"So the rumors that Doctor Mobius conducted human experiments were true..."

"I told you, she wasn't a good person!"

"..."

Gradually, bit by bit.

Many people around the world could no longer distinguish truth from falsehood.

Those who stubbornly insisted that all of this was fake, that the sky-screen projections were manipulated by nations, had long since forgotten their own claims.

Yet the more people believed it, the more unsettled they became. After all, human experimentation sounded like a taboo. Merely mentioning it was enough to terrify people.

It was as though only true villains would do such a thing.

But...

Was that really the case?

Many people engaged in scientific research, including many rational-minded individuals, understood that setting aside all other nonsense, every medicine needed to undergo clinical trials. From a certain perspective, that was also a form of human experimentation.

It simply was not as extreme.

Moreover, with the other party's consent, they were research volunteers.

They would even receive compensation.

That was already very good!

One had to know.

Many people afflicted with Honkai Sickness could only wait for death.

If they participated in Mobius's experiments and succeeded, they could survive. If they failed, they could at least leave something behind for their families.

So their families could live better lives.

That was far, far better than those people who tricked or coerced you into coming over, then experimented on you without telling you anything...

Those people were much worse.

Although there were indeed people like that, secretly carrying out such work in every nation and organization, and some of them were so cold-hearted that they never even realized they had done anything wrong.

Still, many more people had genuinely developed a much better impression of Mobius because of her honesty.

"So if I don't want to... the doctor won't use me for experiments."

Some Flame-Chasing Moth members smiled.

But his colleague quickly said, "But I think Doctor Mobius has ten thousand ways to make you agree."

It had to be admitted.

That was true too...

So who the hell would visit the Mobius Laboratory for no reason?

Mobius herself could certainly imagine what kind of impact this revelation would have.

But she did not care.

All right.

That was about enough for today.

That was it for this episode's review.

All right, I know this episode was a little thin.

But there was nothing I could do. A lot of Doctor Mobius's early records had been destroyed. It was already pretty good that the Supreme Secret Council had this much.

Next time, let's talk about something new.

For example, sisters? How about that?

At that moment.

The mention by the Vup girl in the video—that much of Mobius's information had been destroyed—caught the attention of many nations, organizations, and individuals.

Why had that happened?

Why had her records been erased?

And why specifically the early records?

Could they have documented some disgraceful part of her past? Had she erased them herself?

Of course, perhaps she had not done it. It might have been someone else—perhaps followers concealing things for someone they revered, or enemies trying to erase her accomplishments. It was also possible that the records had gradually disappeared over tens of thousands of years.

None of those possibilities were unreasonable.

After all.

Anyone could imagine it.

After tens of thousands of years.

No matter how complete the records had once been, they would probably become scarce.

No matter how prosperous a civilization was, it would always face turbulent times. Afterwards, it would either decline or rise again.

The future was naturally a good one.

It had endured for tens of thousands of years and, according to that Content Creator on the sky screen, had even become the ruler of the universe.

That alone was like a guarantee, enough to make many people breathe a sigh of relief.

But!

People were like that.

The less they knew, the more they wanted to know.

Some began making guesses.

After all, they lived in this era.

But then again...

Sisters?

What sisters?

Did Young Lady's harem have sisters too?

Oh, no.

Considering how wild Young Lady could get, maybe that was not surprising?

She had even married a girl. What was wrong with flirting with a pair of sisters?

In any case!

If this video received over one million likes, the next episode would be updated on schedule.

If it received over two million likes, I'd immediately release two episodes in a row.

It's a new account, so I hope everyone will support me.

As for the sisters, I'm sure everyone already knows.

That's right, Lord Sakura and Lord Rin. The Star God of Instant and her younger sister—definitely heavyweights too.

Please look forward to it.

That was the end.

The video had finished playing.

There was one good thing about watching the projection.

Even though it was a video, it felt as if that future Content Creator was talking to you face-to-face.

No matter what you said, she could not hear it, and no matter what she said, you could only listen.

Even the people conversing with her seemed to be viewers from her side sending in messages.

But.

That distinctive sweet, soft voice was truly lovable!

Unlike some people, who treated it like a dictation test, listening only for the key points and taking notes.

Or others who analyzed and pondered, as though they were daydreaming in class. For ordinary viewers, that definitely made for a much worse experience.

Yet many people still kept staring into the sky, listening to the young lady chatter away.

She even casually mentioned that unofficial histories recorded how Bianca later introduced Klein to Mobius, after which Mobius began favoring Klein.

Everyone laughed.

But Klein froze on the spot.

Why was everything unofficial history?!

Well... unofficial histories were more entertaining, after all~

PS1: The second update is here. More tomorrow—keep it up~

Rin: She Wants a Pair of Sisters! Sure~

At the same time.

Watching the projection in the sky outside the window gradually disappear.

Sakura fell into deep thought.

Rin, who was sitting beside her, blinked her bright eyes, then turned toward her sister and asked excitedly.

"Big Sister... are they talking about you?"

But immediately after.

Before Sakura could answer.

Rin nodded to herself, looking utterly confident.

"That's right! It has to be you."

"Rin..." Sakura came back to herself slightly and gathered her thoughts.

Then Rin giggled and threw herself into her arms. "Even if Big Sister's name isn't special, I believe that even if there are many Sakuras in the world, the one mentioned on the sky screen must be my big sister."

"But you're up there too..." Sakura's expression was difficult to read, touched with worry.

The two sisters both had pink hair and looked very alike. The elder was already a stunning beauty, while the younger still retained some childishness.

The difference was that Sakura had practiced martial arts for years and worked as an assassin, so she naturally carried an imposing aura that made her seem somewhat aloof.

But Rin knew that Sakura was actually very gentle.

It was because Rin had a weak constitution, frequently fell ill, and never fully recovered that she had burdened her sister.

In fact, because of this, Rin appeared thin and pale. Although she had thrown herself into her sister's arms and acted affectionately with her, careful observation would reveal that she was struggling somewhat. Cold sweat had appeared on her forehead as well.

Sakura gently wiped it away for Rin.

She smiled faintly.

Yet in the next moment, worry still filled her face.

"I'm not too concerned... but you..."

Before Sakura could finish.

Rin raised her head and smiled brightly. Her carefree innocence seemed to want to wipe away Sakura's worries. Did she not understand? No, she did. She understood many things.

Precisely because illness tormented her, she understood even more clearly how difficult things were for her sister.
