The Green Snake Lady Awakens
The candlelight made Cecilia's cheeks blush, and her long, pure white hair shimmered.
Soon, plates of exquisite dishes were placed on the table.
"..."
Cecilia looked disappointed because she saw Bai Ge wipe his mask and then remove the mouth part, so she still couldn't see his face.
Bai smiled slyly. Of course, he wouldn't wear the mask forever. After all, one of the purposes of wearing a mask is to take it off at some point.
However, it is clear that the time has not yet come. He only intends to remove his mask at the highest climax and the crucial moment. As for whether Cecilia will fall in love with him at that time, that is not within Bai's consideration.
"Eat it while it's hot! As the saying goes, a discerning palate is a sign of wisdom. In this life, the only things we should not let down are good food and the people we love."
"Um, is this the original sentence?"
"No, but it makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?"
Bai Ge began to enjoy the meal and urged Cecilia to start using her knife and fork as well. Although he hadn't been in the kitchen for a while, he was still a chef.
Knowing that letting food get cold is a great disrespect to the chef.
"That's certainly true."
Cecilia then enjoyed her first-ever candlelight dinner, and the very first bite brightened her eyes, for it was something she had never tasted at Schicksal Headquarters.
The taste of the outside world.
"Bai Ge, I had so much fun today. Thank you for taking me to all sorts of shops. The clothes were beautiful, the flowers smelled wonderful, and the game consoles were so much fun... This was the happiest day of my life."
Cecilia smiled brightly, more beautiful than the dazzling fireworks in the night sky. Bai Ge smiled slightly as well, raising his hand to wipe the ketchup from the corner of her lips.
"I'm glad you're having fun. After all, my purpose in coming to this time and space was to give you more wonderful memories, so how about it? Do you want to continue this wonderful journey?"
"Huh?"
Cecilia was taken aback, not understanding what Bai Ge meant.
"Regarding the bet at the arcade, I hope you can stay with me for a few more days. The scenery around here is quite nice, and my subordinates will arrange everything for us, so... Cecilia, would you like to take a short trip with me?"
"!!!"
Cecilia was deeply moved; she had an urge to hold Bai Ge's hand and accept the invitation.
Today is the most wonderful and happiest day of her life. If only this happiness could be extended for a few more days...
Cecilia had considered the idea, but she immediately dismissed it, feeling it was far too extravagant and that she shouldn't be so greedy.
However, now that Bai Ge had actually extended an invitation to her, Cecilia couldn't help but wonder if she was dreaming.
Unfortunately, she couldn't accept this happiness.
"Cecilia, you cannot leave Schicksal."
"This is truly Miracle??? blood! With this blood, humanity can defeat the Honkai!"
"It's a pity the quantity is too small. We can't let her go out until the replication technology of the Holy Blood is completed."
Cecilia lowered her head and clenched her fists.
"I'm sorry... Bai Ge... I'm really sorry... I can't accept your invitation... I have to go back."
This body now belongs solely to her.
This body, imbued with holy blood, is, in the words of a certain fanboy, the embodiment of humanity's hope in defeating the Honkai. There is no one more noble in this world than her, and Cecilia Sanya should feel superior and proud of herself.
But if she could, Cecilia desperately hoped that the Holy Blood would not appear on her, because if she were just an ordinary Valkyrie, if she did not have the Holy Blood...
Now, should I accept Bai Ge's invitation?
"Hey~ to be honest, I'm a little hurt right now."
Bai Ge sighed and said, adjusting his mask.
"This is the first time I've been rejected by a girl two times in a row. Should I take off my mask after all? Wait, no, given your personality, it wouldn't make a difference even if I took off my mask."
"..."
Cecilia was speechless with disappointment; she felt as if she had just turned down the greatest opportunity of her life.
"Come here, Cecilia."
Bai Ge rested his chin on his hand and waved to her.
Cecilia was stunned for a moment, but she still obediently came to Bai Ge's side. Then, the next second, two hands pinched the sides of her cheeks and pulled her hard.
"Waaaaah, waaaah, Bai Ge..."
"Didn't you promise to grant me one request? I don't like girls who don't keep their promises."
"Yes, I'm sorry."
Cecilia felt even more upset at being disliked.
But then Bai Ge placed an hourglass in front of her.
"Then let's do this. At least until it's completely leaking, give me your time. That's my concession."
"..."
Cecilia looked at the hourglass on the table, wondering where Bai Ge had gotten it from. It was the same size as the vase on their table, and although the sand was falling very slowly.
But it seems it can only last for one day.
Cecilia hesitated at that moment.
Is a day long? No, not at all!
Today was so short that Cecilia felt like twelve hours had shrunk to one hour, so even if she agreed, it wouldn't matter since it was such a short time.
"Okay, I understand. My time will be in your hands, Bai Ge, until this hourglass ends."
"Very well, Cecilia, you said it yourself. The contract is in effect, and those who break their word should be punished by eating rocks... Or would it be better to punish them by giving birth?" Bai joked.
"Waaah, this, this isn't good enough."
Cecilia picked up the menu and covered her face. Naively, she didn't realize she had fallen into a trap and didn't notice that the sand was leaking out at a slower pace than before.
First update. Please give me flowers, votes, and tips.
Yay! Last night, Forest dreamt of piloting a mech, and it was Sam, so... alarm clock, you're really something!

Within the Eternal Paradise.
"Bai Bai, you're too slow! It's already dark outside!"
"Um, sorry, I accidentally went a little too far. By the way, isn't our Elysian Realm supposed to be free of night?"
He opened his arms and hugged Elysia. The Pink Fairy Lady was pouting, very dissatisfied that she hadn't seen Bai Ge for nine whole hours.
Elysia buried her beautiful face in Bai Ge's chest and inhaled, replenishing Bai Ge's depleted energy, just like a diver who had successfully replenished his oxygen supply and extended his life.
Bai Ge affectionately placed the gift in front of her.
"Hmm? Isn't this a souvenir sold only at amusement parks? Bai Bai, did you go to the amusement park today? Were you with Miss Cecilia?"
"Yeah, but without Aili by my side, the amusement park was more boring than I expected. But I also discovered other fun things. Cecilia is really good at video games, and she's even cuter than her future self. It's really interesting~"
At this moment, the white-haired Saintess was in a luxurious hotel inside the amusement park. After playing all day, Bai thought she should be asleep by now.
The two weren't close enough to sleep together yet, and Bai Ge hadn't forgotten that there was a Pink Fairy at home who couldn't get out of bed and was crying for food.
So after his date ended, he opened a portal and teleported back to Eternal Paradise.
Then Elysia was squatting at the castle gate.
It's like a cat that has finally waited for its owner to come home, and upon seeing him, immediately washes its face with face wash.
"Tell me about Bai Bai's story today."
"No way, Aili, I didn't do anything great today, like saving the world. Ugh, I even got my driver's license revoked."
"What's that? It sounds interesting!"
Elysia's eyes lit up after hearing this.
Bai Ge changed her position and picked up the Pink Fairy princess, while she also hooked her arm around the White Youth's neck, and then the two of them got intimate.
It had been so long since they last met that both Bai Ge and Elysia were now somewhat "starved" for each other. With the other person right in front of them in this state, how could they possibly resist the urge to "savor" each other?
Elysia had already wrapped Bai Ge hair around her neck like a scarf and was trying to give him a cute hairstyle.
Although Bai said he didn't want a cute hairstyle, since Elysia wanted to play around with it, he let her have it.
"My dear Bai Bai, just tell me! And to be honest, I don't want to hear your stories of saving the world anymore. I feel so sorry for you when I hear about all those messy things you did!"
"What I want to hear are lighthearted and cheerful stories, telling me about the fun places you went to today, the delicious food you ate, and then having a laugh. That would satisfy me."
Elysia cupped Bai Ge's cheeks and said.
All she wants now is for this person to live a normal, happy life. Bai Ge already has too much of that glory of saving the world.
Sometimes the Signet of Deliverance can also be a huge shackle. White Youth Elysia likes most is freedom, not having to burn herself up to become the sun that illuminates the world, but flying freely like a bird.
"Alright then, let me think about it. Today, I..."
Bai Ge tightened his embrace around her, and then shared all the memories he had shared with Cecilia that day with this Pink Fairy Lady.
