The First Invitation
"Okay, let's go back."
After watching the moon for a while, Sera stood up and looked at Miss Herta, who was quietly watching the moon with Sera.
"Not staying here overnight?"
Although Miss Herta asked this question, she naturally stood up. The tent was fine; someone would come and dispose of it. After all, they had used it, and it couldn't be left outside unless someone wanted to be punished by a genius's iron fist. They didn't need to go through the trouble of taking it back; otherwise, they would have to send someone to collect it and dispose of it.
"No, no matter what, I still prefer a more comfortable place. I'm not really comfortable sleeping in a tent."
No. 0 had already sent a message to the Blue Federation after Sera finished speaking, and a few seconds later, the car that had been waiting nearby slowly stopped in front of them.
Sera opened the car door, and Miss Herta gestured for No. 0 to get in first. No. 0 immediately understood Miss Herta's meaning, silently activated recording mode, and turned his gaze to the two people on his right. Only after Herta got in did Sera retract her wings and sit down.
Yes, the wings can be hidden... Hmm... the principle behind it? Let's just call it magic~
Miss Herta looked curiously at the spot where Sera had folded his wings, and then at the halo above his head.
Sera, seeing the Herta's gaze, naturally understood what she was thinking and gently shook her head.
"I can't take off my halo, nor can I hide it; I'm not Halovian."
"Okay."
Herta looked slightly disappointed; she had wanted to take it and examine the halo.
The row of seats where Sera and her group were sitting was isolated from the driver's seat by soundproofing, so there was no need to worry about their conversation being overheard. As for listening devices? They wouldn't dare. However, just in case there were any reckless fools, Sera had already checked them with her powers the moment she entered.
"Aren't you going to put this away? Why go through all that trouble and only put away the wings?"
"Because, to Herrscher, this is my true self."
Having experienced the liberation of self, why add unnecessary constraints to yourself?
Sera is feeling great right now; in her Herrscher state, using her powers is as natural as using her own limbs.
He's not stupid; why would he forgo his true, more powerful form and instead stick to his normal state?
"I now think that if angels really exist, they're probably talking about you."
If that's really what Miss Herta thinks, Sera is the real one, then Herta has to start thinking about why there are angels in the first place.
"Never mind, compared to these things..."
The Herta retrieved the information.
"How about coming with me to see the lantern festival tomorrow?"
Miss Herta's ears turned red, but her eyes did not flinch. This was the first time she had invited Sera out, not as payment for the experiment, but as an opportunity for her to try something out, something she wanted to do.
Tomorrow is Qixi Festival. While searching through documents, Herta came across news about the Blue Federation holding a lantern festival. Upon seeing the news, she thought of Sera, so Herta extended an invitation to Sera. She thought, "I'll do it."
"Huh?"
Although somewhat surprised that Herta would take the initiative to invite her out, especially on such a special day, Sera, despite her surprise, did not hesitate for long and accepted with a smile.
"Great, this is the first time Herta has invited me."
Sera smiled because of the Herta's invitation, which signified a breakthrough from zero to one. The Herta was no longer just letting Sera take the initiative; she herself was now involved, embarking on her first attempt against the only one.
The lonely genius, for the first time, extended an invitation to those she found who were like her to travel together. She was no longer alone, but was trying to walk with others.
No. 0's core began to get excited. Ms. Herta had extended an invitation to Sera for a Qixi Festival party—this was a big deal! They had to prepare a full set of emergency response plans and not let any worries spoil their mood.
"Ms. Herta, Sera, would you like No. 0 to prepare some clothes in the style of the Xianzhou?"
No. 0 spoke up, explaining that Qixi Festival was a festival introduced to the Blue from the Xianzhou Alliance. Undoubtedly, wearing Xianzhou- style clothing would be more fitting for the atmosphere on Qixi.
Herta and Sera exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.
"Then I'll trouble No. 0. As for me... azure blue will do."
Upon hearing this, Miss Herta smiled, feeling that she had an idea.
Back home, Herta mysteriously pulled No. 0 away, telling Sera to leave everything to her to arrange. No. 0 looked at Herta Miss Herta with what seemed like a mischievous grin, but quickly suppressed it and tactfully gave up her seat.
Herta started by designing her own clothes, which were predominantly purple with black accents, a style consistent with her usual approach. The outfit featured long sleeves and a long skirt, with a matching inner and outer layer. Herta Miss Herta designed a purple lily hairpin and a pre-planned braided hairstyle.
"Go, assign a few people to do it."
After Herta finished designing the blueprints, he handed them over to No. 0, who then arranged for the No. 0 to be made.
As for Sera...
Miss Herta's smile widened. Of course, clothes should suit one's face and figure. In Herta's own opinion, Sera was definitely more suited to long dresses.
The god who designed Sera's dress had such perfect taste; this dress suited Sera perfectly.
The outfit is predominantly in deep blue and pure white, accented with gold embroidery, creating a light, airy, and gentle feel. The outer garment is made of soft, pure white fabric, with wide sleeves and fluffy white fur trimming the lapels and cuffs, reflecting the slightly chilly weather recently.
The inner layer is a deep blue long dress, with an intricate and exquisite embroidery pattern on the chest, featuring elements of the moon. A light-colored, thin ribbon is tied at the chest, giving the impression that the person is floating in the air, with the ribbon fluttering in the wind. Just imagining it evokes a feeling of ethereal bliss.
Hmm... there's something missing about the Herta. What could it be?
Aha! A high ponytail! Miss Herta finally figured out what was missing that feeling. Although Sera looked good with her hair down, a high ponytail gave her a much better look.
After thinking for a moment, Herta designed a moon-shaped hair clip to hold hair in place.
This is just right!
Miss Herta looked at the design with satisfaction. Of course, she had thought about clothes in the style of the Xianzhou, so she didn't need to think much to recall the relevant Remembrance.
After Herta finishes building her new home, she will eventually make all the clothes she designed for herself and fill the entire Herta City!
After continuing to distribute the design blueprints to No. 0 to find dolls to make them, Miss Herta did not stop. Instead, she brought out the witch's outfit and began designing it for Sera.
