"If you go in, you'll go around telling everyone about your date or something, which might cause a huge mess... Let's go."

"Okay~~"

Elysia hugged Liu Bai's arm again.

"By the way, does Liu Bai really like my breasts?"

"..."

Upon hearing this question, Liu Bai's lips twitched slightly.

"I'm sorry, I refuse to answer that question."

So you mean you like it?

"... So-so."

With a twitching smile, Liu Bai led Elysia into the ETStudio building.

The lobby on the first floor was quite empty, with only a few receptionists.

Well... without exception, all of these receptionists were penniless.

"Excuse me, could you tell me which floor the Principle Studio is on?" Liu Bai asked the receptionist.

"Principle Studio?"

Miss Flat looked up... Ah, isn't this Anzu?

Liu Bai looked at the little pink-haired girl in front of him with surprise—strictly speaking, it was pinkish-purple.

Liu Bai glanced at the others again. The other person he recognized was Wendy —but it seemed they didn't recognize him.

So, Bronya's dream concept seems rather novel?

"The Principle Studio is on the 50th floor. Are you two here for a job interview?"

Xing, who was more of a kid in her mind, politely asked Liu Bai and Elysia.

Although it was a dream, upon closer inspection, the apricot tree in front of me was indeed a little taller than I remembered.

"Yes."

While pressing down on Elysia's head to signal her to be quiet, Liu Bai nodded to Xing in front of him.

"Those two can just take the elevator over there, but..."

"But what?"

Seeing Liu Bai didn't rush upstairs but continued to press her for answers.

"It's nothing," Xing Wenjing shook her head. "You two seem to be a couple, right?"

"Yes, yes~~ Little sister, you have such good taste~!"

Even with Liu Bai pressing her head down, Elysia responded cheerfully.

"Um... I think the relationship between the two of you is obvious at a glance..."

The woman is affectionately holding the man's arm, and the man is pressing her head down with a doting look (from an apricot-like perspective). It would be strange if they weren't lovers.

"However, Ms. Bronya, the head and chief designer of the Principle Studio, hates people who bring their personal lives into their work... If you two want to get the job smoothly, perhaps you should keep some distance for now?"

Xing gestured.

"Huh? Is that Ms. Bronya a workaholic?" Elysia, somewhat surprised.

"Hmm... more or less. Ms. Bronya is indeed a very responsible game designer. Alright, if you two are going to have an interview, please go upstairs quickly."

Xing seemed to realize that she had said too much as the receptionist, so she immediately shut up.

"Let's go."

Seeing that he couldn't get any more information from Xing, Liu Bai immediately took Elysia into the elevator.

"Wow... a full hundred floors, that's really high."

Elysia glanced at the (1-100) next to the keypad control panel on the elevator and let out a soft exclamation.

"Actually, from the outside, it looks like there are two or three hundred layers—that's probably a little bug in this dream."

Liu Bai muttered to himself as he typed in the floor number.

"After all, even Bronya couldn't construct such a 'big' dream in great detail."

"Bronya? The Bronya that lady just mentioned? She's the owner of the dream?"

When this was mentioned, Elysia glanced at her chest and toes, and immediately became sullen again.

"Obviously, but as for the title 'lady'..."

The elevator ascended rapidly. Liu Bai hesitated for a moment, but decided not to continue the conversation and instead changed the subject.

"So for the sake of the 'plot' that's going to happen next, we can keep our distance from each other now."

"Liu Bai, saying that will only make people want to cause a bigger scene."

Elysia reluctantly let go of her hand.

I've never suffered such a loss in my life, okay?

Even though Elysia is open-minded, she still can't easily let go of the fact that she has no breasts—even though it's just a dream.

But that's something I'm proud of as a beautiful girl!

"Haven't you noticed that everyone you see in this building now is using a tablet?"

Liu Bai tried his best to comfort Elysia.

"Just like I said before, this isn't anything targeted; it's simply Bronya's resentment towards large breasts."

"But now you're even more equal than Liu Bai was to you, aren't you? It's less like resentment and more like revenge against society..."

As Elysia continued her rant, the elevator reached the fiftieth floor.

Liu Bai stepped out of the elevator with curiosity in his eyes. Elysia followed behind.

"Um... excuse me, are you two here for a job interview?"

A girl with short, black hair tinged with blue was timidly looking at Liu Bai and Elysia while holding a broom.

"... Seele?" Liu Bai was slightly surprised.

Seele should be considered an important character to Bronya, but surprisingly, she doesn't recognize herself, just like Xing downstairs.

Of course, Seele's chest, which was once the envy of the orphanage, had now become flat.

"Eh? S-Sir, do you know me?" Seele looked like a startled rabbit.

"Your name is written on the name tag, little sister~"

Elysia laughed and spoke up from behind Liu Bai.

"Ah! I see!" Seele breathed a sigh of relief. "So... so you two really are here for an interview?"

"Woof!"

A large white dog, which appeared out of nowhere, barked excitedly, almost as if answering for Liu Bai and the others.

"Kiana?"

Elysia squinted and saw that the big white dog also had a name tag hanging around its neck.

Upon hearing Elysia's voice, Liu Bai immediately felt a wave of exasperation.

Kiana again? Bronya's dream is such a mess... Well, although he has to admit that this identity is actually surprisingly suitable for Kiana, Bronya didn't just make it up.

It's a pity it's not a husky.

"She is our studio's mascot. Don't be afraid, Kiana. Although Kiana is naughty, she won't bite."

Watching Seele stroke "Kiana" while giving a serious explanation, Liu Bai had a lot of complaints but didn't know where to vent them.

"Hmm... I understand, I understand, neither of us is afraid of dogs."

Liu Bai adjusted his mindset.

"So, where are we going to have the interview now?"

"Ah! Excuse me! Please wait a moment, I'll go inform Ms. Bronya!"

Suddenly realizing what was happening, Seele immediately bowed ninety degrees to the two of them, then put down the broom and jogged towards the desk inside.

Liu Bai did indeed see a wisp of light gray hair inside.

"Rubbing~~"

"Woof woof!!"

After Seele ran away, Elysia, bored, started rubbing Kiana's head.

... Although it was a fairly normal, even beautiful, scene, Liu Bai, who knew the big dog's name, felt that the scene was somewhat unbearable to look at.

Okay, let's not worry about the name.

Liu Bai looked up at this floor.

The office was spacious and bright, with computers and other facilities on each desk. However, there weren't many people on the floor, so even though it was spacious and bright, it felt somewhat deserted.

However, not long after, Seele returned, followed by a tall, voluptuous, and capable woman with silver-gray hair.

"..."

Liu Bai stared into thought as he looked at Bronya behind Seele.

This Bronya isn't exactly the same as the Bronya I remember from the post-Honkai mature period, is she?

If Liu Bai remembers correctly, Bronya's height after the collapse was only 1.65 meters—well, that's not short, considering that her mother Cocolia, although she looks tall, is actually only 1.68 meters tall.

1.65 meters tall and Bianka is already as tall as the real Bianka —although Bianka still has some growth potential.

But the Bronya standing in front of Liu Bai now looks to be at least 175 cm tall, and in every sense of the word, she could be considered tall.

Okay, actually, height is a minor issue.

The real problem is...

Liu Bai glanced at Bronya's chest.

Hmm... Based on Liu Bai's visual comparison alone, if this bust size isn't in the three digits, Liu Bai might as well hang himself.

In his memory, the biggest ones were Planck and Aponia, both of whom were top-tier in terms of size and power, making them T0 in the current version—by the way, T0.5 was Himeko ...

But Bronya's is really going too far. Her office lady uniform is barely covering her, giving the impression that the fabric in Bronya's chest is about to burst open at any moment...

So, this really was a dream... Bronya really did her best to imagine the size.

While Liu Bai sighed silently, Elysia silently emanated resentment.

You're so old, and you still can't stand other people having breasts?!

That's outrageous!

Elysia never imagined that Bronya's appearance was fake, so she harbors deep resentment.

"Cough cough..."

Liu Bai also noticed Elysia's resentment at this moment and couldn't help but cough twice.

"..."

For Liu Bai's sake, Elysia tried her best to suppress her resentment.

"Are you two the newcomers here for the interview?"

Bronya, with her mature and sophisticated demeanor, nodded to Liu Bai and Elysia.

"Let me introduce myself. I am your interviewer, as well as the head and chief designer of the Principle Studio, Bronya Zaychek."

Bronya's mature and sophisticated demeanor gave off a cold and aloof feeling—which made Liu Bai quite uncomfortable.

"Liu Bai".

"Elysia".

The two also gave brief self-introductions.

Liu Bai was unsure what to say because he felt uncomfortable, while Elysia was too resentful to say much.
