Sleeping Sickness

"Eden ...yes, it's been so long since I've seen her."

Aponia naturally had no objection to the suggestion of meeting Eden. After all, among the Moth Chasers to Fire, besides Liu Bai, she only knew Eden, and they had a very good relationship.

"Let's go then. If nothing unexpected happens, Eden should be in his workshop right now... which is actually his tailor's room."

As Liu Bai spoke, he led Aponia and Sakura on a leisurely stroll.

Before long, the three arrived at Eden's studio.

Knock knock knock!

"Who is it?" Eden's voice came from behind the door.

"Me, Liu Bai, and Sakura and Aponia."

"Hey hey hey hey! My dear Liu Bai!"

Um... Elysia's voice?

"Please come in."

"No way, please come in!" While Eden's voice was calm and tinged with amusement, Elysia's voice betrayed a hint of panic. "Wait for me, I need to change!"

"Then I'll go open the door."

Eden could no longer hide the smile in his voice.

The next moment, a loud thud was heard from behind the door.

"This is really something to worry about... Is Aili changing clothes?" Sakura stroked her chin, then her figure seemed to disappear for a moment before returning. "Aili pinned Eden down... Even if she was just playing around, shouldn't we have stopped her?"

Sakura flashed in and out again, the time intervals were very short, but she was able to get a general idea of what was going on inside.

As for why it only flashes for a moment and then returns?

Well, rounding it off in an instant is equivalent to not having entered uninvited.

"Well... let's go in and take a look."

Liu Bai figured that the three of them weren't exactly outsiders, and they were quite interested in Elysia's current situation... After all, Elysia's predicament was truly a rare sight.

After receiving Liu Bai's approval, Ying pushed open the door. As soon as the door opened, everyone saw Elysia was only wearing a swimsuit, supporting herself with her hands on her back while pressing down on Eden.

"Aili, you've gotten heavier again, haven't you?" Eden, pinned beneath him, said calmly. "54.5? Have you been completely ignoring your weight lately? If you don't control it, you'll be sixty in no time."

"It's not 54.5!"

"You have to trust a fashion designer's professionalism."

"Why do fashion designers have to be so sensitive about weight?!" Elysia's face turned bright red.

"Because if it's reference data needed for designing clothes... It's okay, Aili, everyone here actually weighs more than you. Aponia, how much do you weigh?"

"... Sixty kilograms." After a brief silence, Aponia honestly answered her best friend's question.

If she had just Moth Chasers to Fire and been asked about her weight instead of being greeted upon meeting Eden, she might have been quite surprised. However, Aponia felt that she could probably keep up with the Moth Chasers to Fire's eccentricities by now.

"Sakura, what about you?"

"... You really know how to ask such an embarrassing question, 56 kilograms." Sakura sighed.

"I also weigh 58 kilograms... so there's absolutely no need for Aili to be so concerned about her weight."

"I can't get any comfort from you guys at all!" Elysia was fuming.

You guys have the nerve to say that? You're all about 10 centimeters taller than me on average, but your average weight isn't even 5 kilograms more. Are you guys crazy?!

Aside from Sakura who doesn't have ears, none of these people are shorter than 1.7 meters! She's only 1.63 meters tall!

"I can't get any comfort from Miss Eden either." Sakura was also quite annoyed. How could Eden only be 58? 58 kilograms for that size? Have you no shame!

And Aponia! It's not much better!

It's fair to say that neither of them has a single piece of flesh that's in the wrong place.

"Is this all the comfort you can get?"

Eden, still pinned down, smiled.

"What if I told you that Mobius and Aili weigh about the same?"

"Ha--?"

All the women present gasped in surprise, and even Liu Bai couldn't hide his astonishment upon hearing this.

With Mobius's physique, how could he weigh less than 55 kilograms? Where is justice? Where is the law?

Mobius is also a tall guy. Aponia is the tallest, Eden the second tallest, and Mobius the third tallest. The heights of these three people are exactly 175, 174, and 173.

And in terms of physique... Mobius is not much different from these two.

And you're telling us that guy's weight is under 55?

What's wrong with this world?

Not to mention Elysia, who had already broken down, even Sakura was starting to lose her composure. Although Aponia didn't care much about her figure, she still couldn't quite understand this fact.

"She definitely didn't pass. Last time she said it was 54.7, so it should actually be close to that..."

Elysia stood up in astonishment, and Eden slowly stood up as well.

"Well... Mobius probably a bit more delicate and frail than you might imagine."

"... Why can't it be technology and grueling work?"

Sakura was the most depressed person among them. After all, if it weren't for Mobius, she, Eden, and Aponia would at most be considered stepping stones.

Now that Mobius's stats are out, he's better physique and taller than me... Where's the report button in this garbage reality?!

"Don't even think about it. Mobius can be crazy at times, but he wouldn't do something like this to himself. How about that, scared yet?"

"Dr. Mobius has been working through the night these past few days, so maybe his condition has improved a bit," Sakura said, revealing another fact that left Aili feeling somewhat hopeless.

"I already want to have hot pot, beer, and barbecue with Mobius every day."

Elysia had an expression that said she had burned out completely.

Who would have thought that the real class enemy was right beside him?

Liu Bai looked at the burned-out Elysia with a strange expression on his face.

If Mobius knew how much of a blow she had dealt to Elysia, he might be very happy, right?

However, Mobius was not actually that sensitive to weight; after all, for a biologist like Mobius, a healthy weight was all that mattered.

She couldn't care less what kind of trouble these people would cause over a few kilograms of meat that were barely noticeable—unless, of course, they were just teasing Elysia.

Mobius's desire to attack Elysia was as strong as the intimacy between the two.

"Aili, your swimsuit is about to fall off."

"Hey hey hey!" Liu Bai's reminder snapped Elysia out of her daze, and she quickly pulled down her swimsuit.

"Let's put the weight topic aside for now. What were you two up to before?"

Although Liu Bai could roughly understand why girls cared about their weight, he couldn't truly empathize with them. After all, whether it was 100 pounds, 110 pounds, or even 120 pounds, it wasn't a sensitive point for most men.

For men, regardless of gender, as long as their physique is fine, weight is always the last thing to consider...

"Aili asked me to make her a cute swimsuit, but as you can see, Aili lied about the measurements, so the swimsuit doesn't fit." Eden looked on with amusement.

She had never made clothes for outsiders before, and she thought she would never experience the kind of blunders that other designers would laugh at in her life, but now Aili has offered herself up.

Aili held up her swimsuit, tilted her head back, and pretended to be dead.

So Eden was in a very good mood, and then he looked at Aponia and said, "Long time no see, Aponia... Would you like me to make you a new nun's habit? Yours is all washed out."

"If it won't cause you any trouble."

Aponia didn't stand on ceremony with Eden. "Shall we take the measurements now?"

"No, no need, I think I know." Eden wouldn't choose to discourage himself. Knowing his weight and estimating it visually, Eden didn't need to take detailed measurements.

Moreover, nun's habit is loose-fitting clothing...

"By the way, you wouldn't mind if I made a few minor modifications?" Eden looked Aponia up and down.

While Eden found this captivating charm challenging, he also felt a desire to highlight it even more prominently.

"As long as it's not too excessive," Aponia replied slowly, nodding.

"I was saying... how about you do some work, Eden, and design a new uniform for the Moth Chasers to Fire team?" Elysia suddenly spoke up at this moment.

To erase the traces of a former Moth Chasers to Fire, changing into a new uniform is a simple yet effective method.

"Swimsuit? Or maid outfit? Don't lie about the data."

"...I'm talking about proper uniforms." Elysia gave a subtle look. "But of course, it would be best if they were a little cute!"

"Seriously... it's a minor issue." Eden, having regained his senses, looked completely unconcerned.

Since it's just a design, producing a mass-producible uniform is no challenge for Eden.

"But Aili, are you going to keep holding onto your swimsuit?" Eden looked at Elysia with a half-smile. "Weren't you in a hurry to change before? Why aren't you changing now? Is it because the head of the household is here?"

"... Eden, you have a terrible side to your personality too."

"It was just a friendly reminder between friends, Aili."

Chapter 419 Sleeping Sickness

"Aili, why are you looking at me like that?"

After cleaning himself up, Mobius looked at Elysia, who was staring at him, with a puzzled expression.

"Do I have flowers growing on my face like Liu Bai?"

Although Mobius had a cold expression, she was actually a little embarrassed by Elysia's constant staring.

And what's more, this guy's gaze was a bit strange...

"No, not really... I mean, Doctor, how about we go get some hamburgers tonight?" Elysia rested her chin on her hand, a lively smile on her face.

"You'll get fat."

Although Mobius was a little puzzled as to why Elysia had suddenly become interested in hamburgers, he still kindly reminded her.

After all, she had been in charge of Elysia's physical examinations and had kept clear records of Elysia's weight gain.

"You never control your sweet tooth, and now you're going to eat a calorie bomb like a hamburger... I don't really care, but are you sure you want to go?"

"..."

Damn it, I was accidentally hurt.

Elysia's eyelids twitched.

"How about barbecue?"

"It's a bit more tempting than a hamburger, but isn't it even less healthy?" Mobius tilted his head. "Aili, what's wrong with you today? Or do you need brain surgery to check your brain?"

"I really wanted to go out for a meal with you, Doctor! How can you be so disrespectful to me?" Elysia pouted and started acting cute.

Although Mobius said he wouldn't buy into it, he was actually still affected, so Aili decisively chose to act cute.

"No, it's just that you seem a bit strange today... As for food, I'm fine with anything."

Mobius didn't care about such trivial things as what he ate—as long as it wasn't food made by Mei.

"Normally, you would invite everyone to eat together, right? It's strange that you only invited me today."

"Is it so strange to want to have a meal with you, Doctor, just the two of you!?"

"It's strange, and it gets even stranger when you start explaining."

Mobius nodded very frankly.

Although there was nothing wrong with this statement, Mobius's strange feeling grew stronger and stronger.

She always felt that her very annoying best friend was plotting some kind of scheme.

"You didn't get into some trouble, did you? Like, spilled some reagent in my lab that you don't recognize?"

"I would never do such a thing!"

Elysia waved her hand angrily.
