Volume 1: 235. A Battleground? A Family Gathering! Charlotte's Turn. (6K)

Hotel Sacher.

The Little Idol's phones started buzzing, and soon they all knew the news.

Kiriwake Yayoi no longer folds origami cranes.

Xie Qingxuan finished her yoga and meditation session.

Tang Liuli was greatly shocked and scrambled up from the sofa. She was so agitated that she seemed to be making a gurgling sound in her throat, and her emerald green eyes were full of vigilance, which was quite cute.

Chu Wangshu sat up in bed, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and looked at the sun hat on the bedside table. This thing that her older sister had tucked into her arms had a very nice, warm smell, as if it had been sun-dried.

The Little Cotton-padded Jacket's dark eyes brightened. She hugged her, sniffed her, and happily shuffled out of the house in her slippers. There she found the three little seniors sitting face to face in the Living room, all silent, the atmosphere strangely tense.

Chu Wangshu pondered for a moment, then quietly slipped back into her room. She figured everyone was probably angry with Qing Bao.

Well, there's nothing we can do about it. After all, we agreed to play together this afternoon, and it's normal to be unhappy if you suddenly stand me up for so long.

No, everyone likes Qing Bao so much, they wouldn't be so petty, there must be other reasons!

The Little Cotton-padded Jacket's face was serious. She tried hard to imagine what was going on, and then it dawned on her.

Oh right, that older sister's performance yesterday went viral. If they continue to advance, they'll definitely meet and compete against each other in the future.

After returning at noon, Chu Wangshu, like a devoted fan, went back to digging into Charlotte's past and repeatedly watched her performance from yesterday on the official website. Her conclusion was... that she was simply not on the same level as her opponent.

Although it's very frustrating, given everyone's current skill level, even if a team were to PK against an opponent's individual and unleash the ultimate burst of five levels of [Flow State], they still wouldn't be able to compete with Charlotte.

This is a world of difference in the Idol Domain, comparable to a max-level boss reaching the end of the road.

Even long after watching her perform, whenever you think of her at some point, her voice will immediately resonate in your mind, stirring up a deep sense of nostalgia. You'll pause in the wind, stunned, as if this end-of-the-century Diva has left an indelible mark on the depths of your soul.

After forming a team with everyone, Chu Wangshu had always looked forward to shining on stage and becoming a truly reliable and confident idol. She wanted to be the moon hanging high in the sky. However, after watching Charlotte's performance, she couldn't muster any enthusiasm when she went to the dance studio for training this afternoon.

It's as if subconsciously knowing there's an insurmountable mountain ahead, making the meaning of effort infinitely diminish.

So...

Sister Xie, Sister Yayoi, and Liuli also have similar thoughts, which is why they don't really want to see Charlotte?

The Little Cotton-padded Jacket, clutching her sun hat, sat on the bed deep in thought. She took out her phone and decided to report the information to Qing Bao so that the reliable Pure White Witch could come back and comfort everyone!

Meanwhile, in the Living room.

The Green Eyed Cat's expression was serious. She sat upright on the sofa, as if she had transformed into the wise Zhuge Liuli, issuing orders to the two generals under her command:

"We absolutely cannot let that wicked woman and Qing Bao continue to be so close. If we let this continue, Qing Bao will be completely lured away by that person!"

Kiriwake Yayoi blinked, and hesitated before saying:

"Huh? It can't be that exaggerated, can it?"

Xie Qingxuan remained calm, intently browsing her phone app to find highly-rated restaurants nearby, and casually replied:

"Liuli, what do you want for dinner? We had fried pork cutlets last time, but they weren't as good as Xiao Qing's. How about we try a restaurant that specializes in desserts?"

Tang Liuli replied earnestly:

"Rejected. Desserts are no good; they're too fattening."

The Green Eyed Cat immediately realized something was wrong. She re-evolved into Zhuge Liuli and accused her in embarrassment and anger:

"You must take this seriously! What's the point of ceding five cities today, ten cities tomorrow, and then getting a night's rest?"

"Charlotte can steal Qing Bao away for an afternoon today and drag her to have lunch with us! Tomorrow she can sleep with Qing Bao and come over in the morning, cuddling Qing Bao and showing off to us!"

"If we wait a few more days, Qing Bao will abandon us and go on a trip with Charlotte, to enjoy a world of their own!"

Kiriwake Yayoi was shaken by what she heard, but she quickly shook her head, her innocent face radiating a naive trust, and said earnestly:

"Xiao Qing won't abandon me. I folded almost a hundred origami cranes this afternoon."

Xie Qingxuan thought for a moment, then said confidently:

"No way, I'll cry in front of Xiao Qing, that'll soften her heart."

"If Xiao Qing still doesn't soften her heart, then I'll have no choice but to pester her to become a mistress and sell my body to Xiao Qing for free."

Thankfully, his Little Cotton-padded Jacket wasn't there; otherwise, with those lewd words, Chu Yuanqing would be in a terrible predicament, a veritable playboy who preys on innocent young girls.

Kiriwake Yayoi was deeply shocked. Her innocent girlish heart couldn't bear such remarks, and her face flushed with shame. She couldn't help but take a few steps back, keeping her distance from the terrifying blond pervert.

Tang Liuli was furious.

Forget about the Sakura Girl! How can you, Golden Haired Doggy, be so useless? What a waste of those cool nicknames like "Great Demon King," "Stage Tyrant," and "Imperial Fierce Tiger"!

He looks incredibly cold and fierce, but he's just a useless internal war god! The Doomsday Diva hasn't even finished her C play yet, and he's already surrendered!

Green Eyed Cat has deeply understood the human truth that "darkening makes you three times stronger, whitewashing makes you three times weaker." Xie Qingxuan used to be so fierce on the opposite stage, but now he's so innocent on our side. Relying on this degraded version of the pervert is useless.

As for Little Sakura?

Haha, just a foolish woman. If she were in a comic book, she'd be the kind of girl who gets sold out by her boyfriend and still helps him count the money, and might even continue to be obsessed with future plans!

Tang Liuli felt an immense responsibility on her shoulders—the happy future of the entire team.

The girl's eyes were firm, her expression serious. She was now the only one left who could carry the team. She had to defeat Charlotte decisively and drive away that wretched outsider! Otherwise... otherwise, that bad guy would definitely steal today's Magic Replenishment day!

Kiriwake Yayoi had no idea what the cat was thinking. Lost in those chaotic memories, she simply gave up trying to think, like a gentle, flowing water that would eventually become a Yamato Nadeshiko from East Flow Island, embodying the core tactic of responding to all changes with constancy.

At that moment, Little Sakura simply sat on the sofa, reached out and poked the Social Anxiety Cat's waist, turning her from her imaginary state into a flustered mess, before earnestly saying to herself:

"Anyway, we still need to eat dinner. Let's think about where to eat and then just meet up at the restaurant."

Tang Liuli instinctively clutched her waist, shifting her hips a little further away from the other person. She pouted unhappily, giving the Sakura Girl a look of utter disapproval, and said:

"Don't you dare poke me secretly! I'll tell Qing Bao you bullied me!"

After thinking about Kiriwake Yayoi realized that this was indeed a terrible threat. She didn't want to be seen as a bad person who liked to bully small animals by Chu Yuanqing, so under the angry gaze of the Social Anxiety Cat, she simply pinched her cheek, then smiled and apologized, handing her an amulet as an apology.

Ignoring her anger at having her cheek pinched, Tang Liuli curiously picked up the gift from the Sakura Girl, her eyes filled with confusion.

This is clearly a handmade amulet, with exquisite patterns on pure white brocade and adorned with beautiful cloud designs.

The most eye-catching feature is that one side is embroidered with a cartoon-style Green Eyed Cat, its fluffy head topped with the phrase "May everything go smoothly," while the other side features cats in different poses, each with the phrase "May you be healthy and free from disaster" on its head.

At the very bottom of both sides, the characters for "Liuli" are stitched with gilded thread; the front is in Japanese, and the back is in Great Xia Language.

The Green Eyed Cat had mixed feelings. In a place like Austria, it was impossible to find someone to customize something like this, let alone in the base. This meant that this amulet could only have been carefully sewn by Little Sakura herself.

Does this mean the other person genuinely considers you a friend?

Tang Liuli was somewhat at a loss. She was afraid of getting hurt, so she was used to interacting with others in an adversarial way. Even when she first met Chu Yuanqing, she was like that. After forming a team with everyone, she never took the initiative to have a serious heart-to-heart talk with anyone and say that we were friends.

Even though she instinctively realized that these teammates were inexplicably kind and not bad people, her interactions with them all revolved around Chu Yuanqing, as if once that connection was broken, they would quickly go their separate ways.

That was indeed the case initially.

Tang Liuli agreed to join Kiriwake Yayoi's team only for Chu Yuanqing's sake. At that time, she didn't like idols and even disliked this sunny yet cunning Sakura Girl. But now, many things have changed.

The Green Eyed Cat was stunned for a moment. Looking at the amulet, she suppressed her stubborn and arrogant habits, pursed her lips, and honestly whispered:

"Thank you, I really like this gift."

The girl was clearly surprised; her expression turned serious, and a smile played in her cherry-pink eyes as she softly said:

"If you like it, that's good. There's a talisman, a piece of scripture on paper, some calming incense, and some small pieces of wood inside."

"Well, usually the names of the gods are written on the wooden tablets, but they are usually very busy, and the amulets I made aren't very formal, so I just wrote my own name on them. It's a testament to our friendship."

Tang Liuli didn't know how to respond. After being blocked from the option of being a little hedgehog, this question was too difficult for someone with social anxiety. She could only nod to indicate that she had heard, her mind starting to think about how to respond, while a strong sense of déjà vu arose in her chest.

It's like... something similar has happened more than once.

Kiriwake Yayoi didn't think much of it; she made an amulet for everyone in the group.

Firstly, upon seeing Charlotte, memories flooded back, and a strange yet familiar feeling filled her soul, deepening her affection for the other Little Idol. She inexplicably wanted to do something for them, as if some little habit had been revived.

Secondly, [Heart Forging] has a great boost effect on handicrafts, forging, painting, and even all skills including equipment crafting. She folds origami cranes much faster. If she didn't have to set aside energy (which also includes magic) to make amulets, she could fold hundreds of them in an hour.

Therefore, after purchasing the materials, the actual production time for these five amulets was only one hour, which is incredibly fast considering their exquisite quality.

Thinking Kiriwake Yayoi took out another amulet from her bag and gave it to Xie Qingxuan.

The girl took the amulet, her eyelashes drooping as she looked at the Golden Haired Doggy on it. Her cool face was filled with confusion; she clearly didn't know how others perceived her. However, because she liked fluffy things, she wasn't averse to it and said earnestly:

"Thanks."

After Xie Qingxuan finished speaking, as if she had thought of something, she hesitated for a long while before taking something out of her pocket. Under Little Sakura's bewildered gaze, she reluctantly placed it in Xiaoyinghua's hand and solemnly said:

"Here, this is for you. I haven't used it yet. I'll send you the app later."

Kiriwake Yayoi looked at the spherical object in her palm. Her brain's CPU sluggish for a moment, then began to run at high speed. Five seconds later, she finally reacted, her cute face flushed pink, and she almost couldn't help but throw the little toy in her hand away, as if it were something dirty.

But at this moment, the Golden Haired Doggy's pure gaze became the greatest constraint. This sincerity, like breaking a cookie in half and offering you a piece directly, made it hard to refuse.

Little Sakura was too embarrassed to throw it back. Suppressing her shame, she glanced at Liuli, and noticing that the other hadn't noticed, quickly and guiltily stuffed the item into her clothes, pursing her lips as she said:

"Um, um, I don't play these kinds of games, but thank you for the gift anyway."

I got some strange stuff, but... as long as I don't use it, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Xie Qingxuan withdrew her gaze with satisfaction. She sent the mysterious app to Little Sakura. After doing all this, she got up and went to Chu Wangshu's room, pulled out her Little Cotton-padded Jacket, and began to quickly discuss what to eat.

Then, the Little Idol decided on a restaurant in three minutes, sent each other their reservations, changed their clothes, and went out.

Vienna is a small city compared to the Sea Capital. In less than half an hour, everyone gathered at a restaurant before 6:30.

This place is called the Twelve Apostles Cellar. Austria has many wine bars built using underground warehouses, commonly known as "Weinkellers," and the restaurant here is clearly one of them.

Well, to paraphrase Green Eyed Cat, Austria cuisine is really not as good as its homeland in the East, so don't worry too much about the taste. Just find a restaurant that's fresh and has regional characteristics, and that will make the trip worthwhile and be a great success.

This restaurant was chosen for its rich history, having been converted from a 1300-year-old building. Designed by the court architect Hildebrand, it's a place that's neither too big nor too small, enough to accommodate 300 people, and has a distinctly medieval feel.

When Chu Yuanqing entered, she saw a statue of Saint Paul at the entrance. St. Paul was one of the first leaders of Christianity. She and Charlotte found a square table that could seat six people and ordered some signature dishes such as Braised Beef, Fried Veal Steak, and Emperor Pancake.

Charlotte proactively ordered several bottles of wine and two bottles of juice.

Well, the juice is for Liuli and Little Cotton-padded Jacket, and the wine is an important prop for celebrating the reunion with the rest of our old friends!

Although the Little Idol had many ideas, for the Doomsday Diva, nothing was more joyful than the reunion in the second playthrough. This dinner was just to celebrate everyone's reunion and to see her Little Cotton-padded Jacket!

As for a chaotic situation? Such things could indeed happen before everyone regains their memories, but since they will eventually become one big family, these are just part of the play, harmless little pleasures.

It's easy to imagine that, in Charlotte's eyes, this meeting was probably no different from a family gathering.

From her perspective, everyone at the dinner party was either her lover Chu Yuanqing Little Cotton-padded Jacket or her own daughter, and even the others were her good friends/sworn brothers/ Xiao Qing's wife/ Little Cotton-padded Jacket daughter's mother. The purity of their relationships was simply unbelievable.

Looking at Charlotte, who was so happy she started humming a song, Chu Yuanqing couldn't help but smile happily. Although her memories were incomplete, she could still share the same anticipation and joy with Charlotte, and her worries about the chaotic situation were minimized.

A short while later, the Little Idol arrived at the restaurant together.

Xie Qingxuan to Charlotte Ludi. When she saw this person, her heart was filled with longing, and her usually cold and indifferent face softened slightly. She asked directly:

"You look familiar. Do you know who I am?"

Charlotte's eyes sparkled; she clearly understood the unspoken message. She happily moved closer, sitting familiarly next to the Golden Haired Doggy, her eyes crinkling into a radiant, infectious smile. She spoke in the Great Xia Language:

"Of course, Xiao Xuan, I not only know your silly older sister, but I've also known you for a long time. I'm really happy to meet you. I think this must be the guidance of fate."

Xie Qingxuan was somewhat bewildered. She did recall some fragments of Charlotte's story and wanted to test her, but she didn't expect that Charlotte would not only admit it so readily but also so naturally cross her social boundaries.

The girl's immediate instinct was to push the other person back.

Unfortunately, the Doomsday Diva's voice was lively and alluring, as if mixed with the aroma of grapes from a wine cellar, creating joyful notes that resonated in her soul. After hesitating for a moment, she was powerless to resist and could only reveal her clumsy, innocent, and harmless demeanor in front of her friends.

Charlotte quickly ascertained the Golden Haired Doggy's preferences, gifted him a unique perfume she'd bought at the opera festival, glanced at the astonished Little Sakura beside her, and flashed a succubus-like smile before fluently uttering in Japanese:

"I really like your stage performances. Can I just call you Yayoi?"

The Doomsday Diva's eyes shone brightly, the blue hue spreading like ripples. She was a captivating enchantress, and an ethereal, fairy-like atmosphere filled the entire wine cellar.

The waiters, the owner, and the customers who recognized her couldn't help but turn their gazes to her, but seeing Charlotte's happy appearance, they were all overwhelmed by her terrifying charm and had no intention of approaching her to disturb her.

Kiriwake Yayoi was also a little confused. She could only nod blankly and say okay, completely drawn into the rhythm of the Doomsday Diva.

Before she could say anything, Charlotte took out a beautifully wrapped gift from her bag, handed it over, and said with a bright smile and expectant look:

"Oh, right, I heard from Xiao Qing that you have a younger sister, right? This is a specialty of Austria, a box of Mozart Chocolate Balls. Kids should love them!"

Little Sakura wanted to refuse, but when she heard that it was for Yuki, she hesitated for a moment. But when she saw Charlotte's cute smile, her thought of refusing vanished, and she could only accept it.

After thinking for Kiriwake Yayoi simply took out an amulet from her pocket, handed it over, and said:

"This is for you."
