Kevin's Urge to Ask for Trouble

Why are you all so calm?! Give us some truly touching moments that belong to the main characters!

"You told others about this? Liu Bai?" Eden stretched.

"... Did Liu Bai inform you?" Elysia finally found a possibility.

"No, Liu Bai hasn't mentioned you much lately."

"Wow, don't you want to show off your perfect girlfriend at all?" Elysia pouted.

"... I advise you to think twice before you speak here."

Eden sighed.

Your girlfriend is your girlfriend, and everyone has accepted that over time. But if you say she's the perfect girlfriend... even if that's only half true, no one will accept it, because accepting it would be like belittling yourself.

"Alright." Elysia nodded, a rare look of insecurity on her face. "So, is it really because the news that I'm Herrscher isn't sensational enough?"

"... Wolves and dogs are both canines, but they are fundamentally different."

Eden discovered that Elysia was getting a little too fixated on this.

"We've known you for so long, don't we know what kind of person you are? Saying 'oh' is already giving us face—unless you're saying 'I've become Herrscher, and I can barely suppress the dark power in my left hand.'"

"I'm not Kosma, I wouldn't say something so melodramatic..."

Elysia scratched her face somewhat embarrassedly.

"By the way, how is Kosma doing? It feels like it's been a while since I've seen him."

"It's alright, it's just that following Kevin... I've become a complete idiot."

Eden thought about Kosma, who had returned once during the Lunar New Year, and unusually uttered a somewhat rude word.

"Although he has become a seasoned warrior, he is still a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) in his daily life... or rather, an optimist."

"That's good too!"

Elysia genuinely thought this was a great idea, but then Elysia thought of something else.

"By the way, did you change your security guard? I was shocked when I found out it wasn't Sakura."

You mean Kalpas?

Eden glanced out the window.

"As for the newcomer, although Liu Bai's idea was to just keep her around, Kalpas still kicked Ying out of the guardhouse a few days ago and moved in himself."

"Although he looks fierce, he's a kind child."

Elysia imagined the scene of Sakura being driven out by Kalpas and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Alright, I won't disturb your afternoon tea any longer, Eden. I'm going to find Liu Bai for a kiss~!"

"So in the end we still have to go find Liu Bai ..." Eden shook his head, ignoring Elysia had already left, and thought of something else, "But speaking of which, that thing that Mobius did last month... is it called the Hypermutation Surgery?"

Becoming a warrior and fighting alongside Liu Bai... Eden was very interested in that.

"Doctor! Doctor! Doctor Mei, Dr. Mei, she..."

"Danzhu, catch your breath and speak slowly."

Mobius coldly turned to look at Danzhu, who was panting heavily.

"What's wrong with Mei?"

"Dr. Mei! Dr. Mei has won a seat in Parliament! And she has proposed abolishing the United Nations and having the Moth Chasers to Fire lead the world!"

"It won't work. Although the master is weak and the servant is strong now, the Moth Chasers to Fire will not try to force the abdication of the master if they can wait for the master to die of natural causes."

Mobius shook his head.

"She got this seat by defeating many people. After all that effort, Mei's goal is definitely not this kind of boring proposal."

However, Mobius felt that even if the Moth Chasers to Fire were to take its place, the improvement would be limited.

"As expected of the Doctor!" Danzhu showed an expression of admiration. "That's why Dr. Mei later proposed expanding the combat department!"

"Hmm... this will pass. Mei's previous suggestion will likely stir up some people's ambitions."

Mobius nodded this time.

Previously, Moth Chasers to Fire wanted to expand its army, it had to consider the whims of the officials. Now, the officials are still the officials, but the Moth Chasers to Fire has a history of changing fortunes, and it no longer needs to consider anyone's opinion.

"Who is the head of the combat department...?"

"It's Dr. Mei!" Danzhu exclaimed excitedly.

This time, Mobius looked puzzled. "Mei...? Such an important department is entrusted to a scientist like Mei?"

"Because I have a lot of power."

Mei walked in from outside at that moment.

"It's just a compromise. Currently, more than two-thirds of the Moth Chasers to Fire's combat force are from our 'faction.' In fact, we can say that we are the largest faction within Moth Chasers to Fire."

"..." For the first time, Mobius felt he couldn't quite understand what Mei was saying. "How did you do that?"

"Some of them were originally our people, and some are 'legacy' left by those I took down... It doesn't feel real at all, does it, Doctor?"

"... Don't even mention me, even if you brought Liu Bai here, he might not feel it."

Mobius gave Mei a deep look.

She thought she was a monster enough, but looking at Mei in front of her now, Mobius could only sigh that Liu Bai had taught a real monster.

"So you should attend more meetings, Doctor. Although some meetings are long and tedious, they still contain some useful information. However, as for the professor... he should have anticipated this long ago."

Mei pushed up her glasses and revealed a somewhat cold smile.

"However, I'm actually a bit anxious. If I could buy some more time, I should be able to try to Moth Chasers to Fire."

"... Because of the Fusion Warrior, and Elysia?" Mobius said thoughtfully.

"Pretty much. The main reason is the Fusion Warrior. We can't wait. It's necessary to immediately determine the third... and the subsequent Fusion Warrior."

"??? The third one?" Danzhu, who was listening in, looked confused.

What, the third?

Did I miss some important experiment?

Wait a minute! I've been to work these past few days!

"... That's right, the third one."

Mobius smiled upon hearing this and nodded at Mei.

"As for the third one, what about Kevin? After analysis, he and Parvati get along well."

"That ice-type pig-shaped Emperor-Class Honkai Beast?" Mei immediately found the target that Mobius had mentioned.

"It is an elephant—although it looks a lot like a wild boar, both Parvati, which is similar to it and disappeared in the previous siege, are actually elephant-shaped Ganesha Honkai Beast."

"If it looks like a wild boar, fights like a wild boar, and sounds like a wild boar, then it is a wild boar."

Mei crossed her arms. Although she was a biology expert, she still sometimes marveled at the wonder of this phenomenon—those Emperor-Class Honkai Beasts that looked like wild boars were actually elephants in essence?

"Wild boar it is."

Mobius sighed. Anyway, she was too lazy to argue with Mei about whether a dead Honkai Beast was a pig or an elephant—especially since she didn't really understand why that thing had such a short nose. With a short nose, its legs were also short. If she hadn't studied its genes, this thing would really be a wild boar.

When she was named, she used the name of Ganesha, the elephant-headed god, from a local folk mythology.

"Is everything alright?" Mei asked again. "Won't the cold have any impact on the surgery?"

Unlike the multi-element Honkai Beast like Shesha, whose lightning power is merely an added bonus, Ganesha stands out for its purity. Even in death, one can feel the chill that originates from its very essence. Mei has no doubt that if that thing hadn't been implanted, it would have frozen the human body first.

"It will definitely have an impact, but it shouldn't be too strong... Hmm, I can try to make some preparations."

Mobius made no attempt to hide it.

"If all else fails, I'll grab Aili to help. As a human scientist, it's not unreasonable for me to grab a Herrscher, is it?"

Chapter 393 Kevin's Death-Seeking Desire

The two planes landed one after the other at the Moth Chasers to Fire's airfield.

Soon, one person disembarked from each of the two planes.

"Hey! Su! Long time no see!"

Kevin rushed over to give his best friend a bear hug.

"What do you mean 'long time'? We just video chatted last night... But you haven't changed at all, no, I should say you've gotten even stronger."

Sue smiled helplessly and returned Kevin's hug.

"Captain! Captain! Slow down!"

On Kevin's plane, a somewhat thin figure then jumped out.

"It's more accurate to say that you're too slow, Kosma." Kevin waved to the figure behind him.

"Surely you should bring something with you, right?"

Kosma a pile of gift boxes, looked displeased. After carefully placing the boxes on the ground, he looked up at the two of them.

"Brother Su! I knew you were the one who could get the captain down so quickly!"

Kosma looked at Su with a respectful expression.

Because of Kevin, Kosma and Sue are quite familiar with each other, so Kosma has great respect for the always calm and wise Sue, and sometimes even wonders how his older brother became Sue's childhood friend.

"Here! This is a gift the captain prepared for you, Brother Su."

"Hey! Kosma, you little brat!" Kevin ruffled Kosma's hair but didn't say anything more.

(Actually, these two aren't that different, are they?)

Su looked at the scene before her with a sense of helplessness.

"Su, please accept it."

After Kevin finished rubbing Kosma's head, he took the gift that Kosma had handed him.

"Kosma and I put a lot of thought into finding something you should like."

"Then I'll have to look forward to it."

Su didn't bother with any fancy gestures; she immediately opened the gift, revealing a set of sewing needles inside.

Having been a doctor for so many years, Su was naturally familiar with this.

"Oh... I thought you were going to come up with something outrageous, but it turned out to be this... I really like it."

"Hey, of course, do you think I don't know you?" Kevin puffed out his chest. "By the way... didn't you bring any gifts for our senior sister and master?"

"There's nothing I can do. I just came off the front lines. Actually, I was performing surgery on the wounded yesterday morning." Su smiled helplessly.

Upon hearing Sue's words, Kevin's smile faded, and his tone became somewhat heavy. "... You've had it tough too."

"Who told me to be a doctor? Besides, aren't you the one in the most danger, being on the front lines?"

"Sigh..." Kevin sighed deeply, then waved his hand abruptly, "Forget it, let's not talk about such heavy things. It's okay if we didn't buy a gift, anyway, my senior sister and master won't care about such a small thing."

Shaking his head, Kevin stretched out his arm and glanced at his watch again.

"Hmm... judging by the time, Senior Sister should be here by now, right?"

"Senior sister said she'd be picking up master's wife on the way and would be a little late." Su glanced at the sky. "So, should we wait here for a while, or go directly to find Mei?"

These two guys have no respect for Mei.

"Let's wait for Senior Sister. Anyway, it's not her... um, it's fine."

If the two of them go alone, they might be bullied badly by the Mei. Things might be better when the main force arrives.

"That's it...?"

Su sensed something unusual.

"Kevin, you prepared a gift for Mei too, right? What did you prepare?"

"... Kitchenware." After a brief silence, Kevin replied.
