Giving Mei a Kurikara

So when Theresa saw her "best friend" doing all sorts of things to the sleeping Bai right in front of her, her brain couldn't handle the shock.

It crashed due to overload.

Theresa: (What did I just see? Cecilia did this and that to Bai Ge, how could this happen? She's such a pure person... I'm dreaming, I must be dreaming, sob sob sob, what a disaster day today is!)

"Hey~ you're still the same as always."

Fu Hua sighed helplessly.

Aside from anything harmful to Bai Ge, Misteln almost never harbors subjective hostility towards anyone, regardless of whether the other person is good or bad, ugly or beautiful.

Because she is Stigmata Spirit, she can treat almost all humans equally, without any favoritism.

It is precisely for this reason that Misteln was regarded as Saintess by many people in the Previous Civilization.

But...

As a close companion, Fu Hua is well aware of Misteln's bad habits. Even without malice, this somewhat naive and rational girl often does things that are troublesome.

Theresa is the best example right now.

The only person in the world who can control Misteln is Bai Ge, who is currently fast asleep and being constantly taken advantage of by her.

"Alright~ I'm satisfied for today. Now it's your turn. Good luck, Fu Hua," Misteln sincerely encouraged her.

Sometimes I really envy your personalities.

"Really? But I think your personality is much better than ours. Bai Ge should like someone as well-behaved and honest as you."

"Really?!"

Guess~

Misteln smiled and said, then waved and returned to Bai Ge's mental space.

"..."

Fu Hua's eyes twitched speechlessly. She felt like she had been tricked again and couldn't help but sigh once more. In fact, sometimes she had fantasized about another version of herself.

This is the complete opposite of my current personality; I am confident, cheerful, and even a bit flamboyant, and I do things in a straightforward manner.

(If I were like that, would I finally be able to say what I've always been too afraid to say to Bai Ge? Uh, what am I thinking? I'm neither Herrscher nor Vill-V, I don't have that kind of multiple personality. Don't think so much.)

Fu Hua shook her head to banish the "impossible" idea from her mind, and then turned her attention to Bai Ge.

She sat on the sofa, then carefully lifted the White Youth's head and placed it on her lap.

"Phew~"

Fu Hua breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away non-existent sweat from her forehead. It was such a simple act, yet it made her feel that it required more courage than fighting Apocalypse-Class Honkai Beast.

If it were anyone else at this moment, they would have already taken advantage of Bai's lack of vigilance and started doing whatever they wanted. However, as a conservative and honest person, Fu Hua said that she had done enough.

Just giving Bai Ge a lap pillow and being able to see his sleeping face made her feel content and even fulfilled, after all, this was her biggest progress in 50,000 years!

However, just as Fu Hua was about to enjoy this rare moment and relax her mind,

"Hmm? Hua, are you giving me a lap pillow?"

"Bai, Bai Ge, why are you awake?!"

At this moment, Fu Hua was so panicked that her heart was about to jump out of her chest. Looking at the White Youth who had already opened his eyes on her lap, she thought that her luck was as bad as ever.

How long has it been? Is my turn already coming to an end? This is an opportunity that only comes around once every fifty thousand years!

"Ahem, Mei and the others have something to do, so I just happened to be passing by and decided to take care of you for them. Now that you're awake, Bai Ge, I'll head back." Fu Hua said dejectedly, preparing to leave.

However, Bai Ge grabbed her arm.

"Hua, could you hold this position a little longer?"

"Huh?" Fu Hua was taken aback.

"This is the first time I've ever experienced Hua's lap pillow. Please let me enjoy it a little longer, just a little while!"

Bai Ge grasped Fu Hua's hand and pleaded, looking into those sincere and dazzling Golden Eyes. Not to mention that she already longed for it, she had no chance of refusing now.

"Okay, Bai Ge can use this pillow for as long as she wants."

"Hehe, thank you, Hua. You're so kind. By the way, Hua has already told everyone about my situation, right? I really look forward to meeting everyone again in this era."

"Yes, yes, I've already told everyone."

Fu Hua guiltily looked away. She could talk to enemies easily, but she was very bad at lying to her comrades.

Naturally, Bai Ge, who had surpassed Vill-V in the field of deception, immediately noticed Fu Hua's unnaturalness, but... he didn't suspect anything.

(Hmm? I have a feeling Hua is lying? Hmm, it's probably just my imagination. It's one thing for others, but how could an honest person like Ah Hua lie? I must have just woken up and misread it.)

He would rather doubt himself than doubt the person he trusts.

"... Bai Ge, can I ask you a question?" Fu Hua hesitated for a moment before finally asking.

"Of course, what does Hua want to know?"

"Well, it's nothing, I'm just a little curious about what kind of girl you like."

"... Uh, you're asking this now?"

Bai Ge was starting to doubt if she had misheard.

Why even ask what kind of girl you like? Aren't there already plenty of examples to compare yourself to? Immortal Crimson Crane, is there a deeper meaning behind your question?

On the other side Fu Hua regretted asking the question the moment it left her mouth. She thought to herself, "What kind of question is this? Just look at Elysia, Mei, and Eden and you'll know!"

Um, I don't really know either.

After all, there are too many types and too many attributes, making it impossible to specify what kind of girl a person will fall in love with.

"I used to be a bit picky about looks, but since you're all beautiful girls around me, I'm okay with it now as long as you're not too unattractive."

"Well, there are still appearance requirements..."

Fu Hua didn't expect Bai be so honest.

"As a normal man, is there anything wrong with liking pretty girls? But let me state upfront that I'm not the kind of person who'll just go for anyone as long as they're good-looking."

Bai Ge emphasized with a serious expression that in his eyes, love is a very sacred word, even a bit too much.

If there is even a hint of calculation of gain and loss, it is no longer pure; if there is even a hint of ugliness, it loses its right to be called love.

Perhaps it is not the same for others, but for Bai Ge, it is sacred, flawless, beautiful, and immaculate.

As for the result of pursuing this flawless love, it was Kiana, Elysia, Mei, and other girls who gathered around Bai Ge, proving that his pursuit was not wrong.

Bai Ge: "But it's actually not that complicated. The most important thing is just one point."

Fu Hua: "What is it? Please tell me!"

Bai Ge: "I like girls who make me feel happy and joyful when I'm with them. That's the most important thing. Everything else is just embellishment."

Fu Hua: "..."

That's a very typical answer for this person.

Fu Hua realized once again that the White Youth lying on her lap could be described as a "gourmet." Although he had extremely high standards for food, he was not picky at all and liked anything that was "delicious."

"By the way, I really enjoy being with Hua. I always feel so peaceful and at ease, without any worries. I become so Zen-like, ah, so peaceful~"

"I always thought you were the type to like dangerous assassins, Bai Ge, since you always act recklessly."

"Haha, I'm a very greedy person. I like both sides, but right now I prefer peace and quiet, after all, I just finished a super adventure."

As Bai Ge spoke, he stretched. Lately, all he wanted to do was stay in his dorm with the women of the Current Civilization until he could fill in all the loneliness he had felt over the past ten thousand years.

On the other side, Fu Hua showed a happy smile.

After hearing Bai say that he liked being with her, she felt a little giddy. It can only be said that unlike the insatiable Bai Ge, Fu Hua too easily satisfied.

After that, the two spent a peaceful time chatting, but to be honest... Bai Ge was a little disappointed.

(There was no confession, even though it was already so explicit. Does Hua really need more time? I was really looking forward to it when Misteln woke me up.)

· ······Requesting flowers····· ·

How could Bai Ge possibly eliminate the fatigue he had accumulated after sleeping for less than an hour? It was Misteln entered his dream and said that Fu Hua might confess to him that Bai Ge woke up.

Although he is someone who likes to confess his feelings, he also occasionally wants to be confessed to by a girl. In short, Fu Hua's various worries were unnecessary, as Bai Ge was already prepared to accept her.

(Hmm, maybe I need Xiaoshi to give a demonstration, but never mind, there's no rush~ there's plenty of time now.)

Bai Ge admitted that he had some bad intentions, but he was also a fun-loving person, and he wanted to see Fu Hua muster up courage for things outside of battle.

Several days passed after that.

Theresa realized with mixed feelings that things weren't so bad after all. Although the training grounds at the St. Freya Academy needed repairs every day, at least everyone was becoming more motivated.

Even Kiana, who is usually lazy, now stays after school every day to practice, striving to improve her strength in order to win the next love war.

Needless to say, the others were even more impressive, each one more so than the last.

Besides, although Misteln's misunderstanding was cleared up, Theresa still couldn't get back the Oath of Judas. It wasn't that Bai Ge didn't want to give it back, but that Judah didn't want her anymore.

Theresa, an epic nerf!

In addition, everyone noticed that since Bai Ge returned from the Previous Civilization, he has become quite clingy! He wants to stick to this person every moment of every day, 24 hours a day.
