You Have a New Job (Continued)
No wonder it's so soft.
Anqi's lips curled up slightly as she let out a long breath.
"Don't stay silent, tell me how you felt before, which place first went out of control?"
"Mobius, be gentle! Didn't you see that little Anqi just woke up? She should be given a warm hug or a loving kiss!"
"Shut up, this is none of your business, you fat woman!"
"Oh dear, my dear Mobius, I just wish you could be a little more frank. I don't know who it was, but the moment that power erupted, they grabbed little Anqi and held her tightly. We didn't even have time to react before we were running towards the hall with her!"
Elysia pinched Anqi's calf and gave her a look.
Anqi understood immediately and said:
"Thank you, Doctor."
"Hmph! They're just concerned about my experimental results, nothing more."
"I'm sorry, I failed."
"... It's alright. With so many extra things added, it's only natural that the first attempt to activate the Chimera Reaction will fail."
"But Kevin succeeded on his first try."
"Kevin is Kevin, and you are you. Besides, the original design was much more conservative. If Kevin had been in charge this time, he wouldn't have succeeded."
Mobius stated the facts objectively.
The original design was based on the idea of maximizing the success rate, while this one is designed with the extreme idea that life or death is not important. They are indeed very different.
So, I'm just telling the truth, I don't mean to comfort you, please don't misunderstand!
"Is there... anything else that's bothering you?"
"I'm fine, Doctor, it's just that I died a bit... and I'm very tired now."
"That's good... What I mean is, anyway, don't delay my next experiment!"
"No, thank you for your concern, Doctor."
"Who cares about you!?"
Mobius blushed.
Anqi smiled faintly. Because of her exhaustion, her usually aloof and expressionless eyes appeared unusually fragile, softening one's heart. Then, amidst Mobius's forced composure, she whispered:
"Doctor, it's better to be a little more frank sometimes. That's something important people taught me."
"Who's being dishonest!?"
"In short, although it failed, I know that the Doctor did something very, very remarkable. Thank you, Dr. Mobius."
"Sigh... You... it's good that you know."
Mobius let out a super cute groan, then turned his face away and tried to save face in a very low voice.
Anqi chuckled softly and nuzzled her head against Mobius's soft thigh.
"Doctor, we just received news that Herrscher has appeared outside."
Mobius, embarrassed and annoyed, and Elysia, who was watching the spectacle with amusement, simultaneously adopted serious expressions.
Anqi continued:
"The Herrscher of Ice and the Herrscher of Rock appeared simultaneously at opposite ends of the Star Sphere."
This caused both of their pupils to shrink.
In Previous Civilization, even a single Herrscher could bring about a world-ending crisis, causing countless tragedies and suffering; two...
"Isn't that extremely dangerous!?"
"It won't be that bad. Both Schicksal and Anti-Entropy are capable of handling it, and if not, there's Master and the others, as well as Kevin, Skyfire, and World Serpent. In short, it won't cause too much damage."
"Ha?"
Elysia blinked, bewildered.
Wouldn't two Herrscher cause enormous damage?
Elysia hopes that the Herrscher of the new era will possess human hearts, but she doesn't dare to expect that every one of them will be as adorable as Anqi. Furthermore, considering the perspective of the previous era, it's unimaginable what kind of combat power reserves would allow someone to draw the conclusion Anqi made.
Anqi closed her eyes, feeling the softness of Mobius and Elysia, and without offering any explanation, simply said slowly:
"Doctor, we need to speed things up. I still have a lot to do, and we can't stay at this pace forever."
"... if you can handle it."
"It's alright, Doctor, I'm very patient, I always have been."
"Cut!"
Mobius feigned disdain, but his hand gently stroked Anqi's hair. The touch was very light, as if he were handling an experiment she valued most carefully.
