So...
Bronya did not find it strange. She was very familiar with Anti-Entropy's procedures. It was a rather loose alliance structure, and the organization's executors often set up their own operations. Especially with the leader missing, Bronya had long since stopped being surprised by it.
"You became an Anti-Entropy executor..."
She hesitated, leaving her words unfinished.
Zhao Bai continued along Bronya's train of thought. "From now on, when we're in bed, you'll have to call me your superior..."
"How lewd."
Bronya nodded, waiting for Heavy Cannon Rabbit to punish Zhao Bai. But after waiting for quite a while, Heavy Cannon Rabbit did not suddenly appear. Instead, Zhao Bai gave her a big hug, his right hand skillfully sliding beneath the bend of her knees as he lifted Bronya into a princess carry.
Bronya was a little stunned.
"Mm—"
Fortunately, though Heavy Cannon Rabbit was late, it came in the end.
The massive machine appeared before them. Zhao Bai stopped heading for the bed. Heavy Cannon Rabbit stopped him, but rather than roughly yanking him away, it gently picked him up by the back of his collar and tenderly set Zhao Bai on the ground.
This was not a raging storm of an attack, but a gentle lesson.
Bronya felt that something was off.
Zhao Bai glanced at the iced tea on the table. After four hours of steeping, all the ice had melted. A faint mist of condensation covered the glass teapot, and the tea was a hazy pale golden color, carrying an elegant, delicate fragrance.
"Bronya, go to sleep first. Heavy Cannon Rabbit and I have important matters to discuss, so we'll be leaving for a while."
"?"
Bronya tilted her head, having no idea what had happened.
P.S.: Martini's sparkling wine is really good—the Asti one. It
