"Then let me draw another picture for everyone."
"!!!"
Griseo's casual words made Bai Chen's heart suddenly race.
"Are you going to draw us into it?"
"Mm. After all, it's for you."
Chapter 59: Arriving One After Another
"But..."
Bai Chen was a little moved. He and Griseo were complete strangers; they had only met a few times, and he had never helped her.
To Griseo, he was clearly just a stranger, yet she could still sense his emotions and help him.
"I'll make it pretty."
Griseo raised the paintbrush in her hand and smiled confidently.
Infected by Griseo's innocence and kindness, Bai Chen hurriedly turned his head away. That kind of pure gaze was simply too much to face directly!
Thinking about how he had recently been frantically stealing his classmates' underwear for a mission, Bai Chen even felt a little guilty by comparison.
So Bai Chen hurriedly found an excuse to run off. Otherwise, he really might not be able to defend himself.
"Are you leaving tomorrow?"
Bai Chen continued chatting with Elysia about their later plans. When Elysia learned that they were leaving tomorrow, she showed obvious disappointment.
"Won't you stay and play for another couple of days? Our world is quite interesting, you know?"
Elysia tried to persuade Bai Chen and the others to stay. She rather liked the two children.
"My friends will worry, and Seele's sister has been waiting for her to come home."
When Bai Chen mentioned Bronya, Seele's ears immediately perked up in the distance.
"Hmph! Do you care that much about your Bronya sister?"
Black Seele muttered, and there seemed to be a hint of... jealousy in the air?
"No, it's just that we haven't seen Bronya for a long time."
Seele explained to Black Seele in her heart.
"That's only your Bronya sister."
Black Seele did not have much of an emotional bond with Bronya. Not long after her consciousness appeared, Seele had been swallowed by the Quantum Sea during an experiment.
Naturally, Bai Chen, who was talking with Elysia, knew nothing about what was happening on Seele's side. He was currently considering where to spend the night.
"Wow! Elysia, you brought back two kids you don't know from outside!"
Bai Chen suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder, as if someone had pounced onto him!
"Pardofelis, isn't calling it 'abducting' a bit too harsh?"
Elysia put her hands on her hips and pretended to be angry. But Bai Chen did not find that expression frightening at all; instead, he found Elysia like this rather cute.
Then Bai Chen turned around and looked. Sure enough, he saw the person standing behind him to the side.
Pardofelis! A catgirl with ears!
Strange. Shouldn't Pardofelis only have feline traits after undergoing modifications? Why did this Pardofelis have cat ears too?
At first, Bai Chen had thought this place was something like the Golden Courtyard World Bubble, but after being reminded by those cat ears, he felt that did not seem right.
After all, Jie Ge always wore his mask, Griseo was always barefoot, and upon closer inspection, even Elysia had pointed elf ears.
This world really was strange enough. He had even seen Otto at the beauty pageant...
But no matter what, this world would eventually sink into the Quantum Sea and disappear.
Thinking of that, Bai Chen felt a wave of sadness. Oh no! His bleeding heart was acting up again!
But it seemed he could not do anything about this sort of matter. Even if his bleeding heart truly acted up, all he could do was rage helplessly.
"Hello! I'm Pardofelis. You can call me Pardo!"
"Hello, Pardo. My name is Bai Chen."
Bai Chen shamelessly started pretending to be younger than he was.
"I was just wondering where they'll sleep tonight. How about we wait until Eden comes back and discuss it? Eden isn't working overtime today, anyway."
Elysia seemed to be seriously considering the matter.
"Huh? Their rooms weren't prepared?"
Pardofelis seemed rather surprised. If it were Elysia, shouldn't she have arranged rooms long ago? Were these two children actually some sort of unexpected situation?
"Why not use my room tonight? Mei has something going on tonight, and I need to keep her company."
Kevin, the considerate big brother who had been listening from the side, walked over and said.
"Oh? All right, then!"
When she heard that Kevin was going to accompany his girlfriend tonight, Elysia immediately wore a mischievous grin and accepted Kevin's suggestion.
"What about Seele?"
Bai Chen asked.
"Cute Seele can sleep with me tonight, of course! Don't worry, my bed is pretty big."
Elysia's schemes were practically audible from a street away.
"!? That pink woman is definitely plotting something against Seele!"
As soon as Black Seele heard Elysia's suggestion, she immediately resisted. That expression was far too familiar! That woman definitely had no good intentions!
As expected of the Elysian Realm's lesbian, she did not even bother hiding it?
"Then I'll go see how Jie Ge's cooking is coming along."
Pardofelis let go and headed toward the kitchen, but before she had taken two steps, a powerful hand grabbed one of her shoulders.
"Boss Kevin?"
Pardofelis looked guiltily at Kevin, who had grabbed her.
"It's fine, I wasn't trying to steal food."
"Pardofelis, you picked up something that doesn't belong to you."
Kevin's usually calm voice now turned as cold as winter.
"Uh... I did it by accident!"
Exposed, Pardofelis sweated profusely as she pulled a cool-looking purple wrist guard from inside her clothes. The familiar object made Bai Chen's eyelid twitch wildly.
Didn't he specifically make that model for showing off? Shouldn't it have been on his wrist the whole time? How had it ended up with Pardofelis?
No, was this Pardofelis born this way? Did she casually swipe anything belonging to children?
Cats were cute. Cats stealing his things were no longer so cute.
"Be more careful."
After taking back the wrist guard, Kevin handed it to Bai Chen and reminded him.
"Elysia, may I call you that? I never expected your apartment to be so full of hidden talents."
Bai Chen took back his things with dead-fish eyes and complained.
"Hahaha, that's what makes it fun when everyone is together."
Elysia was somewhat embarrassed by Bai Chen's words, but she did not scold Pardofelis on the spot and instead smoothed things over.
"Sorry, little brother Bai Chen. I thought that thing of yours looked interesting, and I couldn't resist reaching for it. I was originally going to play with it for a bit and secretly return it to you."
Having been caught red-handed, Pardofelis finally apologized.
"It's nothing rare, just a shell."
Bai Chen condensed a pink card in his hand, with Bronya printed on it. He was going to demonstrate how the thing worked on the spot.
"?"
Sharp-eyed Seele noticed something was off. Why was Bronya sister on that card?
"Transform!"
Armor Loadout · Comet Drive
Bai Chen directly transformed into Bronya's augmented Yamabuki form.
"Eh!!!!"
Seele's eyes widened like two lightbulbs as she watched the unbelievable scene unfold before her.
Chapter 60: Daily Life
"Wh-why? Bai Chen is Bronya sister?!"
After being severely shocked by the sight before her, Seele cried out. Her already insufficient brainpower seemed to have crashed completely.
So Bai Chen knowing Bronya sister meant that he was Bronya sister? Had Bronya sister gained the ability to turn into a boy?
"Idiot Seele, Bai Chen obviously transformed into Bronya. Don't get it backwards. Your Bronya sister's personality is clearly very different from his!"
After a brief moment of surprise, Black Seele came to her senses and reminded Seele, who was currently in the middle of a mental storm.
"Right, but why can Bai Chen turn into Bronya sister?"
Seele came to her senses after being prompted, but Bai Chen's transformation ability was still hard to accept! She had never heard of such a strange ability!
"W-wow! A transformation!"
Pardofelis watched the entire transformation process from up close. She was so startled that her fur stood on end, and she leaped onto the sofa like a real cat, hiding there with only half her head exposed as she stared at transformed Bai Chen in lingering fear.
"He turned into someone else!"
Although Pardofelis had been startled, she was still fascinated by the ability. So he could transform by using that kind of card together with the wrist guard? If she borrowed that thing, could she transform too?
The instant Bai Chen transformed, Elysia's eyes lit up. Her radar had reacted! The child before her had become a genuine beautiful girl!
Though the ability was unbelievable, it was simply wonderful!
But while Elysia was delighted, Kevin's face twisted the moment he saw Bai Chen transform.
Too strange!
Even Kevin, who had seen much of the world, could accept it... No! He could not accept it!
"Bai Chen, why don't you sleep with me tonight too? My bed is really big, anyway."
Elysia changed her mind. She wanted to thoroughly explore Bai Chen's secrets tonight.
"..."
The lesbian aura rushing at him made it difficult for Bai Chen to breathe. If he got on her bed tonight, whether he could leave tomorrow was uncertain.
"Elysia, don't scare the child."
Unable to watch any longer, Kevin reminded her.
"All right. It's just that Bai Chen, you're already cute enough, and you can even turn into other cute children. I'm really a little jealous."
Elysia gently stroked her cheek and said regretfully. If only she could spend a few more days with Bai Chen, she would definitely be able to trick him into her room.
"So what's the principle behind it? Bai Chen, can you... only turn into this Bronya?"
Naturally, Elysia became curious about Bai Chen's ability.
If those two science maniacs found out about this, they would definitely tie Bai Chen up and slice him apart, wouldn't they?
"I can't only turn into this form. I have many other transformations. Don't misunderstand, I can't only transform into women."
Bai Chen explained briefly. As for only being able to transform into women, he did not want that either. It was just that among the people he could currently come into contact with, the stronger ones were all women.
After some exploration, he had figured out that he either had to actively beat the other person into oblivion and merge her soul into a card, or make her feelings toward him reach their peak. Only after fulfilling one of those two conditions could he unlock their abilities.
