[On the first day of Hua's return, in the critique meeting, Hua represented you and gave MEI and Mobius a stern lesson alone.]
Since Hua did not believe that the two had been separated for a long time, there was no life-or-death meeting.
But for MEI and Mobius, Hua really showed what "queenly dignity" is.
[The cooking contest, which looked like a farce, is already history.
Hua intervened personally and achieved a new collaboration with Einstein.]
No, no, no, this is simply a bribe, right?
"In other words, that box of chocolates was given to you by your father?"
"Yes, it was a gift my father received from a student, but since he wasn't used to it, he gave it to me."
Hua pushed up her glasses seriously and looked at the doll in front of her.
"But I'm not interested in chocolate, I simply needed Dr. Einstein's help, so I gave it away."
"This is really a dirty espionage business."
Tian Shi complained unconsciously.
It seems that his "God-Killing Plan" will come to an end here.
But Hua didn't seem to care much.
"My original intention in returning this time was to adjust the relationship between younger sister MEI and Dr. Mobius, but now it seems that I no longer need to adjust it."
When talking about the main purpose of her return this time, Hua breathed a sigh of relief.
"But I always feel that younger sister and Dr. Mobius are doing something behind my back... Master Tian, do you need me to investigate it?"
"..."
What we're saying is that what they are both doing behind your back is preparing to fight against you?
After all, the fighting power you just showed was too high; of course, Tian Shi couldn't say it directly.
"Just pay attention."
"I understand."
"If both of them keep fighting, openly or secretly, I will be responsible for mediating."
It seemed that Hua had completely misunderstood Tian Shi's meaning.
But it doesn't matter, she will realize it sooner or later in the future.
"Let's not talk about that, Hua, now that you're back, why don't you participate in the research and development of some projects?
You can't stay doing nothing during this exchange period, can you?"
Tian Shi changed the subject.
"Will you join the project?"
Hua asked with a thoughtful expression.
"Do you already have an idea?"
"Well, it turns out that your younger sister had a project that has just been included in the agenda."
"What's it called?"
"Project Key of God."
Tian Shi said in a low voice.
"To be more specific, it is the anti-Honkai impact god-slaying weapon powered by the Herrscher core: The Key of God."
This is not Tian Shi's jokingly "god-killing plan".
"Huh... Did I hear that right? The engine is the Herrscher core?"
Hua's face reflected some disbelief.
In that period, when the Honkai was just beginning, it could be said that MEI's idea was a whole era ahead of the world; this was something that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to think about.
During this period, MEI's suggestion was taboo.
And there is no doubt that Hua has already felt that if this plan can really succeed, it will be a technology sufficient to change the situation.
"Don't get too excited too soon, after all, this proposal is still being debated."
"If we get more support, we can move forward with the formal research a step faster."
"You also know that it is difficult for such a radical and dangerous proposal to get the consent of the majority of people in an organization."
Although in terms of the course of history, the Key of God Project will definitely be implemented, this process must be done as quickly as possible.
"I understand, I will find a way to support my younger sister."
"If there is a plan, I can try to get support for her among our elite teams."
Hua had not considered the possibility of failure; after all, this was a plan that Master Tian had approved.
"But it seems that younger sister has not done anything these days."
"Then you underestimate MEI.
From a certain perspective, she is the most brilliant wise person of this era."
"Hmm... this statement really makes me a little jealous."
[The Key of God Project was proposed and entered history.
Under your direction, Hua also became one of its promoters.]
[The day after her return, Hua requested Soul Steel to make new dolls.
She discussed the Key of God Project with her opponents.]
[Day 3, making puppets and discussing.]
[On the fourth day, Elysia continued to ask about you indirectly, but she got nothing.]
[Day 5, The Pink Fairy Miss is exploring...]
[Day 6, The Pink Fairy Miss is exploring...]
"Miss Elysia, what are you doing here?"
MEI couldn't bear to look at Elysia, who was wearing a white coat and pretending to be a laboratory assistant.
"Huh? Isn't it obvious? I'm volunteering."
Elysia shook the white coat that was a little big on her.
Elysia with her white coat was actually quite cute, although that was only in Tian Shi's opinion.
In MEI's opinion, Hua...
"I have never heard of anyone who has worked as a volunteer in a laboratory."
MEI pushed up her glasses and said nothing to the smiling Elysia who was in front of her.
Dangerous person, leave the laboratory immediately!
These last few days, MEI has occasionally heard her teacher murmur something like "quite cute."
Is this a high-risk person?
But, then again, the compatibility between Tian Shi and MEI continues to increase slowly but steadily.
"Dr. MEI, why are you acting as if you are protecting yourself from thieves...? Aren't we friends?"
Elysia opened her eyes as if she was very distressed and incredulous.
"No, please, don't make that face. Miss Elysia, it's clear that you were kicked out of Dr. Mobius's laboratory, right?"
"Dr. MEI, you are very boring. You always have that serious face, and nobody will want you."
"Um... ahem, why do I need to be liked by someone?"
Elysia's words almost broke MEI's plan; after all, MEI was self-aware that her personality was not pleasant.
Although Elysia didn't care, Tian Shi's words... mattered a lot!
A lot!
"Don't pretend, Dr. MEI, in fact, that 'Master Tian' is your boyfriend, right?"
Elysia showed an expression that showed she understood everything.
"Hmm... let me guess. If that's the case, then he is Dr. MEI's boyfriend, could he be Dr. Mobius's deceased husband?"
Elysia guessed calmly with a smile on her face, but at the same time she carefully confirmed MEI's reaction with her peripheral vision.
"What are you talking about, Miss Elysia? Dr. Mobius's deceased husband is her deceased husband, Do... ahem, Master Tian is Master Tian."
Lying about her deceased husband, it seems that Mobius is really cunning, MEI complained in her heart but remained calm on the surface.
"Dr. Mobius doesn't have a deceased husband, does she? The supposed marriage is actually fake, ehhhhh~~."
"..."
MEI couldn't understand if it was Mobius who Elysia had discovered, or if Elysia had discovered her.
In short, something like this could be discovered.
Mobius, you are too lazy!
"Well, don't worry, it's not that Dr. Mobius has been discovered. It's just the result of my reasonable inference."
For some reason, Elysia had put on a brown checkered beret, a monocle, and was holding a pipe that wasn't even lit.
"Huh? Wait, where is the beard I prepared? Ah, I found it."
Elysia hurriedly fixed her beard and then coughed twice in a calm and mature voice.
"Ahem, next, please watch the famous detective, Miss Elysia, reveal the answer to everyone~~?"
"Will it be because Dr. Mobius deleted the previous photo? It's easy to find the answer with a little reflection."
Hua, who came over with a large cardboard box full of things, did not hesitate to interrupt.
Now that I think about it, the future Hua has some connection with the detective...
"In fact, many people think that the story of Dr. Mobius and her husband is a bit strange."
Hua still remembers what Himeko told her before leaving.
"The so-called feeling of something strange is, to a certain extent, an example of having suspicions, but not being able to prove them."
"Hmm... I want to act for once, Hua, you are so ruthless in sabotaging me..."
Elysia, who had already struck a pose, angrily tore off the beard she had just put on.
"What do you think? I just said that Elysia is an interesting person, didn't I?"
Tian Shi was already laughing a lot behind MEI; to be honest, he really wanted to see Elysia's detective reasoning, he felt it would be very interesting.
What a pity.
"..."
Could you please stop praising outsiders in that way in front of your students?
MEI's eyes were slightly resentful.
"Well, but I also know more or less what your concerns are, Dr. MEI."
Suddenly, Elysia approached and took MEI aside.
"Dr. MEI, are you afraid that I will also fall in love with your Master Tian?"
Although Elysia's voice was very low, it still startled MEI, and an expression of "Just as I expected" appeared on Elysia's face.
"No, nothing."
The doctor is next to us!
How could she admit such a thing?!
"Don't worry. Nobody would be so brazen as to eavesdrop on the private conversation of two girls, right?"
Tian Shi: "..."
"Don't worry, Dr. MEI, my love is not that cheap."
Elysia seriously advised her.
"When you picked me up earlier, didn't you say that you were interested in love lately?"
I still clearly remember this incident.
"Well, being interested in love doesn't mean I'm going to fall in love with everyone I meet, right? I still don't have any experience in love. Don't you have too much confidence in your 'Master Tian'?"
"Hmm..."
Does that seem to be the case?
MEI was a little shocked.
Could it be that she and Mobius were being too sentimental?
That's right, love is not a unilateral thing.
Even if Elysia has a good figure, a pleasant personality, and is good at household chores, she will not necessarily fall in love with her teacher.
Hmm... if you look at it this way... it seems we don't need to protect him so strictly?
Wait!
That was close!
She almost got me.
"What if... I mean, what if, Elysia, you fall in love with the professor at first sight?"
"Hahahaha~That's another story"
Elysia scratched her cheek.
"But I'm not a person who falls in love easily, so how could I fall in love at first sight?, did you fall in love with that guy at first sight?"
"No."
Well, this is more realistic.
It took them a long time to get along so well.
In fact, Tian Shi and all the hosts so far basically have a long period of being together.
But despite saying that, MEI finally refused.
You can talk about him, but if the Doctor doesn't want to see you, no matter how much you say, it will be useless!
At most, we can get along better in the future.
Besides, what the hell is that thing of yours?
Elysia is really a person to be careful with.
"By the way, big sister, the box you are holding contains..."
"Dr. Einstein has created a puppet."
Hua took two Soul Steel dolls out of the box and handed them to the two men.
"Since I didn't find a suitable container at the time, and it would be a bit conspicuous if I carried it directly, I simply put it in a cardboard box. This is yours; the other one I already sent to Nuwa."
During this period, the two sisters Fuxi, Nuwa have gotten along very well with Hua; it really is a compatibility advantage, right?
"Mmm... look at it more closely. The dolls without a face are really ugly and cute."
Elysia lifted the doll and observed it.
It was a Soul Steel doll, finely polished in all aspects, but, unfortunately, its face was expressionless.
"By the way, why is its face blank?"
"Because it's not important?"
Hua thought for a moment and replied.
After all, by possessing it, she can change the appearance of the Soul Steel to a certain extent, such as the face.
She can also effectively hide Tian Shi's information.
"What do you mean by unimportant... Hua, I remember that the Soul Steel has good plasticity?"
"Certainly."
"Is it okay to put a pink dress on it?"
"Of course."
Hua was a little confused by Elysia's line of thought.
"Then, can I carve the face on this doll?"
Elysia asked excitedly, even setting aside the topic of love.
"Well... there's no problem. Nuwa will also do it, but I want to clarify in advance that Dr. Einstein will not offer a guarantee."
Nuwa is a full-time stay-at-home girl.
She knows practically all the skills related to figures, so it is no problem for her to modify a doll.
But Elysia...
"Nuwa wants to make a figure of her sister. Miss Elysia, can I ask you what kind of figure you want to make?"
Unconsciously, Hua accepted the idea.
"What I want...?
Mmmm."
Elysia held a somewhat ugly doll in her hands.
"Then I'll make myself."
"Hmm?"
Hua didn't understand what Elysia meant for a moment.
"If one day I disappear from this world, well, maybe I die in combat, or of illness, etc. "
"But if possible, I want to leave a trace of my existence in this world. Isn't this doll the best way to prove my existence in the world?"
