Something's Off About Today's MOTH (Continued)

"Um... Aili, you're back."

Danzhu was the first to greet Aili, after all, the lively otaku has pretty good social skills.

However, Elysia always felt that there was something unsettling about the other person's eyes.

Um... it's something like the feeling of getting hair on your body?

"Aili, didn't they say you were transferred to Australia?"

"Yeah, but they changed the defense again after only half a year? I even told everyone in the group! Doesn't anyone care about me?" Elysia ignored the slightly uncomfortable incongruity and put her hands on her hips with a dissatisfied expression.

"Um... really? We went out for a buffet last night, so we might not have seen it."

Danzhu thought for a moment and replied rather perfunctorily, "Anyway... it's all a small matter."

"Ugh, this is such a blatant rip-off..." Elysia pouted. "Speaking of which, I saw a really cute anime girl made in the group chat, and Sakura-chan's adorable bunny ears after her Hypermutation Surgery! Where is it? Where is it?"

"They're definitely following Liu Bai."

Mobius said somewhat impatiently.

"Can you just be quiet for a second?"

"That's possible... but Dr. Mobius, aren't you completely not working?"

In fact, only Blanca and Klein were actually working in the entire office.

"Because I drank again yesterday... I have a headache."

"So, Doctor, just because Captain Himiko can chug straight from the bottle doesn't mean you can't too," Blanca said, looking up with a hint of helplessness.

"... I seriously suspect that guy cheated. How come I, a Fusion Warrior, can't outdrink an ordinary person like her?"

Mobius's face showed a defiant expression.

So it's really strange! Why can't you be immune to hangovers after becoming Fusion Warrior?

"He's bad at the game but has a huge addiction." Cangxuan succinctly launched a mental attack on Mobius.

"... If all else fails, you can even go to Mei's side." Mobius glared fiercely at Cangxuan.

"I can't accept the speed at which Dr. Mei spends money."

Cangxuan responded calmly.

Does she really think she can't see that Mei is a better fit for her Mobius?

However, the problem is that not spending money is truly... indescribable, to the point that Cangxuan's heart skips a beat just looking at the numbers.

Like that Prometheus submachine gun... Have some shame, really have some shame. The materials used in that thing have fixed the cost, it's impossible to lower it. You might be able to make one or two, but you're starting with twenty or thirty? Goodbye.

Cangxuan was almost dizzy when he saw the cost. This was something he couldn't afford to do. Cangxuan seriously doubted whether he would have enough money to pay his salary after this project was finished.

So Cangxuan decisively ran away. He couldn't afford to play that game, and besides, there were some differences in their philosophies regarding manipulating people's minds in computers. Cangxuan simply didn't want to try something that was too exciting.

"If you really find me an eyesore, how about you ask Sister Eden to invest in a quantum computer lab for me?"

"Just tell her yourself. Eden's a rich and stupid guy, he can easily fool her."

Mobius heartlessly suggested to Cangxuan that he could just go and scam money, since what amount of money might seem like a lot to others would be nothing to Eden.

To put it bluntly, even if Eden found out he had been fooled afterward, he wouldn't care.

"... Did you trick Sister Eden into giving you a lot of things?"

Mobius's practiced manner stunned Cangxuan. Aren't you two best friends?

"It's alright, it's just the right situation as a love rival?" Mobius pursed his lips.

"... Forget it, I don't have your thick skin."

Cangxuan looked away.

Although Mobius calls Eden his rival every day, the two are actually family, and are, in a sense, the first wife and the second wife.

Cangxuan felt that their relationship wasn't that close yet, and he believed that even close friends should maintain some respect when it came to sensitive issues like money.

"Eh... Eden, let me think what I want?" Elysia also looked thoughtful.

"Those who are not involved should not think about such issues."

Mobius gave Elysia a rather disdainful look; this girl always wanted to get involved in every little thing.

"Why not use this time to get a medical check-up?"

When the topic of physical examinations came up, everyone turned to look at Elysia, seemingly waiting for Elysia answer.

"Um... why is everyone looking at me?" Elysia sensed that strange atmosphere again. "I'm having a medical checkup... what's wrong?"

Why does it seem like everyone is looking forward to their physical exam?

"Hey... this is suspicious." Elysia frowned, scrutinizing the people in the office.

"It's nothing," Cangxuan said, lowering his head.

"Cough cough... It's nothing." Danzhu continued playing games with Cangxuan.

"Work, work." Blanca and Klein lowered their heads again.

"Something's not right, something's really not right."

Elysia frowned and met Mobius's gaze.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Mobius tilted his head, revealing a composed expression. "Is it wrong for me to care about you?"

"Emmm... it's definitely not out of concern!"

"It's out of concern." Mobius remained unmoved. Having seen many storms, Mobius was second to none in terms of thick skin.

Without a doubt, she just wanted to know how much Elysia weighed now.

"Then... let's make a reservation."

No matter what Mobius said, he couldn't change Elysia's feeling that something was wrong.

Mobius was trying to sabotage himself.

Elysia was absolutely convinced of this, but for a moment she couldn't figure out how Mobius was trying to trick her, and she didn't know how to retaliate.

"I'll go see the other people first, and I'll have the medical check-up when I have time."

After saying that, Elysia skipped and hopped away.

"Ah... I didn't fall for it."

Danzhu looked at the closed door with great regret.

"Sis, how about we make a bet? How much does Miss Elysia weigh right now?"

"...58 or above, I'll bet you your figure collection budget for this month."

"I bet it's over 60! The PhD will be our witness!"

Mobius: "..."

These two are even worse than me.

To be honest, she's the only one who really knows Elysia's exact weight; Mei only knows a rough estimate herself.

However, everyone enjoyed the joke about weight in Prometheus, which led to some rather absurd misjudgments about Elysia.

Moreover, sometimes, even when Elysia's figure remains unchanged, her curvy figure can be a source of anxiety for others.

(Speaking of Mei, he really knows how to sneak in his own stuff... I'll check Prometheus when I have time to see if he has any of my own stuff.)

"Hmm... those people are really strange. I always feel like their attention is on me for no reason."

Aili knew that Liu Bai usually lived next door to Mobius, so she went next door while pondering with her chin in her hand.

"Well, never mind, instead of thinking about these things, let's think about how to give Liu Bai a surprise!"

Elysia patted her cheeks. Anyway, she was already part of the "weirdos" group, so she didn't care about getting attention. But love was a major life event for a young girl!

After adjusting her mindset slightly, Elysia prepared to push open the door to the psychological counseling room.

However, before she could even open the door, Elysia heard a faint female voice inside.

"Gretel- chan, listen to this question: Which of the following options is most likely Miss Elysia's weight? a. 10g, b. 100g, c. 10kg, d. 100kg"

Bang--!

"Hey! Who came up with this question?! These options are absolutely awful!"

Elysia slapped the door open and looked at the two little ones inside with a displeased expression.

These two little ones are, of course, Prometheus and Gretel.

"Welcome back, Miss Elysia." Prometheus greeted Elysia with a blank expression.

"Ah, thank you—no! That's not the question! What's with that other question?!"

Are you asking about your weight?

"That's right! Whose beautiful girl weighs 100kg?!"

"Miss Elysia, this is just a randomly generated question about the application of units, and as the subject of the question, you are free to specify the correct answer."

Prometheus answered calmly.

After calculation, it was decided that instead of telling Elysia that the question was found in a joke database, it would be better to use a more tactful approach.

This is the optimal solution.

"Huh? Really... No! It's not that."

Even if Elysia had the thickest skin, she wouldn't be thick enough to change her weight to 10kg.

"Could you please revise this question? And why was I generated as the main character in the question?"

"Because it's a random probability." Prometheus, with a poker face, gave an explanation that Elysia couldn't refute.

Okay, random. It's frustrating, but there's really nothing to say. We can't afford to get angry with a super AI over something so trivial, can we?

After a moment of silence, Elysia continued, "So, can it be changed?"

"...Of course." After silently calculating for a moment, Prometheus decided to accept the proposed modification. "What would you like to modify?"

"Of course it's an option! Change all the 10s to 5s!"

"Understood— Gretel, please listen to the question. Which of the following options is most likely Miss Elysia's weight? a. 5g, b. 50g, c. 5kg, d. 50kg."

"D".

Gretel said in a childlike voice.

"Gretel- chan is so great~~" Elysia picked up Gretel and then gave Gretel a piece of candy.

Prometheus simply watched this scene quietly.

The Herrscher... is so easy to please.

No, the scope should be limited to the individual Elysia.

Seemingly noticing Prometheus's gaze, Elysia reached out to try and lift Prometheus up as well, but Elysia couldn't manage it on her first try.

Oh right... this is a supercomputer, you definitely couldn't lift it with the strength of a normal baby.

Elysia inexplicably sensed an awkward atmosphere in the room, but fortunately Elysia immediately used her arms to lift Prometheus up, easing the awkwardness as much as possible.

"Prometheus- chan is great too! Come here, let me pat your head~~"

Prometheus: "..."

"By the way, Prometheus, do you know where Liu Bai went?"

Elysia finally remembered her original purpose.

"You can ask other people in the chat group about your father's whereabouts."

"Then there won't be any surprise!"

"I'm sorry, I don't know where Father is either, but if you don't mind, you can wait here for a while. Father has to work here today."

"Hmm... that's true, there's no need to actively seek out Liu Bai to make it a pleasant surprise."

Elysia looked enlightened and put the two little ones down.
