Chapter Summaries

On Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Nai cooked dinner for everyone while the others joked about cooking mishaps, noodles, and Griseo’s growth. After the meal, Kiana and the other girls cornered Lin Nai before he could rest; in the Meta Domain, Kiana later baffled Bronya by playing cards in an impossible-looking way.

• Mobius asked about Lin Nai and Mei while the others recovered from the dangerous food, and Lin Nai volunteered to cook dinner with Wendy’s help.
• Chijie brought Lin Nai a fish to cook, while Su and Hen dragged Kevin away when he asked for another bowl of noodles.
• Mei and Pardofelis discussed Griseo’s growth and concluded that Fu Hua and Little Shix’s stature was not caused by time or Fusion Warrior surgery.

• In the Meta Domain, Kiana played a straight and a bomb after Bronya played a pair of threes, leaving Bronya frustrated and refusing to continue.

Sirin fretted over her terrible luck while the others waited for Lin Nai, and Little Shix absorbed memories altered by a future version of herself. Lin Nai returned with Wendy after suppressing the Wind Herrscher personality, though he realized too late that Wendy had taken the brunt of his punishment; Little Shix’s future self had also set a plan in motion against Fu Hua.

After Himeko and Wendy’s Herrscher Cores activated without serious problems, Lin Nai stayed at Anti-Entropy to monitor them and work on improving Seele’s transformation device. Little Shix asked him to make her a weapon and a new body, while Fu Hua reluctantly prepared to try a training exercise Lin Nai had devised.

• Lin Nai examined Himeko and Wendy after their Core activations, finding no second personality in Himeko and Wendy’s Herrscher personality merging with her own.
• Little Shix clung to Lin Nai and asked him to play, then requested a weapon and a body with a larger bust; Lin Nai agreed to make them.
• Lin Nai planned to refine Seele’s device because its Meta Domain transformation lasted only a little over an hour and its Herrscher power was too weak.

• Lin Nai handed Fu Hua a slip of paper for a training exercise, and she hesitantly agreed to try it.

• Theresa worried someone with bad intentions might steal Lin Nai's transformation device, and Lin Nai said nobody else could use it.
