And so, with a perfectly straight face, he stepped forward and performed an inspection of Fairy's new body.
After a thorough examination, he confirmed that there were no major issues with her body. Furthermore, whether it was the tactile sensation or anything else, she was indistinguishable from a real girl. This was truly astonishing, but considering it was an S-rank talent given to him by the system, such an effect wasn't entirely surprising.
"I'm glad you're okay. I'm sorry for what I did to you earlier," Wise said, reaching out to stroke Fairy's green hair. The texture of her twin tails was incredibly smooth. How had he even managed to grab onto them before?
Hearing his words, Fairy shook her head and replied magnanimously, "It's alright, Master. You don't need to apologize for what happened. I did it all willingly. Besides, as an artificial intelligence, I am required to unconditionally obey your commands. So, it was what I was supposed to do."
Although Fairy said this, she was clearly delighted that Wise had apologized and shown concern for her.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Fairy added, "Additionally, my current body is a data personification. Therefore, aside from data viruses, no other form of network attack can cause me any substantial harm."
The implication was that no matter what Wise did to Fairy's body, it would be fine. Even if he wanted to try some 'dam-breaking' kind of play, it would be perfectly okay.
But...
Wise: Scared silly by the 'dam-breaking' kind of play!
In any case, the matter with Fairy was resolved, and Wise could finally rest easy. However, just as he was about to exit the data space, she reached out and stopped him. He turned his head, puzzled, and saw a hesitant look on her face.
"Master, could I ask you to rate my current appearance?"
"Mhm, it's very beautiful. Since it's the form you chose, it must be the one you desire most in your heart. Of course, I like it."
After saying this, Wise exited the network space, leaving Fairy standing there, frozen, occasionally emitting a soft crackling of static.
The next morning, after waking up, everyone prepared to leave. Ellen was anxious to wake her three best friends, and Corin had to get back to managing her company—though her assistant, Ben, had likely handled everything in her absence. Besides those two, the others seemed to have some free time.
Only Rina, worried that her kidnappers might retaliate and not wanting to cause trouble for Wise, had been planning to move into a safe house provided by Victoria Housekeeping after their date.
However, at that moment...
"By the way, Wise, the Carnival is still on for a few more days. For our date... how about tomorrow?" Anby's calm words instantly made the atmosphere in the room anything but calm.
"Yeah, brother! Our promised date was ruined, so you have to make it up to me somehow. It's decided! I'll take tomorrow," Belle declared.
"Meow? Then I want one too! The day after tomorrow, I happen to be free!" Nekomata chimed in.
"Mhm, my current project will be finished the day after that..." Corin added.
As the girls went back and forth, Wise's next few days were completely scheduled. What awaited him was six consecutive days of dates. Don't think for a second that this would be easy. The girls might be fine, but he would have to go through the same activities six times in a row!
Oh well. It couldn't be helped. Who else was there to blame for the mess he had created?
Over the next few days, Wise continuously accompanied the girls on their dates. To maintain his own enthusiasm, he even bought some items from the Emotional Value shop that could temporarily seal memories. During each date, he would temporarily seal away the memories of the previous day's date, then retrieve them all after everything was over.
It's also worth mentioning that Zhu Yuan and Qingyi, who were in charge of maintaining security at the Carnival, were both surprised and puzzled when they noticed that the girl by Wise's side changed every single day. This was because Wise seemed to display an intimacy that went beyond friendship with each girl. For example, holding hands—it was one thing with Belle, but with the other girls, it was something to ponder. There were also hugs, sharing a single ice cream cone, and other such things.
However, neither of them were stalkers, so this was all they saw. As for things like kissing, the girls were all too shy to do that on a public street.
Several days later...
Wise was sprawled out on the sofa in the first-floor room. He couldn't help it; the memories of all the dates from the past few days had flooded his mind at once, and he needed some time to sort through them.
"Brother, Rina has decrypted the information on that storage unit. You'll probably need to go over to her place," Belle said, holding her phone.
By now, Wise had recovered and nodded. "Okay, I understand."
Looking back on the past few days, a lot had certainly happened. Besides his dates with the girls, Perlman had actually escaped in an airship, causing the investigation of the Vista case to be temporarily shelved. He also heard on the Net that the buyer for the Balai Building had ultimately backed out of the purchase and paid the penalty fee. It was unclear if this was because of the two strange Ethereals or because the building had nearly become an accomplice to the airship hijackers.
Well, let's not worry about that for now. I should go see Rina first. After all, Corin and Grace are coming over later.
The scene changed. The two arrived at the agreed-upon location. The moment they got there, Rina enthusiastically rushed forward, wrapped her arms around Wise's neck, and couldn't help but give him a kiss.
Belle, watching from the side, couldn't help but roll her eyes and silently complain to herself, Honestly, it's only been a few days. Why is she so excited?
At this moment, she had no idea that when she herself was separated from Wise for a few days in the future, her own reaction would be even more exaggerated than Rina's.
"Rina, I'm relieved to see you in such high spirits. How have you been lately?"
"Mhm, although I've been in hiding these past few days, Victoria Housekeeping has taken very good care of me. Other than not being able to see you often, there have been no other problems. I estimate I should be able to return to my normal life in a little while."
Rina's home was right here in Sixth Street, and it was quite close to the video store, so visiting each other would be very convenient in the future.
At this point, Belle couldn't help but ask Rina why she had ended up in that situation in the first place. Rina looked a bit embarrassed. Although she had sensed something was off when she saw the commission, she couldn't help it—the client was simply paying too much.
After getting some useful information from Rina, she handed the data from the storage unit over to them.
