Ling: Let Me Bring My Sister Along

"..."

This thing is way too girly.

"Um... I mean, you're the id, right?"

The question was repeated for the third time, and with Vil-V completely oblivious to it, even Liu Bai felt a bit embarrassed after he said it.

"..."

"..."

The two stared at each other for no apparent reason. The jealousy, arrogance, and emo in Vil-V's eyes slowly disappeared, replaced by embarrassment.

"You... um... you just asked this question?"

What do you think?

"Um, I... this... um, um... can't you just say it directly! Why do you keep saying things like 'Vil-V,' 'Vil-V,' who understands that? Aren't we all just 'Vil-V's'?"

After realizing she couldn't carve out a three-bedroom apartment with her toes, Vil-V decisively closed her eyes and started acting unreasonably.

"Ah... so that means the id."

Seeing Vil-V acting so unreasonably and coquettishly for the first time, Liu Bai was at a loss for how to start a conversation. He could only pretend not to hear anything and steer the topic in a normal direction, giving Vil-V a way out.

"Yes, of course!" Fortunately, Vil-V's brain hadn't been fried, and she immediately went along with it. "Is... is there a problem?"

"To be honest, I think the biggest problem is that you even showed up."

"Wow! You look down on people with social anxiety? I've also been learning interpersonal skills from the conductor, you know?" Vil-V said, hands on her hips, in an exaggerated tone—it seems she hasn't completely shaken off the awkwardness yet.

"Yes, yes, it's clear that it's been very effective."

Although Liu Bai's tone was perfunctory, he did agree with the matter, since his communication with Vil-V had not been hindered at all before he discovered his identity.

If it weren't for his misbehavior in his romantic relationship, Liu Bai would never have realized that Vil-V had changed partners.

"So, you didn't just come out to get some fresh air, did you?"

"I'm out here to work." At this point, Vil-V's expression suddenly turned blank. "The experts collapsed from exhaustion, so I'm the only one left to work."

Although she is a bit withdrawn, she still knows when not to slack off. When she found that the expert had collapsed from exhaustion, she immediately stepped in to take over the work.

Otherwise, no one will do this job. Other personalities really can't do the work of an expert. Personality arrangement is not something to be done casually.

Vil-V also felt pretty messed up; she never thought she'd have to run away to do work one day... What kind of situation is this?

"I'll go back after I finish my work."

"Oh."

"Wait, can't you try to stop me?" Vil-V stared wide-eyed at Liu Bai, who remained calm.

"You're not going to turn yourself in and go to jail, why should I stop you?" Liu Bai's lips twitched. Didn't you think you could run away anytime you wanted?

Under these circumstances, why would I try to keep you here?

If we really do it this way, the conductors will be switching personalities every day, and I'll have to try to keep them in countless ways every day. And some of these personalities want to get out but can't!

"... You don't have to be so straight-man about this kind of thing."

"I'll chat with you from now on, just remember to come when I call you."

"No! I won't come out!" Vil-V started sulking again.

"Alright, alright, if you don't want to come out, then don't," Liu Bai said soothingly. "Then I'll ask you something, and you can continue working."

"Ask... Oh, you mean to ask about Lovers and Extreme Evil?" Although Vil-V was very dissatisfied with Liu Bai's statement, she still realized what Liu Bai wanted to ask. "Don't ask, I've already put them together."

"..."

You can even mold this? Even though you're the main character, this way of playing is way too advanced!

"So, what did you mold it into?" Liu Bai asked with a hint of curiosity.

"Yandere." Vil-V replied expressionlessly. "To be honest, I initially wanted to create a strong older sister type of lover, how did it turn into a yandere? Lover + pride, the result is a yandere? I always feel that this synthesis formula is not quite right."

To reiterate, although "extremely evil" contains the word "evil," it does not inherently represent evil. Rather, it largely represents Vil-V's arrogance, extreme self-confidence, and haughtiness.

So, Vil-V put the two together to change her lover's simp-like style and turn him into a strong, mature woman. Yes, Vil-V herself couldn't quite accept her lover's simp-like style either.

The result... well, I did pinch him, but what does arrogance have to do with yandere?

"I think it's alright, maybe it's just extreme arrogance about my own feelings of admiration?"

"Holy crap, what you're saying makes so much sense!" Vil-V blurted out, completely losing her composure. "How do you know so much?!"

"... It's just experience, so why don't you initialize it instead of going through the trouble of suppressing it?"

"Because I can use her to flip the table in a pinch—this is also the first time I've discovered my potential to be a yandere."

"... So, will the yandere explode now?"

"No, I'm holding her down. Even if I explode, she can't explode. And as long as you don't have a body, it's unlikely she'll lose control."

"I see..."

Why do I get the feeling that you seem quite disappointed?

"That's not true."

Chapter 446 Bell: Bring My Sister Along to Play

"Sakura, take a look, this is the final solution."

In the office, Mei slammed a stack of documents onto Sakura's desk, looking utterly exhausted.

"By the way, you only need to look at the first one; the reports below are not for you."

Those were for Vil-V to see.

"..." Sakura silently picked up the document, quickly scanning the parts she could understand. "... Living God Key?"

"Yes, this is the only feasible, gentle, and trouble-free approach that we came up with after discussing it with that guy, Vil-V."

Mei pushed up her glasses.

"To turn that child, Rin, into a living God Key while preserving her consciousness—it sounds a bit sinister, but it's truly the best solution we've discussed."

The idea of a living God Key might sound sinister at first, but for Rin, it was as humane as could be.

"After becoming a living God Key, you can retain your consciousness. As for memories... that depends on luck. If you're lucky, she might still remember you. If you're unlucky... you can always become sisters again."

"..." Sakura fell into deep thought, "Will this process be painful?"

"No, for her, she's just taking a nap in a specially designed Stasis Pod," Mei explained earnestly.

"... I'll go ask Ling what she thinks."

After a brief silence, Sakura picked up the documents and left the office, returning to Rinna's bedroom, which had been converted into an observation room.

"Oh my! Gretel, your drawing skills are getting better and better!" Sakura exclaimed in surprise as soon as she entered the door.

Pushing open the door, Aponia and Gretel were sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Hey, sis, you're here!" Rin waved to Sakura when she saw her return.

"Yes, I'm back." Sakura nodded, then looked at Aponia and Gretel. "Good afternoon, Gretel- chan. Aponia, how is Rin doing?"

"Good afternoon, Sakura-neechan," Gretel replied softly as she scribbled on the drawing paper.

Aponia, on the other hand, seemed much calmer. "Xiaoling's condition has started to deteriorate significantly—for example, she can hear another voice in her mind saying very bad things."

"..." This situation made Sakura's expression freeze.

This is really not good news.

"Hehe, don't worry, sis, that sound isn't loud anymore... Hmm, let's guess what's in the document you're holding, sis? Mei's treatment plan?"

Ling revealed her usual energetic expression.

"No need to ask anymore, we agree!"

"Ring..." Sakura was slightly moved.

"Sis, don't make that face. Mei's plan is definitely reliable. If it's not, just go and whisper sweet nothings in Big Brother's ear." Ling chuckled. "Sister Aponia will help whisper sweet nothings too, right?"

"I... um." After a brief moment of distress, Aponia nodded, not denying the term "pillow talk."

"Then go and call Sister Pardo, Sister Eden, Sister Vil-V, and Sister Elysia to go and blow together, so that Sister Mei can never climb into Brother's bed again!"

"... You still have the mood to talk about this now, girl." Rin's nonsensical remark made Sakura, who had been in a bad mood, smile slightly.

"What do you mean you're in the mood to talk about this? This is a very serious matter! Sister, you have no idea how powerful pillow talk can be!"

Ling looked distressed. "Hey, with you like this, when will I ever get to hold my nephew? Sister Aponia, when you and my brother are having sex, please take my sister with you. Just once or twice is fine. Let my sister be a maid and eat some leftovers. This is my last wish."

"I... this... um, I understand." Aponia opened her mouth, but ultimately couldn't think of anything she could say, so she could only nod stiffly.

"Okay! Aponia! It's a deal! You have to take care of my older sister!" Rin made a pinky promise with Aponia very seriously. "Well, next we just need to say this to all the other older sisters, so that you can get all of them for free. If you can't get pregnant, we'll really look down on you."

Cherry. "..."

It was supposed to be a very melancholic and sad scene, so how did Ling manage to make it go so off-topic?

"By the way, Aunt Mobius must have some medicine to improve fertility, sis, you remember... never mind, when I tell Aunt Mobius my last wish, I'll ask you for a bottle for you too."

"I..." Sakura opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. She could only silently clutch the document and turn to leave.

After Sakura left, Gretel gave a strange look. "Rin-neechan... were you nervous?"

"I'm incredibly nervous!" Ling slowly exhaled.

"Then why not take a look at the plan?"

"I won't look! What if my other self gets on my guard? I absolutely won't look!" Rin said seriously to Gretel. "Whatever her plan is, I'm going to explode with my other self today!"

"..." A look of incomprehension appeared on Gretel's exquisite, expressionless face.

"Hey, don't make that face... Yeah, you're still young." Rin scratched her head. "Anyway, I'll agree to whatever plan it is. Although I really want to live, I can't drag others down with me just to live, right? If that happens, I'll end up fighting with my sister. I don't want my Herrscherization to kill my sister, and I don't want my sister to be devastated because she killed my Herrscherization. Whether it's for my sake or for everyone else's, I have no other choice."

Aponia reached out and patted Bell's head.

If it weren't for this child's constant incoherent speech, everyone would have almost forgotten that he's actually almost an adult and a sensible big kid.

"Ahem, Aponia- nee, don't rub my head, it makes me so embarrassed." Rin shyly turned her head away. "By the way, Gretel- chan, is oil painting all you can do?"

"A little bit of the others too," Gretel replied softly. "What would you like to see, Sister Rin?"

"Can you draw in a notebook?"

"...book?"

"Um... that's true, you don't understand this yet." Rin gave a subtle look, as if she was thinking about how to explain it to Gretel.

Aponia fell into deep thought again, wondering if she should stop the conversation.

"Why are you bringing up doujinshi?" Aponia thought about it for a while, but ultimately didn't directly stop the conversation.

"Because I feel like I'm unlikely to ever see my older sister and brother in bed together in my lifetime, I might as well read some doujinshi about them... Hmm, not necessarily human-to-human, human-to-ghost is actually pretty good too. By the way, I also want to read your Aponia, like the one about a noble nun being harassed by a ghost, her body gradually becoming more sensitive day by day, and finally, helpless..."

"Gretel is still here."

Aponia calmly but firmly stopped the conversation.

"I think I know where the darkness in your heart comes from."

"Eh?! Is 'sex' considered 'dark'?" Ling looked incredulous.

"Lust is one of humanity's original sins."

"Then you're the ones who's truly wicked, Sister Ming!" Rin said, hands on her hips, looking quite indignant. "Sister Aponia, can you honestly say you've never even considered sleeping with Brother?"

"I've thought about it, but I will repent to the gods."

"Bullshit! Sister Aponia, isn't your god still your brother? Are you sure you're really repenting? How are you repenting? You're not going to be repenting in front of your brother's wooden figurine 0721, are you?"

"... Ring, how come your thoughts jump around so much?"

"Whoa! Aponia, you didn't actually do that, did you?" Rin was a little confused by Aponia's evasive answer.

Aponia, you're the most normal person out there right now!

"No," Aponia denied outright. "It's just that calming desires is indeed something that requires a calm mind."

"Oh, so Aponia mean that whenever you feel incredibly hot, you sit quietly looking at the source of the heat and wait for it to subside naturally... Hmm, doesn't that sound more like the nun in the little book?"
