It's Finally Aponia's Turn!

Sakura felt it was best not to provoke Mobius, who might be experiencing some bipolar disorder.

It looks like things are in really bad shape.

"What kind of statement is that?" Mobius, whose expression had already darkened due to his mania, became even more somber. "I remember you went out when..."

Mobius's gaze shifted to Aponia.

Its snake-like pupils contracted, releasing a dark and dangerous aura, and its aggressive gaze brazenly "licked" Aponia's body.

Then, Mobius touched his chest.

"Hello, my Aponia." Aponia didn't seem to mind Mobius's gaze at all.

"Hello."

Mobius spat out two words through gritted teeth, while giving Sakura a vicious glare.

She's not stupid; how could she not understand what Sakura meant—you've gone a bit too far! Did you bring this person here specifically to provoke me?!

However... Mobius had to admit that he was indeed aroused; that chest... that butt... and that waist, those legs...

Click!

The fragile pen was completely unable to withstand the power of a Fusion Warrior.

"Miss Aponia... were you born on Dusk Alley?"

"That's right." Aponia nodded calmly.

"Let's open an investigation."

Mobius immediately spoke to Sakura with a look of certainty.

"To grow up to be this big in a slum like Dusk Alley, there's definitely something fishy going on with this guy!"

"... But Dr. Mobius, didn't you also lead a life of wandering before?"

Sakura retorted, "What right do you have to judge others? Even if you're framing someone, can't you at least come up with a plausible reason?"

"Figure..."

Aponia reached out and touched her chest, making it appear even larger.

Hey, wait a minute, is this person not wearing a bra?

Are you two very concerned about this?

Cherry. "..."

Mobius: "..."

The two were hit hard again, but seeing Aponia's reaction, Mobius suddenly realized something.

This guy's relationship with Liu Bai doesn't seem to be romantic? At least there's no hostility in his tone. Instead, he seems more like someone like Pardo who doesn't seem to have any sense of self?

—Nonsense! Back then, Liu Bai could only communicate through notes; they couldn't even talk. It would be strange if they developed feelings for each other!

However, Mobius was completely unaware of these things, but suddenly felt that the lewd nun in front of him was not a future enemy.

Realizing this, Mobius tidied his messy hair. "Of course I care, but... never mind, Sakura, should I kick you out or will you get out yourself?"

Damn rabbit, you actually came here to spread anxiety to me? Do you think I'd fall for your tricks?

However, looking at Aponia, whose figure completely overshadowed his own, Mobius really had no interest in chatting with her.

The absence of threats and compatibility are two different things.

I hate women with bigger breasts than me, and I discriminate against women with smaller breasts.

Mobius wore a sour expression, his words clearly written on his face, highlighting his double standards.

Sakura's lips twitched, and she decided to ignore the problem.

"Speaking of which, Doctor, what happened to you? And why do Danzhu Cangxuan all seem to have dementia?"

"That 'mei' thing keeps rejecting my proposal, the details... never mind, why would I tell you that?"

Mobius took the opportunity to criticize Sakura's intelligence.

"Yes, yes, I'm an idiot." Sakura helplessly raised her hands in surrender. "Then, Doctor, do you know where the head of the household is?"

"They teach next door."

Mobius gestured for Sakura to get lost.

"Get out of here with this filthy... cough cough, Aponia."

Aponia: "..."

Vulgar... Is Dr. Mobius referring to a vulgar nun?

Putting aside her own problems, Aponia's intelligence was also exceptionally high, so she immediately realized what Mobius had almost unconsciously said.

After following Sakura out of the office, Aponia asked with a hint of confusion, "Ms. Sakura, is everyone... very concerned about their figure?"

Aponia usually receives a lot of attention, but given the state of Dusk Alley, such things are bound to happen.

But... this is the Moth Chasers to Fire, the gathering place of elites.

It turns out that her close friend calls her "Big-breasted Nun".

The erudite Mobius almost blurted out "vulgar nun" in the news.

Although Aponia didn't care about this matter, she couldn't help but feel that something seemed wrong with the Moth Chasers to Fire in front of her.

Chapter 415 It's finally Aponia's turn!

"Has everyone... always been like this?"

Aponia didn't hide her confusion; perhaps because she felt Sakura was trustworthy, she directly voiced her doubts.

"You mean Dr. Mobius? No, no, no, Dr. Mobius doesn't do any work at all." Sakura had clearly misunderstood.

Well, it's not that Sakura's thoughts are particularly pure, but rather that body comparisons have become a daily occurrence. Especially for someone as aggressive as Mobius, is it really a problem for him to discriminate against others based on their body shape all the time?

Not at all?

Is it a problem that Mobius is acidic towards Eden and Elysia?

Of course not.

The problem is that Mobius is actually working today! Even Sakura knows that "Mobius working" is a rare event that only exists in legends.

"..."

Aponia's confusion deepened.

She was starting to wonder why Sakura's focus was on work. Just like that, her focus shouldn't have been on work at all.

Well, Aponia has also cleared up another mystery—it seems extremely rare for the Moth Chasers to Fire, or rather the outside world, to work to the point of looking like the miserable state of Dusk Alley.

However, her real question remained unanswered.

Why wasn't Sakura at all surprised by the conversation just now? Could it be that she's really become disconnected from the outside world? Is the gap between Dusk Alley and civilized society really that big?

Although she doesn't care about such a trivial matter, to be fair, this shouldn't be considered a normal social conversation, right?

Aponia fell into deep thought.

"Is there... a problem?"

Looking at Aponia, who seemed dissatisfied with her answer, Sakura couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Did I say something wrong?

"Well, okay, actually Dr. Mobius just isn't good at things like writing reports, but he can still do normal experiments. This ear on my head is Dr. Mobius's masterpiece."

Sakura thought for a moment and realized that what she said might indeed be somewhat imprecise, so she couldn't help but correct her.

Aponia's lips moved.

She really wanted to tell this Ms. Sakura that what she cared about wasn't Dr. Mobius's usual work routine, but rather the extraordinary amount of attention these people paid to body shape.

However, after thinking about it, Aponia felt that if she revealed her real problem, it might embarrass Miss Sakura.

Aponia, always understanding, would never put Sakura in a difficult situation.

Aponia then slowly nodded, indicating that she understood.

Let's leave it at that for now.

Knock knock knock.

Sakura knocked on the door next door.

"Please come in." This time, it was Liu Bai's voice that came from inside.

Upon hearing the sound, Aponia lowered her head as if sensing something.

"This is... the voice of Lord God."

Looking at the devout nun in front of her, who seemed to be praying, Sakura was unsure whether she should push the door open and enter.

Or... should we let Aponia finish praying first?

Just as Aponia doesn't understand the social habits of this group, Sakura also can't understand Aponia's attitude towards Liu Bai's faith.

To put it bluntly, given Liu Bai's approachable personality and handsome appearance, shouldn't he be the one to go into heat first?

Okay, Sakura admits she's a very tacky woman.

Think back to those days, how tough Sakura was! She called him "boss" and said, "It's just a work relationship. If you can give me a place to stay, I'll give you my life." She was definitely a cold-blooded samurai who endured humiliation for her sister.

Then, less than two years later, Sakura started calling him "boss" while secretly thinking about becoming his mistress.

Now, they don't even call me "boss" anymore, they just call me "the boss," what about superiors and subordinates, what about mistresses? Even if I have to compromise and not compete for the top five, I should at least be sixth, right? They've completely switched to a wife's mentality!

Sakura was puzzled as to why Aponia had become such a devout believer.

Incidentally, this is also why Eden felt that Aponia was very dangerous— Eden himself couldn't understand why Aponia would become a devout believer.

You don't have any estrogen?

Talking about hormones is a bit vulgar, but that's the essence of the problem! A perfect man with a good personality, strong abilities, and always by your side... Okay, even if he's a ghost, wouldn't anyone of that age have some lewd fantasies about Liu Bai?

Isn't this normal? Once you have fantasies, you'll definitely try to get closer to Liu Bai —after all, he's right beside you, so there's no option to stay away. Eventually, you'll end up in this quasi-romantic relationship with Liu Bai.

Even if Mei and Hua, those two students, have become like this, why the hell would you become a devout believer?

Eden thought about it and could only conclude that this nun dressed like a succubus was probably just using the guise of a devout believer to get pregnant.

What's wrong with judging others by your own standards? As long as it makes sense, you're not allowed to judge others by your own standards? It's as if everyone's life story is particularly different.

However, Sakura doesn't have Eden's divergent thinking, or rather, she has a particularly good mindset. She hasn't known Aponia for very long, and she only thinks that this nun might indeed be the purer type.

However, to be honest, this issue really boils down to the way people get along.

Currently, only two people call Liu Bai "Lord God": Otto and Aponia. Others, like Kallen or Elinor, are called that mostly because they follow Otto's example.

But in reality, Otto and Aponia don't have much in common.

Aponia calls Liu Bai the Lord God because there is no direct communication between them. Most of the time, Liu Bai is quite mysterious to Aponia, so Aponia is a devout believer.

The way Liu Bai and Otto interact is actually the same as the way Mobius, Einstein, and others interact—they can hear each other's voices but can't see each other.

This pattern doesn't actually affect social favorability anymore. Although being a "face-value enthusiast" is a normal aesthetic, pure face-value enthusiasts are ultimately a minority. More often, it's about inner qualities. And to put it bluntly, pure face-value enthusiasts usually end up in a bad situation...

Once you've established common ground, the issue of mutual liking becomes less of a concern.

Therefore, Otto and Aponia are two different things. Otto called Liu Bai not because Otto really believed in God, but because Liu Bai was the only person he could rely on. The title of "Lord God" was just a momentary whim of Otto's.

She was never licking the "Lord God," but only Liu Bai. This process was basically predetermined, Imaginary Archive at most just accelerated it a little.

If you were to call Otto a fanatic, there's some truth to it. She once wanted to play the faith game just to let the world know how great the person she was licking was, and to get the whole world to lick his boots... Just look at what this die-hard fanatic did, even a licking dog wouldn't do that.

This is why Otto's reaction wasn't intense when Otto saw Liu Bai with other women... well, even with Rita.

If Liu Bai had refused to admit his mistake back then, Otto would have stepped in to support Rita and even bit Mei...

However, Otto's so-called fanaticism actually contained obvious elements of infatuation, so it wouldn't be wrong to call him a simp. In fact, since Otto was not simping to a god, but to Liu Bai, Otto was even closer to a simp.

Therefore, Otto and Aponia are completely different.

The question is, why do these two people with different beliefs have such a big disagreement?

Personality is one aspect; Otto himself has the qualities of a loyal dog. On the other hand... it's about their way of getting along.
