Addition and subtraction

Arcueid was outside the window, heard Bai Mo's words but didn't say anything. She pressed her head against the glass, and the next moment, with a crack, she crushed the glass with her whole body. The shards flew everywhere like snowflakes, carrying a chilling cold.

The people around were shocked. Seeing this, Arcueid and Ciel looked around at the same time. The Mystic Eyes of Enchantment and the Suggestion Magecraft instantly calmed the crowd that was about to riot.

"It's not like there's no way out..." Bai Mo said, raising his hand. The glass shards, like a videotape being played in reverse, were restored to their original state, without a single scratch. Arcueid was clearly in a terrible mood and stood directly on the dining table.

She selectively ignored Bai Mo, focusing all her hostility on Ciel. Facing Arcueid's chilling killing intent, Ciel did not back down, as if the battle would break out here at any moment.

"Ciel, you're still as repulsive as ever. You're just a body full of rotting flesh, yet you still eat? No amount of seasoning can change the awful smell you have. Just thinking about the curry oozing from you makes me want to vomit."

Arcueid looked down at Ciel as if he were about to kick Ciel's head away like a soccer ball.

"What is that? Something cut into pieces, covered in disgusting vomit. You're the only one I can think of lately, right? Arcueid, are you introducing yourself?"

Ciel was not afraid at all. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

Although there were no guns or cannons in sight, the restaurant was filled with the smell of gunpowder, almost like a battlefield. Bai Mo looked at the two of them with a headache and said, "Um, Arcueid, could you come down first?"

"Bai--Mo--, can you explain why you're eating with this woman? You've never eaten with me before."

Before Bai Mo could answer, Ciel immediately said, "Does this kind of thing require your permission? Aren't you a bit too controlling? You used to have only one advantage: being independent. Now you're full of flaws."

"With such a strong desire for control, why not just suck his blood?"

Upon hearing this, Arcueid's murderous intent froze. Then, like a detective pondering a mystery, she placed her hand to her lips and murmured, "Yes? Why not?"

"Because you can't bite it, and is it really okay for you to talk about this kind of thing in front of me? Do you mean you two are actually quite compatible?"

Bai Mo felt that the two of them seemed to regard him as some kind of trophy, while the large golden cat clearly had some different ideas.

"Bai Mo, don't speak yet!"

"Mr. Bai Mo, please be quiet!"

The two said in unison, and then each received a "See, I knew it" look from Bai Mo.

Bai Mo didn't want to say anything more about this. When women argue, nothing you say will make a difference. Speaking of which, I've always wanted to eat a super-sized pork chop rice bowl.

Having come up with an idea never before considered, Bai Mo decided to abandon further thought. Clearly, there was a significant karmic entanglement between these two, one that was beyond her control. Taking a sip of barley tea, Bai Mo, like a little goldfish, quietly savored the aroma.

From Bai Mo's perspective, Arcueid's legs are still struggling against Ciel's body.

"Don't try to tempt me with anything. Bai Mo is already my companion; I don't need that kind of pointless contract. But you, Ciel, are you trying to steal someone else's companion without my permission?"

"Yes, after all, his status in the Church is quite special, so I'm going to rob him now. Could you please go back to your hometown?"

The two fell silent, and the atmosphere in the arena became suffocating again. Just then, a voice rang out. "Two servings of competition-grade curry pork chop rice, please enjoy."

Bai Mo watched as the chef calmly brought over two servings of curry pork chop rice. Was he still doing his job after being hinted at and seduced? Bai Mo began to look forward to the dishes prepared by such a determined chef.

"So Arcueid, can you get down? I really can't eat with your legs looking at me."

Bai Mo spoke slowly, and upon hearing this, Arcueid retorted angrily, "What?! Do you have a problem with my leg?! Or are you still going to have dinner with this woman?"

Despite her angry words, Arcueid obediently got off the table and said indignantly, "You did such a brutal thing to me the first time, and my body is still aching!"

Pfft! Bai Mo choked on her barley tea. Hearing this, the light in Ciel's eyes vanished. Forgetting about arguing with Arcueid, she impatiently asked, "Huh? Arcueid, what are you talking about?!"

"What I said is the truth. You keep saying you'll take responsibility for me, and you've spent the whole day with me today. Does all that I've spent with you mean it's less than a plate of curry pork chop rice?"

I can definitely do something like treat you to a meal!

Ciel's gaze seemed unfocused, Bai Mo quickly grabbed Arcueid's shoulder, somewhat frantically saying, "Don't say things that will cause misunderstandings! It's just a meal."

"It hurts..." Arcueid cried out in pain, tears welling in her eyes. Bai Mo instantly released her hands, worried about hurting Arcueid. But, would Bai Mo had mastered the Final Realm, lose control of his power? Or was the pain not in his shoulder at all?

Arcueid stood there for a few seconds, seemingly wanting Bai Mo to give her an explanation, an explanation that even she herself didn't know. And Bai Mo? How could someone who had never been in a relationship offer advice?

Perhaps Sea Tiger should have been the one to teach that lesson on love back then; at least he could have easily won over this big golden cat.

"Bai Mo, you big idiot!" Arcueid fled as if running away. Bai Mo left his share of the meal money, said a brief goodbye to Ciel, and then hurriedly left.

Looking at the two of them, Ciel couldn't help but sigh, crossing his arms and saying, "Is it not just humans, but almost all intelligent beings who have the same respect? What a troublesome flaw."

Ciel shook his head helplessly, then picked up his plate. Since things had come to this, let's eat first. I'll have two portions.

On the rooftop, Cathy Palug, who fed on jealousy and regret, let out a burp.

Fu~ (I knew following him would be the right choice.)

Arcueid flew through the city at night, then stopped at the shopping mall where she had watched a movie during the day. Bai Mo Bai Mo silently appeared behind her, and Arcueid seemed to feel a little better upon sensing his arrival.

"Have I been causing you trouble all along?" Arcueid asked slowly.

"Yes."

Hearing Bai Mo's words, Arcueid's teeth chattered ominously. She stamped her foot and snapped, "Then why did you come to me! Go hang out with your Church! They're no good. When they've used you until you're nothing but skin and bones, I won't even care if you beg me."

Because I can't let go of my feelings for you.

Bai Mo's words stunned Arcueid; the emotion in her eyes vanished instantly. Bai Mo slowly said to her, "After all, you've always been alone, haven't you? That kind of life is terrible, and if you don't take care of yourself, you'll be ambushed and critically injured."

"I didn't..." Arcueid's displeasure had vanished, but she still needed an answer.

"It's clearly all Bai Mo's fault. We've become companions in fate, yet she went to see Ciel on her own. I won't forgive you easily until you give me an explanation! And this time, I won't let you fool me with excuses."

Arcueid's cat ears reappeared, and Bai Mo still couldn't figure out how they worked. Couldn't even comprehend the power of 500,000 horsepower? What an incredible creature.

But... how could Bai Mo give her an answer? He pondered and pondered, hoping that he could find something in his past life to answer her questions.

Multiply your love by two, and that becomes my love for Qiutian.

Suddenly, Bai Mo heard someone's voice in his ear. Ever since the darkness instilled some strange contrasting methods in him, it seemed as if a ghost had appeared beside Bai Mo. A ghost of love.

Arcueid.

Seeing that Bai Mo seemed somewhat serious, Arcueid also composed himself and became serious.

Have you thought it through?

"That's right, Arcueid. First of all, I have no sense of belonging to the Church. My dealings with Ciel were only because she possessed a portion of my Magnetic Field Power, which is why I paid some attention to her. Arcueid, can you sense this feeling of attention?"

How could I possibly sense that kind of thing? Arcueid thought to himself, but seeing that Bai Mo hadn't finished speaking, he didn't say it aloud.

"But for me, you and I are in a mutually supportive relationship, and you're quite foolish, always getting yourself into a lot of trouble."

I'll beat you up! Even if I can't beat you, I'll still splatter blood all over you!

Bai Mo took a deep breath and said, "Therefore, I pay even more attention to your situation. If we were to compare, multiply Ciel's attention by two, and you'd reach the level of concern I have for you."

"Multiply... multiply by two..." Arcueid trembled slightly upon hearing this. For some reason, even though it was a bunch of meaningless and insulting words, the thought that her status in Bai Mo's heart was twice that of Ciel made her tremble.

Just thinking about this fact made her feel as if she were in a spring field, and she felt that everything before could be forgiven. Now, no matter what request the person in front of her made, she would agree to it. An unprecedented joy filled Arcueid's heart.

"Hoo... quack!" Arcueid suddenly cried out to the sky, then grabbed Bai Mo's hand and said, "Well, since that's the case, I forgive you! I feel like my emotions are about to burst out, I'm so happy!"

Seeing Arcueid's expression, Bai Mo, who had been worried that he might have said something stupid, was stunned.

At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder: Could it be... that the darkness was truly right?
