The Robin Who Wants to Become Family with Kevin

I suddenly remembered some ideals that I had long since forgotten as I grew up, and realized that I actually seem to have a chance to achieve them, so I naturally got excited.

To draw an analogy... it's like how you girls dreamed of becoming magical girls when you were little, then grew up and realized there are no magical girls in the world, but suddenly discovered that you really are a magical girl...

No, that's not right either. Eden, perhaps you didn't have this hobby when you were a child?

"How could that be, Y... Although I'm dedicated to art, it doesn't mean I'm completely disconnected from ordinary people..."

Eden, who almost gave himself away, quickly changed his story, even going so far as to reveal information to divert Gwen's attention.

"And... actually, when I was little, I also longed for those beautiful female warriors in anime who wore pretty dresses and fought evil, although I wasn't that excited when I found out I actually had that ability..."

Cough cough...

This is a secret, don't tell anyone!

"?"

Although no characters were visible in the dialogue, the lighthearted tone and familiar vocabulary gave Gwen a strange sense of déjà vu.

"I feel like I've heard this kind of thing somewhere before..."

Having already set a goal in mind, Gwen didn't expose it directly. Instead, he temporarily put aside his thoughts and continued his chat with his second Netizen.

After all, unlike Cocolia Rand and Seele, who could be contacted anytime except when sleeping, this Netizen, who was basically certain to be at least a scholar, seemed to Gwen to be a bit too self-protective. That sense of crisis that Gwen found somewhat familiar made Gwen talk to her as enthusiastically as he had ever done before.

Meanwhile, the Robin in the Epsilon Galaxy was deep in thought.

Although there are many flaws and errors in Gwen's summary of what he learned from his meager political lessons, the Robin with Gwen, and his mind was clearly not on that.

On the contrary, the Robin tries hard to recall the past ten years of its life, finding all the words and things it couldn't understand and incorporating them into the narrative.

Soon, the Robin found that he could understand some of the things he couldn't understand before, and he also began to understand some of the things his adoptive father and brother did that he couldn't understand before.

Moreover, as the Robin pondered Gwen's words, it seemed as if the great being in the symphony was smiling at it.

However, the Robin had no interest in whether it had truly gained Xipe's attention, nor did it care whether the power of synergy within it had increased again.

At this moment, the Robin's attention was completely drawn to the many new problems arising from Gwen's words—

Gwen's skills are far from sufficient to address all problems.

Moreover, the Robin's experiences led her to some questions that Gwen had never even considered, despite his own learning.

Gwen didn't seem to care about the Robin's prolonged silence.

Although Gwen's meager theoretical knowledge was almost easily refuted due to the excessive padding in the corresponding courses, this did not prevent those who had never encountered this theory from pondering it deeply.

Whether accepted, praised, or despised, viewed as a venomous snake, all discerning people will recognize its extraordinary nature.

If the other party is someone who hates you so much and refuses to speak to you forever just because you've had a little exposure to related theories, then Gwen probably wouldn't get along with that person either.

But if this makes the other person eager to learn...

Meanwhile, having slowly walked back to her boudoir, back in her most familiar surroundings, Ruan Mei suddenly realized that she might have talked to Gwen too much and chose to end the conversation—

"Hmm... it's almost lunchtime. I'm planning to make some plum blossom cakes for afternoon tea myself. Would you like to try some?"

"Did you make the pastries yourself?"

Then I'll wait and see.

Seeing that the other party intended to end the conversation, Gwen didn't press the matter.

The progress we've made today is already quite remarkable; pushing too hard would only make things worse.

After a few pleasantries, the completely unexpected conversation ended. Ruan Mei sat on the bed, but showed no interest in lunch as Gwen had suggested. A strange glint appeared in her usually calm and wise eyes—

How long has it been since we had such a free-flowing chat?

It seems that... after her grandmother left, Ah Ruan, who knew that stopping would bring forgiveness but would not stop, rarely did that kind of thing after she "grew up".

Even when facing their parents, well-behaved children need to be mindful of their words and actions, and act obediently and sensibly.

Looking back now, Ruan Mei feels as if she has lived through another world. Her once calm heart is now rippled with waves that are hard to calm for a long time.

Meanwhile, in a conference room on the Hyperion, Gwen's ears had quietly drifted away from Theresa and Otto's cheerful conversation—

Noticing Gwen's actions, Theresa assumed he was just tired and promptly ended the call, leaving Gwen with a quiet place to rest.

Having just finished a long chat with his second Netizen, Gwen stretched his body and prepared to carefully check his condition.

After all, it was previously the energy source of the Absolut clan, the Mind Cube, and it also unexpectedly fused with Apollo's body, unlocking the Gene Lock.

Gwen now even questioning what his race should be.

Ultimate Lifeform, a warrior of the Absolutian?

Shipwrecked Han?

Machine man?

Or perhaps they are still human, just a little different?

However, just as Gwen was about to glance at his attribute panel, his gaze was involuntarily drawn to a change that was taking place—

That was his friends list, from top to bottom: Cocolia Rand, Blank, and Seele.

In the fourth position, the portrait that should have been blank was instead obscured by a cluster of flowing light.

A moment later, the light faded, and the previously blank portrait disappeared, replaced by an portrait that gave Gwen a strange sense of déjà vu.

He's seen plenty of silver-haired Gwen now, and he's also seen quite a few silver-haired characters in his memory.

But she had a ring on her head and small wing-like decorations behind her ears...

No, it should be called an organ called the ear filament—

Jailbird!

Almost instantly, Gwen found a matching image in his mind and confirmed the other person's identity.

The other person's changing nickname confirmed Gwen's suspicions.

"New Singer Robin"

Chapter 246 The Robin Who Wanted to Become Gwen's Family

The Robin, nicknamed "Jailbird," is not because this elegant and composed young woman almost went to jail, but because she was killed off in the Penacony's storyline.

Moreover, it also originates from the Honkai worldview.

Looking at the profile pictures of his four friends, Gwen suddenly noticed a blind spot—

"Cocolia Rand, Seele, the Robin..."

Is this crappy system only capable of pulling people from the Honkai universe?

The shop clearly has a bunch of items from other universes, but when I try to invite people, I can only invite people from my own universe...

If that's really the case, then if you want to obtain power outside of the world's established framework, you'll probably have to try buying it from the in-game store, and even then, there are basically no accompanying resources; you can only rely on luck and buy whatever appears in the refresh..."

While complaining that the system didn't even bring in someone from another universe, Gwen also had some doubts in his heart—

Although the Robin doesn't have many scenes in the whole story, in Gwen's memory, he is a man of principle. Even when he was anxious after something happened, he would change into casual clothes when he met the protagonist, showing that he was not the kind of person who acted rashly.

In Gwen's mind, someone with this kind of personality shouldn't have accepted a system that explicitly stated Soul Binding so quickly.

But now, that's Robin is doing.

"So...

The Robin is still in a dazed period, not yet facing the iron fist of reality.

Or was it... caused by what I just said?

Gwen stared at the image of the girl with pure white ear feathers, pondering why she had so readily bound herself to the system.

Just as Gwen was pondering this, an unread message notification appeared next to the Robin's avatar.

Seeing this, Gwen was not surprised. He temporarily stopped what he was doing and started chatting with the Robin.

"I'm sorry, but as a singer, I'm inevitably under public scrutiny, so I was somewhat wary of sudden Invitation Letter and tested the waters in previous communications."

With your discerning eye and insight, you are certainly not one of those who would stop at nothing to get the news.

Please forgive my previous offense.

Following the sincere apology was a photo of a Halovian girl in casual clothes bowing earnestly.

His earlier doubts were instantly resolved. Seeing the girl's sincere apology, Gwen, who already had a considerable tolerance for her probing, naturally wouldn't press the matter further and quickly replied:

"It's okay. If we switched positions, I would only test you more."

"My name is Robin, as your nickname suggests, I'm a rising star singer, currently performing a benefit concert in a star system called Epsilon— "

Having received Gwen's reply quickly, the Robin, who had been worried, breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't relax. Instead, he hurriedly began introducing himself.

"As I said before, there is constant war and conflict here. The planets and even the different countries and forces on each planet are constantly fighting each other. The shadow of war hangs over the entire galaxy, and the people here suffer greatly from the war."

"I see--

"No need to address me as 'Sir,' Miss Robin, just call me by my first name Gwen."

Since the other party had been so frank, Gwen naturally had no reason to hide anything anymore and also gave his name.

"Yes, Gwen."

Seeing that Gwen, like himself, had moved past the initial probing, the Robin relaxed a little more.

The Robin had been sitting upright in the chair with some tension, relaxed a little. Its toes, which had been slightly curled up due to tension, unfurled, like a flower gently unfolding its petals.

However, although its worries were relieved, the Robin's expression became even more serious as it carefully considered its words—

"According to what you just said, Gwen, to resolve the war here, we need to conduct a thorough investigation."

If I were to do this, do you have any experience to share, or are there any points to note that I should be aware of?

Realizing that Gwen's previous theories might be beneficial to resolving the war here, or even the development of the family, Robin naturally wanted to make Gwen a member of the family, speaking with a hint of caution.

"..."

Upon hearing the Robin's words, Gwen's brow twitched involuntarily.

Although it has been confirmed that the Robin's Soul Binding to the system largely because of the words he uttered on a whim.

But when he actually saw the Robin start asking how to conduct a grassroots survey, Gwen was still somewhat surprised, in every sense of the word.

After a moment's thought, Gwen asked a question—

"Miss Robin, are you sure that as a singer performing at a charity event, you can go deep into the grassroots to conduct research?"

Or rather, even if you were willing, would your company or family members be willing to let you do this?

It wasn't that Gwen looked down on Robin; he simply thought it was a pipe dream for a big star from out of town to do grassroots research.

"Ah, of course not, please don't misunderstand..."

Upon hearing Gwen's question, the Robin's toes, which had just stretched out, curled up again, its small, delicate toes pressed together, looking exceptionally adorable.

"Of course I am well aware that my current position is not suitable for conducting in-depth investigations at the grassroots level."

However, my identity is well-suited to understanding local customs, culture, and historical changes.

As for the question just now, I'd like to ask it on behalf of others—

Although it was also formed as a talent agency, most of the employees are family members who, like me, share the goal of bringing peace and 'harmony' to this place.

Oh, by the way, Gwen, have you ever heard of the name of Xipe, the Divine Lord of the same kind and the star of harmony?

Suddenly remembering the text Gwen had sent earlier, he Robin, who lived in a different world, had asked Gwen if he knew about Xipe of the Concord.

Although they are connected by star orbits, according to the common knowledge in the Milky Way, different star systems separated by Imaginary Energy at their edges can be called different worlds.

Even with star orbit connections, there are still lonely planets in the universe that have not been able to establish contact with the cosmos.

Therefore, even though the Robin took the different worlds Gwen had previously described as such different worlds, he still raised this question.

"I've heard about it—"

Upon Robin's final question, Gwen, impressed by the chicken-winged girl's quick wit, swiftly provided an answer.
