Chapter 82

"Because my wife is here," Siegfried said, hands in his pockets. "So I'll be here."

"Wife?" Raiden Ryoma said, somewhat surprised. "Isn't Cecilia already..."

"It's a long story..." Siegfried shook his head and said.

"It's hard to explain in a few words?" Raiden Ryoma felt a little strange, but suddenly seemed to understand something.

'Does this mean she's remarried?'

'And this guy showed up here...'

Raiden Ryoma suddenly asked, "Are you going to the lab too?"

"Yes," Siegfried said, "I'm going to see someone."

I recently heard that a new researcher has joined the team, and I think he's Mei's mother. This seems rather strange; Siegfried feels there's something odd about this whole situation.

'Speaking of...' Siegfried frowned, thinking, 'That guy...'

'Isn't Mei's mother this guy's wife?'

'Didn't his wife die?'

'Could it be...'

Chapter 110 Draw Your Sword, Brother!

'These two people?'

MEI adjusted her glasses.

This...

What happened?

MEI always felt that her IQ wasn't quite up to par...

How did Raiden Ryoma and Siegfried Kaslana end up together? How come these two are both in my lab at the same time? Their expressions suggest something's up...

MEI doesn't understand.

She's not a genius; she can't understand everything at once.

The expressions on Raiden Ryoma and Siegfried's faces were truly fascinating and subtle.

It feels like it should be mutual...

Wearing a green hat?

'Something doesn't feel right...' MEI felt something was dangerous.

'Why does it feel like we're both being cheated on?' Mei thought to herself. 'This doesn't feel right, does it? Siegfried shouldn't have noticed me, right? What is this feeling of us both being cheated on?'

MEI doesn't understand.

The two men's ideas were actually quite simple.

"Your wife?" The two men glanced at each other out of the corner of their eyes.

'Is this Siegfried's second wife?' Raiden Ryoma pondered this question, glancing at Siegfried out of the corner of his eye.

He has paid little attention to Siegfried since Siegfried retired.

So how did this guy manage to regain his strength, return to Schicksal, and ascend the Hyperion once again?

'Someone must be attracting him.' Raiden Ryoma was certain of his thoughts.

"And you just said it's a long story, I guess that woman is hard to pursue."

A woman who is very difficult to pursue.

Raiden Ryoma glanced at Siegfried, then looked at the woman.

'A woman who's hard to pursue?!' Raiden Ryoma was suddenly startled! This woman perfectly embodies that feeling! As a researcher, and judging from her demeanor just now, she seems to be a woman whose rationality outweighs her emotions. She certainly wouldn't be as difficult to pursue as an ordinary woman.

'So this guy is pursuing this woman?'

Raiden Ryoma sensed something was wrong.

It wasn't that he didn't want Siegfried to pursue this woman; he had no connection with women anyway. He didn't care who pursued him, but now he was suddenly a little worried. What if Siegfried couldn't win over the woman and instead went after Mei, who looked exactly like her?

This absolutely cannot happen!

Raiden Ryoma became serious.

Although this whole thing seems ridiculous, reality might be even more ridiculous! If it actually happens, then Raiden Ryoma definitely doesn't want a son like that!

This absolutely cannot happen!

Raiden Ryoma thought to himself, 'I have to make this guy give up!'

The best way to make him give up is to deprive him of the right to pursue women, regardless of whether they are his wife or not. That's it for now!

Raiden Ryoma made up his mind.

Moreover, from a selfish perspective, it would be unpleasant to see a woman who looks exactly like one's wife being pursued by someone else. Although theoretically there's nothing wrong with that...

But...

Raiden Ryoma touched his head.

It still feels a bit green!

Raiden Ryoma was sizing up Siegfried, Siegfried was also sizing up Raiden Ryoma.

He wasn't quite sure where this guy's hostility came from.

Is it because of Anti-Entropy and Schicksal?

This... shouldn't be right?

From some perspectives, while Schicksal and Anti-Entropy may have a grudge, from a personal standpoint, they harbor no hatred for each other. Besides, now is not the time for a bloodbath.

Surely he wouldn't hold a grudge against me?

Siegfried couldn't figure out what was going on.

I don't want to figure it out.

Because now there is someone who piques his curiosity even more standing in front of him.

Dr. Mei!

Siegfried pinched his chin as he examined the woman in the noodles.

This was their first formal meeting, Siegfried hadn't originally planned to come and see Dr. Mei. Having a researcher like her on board was perfectly normal; there was no need for him to concern himself with it.

But he still worried.

The reason is rather subtle.

It was that strange alcoholic beverage that Kiana brought back.

Kiana is a very outspoken and straightforward person. She has no sense of secrecy. The reason Siegfried was able to find out is simple: alcoholic beverages are relatively expensive.

Kiana's allowance was simply not enough for her to purchase in bulk.

So if she wanted to sell more, she had to ask her dad for pocket money.

Siegfried will give it, but he won't give it away completely for free.

It only takes a slight pause; just ask a question and everything will come out.

Siegfried was also a bit troubled by his daughter's strange hobby. But more than that, he was curious about Dr. Mei.

A PhD with no integrity.

Upon further investigation, Siegfried discovered even more suspicious points. For instance, she appeared precisely at the time when Li Pu was no longer present, and she sold more than just alcoholic beverages.

It's practically a sell-off!

This PhD student is a bit unconventional!

Siegfried didn't have very clear evidence, but this doctor's name was Mei. He didn't mention her full name, only the name on the list! And Mei's pinyin is MEI.

Siegfried remembered that Li Pu had once mentioned a man named MEI to him.

This person appeared in his ancestor's diary.

More importantly, MEI's appearance was very timely; she appeared and then Li Pu disappeared. And nobody knew where Li Pu went.

No one knew where Li Pu went, but she was very active.

This is a bit...

It's hard to say!

However, if it's MEI, then it's most likely Cecilia!

According to the formula that she is my wife in her past life, she is definitely my wife! Besides, the person who appears in my ancestral diary is a woman.

Then she is the wife of the Caslan family.

Generations have always been.

So Mei is also my wife!

Um.

This equation is perfect!

"You guys..." MEI pushed up his glasses and said, "What..."

He didn't finish speaking.

"Oh?!" Siegfried noticed the dishes and two bottles of wine first and said, "Wine and food? Looks like I've come at just the right time!"

Siegfried chuckled and said, "Mind it, President Raiden?"

"Don't ask me about this." Raiden Ryoma said expressionlessly, "The professor asked me to do this. If you want to ask, ask the professor."

Raiden Ryoma shifted the blame, even though he really didn't want Siegfried to stay.

"Oh, then it's alright." Siegfried readily pulled up a chair and sat down, saying, "We're all colleagues, so I'll just shamelessly ask for a free meal."

"What kind of wine is this?" Siegfried picked up the bottle and examined it carefully.

"This is... Kuchikamizake)?"

"Yes." MEI pushed up her glasses.

Now that Siegfried has seen through it, there's no point in hiding it anymore.

"The bottle in your hand is one I made."

MEI crossed her arms and said, "I made it myself."

"Are you planning to drink?"

Chapter 112 Temporary Teaching Assistant

MEI personally made the Kuchikamizake?

What is "Kuchikamizake"?

Siegfried might not have known what this was before, but after watching the movie "Who Are You?" from the Far East, he now knew what this so-called "Kuchikamizake" was.

Essentially, this is just a type of alcohol.

But the way this wine is made...

But there's just a tiny bit...

Hehe~

Okay, this bottle of wine is Siegfried's!

"I'll take this bottle." Raiden Ryoma pressed one hand against the bottle's neck and pulled it towards his chest. He knew what it was and that the wine had been spiked.

To be precise, this is not an added ingredient, but simply a necessary step.

And this material...
