Aponia: Please Give Me a Chance

Kalpas was like a powder keg ignited by his words, his whole being bursting with rage.

"Malice? Bai Ge, do you even know what this woman has done to me! Ask her yourself and see how many rules she has imposed on me!"

"Many precepts? How many could there be?"

Bai Ge asked Aponia, who was supervising the children's meal not far away, and saw the latter raise a long, slender finger.

"Ten commandments? That's quite a lot."

"There are more than a hundred..."

Aponia corrected him expressionlessly, adding that she felt she hadn't planted many, but Bai Ge was completely astonished.

"Holy crap! You have even more disciplines than Seele! What did you plant, Nia?"

"It's nothing, it's just..."

Then Aponia took out a small notebook and recited all the precepts she had instilled in Kalpas Tribulations so far. Well, if she hadn't written them down in a small notebook, she herself wouldn't have been able to remember them clearly.

The more Bai Ge listened, the more she felt that it was really unfair for Kalpas to hate her. In fact, the fact that she hadn't been beaten yet made Bai Ge sigh, "Brother Jie is such a kind and gentle person."

Speak politely, apologize sincerely if you hurt someone, do not kill innocent people, read a book every week to cultivate your character, go to church to pray every three days, pick up litter, copy the Bai Sect Doctrine every day, and so on...

Bai Ge couldn't help but cover her face.

"Aponia, you are guilty!"

Judge Bai delivered a fair verdict.

"Huh?"

Aponia tilted her head in surprise.

"What are you so surprised about! This is going too far! No wonder Kalpas hates you, Nia. It's no wonder. Quickly lift the precepts for him."

Bai Ge raised his hand and tapped the big, ruthless moth that had no sense of propriety. Even if Kalpas was a ferocious dog, putting a hundred ropes on him was still going too far!

"But, if the precepts are broken, Kalpas..."

Aponia looked at Bai Ge hesitantly.

"This is my order, Nia."

"...yes."

Aponia felt an incredibly powerful binding force coursing through her entire body, as if her whole body was being tightened by an invisible golden chain. Even though her will wanted to struggle, her body obediently obeyed Bai Ge's commands.

She wasn't surprised, because no one knew what this was better than Aponia.

This is a precept, a lifelong precept she willingly planted in herself in the past: to forever obey Bai Ge's commands.

It can be said that as long as Bai Ge gives the order, Aponia can only become a puppet at his mercy, and even she herself cannot break this rule.

... half an hour later...

"Alright, all the precepts are lifted."

Aponia withdrew her hand from Kalpas's head with a look of regret, while Kalpas was overjoyed.

"Hahaha, good, good! I'm finally free! I don't have to follow any of those bullshit rules anymore! Bai Ge, I owe you a favor this time!!"

Kalpas clenched his fist, feeling the binding force that had been restraining him disappear, and burst into laughter that echoed throughout the entire street. He now really wanted to find Judgment-Class Honkai Beast to have a good fight and vent his ecstatic impulse.

"You're welcome, it's my duty, it was Nia's fault this time."

Bai Ge pinched Aponia's cheek as he spoke.

Having regained his freedom, Kalpas was eager to take revenge immediately.

But looking at Bai Ge holding Aponia in his arms, he made a very sensible decision to let it go. After all, the fact that the commandment was lifted already made him feel like he had made a huge profit today.

The three continued chatting and eating. Kalpas happily said that he would pay the bill today and generously ordered all the dishes on the menu.

Then Ling recovered from her drunken state.

Okay, this girl was actually awake a long time ago.

Ling knew she had done something terrible, so she kept her eyes closed and pretended to be asleep. However, Bai.

"Ring, as your brother-in-law and future family member, I am now going to punish you. Do you have anything to say?"

"Waaaaah~ Brother-in-law, I was wrong, please forgive me! I didn't mean it, please be magnanimous and forgive me this time. And please don't tell my sister about this."

"Don't worry, I wouldn't dare tell Sakura. And considering you did it while drunk, I won't punish you severely. But you still need to be taught a lesson for sneaking a drink!"

Bai Ge clenched his right hand, and his bones made a crisp sound. He looked at Ling with a dangerous smile, recalling his past memories of disciplining disobedient children in the Hearth Home.

"It's only natural that you should be punished for making a mistake."

"Waaaaah, no way~~!"

Then came the crisp, loud sound of slaps. Finally, after thirty slaps, the pink-haired little Fox Spirit deeply realized her mistake...

At least on the surface, that's how it appears.

(Ring: "Ouch, that hurts! Brother-in-law, you really don't hold back at all. Looks like I'll have to sleep on my stomach tonight. But... this is a win-win situation! I even made a killing!")

Ling, who was lying on the bench, quietly observed the White Youth.

Her snow-white hair was flawless, as if every strand was glowing; her perfect profile was like a work of art sculpted by the Gods; her eyes were as bright as gold; and she possessed an aura as radiant as the sun that illuminates all things.

"Slurp! This looks so delicious!" (￣￢￣)

Saliva involuntarily dribbled from Bell's mouth.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"Kalpas, can I talk to you about something?"

"No, get out."

Holding two bottles of baijiu and chugging them straight from his lips, Kalpas didn't even glance at Aponia. Today was a good day for him; first, he successfully built rapport with the children, then he lifted Aponia's restrictions, and...

He discovered that Bai Ge actually treated him like a brother (good money, good).

Kalpas felt that he was in a better mood than ever before.

So why bother with Aponia at a time like this? Isn't bothering her just asking for trouble?

"I want to discuss Bai Ge with you."

"... Tsk, just say what you have to say."

"Thank you, Kalpas. Can you tell me what kinds of things you boys like?"

Aponia asked with a serious expression.

"Huh? Aponia, have you got your head stuck in a door? What does this have to do with Bai Ge?"

Kalpas frowned slightly and said bluntly.

"..."

Aponia was silent for a moment, then the large, fluttering moth looked at the White Youth not far away, her eyes filled with an unmistakable longing and yearning.

"I want Bai Ge to fall completely in love with me, but... I don't know how to do it correctly, so I'd like to get some advice from you, after all, Kalpas, you are also a man."

"Hiss!! Whoosh~~"

Kalpas took a deep breath and tried his best to control the urge to punch. He felt that he had made a terrible mistake and should not have responded to the woman.

"Aponia, the moment you decided to ask me for advice, it already showed that you're really not smart enough. Do you think I can be compared to Bai Ge?"

"It seems... it really can't be..."

Aponia blinked, comparing the two in her mind, and realized that she might have indeed asked the wrong person for food.

"Hmph! Also, the moment you had the idea of making Bai Ge fall in love with you, you were already terribly wrong."

"Kalpas, why do you say that?"

"Is that even a question?"

Kalpas stared at her through the mask and said.

"Because of Aponia, you are not worthy at all."

Second update. Please give me flowers, votes, and tips.

Oh no, Star Iron 2.0 is likely to be fraught with danger. The screenwriter is Shaoji, the one who turned Elysian Realm into the Elysian Realm of the Dead.

"You want Bai Ge to fall in love with you? Hahaha—! Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous. This must be the most ridiculous thing you've ever said in your life, Aponia!"

Kalpas covered his face and stomach with his hands and burst into laughter.

He laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, Kalpas laughter filled with condescending sarcasm and disdain, and he spoke scathing words to the nun in front of him without any mercy.

"You are not worthy of Bai Ge, Aponia."

"... Kalpas, what you said is really going too far."

"Excessive? Humph! But that's the truth."

Kalpas looked at Aponia with contempt and mockery. Although his gaze was completely hidden by the mask and the latter could not see it, she could still feel the mad king's disdain.
