This Dream Is Going Too Far

"If you really insist on stopping me, then I'll have no choice but to knock you out—after all, as a wife, there's no need to be polite to women who are disreputable around her husband, is there? I've already done my duty to remind you, Miss Elysia."

"... So you were really insulting me just now, right?"

Elysia sighed as well, and with a flick of her wrist, a delicate longbow appeared in her hand.

"Although I hate solving problems with force, if Miss Rita insists, I'm happy to oblige—let's have a battle for Liu Bai's hand."

"... Do you really have to fight?"

Sure enough, the development has started to go astray again.

"Sorry, you have no right to speak here."

Rita gave Liu Bai a gentle smile that was tinged with a sickly intensity.

"So how did things turn out this way?" Elysia sighed from the side.

"I think you're the least qualified person here to say something like that, Aili," Liu Bai said, rubbing his forehead.

Elysia ignored Liu Bai and smiled at Rita.

"Miss Rita, how about we go out and have a friendly spar?"

"I couldn't have gotten it."

Ten minutes later, in the game room.

Liu Bai and Elysia sat side by side on the bench in the room.

"Why are you arguing with Rita about this..."

Liu Bai looked at the Pink Elf Miss beside him with a feigned silly smile and felt somewhat helpless.

"No matter what, it's someone else's dream. This time it's really a mess."

Liu Bai looked at the system's message "Simulation Failed" and the subsequent message "Elysia Compatibility +30%", and was inexplicably speechless.

"Well... in a way, it was because of the dream that I dared to spar with Miss Rita."

Elysia scratched her face guiltily.

"After all, I was the one who was used and then discarded, so it's only natural that I'd be a little angry, right?"

"Rita is actually half-demented... or rather, because of her dreams, she is more loyal to her desires."

Liu Bai rubbed his forehead.

"Actually, I think if I try hard enough, I can get by—you have to believe my face."

Seeing the "Simulation Failed" message on the system, Liu Bai felt that his professional career had been insulted.

Apart from my first simulation, I've never failed before, right?

This is an absolutely disgraceful incident...

"Do you really believe that Liu Bai's kiss on the face can fool a girl?"

Elysia reached out and pinched Liu Bai's face, clearly displeased.

"Liu Bai, do you want to explain why the girls around you treat you like their husband in their dreams?"

"... Do I really need to explain?"

Liu Bai remained silent for a moment.

"Although it's not impossible to explain, by the time we finish explaining, today might just be over."

"Then it's not necessary."

After hearing Liu Bai's words, Elysia immediately understood what was going on.

"Actually, when I think about it carefully, I can understand this kind of pure and beautiful dream quite well... although the experience of being a third party is terrible."

So, do you want to come again?

Liu Bai sighed wearily.

"I don't really care, but Elysia... you can't fight everyone, can you?"

"If I could, I wouldn't want to resort to force... It's just that Miss Rita was too aggressive." Elysia put on an innocent expression.

"Actually, regarding the topic of 'husband cheating,' I think Rita has been quite tolerant..."

As Liu Bai spoke, he glanced at Elysia.

"And ever since you beat up Rita and caused the dream to collapse, you can no longer be considered innocent."

"Y-yes, that's true. It's practically a negative start in terms of affection..."

As a guest who beat up the host's family, Elysia couldn't really stand up for herself.

"Speaking of which, couldn't Liu Bai have chosen... someone gentler?"

"Magnificent?"

"This is someone I know, and the person I want to get to know is someone who is currently close to Liu Bai."

"In terms of conditions, Hua meets the latter criteria." Liu Bai rolled his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Elysia couldn't help but smile, but still shook her head. "Although I'm glad that Hua can make it through our final days, in some ways Hua is too boring and too traditional. Hua's dream is nothing more than a husband, children, and a warm bed."

"Hmm, that's a surprisingly irrefutable argument, but as for a more moderate candidate... I do have one."

Bronya's image appeared in Liu Bai's mind.

No, perhaps Seele is more... than Bronya.

[Built-in simulation has started]

[This simulation is a dream simulation – Bronya's Dream]

The scenery around them changed instantly.

When they came to their senses again, Liu Bai and Elysia were already standing outside the door of a high-tech building.

Her attire also changed to that of a white-collar worker.

[The interim goal of this simulation – Onboarding Principle Studio]

"Ah... ETStudio?"

Elysia looked at the towering building in front of her with amazement.

"Einstein. Tesla. Studio - the full name of this company."

Liu Bai explained softly to Elysia.

Liu Bai was actually extremely interested in this company formed by Einstein, Tesla, and the Welt father and son... well, after all, the company mainly deals in Gundam anime.

He would even build Gundams himself—well, that didn't really appeal to Liu Bai.

After all, Liu Bai is no longer very interested in building Titans or colossal robots.

It's a pity I've been too busy with important matters to come and see for myself.

However, to be fair... this level of high-rise building—it's not that Liu Bai doubts the technological capabilities of the era, but rather that the style doesn't quite fit Anti-Entropy's personality.

It's too high... Liu Bai can't even see the top of the building when he looks up.

Moreover, the entire building is too white; the silvery-white skyscraper doesn't fit the heavy metal aesthetic of Anti-Entropy.

But ETStudio + Bronya... this combination will create a chemical reaction, right?

"Einstein? Tesla?"

Elysia tilted her head; she did recognize the former.

"Are we going to meet Dr. Einstein this time?"

"No, we... or rather, I might encounter a big surprise this time."

A hint of anticipation appeared on Liu Bai's face.

If only I could actually see Bronya in her mature form...

"And judging from our current attire, we might be employees of this company."

Elysia nodded repeatedly at Liu Bai's words.

"So, we need to go inside?"

"That's right."

Liu Bai nodded, then glanced at the curious and restless Elysia, but suddenly froze the next moment.

"Um... Aili, don't you think you're light?"

"Lighter?" Elysia was taken aback. "Huh? Is Liu Bai praising me?"

"...No, this is a very proper question." Liu Bai's gaze shifted to Elysia's chest.

Elysia's gaze followed Liu Bai's.

... and then I saw my toes.

"..."

Where are my flawless breasts, the kind that make me a beautiful girl?!

Chapter 296 This Dream Went Too Far

Elysia awkwardly reached out and clenched her fists at her chest a couple of times, but when she realized she couldn't grasp anything, her face fell.

"Is the owner of this dream a demon?"

"Um... it's possible that she just has a strong resentment towards large breasts."

"The key point is that even though my breasts have disappeared, I haven't lost weight!"

Elysia showed a protesting expression.

"This is just too unreasonable!"

I think your focus is quite unreasonable...

And speaking of which, are you really able to detect your weight in real time?

Liu Bai was somewhat speechless at Elysia's focus on him.

"So, Liu Bai, let's go back!"

Elysia angrily grabbed Liu Bai's arm.

Hmm... this time it's a bit uncomfortable.

This was truly the first time I had felt such a strange sensation since being with Elysia.

"... Can I still go back on my own initiative?"

"Hmm... wouldn't it be easier to go back if we just made a scene?"

"..."

It seems that Elysia is really angry this time, as she even said something like "make a big scene".

However, Liu Bai was still a little confused as to whether Elysia was angry that her "breasts were gone" or that her "breasts were gone but her weight hadn't changed".

Well, since we're already here...

Liu Bai looked up at the towering, silvery-white building whose top was nowhere in sight.

Anyway, he wasn't lacking anything, and besides, he was actually quite interested in Bronya's dream.

"Such a beautiful and magnificent building, wouldn't it be a shame not to go inside and take a look?"

"Is Liu Bai inviting me on a date?"

Upon hearing Liu Bai's words, Elysia's annoyance vanished instantly, and she leaned against Liu Bai playfully.

Hmm... it's still a bit uncomfortable.

"Spare me, dear Miss Aili."

Liu Bai pulled his arm away and reached out to rub Elysia's head.
