"But such perfection and elegance always makes a mediocre person like me feel indescribably troubled. Is the relationship born from such a relationship true or false? Does she treat others like this too?
"So if I have to say, I would rather get along with you, Dr. Einstein, or Dr. Tesla who is currently at St. Freya's Academy. At least you won't make me feel the above confusion."
This is not false, but extremely sincere.
Lu Mian himself has certain requirements for relationships due to his past experiences. It is natural that he would subconsciously choose to stay away from a woman like Rita who is overly polite but difficult to see through at a glance.
Perhaps the other person is like a bottle of aged red wine. The mellow aroma and sweetness after opening are fascinating, but the process and complicated steps of waiting for it to be opened are enough to daunt people.
He is no longer the love-deprived gambler he once was. His encounter with Otto and Kallen completes him and gives him enough confidence to wait for a more suitable love.
"Is that so?" Einstein, who was rarely persuaded by just a few words even when she was a young girl, nodded without waiting for any change.
Then, she put the processed premium lobster into her mouth, feeling the extreme sweetness blooming on the tip of her tongue, and said vaguely and jokingly:
"I'll leave that aside for now. Dr. Tesla is indeed real enough. Can I take this as your confession to us?"
Hearing this, Lu Mian just chuckled.
With enough experience, he is obviously not the kind of young boy who can be easily teased. "If you two genius beautiful female doctors are really willing to agree, then this is possible.
"Otherwise, this topic would be too dangerous. If you're not careful, you won't be able to escape it for the rest of your life, right?"
"A lifetime? Isn't this a bit of a luxury for us?" Einstein, who was clearly aware of the current situation, continued eating but suddenly replied with this sentence.
Chapter 24: Thank you Sister Rita (two in one)
"A lifetime? Isn't this a bit of a luxury for us?" Einstein, who knew that he was just a prisoner, continued eating but suddenly said this.
In response to this, Lu Mian took a sip of tea without commenting, and replied lightly with the fragrance of the tea:
"All the hypnosis I set up was to avoid possible trouble, whether you believe it or not, Dr. Einstein, this will not change.
"If you can promise that you and Dr. Tesla can let go of your insistence and not do anything else that goes against destiny and reverses entropy, I can solve it for you now.
"Can you promise?"
Hearing this, Einstein, who had been glancing at Lu Mian from time to time, immediately retracted his gaze, then stretched his neck, glanced sideways, and smiled.
"Well - I think premium lobsters should be eaten with No. 42 concrete." After a while, he avoided the question and said this ambiguous statement.
Perhaps, pretending to be crazy and stupid is the most direct answer.
Lu Mian chuckled and shrugged. Apart from the urge to start the "you and me sentence" again, there was no other emotion in his heart.
He did not expect to be able to convince Einstein or Tesla with just a few words without distorting their spirit, will and emotions.
What is the "mouth-to-mouth" skill?
If he had that ability, he could probably make the dead appear alive. It would be better to resurrect Cecilia and give Kiana both parents.
Lu Mian, who was amused by the "beautiful vision" in his heart, finally couldn't hold back:
"Dr. Einstein, excuse me for being blunt, you have lost anti-entropy and freedom, but you still have Dr. Tesla, so stay strong."
"Excuse me, but I don't know where you learned this way of speaking from, it's really annoying."
"Well, if the person who taught me knew about this, he might say to you: Thank you for the compliment."
"Tsk..."
Twenty minutes later.
After finishing their meal, Lu Mian and Einstein walked out hand in hand and ran into Rita who had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
The three of them did not talk much and walked straight to the laboratory where the bodies were prepared.
In the laboratory, which is not dark but bright, a culture chamber filled with green culture fluid stands quietly.
Its appearance is identical to Yae Rin's, but its lifeless body is curled up and floating in the culture medium, just like a newborn baby, sleeping soundly.
At the side, Lu Mian, who was not a stupid person to begin with and had completely understood the operating principle after Rita's careful explanation, breathed a sigh of relief.
But he casually mimicked the real Jizo Soul and let it float freely in the air beside him until he was needed, and then turned to studying the incubation chamber and the method of allowing the soul to enter the body.
Rita and Einstein, who were watching silently behind him, couldn't help but look at each other when they saw this, even though they didn't get along well.
There was the same deep shock in the two pairs of beautiful eyes of different colors.
Since at this time Xukong Wanzang had completely integrated with the Ksitigarbha Soul, the mimicry did not reveal any obvious characteristics.
So in their eyes, this move became a mysterious technique that seemed to be able to make objects appear out of thin air without the help of any technology.
It's more or less worth being surprised.
Lu Mian didn’t know that Einstein and Rita behind him were slightly shocked by the “misunderstanding”. Even if he knew, he probably wouldn’t be interested.
At this moment, he was extremely careful, like threading a needle, to pull the soul of Yaezakuri in Jizo's soul into his body bit by bit.
This is really not an easy job.
Although Jizo's soul has easy control over the soul due to his characteristics, it is a major matter involving the soul after all, so he cannot be careless in the slightest.
Therefore, Lu Mian was extremely serious and even set strict requirements for himself, to the point where he didn't even dare to breathe.
One point, two points, three points...
As time passed, beads of sweat continued to seep out of his smooth forehead, until they became densely packed and then slid down.
Tick, tick.
This serious and earnest look that seemed to sparkle made Rita and Einstein, who were just watching from the side, couldn't help but get involved and their hearts began to lift.
After a few minutes, a mysterious yet extremely clear buzzing sound reached the ears of the three people present, and Lu Mian stopped what he was doing.
Seeing that the Jizo spirit that had been floating beside Lu Mian had not dissipated, Einstein, who was almost only paying attention to the Jizo spirit, asked softly:
"Success?"
"Yeah." Lu Mian answered without looking back, but suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed his index finger at the culture chamber in front.
Rita and Einstein looked in the direction he pointed.
The pink-haired little girl, who was curled up and floating in the culture medium, looked like a flawless elf. She slowly opened her eyes as if she was a little confused, reflecting two pools of clean, clear blue.
How should I describe this scene? It feels inexplicably pure and sacred, like a little angel descending to the earth.
However, this extremely beautiful scene was destroyed the next second.
Yae Rin, who was still a little confused in the incubator, blinked her eyes and woke up completely, while also completely recognizing the surrounding environment.
Then, she, who died because of a rain and was probably incompatible with the element of water in her fate, became visibly panicked. She first covered her mouth and nose with one hand, and then looked at Lu Mian with pitiful and pleading eyes.
Looking at his little appearance, he must be so anxious that tears are about to fall.
Seeing this, Lu Mian and Einstein, who had walked to his side at some point, smiled at each other, and then without delay, they divided the work between the left and right sides to control the incubator.
But for a moment, he ignored Rita's expression behind him.
The maid stared quietly at the little cutie in the incubator, the expression on her charming yet heroic face softening over and over again.
She is hard to see through, but she actually has two hobbies that she never hides:
Yulan Dell, lovely children.
This time, my soft spot was severely hit...
Just as Rita was quietly admiring the adorable appearance of Yae Rin in the incubator, Lu Mian and Einstein were busy and finally emptied the culture fluid and opened the incubator.
After leaving the incubator and returning to the world as a "living person", Yae Rin was not sure whether she was unable to adapt to the air in Europe or her new limbs and body.
He was about to collapse to the ground helplessly.
Seeing this, Lu Mian and Einstein were about to leave when they saw a graceful figure with a faint rose scent flash up and hold Yae Rin firmly in her arms, regardless of the slightly sticky green culture fluid on her body.
Looking closely, who else could it be but Rita?
Lu Mian, who obviously had not read the biographies of every character carefully before traveling through time, and had no interest in becoming a "collapse scientist", did not know that Rita liked cute children very much.
He looked at the other person quietly, and also at the other person's neat dress stained by the culture fluid, and raised his eyebrows calmly.
After taking Yae Rin out of the incubator, Rita wiped her body carefully and personally changed her into a light pink cherry blossom kimono that had obviously been carefully prepared.
Yae Rin, who had become even more adorable and clean, looked at Rita's soiled dress with apologetic eyes, and apologized softly with a bit of embarrassment:
"I'm sorry, onee-san..."
"It's okay," Rita, who was crouching in front of Yae Rin, smiled and rubbed the former's head, then turned her head to look at Lu Mian, "I hope Master Lu Mian doesn't mind that I took the initiative."
As soon as these words came out, before Lu Mian could react, the little girl Yaezhin seemed to have found her backbone in an instant. She took two steps at a time and trotted to Lu Mian, reaching out to hold his hand.
Seeing this, Rita, who was standing there awkwardly, was stunned for a moment, but said nothing more. She stood up silently and patted her dress leisurely.
She was smiling from beginning to end, and her expression did not change at all.
Lu Mian didn't pay attention to Rita's expression or movements, he was only focused on the little girl Yaezun.
He, who already had a wealth of experience in "raising children", reached out and gently rubbed the other person's head, and said softly and concernedly:
"How is it? Are you getting used to this body? Do you feel any discomfort?"
"Thank you for your concern, brother-in-law. I feel fine." Yae Rin, who was "hardly" touched on the head, squinted her eyes comfortably and said so.
Hearing this, Lu Mian was still worried, so he used Ksitigarbha's Soul to check carefully, and only stopped after he found that there was indeed no problem.
Then, he glanced at Rita, who couldn't stop looking at Yae Rin, and said:
“The maid who just took care of everything for you so gently is called Rita, Rita Rossweisse.
"Come on, say 'thank you Sister Rita'."
Yae Rin tilted her head blankly, but then, without any shyness, she smiled sweetly at Rita who was not far away.
"Thank you Sister Rita~" she repeated.
Can this cause any effective harm to the maid who is perfect and elegant in every aspect?
Yes, I can. I very much can.
Rita's expression remained unchanged, but her eyes had inevitably softened.
She paused, then walked to Yae Rin, took out a handful of candy from somewhere, leaned over and handed it to Yae Rin, "You're welcome, here, this is a reward for good children."
Looking at the tempting candies wrapped in colorful candy wrappers in front of her, Yae Rin pursed her lips and suddenly raised her head to look at Lu Mian beside her.
In return, Lu Mian gave him a gentle smile like a slanting spring breeze.
And a voice:
"Take it. These candies are all from Rita's kindness. What do you want to say now?"
"Thank you, Sister Rita~" Yae Rin, who was already quite familiar with the process, first reached out to take the candy, and then said without thinking.
Smile, your smile is probably sweeter than candy.
Rita, who had been put into a vulnerable state before and was now being attacked at close range, straightened her delicate body silently and looked at Lu Mian again.
"At this point, the guidance process that the Bishop ordered me to have is now complete. Next, I will send you all on the warship back to St. Freya Academy.
“However, the Bishop has specifically mentioned that if Lord Lu Mian wishes to stay at the Tianming Headquarters for a longer period of time, that is fine too. The choice is yours.
"How about it? If you want to stay, I can continue to be your guide."
As she said this, she could no longer maintain that perfect smile on her face that was flawless and impeccable.
Although he was still smiling, he seemed a little more helpless—a kind of helplessness that was well-intentioned.
Looking at Rita who had "broken her composure", Lu Mian raised his eyebrows in slight curiosity, but he could also see that she was a little uncomfortable because her clothes were dirty.
Therefore, he immediately declined without any further thought:
"If I could spend a few more days at the Tianming headquarters, I would be happy with it.
"But if we really do that, the greatest principal of our Saint Freya Academy will lead the warships to attack the Destiny Port."
Hearing him say that, Rita covered her lips and chuckled, "Oh, it really sounds like something Lady Theresa would do."
Lu Mian smiled without saying anything, and also became a little helpless.
Like? Definitely!
After that, the two chatted for a while.
