There's Something Wrong with the Vibe Here!
"Yes, but we'll be moving soon! Sister Eden has invested in building a much bigger... really huge new base."
Pardo answered excitedly. Although she was a little afraid of Aponia, as a fellow countrywoman she knew well, Pardo did not dislike Aponia.
"Eden ...she always spends money so extravagantly," Aponia said with a slight smile.
"Who can blame us when Eden is rich... By the way, Aponia, would you like to join our group?"
"A group?" Aponia looked puzzled.
"It's just a cell phone!"
"This?" Aponia pulled out a fairly new phone, but the screen was completely blank. "A gift from Eden, but... I don't use it most of the time."
"It's okay, we'll help you! There are plenty of people in our group!"
Are there any Lord God?
"Hmm... the head of the household doesn't use a cell phone much either. If he does, he'll probably use someone else's."
After all, it wasn't appropriate for Liu Bai to carry his phone around all the time.
"So... anyone in the group could be Lord God?" Aponia tilted her head.
"Whoa... This is so scary! But... it seems to make sense." Pardo scratched Aponia head. "By the way, why do you call the head of the family 'Lord God'?"
Pardo felt that the title sounded too distant.
"Because the Lord God is the Lord God."
Aponia didn't explain anything to Pardo, she just said it gently.
She knew that Pardo couldn't understand her "devoutness"... As for whether Liu Bai was a true "god," that was not important to Aponia.
Her only companion, her Guardian Spirit... that's enough for her.
"Hmm... it's really hard to understand... Okay, I've added you to the group, Aponia!"
Pardo scratched her head and returned the phone.
[I really want to adopt a cat and invite Aponia to join the group chat "We're a Loving Family"]
"Expert": Huh? Who did Pardo bring in here?
"The Magician": Aponia? Why does this name seem familiar?
"Scholar": I remember Eden's friend on Dusk Alley, the one who sent the Kalpas over.
"Chef": Oh! Now I remember! The big-breasted nun Eden mentioned!
"I really want to have a cat": Sister Vil-V switched accounts so quickly...
The ultimate example is Vil-V talking to herself...
Aponia instinctively looked at her chest.
Big-breasted nun... Is this how Eden describes himself?
Chapter 414 The art style here is off!
"Aponia": Hello
Aponia slowly typed two words in the group chat using a one-finger typing technique.
Conductor: Hello!
Reply instantly.
"I really want to have a cat": Sister Vil-V, are you slacking off right now?
In the middle of the day, only Vil-V was so active in the group chat. Pardo felt something was off. We, who should be the ones slacking off, were busy running around, but Vil-V was actually slacking off?
This is intolerable!
"Conductor": You brat, don't talk nonsense! I've just been freed from Mei's oppression! I completed that guy's perverted demands in less than a week.
"Pardo, are all these people... that person named Vil-V?" Aponia looked at the conversation between the two in the group with a puzzled expression. There were several people, but why did Pardo act as if she was talking to only one person?
"Ah, well, Sister Vil-V likes to use alternate accounts. Most of the people in the group whose names are related to their job roles are Sister Vil-V."
Pardo scratched her head, ultimately too embarrassed to admit that her sister Vil-V was schizophrenic...
"I see." Aponia nodded, roughly understanding what the so-called trumpet meant.
This lady is an interesting person.
"Is Sakura-san in the group chat too?" Aponia looked at Sakura beside her with some curiosity.
Ding dong~
"Pardo is not allowed to keep cats": In
Aponia glanced at her phone, then looked up and saw Sakura giving her a kind smile.
"..."
Looking at the names in the group, Aponia fell into deep thought.
"Why is your online name... this, Miss Sakura?"
Pardo says "I really want to have a cat," while Ying says "Pardo is not allowed to have a cat"... This is clearly a targeted attack.
"Because I'm allergic to cat fur."
Sakura looked at Pardo with a kind smile.
"Pardo, if you dare to keep a cat, I'll kill myself."
"Can't I even think about it?!" Pardo pouted.
"Are rabbits... allergic to cat fur?" Aponia asked thoughtfully.
"... Although I have rabbit ears, I still have nothing to do with rabbits."
Sakura's expression was subtle. The physical signs of the other Fusion Warrior were not very obvious, but her rabbit... fox (probably) ears were obvious at a glance—anyway, there was no difference—if she didn't trust Mobius's character in scientific research, she would have suspected that Mobius was messing with her.
Incidentally, because she now has two extra ears, Sakura can listen to music with her human ears while using her fox ears for reconnaissance, so she wears a pair of headphones whenever she has free time.
By the way, although Sakura used to hang out with Eden all the time, her taste in music... is probably more into heavy metal rock? And the kind that's "super heavy metal," which might make you wonder if listening to it too much will damage your hearing.
In short, not to mention Eden, even Elysia was horrified of the music coming from Sakura's headphones. Fortunately, Sakura was self-aware enough not to play music out loud.
Aponia tilted her head, somewhat unable to understand why a "little superhero" would be allergic to cat fur.
However, seeing Sakura's subtle expression, Aponia wisely refrained from asking further questions.
"When shall we go to see the Lord God?"
Aponia steered the conversation to the issue she cared about most; as for the group chat on her phone, Aponia found it merely a bit novel.
"I really want to have a cat": Sister Vil-V! Do you know where the head of the household is right now?
"Conductor": I don't know, maybe he's teaching little Gretel?
Although Vil-V is currently taking a break, she was indeed extremely busy before today, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to work so hard to produce the future Judgement of Shamash in just one week.
Pardo didn't tag anyone else after hearing this, since she knew everyone was busy and that it would only take her a few steps to find it herself.
"Let's go! Let's go see little Gretel!"
"I'm going back." Kalpas had absolutely no desire to stay with Aponia.
No, he actually didn't want to spend any time doing this "waste of time" with anyone.
Seeing Kalpas turn and leave, Pardo and Ying didn't say anything, after all, they knew what kind of person Kalpas was.
Of course, if they had insisted on dragging Kalpas, Kalpas would probably have been very unhappy and followed along, but the two of them felt that it was not necessary to force Kalpas to do this for such a small matter.
"His temper is as bad as ever," Aponia commented briefly, "But there's a hint of gentleness about him now."
Sister, could you please stop commenting?
Sakura was already mentally complaining, "Don't you know Kalpas is really annoyed with you? Even if you want to comment, can't you wait until Kalpas?"
However, when faced with Aponia's evaluation, Kalpas only paused slightly before turning away without looking back, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Waaah... I was so scared! I was afraid Brother Kalpas would suddenly turn around..." Pardo patted her chest, her face still showing signs of shock.
"He won't hit you."
Sakura glanced at Pardo.
Kalpas doesn't usually bully the weak, so Pardo is more worried about whether she will hit her than about Kalpas hitting her.
After all, Sakura really wanted to spank Pardo because of the cat-owning thing.
"Let's go, I'll lead the way."
Sakura shifted her gaze from Pardo and began to lead the way.
By the way, Sakura also wanted to participate in a "parade". Putting everything else aside, how could the scale and atmosphere of Aponia make her feel terrified?
Do you know how much she wanted to curse after she first met Aponia?
With Eden, Elysia, and Mobius on top of her, Sakura would frankly admit that, apart from these three, she ranks fourth in "combat power."
Sakura wasn't afraid of anything else, like Vil-V, Mei, or Hua.
Among these women, those with better figures than her weren't as virtuous and capable as she was, and those who were more virtuous and capable didn't have as good figures as her. So what did she have to be afraid of?
But now, Aponia has suddenly appeared out of nowhere... Sakura roughly estimated that Aponia, judging from the data alone, could probably push Mobius out of the "Big Three" position.
Well, it's mostly because of the "Big Three," only Mobius is really just there to fill the numbers—at least compared to Eden and Elysia's fighting power, he's practically just there to fill the numbers. But even so, Mobius still completely overwhelms the following.
After all, Mobius has a good figure and can show a rather sickly and virtuous side when necessary—although his domestic skills are practically nonexistent.
That's why Sakura felt that Aponia could push Mobius out of the picture.
Both have great figures, but their level of domesticity... well, Sakura thinks Aponia could easily beat ten Mobius, and her personality is also fine; she's clearly the kind of virtuous wife who would do anything for you.
Sakura has already felt the pressure, so now she's going to spread it to others. She's annoyed by how relaxed they are, and she wants to see them looking just as shocked as she is.
Of course, you can't say it so directly; you can only say, "Let me show you Moth Chasers to Fire."
Aponia was naturally unaware of Sakura's little schemes, while Pardo, with her pet-like mentality, completely failed to comprehend Sakura's sense of crisis.
As for the first stop... it's of course Mobius's laboratory.
Knock knock knock
Sakura, accompanied by Aponia, knocked on the door of Mobius's office.
"Where is this?" Aponia looked up, seemingly sensing the cold aura behind the door.
"Miss Mobius's office... which also serves as her laboratory."
"Mobius ...I've heard of her name." As someone concerned about the Honkai disease, Aponia, aside from other things, had heard of scholars like Mobius to some extent.
So Aponia's face showed a rare hint of anticipation.
"Come in!" A somewhat agitated female voice sounded from behind the door.
Sakura then led Aponia and Pardo through the door and saw Mobius looking gloomy and tired as he hunched over his desk, writing furiously.
Wait... what day is it today?
Sakura was shocked. Mobius was actually doing copywriting work? Wasn't this kind of work usually done by Klein or Blanca?
Sakura turned her head to look at the others.
Klein and Blanca both looked like they were about to die, and Danzhu Cangxuan seemed to have lost his mind from the look in his eyes, as if all he could do was babble.
I've only been gone for a week, how come the entire lab seems to have been wiped out?
Not to mention Sakura, even Aponia couldn't help but show a look of pity when she saw this scene.
This environment reminded her of the Dusk Alley she had just left...
This is truly... an unexpected sense of warmth.
"Ah... it's Sakura."
Mobius scratched his head somewhat agitatedly. "You're back? What's up?"
"Yes... no."
