Chapter 329
"Yes," Li Pu said, arms crossed. "I know you, and I think I know a little more than you think I should."
"Vivian's friend?" Belldandy asked while treating Ying Yi.
"I'd say they're just acquaintances, right?" Li Pu thought for a moment and said, "As for friends, they're probably not really friends."
"Then why..." Belldandy seemed confused. If they were just acquaintances and not friends, why would this gentleman act this way? He didn't seem like just a simple friend. This white-haired gentleman had a deep obsession with Vivian.
"That's because..." Seele seemed to want to try to help Li Pu explain these things.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, she found that her voice was abruptly cut off, and she couldn't say anything.
'Is it coercion? It seems the coercion in this world is truly extraordinary; even Seele can't explain some things.' Li Pu thought to himself, 'In that case, I'll explain it myself.'
"This white-haired guy is called Kevin. As for this 'MEI'," Li Pu said, "It's the name of another identity I used in the human world. As for why he has such a strong obsession, my relationship with him... or rather, MEI's relationship with him, is that of lovers."
"Then, because of some things, we have been separated for many years, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's been tens of thousands of years."
Li Pu sighed. If you start counting from the last human era to now, it really has been tens of thousands of years.
"Huh? It's been that long?" Belldandy said in great surprise, "Can humans live this long?"
Although this was her first time in the human realm, Belldandy knew about human lifespans. Human lifespans were short, rarely exceeding a hundred years. Usually, it was around eighty years. So, could this human really live for tens of thousands of years?
"Human?" Li Pu waved his hand. "So you're underestimating this guy, Belldandy. Strictly speaking, he can no longer be considered human."
"You could say he can't be considered an ordinary human," Li Pu said. "You could consider Kevin a demigod or an artificial god."
"An artificial god?" Belldandy was even more astonished.
"Yes." Li Pu nodded, then pointed to Seele and said, "She can also be considered an artificial god, just not as powerful as Kevin."
"Speaking of which," Li Pu said, squatting down and pulling Kevin up from the ground, "How long can this guy sleep?"
"If he's just an ordinary human, he probably won't wake up until noon tomorrow," Belldandy said uncertainly. "But if it's really like Vivian said, he might wake up by noon today. He might even wake up sooner."
"Oh~" Li Pu estimated for a moment and said, "Then how about this, I'll go to school with you."
"Seele, you stay here and wait for Kevin to wake up."
"If he has calmed down, tell him I'm at Nekomi Institute of Technology. If he hasn't calmed down, don't say anything."
"If I find out he's acting crazy at school, then..."
We'll see!
Chapter 376 Cat Industry
Nekomi Institute of Technology, which is modeled after Waseda University, naturally shares many similarities with Waseda University. For example, Nekomi Institute of Technology is a top-tier university in the Kanto region.
As for the Li Pu, I don't know.
After all, while Waseda University does exist, Li Pu's story clearly has no connection to Waseda. As for Nekomi Institute of Technology, although it's the setting for My Goddess's story, it's only one of the settings, not the entire one. Moreover, the anime focuses on romance, and its portrayal of Nekomi Institute of Technology is perhaps less detailed than that of the Motor Vehicles Club within the institute.
Therefore, Li Pu was not very familiar with this place either.
If it weren't for Kevin's sudden arrival, she would probably be snuggled up in bed taking a nap right now.
"Ying Yi," Li Pu said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry about Kevin. I really didn't expect him to come here."
Kevin's situation was completely unexpected for Li Pu. If he were still in that world, he might have met Kevin. According to the plot, Kevin would eventually emerge from the Sea of Quantum trapped him. At that time, he would have to face Kevin, who could be both an asset and a threat to him.
Li Pu had thought about it, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly, let alone that they would meet in this world.
As for all the ridiculous things Kevin has done...
Li Pu could only offer a slight apology, after all, this whole thing started because of him. Ying Yi truly suffered an undeserved misfortune.
"Oh dear~ it's nothing." Ying Yi scratched her head and said with a silly smile, "It's nothing. It's just that Vivian, is it really okay to leave Kevin there alone? From what you said, you two haven't seen each other for tens of thousands of years, and he even thought you were dead."
While some things were indeed lies, these lies were only told because I had to circumvent those strange prohibitions, but overall they were still based on facts.
It was only slightly modified to make it look more reasonable... well, more reasonable and acceptable in this world.
"Thank you for understanding," Li Pu sighed. "But that Kevin ..."
"In his current state, there's no way to communicate with him. If he can't calm down or regain his normal thinking ability, nothing we say will be of any use." Li Pu asked helplessly, "Otherwise, what do you think you can reason with someone who's almost insane?"
"He won't admit anything except for stubbornly clinging to what he believes to be the truth."
Anyway, Kevin in that state just now didn't seem like a reasonable person at all.
"That's true, he doesn't seem like someone who can be reasoned with." Ying Yi talking. He just hoped Kevin would come to his senses. Not just wake up from a dream, but if he was still driven almost mad by an obsession like before, there really wouldn't be any way to reason with him.
"Indeed, if he can't reason with us after he wakes up," Li Pu said helplessly, "Then I'll have to resort to some special methods."
"Special methods?" Ying Yi asked curiously, "What special methods?"
"Persuade with reason." Li Pu said very seriously, "Persuade with reason from a physics perspective. Although I really don't want to, it's the only way if we really have to go this far. And personally, I think it's best not to do it this way, even though I am Goddess and Kevin can at most be considered a demigod."
"But I'm not sure I can beat him."
In the Honkai 3rd world, if we only consider combat power and not tactics, strategy, etc., Kevin does seem to be the ceiling of combat power in the Honkai world. Li Pu's current combat power might not be able to defeat Kevin in a fight.
Therefore, we should try to resolve this peacefully if possible, and only address the issue when peace is truly impossible.
"But I think Ying Yi, you'd better focus on the things at hand first." Li Pu patted Ying Yi on the shoulder and said, "Kevin's matter doesn't need your concern for now."
"What's happening right now?" Ying Yi. What was happening right now?
Because of Kevin, that ticking time bomb, Ying Yi hadn't really considered the immediate situation. They were at school, and according to Belldandy, Kevin might not wake up until noon. So what could possibly be happening right now?
"Sigh..." Li Pu said, seeing that Ying Yi seemed a little slow on the uptake, "One of the worst aspects of human nature."
"Envy."
"Huh?" Ying Yi only noticed after Li Pu spoke that there seemed to be a lot more boys around her, and their eyes seemed to be staring at her as if they wanted to devour her alive. He had been focused on Kevin, but Ying Yi's reminder made him notice the words he had been ignoring.
"They look like twins!" "They're so cute!" "But why is she with that guy Ying Yi?" "Hey, you over there, don't be with that guy Ying Yi."
Anyway, all sorts of things.
"Ying Yi- san." Belldandy, still naive and not attributing the reason for these words to herself, asked with apparent concern, "Why is everyone's attention here? Is there something bad about Mr. Ying Yi?"
"Hahaha~ Rather than saying it's me," Ying Yi said somewhat awkwardly, "It's more like Belldandy and Vivian."
The charm of Goddess...
The events at the academy continue, but at Honganji Temple...
Seele was drinking tea, waiting for someone to wake up.
"Ah... what a peaceful day." Seele sat leisurely in the courtyard. She had observed this world before. Although it also faced the threat of Honkai, the Honkai level in this world was clearly different from that of her own. It was practically the lowest Honkai level, with almost no impact.
However, for ordinary people, Honkai is like something out of myths and legends, and it almost never happens to them.
And those real-life Honkai happening around them will always be addressed by someone.
In this world, there God Race, death gods, and even Quincy among humans. Therefore, the ordinary people of this world are truly well protected by its powerful inhabitants.
"Mr. Kevin should be waking up soon, right?" Seele looked up at the sky, where the sun was gradually reaching its highest point.
According to what MEI's sister in this world said, he should be waking up soon, right?
Hopefully, Mr. Kevin won't go berserk again once he wakes up.
Otherwise, they might not even be able to go back to their own world.
Chapter 377 Demigod Simp
Ying Yi Alexander Genghis Khan.
If you have one Goddess by your side, that's already something to be envied and resentful about. If you have two Goddess by your side, people will feel more hatred than envy and resentment, and might even curse you to die instantly. And if the two Goddess by your side are twin sisters...
Jealousy can distort a person's appearance, make them lose their reason, and make Yingyi feel like Ying Yi was sitting on pins and needles.
"We live in a society governed by law now," Li Pu said, patting Ying Yi on the shoulder. "People still have some bottom line."
"Even so," Ying Yi said, shifting uncomfortably, "I still feel... the way my classmates stare at me is too..."
That's exciting!
Originally, Ying Yi unknown figure on campus. Under the guidance of the senior members of the motorcycle club, Ying Yi's Daimyo was known to everyone in the school.
It's just not a good reputation.
It was only because of the senior's bizarre behavior and his constant troublemaking that he had a bad reputation at school. In short, he was not popular with girls and was almost a laughing stock among the boys.
Now that he's surrounded by two twin Goddess, it's natural that a lot of people who think they're no less than him will be jealous.
"Don't worry, they won't do anything too outrageous," Li Pu said, as if to Ying Yi. "But as for pranks, I'm sure the people sitting in this classroom would be happy to see you make a fool of yourself."
Li Pu's words made Ying Yi feel even more uneasy, especially seeing the predatory looks in the eyes of the boys around her.
"Honestly, Vivian, don't scare Ying Yi- san." Belldandy, sitting to Ying Yi's left, said with a little dissatisfaction.
"If you want to wear the crown, you must first bear its weight." Li Pu shrugged indifferently and said, "Belldandy, you and I are here for him. You and I are standing behind him to help him. If he doesn't even have the courage to face difficulties, even if Ying Yi a nice guy, I will never look down on a coward."
"Ying Yi is not a coward," Belldandy tried to argue for Ying Yi.
"Go for it, Ying Yi." Li Pu patted Ying Yi on the back and said, "Even Belldandy thinks so highly of you. Since Belldandy thinks so highly of you, I think highly of you too."
"Ah..." Ying Yi. Although Vivian said that, Ying Yi still felt that Vivian was not really helping her.
On the contrary, they are fanning the flames.
"Speaking of which," Ying Yi said, glancing at Li Pu's outfit, "Vivian still planning to wear this outfit?"
It was Belldandy's God Race attire; Belldandy had already changed into a more ordinary dress. Only Li Pu was still wearing that outfit.
"This outfit isn't suitable for combat," Li Pu said, adjusting the hem of his clothes. "And, as for Belldandy's ability to change outfits in a second, I certainly don't know how."
"Huh?" Belldandy on the other side said in surprise, "Vivian doesn't know it? That's a very simple and basic spell."
"I..." Li Pu scratched his face sheepishly and said, "I'm battle-limited..."
Well, that really is a universal excuse. Theoretically, she should be able to, but in reality, she isn't. Li Pu really has no choice, and Belldandy didn't explain how to use this trick or what the key point was.
"But Belldandy ~" Li Pu changed the subject, after all, they were in the classroom.
Most of the students were already sitting next to them, so it wouldn't be good if any strange topics came up that were difficult for them to discuss.
"Going shopping for clothes is a great thing too~" Li Pu said, quite reluctantly. "It's one of the most common activities here. Want to try it out?"
"It just costs a little money~" Li Pu squinted at Ying Yi and said, "Ying Yi- san~ can you lend me a little money?"
The word "money!" immediately struck Ying Yi's weak spot. He really couldn't afford to buy clothes right now.
But he couldn't not answer, and looking around at his classmates, he knew they had all heard him and were staring at him like wolves.
They were very keen to embarrass themselves in front of Belldandy and Vivian.
"Um..." Ying Yi tried to stall and bluff her way out.
"Bang!" A loud slamming sound echoed as a voice, laced with arrogance and anxiety, rang out. "Only I am qualified to go shopping with MEI! Who do you think you are? If you dare agree, I'll throw you into the Sea of Quantum! And condemn you to eternal damnation!"
"Mr. Kevin!" Ying Yi knew who the voice belonged to without even thinking.
She had been worried about Kevin, but now Mr. Kevin was truly as adorable as a savior! This made Yingyi, who didn't want to appear too embarrassed in front of Belldandy but had to refuse Vivian, feel Ying Yi sense of salvation.
'You've finally arrived!' Ying Yi... wasn't about to cry.
It was Kevin who arrived. He had learned about Li Pu's situation from Seele after waking up and rushed over. Although he didn't seem to have completely calmed down, he was much better than when they first met, when he was almost going crazy.
He walked quickly to the row where Li Pu, Ying Yi, and Belldandy were sitting.
Looking at Ying Yi, who was sitting between Li Pu and Belldandy, with a cold and even obvious hostility, she said, "You really are greedy! You already have Belldandy, but you don't even plan to let go of my Mei?"
The atmosphere quickly became tense.
The boys in the class would definitely not admit Kevin's words, but they would still be happy to watch Kevin and Ying Yi fight to the death so that they could reap the benefits.
"Um...you..." Ying Yi could certainly feel the gazes of her classmates.
"Since you've asked so sincerely," Kevin proudly introduced himself, "I am the leader of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers of the 'Fire Moth,' the savior of humanity in the new era, the strongest warrior of mankind, the leader of the World Serpent, and also the only lover of MEI. My name is Kevin Kaslana!"
After Kevin introduced himself, everyone present fell into a mysterious silence.
"So she's a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer?" "It's quite a talent to be able to say such chuunibyou things so naturally." "That's almost embarrassing." "Does Vivian like chuunibyou?"
The room instantly became lively again.
