probably enough to call it the 'God Key'."

Welt looked at the various data on the instrument very seriously.

"I have a general understanding of the structure and principles of this thing."

The power of the Herrscher of Reason coalesced into a belt that, exactly like the one on the experimental table, shimmered with faint lightning.

"Yes, the power is not a problem."
