Perhaps It's Anti-Entropy's Turn Next (Continued)

So now, when Asta looks at Liu Bai, it really is like looking at the Herta.

Especially since both of them are quite charming—especially Liu Bai, whose charm is off the charts.

However, Asta did not condone office romances, so she simply did not mention it, and she turned a blind eye to Liu Bai's private life.

No matter what, we can't let Liu Bai go out for a social event... although it's the kind of thing that seems more and more acceptable the more you think about it.

... Well, that's one of the differences between Liu Bai and Herta.

Herta dislikes idle chatter at all, but Liu Bai seems to enjoy it.

"Sure."

Liu Bai glanced at it again.

Hmm... there's a minor issue, but it's not a big problem.

Some of the positions assigned to people are not very suitable, but Asta can get to know them gradually.

Just as Asta thought, Liu Bai was really preparing to give up... cough cough, to lighten his load.

"Um... don't you think the various departments have a bit too much power? Hmm... I think it's best not to let personal feelings cloud your judgment when it comes to official matters."

Asta a tactful reminder.

Maintaining impartiality and integrity sounds simple, but it's quite difficult to do—especially since Asta, as the station chief, is most troubled by the conflicts between her staff.

The proposal is about to be approved, but she can't be happy.

"You mean fictional world?" Bai Nao wasn't stupid; he saw it at first glance, but he didn't see it as a problem.

"... I guess so." Bai's directness made Asta slightly embarrassed.

Have you ever tried building a fictional Herta?

"... Why would I want to sideline Ms. Herta?" Asta felt the urge to complain, but she held it back.

When she had money before, she didn't notice much, but now that she found that there were many fewer zeros in Liu Bai's account, Asta realized that she seemed to have been spending money on the Space Station all these years.

If we disregard the prestige boost from the Herta, its private collection, and the ongoing mysterious research, then the value of the Space Station itself... in Asta's eyes, is truly not that high.

"So that means it's possible?"

"... Ah, yes, but it's the Space Station that needs Ms. Herta, not Ms. Herta that needs the Space Station."

Of course she can! The only thing missing from Herta's list is having her reply to private emails.

But this is pointless.

"Yes, Asta, don't you understand the key point? The key point is who needs whom."

"... Is that so?" Asta nodded, seemingly understanding. "So... what does La Signora. Ruan Mei need from you? Funding?"

Asta stated that she would not comment on others.

But can't someone like Ruan Mei get along anywhere?

"...Niu Zi," Bai whispered.

"Huh?"

"Ahem, I meant personal relationship."

"... It's not good to be too focused on personal relationships... although I'm not really in a position to say that to you."

Asta seemed not to have heard clearly, and answered seriously with a hint of helplessness.

"So the others... at least a large portion of them were acting out of personal feelings?"

"Yes, but I don't think you need to worry too much about this, Asta." Bai thought for a moment, considering how to explain it to Asta. "Sometimes, personal relationships might be more reliable? Or you could choose to trust me?"

"... Your last sentence is indeed illogical and inexplicably persuasive."

Asta twirled her hair with her fingers.

"Then... shall we proceed according to this?"

"Okay, let's do it this way."

Liu Bai nodded. Asta was overthinking things, but it wasn't exactly bad news.

Liu Bai wasn't worried about his own group of people; management was done level by level—even though Liu Bai sometimes didn't really trust others when it came to serious matters.

Once Liu Bai has taken care of his own large group of people, the rest is up to them.

Liu Bai trusted these people's skills—in any case, Liu Bai indicated that he absolutely did not want to manage such a large organization from beginning to end.

Nobody does that, right?

"Miss Asta, this is what you have in your hand..."

"The future departmental assignments, is there anything you need, Miss Rita?"

"Well, I'd like to ask if you've considered Liu Bai's personal matters in this form."

"What personal question?"

Asta looked at Rita with some confusion.

"You mean the secretary?"

"Hmm... on a deeper level—for example, Maid Corps."

"—Huh?"

Asta's face showed a "What is this person saying?" expression.

"Shouldn't the BOSS be the one to find someone for this kind of thing?"

The cook, secretary, and driver Asta, all understood.

But maids... okay, I can understand one or two Asta, but what is this Maid Corps trying to do?!

So you're planning to use public funds to support yourself?

Would anyone in the company dare to do that?

"If you don't mind, we can discuss this in detail over here?"

"... Miss Rita is quite reckless too."

This was Asta's first thought after she went out.

I was convinced.

Well, Asta really couldn't resist the advantages of the Maid Corps —for example, newcomers who didn't feel a sense of belonging to the group could be thrown into the Maid Corps to experience Liu Bai's charm.

... It's really fucking awful.

Even considering my previous experience as a website administrator, this proposal is still an absolute rip-off.

The thought that this is actually feasible makes it even more ridiculous.

Especially...

"... Speaking of which, you must be joking! Dr. Ruan Mei and the BOSS actually have that kind of relationship!"

Asta recalled Liu Bai's earlier whispered complaints, and her eyes practically overflowed with gossip.

"Does Ms. Herta know about this? These two don't seem like they're making an official announcement at all!"

Asta was very excited—after all, gossip about geniuses is hard to come by.

Especially those with extremely high credibility.

Should I try to confirm this?

"...ah."

"What's wrong, Ruan Mei?" Mobius turned his head and glanced at Ruan Mei, who was shivering.

Their relationship is currently somewhere between good and bad.

Mobius didn't want to see Ruan Mei in bed, but he didn't deny that Ruan Mei had a certain degree of legitimacy.

As for Ruan Mei... when she's in bed, Ruan Mei isn't in the mood to pay attention to Mobius. At other times, she'll say a few words if she feels like it, depending on her mood.

Creating life in bed is more important than anything else.

"I suddenly have a bad feeling... By the way, what about the little girl you brought over this morning?"

"It might be lost."

Mobius didn't seem to care much.

That slutty, seductive woman, it's already a sign that Mobius didn't do anything to Vilvie, showing how much she valued her talent.

"Because he's younger than you?"

Ruan Mei, having nothing better to do, started talking about Mobius.

"Have those two gotten along better lately?" Planck asked Einstein, patting his chest.

"Obviously."

Einstein nonchalantly replenished his sugar levels.

"What do you think is the reason, little Lisser?"

Einstein's full name was Liesel Albert Einstein.

Therefore, Planck, as an elder who was almost like a mother to Einstein, usually called Einstein Liesel.

There is clearly only one answer.

Einstein yawned.

"I'm curious to see if Tesla and Edison's relationship will improve as well."

They both witnessed the opportunity that led to the improvement in their relationship.

The two of them had taken leave together the day before.

"I don't think their relationship is bad."

Planck glanced at Tesla and Edison, who were asleep in the chairs next to him.

"We should also take this opportunity to meet Liu Bai."

To be honest, although they had been there for a long time, they hadn't had much communication with Liu Bai.

After a brief exchange and a meeting, we began research.

... Although the previous meetings were quite enjoyable.

Now is the time to find an opportunity to maintain this relationship.

As an option, Liu Erbai Ling, one of the five people in the group, is now not doing well. She is the most distant Anti-Entropy Liu Liu Jiu Bai, and is neither here nor there.

"Our results this time should be presentable."

"I think Liu Bai might really like it."

Einstein glanced at the blueprints he had worked on all night.

Bio-Armor Gundam...

Although Edison thought it was a mess, Einstein liked it quite a bit.

The design incorporates parts of Chi You's remains as materials, Firefly's design, a small amount of biological technology support from Ruan Mei, and finally, Anti-Entropy's extensive Gundam design experience.

They produced this thing shown on the blueprint.

Anyway, it is theoretically feasible.

Next, find Liu Bai and Firefly, and you can get through them.

Well, this isn't a mass-produced machine; it's a custom-made machine for Firefly.

Although its absolute performance is not as good as Firefly's, it puts less strain on the body and is more adapted to the current Honkai environment of Earth.

If this project proceeds smoothly, it should be the pinnacle of mecha technology on this planet so far, in terms of Anti-Entropy... no, this is the best mecha technology ever made on this planet.
