A Secondary Herrscher Core? (Continued)
"To fully leverage the company's strengths? That's a pretty good idea, and mech battles..."
A glint of light flashed in Bronya's eyes; clearly, Bronya was intrigued.
"Liu Bai, now that you mention it, I do have a lot of ideas. How about we draw a couple of character designs first?"
Are you sure you want to draw character designs, and not just want to indulge your Gundam fantasies?
Who starts by drawing character designs?
However, Liu Bai didn't mind fulfilling Bronya in his dream.
After all, Bronya in the real world is really busy... Is she really that busy?
Liu Bai couldn't help but fall into deep thought once again.
Why does my impression over the past few days seem to be that Bronya is leading Mei Seele?
Liu Bai subconsciously touched his chin, while Bronya reached out and shook him.
"Bring me a chair, I'll teach you how to draw character designs."
"Good."
Liu Bai readily agreed, pulled over an office chair, and sat down next to Bronya, watching Bronya open a bunch of electronic devices he wasn't very familiar with.
... It should be a graphics tablet, right?
Anyway, Liu Bai really doesn't know much about things like painting.
Then Bronya picked up the pressure-sensitive pen, glanced at Liu Bai, then at herself, hesitated for a moment, and handed the pen to Liu Bai.
"Liu Bai, would you like to give it a try first?"
"Me? I have no experience with painting or this kind of equipment."
Liu Bai waved his hands repeatedly.
"It's okay, I can teach you."
"Then... how about giving it a try?"
Seeing Bronya's reliable expression, Liu Bai nodded hesitantly.
Bronya smiled after seeing Liu Bai nod.
"In that case, I'll start by teaching you how to hold a pen."
Bronya gestured for Liu Bai to sit down.
"Huh? Is it necessary to start from this point?" Liu Bai was a little surprised, but Bronya pressed Liu Bai down into a chair from behind without saying a word, and then reached out from behind to hold Liu Bai's hand and help him hold the pen.
Hmm... that sounds pretty normal?
The problem is that Bronya was supporting Liu Bai from behind, and she was bending over.
Furthermore, Bronya in the dream was at least 1.75 meters tall, so when Bronya bent over and Liu Bai sat down, the height reached Bronya's chest... well, it was placed behind Liu Bai's head.
... Was this intentional or a coincidence?
Even through his clothes, Liu Bai could feel the unusually soft and enormous size at the back of his head...
"Mr. Liu Bai seems a little stiff, what's wrong?"
The two leaned close together, Liu Bai could clearly feel Bronya's breath as she spoke.
"... Nothing, just marveling at how big this pen is... and how soft the drawing tablet is—no, I mean how big the drawing tablet is, and this pen... um, it's really nice." Fortunately, Liu Bai had seen his share of troubles, and after a moment of lapse in judgment, he quickly regained his senses.
"Is it big? It's just a regular style."
Bronya continued softly, taking a small step closer.
... Is it even possible to bury my head in there?
Liu Bai subconsciously pondered this question—well, it was a bit vulgar.
But if we don't think about this, wouldn't we be doing a disservice to our physical bodies?
This was a dream for Bronya, but for herself... it was reality in a different sense.
"Once Liu Bai is more familiar with his work, I'll give you this graphics tablet as a gift."
Although Bronya couldn't see Liu Bai's expression due to the angle, she could vaguely sense that Liu Bai was somewhat distracted.
"Alright, Liu Bai, please relax now..."
Bronya held Liu Bai's hand with her right hand, and her left hand went down Liu Bai's shoulder and directly touched Liu Bai's waist.
"..."
Is something wrong?
"Ms. Bronya, your left hand... is also part of the relaxation process?"
"It's just a massage to help you relax."
Bronya replied in a cool tone, which added to her persuasiveness.
"... Then I'll believe it this once."
Letter?
It's impossible to believe.
But... to be honest, Liu Bai is actually quite interested in what's to come.
"Believe me, I'm the head of the Principle Studio."
Bronya spoke righteously, but her left hand silently lifted Liu Bai's clothes and touched him a couple of times.
... Was I taken advantage of?
Okay, so this isn't surprising?
After all, she had been groped by Elysia and others quite a few times.
And from a certain perspective, this could be considered mutual exploitation...
Feeling Bronya's increasingly unrestrained hands under his clothes, Liu Bai wondered if this might be a win-win situation?
At least for now, Liu Bai is actually quite happy...
"Liu Bai, now you can try drawing whatever you want on the graphics tablet—don't worry about breaking it or anything like that."
However, as Bronya continued talking, her left hand, which had just touched Liu Bai's back and abs, started to move downwards.
Isn't this a bad idea?
Liu Bai put down the pressure-sensitive pen and caught Bronya's hand, which she had just stuffed into her pants.
While it's one thing to take advantage of someone, doing something like this... at least give him some mental preparation, right? This is making him a little panicked.
And this location... Is this girl being a bit reckless because of the dream? How dare she do this?
"Could it be that the chief designer of the prestigious Principle Studio is a woman who would sexually harass her subordinates in the workplace?!"
Liu Bai removed Bronya's hand and reprimanded her sternly.
"This is just a necessary step in the massage." Even in the face of Liu Bai's reprimand, Bronya remained unfazed. Despite her mature and sophisticated demeanor, she still displayed the innocent and naive nature of a young girl.
"Although this is my first time as a designer, Liu Bai, you should trust my character and morals."
"... I can't believe it at all, okay!"
Liu Bai looked at Bronya's expression, which was less like being emotionless and more like saying, "I'm doing it, what can you do about it?" and loudly complained.
"At least be a little more sincere!"
"Wordy."
Bronya, with a cold face, pushed Liu Bai into the office chair, as if she were forcing herself on him.
... No, it should be said that they have already started to force themselves on her.
"Take off your clothes— Liu Bai, this is a pre-employment physical examination. Hurry up! Let me see if your development is normal!"
Bronya looked down at Liu Bai, holding down Liu Bai's hands, her eyes cold and sickly.
"I'd never show you!"
How did things suddenly turn out like this?!
Shouldn't the main plot drag on and then abruptly end before moving on to the next part?
What's with this domineering CEO forcing himself on her? And there's even a yandere element to it!
I was just putting up a normal act of resistance!
"Don't worry, I won't just look at yours for nothing. At worst, I'll let you see mine too."
"You're calling me 'brother' again?! So what's going on here? And you still know I'm your brother?"
"Brother, you're really long-winded..."
Bronya gave Liu Bai a cold, aggressive look.
"In that case, I'll go first."
As she spoke, Bronya straddled Liu Bai 'Liu Bai waist, her round, full thighs clamping tightly around his waist to prevent Liu Bai from escaping. Ignoring the creaking of the office chair, Bronya began to unbutton her clothes from her elevated position.
... Really?
Liu Bai watched as Bronya gradually loosened her restraints on her chest and fell silent.
Because of its enormous size, Liu Bai couldn't even see Bronya's face at this moment; he could only see one unbutton after another.
"Liu Bai, keep resisting! Don't just look blank!"
Just as Liu Bai was fully focused, a stick struck down from behind, causing Bronya to stumble and fall off Liu Bai's waist.
"Things have gotten weird again! Run!"
The newcomer seized the opportunity, grabbed Liu Bai, and started running outside.
"... Mei?"
Liu Bai, who was being led away to escape, looked at the newcomers with some confusion.
"Mei? Whose name is that?! Mistaking someone else for another girl in front of her, even I, a magnanimous and beautiful girl, am furious right now!"
"... Is that Elysia?"
Looking at the Herrscher form of "Raiden Mei" before him, Liu Bai seemed to understand something.
So, in Bronya's dream Mei represented a "love rival"?
No wonder only Seele appeared in this dream before; after all, Bronya, Mei, Seele are a trio of best friends.
"I suggest you look at yourself now."
"I?"
As Elysia ran, she grabbed a small mirror and glanced at herself.
"Hey! A beautiful girl!"
"..."
"—Just kidding! Okay! I understand what happened now. To put it simply, I was just put in a 'skin', right?"
Elysia threw away the mirror.
"But I can't worry about that now! I have a feeling something worse is about to happen, it's just a skin—wait, my breasts seem to be back!"
Elysia suddenly stopped and touched her chest.
"Not surprising at all—but hey, the guy who was just urging me on, don't stop!"
The scene suddenly turned into Liu Bai dragging Elysia away.
"Hey! Aili! What would happen if we died in a dream?!"
"Of course it will go back to the amusement park! How could anyone die in a game? But why are you asking that?"
"Because..."
Liu Bai's lips twitched as he looked behind him.
Bronya had just been knocked unconscious by a blow to the head, had already stood up unsteadily.
