"It's eleven o'clock. Why don't you have lunch before coming? I've even finished collecting the data for the mice today."
"Sorry, Doctor, Danzhu and I will bring back milk tea in the next week..."
"uh-huh?"
"…and promise not to be late again."
"very good."
Mebius nodded, then gestured to a pile of documents beside him.
"These are the documents you two have to deal with today. You are not allowed to leave until you finish them tonight."
"...Doctor, you might as well just kill us."
Danzhu looked at the pile of documents that was almost as tall as her, her eyes looking dead.
"Even if he dies, you have to deal with it for me."
Mebius said expressionlessly, glanced at the terminal in his hand again, and then placed it on the top of the pile of documents.
"Also, this is the experiment we're going to do tomorrow. Be prepared. We need to finish it tonight. I've roughly processed the data, so you guys can break it down a bit."
"No……"
"And remember to bring milk tea tomorrow, and don't be late. You said so yourself."
"Help……"
Before they even got the documents to process, Danzhu and Cangxuan had already prostrated themselves on the ground without caring about their image, and were almost throwing their heads against the ground.
“Senior Sister Klein…save…save…”
The two little ones slowly crawled to Klein, who was processing documents again, and tugged at the corner of her clothes pitifully.
"Don't ask Klein for help. She has to accompany me to do the experiment today."
Mebius' words came faintly.
"……Feel sorry."
Seeing Mebius say this, Klein had no choice but to speak with a hint of apology.
It seems that the fact that the two of them worked overtime all night is irreversible.
"Ruined……"
The two little ones fell to the ground completely and couldn't get up again.
…………
………………
On the other side, Xi Wang returned to the dormitory which he had not been back to for some time. However, when he pushed open the door and looked at the figure in the room, he frowned somewhat unhappily.
"…How did you get in?"
"Oh? As expected, you came out today~ Hmm... From your looks, the operation was successful and you are recovering well."
The man looked at Xi Wang and then nodded with satisfaction.
"answer my question."
Xi Wang lowered his eyes slightly and his tone became a little colder.
"Okay~ Don't be angry~ I'm in charge of logistics after all. Even if I transfer here, I'll still be the same. After all, I can only handle these things..."
The man raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
"And as a semi-exclusive support person, is it weird that I have a key to your room?"
"Don't worry~ It's just this time. Who told you to stay with that doctor for so long? It made us all very worried, and even a lot of tasks piled up."
"Look, here's the key I got. I'm giving it to you."
As he spoke, he threw a small terminal towards Xiwang, which contained the "key" to open Xiwang's door, as well as some other things.
"...It won't happen again."
Xi Wang understood why he came...the poisonous pupa couldn't wait to test his combat capabilities after his "rebirth".
"Don't worry, it's just this once."
The man smiled and spoke in a nonchalant manner.
"Oh, by the way, you've been with the doctor for so long, so you probably haven't had any sugar in a while, right? I brought you a lot, just in time to replenish your supply."
As he spoke, he took out two boxes of white star-shaped candies from his pocket, put one box aside, and handed the other box directly to Xi Wang.
"Would you like to check it out?"
"........."
Xi Wang looked at him silently and saw that he was still standing there with a smile, with no intention of leaving at all.
So Xiwang took the box of candies, opened it, took out one of them, and looked at it casually.
"........."
He still showed no intention of leaving.
So Xi Wang stuffed it into his mouth, bit the white stars into pieces at random, and then swallowed them.
A familiar sweet taste fills my mouth.
"……grateful."
Xiwang added another sentence at the end.
"As long as you are satisfied, this is the greatest affirmation for someone like me who works in logistics."
Only at this moment did he seem satisfied. With a smile on his face, he took a step, squeezed past Xiwang, went out the door, and walked away slowly.
"Don't worry~ You can still have a good rest today~"
As he walked, he waved to Xi Wang with his back to him, and there was a slight rise in the tone of his voice.
"Ying has nothing to do today. She's probably still accompanying her cute sister~"
"Ah, I just told you, there's no other meaning. After all, you have such a good relationship, I think you are also concerned about her whereabouts, right?"
"Anyway, I wish you all a nice day~"
"As for the rest, I'll just wait for your good news."
"........."
Xi Wang watched him leave, his gaze returned to the box of candy in his hand, and in the end he said nothing.
He just quietly put away the two boxes of candy.
No complaints, just the same as before.
Chapter 28: Eden's Unique Welcome Party
[As a fusion warrior, your life is almost the same as before, except that the missions you perform are more dangerous, you need to clean up some "traitors" from time to time, deal with some people who have gone crazy because of panic, and deal with some people who try to fish in troubled waters in the chaos. There is no change... Of course, it would be better if Mobius didn't always harass you.]
[Of course, some things happened along the way, such as you went to visit Sakura and Ling. This was also the first time you visited Ling after she came to the Fire Moth.]
[When she saw you, she was a little surprised, and then she unconsciously began to complain about you and Sakura, saying "Were you two working at Fire Moth before, and you didn't even tell me?" This question made you and Sakura a little embarrassed, after all, it was not easy for you to tell her what your real "jobs" were.]
[However, fortunately, Ling is a well-behaved and sensible girl, and she did not dwell on this topic too much. You also think this is a good thing. After all, Sakura has now been protected by Dr. Mei and Dr. Mobius, and Poison Pupa can no longer directly command Sakura. If this continues, Poison Pupa will probably completely hand Sakura over to Mobius and the others as a symbol of "alliance"]
[This way, Sakura and Ling can gradually get away from that terrible place... Even though you and Sakura know that it will be difficult to escape in the end, but... how can you not try? Even for Ling, you must try this way.]
[As for the various "side effects" on your body after you and Sakura became fusion warriors, Ling didn't care much. She knew that you were heroes fighting for humanity, and you were also her well-known sister and "older brother", and that was enough.]
[She began to care about whether the mission you were carrying out was dangerous, and worried about your safety. She asked you if she could also join the Fire Moth, even if it was just to do logistics or even odd jobs. She also wanted to help.]
[What a lovely girl, isn't she? ]
[After discussing with you, Sakura also agreed with Ling's idea. After consulting with Dr. Mei, Ling was able to enter the Fire Moth and help with logistics.]
[Ling's joining was naturally welcomed by many people. The happiest one was Alicia. On the day Ling joined, Alicia even brought Eden with her, which surprised Ling... This surprise was really too big for her.]
[But fortunately, Eden himself is a very approachable person, without any celebrity airs. He responded to Ling's various questions very familiarly. Before leaving, he even gave Ling a record and an autographed photo, which made Ling very happy.]
[During this process, Eden also came to see you, and you were officially introduced to each other. With the help of Alicia, you and her became friends.]
[Come to think of it, Eden is also a friend of Alicia, and he knew her before Alicia joined the Fire Moth. He is somewhat similar to you.]
[But you didn't care much about it, and even wanted to stay away from her. It was enough for you to have only Alicia shining. If there was another one, it would be a bit dazzling... Especially when Eden pointed out your hidden emotions when you first met, although you acted nonchalant, you still had some resistance.]
[Besides, a big star like Eden, who may even become a propagandist for the Fire Moth in the future, should stay away from people like you, lest she become disappointed with the Fire Moth organization after learning about the messy "darkness" in the Fire Moth.]
[Just like those "traitors" you dealt with]
[And you can also see that Eden has not fully recovered psychologically because of the "Seventh Great Collapse". If she is exposed to those messy things again, I'm afraid her expectations for the future of this world will be shattered.]
[After all, in order to resist the collapse, the Fire Moths had to lower their bottom line again and again. As for what will happen in the end, they themselves don’t know.]
[Besides, you don’t want to expand your social circle any further, lest you need to treat your friends as “traitors” and purge them later.]
[However, Alicia doesn’t seem to think so.]
[Perhaps because she saw that you and Eden got along well, or perhaps because of the fact that you were "the big star that Ling admired", Alicia actively tried to get you to spend time with Eden. Whenever she had time, she would chat with you, or take you to listen to Eden's music in her spare time.]
[Although you didn't refuse, you felt helpless... After all, when you go out shopping during breaks, you have to carry more bags, and even have to act as a clothes hanger to try on clothes from time to time - I don't know why, the three of them are particularly enthusiastic about this. Sometimes, it was Eden who was choosing clothes for Alicia and Sakura, but the three of them would turn their attention to you, which was confusing.]
[Although others may think that having three very popular beautiful girls around you is a very happy thing, and they even looked at you with jealous eyes, but only you know how exhausted you are in dealing with them... Not physically, after all, it is impossible for you to be unable to do such a small thing after becoming a fusion warrior, but mentally exhausted]
[You even have to deal with Mobius's harassment occasionally. This guy is even more of a heavyweight. His interest in you increased greatly after the Fusion Warrior surgery, which made you resist staying in the Fire Moth base for a while. If it weren't for Alicia, Grayshu's family, and Sakura's work, you wouldn't even want to meet her.]
[…Huh? Why does it feel like there is no difference from before? Is this an illusion?]
[Oh, by the way, although it seems that a lot of things have been said about Eden before, in fact, Eden has not officially joined Fire Moth yet. She is just staying inside Fire Moth to receive psychological treatment. As for why she can move freely inside Fire Moth before joining... As the brightest star of the current era and one of the current largest sponsors of Fire Moth, she still has this privilege.]
[When Eden adjusted her mental state and officially joined the Fire Moth, she also had the most impressive "welcome party"]
[It’s funny to say that in the past, team-building activities like welcome parties were basically organized by Alicia, but as luck would have it, when Eden officially joined, Alicia was out on a mission, and this mission fell to another captain of the Fire Moths - Kevin.]
[Kevin, who has similar achievements to Alicia and is also exceptionally powerful, has this power. When Kevin heard that Eden was going to join the Fire Moth, he naturally accepted this task.]
[I almost forgot Kevin was a fan of Eden. I always saw his cold expression during this period and almost forgot that he used to be a sunny and cheerful boy.]
[However, Kevin really has no experience in this area, so in the end he took Eden and others to eat noodles at the welcome party... and they were still cold! (Kevin still can't control the side effects, please forgive me)]
[When you came back from your mission that day and rushed to the scene, you almost couldn't hold it in]
[Especially when Eden asked you curiously, "Is this the initiation tradition of the Fire Moths? You need to eat a bowl of cold noodles before you can join?", you even had the urge to sigh and turn around and leave.]
[When you privately found Kevin and asked him why the welcome party turned out like this, the answer you got was "He didn't know how to hold a welcome party, he agreed to it on impulse, and then this happened." In the end, he even turned to you for help, obviously he was also aware that the scene in front of him was very embarrassing]
[You really want to pull his collar and shake his head to confirm whether there is water in it... Oh no, if it is Kevin, the water should be frozen into ice inside and can't come out]
[And in the end, you still agreed to help Kevin... After all, Eden is a friend of Alicia and you, and you don't want to disappoint her too much.]
[As a star, Eden is also an artist, so you think you can prepare in this direction]
[You first went to find Kosmo and Desdobia who were doing a physical examination and preparing for the fusion warrior surgery. One of them loves to play the harmonica, and the other is keen on giving gifts to friends. Maybe they can help you a little... After learning about the situation here, Desdobia readily agreed, and Kosmo also agreed to help after a brief hesitation.]
[Then you found Ling. As a fan of Eden, she naturally liked to imitate Eden's singing. After knowing this, she was also excited to perform in front of her idol.]
[After that, you gritted your teeth again, and walked into Mebius's laboratory with a somewhat stiff expression. After being forced to pay Mebius a small "price", Blanca, with a smile on her face, went to the welcome party with Gresh.]
[After that, you found a few colleagues who had musical or painting skills in your memory and asked them for help... It turned out that your memory was as good as ever. Basically, you found everyone you were familiar with. Even if you were not familiar with them, you could still bring them over with the help of Alicia and Eden's fame.]
[…Unfortunately, Sakura has to go out on a mission, otherwise you might have to ask her to prepare some special food… But you can do this yourself. You’ve been with Sakura for so long, and you can also recreate some of it based on your memory.]
[Considering that there are quite a lot of people coming to the welcome party, I may need to tell the kitchen staff...]
[Soon, more and more people came to the welcome party, and the room Kevin had prepared gradually became crowded, and finally everyone had to move to the place where the dance was held in the past to continue.]
[Kosmo played the harmonica, which he was not very good at, as accompaniment. Perhaps because he was too nervous, he was out of tune several times. The melody that should have been relaxing became a little funny at this moment. Ling imitated her idol on the stage, and her cute appearance made people applaud frequently.]
[Destobia handed the selected gift to Eden, feeling a little shy and embarrassed. On the side, Gray was sitting in Blanca's arms, drawing sketches for Eden and the people present one after another, as if she wanted to keep everything in front of her on her drawing paper]
[Those who were a little timid and worried that they could not perform well gradually relaxed and picked up their musical instruments that they had not touched for a long time because of the battle, and picked up their paintbrushes that they had not touched for a long time because of work.]
[Although most people's performances were improvisations, their painting skills were unfamiliar, and even the gifts were prepared on the spur of the moment, as the atmosphere gradually heated up and the emotions slowly rose, everyone no longer cared about these things and showed themselves to the fullest, expressing their inner thoughts]
[Faced with all this, Eden was naturally happy. She could feel everyone's emotions from their music, and could also see their thoughts from their slightly clumsy painting skills... and that was why she felt happy.]
[The yearning and expectation for the future, the hope that shines like stars, will be remembered in her heart]
[Finally, the welcome party came to an end with your amazing performance... Everyone was surprised that you had such a skill, even Ling didn't know about it.]
