The Unbreakable Alliance-Back in All Its Glory! (Continued)

"Great, now we can prepare for the next experiment. I'll leave the safety to you."

"Understood. With the Honkai Energy Suppressant, I'll take care of this little thing."

Welt knew this was no joke and readily agreed.

A few injections of Honkai Energy Suppressant can instantly revert an ordinary Herrscher to their original form—provided the injections can be successfully administered.

But this is not a problem for Welt at all. Soul Steel Needle, are you scared yet?

"But then again..."

Welt's serious expression quickly vanished, replaced by a gossipy look.

"Senior, nothing's happened between you and Nancy these past two years?"

Edison heard the sound and glanced back at Welt.

"... What could happen?"

Liu Bai pushed Welt's big face away in disgust.

"So, senior, you're a lolicon?"

Welt blurted out, "No wonder you and Einstein have such a good relationship."

"Back then, Einstein hardly a loli. Even when we first met, Einstein already a young girl at 16, right?"

Liu Bai resolutely denied this.

Rita is on top, the big-breasted older sister he likes, preferably in black stockings.

Liu Bai's opinion is: black stockings > white stockings > bare legs > mixed colors.

Well, it has absolutely nothing to do with lolis or anything like that.

However, Einstein rare occasions—such as when wearing a skirt—Ain does wear black stockings...

Ahem, we've gone off-topic.

"Your rebuttal is really quite weak, senior."

Welt retorted, "The way that little girl next to you is looking at you is clearly strange."

Welt pointed at Bronya.

"... How did you figure that out from Bronya's expressionless face?"

"A man's intuition?"

"That's a really disgusting statement—are you going to go dig potatoes with Ryoma?"

"What does this have to do with me?" Raiden Ryoma protested.

Do I need a reason to oppress my subordinates?

Liu Bai delivered the tyrant's speech with a blank expression.

Welt smirked, "Well, a man's intuition is a joke, but I unexpectedly sensed a similar determination in that child to Einstein."

"Huh? What kind of nonsense is that?"

"It's that feeling... um... of always waiting for the day when we'll settle things once and for all?"

Welt glanced at Liu Bai as he spoke.

Clearly, Liu Bai was involved in the outcome of Einstein's duel.

"I'm sorry, I don't feel that way at all."

Liu Bai had met Einstein in real life, and apart from playing a joke on him to deceive his feelings, he didn't find anything related to "a decisive battle"... Could it be "the decisive underwear"?

... Forget it, what am I thinking? Einstein Ai Yin's figure, it's not her place to wear this kind of thing.

"Well, after all, no one knows what Einstein is thinking all the time."

Welt didn't deny it directly; instead, he nodded in agreement. After all, having stayed there for a long time, he must have experienced Einstein's serious joke.

"But speaking of which, senior, aren't you planning to..."

"Cough cough!!"

Welt had barely finished speaking when Edison coughed deliberately behind him.

Welt: "..."

Welt glanced back, and a glint of murderous intent flashed in Edison's eyes—if you dared to suggest he go find that Einstein guy, you'd be dead.

"..."

One of the rules of Anti-Entropy survival: Never get caught up in the battleground between the Alliance Leader and the beautiful female scientists.

Sometimes, offending a woman is more terrible than offending Otto.

Thinking of this, Welt shut his mouth.

"I'm going to the restroom," Welt said, making an excuse to slip away without hesitation.

If this continues, we might end up saying the wrong thing.

"Snort..."

Edison glanced at Welt.

That's why she didn't really want to bring Welt over.

Although she was the former Alliance Leader, theoretically no one could rival her in terms of resources and prestige within Anti-Entropy, emotionally... she was the vulnerable one, wasn't she?

Our own founding scientists: Einstein, Tesla, Schrödinger, Planck, and her.

The first four are all from the same family!

Welt also came from Lab 42, and was undoubtedly an "Einstein".

Looking at it this way, isn't she the one who's all alone and helpless?

Moreover, in such a vast Anti-Entropy, Edison couldn't even find an ally—and the only potential ally, Reanna, didn't care about such things.

For some reason, Edison suddenly glanced at Bronya was lost in thought.

This child... cough cough cough, what is he thinking?

Edison casually pinched his thigh.

These two are just siblings; they don't even sleep in the same bed anymore. Why are you being so suspicious?

And Bronya is only 14 years old, even if she's in puberty...

Wait, if it's during puberty, once you start having crushes... the object of those crushes is...

Edison's eyelids twitched; she felt as if she had discovered something extraordinary.

It seems Liu Bai is the only male in the orphanage. What if the girls in the orphanage enter puberty... no, adolescence...?

No, no, no... that idea is just too outrageous.

I should still trust Liu Bai's character.

—That's what they say, but once you start something, you can't stop.

Welt's earlier mutterings echoed in Edison's ears once again.

It must be admitted that it may be difficult for others to say, but as for Bronya... given the relationship between Liu Bai and Bronya, once Bronya enters puberty, who will she look up to?

... Could it be that one of my opponents is a 14-year-old girl?

"Nancy? Nancy?"

Liu Bai waved his hand in front of Edison was in a daze.

What are you thinking about?

"I was thinking... cough, I wasn't thinking about anything."

Coming to his senses, Edison coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.

"By the way, since the experiment went smoothly, when can we have Mei come over to conduct the next phase of the experiment?"

The best way to change the subject is to find something more important.

"Mei... don't rush. Let's do a few more sets of repeated experiments and collect more data first."

"Hmm, that makes sense."

Edison nodded in deep agreement.

Meanwhile, Bronya, who was "dazed," also turned off her screen.

"Completely clueless..."

Bronya couldn't help but mutter.

Although I was determined to bring the story from the book to life, how exactly should I do it?

Are you suggesting I tie myself up with a ribbon and give it to my brother on Christmas Day?

Putting aside how she could hide this from her brother, even if she did send it over, she would be thrown out if she was discovered, right?

Bronya thought to herself, rather annoyed.

Moreover, Liu Bai often possesses Reanna's body, so he can switch bodies immediately if anything happens.

Reanna is ruthless when she lectures.

Therefore, it is impossible to solve the problem by "taking the initiative".

... Does this mean I have to sleep with my brother like before?

It's not that it's impossible...

After failing to think of any other solutions, Bronya decided that this was probably a decent method, the only downside being how embarrassing it was...

Night

"Brother, can you tell Bronya some bedtime stories tonight?"

Bronya tried her best to maintain a blank expression as she spoke to Liu Bai.

"Ah?"

A look of confusion appeared on Liu Bai's face.

"Telling stories is fine... but Bronya, didn't you stop doing that a long time ago? What's wrong today?"

Now that Bronya is the eldest child besides Mei, it's more accurate to say that she can tell stories to other children rather than need others to tell her stories.

Bronya felt like it had been a long time since she had heard her brother tell a story.

"I see... then there's nothing we can do."

Liu Bai, who was possessing Reanna's body, nodded upon hearing this reason. So, it means nostalgia, right?

That's a reason you can't refuse.

"Okay, let me see which book I haven't explained to you yet..."

Liu Bai squinted as he picked out books from the bookshelf.

But at that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Knock knock knock~

"Is... Alliance Leader Brother here?"

Mei cautiously pushed the door open a crack and peeked out, holding her homework notebook in her hand.

"I have a question I can't answer, and Dad isn't here. Can I ask you for help, brother?"

"No problem, which question?"

Liu Bai naturally wouldn't refuse Mei's request for advice.

After receiving Liu Bai's permission, Mei pushed open the door and entered.

... Is it just my imagination?

Bronya felt like something was off.
